Farmers Can Ride and Plow, bt SEcrnixa oxe or the "GAY" lPLOWS, Manufactured and sold for the Tery low- price oi THE simplicity and practicability of this new Plow commends it favorably to the special notice of erery farmer. It possesses a decided superiority over all other plows bow in nse. The wheels are four feet in diameter, and ran on the nnplowed land. Its entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is managed in every manner with ease, and requires only two levers to be used in making any alteration. The supe riority of the "Gay' Plow will be clearly shown by the following wwrtUieate t"' v. ; ... the undersigned, citisens of Linn county, Oregon, having purchased and used upon our farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the same has given as entire satisfaction. Its facility fur adjusting to suit the depj of furrow without moving from the seat, .is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong and durable, all except the wood-work being con- siruuteu oi wrougm iron no castings are used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage over other iranir-Dlows. in striking oft" land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is always level, not throwing the driver forward or sideways as in other plows.. Better work and more of it ean be accomplished by the use of this flow man Dy nana. We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat" Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no superior in Oregon. J. G.

The scene of the following story ia located in the mountain! of Virginia ; time, fifteen years ago : . "7 We soon succeeded in fiaishing a very substantial supper, and, as we Bat around a blazing fire, each one with a cigar in his mouth, ruminatiag on the storm with out and the solid, warm comfort, within, it was proposed that, to shorten time, each one should relate some event in his life, either serious or comic, as he best saw fit. : -'Besides bur own party, consisting of six, tnere was an unknown person wbo had intruded himself upon us, but of whom we took no notice until it came to the time of Lsrkey Hughes to tell his Story. - . ?r-UsJ:; iJarkey was a tall, gaunt, lantern-jawed specimen, hailing from "down East, "who had remained perfectly silent while tbe rest of us were telling our stones, bis chief occupation seemed to be trying to discover who the stranger was. Before commencing his story, he went to the door and locked it, putting the key in his coat pocket ; and then apolo gising for his strange conduct, but prom ising to explain it satisfactorily before he finished his story, he commenced : "Three years ago, gentlemen, I had occasion to travel over these mountains on business, and as I had te journey away from tbe stsge roads, I pursued my way on horseback, with a small valise strapped on the back of my saddle, ia which I had a good sum of money for those days. "It was an evening very much like this, in this same month-, that I stopped at this same house to escape the storm. "Ihe landlord was extremely obsequi ous in attending to my wants, and after our smoke, after supper, he requested me to join him in drinking a' bottle of wine.-tt i t.. i --?'; i ? .M-i-wi; ;;;'-:-".a ; "Being a belated traveler, and nothing loth, I readily consented ; and very soon we bad succeeded in disposing ot six bottles in place of one. ' "As might be expected, after taking so much wine, I became very talkative ; and my host soon knew as much, of my business auairs as 1 did myself. And. of eourse, among other facts, he became aware that roy small valise, contained a large sum of money, r i: . .. . iuy host kindly volunteered to take care ot my, pagge, if. I would leave it with him ; but, although I had taken too much wine, still I , knew enough, to de cline his magnanimous offer- .: And wish ing him good night, I took my valise in hand and went to my appointed room., , , "I had taken enough , of the wine to make me feel very nervous; so that I found it difficult to compose myself, and my feelings were not at all unproved by the impreseion.,1 received from my host. "He was an Italian, and had that foreboding look of a desperate character: and the beauty of his face was not at all improved by a long scar across his right temple ; the .thumb of his right hand was gone also ; so that his general Ap pearance was not, to say the least, at all prepossessing ; he looked-as if he would as soon commit a murder as smoke a cigar. , "After I had undressed, I placed my valise and pistol under my pillow; And then, having carefully, as I thought, ex amined every nook and corner . of the room, to see that there was: no danger of intrusion, X bud myself down, but I could not sleep; the wine, instead of having a narootie effect, . produced the contrary, and the recollections of my host had put my Diooa to rover neat. "I must have been lying in this troubled fstate for several hours, when I was sure I heard , some, noise apparently under . my bed, or under the floor neat my bed. ' "At first I thought it was the result of my feverish brain ; but, after collecting my scattered senses, and calmly thinking a few moments. I felt convinced tl.at I did hear a'noise of some kind.. . And so, taking my pistol from, under my pillow,. I quietly cocked it under the clothes, bo as te make no noise ; and then, lying on my back, -with my Tight arm. streteaed out to its full length, and the pistol firm ly grasped irr-my hand, awaited any re sult. :--y- " The noise now became more distinct, and I could plainly hear some one draw back a bolt.' I quietly turned my eyes towards the door, to see if any move was made tnere ; but Hardly bad I turned ay head, when I was sure that I saw the rug in front ot the fireplace move. : ; "In an instant I saw a trapdoor, which had been most'eririeasly concealed by, ift Vl.1 J . l it l T. ir L' . ;.... - t w..ijpMMwwssgi ssiiastgi r, wvi a dark lantern partially, opened. jA, . "I held my breath until he got i nto tho room and began te look around when I saw, by the light of his lantern, that he also had a desperate looking knife in his hand, and, knowing that X would be the object of his butchery,: I carefully , lifted my hand from under the covering, as his back was turned partially towards me, and fired. : "vV '"The instant I fired, the scoundrel fell, i-i jumped up, put on cay elethes, ami, after-taking a quick look at the body, to see whether I had killed hira or not, I took: his lantern and left the nouse. si--,-- . -..i:i:-s;n w;. - "I thought I had killed him, as the mark of my bullet was to be seen on the left side of his head; ifhad torn off" tho lower part of his ear; but when I returned the next morning,' there was Bogtrace of tbe villain. ..... ,.;. r.i;, . "Did you ever hear of him since?" asked one of the party. "No, gentlemen, I never saw him since until to-night." . , , - - . . As .
