Ei, Ktei-STEK Dear Sin : On "yester day the remains of Mr. H. Swank, an old and highly respected citizen of thi. county, and living near Brownsville, were borne by friends tr tltglr last resting place; and- in bis death JLinn county has lost one of her best and most lionored citizens. Beloved and honored by all, leaving behind him not one enemy, bnt a host of friend, he vfts suddenly called away by the Ansel of Death, but the call did not find him tin prejtftfetT. Tlis life was such as to satisfy his friends - that his spirit is now in that better laud beyond the river." where it is quietly resting, free from all toil and care, in green pastures and beside the still waters.' " Mr. Swank went out on Wednesday morning to' pick herrio and was seen no more on earth alive, dying suddenly and alone, : He was buried by the "Grangers," and their beautiful hurial ceremony was appro priately -and fitly read at the grave. Some few elnqnen't and touching remarks were made by the Rev. C. Sperry, closing with an exhortation to all to prepare to meet the departed one in the real ms of the blwt. , , . . i The Hon. A. 15. Ellis has returned from the Centennial, and on last night, the Browiisvlllians enjoyed a lecture on "-"What I know sihout the Centennial." which was indeed a treat," the discourse being well arrangMl and its delivery unexceptionable, jr A great many of our citizens have been whtling away their leisure hours by a visit to the "Sodas." and consequently times I ave been very'dttll and news itema are vcrv scarce. - : There is et no political exentcment growing out of the nomijiatioiis made by flie two great contending parties for the coming cutnttiign ; anu notnlngcan ytt be said about the cliances ot either in this sec tion, both parties seeming to rest assured tf an easy victory and agreeing that New. York uuit in all probability decide the contest. It is generally believed that the Republi cans will be able to carry Oregon this time on both the Presidential and Con gressional tickets. Farmers are making all necessary pre parations for the coming harvest, but it is feared that the wheat crop will he very light, and further, that prices will range iciw. Yours trulr. O. R. Egos. Caved in on. On Tuesday F. M. Rum ba ugh had a narrow escape from sudden death by the cavlns ot a hirh bank of gravel. Frank was engaged in hauling gravel from a bank near tlie city, atid hav ing completed his load, was iu the act of (h iving out of the pit when tlie cave oc curred. The gravel bank is some twelve feet high, and on top ot the bank, partly undermined, stood a large stump. The weight of tlie stump probably caused the cave, wiiicii caught frame, burying mm completely ; but fortunately the team did not start, and the falling stump caught on the wagort 'wheel, thus preventing the crushing and mangling of Frank who was directly under tlie stump. Mr.. John Clay- pool, who was also hauling gravel, hap pened to be on the spot, and went to Frank's relief at once, and soon extricated him from his perilous position. Frank was brought home and Ir Plummer sent tor. " who toniid a five-inch gash across the left side of Frank's head, the skin pretty - well torn from the index finger of the left, hand, and the liand otherwise bruised and torn,. and his body somewlwt brtil ed. Altogether It was a pretty close call, and we suppose Frank feels duly thankful that it was no worse. ... Sal-Soda. A group of young people froth Portland, now rustlcatitg tn tlie vi cinity of SotLtville. were out oti a fishing" exprdition on AV'exhiestlay oi ..this week, and took In Albany In their rounds, par taking of a hearty supper at the St. Charles hotel. The party consisted of the" Misses Weatherfprd aud Messrs.! W. Bodtnan ftnd J.T. Abraham. On being closely qttes tloneil as to their Ten tilling so tar nway llxtr camp, they stild they starfed oht at 7' A. M. for the purpose of enjoying a good day's fishing In the Santlam. For some reasnh they failed to get any flsh not a good day for fishing, you know and. from the appearance of the sltppef table. We'd conclude they hadn't bad a "bite' alt day. We rather think the whole affair , was a 'wild goose chase." . But aU looked as. It they enjoyetl it." The faces of the ladies were, wrcathetl with blushes, with perhaps a slight tinge of siJnburti on ttlie tips of their noses a 'playful freak of the stm. ,a8 most all soda-seekers know how to appre ciate yet just enough browned -"ro lend ef fect to their facial charms. The. party started On their return m "fliie s'plrlts ; but wasn't " anxious friends disappointed on the fruitless,' or rather Ashless, termination of ' the csperimeiit. 4 TUo health-gjylng influences of camp life were Very marked In tlie countenances of tho party, wJmmio doubt will retom home well pnUl for the time spent in a season of res and recrea ytJtebBmiX.

" . t . .. ,c Business. The Brownsville Woolen Mills Company will have a room in An keny's theatre building, Portland, where they, will exhibit for sale the goods manu factured by them. The goods manufac tured ty this Company have heretofore stood high in the markets and with the late improvements secured by the Conria ny in the machinery, and the services of experts hi the business" ol manufacturing, we doubt not the former good reputation ot the goods manufactured by them will not only be maintained but they will soon stand first hi the market. Returxed. Dr. G. W. Gray, wife and daughter, and Hon. Jas. H. Foster, wife and two daughters, returned from a three months sojourn In tlie East on Tuesday's Sontlicru train.
