A CARD

TO ALL THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBED AID FOR
REMOVING THE SKAGIT RIVER JAM.
I desire to correcr certain false insinua
tions, rejecting upon my homes ty, that ap-
peared i'll recent number of the ''DaiIy
Intelligencer." Having resided long
time adjacent to the Skagit river settle
ment, where all my interests are centered,
and being actuated by generous desire to
assist my neighbors to prosper and to rem
der whatever enterprislng aid l could to
open up our section of the country to set
tlement, meeting some of the party 1T Seat
tie, l volunteered to visit some of the
towns on the Sound to solicit what aid l
could for the benefit of those men who vol
UNFAIRLY undertook to cut out the jams in
the Skagit river. The first donations I re-
ceived, consisting OF money, tools, clothing
and provisions, l turned over to them in
Seattle as soon as received them, they be-
ing highly pleased with this unexpected
gratuity. Continuing my canvass about
two weeks longer, much to the neglect of
my own business at home, and deflaying
most of my travelling expenses out Of my
own money, I returned home, when was
taken down with a cold which soon settled
into pleurisy, confining me to my house for
over two weeks, during which time that
unjust and malicious rumor was started.
AS quick as I was able to go about again l
called urOn one Of the party and gave him
all the funds, remaining in my possession,
that had pl ocured since my former pay
ment, receiving their receipt in full, re-
lieving me from any and all liabilities to
them. VIM. B. MOORE.

''Hoseatte is small harbor situated
about fifteen miles from Tatoosh light
house, at the mouth of tho straits of
Juan De Fuca. Tatoosh lighthouse is
built upon small Island just outside of
Cape Flattery. Around this place, in
the winter season. fogs and mists al
most continually settle during the day
time, and are blown away by the winds
at night, so that it usually presents a
gray and sombre aspect. The cold, dull
looking cliffs and crags jutting out oc-
casionally; and the everlasting snow
capped mountains revealing their hoary
heads in the distance and looking down
in silent majesty; the sullen roar of old
oceans surf, combine to give it a sol--
emnlty which IS truly sublime.
Travelling along the shore in south
erly direction toward Hoseatte. the cliffs
become more bold and forbldding- the
shore having been lashed. by the fnry

these p"riods. the noise OF the surf

A FLoURIsHING INSURANCE COMPANY
This is the title to the following editorial
article from the Liverpool Courier of the
Gath ultimo:
"There was quite jubilant tone at the
forty-frst annual meeting OF the Liverpool
and London aud Globe Insurance Com
pany, held yesterday, under the presidency
of Mr.. Joseph Hubback. The accounts
produced showed the company to be in
very flourishing condition." second to
none in the world" to quote Mr. Bigham,
who, however, would have been better
satisfied If the directors had advised q
greater dividend. The balance left to the
credit OF the profit and loss account OF the
year is G77,295, and Mr.. Hubback remarked
that with this amount undivided, the re-
serve fund at million sterling, and the in
vested funds at nearly five millions and q
quarter, the proprietors must all feel that
the ground they stand on is, as far as human
ken can divine, satisfactory and solid. The
dividend declared was S.. per share for the
year and bonus of As. SHARE"
The proceedings OF the annual meeting OF
the company are published in another part
OF the same paper, and the statements OF
the directors fully sustain the claim OF the
company that it is the strongest and most
flourising institution of its kind in the
world. Its great success in the United
States is largely due to its moderate rates
and to the prompt and liberal settlement OF
losses.

A SKILFUL AND SUCCESSFUL EXPREsS-Ror-
BERY.-Pittsburgh, March IA we'll
planned and skilfully-eXecuted eXpess-rob-
berry was perpetrated in this city last night.
Superintendent Bingham, of the express
company, gives the following particulars
this evening: Yesterday afternoon when
the Buffalo express south reached Brady's
bend q telegram was handed Thomas Bing-
ham, express messenger, which instructed
him to transfer his packages to J. Fl. Brooks,
ut Templeton, and return to Parker's Land
ing and await orders. This was dated Pitts
burg, and signed George Bingham, super
intendent. Templeton is small station on
the Allegheny Valley railroad fifty miles
from this city. The Buffalo express south
and train going north meet there and stop
for supper. On the arrival Of the train at
Templeton man stepped into the express
car and told Messenger Bingham he was Or
dered to relieve him and take his run to Pitt. {.
burgh. Mr.. Bingham asked him for his in
structions, and he produced telegram ad-
dressed to J. III. Brooks, instructing Brooks
to relieve Bingham at Templcton, and bring
the express matter to Pittsburgh. This was
also signed George Bingham, superint
ent. Bingham, after the transfer to Brooks,
took the north train to Parker's, and Brooks
came to the city in charge Of the express
car. At the depot in this city his goods
were checked off correctly, and he got in
the wagon with the driver to deliver the
goods and report at the general office, on
Fifth avenue. The robbery was committed
in the wagon between the depot and the
office. He jumped from the wagon, unno-
ticed by the driver, when less than half n
square from the Office. The safe was found
open and money-packages amounting to
$4,000 missing when delivered at the
Office. -." ..s .
Brooks cut the railroad telegraph-wire
this side of Templetou, drew the wire into
a watch-house, and there with pocket-in-
strument he sent the bogus messages which
operated so successfully.

natured man, and genial recipient OF the
shocks and adversities Of fortune, was never
better represented here. The scene in
which Micawber gets tipsy and attempts to
reply to toast to himself and wife was ex-
cellently natural. The pla7ing throughout
was good and spirited, and the actors were
rewarded by hearing from the audience ire.

Of characters. .s sE
Lemons Is a three-act comedy, written
with French regard to unity-that is, taking
place in one room at three several hours OF
the day-in which every scene and passage
is mirthful, and which winds up in per-
feet carnival OF delicious perplexities and
entanglements, circling round a most natu-
raj misunderstanding.
The episodes for good acting and by-play
with which the play is said to abound, and
which add 80 much to It's strength in the
hands OF good actors, will no doubt be tho
roughly utilized by the Fifth-Avenue Com
pany, and render its presentation highly
successful here.
