A dwelling and kitchen, lately occupied BY O.
W. Armsworthy, In the section Of our Town
known a. ''the Orchard, /" and belonging 70 Mrs.
Susan MADDOX, was totally destroyed by fire on
Sunday last. Two negro children, one Eve years
old aud the other six months, were fastened up
in the kitchen and were burnt up. The dwell
ling at the time was unoccuPied, but the kitchen
was rented By JaIia Ann SCriber, the mother ofthe
unfortunate children The woman, careless Of
her children, as is prOverbial with her color,
about II o'clock in the day put in an old dilapi-
dated stove q stick Of wood, which was too long
and jutted out over the floor. II il supposed
that this falling on the floor, after being loosen
ed BY the burning Of the part in the stove, ORR
ginated the fire. At the time the FIRE was dis
covered, the whole kitchen was in flames, aud
too late to rescue the children, and moreover,
strange-to say, the door had been locked by the
mother when leaving. The FIRE apparatus Ofthe
Town was on hand, but owing to there being nc
regular organization ola fire company, IL could
not be made available. We think that had there
been prompt and judicious management, the
dwelling, at least, might have been saved. We
can see the urgent necessity Of such an organi.
cation, and our young men should take steps "a
fern one. Every property-holder would sub
scribe to put such an organization in aconditior
to be useful in such emergencies. The dwelling
was in very good repair and the destruction o.
il is loss to Mrs. Maddox 0f about 81, 900.

CALLING N THE GUSs.-About three

of thirty one scholars, which is a pretty
large school when you remember that
every one Of the pupils are compelled
to go from one to four miles in boat OF

presents the appearance of diminu

rive, and looks quite deserted when
the scholars take their departure when

TERRITORIAL PENITENTIARY.

TERRITORIAL PENITENTIARY. -
There are at present about twenty
prisoners in the penitentiary at Seatco.
Contractor Billings will go east of the
mountains soon. visiting the various
counties, for the purpose of bringing
to the penitentiary such Territorial con-
vlcts as may be secured there. Five
competent guards have been secured.
and every precautlon taken 10 prevent
escape from the new institution. Mr..
Billings expects to have some sixty or
seventy ooarders after gathering them
all In. he can very comfortably pro-
vide for one hundred These convicts
will be put at various employments.
AS there Is fine water power near the
enclosure. it is the;intention of the con-
tractor to open up large manufactur-
ing establishment, where the prisoners
will have chance to exercise their
ingenuity aud skill in the manufacture
of various useful articles. The extern
slve Seatco coal mine, which is being
opened at present by coal miners, will
eventually be worked by convict labor.
BY this contract the prisoners will be
better cared for than they possibly
could be IN our various county jails, be-
sides the saving to the Territory will
aggregate a very large sum IN the
course of few years. AS soon as the
case between Sheriff Wyckoff and the
contractor, now before the Court at
Steilacoom, is settled, we expect the
remaining three convicts in the Jail
here will be removed 10 the new quar-
tiers az Seatco.

committing an assault aud battery
upon Jane Berry and also to the charge
of stealing a pistol from the same
party. He was fined fifteen dollars and
costs in the petty larceny case. and five
dollars and costs in the assault case,
making his little picnic cost him al.
together forty one dollars and eighty
cents. He was taken TO Jail, but stated

\ SCALY TRICK-The young man
Tate. known in Portland as Charles
BrakendOrf, but whose real name is
Archy Holmes. who has been winnino
many lanrelS in tie foot racing arena
Of the Pacific coast, attempted TO skip
cut Of this city into British Column bia.
Sunday evening, without settling his
board bill at the Occidental. where he
was owing some twelve dollars. He
managed to get his baggage out Of the
house withou. the knowledge of the
proprietor and transferred it on board
the Annie Stewart, bound for Port
Townsend. He then went to bed. think
ing he had played it pretty fine. As
1t happened Constable Thornton was
going to Port Townsend on the same
boat TO serve a writ upon the Sheriff Of
Jefferson county, and the proper person
here told him about the Tate affair and
to look out for him. The officer
soon found him in bed, and told him
his mission. Tate told him that be did
not intend to pay the bill, as he disired
to beat the id house as he had the
rest Of the town. The constable told
him unless be paid before the boat
passed Port Gamble he would make it
cost him much more than twelve dol
lars. After considerable psrlying he
produced very large sack of coin and
reluctantly pungled over the desired
amount. We are sorry to be called
upon to chronicle these facts in regard
to the young man, as he had very
prepossessing appearance, and pleasant
address, and almost the last person any
one would put up for blk; but such
he has certainly proven himself in the
minds of the people here.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-A gentleman
from the country was riding through
the streets last Sunday, he was accost-
ed by an Indian who took his horse by
the bride bits aud refused to let the
stranger proceed on his journey. declar-
ing that the man had stolen and was
riding his horse. The man persisted
that he did not have the Indians horse
and desired to be allowed TO proceed,
but all to no avail. The "pow WOW"
soon had the effect Of bringing the Off
GERS to the scene, when both man and
Indian commenced each to tell his own
story. Both parties proceeded to Justice
Snyder's office where the examination
of the affair was to take place. The
Indian went out to get some witnesses
aud during his absence found his horse
tied just where he had left it on Occi-
dental Square. The horse belonging TO the
farmer somewhat resembled the Indians
cayuse Mr.. Indian came back, and III
broken English explained that hs had
been mistaken. and that he had taken
the horse on which the farmer was
riding for the one which he had brought
to town that morning The friends of
the ruralist wanted him to prosecute
the Indian for an assault. but he said
he did not have the time nor money to
spare, and as he had lost nothing but n
little time, he would let the matter
drop, aud proceeded on his journey
meditating on the fact that it is very
easy for an Indian to be mistaken.
