the Winter is to be an unusually

WALLA WALLA CoUNTY.-For
the benefit of persons living at a
distance, we give a few facts and
figures relative to this Valley-its
capacities, resources, etc. Walla
Walla county covers an area offs 5000
square miles, and has a population
of more than 5000. Within the
limits of this vast county there are
at present but about 100000 acres
of land under cultivation. The nun
Der might be quadrupled and still
leave an abundance of land for pas
turage. Agriculture is in its infan>
cy here, but rapid strides will be
made in this direction in the near
future. The assessable property of
the county is valued at or near S2,.
100000. Walls Walla, although a
new county, as compared with those
on the Sound, boasts of being the
wealthiest and most populous 10 the
Territory. 1t contains seven four
ing mills, and numerous saw.mills.
Walla Walla City is the county seat,
and is becoming place of consider,
able commercial importance. Large
quantities Of -four, bacon, fruit,
goods, and supplies generally, are
packed and hauled into the various
mining camps from this point. For
the successful raising of stock this
county cannot be excelled BY any
section on the Pacific slope. Our
climate and pasturage are so we'll
adapted to this business that those
engaged in it, who have healthy
breeds of horses and cattle, rarely
find it necessary to feed during the
winter months-perhsps not more
than one season out of FIVE. A. 6ne
quality of nutritious grass grows
spontaneously everywhere through
out the county, and the SHOWS Of
winter but seldom cover this grass
to such a degree that animals cannot
get their own living. This is a fact
that all the early settlers will sub,
stantiate. The climate and soil are
especially adapted to the culture Of
fruit Of nearly every variety and de
scription. When the extensive and
fertile regions to the north and east
ward are settled with teeming pop
ulation, as will certainly be the case
at no distant day, the valley oi

FORTUNES UNEXPECTEDLY On.
TAINED.-Every now and then, saws
witty correspondent of the New
York World, the paPers-and espec
tally Western Papers-have accounts
of men and women occupying hum.
BILE positions in life who suddenly
become wealthy by heirship to some
rich person of distant kin. Just
now we hear of a stage driver who
married, not long since, a dining.
room girl, at Red Wing, Minnesota.
He took ber to Rochester, where she
has been notified that a fortune of
Sl50,000 has been bequeathed to
Der BY a relative lately deceased.
Not long since it was a washer-wo.
man who inherited a large fortune ;
and somebody was found somewhere
within the limits of the United
States to whom there came, by the
chance Of kin, not only large pro.
party in England, but a baronetcy to
serve as a sauce piqadnte to the dir
ty acres. The puzzle is what be-
comes of all these people who have
SO suddenly emerged from the gloom
Of poverty into the blaze of wealth q?
Nobody ever hears anything about
them after the first report of their
good luck. They neither build mar
Bile palaces, nor drive fOur.horse
teams, like the shOddy milliohaires /;
Lor do we remember ever to have
heard that a golden washer. woman
or diamond stage driver had found
ed asylums for the aged and INDECENT
members of their respective and res

THE SISTER OF CHARITY.
By RIoHARp DALToN wIIL1AMs.


The poem of Gerald Griffin. on the same
subject, is familiar to our readers. The fol-
lowing, by DR.. Williams,-uot unlike its
a model Of purity. breathing. as it does, ac-
cents of love and holiness. The author lived
for some time in this city, and endeared him
self to all who had the happiness of forming
his acquaintance. BE died in Thibodaux
in 1862:
Sister of Charity, gentle and dutiful,
Loving as Seraphim, gentle and mild;
In humbleness strong, and in purity beautiful.
In spirit heroic, in manners 4 child;
Ever thy love like an angel reposes,
With lowering wings DER the sufferer here,
Till the arrows of death half hidden in roses,
And hope speaking prophecy smiles on the
bier.
When life, like a Yapor, is slowly retiring,
As clouds in the dawning to Heav u uprolled,
Thy prayer like a herald ,precedss him expiring
And the cross on thy bosom his last looks
behold,
And Oh as the Spouse to thy words of love
listens,
What hundred fold blessings descend on thee
Thus the ROVer-absorbed dew in the bright iris
glistens,
And returns to the Hllies more richly again.
Sister. of Charity, child of the holiest,
Mother of orphans, and friend to the lowliest-
Stay of the wretched, the guilty, the poor
The embrace of the Godhead 80 plainly enfolds
thee,
sanctity's halo so shrines thee around,
Daring the eye thst upshrinking beholds thee,
Nor droops in thy presence abashed to the
ground.
Dim is the fire of the sunniest bushes,
Burning the breast of the maidenly rose,
tn h. hat l. haar
hushes,
When the incense ascends and the sanctuary
glows;
And the music, that seemed Heavens language,
Alteration has bowed him in silence and sighs,
And man, interAindCd with angels, is feeling
The passionate rapture that COMBS from the
skies.
Oh! that this heart, with uuspeakable treasure
Like thine, unallured by the phantom of plea
sure,
Could rend ev'ry earthly affection away.
And yet in thy presence, the billows subsiding
Obey the strong effort of reason and will
And my soul in its pristine tranquility gliding
ls calm as when God bade the ocean be still
Thy soothing, how gentleI thy pity, how tender!
Choir music thy voice is, thy step angel grace
And thy union with deity shrines in a splendor
Suouueu, ouI ulehflAlI, my spiritual lace,
W Then the frail chains are broken, q captive
that bound thee
B far from thy home is the prison of clay
Bride of the Lamb, and earth's shrd Jws around
thee
Dispense in the blaze of Oternity's day.
Still mindful as now of the sufferers story,
Arresting the thundsrs of wrath ere they roll
Intervene a cloud between US and His glory
And shield from His lightnings the shudder
ing soul,
As mild as the moonbeams in autumn descend
ing,
That lightning. ex extinguished by Mercy, shal
fall;
I While He hears with the all of peniten
| blending
! Thy prayer, Holy Daughter of Vincent d.
! Paul.

AN AWFUL PREsENTIMENT.

The incident which am about to re-
late is one of the many evidences of the
oft-repested saying, that truth is stranger
than fiction. Science, which has opened
so many doors, which has solved riddles
harder thau the Sphynx ever propounded
to the Thebans, looks with silence upon
certain kind of phenomenon which
Webster classes under the nebulous word
supernatural.
Quite as lucid is the definition of those
who deny the agency of other than physi-
cal or natural causes in producing this
class of events. Imagination, coinci-
dence, optical illusions, are the wet blan-
kets which these superbly practical people
shower upon the heads of all who may
be inclined to exclaim with the poet,
There are more things in heaven and
earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in
your philosophy" That the writer was
not extinguished years ago by one or
more of these wet blankets, may be ac-
cepted as proof that they are not 80 po-
