ExIGENCIEs OF LEGIsLATION.-Af few
mornings since couple Of our citizcns-
new comers-went out on the long bridge
for the purpose of shooting ducks. On
reaching an eligible position they found a
posted notice of an ordinance forbidding
the use Of firearms within the corporate
limits of the town. Not wishing to violate
the law, and determined not to lose their
sport, the two sportsmcn turned back
hunted up sufficient number of the trus-
tees to make quorum of the Town Coun.
Gil, had a meeting held and the ordinance
amended so as to leave out of its operations
the place where they desired to shoot, af-
ter which they proceeded with their sport,
having lost but little time in having the
law adapted to the exigency of the occa-
sion. This incident shows the amiable
disposition of our public authorities to con-
form their institutions to the convenience
Of the new corners.

LEcTURE.-The lecture of Jacob Hoo.
yer, Esq, in the Presbyterian Church,
last Tuesday evening, upon The Citizen"
was very creditable effort and was highly
applauded by his auditors. Its brevity
was in striking contrast to most similar
efforts, and as the Tribune remarks, dis
played to marked extent the power Of
expressing very much in very few words.

q We learn from Mr.. Chapman, of
Steilacoom, that stockholders of the Puget
Sound Wooden Manufacturing Company
have determined to put their mill in oper-
alton at an early day. This is a good
move for the stockholders as we'll as the
people of the Territory, for it will not be
long before it will become paying enter
prise.

Coon Beehive have received from
the proprietors of the North Pacific Rail-
road Brewery, of Steilacoom, specimen
key of their brew. With age it would be
equal in favor and body with the best of
the famous Milwaukee lager. They have
expended 1000 upon their brewery, and
are provided with vaults for ripening their
beer into regular lager, which has never
yet been produced in this Territory. Far
mers will do we'll to turn their attention to
raising barley and hops, for which this
brewery will cause considerable demand.

THE New MILr..-The new sash and
door factory of Messrs. Miller L. Ether
idse was put in operation last Tuesday,
and worked to the entire satisfaction of its
owners. Several weeks will probably
elapse before finished work will be attempt
ed, the mill now being run in preparing
rough material, to stack up and become
thoroughly seasoned before being made
into the various articles it is intended to
supply. In the meantime, the necessary
machinery will be put in, and everything
made in readiness to farnish the the trade
which will undoubtedly spring up soon as
the Indictment season has passed.

of whom would be acceptable to him, viz :
Governor O. p. Morton of Indiana Cen

tV From the BALES !Mountaineer Of
February 25,h:
We have had all kinds Of weather the
past week. 1t has raiued and showed.
aud it has been warm and cold by turus.
Taken all together We have had quite a
variety. More disagreeable weather is
wanted, especially in Yakima valley and
in the country to tho south and east Of u,
to insure good crops OF grass aud grain.
1t is rumored that Reverend Gustavus
Hines, pastor Of the NJ. +. Church in this
city, was married on Monday last, at the
residence of Mr.. Thomas Johnson, of
Rockland, W. r., to sister of the last
named gentleman, lately from the East.
The demand for fat beef cattle from
Portland, Puget Sound and Victoria is in
creasiug rapidly. Mr. BENZ. Snipes sold
last week to buyer from below fifty head
Of three year old steers that were averaged
at seven hundred aud forty pounds each.
We did not learn the exact price received,
but was told that they realized over
fifty dollars per head. These cattle
were perfect teaut.cs. Two years ago they
were brought from the Willamette Valley,
where they cost ten dollars per head. The
first cost of fifty head at ten dollars per
head would be $500; the cost of transpor.
tation and herdjng them for two years
about eight dollars per head, $500 /;
amount realized from cattle, $500
amount of expenses and first cost Of stock /,
$500; profits in two years from the invest
ment of FIVE hundred dollars, $1,000. If
there is any legitimate business on the
Pacific Coast that can beat eattlo raising
for money making, we don't know Of it.
