Later report from Neah credits OHaley
with the statement that the second mate
told him while on the raft that the chief
mate with eight of the crew in a boat got
clear of the ship; the Wolcott has gone
cruising along the coast OF Vancouver
Island; the Gussie Telfare went south.
The Wolcott took Indians and canoes TO
search the shore for any that may have
landed as the current has been strong
from the westward, carrying bodies re.
covered far up the straits. 1t is believed
that the two saved are all that will be

seen her. O'Haley says the Captain was
the last man to leave the ship.

STONE THRowINe.-We call the atten-
ton of parents to the persistent habit
some OF their boys have to throwing
stones, and ask them to check them in
this. They are in the habit of gathering
in crowds on Cedar and McCannop
streets, and practicing to see who can
throw farthest, and the rocks, coming
down on the street and the houses stu.
ated on that street, make it at times
dangerous. A case in point occurred
yesterday where rock, coming through
q sky-light, fell on lady seated in a
dentists chair. If the rock had been
larger she would have been seriously in
jured, as it was, she was considerably
frightened and annoyed, and it is time
the practice was stopped.
SToCKs.-I In the matter of mining
stocks there seems to be general droop

rumors flying around in connection with
former disaster and delay is doubtless at
the bottom of the present decline. They
will be lively enough before long.

The Centennial...6ood Suggestion.

The following has been issued by the Cen
tennial Commissioners, and may be made one
of the most important and enduring features
Of the Centennial celebration.
It seems proper that the local celebration Of
July ill., 1876, which will he held throughout tho
land should be made to contribute to perma.
nent historical memorial Of the Centennial ccc.
brations In each county, provision should be
made Tor the delivery Of an address tracing tho
history Of that particular community for the past
century or from the time Of It's settlement and
including n sketch Of it, growth resources indus.
try. prospects, etc. These addresses should be
published in a uniform size like the congressional
documents, for instance, in order that they mas
be bound together by competent persons The
preparation Of such addresses would not be au un.
duly burdensomc task but In the aggregate they
would constitute an invaluable historical reposi-
tory, such as no nation has ever had the oppor.
tunity TO collect The designation Of the histor.
ians ought to be made without delay, in order
that they may have time to accomplish their work
and 1t is TO Hoped that the press will give general
circulation to the subject and that each journal
will seek its contamination in It's own locality. the
slight expense involved to be assumed by county
or town authorities
We heartily approve of the foregoing sug-
gestiou, and venture to propose that such a
County Historical celebration be held in this
place. on the Centennial Fourth, and that
Hon. +. p. WALroN be invited to prepare

IL rRouBLE.-Speaker Kerr's troubles
have just commenced. Probably none of
his predecessors were half so much annoyed
as he has been in the formation of House
committees. Democratic members of Con-
gress are not noted for their modesty, and
do not hesitate to express their wants and
insist upon having their merits and claims
recognized. There are but few positions
on the House committees which men Of solid
merit would feel 1t an honor to occupy, and
of course every democratic member expects
Kerr to remember him when he distributes
these jewels. 1t is said that the best posi-
ton will be given to Cox, and il is not GER
tain that Fernando Wood, who sold out to
Randall, will get anything more than dry
bone OF course, there will be dozens of
the hungry herd Of aspirants offended where
one is pleased and they will not be slow in
notifying the Speaker Of their feelings,

TnE PIrER CAsE.-'Thc trial Of Thomas
W. Piper the Boston sexton, for the murder
of Mabel Young in the belfry tower last
May, has resulted in TIE disagreement of the
jury, who-alter hearing evidence for a
week, and arguments for tYo days, and then
celebrating among themselves some twenty
hours-came into court and reported that
they could not agree-staudng rumor says,
nine for conviction to three for ac1uittal.
The disagreement was to have been ex-
pected, and was expected for there was not
evidence on which to hang a man. Had the
penalty been Imprisonment for life he would
probably have been found guilty. There
will be new trial of course but, perhaps,
not for murder in the first degree though,
If he killed the child, it would be hard to
make any other crime than that out Of it.
