UNRECoRDED PATENTs.-There are
large number of donation and other
land claims for which patents have
been issued to the owners, but not been
placed by them on the county records.
TIC such we would say. that whilst the
non-recording of their patents may
not invalidate them, so far as the gov
eminent or any adverse claimant is
concerned. yet it is highly important
not only to them. but also to all their
grantees and all who hold title under
them, that their patents should appear
on the county records, since otherwise
it is impossible to make out complete
and clear strain of title to any piece of
land to which title has been 80 derived
No one should purchase any piece OF
real estate originally conveyed by U.
4. patent, unless the patent to the orig
inal claim appears on the county real
estate record, as a great deal of confu-
sion and Inconvenience is certain to
arise unless this precaution is attended
to before it becomes too late.

GOVERNOR FERRY.-The Washing

GOVERNOR FERRY.-The Washing
ton Territory papers are loud in their
praises Of Governor Ferry. lie has
been a resident &c - Territory for ten
years, va. appointed Governor about
1--WE years ago. and is now IN his
second term. All agree that his popu-
larity has increased from the time of
his appointment. which proves that his
administration has been satisfactory.
During his term there have been seve-
raj sessions of the Territorial Legisls-
ture. from each Of which he has been
the recipient Of complimentary indorse-
ments. Governor Ferry had been long
enough on the Pacific coast before his
appointment TO become identified with
the people and TO learn their various
wants and whenever his presence
has been needed, or could in any way
assist the people, he has been found at
the place where his services could be
rendered. During the Indian outbreak
last summer he promptly visited the
exposed settlements. not only In his
Territory, but those Of Northern Idaho
as well, giving words of encouragement
and all the aid in his power. He was
all the Governor North Idaho knew
anything about or had anything to hope
from; and for his services and good
will in a trying hour he has won the
esteem nd.gratitude of all the people
Of Idaho; as we'll as those OF Washing.

NEWCASTLE MATTERS }irs. j. Jen-
kins met with a serious accident on
Wednesday evening by fal. down a
pair of steps at the front door of her
house, breaking her leg at the knee
and below il, making compound frac
ture. The limb was successfully set by
DR.. Bryant, who is good physician
and the Newcastle people are fortunate
In securing his services. "A gentle
man from Newcastle informs US that if
q certain lady or woman don't stop
whipping her children so brutality,
q Complaint will be entered not by him
alone, but by score of other residents
of Newcastle. Mr.. j. Kincade com
menced teaching the district school
last week, and has about As scholars in
attendance. He will start an evening
school for adults, commencing next
week. We hear q good report from
his day school. i. j.. The coal company
have their bunkers completed for screen
ings alone. which will hold about
six hundred tons. They will en-
large their other bunkers for coarse
coal, making them of donble the
present capacity. They will build
during tho coming season a store, hotel
and ware house down near the new
railroad, east of the bunkers. and on
nice, level, piece of land. The gentle
manly Roach and affable Flanagan can
always be found looking after the COM
pany's interests. Mr.. Downs and fam
ily have charge of the eating depart
ment, and they give good satisfaction
and we are justified in saying the COM
pany are fortunate in having that de-
partment in 80 competent a charge.
From tunnel number four the com-
pany are bringing out some of the fin
cot coal yet shipped. This tunnel runs
in ABOUT ffty feet below the other three
tunnels, and in about $50 feet The
seam is Ave feet thick, and no waste.
From this tunnel alone through to Coal
Creek, on estimated quantity of half
million tons of coal can DO mined. The
company has another seam neatly ten
feet thick from which they arc now
taking the largest portion of their ship
ments -. Mr.. Alexander. with his
gang are doing some substantial side
track laying at the mines also putting
in switches that will facilitate the dis
patch of cars greatly.

an alteration arose In saloon on

The ball struck the injured party on
the hand. whence it glanced and passed
through his coat above the shoulder.
Mclaughlin very discreetly took the
law of the case into his own hands,
and to avoid arrest stood not " on the
order of his going, but went at once. "
lie has not been seen or heard of since.

SAN FRANcIsco, March 4.-A cores
p6hdent Of California Associated Press,
who has ascended the Sacramento River
10 Monroeville, 100 miles above Sacra-
mento City, telegraphs that for the entire
distance the 4 country presents the ap.
pearance Of a continuous sea. On both
sides Of the river not 5000 acres Of land,
along the river for the whole distance,
have escaped the flood. The river ia now
falling rapidly and yast tracts Of wheat
land Is making its appearance, much Of
which may be saved, II drying north
winds follow. There are about twenty.
five breaks in the leyees.
DR.. Glenn, large farmer IN Coluso
county, lost 10000 sheep and G000 acres
by the flood. The main wheat lands OF
Colnsa county are five miles from the
river and are safe, About 10 per cent ot
the wheat crop Of that county Is ruined.
The loss between Sacramento and Mon:

Annual Report Of the PennsyI.
Yaufa RniIPOnu,

PHILADELPHIA, March 4.-The 3lSl
annual report OF the Directors OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad will be published
tomorrow. II shows the earnings Of the
main line for the past year, SIS, ,9S3, ,456i
total expenses, SIC, ,75l, ,lSs; net earnings
s., ,232, ,3iS. Summary Of lines directly
operated East and West Of Pittsburgh
Gross earnings on all lines from traffic
S54, ,159, ,720; gross expenses, excluding
rentals, interest, dividends, &C., $34 ,022,- :
800; net earnings, $50, ,l37, 800.
Abiding to the plans adopted by the
trunk lines 10 secure more reasonable
remuneration, the report says it Is hoped
that the experience OF the trunk lines
will satisfy their Western connections
that the only true remedy for the present
difficulty 10 10 adopt system on East
bound traffic similar to that prevailing
on west bound traffic out Of New York.
There is no practical difficulty in fixing
upon the proportions OF the competitive
traffic TO which each Of the lines may be
entitled from several important trade
centres OF the west. Should that system
be accomplished all east bound shippers
will be placed on an entire equality,
determinations avoided and the business
OF the country conducted on regular
basis much, iairer TO all interests than
the system heretofore pursued.
The loss by the stoppage oil traffic incl
dent to the railroad war was 81 600 900,
and like amount covers the loss on
stock and merchandise from the same
cause. A suit has been instituted to re-.
cover this amount. tits proposed 10 ap.
propriate 100000 per month for pur-
chasing bonds or shares OF other COM
panies which are guaranteed by the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company, and pow.
eriul argument ia presented in support OF
the plan.
