The Dninocntia motto is: Kconnuiy in all public olliocH and fidelity in all public tru.slH, A political mistake only amounts to a crime when you get left. Missouri has just sent another negro murderer straight to heaven. There, at all events, is where he said he was go'i'g. Hrief sermons are the Miortoiit pat I s to heaven.

As a consequence stock is pro tected and thrives Utter, which amply illustrate the benefits ot a bounty law. Oregon should have just such a one, and if our legislators do nothing else next year, they ought to give it to the people. The deer-skiniu r, whose oc cupation vns destroyed by the game Jaw, could thus find congenial employ unit again. It is said that all Knuhuul is literally a morass and winter wheat is rotting in the ground and whatever may happen tho harvest will bo a poor one this year.
