Willison, the preacher, just sentenced to the pen! tentiary lor 18 years for a multiplicity of forgeries, has already been trying her persuative powers oil Governor Pen noyer, in an ellort to secure a pardon. This doubtlebs accounts for Willison keeping up his spirits so well in the Portland jail, on the day he was sen tenced. Willison remarked in the courtroom to Judge Stephens, at the close of his speech, just before sentence was pronounced, that all he had left in the world was the love of a devoted wife. If his new wife is as true to him as his daughter, Willison has reason to yet have hopes for the future. A Miserly Beast. The woodrat is a nuisance familiar to our farmers, on ac count of his chronic disposition to accumulate to much business activity. Years ago, on the Clackamas, all the silver soup and teaspoons, knives and forks, the treasured possessions of a family running a logger's boarding shanty, disappeared one by one, fol lowed by small bottles and other trifles. A neighboring family was accussd of the theft. A logger returned ono day from his work through a grove of tall, young firs. Looking up, he perceived in one of them an enormous nest. His curi osity was excited and be concluded to chop it down. As it began to crack and sway, several wood rats scrambled out of it gronndward, and as it full there was a shower of jingling silverware. Every article that had disappeared from the boarding shanty was found in the nest and in addition jackknives, silver teaspoons and other articles of personal properly for which the owner could not be found .These rodents will tote to their nest potatoes, clothes, nuts, and other imaginabie object that they can lug, but why Nature implanted in them this instinct of accumulation, which, in many of its manifestations, is so foolish and a wanton taste of energy that might be used by the rat either in drumming with his tail or iu refreshing sleep in a warm nest, is a subject for the study of naturalists.
