Cattle, sheep, horses and pack-trains are dying with great rapidity. All through NIco let, Kemloops, Akanagan aud LUloget the destruction of stock Is going on.

A Connecticut lawyer at Bridgeport, the other day took exception to a judge's ruling that some evidence was inadmis sible. He said, " I know that it is prop er evidence. Here I have been practis ing at the bar forty years, and now I want to know if I am a fool V" "IThat, is a question of fact and not of law, and so I won't pass upon it, but will let the jury decide," quietly replied the court.

C, March 17, 1880. So large are the receipts now from cus toms that Congress will be likely to make prodigal expenditures for purposes hereto fore Becured hardly legitimate subjeota of any expenditure at all. Up to tbe 16th of this month thirteen millions bad been re ceived, which is far in advance of any simi lar period since 1873. Tbe "conscience fund" at tbe Treasury yesterday received larger accessions than ever before in a single day, f 2500 was the amount. Tbe House is discussing tbe government Printing office, and the paymout of speoial Deputy Marshals, and the long-delayed political debate may be had ou tbeso sub jects. Tbe Democrats desire to legislate the Government Printer out of office, and give control of tbe printing to tbe Senate. Tbey also desire to pass a bill for tbe pay ment of Marshals, aud Deputy Maiubala, without making provisions for tbe "spe cial" or election Marshals, aud tbe Repub licans will aetagonize both propositions. In tbe Senate Committee of elections all the Democrats favor the seating of Mr. Stafford as Senator from Louisiana and all tbe Republicans desire 'to continue Mr. Kellogg In bis seat. This will give the Benate a chance to talk politics to its hearts content. Tbe Representatives of far West ern States are now opposing the settlement of the Ute question proposed by Scbure. Tbey are determined that no Indian shall have a legal settlement in Colorado in any State where the whites are crowding. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury llaw loy baa resigned, many reasons ate given for tills resignation, the most probable of which is that be Is a eaudidate fur the Re publican nomination of Governor of Illi nois, and deems it bis duty to himself and friends, to give more time to tbe canvass, than he could while connected with tbe Treasury Department. The Treasury loses one of Its most faithful and efficient officers. It has beeu decided to appoint Hon. J. K. Upton to the vacant place. This Is strictly a civil servloe appointment. Mr. Upton was appointed a first class clerk in 1803, and has risen by succession steps to his present exalted position. As Chief Clerk ho was very popular, and his advancement meets with favor both inside and out the Department. Olive. Miscellaneous News Items.

Hurget, a porter of the hotel, were arrested last week on a charge of purloining the valuables of tbe guests during tbe fire which destroyed tbe build ing on Tuesday morning.

The veils aud wraps worn by them readily conceal their movements and disarm suspicion. They have in a little box two mirrors set at right angles. Sikg Biku, N. Y.. March 13.
