- Hack Upset. - Last evening as V. B.
Cannon was driving his hack to the depot
of the O. & C. Railroad, ad while on
Lyon street, the team concluded to '-travel"
and travel it did with such rapidity that
when if came to the "turning off" point
Just before reaching the depot, the hack
wasupet, and Mr. Cannon, Henri Sayrs
and another party thrown out of the
vehicle regardless of, style or taste Mr.
Cannon was severely hurt, aim ic was
thought tor a time that he could not live,
but he "U better to-tlay. Neither of the
rtlKMwere liwrwh r'v-It- was - loud' Witl,
and all will do well to heed it. The team
and vehicle were so little injured that they
brought in a load of passengers from the
train.
How's This? It would be a good Idea
ner that by sliding one or two board Into
grooves fixed for t-lie purpose, tlie water in
said ditches could le 'raised a couple of!
1 feet then and there so that in case of tire,
..... . . 1 1
our engine might uue water ironi mem.
To enable the engine to get water, the
water hi 'the ditch incut be at least a foot
and a half djep, rand none" of the ditches
running from the Canal carry tint much
water. A3 soon as the demand fur water
wlwa the boards could be removed

and - no harm done.

At present there lies within a few
weeks ot us, and right between ns and
inhabited continents, a circle 1,400
mi:es acioss, of which we know not.
even whether it be land or water, or in
what respects it is effected by some con
ditions wholly different from our own
Is it anything more than a ereat - refrig
erator fbr the production of cold that
is, for the absorption of heat? If water
preponderates there, - then the cold
need not be so extreme a- we imagine:
and just as ihe equator is not every
where hotter than the tropics, just as
the Knsterti hemisphere is warmer by
ten Uesjrees ot north latitude than the
very much warmer than the Southern,
so even the Arctic circle may have the
benefit ol some gonial inilucr.ee. It has
at least half a year of continuous day.
What if it be found sufficiently haftit
ab'e for the establishment of stations in
which l!ic production and economy of
heat will lie tho.only serious difficulty?
Sc'.oiice is sanguibc, but it confesses it
self to be hoping against hope as to the

some of the lowest forms ot vegetable ,
life, and prehaps organisms in the sea,
the possible Tevclaliptis of arl atmos
phere completely clear of aqueous dis
turbance, figure prominently in the
catalogue of hope, as is suspected, there
be ingredients in the earth's atmosphere
too subtle for chemical analysis, the
spectioscojie may detect them in a
region where humidity nc longer em
harasses the question. Then what is
the aurora? Is it of earth or of heaven?
Is it meteoric? Is it cosmic? Does it
rever.l a universal medium? ' Is it a
magnetic phenomenon? At about the
seventieth decree of latitude the expedi
tion will reach the other siJe of the
mpgnetic po!e, and will have to steer
by rules the contrary of our wn, and
becoming more and more, complex till
the needle points finally to the centre
of the earth. At the pole not only
tlie compass, but even the sun, moon
and stars will cease to be available fbr
the usual purpose of observation; that
is it anything should happen to tlie
chronometers, for all will then depend
on the preservation of Greenwich time.
The forlorn hope told on tor the pole
will have to mark its track very care
fully it it would be sure of retracing its
course back again. London Times.

The following account of tlie bursting of
a water snout on the 11th In-taut, was
written by W. J. Ilerrcn, m Willow Creek
valley, to his father in Salem, and pub
lished in tlw Statesman of the lSth :
VesrertJ.-iv nfternnmi nhont 4 o'clock we
had a Water spout, in the vicinity ot the
Lensbnrg ranch, doing a great amount
of damage on llinton creek ai.d on the
main creek below its mouth for ten or fif

examined our ranch and it Is badly dam
aged. All tlie grain on the bottom land is

All at once we heard a noise like a heavy

coming. We ran over in time to see it.
imd such a sight hay cocks and. stacks,
wagons, chickens, hogs, and even old
mother Mitchell's ducks, were carried olf.-
