NORTH JUpsoN CouRrER.-This is the
name of small "patent-outside" sheet,
published at North Judson, Indiana, by
Lewis S. Boynton, formerly of this
place. As its editor is undergraduate
of the Puget Sound Courier and the
Farmer offices, that fact will probably
account for the evident desire to per-
petuate the race Of Couriers, as well as
the independence in style, photography
and syntax, manifested by the new
for popular favor. Whilein
this Territory, Mr.. Boynton's genius
never had free scope to expand and
make itself known; in fact, through
jealousy, envy, or some other antagon-
istic prompting, his associates were con-
placing stumbling blocks in his
way, and ridiculing the ambition which
in another cline has. placed him in the
van of his former confreres. What a
rush there will be for the old Hoosier
State, when it is known that Lewis s.
Boynton has scaled, OF one leap, the PIN
nacle of fame within its borders!

The sum of 5,271 has been appro-
priated for the repair of the Capitol at
Olympia. The building originally cost
$1,000. The proper expenditure of
this sum will put the present building
in good condition for the approaching
session of the Legislature. This appro-
priation was stricken out in the Senate,
but I had it reinstated by the Com
mittee of Conference.

THE RIGHT OF WAY BILL.

uhEa1, cIAoNAItON VI BUSINESS.
I am sorry to hear that many OF our
people are disheartened at the dullness
of the times in the Territory. If they
were here, they would be much more
dissatisfied. Times are very hard here,
all branches OF business are paralyzed
and thousands are dependent on the

THE rrMBER-LAND AND MUD-fTAT BILLS.
We did not succeed in getting the
House Bill, providing for the sale Of
non-agriculturnl Understands, through
the Senate. This bill contemplated the
sale in limited quantities Of timber
lands, not adapted to agriculture. Had
it became law, 1t would have saved
trespass on the lands of the United
States and have enabled poor men to
log on their own lands. The Mud
Flat Bills were not reached on the CAL
endar, and the excitement over Arkan-
sas, Mississippi and Louisiana, pre-
vented us from getting them up.

the amount provided for BY the Act OF

Cold WEATHER IN WISCONSIN. -In the
middle of February snow covered the
ground at Calumet, Wisconsin, to the
depth of seven feet. The thermometer
had ranged during the fifty days pre-
vious to that date, at from fifteen to for
ty degrees below zero. The people
were obliged to tunnel" their way
from their houses, and remove the snow
from the windows to allow the light to
enter. In many parts of the State
sledges were drawn over the bridge of
snow from four to six feet above the
surface Of the ground. The people
donned several suits of heavy clothing
whenever they ventured cut from their
homes, yet Notwithstanding this precau-
ton, several were frozen to death.

against loss by fire, would do we'll to

Parker, Esq, representing as they do
the oldest and soundest companies

ers were trembling and PROSTATE by the
great confagration of the past few years.
1t is. universally conceded to be the
part of wisdom to insure destructible
property against loss, and the question
of insurance is therefore narrowed down
to choice between companies. The
Imperial, the Commercial Union, the
North British and Mercantile and the
London & Liverpool & Globe, repre-
sent a guild whose strength is practi-
cally unlimited. Mr.. Parker also in

being detained by snow stage to PORT

by the Canadian Government to make a
collection of our minerals. cereals,
woods. plants. and other of the products
for which British Columbia is famous,
and which are to be forwarded Tor ex-
hibition at the forthcoming Centennial
of the United States to be held at Phil
sdelphia next year. It is Intended that
British Columbia's contribution shall
be worthy of rising Province OF Can
ada. and Mr.. Richardson will be glad of
the assistance and suggestions of the
general public and particularly those
desirous of seeing the Province hold a
good place among the exhibitions of the
greatest nations of the world. Mr..
Richardson has had large experience
in the forming of collections for the
several Universal Exhibitions in the
capitals of Europe. It is owing to him
that Canada made so complete 8 show

n Last Monday Mr.. Fine, q team.
ster of this place, had narrow escape
from injury. perhaps death. While
driving oyer Swantown bridge with
large wagon load of wood, one of the
stringers gave way, and section of the
planaing fell, leaving the wagon balan-
ced on a few planks and the horses
standing just beyond the brink. The
driver cut the tugs, as he expected the
wagon to fall at any instant. and the
team escaped injury. The broak has
since been repaired, at q cost of perhaps
fifty dollars: the accident was caused
by the bolt-head of an iron rod used
in the framing to support the lower
stringer pulling through the rotten
wood. As there are other bolts liable
to do the same thing at any time. the
safety of the travelling public demands
that thorough inspection and repair
of the bridges on both sides of town
should be Immediately made.-Courier.
