OTTAWA, Feb. 12.-The offer Of

FNrD. The entire day yesterday was
occupied at Justice Hills Court in the
trial OF the case of the Territory vs.
Anthony Harm and Mr.. Farnsvorth,
CHARGED With having assaulted Ger
man named Fritz Dsioel several DAYS
AGO, about eight miles from this city.
Many witnesses were examined, and the
facts elected were abeut as follows:
Harm and Farnsworth we're in Seattle
on August 9th, and started for X.
Jeff's place, up White River. abeut 10
o'clock in the morning, perfectly sober.
They stopped at the saloon on the beach
road and drank four or five glasses of
beer each. They then rode TO another
Joint, little further on, and drank
several more glasses. From there they
vent to Sweeney's brewery. Just above
the head Of the bay. and drank several
more. From there they went back to
the beer hsll and drank still more.
They then rode TO the race track, and
each drank q glass Of beer. BY this
time they we're both pretty drunk. and
started on for home. After riding a
short distance they were overtaken by
Fritz Deigel. who was sober. and Who
He rode by the men, but they soon
overlook him and spoke to him. He
answered the salute in broken English,
which seemed to esrage the drunken
men, who demanded that he should
talk UNITED States" to them. He
talked the best be could. bat they called
him hard names, and he retorted. The
German, who became alarmed, took out
his packet knife. Farnsworth rods on,
bot Harm remained behind to quarrel
with the German. They were ridiGg
side by side. The German claims that
Harm grabbed him and struck him. and
that be iu self defense stabbed his as
sailsnt. Harm admits having used the
viles. epithess that he could lay his
tongae TO, bat denies striking the Ger
man before he Was cut. However, the
German was very much frightened, and
went TO Rice Campbsll's residence for
protection. Two or three other COL
listens occurred during the day. in zach
OF which Harm and Farnsworth were
tho aerressors. and In each OF which
they got the worst OF il. Finally. In
despair, she German turned his horse
loose In an orchard and took TO the

Whaling Pro pects.

Whaling is likely this season to prove
a profitable speculation, in consequence
of the price OF whaleboue. which has
now reached very high figure
wards of t., 200 sterling per ton. At
one time ''bone' was disrsgarde,i, and
scarcely Afforded ship room. because of
there being no demand for it. Now, as
may lie supposed. il is highly priced
product of the whale. and is found in
the mouths of some of the cataceaus of
the high northern In itsdes. 1t would
appear that. the '.GreenIand whalers"
are now extending their sphere of cap.
ture. Seals they have been in tae
habit of killing for number of years
but at pre- cent all seems fish that comes
within killing distance; aud they bring
home Gil from a number of the minor
monsters OF the deep which in the days
of whale fishery would have b.,en left
unmolested. The right whale hav-
ing been actively hunted for q period
of over $50 years is now evidenl ly be-
coming scarce: hence the new depart
ure. The yield of bone is comparatively
small in ca. n animal; it may be put
down as be. ing, on the average, about
eight and half pounds wei yht to each
barrel of oil. he south ea or sperm
