Rill WatklnJi In Court. Superintendent Downing Satur day discharged the irrepressible Bill Watkinds from the penitentiary, where ho was employed as corral Kuard. The reason of tho discharge was that tho cx-polilical boss of democracy had submitted to the grand jury a number of vnguo and unwarranted charges against tho management of tho penitentiary' ly the present superintendent, In which, It is needless to ay there was no truth. Meeting Wntklndson the street Saturday afternoon, Mr. Downing arraigned hira and inquir ed whv.he had noted as ho did. One word called for another until finally! they would havo Joined forces had it not beon for tho timely Interposi tion of Marshal Ross. Ho was do lied by Watkinds, and tho result was that tho amlcabio William soon found himself in the warm embrace of that cfUcor, who assisted him to the jug where he had ample tlmo to reflect over tho paradox of human "fe, and to answer to the chargo of disorderly conduct. He was balled "Ut Saturday evening to appear be f'Ti Recorder Btrickler this morn-!-' Th amount of his fine and 'ts was $12.80. Yesterday morning the neighbors of John Hughes, who lived about one and a quarter miles north of Salem on the Howell Prairie road, noticed that there were no signs of itle about tho old man's home, and kuowing his condition wondered If ail were well. The morning was cool and yet no smoke circled from the chimney aud about four o'clock in the afternoon an investigation was made by Mr. Steiner and Fisher Boyce who found tho corpse of the old man lying in the door of his house. They at onco notified the authorities and Coroner Bylnnd was telegraphed for. By the time the coroner arrived the remains had been removed to Botan's under taking rooms when a jury was im paneled aud an investigation in stituted. The inquest developed the facts that the man came to his death be tween nino and three o'clock Sun day from natural causes, viz: filth and starvation. It is impossible to imagine a more loathsome sight than that ofthecmaciated,shrunken, filthy body as it lay before thu coroners jury, whose verdict was as follews: We, the coroner's jury, impaneled by the coroner of Marion county, to inquire iuto the causeof the death of JohnsHughes, find that the said John Hughes camo to his death from natural causes. Robert Fokd, Louis Millkh, ' Clint Hall, T. F. Andkkson, Jap Mixto, Ciias. Ooli:. Tiie dead is about sixty years of age, an old batchelor, a painter by trade, and has been considered of unsound mind for many years. He leaves quite a little propeity, but has no relatives so far as known, although some parties remember to have heard him speak of some brothers at Cleveland, Ohio. On' his person three pocket knives were found and near him an ax and the supposition is that he expired in an ellbrt to reach the wood pilo to get some wood or kindlings. Tho body when found was lying half in and half out of the door, thinly clad in reeking garments that had matted to his skin and which he had worn no doubt for years and years. Requiescat in pace.

Mrs. Elia Brooks, whoso death occurred on October 11th, at Mount Tabor, was bom in Wallingford, Conn., November 8th, 1801. Her maiden name was Humcrlou. In 1S19 the family removed to Ohio by wagon. On arriving at Detroit tho family with their effects took pass.igo on the steamer "Walk-in the-water," which was tho first steamer to run on the lakes, and disembarked at Freeport on Lake P JlIU illlll BUlUVll 111 U1U Wl'SlUllI JIU1 t of Ohio. At tho age of twenty-two she was married to Liniuis Brooks, and in 1839 they moved westward to Illinois, where they remained until 1850, when they made tho long voyage across thu plains to Oregon, settling on tho old home stead now known as Brooks. In 1853 she was one of tho first to apply for membership in tho Con gregational church wnich had been organized but the year before with four members. Willi others tho membership was Increased in 1853 to sixteen. During her whole life she lived a consistent and worthy member aud with her husband nlded greatly In helping forward the work of tno church. Slio leaves mauy friends aud relatives to mourn the close of a useful life. Ittrballtt ItUale Riddled. This is a short story of a falllu preacher. Saturday Win. Anderson, familiarly known as Bill, following the bent of his inclination, apicarcd on thoetredt with his plug hat gaily bedecked With if variegated band oh which stood out in bold relief the the words, "Fisk and Brooks." This attracted Rev. Riddle, ono of tho managers of the Marlon gospol tent, and Incited him to excitement. He stationed hlmselfln front of Ander son's place aud boldly denounced the liquor traffic, saloons, and saloon keepers and waxed jxtMonuI In his vituperative wroth. The genial Bill, forbearance no longer being a vlrtuo, tendered tho Rev. Riddle a blow upon tho apox of the cranium which laid the reverend gentleman low. Anderson' arrest was a matter of but a fow momenta and this morning he called on the re corder and deposited the sum of 136.06, as a guarantee of good faith. Ztfttt Btorttr Strlrller. Under the vagrant act the follow ing piece of humanity wore taken lu and sentenced as foltewn: James Riley 15 days, Pat Knilth 16 days, Fred Tanbwg 17 days, John Mans- neldltfuayg auu ueo. vmrrg days. The pulpit of the Congregational church yesterday eveuing was oc cupied by Rev. W. B. Williams of Chehalis, V. T., a member of the Presbyterian synod, who preached to a full Iioum? upon "Doing and Knowing the will of God." It was a remarkably line discourse and was listened to with cloo attention and interest. Ills text was John 7, 17: 'If any man will do his will, ho shall know the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself." Mr. Williams said that all branches or knowledge havo their mysteries; were it not so every ell'oit to a further investigation of them would bo at an end. No eienco has reached its eulmluation. Man searching after knowledge is like one climbing a range of mountains; the peak, which stands right before him seems to bo the highest, but when he gets to the top of that lie finds another a little faither on which is still higher. So when one discovery after another Is made anothei mystery presents itself to tho mind, challenging investigation. The same is true In regard to moral and religious sciences. Everything is a mystery to a person until lie himself understands It. To the mind of a child, tho simplest truths are great mysteries, bo what Is a mystery to oue may not bo a mystery to another. But man is capable of advancement in knowl edge. Jesus hero gives the key to all knowledge that doing is tho best way of acquiring knowledge. He who strives most to do tho will of God is he who understands best what the will or God is. The principle here taught is illustrated by ordinary things of life, as for ex ample tho way a child Is taught to read, how a man learns his trade, and how a musician learns to play on an instrument. Tho same is true in regard to all sciences. So In regard to religion. The best way to understand tho teacliingsof Christ is by putting them into practice in our own life. How can I know whether the Blblo is a revelation of God's will to mo or not? Just as you know whethor a machlno will work as the agent tells you It will by trying It. How can f know whether God loves mo? Simply by selling my own Iieatt to love him. Tho more we love God thu more of his love we shall cxpeiienco in our own heaits, just as the nuno a man pumps tho more water hediawsotit of a well. If you want to know what forgiveness of sins is, repent of your own sins. If you want to know whether you nro a child of God or not, keep his commandments. Unbelief urges objections against Chiistianity which may just as crtiuciitly Iks urged against tho most common things in life. If you want to know the flavor of a ccitaiu kind of fruit, you must taste it. Yet many expect to know thu llavor of divine love without tasting it. Experimental knowledge in all tilings is more valuable than a mere theoretical knowledge. 1IOKN. KAHHKN. In sulem, Saturday, Oct. II, WW, to tlio wlfr or Jiiiihw 1'itrieu, a boy. ut'lKtit, U pound.
