Last Monday Jesse Houck, of Monroe, was in Corvallis and had occasion to visit the. slaughter yard of D. A. Osburn. While there and assisting in the manigement of an unruly steer he met with a novel but for tunately not a serious adventure. The en raged animal, with its hair all turned the wrong way, bent on death and destruction, made a pass and "hooked on to" Jesse, the point of its horn barely missing him and passing through the buttonhole of his coat. The coat proved to be a substantial one, and Jesse was in this manner dragged around the yard some considerable distance, before being released from his all but comfortable situation, When at last the horn tore its way through the bu hole, and Jesse harl gathered himself to r e in a safe place, it was found that he w v j bruised in the least, credible as t in y eem.

The ridiculousness of the criticism in last week's "Leader," headed '-Save the Queen's fcmglish," has attracted considerable atten tion, coming a it di.l from a sheet that was never issued without a score of blunders, md to show the egotism of the hap that runs it, several of our . itizeus have clipped items from the paper and attached a few comments which we publish: There were several errors in our columns last week.

As analogies are in order, the Leader should apologize for the swell notices, had spelling and giammar of the past six months or more. Why not apologize for Maud's non appearance? It was so interesting to hear from Maud. It is a very important point to inform the readers of the Leader that the boss-man is editor, proof-reader, type-sticker, etc. It is also a very import ant point to inform the readers that "'mis takes ate always made when the boss-man isa.vay."
