GAY" PLOWS,
Manufactured and sold fur the very low price ol
S$5? and 8$T5.
THE kimpiicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice or every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plowrnow in use. ' The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on tbe
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. ; Xne plow is-managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. Tbe supe
riority of the 'Gay" Plow wilVbe clearly shown
by the following certificate v '
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction.. Its facility
for adjusting to suit tbe depth 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
structed of wrought iron no ' eastings are used.
Ibe wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking" off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the Machinery, and the seat is
always level, not tnr-wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand. - .
AVe take pleasure in recommending the "Gay"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon.

Circus. Friday night of last week,
our people had the pleasure of attending
the best circus performance ever bad in
these parts. There could not bej abso
lutely, a single objection urged against
the "Show,", while the bill. .'of; entertain
ment was so much better and so, greatly
differed from former exhibitions, that it
met with immense an merited applause.
The trio of violinists just capped any
thing we ever saw, and was alone worth
the price of admission. ; Nelson's Circus
will return this way again in a few weeks,
when those who want to get their mon
ey's worth should put in an appearance.
Campmeeting. The Methodist camp-
meeting, held in a aense fir grove on the
Calirjooia river, some three rnilCg- fretu
this city, opened on the 7th. The attend
ance of last Sabbath, -was immense it
seemed to be a general turn out of the
people from every direction. Up to Mon
day night there had been eight additions
to the church.;; The meeting will be con
tinued until Monday next, if not longer.
. Match Hace. The match race over
the Fair Ground track on last Monday,
for five hundred bushels of wheat,between
George Lewis bay mare, Snip, and Levi
Turner's sorrel mare, Blaze, came off as
announced. The distance run was 1 mile,
and. both animals acquitted themselves
well" making first rate time. Z?uwon
the race by twenty feet.
' Finable. On last Sabbath, within a
few yards of the outskirts of the camp
ground, a number of men and boys were
enjoying a bath in the Calipooia. This
of course was in direct - contravention of
the laws of decency and good , behavior,
and a committee was appointed to call
them to an account." 'We are charitable
enough to suppose the youngsters were
thoughtless in committing such a gross
violation of the law, and that hereafter
they will take care to go at least one mile
from the grounds'-when they wish '1 to
bathe. A heavy fine can be imposed on
all who committed such a breach of -the
peace as that of last Sabbath.

SotTHEEir Oregon. From the J ack
Bonville Nevi of the 9th inst. we' get the
following list of accidents in that! locality:
On last Wednesday a little oori of Mr;
J. R. Taylor, of Sam's valley,, fell from a
wagon and dislocated his shoulder. : The1
joint was readjusted the; following day,
and the boy is all. right.1
On Wednesday week, near Flounce
Rock, two of Mr. Uriah Gordon's little
daughters were bitten by a rattlesnake.
They were crossing m oat field with their
father, who was in advaneof when 4lid
foremost girl exclaimed, "Oh, 1 I've snag
ged my loot ;" and the second girl,. step
ping in the same place, uttered the samd .
exclamation. - . Both were barefooted, and
both were struck on the same foot, just
below the ankle bone. , la a moment
their tongues began to swell, vomiting"
pommenced, and the eldest had to be car-
ried home. ;.Tbey were iaade,to drink
freely of good whisky, while poultices of
rattlesnake weed were applied to the
wounds. They suffered severely for
several days, but are now recovering.
A little seven year old boy, son ol J.
N. Wooly, who resides near Phoenix, on
the 1st inst., ascended a tree to reach a
crow's nest. ' Upon reaching the nest the'
little fellow's hold broke, and he fell to
the ground, a distance of forty feet,
breaking bis thigh. His mind was de.
ranged for several days, but the1 attend-"
ing surgeon informs us that his mind is
all right again, and that ho is doing well.
On the 2d, at the copper7 mines on the
Illinois river, in Josephine' county, Chris
Dore, in the attempt to drag . hiv gnu
from a boat, by . the muzzle, discharged
it, the contents carrying away the bone
of the right arm. . The arm was amputa
ted at the shoulder, on the 3d. -
A man who had just "come the plains
across,,' drove off the bridge over Wall's
creek, below Rock Point, and broke botb
bones of hia right leg, just above tho

1. Simplicity of construction and operation.

It is so simple in its construction and in its
werkmgs, tbat less than half the time is required
to learn to knit on it than on others. With it the
children of the household can do all the knitting.
It is made entirely of iron and steel. A man's
sock can .be made in thirty minute. . It makes
the regular old old-fashioned knitting needle

turns tne neet, roaaing it ot as good sbape as by
band, wunout any sewing ) narrows or widens,
at the pleasure of the operator, and makes a per
fect toe. Any article that eaa be knit by hand,
can be manufactured on this machine. . -Persons

tion, are requested tc caU on tne agent ia this city.

tence, that one of the jurors who bad
found tbe verdict -should be sworn ' and
examined as to the manner in which bo
had acted in" tbe jury-room, and as to
why be had signed tbe rerdicL The
result was that a man named W. D. Corn
stock swore, although he had .takes an
oath to render a true verdict, and aid
sign a verdict of guilty, tbat he did not
believe them guilty, and ho signed the
verdict because the rest of tbe jury (tho
eleven obstinate men) had agreed to sign
a rtquest for their pardon. It need not
be said that there was a sensation in
Court. Thes Judee confessed, himself
astounded, and asked the simple minded
juror if he knew" anything about the
crime of perjury, besides .addressing to
him some wholesome counsel for the
future'. Of course, the verdict was set
aside, and the prisoners remanded to wait

A WnsniRitit, T)na'.K mentleman
in Oswego who has a dog valued in the
family as a pet, relates a strange inci
dent of the power to charm and fascinate,
common reptiles, but rather extraordina
ry among quadrupeds.-- Recently the
kitchen girl , eaw thia dog -seated . on
bis haunches with one forepaw lifted,
eyeing a rat under a cupboard, in some
room contiecting'the house. ; The rat also
bad his eye fixed on the dogt and after
watching them a few moments, tbe girl,
thinxing it 6trango, called some ; of tbe
family, who, interested to see how. this
curious circumstance would turn out,
came and stood quietly. by. For half an
hour these animal maintained the same
position, being six or eight feet apart.
At the end Of that time the rat slowly
and trembling with fear, began to ap
proach tbe dog; their eye still fixed on
each other immovably. Contmuuig to
creep up, when within a couple of feet,
tbe dog torung and catching the rat,
quickly disposed of him. It was after
wards discovered that the : hole in the
wall through, which the ra eame wa
immediately back ef where he was first
seen. This occurrence is vouched for on
tbe moat reliable testimony, and is one
of tbe most singular instance of "$aim.
