- III l--N' '''''IH i A''a 's
7 took occasion Yesterday to
visit the Hospital for the Insane Of
Washington Tcrritorv,situated about
a mile and oue-hali from this place,
being the old military post of Fort
Stcilacoom. \ marked contrast it
presents, with hits weather-worn fences
and dilapidated houses, to the trim
and brilliant garb it wore when last
l crossed its parade ground, in 1868,
when the gallant 4th Infantry was
stationed there, with Col. Casey as
commander.
Then a Federal Band at eve and morn,
With measure light and uimhle.
The echOes woke with flute and horn,
And lively clash OF cymbal.
Now it looks dreary enpugh, l assure
you. The institution has Just passed
into the hands of the Trustees of the
Hospital, appointed under the Act of
1875, and has been taken charge of
by Dr.Sparling, late of the U.S.Army,
who seems to be making every effort
to renovate and in some measure re-
store the ancient beauty Of the place,
although not much can be done with
the limited appropriation made for
that purpose. While there l visited
the several wards, and viewed the
patients. There are two wards for
the men, each presided over by two
keepers, which to me seems made
quate, considering the violent mania
occasionally exhibited by some of
the unfortunates. The women's de-
partment is in charge of a very intel
ligent matron, who has (alone for the
most part) to manage and control its
inmates, whom pity be it spoken
are not always disposed to be peace
able. There is room in the women's
building for two wards, and certainly
should be two, and the matron should
have an assistant in my humble judg-
ment; but, alas for the rarity of
Christian charity" under the sun, the
appropriation for that purpose will
not be large enough.
1t does seem to me that the econ
omy which in any manner denies any
possible alleviation or comfort to the
luck ess individuals devoid of reason,
is, to say the least, a false economy,
and a shame to our people. The
Territorial Legislature, at the last
session, made an earnest endeavor to
form a system for its proper govern
ment, and we may hope that the
work so fairly begun will be carried
on. G&ACCHUs.

The State election in Maine will
take place on the second Monday in
this month. This election is import
ant, as being the first in the North
ern States following the Presidential
nominations, and politicians will
await its issue with considerable
anxiety, for the indications it will
afford of the tendency of popular
opinion. Whichever way it may Q o
the fact will be hailed as an aurnry
of no light significance of the ma
tional success of the party triumph

New DUNGENEss, Aug. ~, 1876.
Ed. ARGUs:-We have had small
gold excitement down here. An In
dian reported having found large
piece of gold at the head of Dunge-
ness river, thus stirring up the feel
ings of our people which resulted in
Messrs. Pitcher, Hyde and Smith
starting on prospecting tour to the
mountains. They did not follow the
river but made for the mountains
through the woods. This they found
to be hard work on account of the
fallen timber and thick underground
of brush. When they reached the
mountains the sides were so steep
that it was with difficulty any pro-
gress could be made; when they sat
down to rest they would commence
sliding back. On their way up they
noticed four trees standing in row
about 20 yards apart and when they
reached the butt of the fourth tree
they we're standing on a level with
the top of the first.
After travelling some time they
again struck the river where it forks,
one of the forks coming through a
narrow defle in the mountains;
across this they felled a tree on
which they crossed, with the water
some hundreds of feet below them,
and one mis-step would have sent
them to eternity. Keeping to the
right fork of the river they came to
where the mountains framed back
bone where they walked in single
file and by looking on either side
they could see a volume of water
rushing along beneath them. This,
they thought-not being lovers of
nature in its bolder forms-was too
much of good thing, so they start
ed for home. During their stay on
the mountain water became SO
scarce that they had to take ad-
vantage of shower of rain to shake
the drops off the bushes into a pan,
with which they made their flap
jacks. They did not prospect any,
although they brought back some
specimens of petrifed shells and
a kind of ore which, when burned,
looks very much like copper; kind
of red marble is also found in the
range close to the snow. l was
shown some gold dust that came from
a creek close to the same range.
But one shipment of grain has
gone to Victoria from this place
as yet, though all are busy harvest
ing.
The blight has touched the potato
crop around Port Angeles.
A hard frost on the night of the
23d of this month nipped some of the
! potatoes around this village. G.
