fifty feet per mile over very favorable

The bottoms of the great river arc very
fertile, and vary in width from oue.half to
four miles. The mountains to the west
have fine stones, heavily wooded with the
finest timber; and coal, iron and salt
springs abound. Excellent coal was found
within one mile Of the surveyed line, and
iron is abundant within three miles.
The salt spring worked by Hon. G. Lam
caster furnishes about thirty gallons per
minute of brine, having II per cent. of
salt The brine rises from an artesian
well of39i feet in &c, til to within five feet
of the surface of the ground; will bear an
egg; and with present appliances will make
three tons Of salt equal to the best Liver

to be apparently lmitlcss.

in force the late kukux law, which gives
him the power to protect citizens of the
+ United States in any Of the States in the

lencc and intimidation to persons. This
story, extravagant as it may seem, received
a wide currency yesterday, and those who
! consider the republicans would resort to
any measures to break up Democratic rule
in this city gave it ready crcdence.
| 1t was said that as long ago as four
months, men in the pay of the Republican
party became members of the IIibernian
societies, and made the subject of assaiinr
/ the Orange procession Of tomorrow the
SPECIAL purpose of their talk among those
who belonged to the societies, until they
worked upon the feelings and preiudices
of the members to such an extent that n
final resolve was reached last week to stop
the Orangcmcn IL ct armis For this
object two thousand five hundred rifles
were furnished, officers appointed to com.
mand companies, aud a regular military
organization accomplished. 1t was hoped
all this might be done with the cognizance
of the police or other civic authorities aud
when the day for the procession arrived
the attack was to be made SO unexpectedly
! that the mayor governor of the state and
superintendent would be taken unawarcs
a desperate riot inauguratcd, and, in the
unprcparcl condition Of the authorities, a
call was to be made on the general govern.
mcnt, United States troops poured in and
the autonomy Of New York city destroyed.
In confirmation Of this story, those who
hold that the idea Of attacking; the Orange
men originated with certain men in the
republican party point to the fact that a
delegation from the ancient lIibcrnians
proceeded to Long Branch yesterday to
lay the matter before President Grant, and
request him. under the new law designed
ostcnsibly for the suppression of Ku Klux
ou.ragcs at the south, to exercise his
authority on the side of law and order and

IIIGH SCnooLs.-By the Investment of
a comparatively small amount Of money
not exceeding one thousand dollars sour
citizens have secured the establishment Of
a school Of high grade, under the man
ascmcnt Of accomplished and experienced
teachers, for their girls \ most favorable
opportunity is now offered for establishing
school of like character for boys, on a
very small expenditure compared to the
promised advantages.
The old Roman Catholic Church build
ing on Main.street, and the lot upon which
it stands, have been purchased by contri-
buttons made exclusively in the Fast, and
is rendered to the citizens upon condition
that the premises be suitably fitted up and
occupied as grammer school for boys
A responsible teacher of long experience,
graduate of one of the famous New Eng.
land colleges, stands ready to assume the
conduct of the school, at his own risk
when the building is suitably prepared
for that purpose. The sum required, and
for which donations are asked from the
citizens of Olympia, will not probably cx
coed one thousand dollars. The plans
may be examined at the Office of Mr.. Ab
bolt, over the Bank. This project com
mends itself to the favor of all intelligent
persons, and requires no argument to con
vince any of its claims upon the liberality
Of all good citizens.

WALTHAM
WAT CH ES.

The extensive use Of these watches for the last
fifteen years By Railway Conductors, Engineers
and ExpressmeD, the most exaeting of watch
wesrers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, stesdiness, durability and accuracy Of
the Wsltham Watch. To satisfy that class in
all these respects, is to decide the question as to
the real value of these time keepers
More than 100000, of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the people, proof and guarantee of their su-
periority over ali others.
The superior organization and great extent
of the Company's Works at WaIham, enables
them to produce watches at price which rem
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch merely pay from IS to so per cent.
more for their watches than is necessary.
These time pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real prac.
teal use. Having had the refusal of nearly
every invention in watch making originating in
this country or in Europe, only those were Anally
adopted which severe testing by the most skill

part Of the public, demon strated to be essential
to correct and enduring me-keeping.
