YES! -Chapter of Patriotic Accidents. t)ne of the twin 3-year old daughters xi Samufl Francis, who reeides at Ely, was severely burned while playing with firecrackers on Thursday evening. She, with several other little girls was play ing in the backyard with firecrackers, when her clothing caught on lire from a lighted match and she was severely burned abnut the breast, before tier mother arrived on the scene and extin guished the flames. Dr. Strickland was fummoned, and after the next day the little girl was pronounced out of dangur. Almont Newell, son of A. Newell, of Damascus, on the afternoon of July 4th, concluded that firecrackers were not making enough patriotic noise for the -occasion, and tried the plan of lighting mall pieces of fuse inserted in giant powder caps. . Everything went off smoothly for awhile until one of the children piaced a lighted firecracker on his hat, and when his attention was called to it he brushed it off with a stick of fuse attached to a giant powder cap, "which exploded almost blowing his right hand off at the wrist. He was brought to town and taken to the Gladstone hos pital, where Dr. Sommer amputated the hand above the wrist. Miss June, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Charman, was near some burning firecrackers, when her light dress caught on fire, but she had presence of mind enough to extinguish the. flames by roll ing in the grass. Vo'unieer Notes. Frederick W. Humphrey and Albert "Pabst, of this city, were mustered into Company M, Second Oregon Volunteers, and left for San Francisco Saturday night.

"'Leon," says the Capital Journal, "was second lieutenant of Company I, before it was merged into vJompany K, Second Kegiment, Uregon Volunteers.
