If any, of them we're particularly familiar
with the rules tor its measurement. A

that pile of hay feet square by Z feet

The Seattle Post tells the following
as having happened at Squak valley:
r. Hopkins, hearing an uproar in
his chicken house, jumped out of bed
and Selling his gun and lantern ran
out to see what was the matter. He
saw some animal indistinctly in the
darkness, and blazed away at him.
With the report of the gun his lamp
went out and he was left in total dark
ness. He found he had only wounded
the beast, and closed the door. His
wife then brought him more ammuni-
ton and he hastily reloaded his gun.
Opening the door cautiously, the beast
jumped for him; he sprang quickly to
one side, and as the beast came through
the door he fired and luckily killed
him. He proved to be large panther,
s feet inches from tip to tip.

A thorough search being instituted
to detect the burglar, as announced
last week, resulting in the development
of a long continued and systematic
career of burglary and thievery on the
part of one Philip Reichart, the par
allel of which is almost without pre-
cedert in so small town as this.
Property missed several years since
was recovered and identified, including
almost every conceivable article-bed
clothing, ladies' and gentlemen's under
wear, mechanical tools of all kinds and
descriptions, including ten or fifteen
axes, a number of hand and cross-cut
saws, hoes, also books, musical instru-
ments, money, iewelry, etc. Mr.. John
Malarkey, whose house had been
robbed several years ago, recovered
much of his property. Con Scully, Of
South Slough, recovered a suit of
clothing lost long ago. Many parties
recovered chairs and other furniture,
gathered in from every quarter. Charles
johnson recovered his money and
jewelry. taken out of his house some
time since. We recovered jewelry
stolen recently. Mr.. Webster will
probably recover the orchard stolen
from him couple of years since, as
the trees are growing on the thiefs
ranch.

AN 1NCIDENT.-It was on Tuesday
morning, says the Dalles .No'ataineer,
an hour or two before the funeral SER
vices of Mrs. Hester Williams. An
aged Indian known as old Billy came
to the window and stood looking in
for few minutes, and turned away.
Some one observing him, asked that
he might be permitted to come in.
He was invited into the room, and
went and stood by the coffin. He
gazed a few moments upon the life
less form, when the tears gathered in
his eyes, trickling down his wrinkled
face. Weeping, and brushing away
the tears with his hands, he silently
left the room, as one who moWned
the loss of very dear friend. Billy
had often been employed by Mrs. w.
to saw wood and for other small jobs,
and her proverbial kindness to all
around her had set its seal upon the
heart of the old Indian, and won this
tribute of affection to her memory.

A row occurred at Judge Sparks
hotel one day this week, which nearly
resulted seriously. The Chinese cook
has been very cross, of late, and is said
to have threatened one of the daugh-
ters of the proprietor with knife on
two or three occasions. The last time,
she ran out of the kitchen screaming
for help, and a young man boarding at
the house, named Richard Payne, in
terfered. The cook threw some hot
coffee in Payne's face, scading him
considerably, and the latter retorted
by striking him. The Chinaman then
struck Payne on the arm with knife,
cutting long, deep cash. With that,
Payne knocked him down with chair
and nearly killed him, and perhaps
would have done so had he not been
interfered with. The Chinaman's
friends have commenced prosecution,
and Mr.. Payne has been bound over
for trial. If our information in the
premises is correct he did just right,
and the Chinaman got no more than
he deserved, although it will be some
time before he is able to draw knife
on another girl.-Oiympia Courier.

Wonderful Endurance.
[Palouse Gazette, Feb. 81

One night during the first heavy
storm this winter Mrs. Keith, living
near Leachville, started from one OF
her neighbors on horseback, accom-
panied by two children, for her own
home. some two miles distant. Just
as they had arrived home the horse
on which the trio were riding slipped
and fell, dismounting the riders and
breaking one of Mrs. keath's legs.
There being no one in the house, and
the extreme youthfulness ofthe child
rem rendering them unable to assist
the suffering woman, she, writhing
with pain and shivering with cold,
crawled to the shed where the horse
had gone, took the halter in her mouth
and led the beast to wagon, where
she assisted the children to mount.
She then crawled on her hands and
knees for two miles through the deep
snow and pelting storm, leading the
horse on which the children were
seated, and arrived late at night, suf-
fering intense agony from her broken
limb, at the house of the neighbor
which she had left early in the even
ing. Had not the brave woman been
capable of enduring extreme hard
ships, it is more than likely that she
and the children would have frozen
to death.

The examination has not cleared
up the cipher dispatches, and has not
explained how a mass of correspon-
dence touching bribery in one shape
or another could be conducted under
the nose of Mr.. Tilden without his
knowledge, and conducted by his
confidential friends, admirers and
agents. Mr.. Tilden deposes that he
did not know these things, except in
special instance, when he rebuked
his nephew, Mr.. Pelton-but why he
did not know it, and how it could go
on for months without his knowledge,
remains a disagreeable mystery.

The old mode of ballasting ships by
fragments of rock, sand, etc, is likely
to be entirely superseded by new
and cheaper way. Iron tanks are
placed on either side of the kelson,
and when the ship is ready to leave
port these tanks are pumped full of
sea water by the ships donkey engine.
On arriving at her destination the
water is pumped out into the harbor.
Many ships are adopting the new
