FREIGHT From SAN FRANcIsCo.-The
of the railroad to Lake Su-

FREIGHT FROM SAN FRANcIsoo.-The
completion of the railroad to Lake Su-
perior seems 20 have no effect whatever
in diminishing freight receipts from
San Francisco. On the contrary they
continue to increase, and are greater
now than at any time in the past. Until
within the past week we never before
had three steamships arrive with par
tial or entire carQoes of merchandise;
never before had four vessels here at
the same time discharging cargo, or
waiting to discharge it; and never
before had so much freight tonnage in
port, on the way to 1t, or loading for it.
The three steamers to arrive almost to-
gether were the Geo. w. Elder, bringing
3S4 tons; the Willamette $40 tons, and
the Walla Walla 30 tons. The four YES
sells in port we're the three named, and
the schooner American Girl, the latter
having 400 tons cargo. In addition to
these vessels, the bark Henry Buck is
on the way with GOO tons of merchan-
disc, and the steamer Dakota, with
probably 40, while the steamer Una
tilla is to sail today, and the schooner
w. l.. Beebe on Thursday. Estimating
the Dakota at 40 tons and the Una
tilla and Beebe at 800 tons together, the
whole quantity of merchandise from
San Francisco brought within the past
week, now on the way, aud now loading,
Is 2624 tons--a quantity greater than
ever before shipped in the same period
of time, and by no means indicative of
loss of trade to the coast metropolis.
RUNAWAY aftarnoon ma
Mr.. James McNaught's team, attached
to double seated carriage, was being
driven along Mil street, an accident oc-
CURED which might have been quite Sc
rious. Immediately in front o: the
Yesler- Lsary building, man, apparent
ly under the influence of liquor, at
tempted to cross the street in front of
the horses, but being too close, was
slightly touched by one of them. Over
come by stupid rage he struck the
animal IN the face with his arm. The
horse, a young and rather spirited one,
reared back, and in SO doing broke some
Of the running gear. Frightened at
this both horses began to plunge. A
gentleman standing near sprang to the
assistance of the driver and managed to
turn the horses into the wall at the side
Of the roadway. Here they were quieted
down after having broken the carriage
considerably. 1t is needless to say that
the individual who caused all the
trouble slipped quietly away during the
excitement. The escape of those in the
carriage was narrow one. as the affair
might have been much worse than il
fortunately turned out.
