PORTLAND, January 13sh.-Diphtheria has
been raging in Newcastle, Washington Terri

reported. and several deaths.

Thomas Pierce, an old citizen of Helm
Prairie, w. T., was drowned on the 11th in
Nisquslly river, by the cap=izing of skih.
The body was not recovered.
Mrs. John Z. Mauson, living near Van
couver, W. T., was suddenly seized with epi-
leptic fits yesterday, while cooking a meal
alone at az open fireplace. and pitched head
first into the heap of Goals. Sne was most
horribly burned about the face, aud her breast
literally roasted, presenting a frightful spec.
tacle. The woman is still lingering, but her
physician says she must die.
A son of Joseph Roberto, aged 20 years,
living in Douglass county, Oregon, got into
o dispute with his sister, aged II. The boy
had an open knife in his hand, and

storm has burst it does not find US
altogether unprepared TO ride the waves
We all live in the hope that the Sawyer
decision may be wholly or partially over
turned but if worst comes to the worst,
and the Supreme Court of the United
States ratites it, we may find that the
gravel channels can be relieved of their
auriferous riches in another way. TIE

Nevada City do they thrive with unwonted
vigor. The fertility and climatic sdvsn-
taGes Of our hillsides and table lands for
fruit growing are coming TO be widely
recognized, and a portion of the water
heretofore devoted to washing away the
mountains will, if used for irrigatjDg, cause
them to blossom like the rose within an
other decade. Ne, Nevada county has too

The Mexican Reciprocity Treaty,

WASHINGTON. January 18th. I. is ex.
pected that q considerable portion of the pres
ent week will be devoted by the Senate to the
consideration of the Mexican reciprocity
treaty. a proposition has been made in ex-
eoutiye session that the discussion take place
with open doors, and many Senators ex-
pressed themselves in favor of it; but the
precedents, with one exception, are against
such a course, and it is uncertain what de.
cision will be reached. 1t is believed the
treaty will be ratified, but serious objections
were made in the progress of the dis.
cu=sion. The Senators apprehend war
and prospective annexation ss the result of
complications which they think are sure to
grow out of the attempts of Americans to
establish themselves in Mexico. Others hold
the opinion that if the President and Senate
may establish free trade relations with one
l.ation it may with sll, and thus exclude the
popular branch Of Congress from any partici.
patton in the exercise of one of the most i'm
portsnt functions of the Government, that of
raising revenue. 1t will also be argued that
reciprocity treaties exist between Mexico and
other Powers, conferripg upon them all the
advantages granted the most favored nation.
and the ratification of the present treaty
would not therefore confer upon us conspicu-
GUS advantages, since other nations must be
admitted to share its benefts BY the pro.
visions of the treaty ratification must take
place the present week, or tins matter falls.
