June Goth. 1873,

DEAR IELLER:-The question is
asked: "Will Congress admit Washing.
ton as State including within it, bound,
aries the Northern counties of Idaho?."
The frequent efforts made by the people
OF North Idaho to be united with Wash
ington have Been we'll represented in
Congress, and that body is fully appris-
ed of the wish Of the people in that re-
speet. The recent petition Of 1868 of
her citizens has been before the com
mittee on territories, coeyal with this
was the bill for an enabling act for
Washington to become State including
North Idaho. Both we've we'll discussed
before theIcommittee on territories, and
the expression of the opinion of nearly
all the members of the committee, was
that it was not good policy to disturb
the boundaries of these territories, till
such time as they are arranged for the
formation of the Stat, of Washington
But that so soon as Washington desires
and has the requisites for State gov.
ernment, there will be no valid objection
to induce within tire boundaries of the
new State so much of the northern coun-
ties of Idaho as embraced population
whose geographical position, affinity OF
social and commercial interest, would
make that people homogeneous with the
people of Washington, and subseryc the

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

William Dodsworth Seriously. If not Fatally,
Injured by the Explosion OF Giant Powder
Caps.
Mr.. William Dodsworth met with IA
terrible accident during the forenoon
of last Saturday, and one which may
prove fatal. He was at work in the
"McGuinness" claim, on the west side
of Gold Hill. and while raising the
top of a car it slipped from his hands
and struck some giant powder caps.
which he had in his pants pockets, as
it fell, exploding them. No bones
were broken, but the muscles were
torn from the upper portion of his left
thigh, creating terrible wound that
may prove fatal. Those who have
witnessed the explosion of giant pow
der caps can but wonder that the leg
was not blown entirely of. Drs.
Dausman & Berger were summoned,
and are doing all that can be done for
the unfortunate man, who has been
taken TO the Warm Springs, where,
under the care of his wife, and Mr.
and Mrs. Cooper, be will receive the
best of care.
Mr.. Dodsworth had put the caps in
his pocket week or two before the
accident while doing some blasting,
and neglected to take th,m out. PEI.
sons should be very careful in hand
ling such explosives, and should never
carry them in their pockets, as many
do. Take warning from this serions
accident. Many explosions of them
have occurred that cannot be account
ed for.

Quartz on Henry Creek.

Messrs. Green Martin and Sam. Hal.
lett are still at work on their ledge
on Henry creek. In running for the
pay chute they had proceeded but a
short distance with their tunnel when
they struck bulge in the ledge and
found it to be rich twenty feet below
the surface. Only small prospect
was found in the groupings. The
rock taken from the bottom of the
tunnel is much richer than that taken
from the upper portion. In one place
the vein is three or four feet wide.
The boys are pushing the tunnel ahead
to tap the pay chute.

THE SCHOOL CONCERT.

The school concert on last Friday
evening, at the Theatre, drew out a
large audience. Nearly every seat
was filed, Notwithstanding a large
number of miners had commenced
work and were unable to attend.
When the curtain arose the school
sang couple of songs, after which
the evenings entertainment was d.
versifed with dialogues, recitations,
music, &c. To make separate men
ton, and do justice to each pupil,
would consume too much space; they
all did well. Everybody seemed to
enjoy the exercises, and the pupils
frequently met with hearty applause.
This entertainment was the last of a
series gotten up by the teachers of
the public school for the purpose of
increasing the library, which is now
the most valuable in the Territory.
Mr.. Rothwell and his assist, Miss FL
la Halpin deserve a great deal of cred
it for their diligent work in preparing
the pupils for these exhibitions, which
has all been. done outside of school
hours. After the exercises were
closed, the following prizes were
awarded to the highest in each branch
at the examination, which was held a
few days ago. Five judges were APP.

W0MAN's REVENGE.
The Length to which Passion Drives


might do worse than turn their atten
ton to the fact dwindling Maoris 81
New Zealand, judging by al, incident
OF domestic life among these people
that has just been published. The
names and dates have been withheld
but the story is vouched for, aud Is a
remarkable instance of what q woman
will do for love and the revenge she
VIII take on those who thwartit. The
peculiar sanctity held by his followers
to attach to Maori chief is well
known; and the fact that he can taboo
a total prohibition of intercourse
WITH or make sacred anything he
touches has also been told us in a
dozen volumes. 1t SO happened that
a Rangatira chief fen in love with a
handsome girl of his people, who
loved an humber admirer.
Ia vain the girl and her lover pro-
tested; and, without giving them long
to indulge in their useless efforts, the
chief settled the matter, and the girl
became his. What made the matter
worse was that by his peculiar power
OF taboo he could, as it were, shut out
his rival forever. Against any ordi-
nary foe the young lover would have
fought on, hoping for death or some
other cutting of the knot. But against
the chief he was powerless. No Ma.
orr dare defy the supposed sacred at
tributes of their leaders, and the
young fellow gave up the girl in des-
pair, when once the taboo had made
her the chiefs forever.
But now comes the dramatic eli.
max of the episode. The girl waits,
and does nothing desperate so long as
there is yet chance for the lover
whose love she returned. But no
sooner has he sulenly retired from the
struggle, hopeless and broken-hearted, |
than she resolves OH the hideous re.
Venge. To kill the chief would have
been of little use, for she would have
been tabooed still, and no one would
have dared to marry her. But she
can at least infict lifelong revenge
upon the chief who had taken her from
ler love and this she proceeds to ac-
;ompllsh in a horrible ingenius way.
Stealing away one night from her
odge, she made her way to the hut of
Ieprous bag living, Stunned by the
ribe, on the outskirts of the village.
Ne are told that she not only stayed |.
With the diseased woman for a time
'ut to ensure still more certainty of
Ter revenge, dra' k the old hag's
'lood. Need we add that when she
eturned TO her lord and master it was
ot as the handsome girl she set out, ,
ut as a loathsome lcper, to be life. I
ong burden curse and an object OIL!
isgust TO him.
Such is the story, which, for the ter. !
ible intensity OF the passion for re- &
enge shown by the heroine. has
robably been rarely surpassed. One 1
an better understand, after reading !
!, how it was the last war in New !
