Hanson Higgins, of Lafayette, committed suicide last Saturday by shooting himself with 'i nh'- B" ative to it the Oregonuw says: He placed the muzzle between his eyes, cocked the piece with his foot and pulled the trigger with his toe. The ball took effect in the wider of the forehead, and ranging back, tore through the brain and buried itself in the pillow. Literally, the top of Higgins' head was almost blown off.

The necessity tor the immediate commencement ot this work is apparent to a 1 ship-owners laud shippers; but there iR still greater advantage to be derived by the State which is rot generally known. The only harbor now in Southern Oregon is Coos Bay, which possesses all the advantages required for shipment tor vessels of five or six hundred tons burden. Vessels of a larger class cannot cross the bar. At Port Orford,, when the breakwater is finished, the Great Bittern could enter and ship a cargo without any expense for pilotage or tonnage. The com pletion of this work would be sim ultaneous with the completion of a narrow-gauge road from Koseburg, the present terminus of the Oregon and California Railroad, the ad vantage of such a means of ship ping the produce of Southern Oregon is apparent to all."

Colyer is the man who robbed the stage near Snake river some two weeks asjo, and acknowl edges the fact, lie pointed out the spot where he had cached two gold bars, valued at over$l,200. Uolyeif is thought to be a little weakmimled. K. H. Eggleston writes from Cornucopia district, Nevada, that the mines there are the poorest the writer has ever seen to create such excitement, and instead of the "horn of plenty" as the name denotes, it is "plenty in a horn." On the 16th, a man in San Fran cisco, named Mcllvaine, fell out ot a window from the fourth story of the West End Hotel, struck a gas lamp and shivered it to atoms, got up and walked away with a broken nose. No other injuries. It was accidental. Burglars broke into the railroad office at llalsey on last Sunday night. They got nothing. himself unaule to talk only in a whisper. He was present at a lire at Dallas, wli'ch occurred at that place at that time, and became overheated by his exertions and cooling off too suddenly, it was supposed that was the cause of his losing his voice.
