SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Mr. Hathaway
of the Legislative Council, gives us
some of the particulars of difficulty
which occurred at Union Ridge, in
Clarke county, on the 31st ult., be.
tween Andrew Laws, of this county,
and a man named Shintaffer. It ap-
pears that q dispute arose between
Laws and the father of Shintaffer
with reference to lease of some land
occupied by the latter, when the son
interfered and during the alteration
received . pistol shot in the arm.
He will probably recover. Laws,
when arrested, was On his way 70

PoTTERY.-Messrs. Billings & Co.
have just commenced a new branch
of industry, in the building corner
Of Main and Ninth Streets, formerly
occupied as a cooper shop. 1t is
the manufacture of earthern-ware
utensils-such as fower-pots, bowls,
jugs, and every article for which
there is demand that may be made
Of potter's clay-which will engage
their attention soon as arrange
ments are completed. This enter
prise should receive the most cor
dial support OF the public, as it is
by just such beginnings in untrod-
den paths that we may hope to find
the highway to prosperity.

BE keps under tia, plan for the
nuwlxr q guards - neee~=&rIly
rreassr than ~iIl =, required where
they are all brought under one man
agement. Besides, Mr.. Billings IN
tends to employ the conviets At some
useful labor, and this has enabled
him TO submit the minimum cost
for keeping and maintenance. The
principal points of the proposition,
which were embodied in a bill that
but awaits executive approval to be-
come a law, were: LIST, That the
Territory should contract with him
for the keeping of all convicts for
the term of six years, at the rate OF
20 cents per day for each person in
custody; I'd, That the contractor
should be allowed the sum of $500
annually for transporting prisoners
to the Penitentiary, which he pro-
poses to erect at his own expense, on
q site near Tumwater, where water
power may be obtained for diving
the machinery o. the workshops
contemplated under his plan; Sd,
The contractor obligates himself to
sell the works SO erected, at an ap-
praised valuation, at the expiration
of the lease, If the Territory deems
it advisable to purchase the same.
IL is thought that under this system
the Territory will save not less than
than $12, 0C0 dining the term Of the
lease, and that the Institution will
then be self-supporting. while those
inmat<s whose terms have expired
will be instructed in mode of OBJ
tanning an honest livelihood by means
of the trades acquired during their
term of Imprisonment.
These are the essential provisions
of the new system, aud Mr.. Billings,
with characteristic energy, proposes
Immediately to select q site and be-
gin the erection of the necessary
buildings to carry it into effect.
There can be but little doubt
that the change will result in local
benefit. as the trades inaugurated
viii not be likely to conflict with ex-
listing enterprises, and the annual
expenditures for subsist' nee will
add no small item to our local trade.

16-page weekly, printed in old-style
type (which somehow is imagined to
convey an impression of heraldic or
iyin), and is edited by j. NJ. Bassett,
who appears we'll qualified for the
task before him. It claims to fill an
unoccupied space in the field of
Pacific Coast journalism--an elevat-
ed plateau, unswept by the chilling
fogs of partisan bitterness, and above
and beyond the bites and blights of
gall-dipped pens guided by unscru-
pulous hands," This sentence very
fairly indicates the height a; which

that it may not come down like a

The first number of the Albany
(Ogp. Observer exhibits good taste
in devoting its leading article to Pu-
get Sound. A filter theme for an
initial essay of live newspaper could
not have been selected, and we hope
it may live to supplement it with
many kind expressions regarding our
embryo State. Daily and weekly ed
itions are issued by the publishers,
Messrs. Cartwright & Steele.
Last, but not least, comes the San
tartan, the organ of the Medico-Le-
gal Society of New York, devoted to
the preservation of health, and men
tai and physical culture. 1t is a
monthly magazine of practical knowl-
edge, and indeed, a manual of sci
ence applied to everyday life. It is
not, however, a new publication, be-
ing in its fifth volume, but like the
product of tho vine, it appears to have
gained body and sparkle from age.

WILD FLOWERS OF AMERICA
ILLUSTRATIONS By ISAAC SPRAGtE.
TEXT Bi PROF. GEORGE l.. GOOpALE.
Part H., qIfdrt0, - 20.

Mr.. Sprague i one OF the most truthful delin
Gators of flowers OF any country. and chrome
lithOgraChy has IN the present Instance wei fen'
resented his work. THIS specimen number Is the
first publication Ia this country, 50 lar as We
know, which gives an idea OF what lOwer-Pa n o..
ing ought 10 be. Two OF the plates, representing
our Wild cOlumbine and cTanesbil, are antlcpa-
tions of spi ing; the other two, the wavy lcavcd
aster and pair Of gerardias, are "reminiscences
ofautumn. The letter press Is by Professor Goot
ale OF Harvard University, and consists Of more
insere ting and curious matters than Is usual M
publications OF this sort The Nation.
Mr. lsaac spargue, who has drawn these now
ers, is without a superior IN the country a. DO
tanical artist The pictures are absolutely correct
In the delineation of the organs and IN the tone of
color The process OF photography has been mar.
yelOusly successful, and We suspect that in spots
The plates have been touched by hand 10 make
them iaultless. The delicate shading Of color, as,
IN the scarlet and gold OF the columbine, Is very
successful. In fact those luscious hectares al
most tempt one to try to pluck them and bite OF
the honey and make whistles OF them, as children
used To do on the Plymouth rock two hundred
wears ago. =. The accompanying text Is by
Professor Goodale, OF CambI idge, and Is admira-
BILE. The description of the plants is not too
technical to be ineligible by any one, and it is
prepared evidently by one who knows what the
flowers have to teach. The adaptations of sta
men, pistil and corolla TO Fertilization by insect
agency are admirably described, often IN the Ian
guage OF the ablest foreign students Of vegetable
physiology.-N. l. Independent.
