FROM WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
We received a letter recently from
our friend Capt. Atkins, who is located
near Dayton, W. 7. Tie Capt. says of
the Indian troubles:
Our big scare occurred on the after
noon and evening of June 20. That
day might have been seen all my neigh
bors, with one exception, piling into
wagons, or some on horses and some on
foot, and all making good fair speed to
Dayton. Some took their valuables
with them and some buried them in
the ground. Farther away or rather
in the background, might have been
seen several families hiding away in
the wheat fields and out Of the way
places on the prairie and not !. hostile
Indian within II hundred miles. A few
of the neigl'bors called in to see what
intended to do, but 1 steadfastly hoed
in the garden all day, not believing
more than half that / heard. l don't
claim more courage than other men,
but l have seen too much service under
Old Tecumseh Sherman to lie easily
stampeded.
Since the above was received, II. D.
Humiston has had a letter stating that
a minor arrival, a daughter, has glad
dened the Captains household. Also
that our friend J. J. Stage, of Walla
Walla, has had an arrival of a fine boy
at his house. Their friends here wish
them much joy.
According to the Sioux City Journal
there has been an interesting case of
Free Love" in that city. A few days
ago NJ. Rambach, of Sioux City, went
to the train to meet his wife. AS she
got off, she was followed by E. E. Blake,
OF lie Mars, with whom, it seems, she
had been Oh a ''Free Love'' expedition
to Yankton. Rambach proceeded to
whip Blake. and has taken steps to Sc
cure 4 divorce from his wife. the
Journal says:
The LOthari0 in this romance is E.
E: Blake, of lie Mars, clerk of the courts
of Plymouth county. He is man
who, so far us public report goes, has
not been given to illicit amours; but he
makes up now in quality whatever he
has lacked in quantity. He has Il fine
family.
s"The yield of wheat in Minnesota is
said to be much less, now that the har-
vest results of each county have been
heard from, than had been steadfast1y
reported. All things considered. it is
now thought the state will have onlv
fifteen million bushels to sell.'
The above clipped from The st. LOU
is Republican, is 4 fair sample of the
malicious ISLANDERS of Minnesota which
appear from day to day in tile columns
of that journal. Ofcourse the Republi-
can writer knew, if he had taken any
trouble to inform himself, that the re-
suits of the harvest in Minnesota we're
not disappointing. buu that, on the con-
trary, the yield both in quantity and
quality, by far exceeds the widest an
ticipations of the most sanguine, and
that instead of ''only about fifteen mil
lion bushels" the surplus of the state
will be nearly or quite double that a.

TWO MORE MOONS,

1WO mOxtE MOONS.
The scientific world is just now de-
lighted over new astronomical dis
>covery. About the middle of August,
Prof. Asaph Hall, Of the United States
Naval Observatory, discovered that
ttaae planet Mars had two moons. AS
Mars is only about ne-eighth the size
~6f'the Earth, her moons would natur-
:ally be small, and the larger one is said
ito be only about one hundred miles in
-diameter. These twin babies of Moth
.er Mars are not allowed TO venture far
:away, and are distant from their par
.ent only about one-sixteenth as far as
tour moon is from Mother Earth. The
probability is that these little fellows
will never be allowed to venture out
for themselves but will always have to
play in the .door-yard and he held by
their mothers apron strings.
Mars is just now near the earth. and
hence astronomers are enabled to Oh
serve the planet closely. They have
heretofore mapped out its continents,
oceans, etc., almost as accurately as
those on our own planet and some of
the continents have been named for the
astronomers who discovered them.
Next thing, we suppose. will be the
discovery Of what kind of people inhab-
ut. Mars was named from the God
Of War, and fts nearness to the earth.
We suppose astrologers will tell us, has
something to do with the war in Eu.

LIVE STOCK
The Window correspondent of the
Jackson Republic says:
The assessment rolls of this county
show that we have 2, 2,l65 milk cows, and
DINER cattle to the number of 2,473.
Not large number, still enough to
beat the Mobiles county showing in the
last ADVANCE. Let US hear from
jackson and then see il the high moral
ISN'T in the rear. If we of jackson aud
cottonwood had a little of the blood
:?h0se fellows possess we would make a
Dettor showing than we now do, even
II we told the whole truth and nothing
more.
The object Of our statement was to
show the number of COWS and of cattle
owned by each farmer, giving the name
OF the farmer and the township. This
We did as far AZ we could ascertain.
We stated that the list was only ap-
proximately correct and we estimated
the number in the county at about s.
600 head Of cattle and 1900 to 1890
COWS. Since this we have had access
to the completed assessment roll of tile
county and find the number Of live
stock returned to be as follows:

GOOD TIMES


The Toledo Blade, a few days ago,
had crop reports from Ohio, Michigan
aud Indiana, showing a bountiful yield
and brisk revival of business. The
Blade says:
The outlook is exceedingly fattering.
From all sides comes the report that
trade is reviving and that the prospects
are excellent for a good fall business.
The farmers are generally prosperous,
mostly out Of debt, and those who have
old accounts standing against them
will be enabled, by the abundance of
tho crops, to fully liquidate all indebt-
edness and start off on the year 1873
with clean balance sheet.
This is true also of Minnesota, only
that farmers will not be able to pay all
debts out of this crop. However, they
will pay a good part. and start the new
year with renewed hope and energy.

A Forgcd Letter of Restoration.

Washington, May 23.-Several days
ago q, letter was received by the Presi-
dent, purporting to be from J. r. Lew
is, Chief Justice of Washington Terri
tory, resigning that position, and con-
cluding with the remark that ION re-
tiring to private life, he was in full ac-
cord with the reconciliation policy OF
the President. Not suspecting the
grnuineness of the letter, the President,
yesterday, appointed Associate Justice
Green to fill the vacancy, supposed to
be occasioned by the alleged resigna-
tion. This morning information was
received from Judge Lewis and others,
by telegraph, pronouncing the letter q
forgery. Senator Mitchell represented
these facts to the President who there.
upon reversed his action of yesterday,
thus continuing Judge Lewis in office.
A similar fraud was practiced six OF
seven year ago, while Judge Lewis was
chief justice of Idaho. A forged let,
ter of resignation having been received
by the President, a successor was ap.
pointed and confirmed by the senate,
before he had an opportunity to defeat
the fraud.

THE WHEAT CROP IN EUROPE.

The present prospects Of the wheat
crop in Europe are of an encouraging
nature. This crop that at one time
promised to be failure, has improved
in its appearance greatly, and the
damage that was thought to have been
done to this important staple of food,
by the frosts and blight, is not appa-
rent, and thereat there is great rejoic-
ing among those who foresaw the effect
that a general failure of the wheat
crop would produce. The prospects of
this crop being good one in France
and England especially, is giving great
satisfaction. Owing to this fact, there
will, therefore, in all probability, be no
increase just at present, at least, in its
value abroad, or with us here at home.
OF course political complications or
adverse weather would speedily coun-
teract all this, but the outlook is a
promising one for the reverse of this
state of affairs. On the whole the
people of Europe feel more at ease,
hhoWliS tiiS W pe lile Cast, anu liieIl
fears of famine in the event of a
general European war, is somewhat
allayed. We are glad that the out
look regarding this crop is of an en-
couraging character, for it did appear
but a short time ago from the tone of
the doleful cablegrams that came to us
from the other side, in reference to this
article of food, as if it would be only a
question of time-perhaps limited to
weeks-before this dire scourge would
be abroad in the land, that enemy of
mankind, if anything, more cruel than
war in any of it's more attrocious forms.

SOMEBODY is trying to make the au-
thorities at Washington believe that
Germany has designs of a Napoleonic
nature on Mexico. The baseless foun-
dation upon which he has managed to
build this canard, lies in the fact that
the Germans as class, in Mexico, are
treated with far greater courtesy and
attention than the Americans. We
would rise to explain this decided
preference, but we won't under exist
ing circumstances. The Americans
in Mexico could very easily tell you
why the Germans are more popular as
a class in their midst. Politics has
nothing to do with it whatever.
