RETURN OF THE LINCOLN" "A Port
Townsend dispatch of the 18th instant.
announces the return of the United
States Revenue steamer Lincoln, Captain
Bailey, after cruise of two weeks on
the northern coast in search of the
wrecked steamer George 8. Wright. 1t
states that not n sign of the wreck was
seen, nor survivor found or heard of.
No information whatever OF their fate
was obtained. The British gun-boat
Petrol effected landing at several places
along the coast, and questioned the
Indians, who were found to be entirely
ignorant of the disaster and innocent
of any foul play. From few facts
that have been brought to light it is
gathered that tho unfortunate steamer

18th of January rs she was making her
up trip, where she took on board the
usual mails, q little freight, Frenchman
belonging to Omineca, and Mr.. John
Williams, who was possessed, at the
time of embarkation, of the sum of
$15, 900 in gold dust. Still continuing
her passage up, tho Wright is known to
have arrived at Sitka in safety; and at
the latter place Messrs. Charles Kin

which then numbered thirty-one souls,
all told. Mr.. Waldron, was the owner
of a fishing station at small bay called
kluvok, whittier the steamer proceeded
for the purpose of taking in freight,
consisting of some 800 barrels of sal
mon, and an assortment of skins, furs,
oil, etc.; and on the 25th of January
she sailed from that place for Nanaimo,

A WHIPPING SIX MILES LONG.

Among the Pullman conductors on
the Missouri Pacific railway is Mr..
Tom Kingsley, an old passenger con-
ductor on the G. and H. railroad.
He has been in the employ of Pull
man for some three years, and on
the Missouri Pacific tor about one
year. Night before last he left st.
Louis with his car, as usual, on his
westward trip. Upon the same car
was one of those spies sent to watch
him, who took berth, and to all ap-
pearances was an ordinary passenger
on the train. But there was some
thing sneaking in the fellows looks
that aroused the suspicion of Mr..
Kingsley, who afterward became
thoroughly convinced that the man
was a spy upon his actions. Feeling
naturally indignant, the more he
thought the matter over the more he
became enraged. In the morning
the detective arose near Otterville !;
Mr.. Kingsley approache ed him and
invited him into the baggage-car,
when after entering, he locked the
door. He then told the spy he had
discovered his character, and he
proposed to treat him as his conduct,
in his eyes, justly merited. Tom
sailed right in, and thrashed him all
the way from Otterville to smithton.
When he was through he helped
him back into the passenger car,
where he remained till he reached
Sedaiis and the Ives House. Mr.. J.
E. MillimaD, sleeping-car detective,
is now in room no. Al, undergoing
repairs, and trying to reduce the size
Of his head to natural dimensions.
Meanwhile Mr.. Pullman is bereft for
the time of the services of this very
devoted but unfortunate spy

dent of the Ohio farmer writes -
There are reasons why every tanner
should have good hay knife, and

bodies OF hay to fed, either in the
barn, or stacks, by cutting, a much
less surface is exposed to the action

the surface ofthe whole mass daily.
Experience has taught me that
NOW of hay containing fifteen tons of
hay bed to fifteen or twenty head Of
cattle, if cut into three or four equal
parts, will go as far and furnish as
much nutritive matter as sixteen
tons not cut at all-which this year
would pay $l5 for cutting. Again,
there is more or less hay at the bot
tom OF every NOW, or stack, some
