DEATH IN THE SKAGIr.-A miner
met his death II few days ago in the
Skagit country. He was prospecting
with four or five others, on the head
waters of Panther creek and came to
a spot where the ice and snow stretched
across the stream from shore to shore,
forming a sort of bridge. He venturcd
upon the snow, and when half way
across the treacherous formation gave
way and he sank down to his armpits.
He called for assistance, but before his
companions could reach him he passed
slowly through the yielding mass into
the roaring torrent beneath and was
carried under the snow and ice never
more to reappear.

some of the grandest scenery in these

Medical Lake hasn't proved such
an extraordinary blessing to the sick
as was anticipated. The trip, the
hopeful feeling cngendered, the rest

but that the waters Of the Lake bene-

any other lake would have done under
like circumstances has not been clearly
established.

STRANGE FATALITY.-News comes
of the death ofa man called "half breed
Tom," in the Big Lake country on the
LIST. Sept. 1t seems that Tom was out
hunting for cattle, and riding an un-
broken horse. He had long rope at
tached to the horn of his saddle, which
was used as II lasso. While riding
along in quest of the cattle, he espied
Il fawn about fifty yalds from him, and
no doubt, thinking what fine sport it
would be to lasso il, he prepared the
rope, and while swinging .he moose
above his head it by some unaccount-
able mishap encircled his neck, and the
horse shying at the same time, threw
Tom to the ground. The horse ran
away and chokcd the unfortunate
man to death. W0iid Wdii0 Union.

One of the sensations lately has
been the publication of n letter from
Dictator Gambetta to the Councillor
General, in which he clearly expresses
II thought that has been in every
F'renchman's mind since occupation
of Paris by the Germans in 1871. For
nine years France has been making
preparations to retrieve the position
and territory lost in that humiliating
campaign. Forthis her military budg-
cts have been borne without mur-
mur; her compulsory service intro
duced, and the country made more of
n military barrack than she was un-
der the lanpire. "France," says Gam
BETA, in the letter referred to, "will
be permitted to resume without pre-
the advanced rank which
belongs to her in the world, to regain
the provinces violently torn from her,
and of her restored integrity to make
pledges for the peace of Europe
