"'SNAIL BRIGADE" zee One OF the
best things we have heard lately is
on painless pu- ishment devised
by Mr.. Ingraham, of the Unicn
School for the punishment. 1t con-
sists of marching the tardy children
about the room to slow music played
by one of the lady teachers on an
organ. The other day, lame boy
was hurried off to school by his
mother, who said there goes the
BELL" He vent off about his business
but returned IN few minutes and
threw his books on a table with o
sulky growl. George, why didn't
you go to school?" asked the moth
er. "Humph |! Think I wanted to
march around that room with the
Thnail Briga6e?" grumbled young
America. "Snail Brigade, what's
that?" asked the mother. "Why,
when feller cometh late the teacher
maketh him march twithe around
fthe room to the Dead March in
Thaul and they call Fem the Thnail
Brigade"
SMALL Pox.---In addition to the
boy Davis, we learn that L., s. Low
ell, who has been canvassing for
sewing machines about here, was
taken with a mild form of varioloid
on Monday night. He was at once
elected from his boarding house and
wandered about the streets, trying
to get into the pest-house till it came
time for the Aida to leave for New
Tacoma, when he got aboard and
went to that place. He put up at
Halstead's hotel and, as soon as his
malsdy was known. he had the whole
house to himself He was since re-
moved to pest-hOuse iu Commence
ment Bay and all is tranquil.
SEATTLEITEs ABRoAD.-We received
a letter yesterday from gentleman
who formerly resided here, but now
stopping in San Francisco. in which
he mentors having met S. P. War
rem, the levanting banker, on Clay
street day or two previous.
Stephen Warren, formerly compos-
itcr in this office, is working on one
of the Oakland dailies; and Austin
Bell, also Of the DISPATCH, is fore
man of a job Office in Oakland.
George Moore, the photographer,
has fine gallery at the same place
and is doing a good business.
SMALL Pox.-We heard on Mon
day of case of smallpox near the
Jail, but omitted to say anything
about it, in the hope that it would
turn out to be something else. 1t
seems to be the genuine article,
however. The patient is boy
named Davis, aged II years. He
has been removed to safe quarters
and every precaution taken to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. For
that reason there is no good cause
for alarm.
The CAssIAR MINEs.-So far from
''petering out" altogether, the Cas-
star mines only appear to attract
more travel than ever. The English
steamer Maude was the first of the
season to leave Victoria, under COM
mand of Capt. Dan Morrison with
81 steerage and "A cabin passengers;
the California about 60 and the
Grappler about 40. So we should
Judge that the travel was fairly open
for the season.
PERSONAL. - Leigh r. Freeman,
editor of the Ogden Freeman, called
on US yesterday morning Hill
Harmon, of Steilacoom. dropped in
on us with ''smile that was child
like and bland" :. . After him camo
Philip Ritz, of Walla Walla and Ned
Skies, reported killed at the Ashta-
bula railroad accident. He is GER
tainly healthy corpse:
BOUND DOvER.-The man Mcclure,
from Snohomish county, who shot at
Mr.. Matt Keith in front of his sa-
loon, last Tuesday afternoon, was
examined before Justice Selye and
held to answer before the next Grand
Jury in the sum of 81 900. He will
send to Snohomish for bail to-day
and will doubtless be able to furnish
the requisite bail.
SEABEcK.---Ihis place keeps going
steadily along, without making any
fuss about it. Last Saturday the
bark General Cobb sailed from that
place for San Francisco and on Mon
day the bark Oregon arrived there
and will begin loading,
