Undoubtedly this falling off in tho v. luation of property i due to rust last year. We understand that it will not ueoosaitt) the raising of taxes. As Artit.

The artist has been successful iu. se curing a View of the grand old mountain at a time when Nature herself was adorning the scene in.her most, vivid colors, and the erest of perpetual snow rises majestically above the vista of purple haze, while nearer are the placid waters of the river, which present a striking contrast to trees and rug- red rocks of the extreme Lrecnmnd. Mr Espey has a fine picture of the entrance to the Golden Gate completed., and is now at work on a view 'of the Three Sis ters, a Southern Oregon mountain sketch, which he will have fimshed in time to be on exhibition at the Mechanics' Fair."

On Sunday morning last at about 10:30 A M, the good people of this town were some what startled to leiru of tho escape of an in mate of the comity jail. The shorill' has al ways locked the prisoners in the cells at night, hut iu the day time allowed them to remain in the large room, with shackles on. There were two prisoners in jail one, Mc- Namerra, who was recently recaptur-id in Portland, and Harry Wise, who some time since robbud tho residence of Mr. W. C. Ed wards, near Junction City, and was bound over iu the sum of 1400 bail. They man aged, while nobody was in hearing to pry off a board from one of the door jams, aud then used the board for a battering rain knocking out tho stone wall; and succeeded iu a short time in making a large hide in ti c wall. Wise succeeded iu removing his shackles and at once mude his escape. While passing along the struct north of the jail, he was recog nized hy a boy, Master Andrew Huff, who gave the alarm. A crowd at ouce left aud scoured the woods near the city, but no ciue . .... ...... i was. touna nl ine escaped prisoner. mo Ntifjarra did not go out of tho jail, as ha had a 13 pound shackle on, which alone pre vented his escaping also. The shackle Wise bad on had previously been woru by Mc Nemirra, but he repeatedly took them off so he was given the hea-y one. It seems strange to us that the Sheriff did not procure anoth er shackle, after knowing that the one he had on Wise was worthless. The authority .a should at once take action in regard to building a now jail, or repairing the present one, so at least it would hold a man without any assistance whatever but bis hands. Be Caheh,l. The, prestntcondition c urtiwii, relative to tie natter of safety fro.n fire, demand the the strictest care aud precaution on the part of our citizuiis to prevent a disastrous blaze. There are peo ple iu this world who. take nOf cognizance of timely admonitions, and are mads to realize their situation only when overtaken by the dire calamity against which they have been warned.. A Fire Warden should certainly be appointed at once, who should notify property owners, esitfdally on Willamette street, U clear their rot.fs of moss, at a spark might kindle a fire that would destroy thous ands of dollars worth f property. Window Smasher An obstreperous in dividual by the name of August Hooestrom was arrested one day this week by Marshal Attebery, who escorted him to the city jail, but when said individual objwted to biug put in the cell, and resisted the officer, Mar shal Attebery locked him in the front room and went to the Court House for !ielp. When he returned he found that Hooestroni had broken every glass in both windows and waa in the act of climbing out. Thursday be was tried Wore Justice Henderson, who sen tenced him to pay fine uf $25 or 12 days imprisonment in the conoty jaiL He chose the latter.

American,, might give a false impression in relation to the death of my reverend mother. It is true that at the time of her death she was alone, aud of late years has much pre ferred to live much to h erself. But it is not true that she was desolate or lonely in any sense of these words. She owuod her own house, which was ample and hail ample means to sustain it. She kept a room fully furnished and ready all times for each mem ber of her family, whether present or absent. Servant were always ready when needed, and her bouse was always open to relatives aud neighbors. She was ho pitabld to the poor. She was a prisoner of the war of 1812 her husband, the late Dr Grover, having served as an assistant surgeon iu that war. He waa surgeon-iu-chief of the forces of Matue called out by Guveroor Fairchild to settle our northeastern boundary with Great Britian in 1S37. He waa one of the framers of the coustitiou of the great State of Maine, aud served iu hilh brauches of her legislature. Since the death of her late hus band a sou has resided uear her, aud has been accustomed to visit her every morning and evening every day until last June, wheu be went west, at her suggestion, on a tour, leaving his mother in her usual good health. One of her sons, General C Groyor, United States Army, visited her during the present month with his family, aud had gone but two days when her death occured. He re turned at onco. I was to visit her with my family in September, but her sands of life had run, and she lay down to rest as if in a Jeep. Her brother writes: "She had aris- eu Sunday morning and dressed as usual, and wouud Hip her clock, and probably feeling tired went to lay on her bed in her morning wrapper, and died without thinking any thing unusual was, about to. happen. She died as ishe always said she wished to, qui etly .without knowing anything about it." She was no recluse, but took au active part in the interests of society about her. She read the puhlis journals ai.d kept up thecur rcut of public affairs. Her correspondence with absent members of her family was con stant up to the timo of her death. . She ad vised her soi.s in public and business affairs and her advice was always sound. Shu was a life long conimunicaut or the church. Hor faith was a certaiuty to her, rnd her works followed her faith. Fortunate he who lives and dies as well. Personal. Capt Humphrey, of Albany was iu town Thursday.
