SNAIL PoX.-This disease has
broken out in Portland at last; and
unless we exercise some vigilance
over steamers arriving from Victoria,
we are liable to have it here. We
cannot be too guarded at such times.

lessness ofsomepeople with firearms
almost transcends belief. We saw
bungling fellow throw down his
gun in a boat, on Coos Bay, last
winter and blow the whole bottom
out of the craft, He was rescued in
a drowning condition. Gov. Ferry's
son shot off one of his fingers last
Friday by negligence in alighting
from a horse. And on Saturday last
Cornelius Dinann, a farmer on White
river, came to town to procure
gun to shoot some bears, and being
anovice in such matters, put in an
over charge. In discharging the
gun shortly afterwara itburst, blow
ing his left hand almost to pieces,
when it was found that an amputa
ton of the hand was absolutely nee
essary. The operation was immedi-
ately performed by DR.. Weed.
A FIzzLE.-The two apologis.s
spoke their little pieces last night at
Yesler's Hall, ,-Hanford and Inman.
The former failed to convince people
that his opposition to the Walla
Walla railroad, was the result of
disinterested patriotism; while the
Arkansaw traveller fliled to appear
and make a few credulous people
believe he didn't know that lotteries
were gambling-but the dear peeps
wouldn't have itv'
