The BLOCKADE. The determined at
titude of the railroad men in Pierce
county has had the desired effect, and
the company very reluctantly paid
them their wages after they found that
bluff would not win. In this instance
the sympathy of the people was all on
one side, and the company very wisely
concluded that discretion was the bet
ter pa,t OF valor. Tract-laying is now
progressing, and it is thought will
rench Tacoma sometime next week.

The WEArHER.-It appears that the
recent snow storm prevailed over a wide
extent of country. The telegraph re-
ports about the same depth on the LIST
instant at Oakland, Roseburg, Canyon
vile, Salem, Albany, Oregon City and
Portland, in Oregon, and as far north
as La Conner, in this Territory, as fell
here, and the weather at those points
continues of unusual severity. The
temperature here has been, the past few
days, quite as severe as at any time last
winter.

Too COOP To BE Lost. The transcript
of last week, in abiding to Rev. John
r. Thompson S subject for recent Sun
day evening discourse -" The American
Deyil"-remarked that in the discus
sion, it had been informed, the devil
had got the best of the argument. A
friend OF the reverend gentleman called
his attention to the squib, when he
quietly remarked: Il have always OBJ
served that men take the side of their
friends, and don't see any reason why
the editor of the Transcript should be all
exception to the rule"

CHIEF JUSTICE. will be observed
by recent dispatches that Geo. H.
Williams, of Oregon, the present At
torney- General, has been rendered the
Office of Chief Justice of the United
States. Nopeople Of the United States
are more surprised at his elevation than
those of Oregon, where he is more gen.
orally known by the name of "Old
Flaxbrake" than by his proper patro-
nymic.

remarkable feats. The high reputation

" BEArTIrrL Snow" - Snow iell to
the depth of q couple of inches last
Sunday, and the temperature has been
so low that it has remained upon the
ground to the present time. Sleds
and sleighs have been in steady de-
mand the past few days, aud the long
hill at the head OF Main Street has been
the scene of many frolic by ''thc soft
silver light of the moon.' Romance
aside, however, we fail to realize the
poets idea of beatitude with the ther-
mometer near zero. and the bleak north
ern blasts nipping ones nose and
cheeks with his wintry breath.

TAcoM. HAHyoR Il. appears that
Commencement Bay is untitled fer n
harbor in other respects besides want
OF anchorage. This is what the Taco
LII TtbuHc says of the recent storm,
which scarcely raised a ripple in the
secure harbors of the Sound: The
wind continued all night and day, hard
and cold, ana about noon the sea be-
gan to play Tie mischief along the shore.
Several of the piles forming part Of the
bulhLead west of Tie mill were forced
from their places, and the plank3 fast
cned 70 them were broken off and
washed ashore. The steps at the mill
boat landing were destroyed. Evance's
floating boat house was loosened from
its noolings, dashed up against big
logs on the beach, and utterly smashed
to pieces. Boats lying along the beach
were filled with water and injured.
Two or three little shanties, between
town and Port Defiance, which were
standing out on the beach were also
more or less damaged"

Ak EviL,si View o. AIEaIcAy DIV
lis. The congregation Of tie Presbv
terrain Church III :his place were recently
RECALLED with full-sizcd portal; OF the
American devil, as seen from All En-
hsh standpoint, and Il hideous beast
he was represented 20 he, with his horns
and hcofs, enveloped in snlpnurouj
flames, and snorting and converting in
manner 10 as:ound the nervous be-
holder. The subject is one Of peculiar
interest, and has led to mach inquiry.
The demand now is for Il view OF the
English devil from an American stand
point. or a French devil as seen lv
Austrian eyes, or. just now, Il Spanish
devil from an army contractor field of
operations. The themes are capable of
indefinite expansion and wide range
OF oratorical display. BY the aid OF
blue-ligl:s the effect may be hi3htc ned,
and Neritabie panlemonium presented
to the view OF those prelestinel to en-
dare the toyments of eternal elimination,
willie the elect will shout lallc!ujah;
that their lines are cast in more pleasant
places. The suggestion is made in the
hope that it may lead to general
awakening of those who may live in
wholesome dread of His Satanic MAJESTY.

Hon. .. B. McFApDEN.-We were re-
joiced to meet that gentlemen who
reached here on Saturday evening on
his way to the national capital as Del
egate to Congress from Washington
Territory. Mr.. McFadden, as is we'll
known to our readers, is native OF
this country, having been born in West
Middletown, where his mother aud sis.
ter still reside. Twenty years ago he
was appointed to a Judegship in Oregon
by President Pierce and removed with
his family to the Pacific coast. After
remaining in Oregon for time he was
transferred to Washington Territory
where he has made his home ever since.
Having been chosen to represent his
Territory in Congress he comes back
after his long absence to revisit for q
few days the scenes of his early life
and receive the hearty congratulations OF
old friends upon his deserved promotion.
Time has whitened his locks somewhat.
but has not frozen " the genial current
of his soul, for he is in excellent spir-
its and health and shows himself the
same clever, high toned and large
hearted gentleman he was when he
took his departure from our midst
