West Haven.

George Evans, adopted son Of ID. Thompson, Esq.,, who left the borough about three years ago for the West, writes very glowing accounts of the country. He is To- cated in Stanwood, Washington Territory. He was only little over sixteen years of age when he left here. He was clerk for Berke- le & Curtiss for awhile in this city, and got the western fever on him and wanted to go West. MT. Thompson kindly gratifed his desire, and he went alone and has succeeded in getting good situation in a large store, and he also acts as pilot on vessels going down the river to the Sound, which is about four miles from Stanwood. He says that settlers are coming in very fast and taking up government land. They raise wheat, oats, barley and corn. Wages are very good. One can get from $1.5O to $2 per day and board in the harvest field lum- bermen and woodchoppers from forty to dians there You can see them passing up and down the river in their canoes made of cedar, loaded down with furs and game. It is wild country. One can have his fill at hunting bears, deer, wolves, foxes and beav- CTS, and if you want fish you can go on the river and catch salmon and trout in great quantities He likes the country very much and he is bound to stick and says that it is good place for young man to come and set tie, but he must expect to meet with some hardships. He also says that the winters are not so severe as they are here. They had two shocks of earthquake which shook them up some, but did not do any damage to speak of, but frightened some of the timid ones.

THE STATE HOUSE.
Fehciana Sentinel.


On Monday last we went through
this edifice in company with Supt.
T. j Bird, and was greatly pleased to
find the rapid progress the contrac-
tors have made with the work.
The wood, brick, glass and iron
work may be said to have been
completed and the stone-cutters are
now at work on their portion Of the
Improvement. Only the necessary
portion of this work, however, will
be performed at present, owing 70
the inadequaey Of the funds. Then
there is the work of plasteriag yet to
be done and then the building will
be finished. Maj. Bird informed us
that the work could have been finish
ed by this date, had the necessary
funds been available. The 6rst
appropriation was most liberal one
and almost sufficient to have cover
ed the cost Of restoration, had the
Legislature exhibited the necessary
wisdom in ordering the issuance of
the State House warrants. From
some inexplicable cause, that body
failed to follow the Constitutional In
junction which ordered tho drawing
of the warrants. These warrants are
by the authority Of the organic law
Constitutional warrants, but the Leg
islature failed to issue them as such
aud they are classed as "ordinary
warrants" Ordinary warrants sell
from 40 to As cents, while Constitu-
tional warrants are quoted at 90
and IS, which in the case of the State
House warrants causes a loss of
many thousands of dollars. Ordinary
warrants, in being taken up cost "a
much as Constitutional warrants,
therefore no scrnples of ECONOMY
could have been the reason for the
failure Of the Legislature, to make
the State House debt. q Constitutions
al one. -
We were further informed by one
who is in position to know
the workings, of the State
House commission, that but very few
of these warrants have been put on
the market. The work has been ac-
complished by placing as coilaterals,
two warrants where one was due.
BY this method of financiering the
commission had hoped to keep the
work going on until they could get
Legislative aid.
| Bat now, nearly al. these warrants
having been so placed it is evident
that work will necessarily be sus
! ed unless something il done in the
lHrar future. We see no way out Of
! tip dilemma, unless it be an extra
