Another Sudden Death.-A little
child five weeks old, of Moses Blame
residing near the Catholic Church, died
sometime during Monday night last.
The little one was little restless dur
ing the evening and after being nursed
was put to bed as usual. In the morn
ing the parents were shocked in find
ing it dead and cold, with one arm rest
ing upon it's breast, and the other
thrown above it's head. The parents
had no intimation of anything unusual
in the appearance Of the child prior to
its death. The cause of its death is a
mystery.

A MIssTArIMEST- Tribune, in
speaking of the Naval School, says: "We
notice that Master B own, the last Ore
gon appointee, has just resigned. being
unable to continue the course of study
and exercise followed in the Academy" "
In justice to the boy alluded to, we feel
constrained to say that the cause as
signed for his resignation is a pure in
vention of the editor and not the result
of any notice" which he had ever seen
of the fact. Young Brown was tie
youngest cadet in the Academy when he
entered, and the youngest in his class
when he resigned, and maintained his
standir G with boys two and three years
older than himself through three exami-
nations, when on each examination more
than one half of his class were lroppeti
out; and after standing these tests Of
ability and endurance, he resigned in
the middle of ar academic term, for
reasons entirely satisfactory to himself
and bis parents. and acceptable to the
Secretary of the Navy. We impute no
malice to the editor Of the Tribune for
his misstatement.f for his laundering hab-
it of presenting personal facts makes
him greater terror to his friends than
20 his enemies.

| The Walla Walla Statesman says: 60 We
learn that work has been commenced
on the Walla Waila and Columbia River
Railroad, and that nothing now remains
in the way of an early completion of the
enterprise. All the timber has been
got out, and with the spring rise it viii
be Aoated down to the Landing, where
| the Company own steam saw mill and
have every convenience for working up
timber as required. All, or nearly all
the iron, rolling stock, box and plat
form cars, and other appnrtenaaces Of a
railroad, are now on hand or secured.
and SO nothing remains in the way of
completing the work. A gang of labor.
ers are now at work on some heavy
"rock cutting, ard when that is COM
pleted, there will be nothing in the way
Of putting down the track. Before the
Fourth of July the road will be COM
pleted and in running order.

n. 2. RAILHoAD.--The contract for
clearing and grubbing forty miles of the
railroad rrack from Tenino north, has
been awarded to J.B. Montgomery, Esq,
at the rate of about $4,000 mile, and
Immediately commenced upon the work
with large force. The fact that Mr..
Montgomery was awarded this contract
is pretty conclusive evidence that the
Land Ring have lost their grip upon the
Railroad Company; because, if they had
continued their control this contract
would have been awarded to E. l..
Smith, the agent Of the L. S. and P. S.
Land Company, who confidently ex-
pected it. Montgomery is inimical to
the Land Ring. We also see it stated
that Governor Goodwin is one Of the
contractors for the construction of about
500 miles of the road on the Pacific Di-
vision, and he is another of the persons
to whom the land ring we're hostile,
having the power last year to defeat
him for the position of Superintendent
of the Pacific Division. Every indica-
ton of this kind is favorable to the sue
cess of the road.
