THE CAssANDRA ADAMS. This
fine big bark arrived eG San Fran
cisco on Friday Of last week and, as
long as gram freight to the United
Kingdom continue at present figures,
she will be kept in the lumber trade.
As yet she has not developed any
great speed, but she has been oblig-
ed to contend with adverse winds on
every voyage. She is about thirty
tons larger than the Western Shore
and much squarer-rigged; that is to
say, her lower yards are longer and
she spreads at least 125 yards more
of ordinary working canvass. When
the Spring comes and the northwest
erly winds become regularity, we
are of the belief that the Cassandra
Adams will make a trip between
Cape Flattery and Point Bonita that
will make all our old salts open their
eyes with astonishment.
SAD ACCIDENT "A distressing ac-
cident occurred near Chehalis sta
ton on the Northern Pacific rail-
road. last Saturday. A man nameG
J. H. Long was piling up logs in his
clearing and had his team hitched

frightened at something and turned
so suddenly around as to roll the log
against Mr.. Long. knocking him
down and crushing his ankle. The
injured man suffers terribly. though
DR.. Morgan hopes for his recovery.

the White House dry goods store.
Messrs. Schlnssel & Kant, are box

lieve that they will do good busi-
ness there, for their urbanity and
fairness of dealing will guarantee
them a goodly share Of patronage
wherever they cast their fortunes.
PANoRAMA.-T That beautiful little

of Portland. That gentleman will
exhibit his panorama entitled 'Won-
derland" at Yesler's Hall this eve

the brush as with the pen, his pan
Drama is well worth seeing.
