The hand will probably set him up in the "rest" business for some time. wa should like the res part passing well, but wake cnltus thumb The frost penetrated tlte ground during the recent freeze np to a much .greater depth than we supposed. A gentleman informs its that he opened bit apple hole, a few days since, and although the apples were covered with dirt to tbe depth of nearly eighteen Inches, so far as he examined tlie fruit was frozen, and he tears lie will lose the whole lot, some sixty bushels. Abe Hackletnan arrived nt lib home In this city on Friday last from Ochoco Via the Dalles. He left Dalles on Sends jr. The weather tn tlie Cascade mountains was exceedingly rough as well ma tbe going, as will be judged when it Is stated that But sii mites was made one day. and that only after the greatest labor and exertion. When Mr. Hackletnan left Ochoco the breather was not exceedingly cold, and there was but ten Indies of snow, On Wednesday a young man killed several wild ducks on tbe river below this city, and among them something that resembled a duck, except that it had four wings and no tail-feathers. but a pair of legs exactly where the tall ought to be, and Its bead resembled that of a watermoccasin. The feathers on Its breast were fine and soft as silk, while tbe skin was tough and thick. When on the Ice it stood upright when walking, and altogether was a queer- looking duck.

From the Jacksonville Sentinel we gather the following Items of Interest, wun regard to the recent discoveries of quartxin that region. The '"Yank" or Mammoth ledge seems to be excit ing the largest shurse Of attention, and old mining expert who have carefully examined It, pronounce It the largest ledge or silver and gold bearing qnnrU yet discovered in the world. As yet little ele tliau the crannlnc havo been tested, and the assay, according to position, shows from a trifle to $500 per ton. Surveyors have chained the ledge where it proved to be 210 feet in width, and at no place has it been found to be les than 100 feet on the cropping. The editor of the SentinH has seen ore taken from one of the veins five feet In width, which was ahnot pure silver. The croonincrs show numerous veins of rich ore runn ing all through it. from one to ten feet in width, and It Is believed, judg ing from experience In other mines. that these veins unite and form one compact body of rich ore at a certain depth. So confident are claim-owners of the value of the ledge, that they have already ordered mills, two being now on the way. and others will be forwarded as soon as the roads from the south can be traveled with heavily loaded wagons. Reynolds St Co. have a 40-stamp mill, and a California Com pany have a 50-tamp tnlji, both on the. way.. As now prospected, there is room enough on the "Yank" tor tbe employment of one hundred mills and ten thousand men. Wood-rand water are abundant, and good roads will soon be completed leading Into the mines. About litteen miles of this ledge 1ms been claimed. There are as 3et few accommodations on Giilice Creek for man or beast, but boarding houses and livery stables will be in full blast within a couple of months. Rich discoveries of silver ore and cinnabar are reported on Louse. Cayote and Grave creeks, and doubtless others will be made as soon as tlie snow, which fell during the late cold snap, disappears. Despite the snow, prospectors were busy, and tbe ushering in of pleasant weather will doubtless witness a thorough prospect ing of the whole county. The Indian troubles in Nevada in crease, and settlers are fleeing to PI oclic. Muddy and Hiko. Since July last fifteen whites have been killed by Indians within ten miles of Hiko, as the Indians themselves claim. Tbe citizens of Hiko have appealed to Pl- ouhe for men and arms to aid in de fending them from the attacks of the savages. Added to tlie Indian alarm. several days ago a water spout burst near Pioche, flooding tbe canyon and washing off several miles of the Bui llonville St Pioche railway track. The Boise City Statesman says that the time ,ot the Idaho Legislature is principally taken up In tbe considera tion and passing of divorce bills, to tlie exclusion of all other business. The Speaker, on a recent occasion; left his chair, declaring the divorce business a nuisance, and that he would not vote for another bill of that sort. A scene of great confusion en sued, some members cliargtng that others traded their votes in order to get favorite divorce bills through, and tlie .Legislature had to - adjourn in order to prevent a general muss. A sad state of affairs, truly. . What next? lu tbe Cincinnati Com mercial's report of a convention of den tists lately held, it is stated that dur ing the afternoon. Dr.- Jennings, of Cleveland, reported a remarkable case where a lady's tongue, out of whose mouth be had extracted, fifteen teeth, became stiffened, and finally so loose that In a fit of coughing it was sud denly thrown from her mouth entirely. Notwithstanding this fact the woman retained her special sense of taste, and also the power of speech so that she could be easily understood. ' n Algernon Sidney Paddock, Nebras ka's new Senator, who succeeds Tip ton, Is a native of St. Lawrence coun ty, New York, Is about forty-four years old. and Is a distant relative of Gideon Welles and Gen. and Senator Sherman. He has resided In Ne braska eighteen, years. He was ap pointed Governor of Wyoming tn 1888, but withdrew. . He I said to be a Conservative Republican, is In full sympathy with the party,? and will probably act with it In theffuWre. : From Sbreveport,' Louisiana, Gen. Merrill reports that a war of races is threatened there. The planters hav ing refused tlie negroes employment because they voted trie jxepuDtican ticket, has brought about great suffer ing and want among them, and they (the negroes) are getting revenge and something to sustain life by robbing and .plunder. When will this terrible state of affairs cease0' -T"4-- I -; It Is said the politicians at Washing ton are puzzled what to believe, and consequently how to act, with regard to Louisiana, the stories are so contra dictory. It seems to be a hard matter to pet at the truth, certainly, when one doesn't want to get at the truth, It may all result In Louisiana's losing her Stateshlp and putting on Terrtto rial clothes. . , . -. I . - During the year ending June SO, 1874. the sum of U4,S7S xa was ex pended bv tbe General Government In tlie Improvements at Hog's Back and Wood Island; fl,530 on the WUlanv ette above Oregon City, and f 23, 085 11 on tha TJnner Columbia. A total ex penditure of $44,163 S3- There was also a large amount expended on tbe Xxwer Willamette, not reported. New and rich quart ledges are re ported almost daily at Florence, Ne vada. - , Mr. Luttrell, of California, lias in troduced an Important bill, important least to settlers upon railroad land erants. This bill elves the settler the land upon which lie has settled before the grant to a railway company, no matter If they were unstirveyed at the time of the grant. This Is but' justice i the settler, and will not work in usticc to the railway companies. Matt. Carpenter lias received the nomination of the Republican Legis lative caucus for tbe Senarorehtp from Wisconsin. When the vote was taken and he was found to lead all compet itors, the nomination was made unan imous. He will doubtless be elected. The Democratic caucus met, but made no nomination. Thomas Gerrand hangs to-day, at Salem, unless the Governor commutes his sentence to imprisonment for life. As the case now stands. If Gov. G ro ver should commute Gerrand's sen tence to Imprisonment for Hf, he would simply be carrying out .tlie views and wUhes of at least two-thirds of the people of Oregon. The appeals for mercv in the case of Gerrand have been so stronz. and coming from so many sources fin ishing with a strong appeal signed by tlie Judges ot tbe Supreme Court, that the Governor was at last compelled to relent, and he has commuted tbe sen tence to Imprisonment tor life. ' It is still feared in Vienna. Austria. that a collision between Turkey and Montenegro cannot be avoided. Rus sia, and Austria have both warned Hospodarof Montenegro, that if he declares war be does so ou his own responsibility. On the 1st inst., Maj. Ogleshy, 8th Infantry, commanding scouting party from Camp Apacbe, arrived opposite Camp Verde, but could not cross the Verde owing to high water, lie reported a large number of Indian captives. Under date of Boston, January 23d, comes the revolting statement that two women who kept a baby farming es tablishment at Hollister, Conn., have been arrested on charge of Kisoning five Infants within eight weeks. W. H. Stowell, Congressman from Virginia, is not only charged with selling a cadetshlp, but the indications are that the charge is well founded. If the charge is true, expell him at once. On the 23d Secretary Bristow slipped and sprained his leg. ' He was confined to his room for a day or more by the accident. Negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands are prac tically completed, and will be seut to the Senate in a few days. m i The President has sent to the Sen ate the nomination of Caleb X.

Chinese gold-hunters continue to mine on bar. 10 or 1 miles up the river above Roseburg.- A light draught steamer, carrying 260 Ions. Is being bnilt at Pittsburg, to run on the upper Missouri. The late freeze reduced the potato snpply iu Vancouver, and the price was raised to $1 60 per bushel. Mrs. James Davidson, of Vancouver, met with a fall on Sunday last, where by she sustained a fracture of the wrist. Thursday night, January 14th. is said by the miners of Little Cotton wood, to liave been the ugliest night they ever experienced in Utah. Sunday.

The Helena Herald of tho 7th Inst says: An estimate cannot nowr ha L made of the amount of ore that will he ready for shipment on Ten Mile, by the opening of navigation, but it is certain that it will far exceed the en tire shipment of Int year. Charity Grange on the occasion of their annual Installation, donated $32 for the relief of the Nebraska sufferers. One of our State exchanges offers 15 cents a bushel for manuscript poems ir tney are on gooci paper ana writ ten on one side of the sheet they make a first-rate fire klndler. Mr. Webster, who returned to Coos Bav from Knaeburg, on the 21st, re ports the roads in a desperately bad condition and that cattle and sheep were suffering very much from the "cold snap." A Baker City justice who was locked up In his office by a okist" who carried the key off to church, had the joker arrested and lined him $16 worth of hot drinks for "locking the court in." The bulletin learns from a gentle man just from Eastern Oregon that there is a strong probability that the loss of stock in tfiat vicinity will be great. A man named Wilson, on the boat between Nanalmo ami Victoria, took out a roll of bills, 400. to pay' his fare, and the wind carried tlio money Into tlie sea and it could not be found. A heavy jam of Ice cate down the Fraser on Thursday of last week, and the'dittle steamer Gem, lying at her wharf In New Westminster, received some injury whereby she was sunk. About Sheridan, stock is doing well. The farmers are well provided with feed for their cattle, and excepting in a few cases where stock is straying about the country nncared for, there is not any suffering. - A subscription of $75,000 is asked for the completion of tbe Walla Walla Valley Railroad. A rumor was current at Salt Lake last week to the effect that a snow slide had occurred at Tannersville, Little Cottonwood, by which six men lost their lives. The citizens of Fonrtli Plain school district, Clarke county, W. T.. have just voted tlie liberal tax of 10 mills on the dollar, to raise money to build a new sciiool nonse. We despair of the orange -and brn ana crop in Montana this year.- But by a wise dispensation ot Providence. the average Moiitaniuu is enabled to lay up a store ot frozen whisky for his summer's nse. As the farmers, generally, in North Yamhill have a plenty of feed, stock of all kinds is faring well and looking well tn iliac section. . , The Odd Fellows' Library at Salem contains 905 volumes of books, besides numerous periodicals and newspapers. Six; hundred and seventy-five hooks were taken out during tbe year 1S74, i A little child ot Mr. Shackle, living in Sluslaw neighborhood, was severely burned on Jan tary 6thv At first the injuries, were considered fatal, but at present tne prospect is that it will recover. !

Want of room to pile lumber was one trouble, and tlie track being blockaded by snow was the otlier. The steamboats had great difficulty to obtain fresh water for their boilers, as tlie tanks got frozen over during the previous nigiit." T. M. Martin, havkig written an open letter to the Baptist Church at Eugene withdrawing from Its pale. the church, through a committee, re plies revoking Mr. Martin's ri cense and withdrawing tlie right hand of fellowship from him in all kindness. and commendlnz the brother "to Him who is willing and able to cause the light to shine !n all tlie dark places to them who come humbly and trust- lugiy toHim." A eentlenuin living on the north fork ot Coos river, has discovered at a short distance from his house, a ledge ot mineral which is Unknown to him self and every one else that has seen it. He sent several specimens to San Francisco by the kastrxwt, to have them assayed.- believing them to con tain considerable silver. Tlie editor of theivews has seen them and does not believe they contain either sliver or galena, out some or tne naraer metais, like nickel or platiua. At Lafayette last week as Miss Susan Bradshaw was standing near the fire the back part ot her dress caught fire, ' and In an instant, and almost before he was aware of the fire, the blaze had reached her head.

The justice had a wile who had to join In the deed. The laws of this State require that a married woman's deed to be valid raitst be acknowledged 'separate and apart from her husband. In this case the justice made the deed bim- seir ana took tne acknowledgment and certified that he had 'examined his own wife. senarate and I alone from her husband, and that she ac knowledged that she executed the same freely without fear or compul sion from any one. Tally one for ITyTbefalaXiMa. Under date of Saturday, the 22d inst., the Oregon Steam Navigation Company furnished the following dispatches. The dispatches are sent from Walla Walla: We have been furnished with some of tiie particu lars of a most terrible calamity which has resulted in tlie death of a woman and two of her children. It seems that a man named Tate, living about eleven miles in an easterly direction Irorn tms city, between Ury creek and Blue creek, left his bouse on Thursday morning to assist a neighbor with some stock, leaving his wife and three children, aged respectively seven - and five, and a baby, when he returned in the evening be found his house leveled to the ground and buried tinder the snow, a snow slide having occurred probably soon after the husband and father's departure, carrying every thing before it. Search was made and the dead bodies ot his wife and two children were found In the stable. while the babv, who had been In bed at the time of the- catastrophe, was found still snugly covered up In the bed and buriedin the ruins asleep and unharmed. From the tracks found. it seems that the wliole family had been buried up, and that the mother had first extricated hetxelt and then rescued her two oldestchildren from the ruins of the liouae Whether they were dead or only Injured, is not known: but the mother carried them to the stable, which was unharmed, and had lain them dowu side by side. She then attempted to go to a neighbor's, probably tor help, but the snow being very deep, she had found It Impossible to go, and had returned ami laid herself down, beside her -.two cmuiren, woe re sne. was louiia,. aa above stated, ail three of them being dead. It is not exactly known, ' but is probably the case, tliat she was more or less Injured by the snow slide, and that her exertions in rescuing her children and in attempting to goto the neigtinor s. joined in causing ner death. Tliese are the outlines of the affair as detailed by a neighbor efthe unfortunate family, and is one ol. the most heartrending casualties that we have ever been called upon to chronicle. The illfated house was situated at the foot ota high anil steep hill and the snow was drifted to a great deptli. but as such accidents are of very rare occurence here, no one ever dreamed ot danger therefrom that source. From all directions we liear of more or less loss of stock. ' In some Instances owners made little or no provision for their stock, trusting to luck and the chances for an open winter to carry them through. In most cases, how ever, there is plenty of feed, but there are a great many whose stock had strayed away and tliey have been un able to find them and get them home since the storm. Those stray cattle are generally the ones that suffer most ami are dying off the fastest. We also hear of quite a heavy loss among sheep, but the ones that die are gen erally either old ones or those tnat liave been brought into the country from abroad and have not yet become acclimated. In the aggregate the loss of stock Is likely to be considerable, and especially so If we are to liave much more bad weather between this time and the opening of spring. The family of Mr. dimming, liv ing on the Wallnla road below tlie mouth of the Toucliet, seem to be ptrticularly unfortunate. We now nave the case of a terrible accident that happened to one of the sons, a young man aged eighteen years. In some manner or other he lumped against the handle ot a pitchfork with such force tnat tne nanuie passed al most through the body, on a line with tlie pelvis, and passed through to the backbone. Dr. Blalock was called to the relief of the young man and thinks it possible that he may recover. The shock of this accident is supposed to have hastened the death of his morher. who passed away shortly after its occurrence. The accident happened on Monday last and up to this writing tne unfortunate youtn is sun aiive. Forest Grove is now agitated upon the question of erecting a city jail. The State Temperance Alliance will meet in oaiem on tne X itu oi r eoruary. Coos Bay wants more mail facilities. Tlie Gazette says no stock has perished in Benton county from the freeze as far as repottetf. A few more days ot cold weather and oak wood would have been worth $10 or $12 a cord lu Eugene. A Lafayette man threw a snowball at his neighbor with such force that he jerked Ms arm out oi piace. County Treasurer John G.
