and the abolition Of distiiling spirits,
for the promotion of sober conduct:
Eating and drinking TO the satisfaction
OF mutual appetiicS. exclude all eNccSScS
called g'uttony. On this understanding
should like 10 sre the following reform
adopted as i preliminary Tor future pro-
gress:
lSt. That markets similar TO provision
MAJ kets should be prepared for the retail
| and wholesale OF wine and beer for home
beverage, and that producers and import
els OF all classes of ftrmrnted drinks Ia be
obligated TO sell by measure and whole
sale III market cellars on similar condi-
! tiOnS with provision dealers at current
market prices. Thus families will be sup

well, only he is about fifty years he

caused the melancholy and premature
death OF Mr.. Parrish are pretty generally
known, yet few particulars will interest

idence was 1t the latter place, to which he
rode every evening on the cars. At the
time of the accident. he was riding OH a
platform car. The engine was behind
pushing the train. lie was sitting oil the
end of the car, with his feet hanging
down. Some gravel cars OH sile track
had run down so close that in passing the
switch the ears struck, stopping the train
instantly and throwing the victim off on
the track. AS the train was checked but
lie could get out OF the way. two brake
bars caught him and rolled and scraped
him over the ties, throwing him off The
track before the wheels could catch him,
The right leg was broken below the knee:
the lett leg was bruised TO a jelly from
thigh 10 ankle, with deep cash on the
thigh; besides this, the right hand was
mangled and crushed. Tie internal iniu-
ries evidently caused his death. Every
thing that loving friendship could sus
gest or medical skill perform was done.
but all in vain. His grief stricken brother
and sister, Mr.. Hiram Parish and Mrs.
Norris. who attended him in his last hours,
brought the remains over here for inter
mcnt at his birthplace and childhood

His illness Consumption WAS long and
tedious, but was soothed by the loving
care of parents and sisters. He descend
ed calmly and peacefully to the brink Of
Jordan. passing quietly away from earth.
to go where the Maker of promises for
ever dwells. To a naturally retiring dig
position he added sedateness OF thought
and manner, and Wien called from the
active scenes OF life to a bed OF lingering
sickness, he submitted with patient endur-
ance to the en1.
He was buried from the Presbyterian
Church, at San Juan and laid away in
the beautiful cemetery that ovcrlOoks the
homo of his beloved parents. And NOW
from that tomb, comes TO n sorrOwing
family voice sweeter than song-the
voice Of devoted son. Ii speaks OF
thankfulness shown to him in sickness.
and in health; it speaks OF love for those
left behind; il says to them, "Be not oi
those who grieve, and yet have no Com
| forter; who are wounded. and yet have no
Healer; who are weary. and We, have no
sure resting place" And TINS being
dead he yet speaketh.

The fierce criticisms upon Capt.
Starr for continuing the schedule
time of his steamers as formerly, III
stead of leaving Tacoma as snOn rs
the trains arrive there from kala ma,
has about subsided. The Seattle
"Post" has been obliged to make
war unaided, as all the other papers
that have spoken on the subject (and
they number nearly all on the Sound)
take the sensible view that the pro,
per way to effect change, if public
needs demand one, is to petition the
p. .. Department for a change OF
schedule. This bitter personal war
fare on a contractor will avail moth
ing, especially when he is doing bet-
ter than the terms of his contract
call for.

WHO KNOWS Our attention has
been called TO a specimen OF bog
iron ore from Mr.. Nichols farm on
Scow Bay. 1t looks exactly like the
Chimacum orc, and the bed is doubt
less continuation of the Chimacum
deposit. Mr.. N. accidentally discov
cred that his whole farm and the ad-
joining land is covered with this ore
bed, the surface soil being quite
shallow in places. A ditch three
feet deep through the ore did not
find the bottom of it. Who knows
but we may yet have a second fur
mace smOlting iron on Port Town
send Bay? There is certainly room
in the markets Of the world for more
iron, and Why not turn this natural
wealth into dollars and cents ?
