DEATH OF o. r. eERRiSH.

The telegraph brings Is the SD news
of the death Of one of our old and most
highly respected citizens, Oliver r.
Gerrisb. Of Port Townsend. who died At
Victoria, October Sd. of Brigbt's dis
ease Of the kidneys.
The deceased was about 20 years OF
age, . native of Boston. where he re-
ceived . good education. and at man
hood married and engaged in business.
About 20 years ago he removed to this
Territory and soon after engaged in
trade at Port Townsend, where he has
resided continuously since. In all his
relations to the community. both public
and private. no man in this Territory
commanded in . greater degree the
confidence and esteem of his fellows
His heart and hand we're ever open TO
every generous deed and charitable OBJ
iect. His house was ever the home OF
hospitality, and all that be bad was at
the service Of his friends in their time
of need. To strict business habits he
united the best social qualities and q
liberal public spirit. His death creates
q void in society which it will be diff
cult to fill. He lies shrouded in the
affections of oil who knew him.
Funeral ct Port Townsend on Satnr-

vey oil who wish to attend from here.

SLAUGHTER, W. T., Oct. 2. 1873.
Ed. INTELLIoExcER:-I have been
waiting for sometime to see In some pa
per protest again.t giving Moses. the
Columbia river chief, the large reservs-
ton he asks for, which will not only
include some of the most desirable
farming land on the Columbia and
tributaries but also some very rich
mineral country. which when properly
developed will yield a revenue equal to
any mining district on the coast. This
mineral country will eventually be
prospected and sooner or later will cause
trouble, for where there is gold or sill
yer known or supposed to be, there
will the miner 60, whether the land is
set apart for an Indian reservation or
not, (notice for instance the Black Hills
country.) unless some provision is made
to avoid it.
Let the people know through the
columns OF your paper the exact limit
OF the land grant asked for by Moses so
that people may Judge for tbems Ives
whether the gift Of so much land will
be Judicious or not. Please make-you
own comments on the subject.
SAMUEL GRAHAM.
We cannot inform our readers of the
exact limits of this land asked for BY
Moses and conceded by Gen. Howard,
but can say in general terms, that it is
an amount that the Government cannot
grant without fragrant injustice to this
Territory and outrage to the white set
tiers of that region. We do not object
to giving every Indian family home-
stead upon the public domain on the
same terms they are granted to the
whites; but large Indian reservations
in the neighborhool of white settle.
ments are of no use to the Indians and
are curse to the whole surrounding
country. Forming new reservations
and extending reservations over white
settlements, is among the greatest
wrongs of . system OF Indian policy
which has always been as bad IS it
could be made.

Boston Post.l
Victor Emmanuels fondness for
women has been proverbial. Of
late years he had lived with a NOR
ganatic wife, the Countess Mirafore,
to whom he was deeply attached,
and who bore ham three children.
The gossips tell a very pretty story
about this lady's career. Rosa Yer
c~ellana, they say, was a suffers
daughter and a Yiyandier during
the campaign of lS4S. She was
beautiful and had many admirers,
and was also, in spite of her short
trocks and canteen, a young wo-
man of exemplary character. The
Duke Of Savoy saw her, loved her
and lowered around her canteen.
He lost sight of her, but after the
death of his wife sought her out
and made her his companion. 1t was
not until 1873 that he was finally
married to her in spite OF the protes-
tations of Prince Humbert. The
Countess of Mirafore (the title was
created by the kiug) died only a
few months ago, and it is thought
that that event fastened his death.
1t was a popularity of his that he
selected his female companions
from the most unintellectual cir

I has been often said that it was diff
icult to find out whether it was for
the sake Of shooting game or Of
pursuing these girls that the king
so often absented himself from
court. The fact is all the more
striking as Victor Emmanuel was
naturally one of the proudest and
haughtiest ~soyereigns living, and,
at the same time, one of the best
educated, having been brought mp
by the Jesuits, and having spent in
reading a considerable portion of
the long years during which he re-
NAMED heir apparent.

A DOUBLE CRIME.
Emma Moore steals q Sum OF Money
and Sets Fire to a Dwelling
Her Arrest and
Confession.

Late yesterday Mrs. Mevilar who, with
her husband, lives on Main street, made
complaint to Chief of Police Athy that
some one had entered her residence and
stolen $3.50 or more and then set FIRE to
the building. Chief Athy at once made
inquiry into the matter, which was in
trusted to the skill Of detectives Pryde
and McCune. The officers and Chief
Athy had reason to suspect the colored
servant, Emma Moore, who had been
living with Mr.. Mevilar's family, being
engaged as nurse. Mrs. Mevilar objected
to the servants arrest, but the officers
took the nurse 10 charge, and the
accused admitted her guilt. From
her statement we CLEAN the follow.
ing facts respecting the larceny and
attempt at arson: Seeing the money
in the bureau Emma Moore stole it, and
in order to destroy all evidence Of her
guilt determined to FIRE the house. She
therefore rolled the money in a piece Of
calico and pat it in al old pillow case.
She then placed this case on the roof Of
a shed, 80 that it would escape the con
h~agration which abe was planning. AS
the family sent her up town every day to
bring meals from Gaston's, Emma Moore
procured a match and set fire to the mat,
tress on a bed in an adjoining room.
She at once proceeded up town, but Mrs.
Mevilar CHANGED to see the light through
the transom, aud upon opening the door
was startled to behold the burning bed.
She called to a colored man on the street
and he promptly rendered efficient assist
ance, thereby ~ex.inguishing the flames
and saving the dwelling from destruction
Emma Moore has surrendered the stoler
money, which amounts to Sl27.40. Sh'
is now in prison, aud will have an ex
aiming trial this afternoon by Records
Duff.
