GRANprfoorESr..--The Mssosr ofIast
week cannot find words big enough to cx-
press its excessive emotions while contem-
plating its masterpiece, Garficldc. See:
"The bark of Garfeldc feels the favorine breeze,

Not a flaw in the breeze rumples her smooth bellied

There is eloqucncc!-cloquence equal
to Gar6elde's hest. 1.-The bark fear

violation Of all sense Of propriety by chang

with our friend Pcttygrovc that his patron
must feel at home in each successive ''har-
bOr," where he finds u chance tor the Con-
grcssional nomination. Her taper masts
bow gracefully to its force" Oh, how
gracefully! The port opens to welcome
her." Just as u patients mouth opens to
welcome " .Asthmatic Bittcrs." Our young
friend continues:
"On the 10Th she will set her colors, and come
forth to battle. The well known booming Of her
guns will be heard. Each one will tcll-thcy never
fail, those guns. They spoke their thunder through
California last summer, and success followed their
work. 1t will again. And we will send our victo-
riou: bark and her eloquent battery to fight our
battles on other seas"
There that will do, AL. Like wine, you'll
improve with age.
From SIrKA.-Thc Colonia says that
the L. s. :. Saginaw arrived on Satur-
day afternoon from Sitka ria the Ameri-
can military stations on the Alaskan Coast.
The news is unimpOrtant-the Saginaw
having left Sitka a few days after the Ste
rhcns took her departure thence. The
Indians arc greatly alarmed at the hostile
attitude Of the military authorities, and
few natives can be induced to approach
the town for the purposes of trade, so
fearful are they Of a collision.
W'Thc Lc Grande Seminal notes the
the fact that Oliver Badgcrtle deaf mute"

several months ago, and left many persons
a~nxiously looking for the papers which
they had subscribed for. Several Of our
people whose %sympathics for the "pcrsc-
cutcd mute" were so apparent on the trial
he had here, are in q similar fix. Mullen
stocks grow green, over here.
SODA.-Wc observe that Mcssrs. Crosby

which the sparkling beverage is manufac-
tured in any quantity that may be desired,
and Of u much better quality than the i'm.

hs- The Marshvillo bridge rapidly ap-
proaches completion. The draw is in pc.
s%ition, and the ~planking nearly finished.
When done this improvement will add
greatly to the beauty of the town and the
convenience of the people.
