ATTEMPTED St H IDE.
Among the loggers of Robinson A West
was Tom McNary , a native of Maine, and
for eight years a resident of Oregon
When the drive reached Albany McNary,
with othora, got on a glorious spree, lot
bibing so much that tbo result wss a
aeries of "Jim Jams,' In other words, de-
leriutn tremens. Several days ago ho -aft
with several other loggers and went to
Portland, with about $50 in bis possession.
Last Monday he returned as far as Jeffer
son v hen be jumped from the cars.he has
since said for the purposo of kl ling htm
self. He evidently failed, for Tuesday
morning be boarded a hand-oar and came
to this city, putting up at tbo Exchange
Hotel, whore on account of bta drunken
eoudition, Tuesday night ho waa placed in
on-) of the mall bed rooms in the rear of
tbo hotel. Wednesday morning between
four and live o'clock a big disturbance
was heard In bis locality. Nightwatchea
Brown and Jones wero sent far. Just aa
they reached the hotel McNary put in an
apiearance and started down through the
street towards No. 1's Engine House, near
which he was caught, when for the first
time it was discovered that no had cut his
throat, end waa covered with blood, lie
was bareheaded, in bis stocking f et, and
presented a shocking spectacle. Ho was
taken back to the hotel, and Dr, Wallace
was called. It was found that be bad made
everal stabs at his throat, and bad sue
ceedod in cutting the wind pipe partly In
two. Dr. Wallace sewed up I be wounda,
but his recovery la very doubtful, his pulse
at one time going down to twenty. A visit
to bis room showed how the deed had
been done, Tim floor near the head of the
bed was covered with a large pool of clotted
blood, while the sheet and pillow were red
with it in spatters, showing tht McNary
had cut his throat with a dull Jack knife,
which was found en the floor, and thru
eaned over the edge of the bed and let the
blood flow off the edgo of it to the fl xr be
ow. It was a sickening sight. Clotting
tired of such an operation McNary, a strong,
powerful man, evidently jumped up aad
rushed out, as already narrated.
The report of the affair, naturally enough
caused a little excitement on the streets for
a few hours. McNary waa very well known
here, having worked in one of the livery
stables at one time and been in the city al
different tiroes during the last few years.

Oil Sunday evening last Mrs M. A.
Bridge lectured at the M. E Church,
the subject being "Social Breakers,
devoted to the subject of temperaace.
The Church was crowded to overflow
ing, every nook and corner being occu
pied with some one sitting or standing,
white a large number of people were
compelled to go away without being
able te gain admittance. This large
audience, gathered together at a time
when service were being held in the
churches of the city, was a flattering
testimonial to the reputation as a lec
turer which Mrs. Bridge bad established
In the two lectures spoken of in the last
issue of the Democrat. Her treatment
f the subject was rclentlflc. nio.'al and
prac'ieal and was certainly the best aud
most i nt resting lectare on the subject
ever delivered in the city. On Tueeday
evening the lady delivered her lecture
entitled ' Florida.'' at the Curt House
to a very large and appreciative audi
ence. The lecture was devoted to a
description of Florida when the lady
lived a number of years. The lecture
is interspersed with bits of humor and
fun of the most entertaining character
As a lecturer Mrs, Bridge is a suc-cs,

The Salem - Statesman" gives the fol
lowing account of an attempted suicide in
that city last Saturday : '-Miss Mary
Thomas,a yonng lady who has been work
ing in the family of Governor Moody for
the past six months, attempted suicide
Saturday evening by taking a dose of
carbolic acid. Physicians were promptly
summoned, and antidotes immediately
administered, and thongh for a time her
life was despaired of, at a late hour last
night her attendants pronounced her much
improved, with strong hopes of her re
covery. This lash aet was doubtless
prompted by depressing news received by
her in a letter by yesterday's mail. The
Governor and his family did all in their
power to allay the young lady's suffer
ing." Smelting.
A very general complaint prevails among
people who have to wait for their mail at the
postomce about the inconvenience to which
they are subjected in consequence of parties
smoking while waiting there for the mail.
Some times the office is failed with the smoke
and perfume from a dozen cigaretts going at
once. We are sorry to sav that the complaint
is mostly against young men. Ladies hardly
dare enter the postoffice at times in conse
quence ef this unmanly and inexcusable
habit. Young men, you have no right to do
this. Some people say it is very bad man
ners to do so. Let tnia nuisance be abated.

A HU0 klNti AIKTDKKIT.
On last Friday eveniug.about four miles
west of Sbedd, near Oakvllle, one of tho
most shocking aoetdsnts it Is aver the lot
of tbs newspaper to chronicle, occurred to
a young man of that community. After
school had closed, Herman Walker, a
school bey aged slxtoea, a son of M W
Walker, went to his home, got a double
barreled tniuxle loading shot gun and
started on a bunt for duoks. When about
a mile from horns and a half mile from
the farm of M Aobeson, he suooseded In
killing a duck at the flsrt shot. After
picking the duck up he set his gun down
aud began loading the empty barrel.
Whether by tho concussion or by himselfi
he did not know, the hsmtner to tho load
od barrel was cooked' He had (toured In
the powder and was ramming a wad on
top of It when the other barrel waa tils.
charged, Just how he could not afterwards
tell. All of the contents struck him full
on tho chin, ranging towards the right
ey and oar. All of the right side of the
tnferter maxillary bone, (lower Jaw) all of
tho teeth from the right side of tbs superi
or tnaxlllaty bone, (upper Jaw) and most
of the right side of the nose and the bones,
all of the cheek, part of his tongue, and
the right eye, were carried away or mu
tlllated by the terrible discharge. As
strange as it may seem the shock was ao
great that no pain was caused at all. Pick
ing up his gun, young Walker wont to the
house of Mr Aobeson, where he placed his
gun under tho stoop and entered the doar.
Covered with powder, horribly unit Minted.
Although known te every body in tho oom.
tnunity.be was not at first recognized ; but
his school teacher, being present, soon
knew which ons of her pupils it was. His
parents were sent for, and the meeting of
hi in ami 'hi mother was said to bo one of
the moat affecting kind, At the same time
partlen atarted for Dr Maston, of th Is city
and Dr Gaff, of Shodd, both of whom
were soon at tbo place. The wound was
dressed as welt aa possible the next morn
ing, though the operation wai a dilMeult
one, Not being able to talk on account
of the loss of part of bis tongue, young
Walker gave an account of the accident, aa
stated above, by the use of the deaf and
dumb alphabet, which he, as well as moat
of the community, bau learned on account
of one of the olllxens there being deaf.
The report of the aocident was a terrible
hock to the whole neighborhood, not
only on account of its nature, but as well
on account of i he high esteem In which
young Walkor was held. He waa an un
commonly bright, well-behaved boy
whom all the members of the community
liked and respected. The last report was
that be probably would not live.
While it la fact that avoidants from tbs
careless use of Are arms are too common,
moralizing at such a time might be con
sidered out of place and i wo leave It
until anot..-?r time.

A C'orreapeadeat Taken le Task.
Tbe DnNMaVal does not pretend to keep
track of the right and wrong of its corres
pondents, List week our Oak Creek cor
respondent stated that a worthy citizen cf
that community had pot up a wood shed after
a residence there of a quarter of a century,
certainly a most commendable set ; also gave
a short account of a whipping by the school
teacher, complaint by parent and sustaining
ef tbe act of tbe teacher by the directors.
The first ef the week we received a commun
ication headed, "Plain Talk from an Oak
Creek Chap," touching on tbe subjects men
tioned. Knowing nothing about the matter
at all, but always desirous of giving all sides
ef questions arising, we give the substance
of the communication : -First, the wood
shed mentioned was the second one the
worthy citizen had built ; that our corres
pondent.(as to whose identity he wan entire
ly mistaken,) has a woodshed, hot is too lazy
to put bis wood in it. Second the boy
whipped is not an angel (like girls,) bnt that
wm no reason why be should be stuck with
a pin and 1 -ain. Tlu boy was stack on
Mooday,he was com da bring of bis side being
sore and his arm lams Wednesday, when cor
respondent saw his arm and there were fifteen
or twenty pin wonnds plain to be seen. Tbe
boy's father agreed not to prosecute if net
repeated. Afterwards one dsy ths teacher
caught the boy throwing mud balls at the
girls in school time, something the corres
pondent says all the boys claim they do.
Then the teacher whipped him, correspondent
says, till he was black and blue. The di
rectors were called and two of them sustain
ed the teacher. Now this is two sides, and
wo hope the matter will drop here.

Way back in the dim past wbsn tbo
power of Rome was supreme, a peculiar
oustom grew up among tbe young lads
and leasee. It was their custom to astber
together on tbe eve of St. Valentines Day
and write iba names of lada and lasses of
their acquslnfancea In equal numbers on
slips of papers and place them in a basket
or somo other receptacle. Prom this re
ceptacle each maid and bachelor drew a
slip of psper, taking care of course to draw
a paper containing the name of one of tho
opposite ses from the drawer, and tho
person drawn waa ths valentine of tbo
drawer for a year. So universal was tbo
custom that while each ons present drew
a valentine, he or ahe was often drawn aa
ths valentine af another in some other
gathering. These imaginary ongagsmenta
sometimes grew Into real ones for ons bo
came tbs valentine of another, and ths
mperlaus law was that all his attentions.

Others say ths custom was derived from
