FINE OPPoRrUNTY.-We have
stocked farm for sale, not far from a
good local market, in Jefferson coun-
ty. To those who may be seeking

a safe and commodious bay; it COM
prises 1873 acres of land, about 40
acres Of which is fine bottom and
marsh. About 80 acres are clear
and unrsr fence. Good house, barn,
outbuildiLgs, fences, &c., &C., that

There are about 175 fruit trees OF
various kinds, carefully and we'll
selected, and including apple, plum,
pear, cherry, 2rune and other trees
some z years old and all in excel.
lent condition. A fine lot of stock
and tools are also for sale with the
the land and improvement, includ.
ing 10 cows, l yoke Of oxen, l horse,
8 head of young stock (half Jersey
also bees, fowls, boat, etc. The
place has cash income of $50 per
year from logging camp, besides
being near good market for butter,
eggs, beef, vegetables, hay or other
produce. The whole property is Of.
fered very chesp-could be bought
for less than S2,0O0-and possession
will be given immediately If desired.
Ibe ownor, on account Of failing
health, desires to engage in some
lighter occupation. For particulars,

CAPT. Morse, of the schooner Gen.
eral Miller, has some fine specimens
of gold bearing quartz, from ledge
owned by man named Quealy, in
Alaska. The rock is very rich in
free gold. Quealy makes a living
by pounding this rock up by hand,
and seems perfectly satisfied. There
were some persons from California
on the last steamer who went up to
examine the ledge, with a view of
developing it, if they can buy it
cheap enough. In Nevada the ledge
would be wsrth a million dollars,
but in Alaska it would not bring
100000; SO says Capt Morse.-"In.

FOR ANNEXATION.

In Nez Perce county, Idaho, 700
votes weSscast at the general elsc'

tion issue, against Smith, the Repub-
lican nominee, and Ainslee, the
Democrat. The contest was q close

suit on that day. and of the issue
most interesting TO Northern Idaho

is even yet chance that Brayman
will have a plurality vote and be
elected. Al any rate the north has
destroyed the argument used against
them to the effect that they have
changed from their purpose to 60 to

1900 votes ,ast, over ,1l00 Of these

AN ABLE EDITORS COMPARISON.

Editors are generally conservative
upon all religious topics or issues.
They, as club, are neither irreligi-
GUS nor bigoted, ever willing to leave
we'll enough alone and rather help
to build up, than tear down grand
old structure, which took 1880 years
in its construction and as yet, is but
half completed.
Thurlow Weed, the veteran jour.
nalist, compares the work of Moody
and Col. Bob Ingersoll, as follows:
"Moody goes to New York, and
drunkards reform, blasphsmers learn
to pray, dens of vice are converted
into places of worship, families are
made happier, children learn to sing
sweet songs, nsighborhoods are
