From The Daily Of Wednesday.
ExHUMATIoN.-Afe few days since 6
sick man arrived at Victoria from
Puget Sound and was taken to one
of the hospitals for treatment
Shortly afterwards he died, and the
body being prepared for burial was
inferred at the cemetery. When his
friends came to examine deceased {
effects they found that a sum o1
money, which he was known to have
in his possession the day before
death, was missing. Search and in.
Quiry failed to discover the missing
sum, and as last resort it was de-
cided to exhume the remains. This
being done, and the coffin opened,
the missing money (nearly all in
silver was found in the pockets OF
the pantaloons in which the corpse
was dressed for the grave, the pres
ence of the coin having been over
looked by those who laid out the
body.
The steamer Nellie, which has
been laid up for repairs during the
past week, this morning at z o'clock
got up steam and started for Sno-
homish. When rounding Sandy
Point it was discovered that her
pumps were choked, and she imme-
diately put back 70 this place. She
was heavily freighted for the up-riv-
or logging camps, and also carried
a considerable quantity of treasure
for the same source. We under
stand from passenger that within
three weeks over sixty thousand dol
lars will be taken to the various
camps ON that river, which amount
when distributed among the lumber
men will make things very lively for
q time.
APPRsc1ATED.-That the farmers
of King county fully appreciate the
advantages of the Plummsr prosess
of preparing fruits and vegetables
for market, is evinced from the
number of persons who call at the
Occidental to inspect the samples
thore shown; also by the number of
orders for machines taken by Mr..
Plummer since his arrival in this
city. The most profitable is the
preparing of potatoes for market by
this process. Instead of shipping
to San Francisco at low rates and
paying commissions for selling, the
farmers can realize 81 her bushel on
their potatoes by preparing them on
their farms for the European market
by this process.
foF,iA LIABLE GR1sT M1LL.-Just the
thing for small isolated community
is the Sunny South Portable Grist
Mill. One may be seen at the store
of Wusthoff & Wald. in this city,
of four horse power, capable of con-
verting 10 to II bushel per hour of
wheat into fine -four. 1t can be run
either by steam, water, or horse pow
er. The burr is an Is inch French
burr. This mill, which can easi-
ly supply small neighborhood with
-four and feed, can be had for about
S21O.
A PRIVATE letter from Iowa bear
ing date of Nov. Goth says Thanks
giving was about the coolest day of
1877. A furious Northwestern was
raging. A strange contrast with
that reports this beautiful December
day, with sunshine overhead and
beautiful flowers and grass under
meath. Some flowers were picked
in the open air this morning by Mrs.
B. Brown and sent to this Office.
The collection includes beautiful
rose, pansies, and mignonette.
some of our bucolic exchanges
appear to be doing things on the
hlaf-shell, at present for some unex-
planned reason. No less than three
of them East Oregonidn, Day
ton Ne,cs and Walla Walla Watchnaaa
have come to hand printed on half
sheets. AS they are all "patent out
Sides" it might be well for them to
consolidate and try to get out an
original paper-say for the next
Centennial.
Rev. THOMAS GUARD, one Of the
finest speakers in the United States,
begins a course of lectures in the
Taylor street NJ. E. Church in Port

DR.. Guard be secured if possible, for

Nelson & Perkins will put on new
