return, as the object OF her visit to min
lister to the wants OF the afflicted, ha.
ceased to exist.
The funeral services OF the late.Robert
Mack was largely attended by relatives
and friends Of the deceased, at odd Eel,
lows Hall, last Sunday. The last. sad
rites were very impressive, being well
calculated to cause Odd Fellows, As
well as others, to be better prepared for
the day that awaits us all; for man is
mortal, and his body, with his imper-
iections, must be buried meath the clods
Of the valley while his virtues are re-
membered by the living.
Mr. Ellison and niece, Mrs. Young.
OF Lamar, Mo, are now making 4 tour Of
! inspection OF the Sound, Olympia seem
ingly being their preference. They have
visited Florida, California, and many
other States, and say Washington Terri
tory is away ahead OF any place they
have yet seen. They should be satisfied,
after making the above-named circuit,
Tor they were not many hundred miles
from where DeSoto sought to discover the
tabled Eldorado-the Spring OF Per-
petual Youth.
st. Peters Hospital now contains six
teen patients, who are all convalcscins.
Everything In the premises is neat, clean
and comfortable, rejecting great credit
on Sister Benedict and associate sisters
in charge. Sister Enumeration is now in
Portland, purchasing complete stock of
drugs, and everything intended to en-
! nance the best interests of the hospital
will be added. Mr.. +. +. Pringle, of
whom mention WAS made i'll past issues,
will doubtless be able to walk on
crutches in very few days. Much
more could be said of this excellent in
stitution, but space forbids.
Mr.. Robert Louverin, OF this county,
has just returned from business visit of
several months at Minneapolis. He re-
ports the city as exceedingly active, not
withs'anding the severe winter just
closed, and the prevalence of cyclones in
proximity that fills the people at times
with serious apprehensions as to the
safety OF their realty. A lot that Mr.. L..
formerly owned in " Minneaps," and
which he sold several years ago for few
hundred dollars, is valued in the hum
dreds of thousands by it's present pos
SCISSOR. Mr.. l.. feels, of course, that he
has lost grand opportunity for making
fortune, but that has not not impaired
his love for our Territory and its unap-
proachable climate.
The Code Commissioners met at the
Capitol last Monday, and organized by
electing Mr. Snively Chairman. No ac-
ton was taken for the selection of a
Clerk, and as the Commission has adj
journed to the 22d of April, the numerous
applicants for that position are still
hanging on the ragged edge of uncer-
tainty and despair. The Commission
have arranged to correspond with the
cOdifiers of the laws OF other States and
Territories, and invite the cooperation
and assistance of the bar in preparing a
code that will be as near perfect as
possible. II is reported that the Ban
croft-Whitney ACCOMPLISHING company
of San Francisco have made a PROPOSE
ton to print the report Of the Commits
sion soon as it is completed, without
waiting for its adoption by the t.egisla-
ture.
Mrs. Brinkerhof. Of Fargo, Dakota, a
sister of A. B. ltabheson, Esq, has, with
ilci sui, uccu NlsltlilS IcIttNeS III tIliS
place the past fortnight. She spent sew
eral weeks in Southern California before
she came northward, and visited that dis
trict which has become SO famous for 81
gantic bOoms-San Jose andits environs.
She says there are indubitahle evidences
that the extraordinary and prolonged ex-
citement over real estate speculation is
gradually subsiding that it has already
ruined many people who. having caught
that fever, invested their all in real
estate at tho extravagently inflated
values which have prevailed so many
months. Many OF those who have
escaped disaster she thinks will find
their way northward, where that great
and constantly impending misfortune,
the drought, does not prevail, Water is
the great desidesa,im In all parts Of
Southern California, and every drop has
q commercial value that people is more
favored regions can scarcely realiz. :
Mrs. b. is lady of intelligence and OBJ
servation, and her opinions arc worthy
of respect.
