From last week's Oregon City Enterprise we glean the account of the following fatal case caused from careless hunting: Last Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'cl ck Mr. Wm. Bivers, one of the emoloyes of the Paper Mill, and a son of Israel Kivers, of Eagle Creek, borrowed a shot-gun from Mr. W. H. Smith, to kill a lot of quails on their roost, which, he said, he ha'd found. From that time until about 11 o'clock no one ever saw him. At about 10 o'clock' his wife went to Mr. Smith's and said that something must have happened to her hits band, because he had not returned, neither had he put up his horses. Mr. Smith, re alizing the situation got up, and, with the lantern, went up the road to look for Rivers. He went about a mile and a half, and see ing nothing, returned. When about a mile from home he heard a dog bark, recognizing the bark, he called the dog and it seemed inclined to follow him. Firmly believing something was wrong with Mr- Rivers, he told the dog to go to his master, which he did, Mr. Smith following. When the dog stopped by the aid of his lamp he saw the prostrate form of W m. Rivers, in an old road with two-thirds of his face completely shattered and blown away. His feet were close to the broken end of a log and the gun lying at a right angle withjthe body. A bottle of shot with the stopper out, was also found, and a paper wad found in his right hand. One barrel was found to be charged with powder, and he had evidently put the load of shot in it, because when the gun was found a charge of shot had rolled out of one barrel. The body was found at a right angle with the end of the log, the gun lying across his feet with the muzzle to the left, and parallel with the log on which was a pheasant that he had already killed. In loading one barrel, he must have struck the hammer of the loaded barrel against his clothing, or the end of the log, causing it to go off. No one could have recognized the features as those of Wm. Rivers. He was known to be exceedingly careful in hunt ing, but was not in the habit of hunting with a shotgun. He was about twenty-live years old, a good citizen, quiet in demeanor and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and two young children to mourn their loss, besides parents, relatives, and manv friends. It is not Humane To refuse your horse sufficient .and good water; to give him decaying or insutheient food; to let him go ungroomeii; to scratch his skin with an iron or wire-tooth curry comb; to shear his mane or tail; to use over-checks or blinkers; to put frosted bits to his mouth; to work him when hi3 shoulders are sore, or ride him when his back is galled by cruel saddle; to ride or drive him when he is lame; to drive him upon stone pavenuiits, or icy roads, with smooth shoes; to drive him in a storm, or let him stand in one without protection; to let him stand in the coid without blank er other warm covering; to neglect to Clover as a Means of Increasing the wheat Yield. Alternating clover with the wheat crop is another means of increasing production. The clover is esteemed in England as the best preparation of the land for wheat, and a good clover sod is the best fertilizer, Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert, on a portion of nn manured exueriineital field, tested the value for clover as a preparatory crop of wheat. Wheat grown after clover yielded 2'JJ bushels p x acre, while on au adjoining iot, where wheat followed wheat, only 15J bushels we e obtained. A southern farmer Had a large liel.l of woe it waicii yielded tity ten bushels per acre. He se.ded it to clover, mowed the clover for hay one year, uid pastured it the second year, then plowed ami sowed wheat ill the autumn- The result was that he harvested an excel lent crop of wheat, yielding at the ratj of twenty bushels per acre. Dr. Voelcker, chemist to the Royal Society of England, conducted a series of careful investigations to determine the cause of the beneiit of a clover crop as a preparatory crop for wheat. The conclusions arrived at are that during the growth of clover a large amount of nitrogenous m .tter accumulates in the soil; this accumulation, which is greatest in the surface soil, is due to the decaying leaves dropped during the growth of clover, and to au abundance of roots, containing Irom l i to 2 per cent, of nitrogen; and that the ni trogenous matters in the clover remained, and on their gradual decay are finally trans formed into nirates, thus affording a con tinuous source of food on which cereal crops especially delight to grow. By removing the clover roots from a square fo t of soil, analyzing them, anil calculating the total quantity of an acre from that datum, Dr. Voelcker found that in the soil of an acre of clover land, mowed once for hay and after ward left to seed, there were 3,622 pounds of roots which contained pounds of nitrogen. This amount of nitrogen would be sufficient for a large crop of wheat. Much of the wheat land in this country which yields only ten or twelve bushels of wheat per acre, might be rendered much more productive by alternating the wheat with clover occasionally. Rochester Post. TemDeraiice Department. EDITED BY THE W. C. T. TJ. Shot His Wife. The following is taken from the Oregonian of last S it. ir lay. "The ties that boua I a husband and wife together were last night rudely severed, not only fur life, but for eternity, by the murderous hand of hiin who had sworn to love, cherish and protect. The sharp crack of revolver ill Lochman's cigar store, corner of First and Taylor street, just after the clock had struck 8, and the muffled groans of a falling woman, with blood flowing from a wound in her side, were the lirst indicat:ons to the outside world that the greatest of all human crimes hail been committed. A half dozen em ployes of the manufactory stood for a moment aghast at the deed, then, as the perpetrator again raised the revolver and pointed it at the worn in lying piostrate at his feet, all rushed forward, seizing and disarming him. Policemen Smith and Araold, who had heard the shot, appealed furnish him go d and sufficient bedding at noon the sjene at this juncture, took charge all times; too drive him to fast; to jerk him by the bits; to whip him up hill, or to ruse ridges upon mm with tlie whip; to strike him if he shie; to strike him if h1 stumbles; to whip or beat him if he balks; to work him more than twelve hour3 a day; to turn him cut, when old, to die of neg lect and starvation De Witt, in Humane Journal. Election at Hewport, This County. The election at Newport came off on Monday of last week. Two distinct tickets were run which was termed 'Independent" ami "Municipal" tickets. Our informer states that the principal questions involved were temperance and anti-temperance and also the question of for anil opposition to a Sunday ordinance, which had recently been passed by the old council. The result was that about an even number were elect ed on either ticket. 1 he following are the names of the officers elected, to wit: C. H. Williams President of the Council, W. S. Hufford Recorder, M. M. Davis Treasurer, G. A. Landis Marshal. For Counciinien, C. Duncan, Wm. Hammond, Jnn. W. Brandt and Samuel Case. It seems that they succeeded in electing a good lot of men. Owing to the itsues involved an ex sited1 election was had. Indlcte-l. The last grand jury of Clackamas county indicted the' citizens of that county for keeping open stores on Sunday, under the general laws of the state. The indicted parties plead guilty and paid their fine. The following is the law under which these parties were indicted: If any person shall keep open any store shop, grocery, ball alloy, billiard-room or tippling-house, for purpose of labor or traffic, or any place of amusement, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday or the Lord's day, such person, upon convic tion thereof, shall be punished by a fine not less than five, nor more than fifty dollars; provided, that the above provision shall not apply to the keepers ol drug stores, doctor shirps, undertakers, livery -stable keepers, barbers, butchers and bakers, and all cir cumstances of necessity and meicy may be pleaded in defense, which shall be treated as Questions of fact for the jury to deter mine, when the offense is tried by jury. or the murderer, and hurried him away to the city jail. The doors of the place were quickly closed, b irring out the great crowd which had gathered. So quickly had it all happened that scarcely a man outside knew what had caused the excitement. The poor, unfortunate who was shot is Mrs. Mary Johnson, a hard avorking young woman about 25 years of age. Nearly three years ago, while living with her par ents at Seattle, under the m dden name of Williams, she married frank Johnson, and came to this city to live. For a little while they rented furnished room's, kept house and were happy, as such things go. John son was a waiter in a restaurant and earned reasonably good wages, but the keeping up of a home soon became tiresome to him He l.ad been taught to look upou woman as a slave, and it did not take him long to ar rive at the conclusion that his wife ought to earn the support for both. She was ac customed to making cigars, and went to work at that trade. But such a husband could not be long cared for by any woman, and life with Johnson soon became irksome to her, and at length absolutely unbearable. Nine months ago she left him, and has since refused all his solicitations to return. To escape his importunities some time ago she4 revisited the Sound, returning here three weeks ago. Johnston lost track of her, although he tried to follow ner, and he also returned to Portland Thursday night of this week." i'he, Quarterly Meeting oi the W. C. T. U. Dee 5th.

In this department much more will be done as soon as funds permit. Committee on reading room gave verbal report that the rooms now opened, together with bills paid and unpaid which were read by Secretary, would be sufficient evi dence of work done under this head in the last three months. Superintendent of Relative Statistics, re ports several statistics gathered, and sta tistics regarding the waste, pauperism and crime resulting from liquor traffic solicited from all interested in the cause. Corresponding Secretary, recruiting officers and Superintendent of "Scientific Education," failed to report. On suggestion from Mrs. Hines, State President, a Superintendent of "Ecclesias tical Sunday School, Editorial, Medical and other associations" was added to our work. A letter read from Col. Hogg of Now York, which contained an offer to the Union of Appleton's Enclyalopedia which was very thankfully accepted and most neartily appreciated. A circular contain ing list of Chautauqua gitnes, read and pproved of by the Uuiou for the Y. P. room. Several matters of interest were unavoij ibly left over until another meet ing. A great deal of interest was manifest ed by all tne members present and if we mistake not " the fire kindled of Cod" in our Union grows stronger. We are praying and working for more to become interested iii our work, more mothers and sisters to join our run ts. Deiieving tint it ail temper ance loving mother and sister were to join us we would make a band so strong and powerful that the " rum power" would tumble. The Union is now in good work ing order ready to wage a fierce war against the giant evil ot our land. WOODCOCK & BALDWIN'S THE BEST AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS! EE A L EST A TE A GEKCY.
