He has bought a farm near Peoria, but still owes a nice little sum upon it, and of course wants to make every cent lie can. He owed a small debt to an old farmer in that part of the country who agreed to take wheat at 75 cents per bushel in pay men t after harvest. The ti me rolled around, and the young man, who no doubt wishes to gain a reputation for business capacity and fair . dealing, thought he would save'money by pay ing off his debt in greenbacks, whlch was accordingly done. He seemed.to understand very well about the ten cents diilcrence in the price of gold and greenbacks, but didn't think it made any difference if wheat had fallen to 56 cents. Query Which was it that got greenbacked ? St. Chabi.es Hotkl. Within the last week the proprietorship of this popular hotel has changed, .Mr. N. S.j DuTSpia having sold ou,t to Messrs. Mathews & Morrison, of Portland.' Tho new nrnnrlotois arc both gentlemen of innsi"iici-!ili!e renutation and have had a good deal of hotel experience, both j on this Coast and in the East. They. expect to run a first-class, hotel, one that will be a credit to our city, and second to none in the State in the way of comfortabb lodgings and well-set tables. We hope they may succeed in J.

This is a step in the right direction and one that ve have been wishing to see for .a good . while. .There is no better fruit-growing country in the world than Oregon, and no other county better adapted for that purpose than Linn county. For the past few years the orchards throughout the whole .extent of the Willamette valley l?ave been allowed to die out in if great1-measure for the reason that there was no market for the fruit, but as this fruit drying com pany will'be in full operation by next . fall, the fruit raisers will not have that (excuse. - The New Boat. The new boat OAio,.lately built at Portland, arrived ' at the wharf in this city last Tuesday evening, with several tons of freight for our merchants. It was such an un usual thing for boats to come to this city at this stage of the river that the wharf was lined with people to witness the arrival of this boat. This wae hut an experimental trip on the part of the owners of this boat, for the purpose of . ascertaining if they could lun the year round. Although with a luad of ten tons the Oiio only draws about nine Inches of water, it is not considered Minstrels .Morill'aSan Francisco Minstrels gave a performanco at the Pacific Opera House on last Monday to alargo audience. Thisispositivcly the Vjesjt troupe of minstrels, that has vis ited our city for years. Charlie Nick- ersoninhimsefisa lhole team, and always in his original comicalities succeeded in bringing down the house. It is very rare that a person gets a chance of seeing such an array of talent as these performers present.' They will be here during the Fair and will no doubt receive crowded houses, "And that's all." ' Brownsville, Oct. 1, J87I. JliVtor Demnwat: ' , ( On Monday last an accidentoccurred which cunt a mantle of gloom over the whole community; an accident which r ibbed h pleasant and highly respecta ble family of a mother, andafondhus baud of a wife. Mrs. Welt, who had been afflicted with the ague, but had so far recovered as to be able to sit up a portion of the day, was sitting before the fire last Monday morning about 8 o'clock, when her olothing became Ig nited and burned with such rapidity that she was unable to extinguish the flames. There was no person in the room at the time except two small girls, who gave the alarm, but ere as sistance could reach the unfortunate la dy and extinguish the flames her per son was so badly burned that the skin and flesh wereprfeetlr charred. I ar rived at tho residence of fhe heart stricken family Just as tho flames were being extinguished. What a heart rending scene met my gaze! the un fortunate' mother was lying on. the floor, her clothing burnt and torn n shreds, partially wrapped in ablank- ct, tho work of afriendly hand to ex tinguish the flames, the husband bend- iug over her to alleviate her suffering as much as possible; and two little weeping girls locked in eaoh others embrace, uttering in prophetic shrieks between sobs that mother would never get well. How true the prophecy. That night Mrs. Joseph Welt was re lieved from suffering by the 'kind hand of Providence. On Wednesday her remains were followed to their last resting place' by a large number of friends and citizens. , ' j This has evidently been a good week for our efficient county clerk and the inlnistors. Three weddings have oo ourred bettyeen parties residing in North Brownsville; whether' it is caused by tho prospects of bettor times coming, when the town becomes In corporated, or whether it is tho fore runner or harbinger of a cold winter, Tnm nimble with mv stock of exper ience to say. Be that as it may, there has'beeu three blushing maids of this village led, to the hymeneal altar "like sheep to the slaughter,-" and we ex pect toadd several more to the list in a few days. Monday evening our townsman who distinguished himself while attending the Independent convention in your city last spring, by referring to other members of tlie convention as whisky bloats, and other like inappropriate cognomens, collected, a band of boys, consisting of three of. his own, sons and two or three of the neighbor boys, marched to where there was a newly wecMeii pair and dorfiinenced under the window an incantation, consisting of screaming, and vigorous strokes on their tiu pans and brass kettles which would have made the most unregener atcd Sioux or Snake Indian blush with sheer shame, especially when a lady only a short distance away was writh ing in pain at the paint of death. The boys are excusable, but a man whose locks are whitened by the snows of many winters, will not so readily meet with a pardon from an outraged .com. munity.. I hope this may bo the last time I will be called upon to chronicle an affair of this kind, wherein the chief actor is a man of two score and ten. Yours truly. ' . LENOX.

' The way they play it Is this: Whenever a young lady thinks she can better her condition by moving her ball six in ches, she is allowed to do so by kissing one of the jounst gentleman of theop posite side. Who wante to play cro quet by the new rules? We are ready to drop this quill and go to playing at one minute's notice. We think it would be to the interest of our mer chants to introduce thie game, as It would create 'a great (remand for tape measures. Restaurant.
