In the pres- j ent case the bet was on a result, the j election of Grant and Seymour; that re sult was known before the bet was paid over, and cannot be recovered back.

In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia "ob jection was made that the interlineation in an indictment was written in oiue idk, the instrument having been written in black ink. Judge Carter said : "Now, in this period of abolition of all distinc tion on account of color,' it appears to me that this criticism is hypercritical." A seven year old girl in Schnecks ville, Pa., set fire to her little sister's hair, and thou told her mother what ehe had done, saying she guessed Bhe would stop pulling her bair now. The mother, who had put the child to bed asleep a little while before, immediately went up, and, too horrible to state, found tho lied on . fire, her t little darling, only three years old, with the hair all singed off her head, and honibly burned. The little girl had : crawled out of bed, hut was so badly injured that she died within a few hours after the occurrence. j. ' The engine house of the Jersey coal mine, Soracton, Pa., was burned last week. One man iq tbe mine perished, three escaped. lodes recently discovered. A young man named Baker was com-' mitted to the Eugene jail, last Saturday, ior larceny, committed on the Coast fork.

Some member of the Tennessee Leg islature, having proposed the sale of Gen Thomas', portrait which hangs in the State Library, the General has offered to refund the cost of the same, and to re turn the gold medal voted him by the last Legislature. . - Tho Eugene Journal says : Several families, who are direct from the old States, arrived in Eugene a few days ago, and we believe are intending to settle here if locations can be had to suit. We understand they came by railroad to Cal ifornia, and thence by steamer to Port land." -' A letter from Jesse Appleirate is pub lished, in whieh he expresses the opinion that a route can be found running from Eugene, south across the ridge east of Spencer Butte, which will probably be better than the route up the river.: Par ties have been engaged in "ascertaining the hight of this ridge, and the amount of cutting or . tunneling which will be necessary to cross it with a road, but have not as yet finished their investiga tion. . ",?.- . I A correspondent of the " Famurr wrtt- ing auuut ri;uaieii river inu vauey, says there are lour lamilies residing in the valley at present, ntar the old govern ment crossing. Ihe valley is from one to six miles wide ; in some places in cluding branch valleys, ten miles wide. There are : about thirty head of horses and cattle in the valley this printer.

The California Medical Gazette com pliments the Oregon Medical and Surgical Reporter by saying that " if merit were always ' appreciated, : we might predict with certainty a large circulation for our contemporary journal, from the highly scientific and practical nature of its orig inal contributions. Isaac S. Geer, of Lisbon, Conn., in making some changes in a water pipe found it needful to extend one through an under drain that ran several feet below the surface. TIow to get the pipe through without taking up the drain was a prob lem. But Mr. Geer studied upon it, and after a while hit upon this admirable plan : He opened the lower end of the - . . .... drain, and catchinsr an old calico cat that had been a resident of his family for several years, attached a small line to her j leg ; then thrusting her into the end, anu giving a most unearthly '.'scat," she pop - ped out at the other end, all covered with mud and water, with the line attached to her leg, quicker than one could say Jack Kobison. The pipe was ' tnus drawn through, and Mr. Geer had the satisfac tion of saving $10-by wit, and teach ing his neighbors a good lesson in civil eugiueering. , - ' ... . . . " The Decrees of Providence. An old fable informs us that a man who was in the habit of arraigning the decrees cf Providence, beiDg seated in a garden, be gan to wonder why . such a monstrous fruit as the pumpkin should grow on a slender, slowly-creeping plant, while tho giant oak, the monarch of the forest, bore nothing bigger than an acorn. In the midst of his cogitations, an acorn fell from the tree underneath which he was sitting,; and smote him on the pate j whereupon the captious philosopher was fain to acknowledge that Providence was wiser in its arrangements than ho had previously fancied! But the moral which this story would inculcate does not ap pear to be universally applicable. In the island of Borneo, there is a forest tree as large as an elm, which produces a highly esteemed fruit called the durian. It may be observed in passing, that though this fruit has a smell like that ot putrid fish, so that a single specimen is enough to in fect a whole house, its flavor is so delic ious, that those who venture to taste it soon become confirmed dnrian eaters. The eatable portion, which consists of a rich, creamy, eustard-hke . : substance, is . en closed in a hard shell, a good deal larger than a cocoa-nut. and completely cover ed with sharp spines. When one. of these fruits fall, as it not unfrequently does, from the tight of fifty or . sixty feet upon the back of a naked native, it inflicts a most frightful wound. The ap ologue above cited,: therefore, will scarce ly hold good in Borneo- XOTWITHSTASDIXG all TIIIS i P. C. HARPER & CO.
