Mr.. J. S. Conner, OF Wbatcom
county, informs us that about two
thousand dollars worth OF coarse
gold was brought down from the
Skagit river mines within the past
week, and that the miners are daily
meeting with much to encourage
them. The great need now in the
way OF pushing forward the work of
prospecting and developing these
gold fields is a good trail adapted to
pack trains. Within a short time,
evidences have come to light which
dispel al doubts rs to the existence
of paying digginSs at various points
along the headwaters and upper
tributaries of that river. We are
decidedly of the opinion that our
Legislature could not more wisely ap.
propriate few thousand dollars than
for the purpose of cutting and main
tanning substantial trail from the
head Of steamer navigation to the
mines. There is time enough, yet,
for bill to be introduced and thor
oughly discussed in all its bearings.

A TERRIBLE accident happened at
Seattle, last Wednesday night. The
steamer Chehalis had landed at the
Barrel Factory wharf, Mrs. E. Mer-
rill and her little daughter, q child
about five years of age. Proceeding,
as she supposed, up the wharf to-
wards the boarding house whittier
she was bound, Mrs. Merrill and her
child walked off the L-shaped wharf
and fell headlong into the water.
AS she went down, the wretched
woman was heard to scream in the
agony Of despair, go Marshall!
Marshallw the name of the man
who, it seems, was to meet her at
the wharf. The body of Mrs. Mer-
rill was found, soon after, about
mile below the wharf where the
tide had carried it; but up to last
accounts, the body of the child had
not been recovered. Mrs. Merrill
vas taken to house near by and
Drs. Williken and Starkey called in,
but all efforts to restore her proved
unavailing. Deceased was sister of
Mrs. j. +. Curtiss, of Seattle, and
recently came from Iowa. On the
night of the accident, she was return
ing from visit to the Samish.

Shocking Disaster.

From the Boston papers we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars of heartrending accident by
which five people lost their lives: The occu-
pants of the tenement 120 Gold street, which
was burned last night. were: On the first
floor, an aged couple whom no one in
the vicinity seems to have known, and
one Gillespie and wife. On the second
floor, German family, consisting of
father, mother, and three children, named
Pfeiffer On the third floor, Ferdinand Meroth,
wife and two children, and George Holdreid,
wife and two children, making fifteen persons
asleep in the house when the incendiary kin
died the fire. When the fire was discovered by
policeman II was a quarter to II, and the
flames were breaking out on the first floor,
having burned away the stairs, making them
impossible. The smoke was rolling up the
narrow staircases, and the awakened inmates,
before the fremen could arrive with their lad
ders, had either leaped from the windows, gone
to the roof in hope of safety, or dropped suffo-
Gated in the hall.
The old couple on the first floor made their
escape and were not heard of during the night.
The Gillespie family escaped, with the excep-
ton of the wife and mother. The latter, 80
years old, might have escaped by walking six
feet, but became bewildered and swooned in
her room She was found by the fire.

jumped to the ground, and in falling met in
stant death. Mrs. Meroth is at the City Hospital,
with fractures of both legs and one arm, and
her face is bruised beyond all recognition. The
daughter Rosie sustained no serious injuries,
but Charles is badly hurt. Holdreid took his
wife to the roof, aud then went down stairs,
where he was caught by the flames and burned,
probably fatally. Mrs. Holdreid's body, charred
beyond recognition, was found on the root.
Charles Holdreid, the SOD, is at the hospital, in

Gen. Sherman and the South.

A dispatch from Salisbury, N. c., says: A
grand relnion Of the survivors OF the Confed-
crate and Federal armies has been arranged 10
take place here on the Sd of October. Invita-
tons were sent to both armies. Lieut. Gen.
Sheridan politely refused on account OF pressing
business engagements He expressed his hope
of the success of the movement. Gen. w. T.
Sherman wrote letter which has created no
little excitement The letter is as follows:

you on any suitable oocasion-there is no use IN
my mincing rerms--whenever and wherever
the honest men of North Carolina seek to allay
sectional and party animosities, and to cultivate
feelings of fraternal respect for their Fellow
citizens Of Che United States. II Will be to me
most tempting to come to Salisbury. wouid
far prefer to come alone than, as De-
fore, with vast army, leaving desola-
ton behind, but l must not be CON
strued as asserting to the proposition that
the Confederates aud Union men were alike
worthy of celebration for the terrible history OF
lS6l-G5. would much prefer to come ON some
civic occasion, when all are absolutely equal
all alike interested in the present and future
glory OF our common country. There were
few Union soldiers from North Carolina during
the war, though we believe the people generally
we're opposed TO secession, and Will say that
your meeting If confined To the surviving sol
diers of North Carolina, will be, in fact, a Con-
federate reunion, where ! would certainly be
out Of place. All soldiers, in their social re-
unions, glorify their deeds of heroism and this
reunion will hardly be an exception, and it
would be strange sight for Gen. Sherman to
cheer the victories of his enemies and respond
to the claim that, because the soldiers of North
Carolina were brave and true to their State and
section, their cause was as sacred as ours, which
finally triumphed and made our Union more
glorious and moro resplendent than before.
We're / present, and you should sup
press this natural feeling, would feel
myself an intruder, marring the natural hap
piness Of the festive occasion. know that
the soldier element was the first to lay aside
the angry partisan feelings Of the war, and are
now leaders in the new epoch which is soon to
add wealth and prosperity to our whole coun-
try; and when some occasion arises when we
may all meet on common ground In North Car
DINA to celebrate some Revolutionary event, OF
to encourage some mode II enterprise, it will
give me great pleasure to come to Salisbury, to
Raleigh, to Guilford Court House. or to any
other place in the old North State

The Shoe Peesness Preferred.

A man near 20 years of age started
small confectionery store a few months
since, and sent word to his three credi-
tors up town and desired to compromise.
The trio went down to the store, which
they found in full blast, and the four
sat down for talk.
"You see, shentlemen, l do no pees-
ness, and my family eats up all the
profits, he said by way of an excuse.
"You owe me twelve dollars, replied
one of the creditors, "and each OF these
others fifteen apiece. That makes for
ty-two dollars"
"Shust forty-two," sighed the old
man.
Now, then, how much money have
you on hand?"
"Shust sixty dollar and no more
"Very well, as you have had bad luck
we will settle with you for one hundred
and twenty cents oil the dollar, and you
can go on as before"
Yaw, 1 will do dot, shentlemens,
and / am much obliged for such kind
treatment"
He got out his money, the 20 per
cent. was added to the claims and paid,
aud before the creditors retired he in
sisted on treating them to ice-cream.
They had not been gone an hour be-
fore the old man rushed out, hailed a
policeman and said:
"If fails in peesness und bays one
dollar und twenty cents on the dollar
What does it mean?"
1t means that you don't understand
how to fail" was the reply.
Ish dot possible?" whispered the
old man.

ness again. When l fails in dot pees-
ness l makes everythings. When /

A Troopers Story OF the Cabul Mas.

dispatch from Simla, in India, says: "One
of the troopers of Maj. Cavagnari's escort has
arrived at Lundi Khotal. He says that the
roof of the British Residency at Cabul was
commanded by other houses, and was con-
sequently untenablc by the beseged, who
made q trench outside. At about l o'clock
in the afternoon on the day of the massa-
ere Maj Cavagnari received wound from
a ricocheting bullet in his forehead. Mr. Jen-
kyns, Mai. Cavagnari's assistant, who arrived
at the residency daring the attack, wrote 10 the
Ameer for help; the Ameer's reply was. sGood
will l am making ARRANGEMENTS" A prcvi-
Gus request for aid from Maj Cavsgnari had
met with the same reply Mr.. Jenkyns wrote
again when Mai Cavagnari was wounded, but
the bearer of the letter was cut to pieces by the
mutineers.
@The trooper then started, but was disarmod
and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping at
dsybrcak on the 4th of September, aud visited
the resi1ency where he saw the corpse OF
Lieut. Hamilton, commanding the Escort Of the
British mission, lyiug across mountain gun
He says that Mr.. Jenkyns was with q
person called Yahyah Kahn, and was,
therefore, presumably alive. The escaped
trooper cav no troops on tho road
from Cabul TO Jelallabad and Dakka, am, so far
as he knew, none were coming comrade
who was confined III Cabul informed him that
Lieut. Hamilton shot three of the mutineers
with his revolver, and killed two with his saber.

sion, was lying dead inside the residencv Mai

were, to all appearances, brought to an end a
few months ago, and who had not again taken
up arms, were recently butchered in their

ter the village and surprise the
small garrison of loyal volunteers. The garri-
son defended the village for three days, sus-
tanning considerable losses, when Gen. Velera
arrived with reinforcements, routed the insur-
gents, and pursued them into the hills which
surround the village.

is indicated by the figures showing that the az

Cure for Snake.Bite.

Mr.. s. s. Bowmer says that the fol-
lowing is certain cure for snake-bite,
viz: Take the leaves from the cotton
wood tree, make strong tea of the
same, use freely internally, and battle
the wounded part well. His dog was
bitten by very large copperhead, and,
after running fifty yards, fell, and to
all appearances was in dying condi-
ton. He took the dog up in his arms
and carried it home, made a tea of the
cottonwood leaves, bathed the part bit
ten, and poured about quart of the
liquid down the dogs throat. In abou
fifteen minutes the dog was up, run
ming about, and in half al hour he was
out in the woods hunting mp another
