persons struck and property destroyed
by lightning. From some general cause,
such as the recent transit Of Venus, or
the proximity Of the four great planets,
there seems to be an unusual disturb
ance of the electrical currents. If a

lieve it would show more casualties from
lightning this summer than any ten pre-

DEATH oF JNo. G. LAN1ER.

This well known and respected old cit
izen quietly passed away this morning
after a brief illness. He lived here many
years and at n time wash highly pros
porous and afflueut circumstances. OF
late years he has been in i'll health and
low spirits. he possessed a gentle heart,
was sensitive to the opinion OF the public
and Of his friends almost to a morbid de-
gree. Perhaps he did not have an enemy
in the world among those who under
stood him. Our old citizens, many Of
them, have stood by him in prosperity
as well as adversely and will drop a tear
of sympathy and regret over his grave.
Peace to his memory He is at rest,
where the cares and misfortunes OF this
world cannot follow.

this last subterfuge, places him
self in ridiculous attitude; for
the latter section, which is the
only one applicable, says that he
shall designate and appoint but
one Clerk of the District in
which he resides, and nowhere
authorizes to appoint Deputy
Clerks; and no where in our
Organic Act, either, can be found
any clause that is operative now,
if it ever was, which gives to
Territorial Judges the power to
act under section sol, as Lewis
dependent mouthpiece says he
has done. The Judge will have
to resort to some other dodge
i for an excuse, and learn that no
shystcring one will pass muster
in Western Washington
The cool etfrontry of the fore
going statement cannot be COM
pretended without knowledge
Of the facts. 1st. Section SCI
refers solely to the compensation
of Deputy Clerks, without the
least reference to the manner of
their appointment. End. The
law makes no distinction what
ever between District Courts OF
the United States in the Terrific
ries and States, except in cases
specifically stated, none of which
relate to this matter in coptro-
versy. 3D.. Section 1874 does
uot allude in any manner to
Clerks, their mode of appoint
mcnt or relations to the Courts
All these pretended citations arc
made solely to give to deliberate
falsehood the semblance of truth
These facts clearly prove that
the attacks upon Judge Lewis ar,
deliberately false and malicious
the outcroppings Of a low, ma
levolent, debased party spirit
which finds no sympathy in the
minds Of honorable men of any
party. and has been notably re
buked by the expression ofevery
representative man of the Ad-
ministration party in this Terri
tory, all of whom have cordially
endorsed the action of Judge
Lewis in this matter.

there was any trout except one old
man, the landlord of the tavern. He

off before daylight, and come home with
q fine string of fish. He never would
tell any one whore he went. went one
day and said to him, confidentially:
"Mr. Dickey, / want to catch some
trout. Can you tell me where to go 2"
"Why," he said, Ego up along Bull
brook, and you'll find some."
1 knew by the way he said it, that he
wasn't telling me where he went Still,
made up my mind 1 would go to Bull
brook and try there. Bull brook was
about three miles from the village, with
not a single house for miles around. 1t
was lonely place, full of thickets, and
was called Bull brook because a great
many cattle were pastured about there.
Early in the morning, 1 started off with
my pole, which being jointed could be
carried very conveniently. trudged
along the road, which kept winding and
growing more and more lonely and dis

poplars and gloomy-looking pines which
grew along the side of the road, and al
most shut out the sunlight. l felt a lit
tie afraid of meeting cross bull, but i
whistled lively tune, and marched on
bravely.
At last arrived at the brook, and.'got
over the stone wall at the side of the
road. There was thick growth of
bushes along the edge of the stream, so
