From the Daily OF "Wednesday.
BURGLARY. Last night, the Mer-
chants Exchange Saloon. on Mill
street, kept by Rigby & Feeney, was
entered by burglars, who succeeded
in getting away with quite an
amount OF COIL. They are supposed
to have entered the saloon through
q barber shop which occupies the
front of the building, the door of
which was opened by means of a
false key. After taking all the mon
ey in the drawer, some SIG, they
took the key hanging behind the
bar, opened a small compartment ID
the rear and broke open a couple OF
trunks belonging to Mr.. Righy,
wdich were stored there for safe
keeping. From these they succeed
ed in obtaining some $50 in silver
and fine gold watch which cost
$50, leaving a silver watch and o
ouantity of fractional currency and
scrip. which was also in the trunk.
No liquor or cigars were taken. al
though there might have been with
out being missed. The back door
was found open this morning. show
ing that they had left that way. A
light was seen in the saloon after it
was closed up by some passers-by,
but nothing was thought Of it'at the
time.
DRUNK.-An unfortunate chap,
who had been engaged in wrestle
with the festive benzine, found 1t
too much for him last evening, and
retired to rest on the cold bosom OF
the sidewalk in front Of Pinkham a
Saxe's store. His repose was rude
lv interrupted by Officer Wright,
who conducted him to the hotel IN
the rear. He expressed himself as
very penitent this morning, and
was released by Justice Scott on the
payment of the costs and promise
to Ego and sin no more.
LEcTURE.-The lecture of Hon.
Francis Henry, of Olympia. this
evening, promises to be the most
enjoyable event of the season. 1t
is described to US by a gentleman
who heard it as being one of the
richest things he ever listened to
and fully equal to Mark Twain's
best. Mr.. Henry has the assistance
of Mr.. r. G. O'Brien. the best tenor
singer in the Territory. who viii
sing several new songs by Mr.. Hen
nv. entitled. "Old Settler" New
Conner" and "Alki."
We may expect another invoice CT
tramps, vags, bummers and thieves
from Victoria shortly as the author
tiles of that burg are inviting all the
crooked ones to take an early de-
parture, which polite invitation they
will probably accept. It seems to
us that our stock on hand IS fully
equal to the demand, in fact, some
what in excess of it, and though We
are always in favor of any immigra-
ton scheme, this is hardly the class
of citizens we desire TO see rein
forced.
Palouse Gazette: Mr.. 1. G. Mathe-

Geo. McGann. to Walla Walla after
some shrubbery. AS McGann did
not return ct the expected time Mr..
Mathew started to Walla Wall after
him. and found that the scoundrel
had sold the team and left for parts
unknown. Thos. Tierney was the
unlucky purchaser. The victims
divided the loss between them, and
Mr.. Matheny returned home with
the team.
Mr.. WOODBRIDGE GEARY Of Eu-

DISAPPOINTMENT the list of

Francisco, we see the name of DR..
Matthew Hale Smith, the eloquent
lestul er, who was expected to lec~
