Hall, who resides on Russian river, about a mile from Geyserville, started to Petaluma in :i two horse wagon on Friday of last week to procure a band tor the party at Donson anil Sweeney's. He stop ped at Mr. Low's for some one to join him. While Hall sat in the wagon the lightning; struck a tree near by. the horses dropped dead, and Hail fell from his scat stunned, and. for the time, lifeless. He was not, however, seriously hurt. The horses had been newly shod with steel pointed shoes. They were struck about the shoulders; the lightning passed over them and ex hausted it- force on a stump near by, about the loot ot which some old iron lav. The horses were valued at .s"2"iO. A subscription was afterwards taken up tor Mv. Hall's benefit. I r seems to be eou-idered in Europe or at least in England and Germ-airy, that the late Democratic victories in Ohio and Indiana mean repudiation. I or that they indicate a popular leaning in that direction. As a consequence German and English capitalists appear ! to be getting alarmed in regard to their investments Jta America n securities. There is no just ground fa- this alarm, for it is not at ail probable that the people of any State will practically j sanction either repudiation or semi-rc- i pudiati in which wotdd be involved in the refusal to pay the bonds in golfl. At the same time it is not greatly to he j wondered at that foreigners, not under- j standing the intricacies of our polities ' or the mysteries of a ''platform-niak-ing,'" -houlil become alarmed at certain i of the flanks" i:i western nlatforras. and at the utterances of some of our Democratic stump speakers. A very interesting experiment was lately made in England. In- which a small yacht was propelled by the action of wrought iron electro-magnets upon cogged eastiron wheels attached to the shaft of a screw propeller, and attached by wires to a battery in the engine room. Contact was made aud broken by levers worked by cam-, which kept the magnets alternately in vivid action and reliction, by which the motion was continuous. If one was to take a nod many things for granted, it would bo worth while speculating upon the probable effect on the coal market should this motor be utilized for ma rine purposes: but until the experiment get- fairly beyond the small yacht, pri ces will prObably remain as they are. A Decatur mechanic claim- in have discovered the principal of perpetual ipotion. The name of the mechanic i ;eo. E. Patterson, and the Magnet and Tribune writes as follows concern tug him and his maehhn : "When he began hi- machine, he held no idea of perpetual motion, but entertained the idea of inventing an evener for a sew ing machine something that would work alike on thick and thin cloth. After getting his machine to work, he discovered that by a few changes the motion would continue. All day he worked busily at his trade, and in the quiet hours of the night, he labored to develop the idea. Success crowned lnfe efforts. Perpetual motion was be fore him in active play. In two month he will give a public display of the mo tion and its power. Mr. Patterson says he is actually ashamed to show the machine on account ol its simplic ity. He says everybody will say : "I'shav.-. why did'nt I think of that? Irs power is immense, giving thirty pounds to every ounce of friction, it rill this is true. Mr. Patterson will have the gratitude of an admiring world . They occasionally get hold of the wrong man in Kansas when they are hunting tor a horse thief, but they do the fair thing with the widow. They give her a lot in the graveyard, buy the coffin, and march in procession, sing ing ''John Brown's body." After that they make up a purse, buy her a shot-gun and two dogs for her to make a. living with. A Minnesota paper says a great many farmers in Bridge water county have been obliged to dispose of their flocks of sheep, the wolves becoming so plentiful that sheep-raising cannot be carried oti successfully. Sheep hus bandry had been a very extensive and profitable industry in that section till this unaccountable increase of wolves. A young lady of Chicago says there is no woman living who could interest her with a lecture on "'kisses." She says she could get more satisfaction from the lips of a young man on a moonlight night than a woman could tell in a thousand years. TheJRepresentatives inTllinoLs were chosen by a plan of commolative vot ing, three iu each district. 3fl0 1) uluaht The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Breslau was deprived of his income by the Emperor of Germany . The tax lttfil lectors, however, demanded from him his usual income tax. which he declined to pay because he had no in come. TheGerman Minister, to whom the matter was referred, rendered this decision: That the Archbishop of Breslau tool charged on the books of the Treasury with so much salary: that if it had been witlilield by 'the; Minister of Public Worship, the act' was in the nature of a penalty; tiiat constructively the salary lias been paid, and the usual income lax must be ! levied. And levied it was, and paid besides. Mark Twain Las resolved not to , "jgftd around" any more, and talk sense ' and nonsense from lecture platforms. 1 In a letter to Mr. Uedpath he -ays: 'VoUr offer of $30,000 to lecture lilty nights does not tempt me. 1 mean to live and die at home now. ifl starve at it. I love you, but cannot lecture any more." A Yankee poet thus breaks forth: Ojh! the snore the beautiful suore. till ing the chamber from ceiling to floor' over the coverlet, iwder the sheet, from her wee dimpled chin to her pretty feet! Xow rising alofr like a bee' in June; ' now flute-like subsiding, then rising again, is the beautiful snore of Eliza beth Jane. General Howard.

A (ood Templar-' Lodge in Polk county was dismissed summarily by a Storm which shook the building -o iu which ih i body was sitting that the members left without the benediction.

Total. 651. An immigrant family has arrived in j Seattle over the mountain-, via the I Sheqnalmie Pass, whose mule team j gate out. ami being destitute, as-i-t-i ane liad to be sent to them. Mr. John I Baker collected $S0, sent a team with , -uj plies, and brought them iu safe. i A short time since, a farmer in j Thurston county, desiring to sell bis place, advertised it in a New York pa ! per. A gentleman living iu Pennsyl vania saw 1 he advertisement, corres I ponded with the farmer, and eventu ! ally purchased the place, and is now ! living on this farm. His coming has j induced a number of gentlemen in his vicinity to come to fuget Sound. On Monday night .of last week a messenger arrived in Baker City from Rye valley to procure a physician to go to Rye valley and dress ihe wound of Wm. Blane, who bait been -hot by a man by the name of Scott. The on ly particulars that we have heard are that Scott, who was somewhat under I the influence of liquor, was put out of the house by .Mr. JJIane. and that he drew his revolver and shot Blane, the ball taking effect in the lower portion of t he bowels. Scott was arrested. The Olympia Transcript says: 'In dian Harry, the savage that killed one of his tribe about a year ago. got on a big drunk on Tuesday night, and se verely injured, by beating about the head, an old Indian called one eyed Bob. Marshal Mossman arrested him and put him in jail. The next morn ing he was taken before Judge Elder and fined $65 and costs and sent to jail until paid." The annual meeting of the stock- I holders ot the railroad company, was j held at their office, in Olympia, on Mon- ; day, .Nov. 2d. There were 2.'U shares of stock represented. It was decided; to re' uce the number ot trustees to five. The meeting Mas ad journed to j the 12th of December, when, if noth ing definite is known respecting the negotiations pending for the budding of the road, the trustees will be chos- en. Some time back one of the chiefs on I Xeah Bay Reservation got drunk and j became very obstreperous. The agent thereupon put him ir. irons ami locked j him no in Port Town-end. thereto hold him until he re tiered his case to su- j ;erior authority. When Geu. How-: aid visited that place the other day the imprisoned Indian was very penitent; ; a nd on promise of future good behavior I h; was released from close custody and j se tt back to the Reservation. The Dalles Mountaineer says: "A, snaV.e was killed one day last week 01Y the farm of Mr. Horace Bice, on Fit- I teen-mile C reek, in this county, that had it- i ead eneased in the shell of the egg fron which it was hatched. The I snake was about two years old. The I question for naturalists todetermine is, How did his -uakeship grow and fat-I ten?" WV gness he hadn't had that I shell on hi- head all that time it is j too thin. The Postmaster nt Pendleton has re- j eeived a letter fi 0111 Chico, CaL. dated j October 25th, winch says: "Did u hand j of horses leave your place for here? There has been a parly murdered in j the mountains bv Indians, and they j Were from Umatilla county. Let lis know and we can give you more infor mation. One of th' men was here three weeks ago. and went back to j meet his train. A large party have I gone to look for them." Mr. Benin- I mill Despain left Pendleton last Aug. witn a nauii ot goou no.ses. lie in tended to go through California in the neighborhood of Chico, and it is quite probable that he and his men and hor ses are tho-e referred to in the letter. The Salem Statesman of Saturday say-: "The usual quiet of Eugene C ity was disturbed on Thursday evening by a fracas in which a well-known cit izen of that county, named AL Hem brie, received an injury, from the ef fects of which he has since died. He was in the city, and had. we are in formed, been drinking some. While Standing in front of a saloon, another party named ('hit Bnmdt. who claim ed that Hembrie owed him a small debt, came along aud without the least warning, struck him a powerful blow with his clenched fist just below the right ear. Hembrie at first paid no at tention to it. lie was leaning aganst the building at the t ime, and gradually slid down until he reached the side walk. After considerable delay he was taken into the saloon, where restor atives w re applied, and he recovered sufficiently to mount his wagon and drive home, a distance ot four miles. The spectators gave it no furtbur thought until yesterday, when news reached the city of Mi-. Hembrie's death shortly after his arrival home." ThcEngene On '.''give- the follow ing particulars ot Sol. Kuhn, who com mitted suicide at that place on Thurs day night of last week. Mr. Jones, who was assisting deceased in hi- store, came down on Friday morning un locked the -tore, went in and was pre paring to open up when Mr. Bettman came iu anil asked where Kuhn was. in company they preceded to his sleep ing rooui, in the rear of the store, and 011 opening the door were horror-stricken at. the sight. Everything was cov ered with blood. He had been troub led with bleeding at the nose at night, and it was at first supposed this was the cause of his death. An examina tion, however, revealed the true state . ('affairs. His throat had been cut, leaving a most ghastly wound, which commenced near th" left ear and ex tended to a point about midway be tween the windpipe and the right ear, everything being cut to the neck bone. There was found in or near his bed a bowie-knife about a foot in length, a small dagger and two razors, all more or less besmeared w ith blood. From the bed to the show-case in the trout room were traces Of blood and also in the show-case, and it would seem that he first attempted to take his life with the dagger, then went to the show-case and got the razors. The Statesman is informed that the Harvest Feast and Ball of the Butte ville Grange, advertised to come off at that place to-morrow evening, has been postponed until Friday, Decem ber 1th. owing to the recent death ot a member of the Grange.

It is reported that the Rogue River Patrons ot Husbandry propose the con struction of the proposed wagon road from the head of Blinois valley to Chetco harbor, on the coast, and that the surveyors are now making out the line ot the road. A member of the Saginaw county bar. was recently iu one of our thriving interior towns on professional busi ness. In the office of the hotel he was accosted by a very agreeable gentle man, evidently of ihe ijeuus drummer, who wanted to know where he was from." The legal gentleman not ex- 1 aetiyreiishing the stranger's familiar!- I ty. answered shortly, "From Ietroit." ; 'I he next question was "For what house are you trveling--' For my own. Yon are! May I ask your name?" Von i may.'" Pause enjoyable to the law yer. embarrassing to the other. "Well j desperately . What is your name:-'" "Jones." "What line are you in.'" j " don't undersrand you. sir." , What, are you selling?',' (impatiently). "Brains," (cooly).

Ike Ruggles saw it: then it was risen by Jones to flftean for to play. Brown came iu anil also the dealer stayed. Then it took met welve to make it good, which 1 put up, and I remarked to the society that it would cost only twenty-five more to draw. Every last gentleman staved. hut it was not risen any higher. Then the dealer says to me, How many will you take'"" Says f. "a card." I had aces and kings, and got an ace in the draw. Ike took three and Jones two. but Brown had enough, and told the deal er to help hisself, which he took only live. There was now about 1?H) chips on Ihe hoard. Ike bet one. Jones went ten better, and Brown raised it to twenty, because he stoid pat. The dealer sad that his'll was valued at twenty more. Then said I, "How many does it take me?" Some one said forty chips,"' which I invested like wise, with sixty better. Then all passed up to Brown, and I wanted him bad to stay with his steal, hut his s;mii gave out, and lie passed. Says the dealer to me. 'How many did yon draw:-' Says I. i card." '-Well,'1 savs he, "t don't want, to lav down this hand: I will bet sixty more than you!" Now the dealer was a stranger like to our party. He was from the country, and did not know much about I). I. So I thought it was my charita ble duty to let him down easy, audi only call him. "What have you got:-" said I. "-T wo pairs!" said Mr. Sim mons. Then it was my turn to he sor- j ry that I had an ace full on kings. "But." said the genial Mr. Simmons, "Mine is two pair of jacks!" Then I said "O!" and put on my hat ami went down on to the street to look for Christmas. As I went out of the door. ! Brown asked me how many ! took?" j But Brown always was a person who t will kick a man when he is down.
