Rather BAuGe.


One of the citizens of Danbury who
had Just returned from the West was
telling Of narrow escape he had from a
terrible death. He was. crossing long
railroad bridge on foot when he was sur
prised to see locomotive coming around
u curve and tearing toward him at a ter
rife speed. The bridge was too narrow
to allow of escape at either side and he
did not dare to jump into the yawning
abyss below. In flash he took in the
situation and formed his plan of action.
He started on a swift run toward the on
coming locomotive, and when within q
few feet of it lie concentrated all his
nerve and muscle into one effort and
lcaped straight up into the air. The
fearful monster shot under him, and he
came down ON the bridge, saved from
death, but seriously shaken by the de-
scent. There was moment Of deep
silence upon the close Of this narration.
Then one of the company sighed, and
shut up his knife, and Unexpectedly said {:
whats the use Of presence of mind
when man can lie like that?'

R'Myall'ip Valley.


This beautiful aud fertile valley is
situated about eleven miles back Of New
Tacoma. AS we reached the brow of a
long, winding hill, which commanded a
view of this lovely place, we paused I;
charmed with the iieanty Of tho scnnnry
before US. A bold, sweeping outline of
distant hills, here and there swelling
into mountains, and crowned with
deeper, mister blue, divided the rich
green of the earth from the azure of the
heavens Far as the eye could reach it
lehell the widest luXuriance Of nature,
refined and subdued by the hand of cul-
tivation and taste. The farmers have
turned their attention principally to the
cultivation of hops for the last few years.
We can not think OF any thing more
beautiufthan those immense Hop Yards
are, just before they commence the pick
ing. Last season there was between five
and six hundred Cinnamon and Indians
employed in gathering in the harvest
Owing to the low figures that hops are
selling for, some have invested in hun
dreds of plum trees expecting in few
years to see them paying from two dol
lars to two tifty per tree, as they intend
to turn their attention to drying them
Tor the market. This Spring road was
surveyed through the valley, and the
prospect of having railroad built as far
as the coal mines. this Summer, is very
encouraging. When we were there last,
the Surveyor General had completed his
task, and men and implimcnts had ar
rived for the purpose of commencing
work out at the coal mines Coal in
great quantities has been discovered in
that section Of the country. 1t has been
tested, and pronounced superior quail
ity by competent judges. The timber in
the valley is hard wood chiefly; the soil
rich, and very productive, grain, vegeta-
bles and small fruits. have been success
fully cultivated. II they succeed in get
ting u railroad this Summer we think
the valley will improve very rapidly.
The people as ciasa, are well educated
and industrious. There are five schools
in the valley, and We believe they arc all
well supported. At the Lyceum they
have q small but well selected Library
They have also quite q collection Of
Geological specimens. The Society

A woman Of the strong.minded sort
arrived here yesterday on the Idaho
stage. She took position in the pas
senger depot, protected on one side by a
revolver and on the other by ilat-iron,
and thus defended, awaited the arrival OF

announced the coming Of the cars, she
took the revolver in one hand, walked
up to the ticket office, purchased her

FIRE. About o'clock on the night
of the 30th inst. most of the town was
awakened by the ringing of the church
bells, and on looking out saw the heay-
ems lit up with the .lurid glare OF large
fire. The scene of the contlagraton was
the old =" Collar and Elbow Saloon in
the Seattle Lava Beds. An inccndiary
undoubtedly had SET the place ON fire,
and it and the two buildings adjoining
were soon @ mass of smouldering ruins,
ashes and cinders. Though the wind
carried the sparks directly over the bu-
sness portion Of the town. no other
buildings were iguited, and Seattle es-
capped very narrowly what at one time
threatened to be most sweeping visit
of destruction. No attempt was made
to extipguish the fire in the burning
buildings, as it would have been utterly
futile; but hundreds of men stood by
with ladders, buckets and axes, to keep
it from spreading to the buildings near
by. The buildings were unoccupied
save by one man as u lodging place, and
being flmsy structures in an undesirable
portion ofthe town, the entire loss would
not exceed in amount Tribune.

suddenly turned to him and declared.

and given, Mr.. Lee posted to the place.
when he at once perceived that the plant
was new in this part of the world. lie
saw and admired. Entering the house,
he said
My good woman, this is nice plant,
should like to buy it,
"Ah, sir, / could not sell it for any
money, for it was brought me from the
West Indies by my husband, who has
now left again, aud must keep it for
his sake
But must have it,
g" No, sir !"
"Hcre," emptying his pockets "hcre
is gold, silver, copper, (nis stock was
something more than eight guineas),"
"Well.a.day, but this is power of
money, sure and surf" "
"'Tis yours and the plant is mine;
and, my good dame, you shall have one
of the first young ones rear, to keep for
your husbands sake

to pull of and Ittcrly destroy every YES
tige of blossom and blossom m-bud, 1t was
divided into cuttings, which were forced
into bark beds and hot-bcds. Every
effort WAS used to multiply the plant.
BY the commencement Of the next flow

pJssrssor of three hundred tuchSu plants
all giving promise Of blossoms. The
two which opened first were removed
into his show-house. A lady came;
