SALE OF THE MARKET LEASE. On
Wednesday last, the 2nd inst, Town
Treasurer Yicknair offered for sale at
the door of the Court House, the
lease of the Market House for 1873.
The bidders were Messrs. G.. Seifried,
S. H. St. Martin aud Jos. Burbridge.
The latter started the bidding at
5000, which was the figure he had
fixed upon for a limit. Messrs. St.
Martin and Seifried believed the fran
chise to be worth a considerably
greater sum, however, and raising
each others bids until SI236 was
reached, when Mr.. st. Martin retired
from the contest and the lease was
adiudieated to Mr.. Seifried at that
figure. Last year the price paid was
$3.50, but the lessee AYERS that he
made no money by the investment,
which partly accounts for the smaller
figure obtained this year. Another
circumstance tending to produce this
result is, that the new license ordin-
ance leyies fixed yearly tax of $40
upon vendors of milk, whereas the
market lessee has had the privilege
heretofore of exacting five cents per
diem from each individual pursuing
that occupation.

The business of the money order
department of the DOnaldsonville
post Office has increased materially
under the administration of Mr.
Wilkinson, and has assumed a magni-
tude that will surprise most of our
readers. During the three months
ending September 30, 1877, the total
amount of money transmitted by
means of postal orders was $14,021.-
35 and during the following quarter,
ending on the 3lst December, the
amount was increased to $19, ,2e0 65,
making a total of S33 1902 for the six
months. The number of orders issued
in the first quarter was 573; in the
second, US; total, 1349, showing an
average of $24 20 per order. The
largest amount passing through the
money order department during any
quarter of the term of Mr.. Wilkinson's
predecessor was only slightly in ex-
cess of $1,000.

Gone to ConnniIle.

We are infarn.ei that Assistant Enci-
neer Bolton, with party of men from Port
land, have gone to Coos Bay for the purpose
of making survey of that h;lrbor to ascer-
tain the extent OF improvements needed and
the probable cost of them. After this is fin
ished they will also make a survey of the
entrance to the Coquille river. Although a
government survey signifies but little. we
sincerely hope that the next Congress viii
make appropriations for the much needed
Improvements. At the Coquille some
work has been done by private subscription;
and a small appropriation to extend and ren.
der it more substantial, would make navi-
CATION easy and safe. We have not learned
that Mr. Bolton intends making survey
of Rogue river, between it's mouth and
Scottsburg. This urvey is the result of
bill introduced in the Senate by Senator
Mitchell.

his failure to make good Ills promise, the
plaintiff AYERS that she has been greatly
he sufferer, and asks judgment in the
sum above named. The case will ceme up
for trial at the next term of court.

An Accident.

On Saturday last, while a twelve
year old son Of Mr.. R. Flournoy was on
a wagon, assisting his father in hauling grain,
the team started to run away. The father
commanded his son to jump of, and in at
tempting to do SO the lad fell in front of the
wagon, and both wheels passed over the left
side of his body from hip to shoulder. DR..
Cozad was summoned and found that the
boy was badly hurt, the most serious injury
being the result of kick which he received
on the back of his head. At last accounts
the little sufferer was in a fair way of re-
coyery.
