SINKING OF THE GUssIE TELFAIR. The
steamer Gussie Islfair struck on rock
while on her trip from Portland to
Victoria, on the evening of tho Goth
ult., at Waterford, about 40 miles be-
low Kalama, on The Columbia river
and sustained injuries from which she
soon sunk. She had on board about
lbs tons of freight and a few passen-
gers. The passengers and so tons OF
freight were transferred to the steamer
Emma Hay,cdrd, from the position
where she was beached, on the Wash.
ington side Of the river. The remain

has been done to rescue from the UNI

search has been made By vessels from
the Government and British Columbia,
and also by the Indians. It is some
consolation to the friends of the unfor-
tunate passengers and crew. that every
effort has been made to save life and
recover the dead, yet oil fails to console
the bereaved. -'

its contents, seven buggies, twelve

$4,000. The cause is attributed to in

SEwERAaE.-The Echo publishes this
week very sensible article on the sub
ject of sewerage, and makes ON urgent
demand for some sanitary regulations
to stay the progress Of the malignant fe-
vers, which of late have become epidem-
ic. The level situation Of the business
portion of town, requires wide and deep
sewers, which may be entered when oc-
casion requires removal of distractions
to drainage. The principal blocks in
town are now served by a sixteen-inch
box drain, placed few inches under
ground and with scarcely any inclina-
ton to the place of discharge. That it
is alarmingly defective is apparent from
the ordor which exhales at times
through the thin covering Of earth by
which it is hidden. The early atten-
ton of the town authorities to this mat
ter is urgently requested by many citi-
Zens.

UNITARIAN SocIABLE. The Sociable of
this Society, held at the residence of
the Misses Cushman, on Wednesday
evening, was we'll attended and an ex-
ceedingly pleasant affair. The exercises
consisted of readings of literary articles,
original and selected, charades, "shout-
ing proverbs" and music. The con-
tributions to the Bud ct were all quite
creditable, and especially the poem
"Weathercocks," and the original serial
story, a chapter of which is read each
evening. These gatherings are produc-
tive of much pleasure and amusement
combined with instruction, and serve to
promote friendships which materially
smooth the rugged path of life. The
Sociables are held every alternate
Wednesday evening, at the places des-
ignated at the Sunday evening services.

Too MUCH VoTING. The pen of a
sprightly lady writer furnishes O recent
number of the Nep Northwest with the
following conclusion to sensible arti-
icle on this subject: We are thoroughly
convinced that we have too much vot-
ing, and that twice the number of bal.
lots would increase the evil; but we
have too much ignorant and unprinci-
pied voting. Sex we consider the sill
Hest qualification that could possibly
have been thought of, and were it, in
stead, intelligence and moral character,
just as many women as men would be
found exercising the rights of citizen
ship-and we are not certain but there
would be more. Dear ladies', were
these the qualifications, then we would
all vote. Let man be as low, vile
and ignorant as may be, and his sex
alone will enfranchise him. Let O
woman be as wise as Solomon, and as
good and pure as an angel, and the un-
important matter of sex will disqualify
her. Yet it cannot be that sex either
fits or units one from casting vote,
for without certain amount of intel
lectuality, neither man nor n woman
can cast ballot intelligently, and none
but the good will do it conscientious

Loss OF THE BARK FLoRENcE.-It ap-
pears that the chapter of ship-wrecks
and disasters at sea is still incomplete
and we are in constant receipt of intel
ligence, which portrays in vivid colors
the dangers of the deep. The last of
these is On account of the loss of the
bark Florence, dated on the 23d ult.,
published in the Portland papers.
Daniel Deary the only one saved, makes
the statement that on Tuesday, Nov.
10th the vessel encountered a heavy
southeast gale and commenced leaking.
Part of the deck load was thrown off,
when all hands were called to the pumps
as there was nine feet of water in the
hold. At 3 A. NJ. Wednesday, the
Captain ordered the boat got ready, as
the vessel was sinking. The sea was
breaking over her, so it was impossible
to get anything forward of the main
mast. The boat was launched with
great difficulty. At 3r. M, land was
sighted, but the sea being too rough
they put about again. On Thursday
morning the crew requested the Cap
tain to land, as they had no water or
provisions. The Captain said it was
impossible to make landing but would
take his chances with the rest, and
steered for the breakers. The boat
was capsized and all the men thrown
out. Deary swan back and hung on
the painter of the boat and was washed
ashore. The rest were all drowned.
Deary was picked up by Indians and
kindly treated. The vessel drifted
ashore during the night with every
thing gone but the mizzen-mast. The
crew consisted of Capt. A. A. Dayton,
First Mate Anderson, Second Mate
Carey, seamen, Welch, Malcolm Grant,
VIM. Duncan, Mcpherson, q Norwe-
gian from Tacoma, name unknown,
and Chinese cook. The vessel foun-
dered 40 or so miles off the Umpqua
Bar and drifted rs miles to Northward.
Search is being made for the bodies of
the crew. The Florence was on a trip
to San Francisco, laden with lumber
for Mastic & Co.

(Reporicd for the DispatchJ
WAsnISGroN COUNTY, June II, 1873.
The commencement exercises OF this in-
stitution came of yesterday. The skies were
propitious. the crowd was great, the music
good, the speaking creditable. The exercises
were conducted under tent, which, with
its glare and heat. was uncomfortable. There
were eleven graduates. The scientific medal
was awarded Dir. w. Il. Lambeth, OF Sbang-
hafS China; the Robertson prize medal for
oratory TO X. J. Craig, Of Pulaski, Tenn.
The most enjoyable part Of the entertain
ment to the thinking portion Of the audience
was the address Of Bishop D. S. Doggett be-
fore the literary societies. His subject was,
1.-The Claims Of the Supernatural for Scien-
tifc Con, Iteration" His thoughts were
deep too deep for many of the audience),
his style clear. his delivery admirable. He
uttered manly protest against the arrogant
assumptions OF the high priests of material
ism, and showed conclusively by series OF
contrasts between the natural and super
natural that the latter has as much, il not
more, right to be found on the curriculum OF
the student Of science as the former. His
eulogy of the Bible as the textbook of the
supernatural was very fine. II all the scho-
lars in our land would take such bigh ground
as Bishop Doggett the Influence OF the intidel
science of the day would soon be broken.
