we made mention that Donald Coutts es-
capped from the jail, and that he would
be re-taken 1t soon proved itself. Sheriff
Thomas learning, last Friday, that Donald
was making his way afoot over the Linkton
road into Grand Ronde valley, sent de-
tective Justice in his pursuit who succeeded
in finding his man some distance beyond
Summerville, while erGeavoring to procure
something to eat. On Tuesday Donald was
again safely lodged in his old quarters, and
if IS pounds OF shackies viii Prevent him
from climbing the jail fence, he is not likely
to get out soon. Sheriff Thomas is entitled
to Q,u5h credit for his efficiency; he has now
been Sheriff for near three years and has not
lost single prisoner in that time which
under some of oar former Sherilis was COM

money, and has en- article TO sell, he tells
the people of it He does not put his
goods in a room and shut the door so that
nobody can see what the room contains
and what business the man follows. If he
is really desirous of making money, he
places some OF his goods on the outside
of the store to attract the attention of
passers by, and that people can see them,

RETURSsD.-Deputy Sheriff j. B. Thomp-
son returned ON Wednesday from Steil-
accom-, where he delivered Thomas Bullock,
an insane person. Mr. Thompson reports
that under the new regime the asylum
is kept in much better condition. Every
thing he saw there indicated to him that
the trustees appreciated the high duties de-
volving upon them, by alleviating the suf
ferings of the unfortunate inmates as much
as lays in their power. The patients now
receive proper treatment, under the care of
DR. Willard, a very respectable and efficient
physician, who is anxious to fully discharge
the duties of his responsible position. Mr..
Thompson reports that James Atchison, an
iamate from this county, is slowly but surely
recovering his reason, and that Eliza Ann
Pitcher, also from this county, sent there in
1863, is now in 4 condition to be taken to
comfortable home.

MAJOR TRDfBLE, commanding company
"H lst cavalry, and one of the gallant
officers who has been IN every 6ght with
Joseph and his confederate bands, was at
Walla Walla in the early part of the week
Major Trimble is now attached to General
Wheaton's command, and has already gone
to rejoin his company. Major Trimble in
forms us that the division under Wheaton
numbers four hundred fighting men, with
the usual number of citizen employees. This
command is intended to march through the
Spokane country, and generally by their pres
ence hold IN check the Indians who might
otherwise 90 upon the war path. 1t was
originally intended that General WheatOn's
division should support Gen. Howards COM
mand, but the two divisions are so widely
separated that to all practical purposes they
are independent commands. Gen. Howard
at the time he took up the line Of march had
with him Scompanies Of infantry, ! of artille-
~ and of cavalry. His total command,
numbered 600 men, exclusive of citizens en-
ployeeS, the total swelling his division to a
good sized army. Referring to the Clear
water battle, Major Trimble informed us that
the Indians crossed the stream in the face Of
steady fire from the troops, and with gait
ling guns and howitzers raining steady
stream of balls right in the face of the red
devils. He says that no white men would
have undertaken as desperate feat, and
cites it as an evidence of Indian bravery.

award in the executive department of Mary
land, at Annapolis, with the opinion of
the arbitrators and maps of the boundary

and is signed by Judge Black, of Pennsyl

latter does not affect the result, the two
States having agreed by statute 10 ABIDE
the concurriug decisions of any two OF the
