ED. GAzETTE:-At the time of writing
everything seems to be gliding along quietly
and in perfect harmony. Spring, summer,
autumn and winter follow each other in
their appointed cycles without witnessing
many departures from the common quietude
of our little city, which is yet in it's infancy.
The first Monday in December being the
day for our city election is causing an unu-
sual amount of eleetionering; as this is un-
doubtedly another chance for several of our
citizens to be promoted.
The firm formerly known as Gleason and
McLain has been dissolved by mutual con-
sent. Mr.. Gleason having removed his
part of the merchandise to the grange hall
on Muddy where he has opened store.
Mr. McLain is still occupying the old stand.
T. w. Belt has opened neat store and is
selling good article at low figure and
we bespeak for him liberal patronage.
Prof Jones, well known ss one of the
leading musicians of the valley, has organ
lied class in singing and vocal culture at
this place. The public school house is
crowded every Monday evening by the
citizens both Young and old who go there
to enjoy a good sociable time. The first
part of the evening being devoted to tue
pract. ce of spelling the afte, part to Rhetor-
ical work interspersed with music.
Mr.. j. Barker our barber is seriously i'll
with the afec ion Of the lungs.
Last night near II o'clock amid the rain
and intense darkness os the night, our cit
liens wete sta tiled from their quiet slum
bers by such hideous yells, beatlng of pans
rafting of bells and roaring of guns, that
our minds were quickly called back from
dreamy lands: and for awhile it seemed as
if we had been suddenly transported to the
internal regions. 1t all being caused by a
gang of boys who, perhaps without many
dimes in Their pockets, were buggy for
treat, had gone to chariyari newly mar
,ied couple just on the outside of the cor
roration.
Mr.. S. Gilmore, our city marshal, re-
turned from court yesterday. He has not
been hanged yet; but with cheerful coun-
tenance he still acts as a conservator of
peace and order.
Rev. Gallahorn, an eastern evangelist, is
holding a series of meetings at this place
upon the line of Bible holiness. He is an
able minister and the majority of the people
are accepting the doctrine of sauctifcation
as an experience subsequent to conversion
and received by faith. They are having one
of the most powerful meetings that has
been held in this place for number of
years. A SCHOOL Boy.

A Dual Tragedy.

IL will be remembered THAT the Yakima
Signal some time since, says that paper, con-
, tanned an allusion to the mysterious disap-
pearance of a man named Frasier, who was
a member of what is known as the Cali
fornia colony in.the Big Bend country, a
vast and pal tally settled region lying
northeast of White Bluffs, on the Column
bia. Frasier had been out on the range
looking for lost horses and when last seen
was thought to be on his way to the
settlement which is located in the vicinity
OF the Grand Coulee. A search was insti-
tuted for the missing man and continued
throughout the entire month of. September
One of his pack hors- was found and this
and other traces indicated foul play. The
/ investigation was followed up with such
vigor and determination that certain In
dian living up in that country who knew of
the fate of the lost man, concluded that it
might be safer to divulge the secret. He
accordingly went to the stockmen and 9TH
ers who had been making inquiry into the
mystery and told that the missing man had
been murdered and robbed and thrown into
Moses lake. To confirm the report he took
the party to the lake and showed them the
body of the unfortunate man who was
found to have been shot and robbed as re-
ported. The Indian volunteered to go and
point out the Indian who performed the
CHASTITY deed. The murderer was readily
reached and on being pointed out was
found to be riding one of the murdered
mans horses. The party then dismissed
the guide and hung the murderer on the
spct.

Couldn't Ship the Farm.

There arrived at Salem, yesterday, one of
the largest car loads of household goods,
horses, farming implements. etc., that was
ever unloaded at this place says the Talk.
! A man, Stodard by name, of Tower Ciyt
Oak, chartered car from that point for
$500 and as they sent him an extra large
one he tried to load her down. His wagons
he took apart, and together with mower
and binder, he placed top of the car.
The wagon bed he used as chicken coop,
and filled it with turkies, chickens and 9TH
er fowls, and put that on top. In one end
of the car he put five horses, but unfortu
nately for him two of them took a severe
cold while in the mountains aud died. In
the other end he put all his household
plunder, everything from needle case to
the organ was packed away. Near the
horses he had bin in which he kept his
oats with which to feed the teams. The
center of the car he converted into house,
and in it he and his family of three or more
persons lived while en- route. Thinking
that times might be hard here he brought
his seed wheat, and some twenty bushels of
potatoes. Qnite number of plows, har-
rows, sets of harness, hatchets, nails, ETC..
were stored away somewhere in the car.
When we saw the pile it all ma,ie VIII en- un-
loaded, we began to look about for the farm
itself. He might just as well have bought
two or three feet of Dacota's soil along as
not.

London

.. In 1881 London had 3,Sl5, 81 inhabitants
of which l, ,794, lO6 were males and 2,020,-
495 females or 16 females to IA males.
/ Fhe females had majority over the males
of 226, ,359, larger number than the COM
bined armies of Napoleon and Wellington
at Waterloo. Without including suburbs
it covers 7S,0S0 acres or l22 square miles.
The people of London are packed in at the
rate of 80, 356 to the So. mile or little over
fifty to the acre. In 1881 there were 1885,,
2S6 inhab tied houses in London or about 7a
persons to house. If London continues
to increase in population at the same rate
as it did between 1871 and 1881, by 1891
it will have a, 45l 400 inhabitants, by 1901,
s. 1873, ,4l5 and by 1851 it will contain, the
enormous number, of II, ,224, 99l inhabi-
tants If the same propotion of females to
males should continue in 1851 there will be
about 10000, more females than males, so
that London 20 years hence will probably
be poor place for females to come to in
steam vessels as equaling three of sailing
vessels the total tonnage of the world is SCI
down by Kiaer a great Norwegian statisti-
clan at 27 .42O, 1873 tons OF which $3.50, 6SS
is accredited to London. There is always
more than Thousand vessels in the port of
London. London consumes over 1000, 900,
tons of coal per annum. The public houses
(saloons) of London if placed in a straight
line would form a continuous row of houses
over forty miles in length st. Pauls Ca
thedral is the largest Protestant place of

the evening. $4,000 business men etc ar
rive at the Broad Street Railroad terminus
every morning between the hours of 7 to 10,

mortgage, must take care of his farm
machinery. The ordinary life of a
