KARL STEINBORN, whose name has been
printed Steinberg, returned to this city last
Saturday, having been released from arrest at
Oregon City, He says, and makes showing
to that effect, that he is innocent in the mat
ter charged against him, and the charge and
arrest has done him unjust injury. He claims
it was all mistake; that he wrote to the
woman, whose money he had, on the day he
went away, telling her of his expected absence
and when he would return, which letter she
did not receive until after his arrest. As be-
tween the parties most concerned the matter
has been amicably settled, and Mr.. Steinborn
wishes to be set right before the public, con-
corning this affair, the unfortunate turn of
which he does not consider himself to be
blamed for.

VANCOUVER, Jan. 81, 1878.
To the officers and members of the Ladies'
Guild of st. Luke's Parish:
have to-day the pleasure of placing be-
fore you my second quarterly report as your
Secretary. During the quarter closing to-
day, we have held fifteen meetings, nine
special and six regular meetings. Six of the
special and two of the regular meetings have
been occupied in Guild work, in the getting
ready for the Apron Festival held on the
I'd of November, and in the making aprons
and other articles that have been ordered
since; and in this connection 1 would say
that very much of our success has been due
to the efficient management of Mrs. G. H.
Whitney, Chairman of the Executive COM
mittee, in carrying on this part of the work.
Two of our regular and one of our special
meetings have been devoted to hospital work,
in making quilts ready that were sent to the
Good Samaritan Hospital in box contain
ing canned fruits, jellies, and other comforts
for the sick, at Christmas time.
At one of our regular and one of our spec
ial meetings, we have received one dollar for
our services; one of our special meetings was
devoted to charitable work and one of our
regular meetings; that held on the Sd of
January was devoted to business.
The following is a statement of the money
that have received during the quarter, and
paid to the Treasurer:

to do, but that he would give him $4,000 for the
hides of 5000 lizards, and gave his noe for that
amount Forst, with his wife and five children,
