much to the appearance of our village,
besides it is sureiy needed at this time.

Wm. Schatz came nearly suffering the
loss of a hand a few days since. Mr-
Schatz was trimming his fruit trees
when ha made a stroke with his ax
which cut the cords of the left wrist
almost in twain and also cut through
into the artery. Summoning assistance
he was taken to Tualatin, when the
round was dresced and the flow of
htnod stormed bv Dr. Taylor. His hand
till has a numb sensation and it will
be sometime yet before he regains suf
ficlent strength of cords to use his hands
and fingers to grasp and hold anything.
The cutting of the cords in his left wrist
so Mr. Schatz says, takes the strength
out of bis right hand also, causing a
sensation similar to that in the crippled
member.
Tbe Literary society was well attend

of our ablest speakers it was decided lu
favor of the affirmative. Now boys, if
you wish great pleasure out of life (not
in) just pitch in and use all the tobacco
you can possible get away with and you
will, undoubtedly, be blessed with much
joy in the world to come.
