The long contest for the 3lass
chusett's Senatorship ended on the
Kill, by the election ot W. B.

and' will probably fill tbe position
creditably.

Louis At; hsiz, Tkaoiikr,
This was the heading of his simple

Severe Winter on Stock.
The-unusual severity ot the past
Winter in Southern Oregon has
proved most disastrous to stock in
terests there. A,: correspondent of
the Jacksonville Sentinel, writing
from Linkville under date of April
9th, says that "Spring is with us
again after one hundred and four
teen day of sleet j snow, frost ; ahd
hail." to give some ides of the
effects of. such .weather upoji the
stock in that section of the Slate,
this correspondent gives the follow

This shows a. loss of 8,107 sheep,
or a fraction over 42 per cent. A
careful estimate places the loss of
cattle at about 20 per cent. Horses
have done well and comparatively
few haw died. The Winter was
equally, severe in House Lake, Sur
prise and; Warner valleys. The

great in the Spraguc river .country.

Some of the San Carlos Apaches
have been killed and a good many
have surrendered. If it had, not
been for the prompt and efficient
aetwn of Gen. Crook, we should,
up doubt, have had a protracted
Indian war. We have received no
cquip'aints from Souora for some

AN IOWA BOY HORRIFIES A REUO
IOUS ASNKM11LAOR 11V PKCtAB(NG
, WIS DESIIIB TO GO TO THE DEVIL.
The physical heroism displayed
by Casabiaiica in remaining upon a
burning deck, whence all but he
had rled, is snriassed by the moral
gallantry ot an Iowa youth, who,
in the face of an extraordinary
opposition, stood alone by the
standard ot a leader, whose M low
ers are numerous though his friends
are few. Casabianca had but to
endure a few moments of flame
torture, waiting for the coming of a
burst of thunder loud to scatter his
little body about as food for fishes
and translate his soul to the king
dom of heaven ; while the Iowa lad
voluntarily stood out against the
appeals of his pastor and the frowns
of his, godly neighbors, to declare
in the sanctuary that he wanted to
go to hell. The difference in the
degree of Casabiauca's heroism and,
that of the Iowa lad is just the
difference lictween a temporary and
an etert.nl roasting. The devilV
dutftui follower resides in Wright
county. Tliere the revivalist had
been wield ing his sickle on a ripened
field, gathering the harvest into the
granary of the Master. But a
some shea veis in the actual harvest
fall by the wayside and are lost,
and some escape the sickle ami
stand until deavh destroy litem, so,
in this spiritual harvest, the !ad
was not garnered. At one of the
Lord's husking-bees the v leader
asked all the workers who hoped
to go to hea von to arise. It was
an invitation to which saint or
sinner might respond, and all arose,
save onethe heroic lad who would
rather die than desert hip colors,
lie occupied a seat dose to the
god'y agriculturist heaven's only
(iranger-rwho led the Iwsts, but
he budged not. To assure himself
that the lad was really perverse
and cared not to troop with aogel
and twang npon a harp, the Lord's
Patron of Husbandry bade ' the
congregation resume their seats,
and then proposed that all1 Who
wanted to gb to hell should' rise.
Slowly, solemnly, the lad came to
his feet; stolidly, in tlie presence of
the elect, he stood there, sole can
didatc for the dominion of the
devil. The good people were1 so
shocked at the apparent depravity
ot the boy that they grew, alarm
ingly excited, and the meeting, at
one lime so calm in the confidence
of inhering heaven, broke ,up, with
something of the wild disorder of
an Episcopal Convention.. The
next , day the boy was arrested
charged with disturbing a religious
meeting, but his friend, tho devil,
prompted the magistrate before
whom he was arraigned to lake
such a view of the case as 'secured
his acqiiittal. The magistrate re
marked that the evidence pointed
tothe fact that the congregation
were given the option of standing
6r keeping their, sea W. accordihg as
tfieyprefer(a(heairiorhell. The
bulk of the meeting were bent on
bliss, and, rose, to express their
preference. , A, fraotSon-r very
fraction indicated hi? wish, hav
ing oecu invited to do so. If 3isu
order resulted, he was not legally
respor vilile. It he wanted to go
to hei', the laws of Iowa would
not interfere. Set at liberty, he
now placidly awaits the hot comer
which a hospitable and grateful
devil will provide tor him.

We lenr:i from an exchange that
"the Legislature of Massachusetts
has lately passed a law making it
ncccssan that a dozen eggs weigh
one ami one-half pounds." We
approve ot this. The hens have
too long I'itd their own way in this
business flaying egsrs, and they
ha o constantly defrauded tlie pub
lic It f high time this outrageous
m nofi" y was crushed, and we are
glad thai, the Legislature of Mas
sachnse'ts is going to do it. It free
Americ-tii citizens are to be imposed
niKin with impunity by debauched
and con opt chickens, the govern
meiit (or which William Pcnn
fought and John Hancock died is
a disgraceful failure. Hereafter
Massac' nsetts hens will either have
to lay two-ounce eggs or emigrate.
The p jple will submit to their
tyranny no longer. They have
borne i Ue yoke until it has became
unendurable. They denounce pres
ent prices for present eggs as
eggst tio'n ; of hens they demand
a refcrm, with the determination to
draw up this chicken bill and pullet
thro'..:!) tho Legislature.

insteai! of looking out on the sky,
thrust his head through the glass
Window of a cupboard. "Bless

singular weather. The night is as
