PORTLAND, January 80. The steamship
Quebec of the Dominion line. arrived at this
port this morning, after experiencing such a
stormy and cyentinl passage as seldom falls
to the lot of vessel, even in the wintry At
lantic. She left Liverpool January 3, max
ing the trip in - days. All the way across
she encountered nothing but succession OF
westerly gales, which often increased to the
fury of hurricanes. \ visit to the vessel this
morning, showed to some extent how she had
suffered. Her decks have been completely
cleaned. Almost everything movable and
many things which were secured in the very
strongest manner have gone by the board. A
sea went through the whcel-house aft. taking
ont both sides as clean as though locomo-
tive had dashed through it, and sweeping
away all the apparatus, steering gear, COM
pass, &C. OF six large iron water tanks bolt
ed to the deck in the strongest manner, three
were torn up from their fastcnings and tossed
into the sea like straws. Several iron ven
tilators, which are huge square tunnels rising
five or six feet above deck, were also lost
One was stove, the force of the sea bending
and breaking the thick boiler iron as if it
were paper. OF six fine large boats, three
were summarily launched in mid ocean and
the others stove.

Davis & Cos Short Horns

From the Chicago Stockman.
Sunday q lot of 81 shorthorn bull
calves, from Shelburn, Mass, arrived
here on their way to Cheyenne, at which
place they will be taken in care by
Davis Il Co., to whom they belong.
This morning DIR. Noah Cressy. profess
sor of veterinary surgery, Amherst,

the cattle in the most careful manner,
and sent Gen. Clarence King the fol-

all thriving. Sent them forward.
Gen. King, Is a partner in the firm
of Davis & Co., is of course deeply in
terested in the question of their health,
and naturally took all possible precau-
tions against exposing their large herds
on the plains to the possibility of con
tagion. To this end he secured the
services of DR.. Cressy, well known as
an expert and thoroughly informed vet
erinarian, and sent him to inspect the
stock at Shelburn. When he arrived
there the cattle were on their way to
Chicago, and he promptly decided to
follow them with the result set forth
above

The Question Well Put.

The people Of the east generally are
aroused fully to the necessity of al i'm
proyement in the mode of transporting
cattle from Chicago to New York,
which run is said to be more barbarous
than any other In the country. The
Chicago Journal Of Commerce, speaking
on the subject says:
Palace cattle car monopoly or not, it
is to be regretted that the bill regulat-
ing the transportation of cattle, with
every comfort necessary to preserve
their healthful condition, has failed to
become an i'm mediate law, and that the
United States senate in its wisdom, (?)
thought proper, on Tuesday of last week
to postpone its further consideration
until next December. The American
Humane society, through m Of its most
observing and cautious agents, recently
made n report on the treatment cattle
now receive land not only cattle but
other live stock, in their t%ransporta-
ton from the plains of the west to
points of consumption at the east, which
has been widely read and commented
upon. 1t was shown how from the
stock yards at this city, cattle are run
through in crowded ears to New York
without rest, food or water, their con-
Hnement in the ears being romthree to
four days and nights; how, day after
day, stock is unloaded from the cars
here, every train containing dead cat
tie and hogs who have persisted on the
way from the brutal treatment they re-
ceive. OF course there are exceptions.
Some shippers being more humane than
others, provide for the comfort Of their
stock in a kindly manner. The friends
of humanity, who have taken a deep in
terest in this matter, will now have to
wait until the meeting of congress in
December Hext, when they must see
that their humane efforts to alleviate
the sufferings of these dumb brutes
shall not fail, and that fresh and whole
some meat shall be provided the pub

Subject for a Poem.

An old hunter recently, while tray
cling owe the ground nea Old Wo-
mans Fork, on the Cheyenne road,
where the road agents used to have a
camp, found the skeleton of q woman
lying there. She had evidently been
murdered about a year ago. Some gar
ments and the general form of the
skeleton indicated that it was a woman.
The teeth were small, white and even,
and probably belonged to some one
whom the road agents found it advis'
able to put out of the way. No clue tc
her identity can be discovered, however.

PEASE COUNTY.
An Actual Settler Gives His Views
What the Buccaneers are
Doing.
GOOSE CnEEk. Mny 20. "a.

GOOSE CREEK, May %, -.
To lie Editor of the Leader:
/ would like to make q few brief re-
marks through the medium of your
paper, regarding the organization Of
this new county of Pe,se. am one
of the actual settlers, having my home
here, and am connected with the Pat
rick stage line from Fort Mckinney to
Tongue river, so that / have an oppor-
tunity of knowing every foot of land
and what it will grow. On all the
creeks from Fort Mckinney TO Tongue
river, which are rs follows: Rock,
Shell, Little Pinnez, Prairie Dog, Little
Goose creek, Big Goose creek, Soldiers
creek, Wolf creek and Tongue river.
All nice clear water, and fine valleys.
So hat if ever we are organized into q
county, the county must be made to be
self sustaining, and can only be made
SO by what is grown and raised in those
valleys, as south Of Mckinney the land
is not so good, and there is not room
for but n few settlers on any Of the
creeks. Now If the settlers in the val
leys that | have named are successful
in raising produce. grain etc, las l be-
lieve they will they must have a mar
ket, and the nearer hat market is
to where they raise their crops the bet
ter. So that if any county seat is es-
tablished l hope that the gentlemen
who may have the locating of such
will consider those points. If a little
town would be started, the merchants
would contract with the government to
supply the forts around here with grain,
and thus make a market for what is
produced in these many beautiful val
leys.
Judge Andrews, NJ. Trabing and
others, who claim to be special commits
s%ioners, arrived at Fort Mckinney a
few days ago. They camped at the
fork Of the two Goose creeks last Mon
day, then went up the Big Goose creek
valley, and around by the mountains
back to Little Goose creek cafion. l do
not know what they propose to do, as
| they have said but little to any of the
actual settlers as yet. But | hope that
they will do what Is right and just las
no doubt they win for the best inter
ests of the new county generally. 1t is
said that they are going to locate the
county seat at Trabing City, oil more
properly speaking, Crazy Woman's fork,
consisting of Mr.. Trainings store and
Dutch Charley's road ranch. The
stream, Crazy Woman's fork, is a small
one, and alkali at that, and would leave
the best and most fertile region about
sixty miles from a market. l should
regard Little Goose creek as the proper
place for the location of a county seat,
as it has the largest amount of settlers,
and has room for more settlers yet, be-
ing the finest valley, where any amount
Of produce can be raised with success.
l have corn, oats, peas, beans, potatoes,
ETC., up and looking well, and have had
no irrigation at all. So that what /
say / can say with truth and experience.
And if l could induce the settlement of
all these valleys in one month, one mis-
statement i would not make. / am in
for the organization of the county, but
want all personal consideration left out.
l 4 am not seeking office, don't want any.

A Homo for Ten Years

The entire time of yesterdays ses-
sion of the district court was occupied
with the case Of Harry Clifton, the
robber OF Sergeant Boiling, at Chase's
theater, on the morning of the I'd of
last May, the facts of which are doubt
less still fresh in the minds Of our
readers. The prosecution was repre-
scented by Z. p. johnson, county attor-
ney, and Hon. W. W. Corlett, and the
defense by Judge VIM. H. Miller and
E. W. Mann. The jury being secured,
the case went to trial. Several wit
nesses for the prosecution were intro
duced and examined by Mr.. Corlett
after several well fought battles over
the admissibility of certain portions of
their testimony. A few witnesses for
the defense were introduced, but their
testimony in no way affected the over
whelming evidence for the Territory.
Indeed, the evidence given in Clifton's
own statement welded together more
firmly the links of circumstantial evil
dence against him, and, as a whole, it
was regarded rs very strong testimony
for the prosecution.
The evidence in the case being in,
County Attorney johnson commenced
the arguments with a brief statement
of the case. He was followed by
Messrs. Miller and Mann, who did all
