On a Horn.
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

never issued without a score of blunders,
md to show the egotism of the

the paper and attached a few comments
which we publish:

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

cranky, and it is recommended that yon
again resort to the prescription left under
your plate about three weeks ago.
