DEATH OF DIR. BARCLAY.

inst. lie was native of Gardisting,
city of Lerwick, Shetland Islands, and
was born on Christmas day, 1912.
When still young man, he went on a
cruise with Sir John Ross to the Arctic
regions, in search of northwest pass
age. The vessel being wrecked nearly
all on board were lost. Several of the
voyagers escaped, however, and after
having been exposed to the hardships
of the sea in that dreadful climate, they
were picked up by the Esquimaux. AZ
terward they lived with the Danes, on
the Island of Disco, for three months,
when a vessel arriving they set sail and
returned to Scotland. The Doctor at
once resumed his studies, and gradual
ed at the Royal College of Surgeons in
London, on the 4th day of July, 1898.
In the year 1889 he left Scotland for
this coast, as surgeon in the employ Of
the Hudson Bay Co., arriving at Van
couver in the Spring of 1910, which
place was then the company's head
quarters. Some two years afterwards,
he married Miss Maria Pambrun, daugh-
ter of the company's chief factor, whom
he nov leaves with family of five child
rem to mourn his death.
He served as Mayor of Oregon City
for seven years, and nine years as Coun-
Gilman, SO that for sixteen years he has
been prominent member of the city
government. He served as Coroner of
the county from 1856 to the time of his
death, "a period of eighteen years.
We join with the Enterprise, from
which source we gather these particu-
lars, in extending to the bereaved fam
lily assurances of the warm sympathy of
the community in their sad affection,
and especially that of the pioneer set
tiers, who surround his memory with
the hallowed associations of life of
common danger and privation.
PHRENoLoeY.-Prof. O. S. Fowler, the
celebrated phrenologist and author,
commenced course of lectures in Co.
lumbia Hall, on Wednesday evening,
to fair and appreciative audience.
The subject chosen, Life, Health and
Phrenology," was treated in the mas
terly manner for which he is SO univer-
sally noted. 1t is, we believe, impossi.
BILE for anybody to follow his close rea-
soning from cause to effect, without ad-
hitting the great truths embraced in
the science of phrenology. The second
lecture, Thursday evening, on "Love,
Courtship and Marriage" was received
with probably more favor than the first,
as it was exceedingly practical and upon
subject which the mind can more
readily grasp. The attendance was
quite as large as on the former occasion,
and all appeared to be delighted and
amazed at the amount of valuable in
formation which may be crowded into o
single evenings discourse. After the
lectures, examinations were made of the
chronological development of parties
selected by the audience, and the Pc
culiar characteristics of each were de-
lineated with wonderful exactness.
The third lecture will be for ladies
only, this afternoon, at half-past two
o'clock, on Female Health and Beau
ty, Maternity, &C., and the fourth this
evening to gentleman, upon "Man and
Woman, aud their Relations" It is
hoped that every person in Olympia
capable of understanding these lectures
will be present. 1t seldom happens
that our people have an opportunity Of
listening to lecturer who has made
the subject of his discourse a lifelong
study, or one whose reputation extends
over the civilized globe.
Prof. Fowler will remain in this place
until Tuesday morning, and may be
consulted at the Pacific Hotel any time,
until the day of his departure.
For TENINo.-Mr. Hicks has placed
an excellent team and ight-runnine
stage on the road to Tenino, and carries
passengers with more expedition and
for less fare than either of the regula,
lines. He generally arrives in town
from quarter to half an hour in nd.
vance of all competitors.
TACOMA HoTEL.-This house has by
far the best facilities for entertaining
the travelling public, and we are glad to
observe that its advantages are becom'
, ing appreciated. An opposition stare
