We have interviewed a number id the fruit growers of this vicini ty, and the opini f a laige majority of then is that the fruit was not hurt by the recent freer. It tumid be nofortuuate if the frnit crop of this year would prove a failure a last year's did, but it is very ini pnbable that snch will be the case: Labor Tcrkip.

The Directors have signed a notice to post, "That parties have been unlawfully entering the school house in district 23, and that hereafter all such parties thus trespassing will be appro bended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." 0. Arrested. Chris Kaegle, who is known by the name of "Old "hris," was arrested last Wednesday evening, by Deputy U S Marshal Watson, on the charge of furnishing some In- lians with whisky. The evidence as stated by the witnesses summoned in the case, is that Chris was noticed to pass a wood ile on his way home, and that soon afterwards the In dians were seen tn get a bottle ot whisky, or something else, from the stack nf wood. We suppose if any nf our citizens had been in that Vicinity, instead nf Chris, who is a harmless old man, he would have been arrested and thrown in jail, as the defendant was, anil taken tn Portland to answer in the U S Courts. One of the worst features of the case is that after being taken tn Portland, tried, and probably found innocent, be will be discharged, and being without money, old and helpless, he would suffer far the want of food, but thank to modern civilization, friends have furnished him with in iney which will enable him to re turn home. A m m that would maliciously and knowingly make a complaint against such a person is only tit to reek out an existence with the lowest of criminals. It would he far cheaper for our citizens to take up a subscrip tion for such a person and send him tn the Sandwitch Islands, or some other island of tho seas. We are also reliably informed that the Deputy Marshal refused to accept bail, which was offered by a reliable citizen, which is cer tainly censurable. Hklo to Answer. A young man by the name of Boot, who has boon working in the Springfield saw mill, last Sunday got on a spree and "took tho town," He procured a Winchester rille and defied the officers of the law. At about midnight word was sent to Sheriff Campbell of this city, about his doings, when the Sheriff went to Springfield aud nrrcsted Knot, finding him iu bed with his Winchester alongside hin. Monday he was tried before Justice Hamilton, of Springfield precinct, for the crime of assault with intent to kill, on the person of Mr J L Bcebe, Constable. After hearing the evi dence the Justice held the prisoner to await tho action of the Grand Jury in the sum of $(00. After laboring faithfully to find some one who would deposit that amount td secure his liberation, he succumbed to the inevitable, and is now boarding iu jail at the expense of the county. If he should get a term 1j the penitentiary, ha wjll not think it so funny to "run" a town even as small as Springfield. ( Betains Hia Position, We are pleased tn announce to the many friends of Mr II H Gilfry, that he still retains his position in the U S Senate. We clip the following com plimentary remarks concerning him from a Washington correspondence in the Portland Standard-, "With all the removals in the Senate employes, no one has ever suggested the removal of Hon H H Gilfry, the very elficiont Legislative aud Beading Clerk of the Senate. By his uniform kindness and courtesy, he has gained the esteem, respect and confidence, not only of the Democratic Senators, but of the leading and most in fluential Senators on the other side of the chamber. He has kept himself well posted on the rules aud parlimentary practices, so that his services, sometimes to the presid ing officer, have been invaluable. There is 'no chance of Mr Gilfry being removed for many years yet, as it looks now, as he baa earned, as he deserves, the confidence of all the Senators of both political parties." ' Lively Town. Drummers inform ns that Eugene is the liveliest interior town in the State of Oregon, and its merchants are the surest business men they sell to in the Northwest There has not been a failure in Eugene for several years, which certainly speaks well for our little city. Its greatest need at the present time is the establishment of manufactories in onr midst which would attract people to our town. Another want is the building of dwellings, which would pay handsomely on the amonnt invested. There has not been an empty dwelling fit to live in in our town for the past eighteen months. Or ncERi Elected. At the annual school meeting last Monday, Mr Wm Smith was elected a director for the term ot three years, and J E Feuton clerk, for the term of one year.

The case of Win Bloxam, for the murdrr of Jacob Fisher, was given to ths Jury Wednes day afternoon at 20 o'clock on the sixth day of the trial. The Jury after being out two and a half hours, brought In a verdict of murder in the second degree, and the prisoner was re manded till Saturday for sentence. While the aspect of ths case, as brought out by the evi dence, was very black, and showed that Blox am had been guilty of a great crime, still it was not expected that he would be convicted of murder In the first degree, a the oouusel for th defense succeeded in making it appear that the old man Fisher was an agvresiiv and probably a danxerons man, especially when m liquor r in anger. Yet the fact brought out were conclusive that Bloxam was in a great measure accountable for the death of Fisher. That the verdict i a just one cannot be doubted. A life time in the penitentiary is a little less punishment than hanging, but it Is commensurate with Bloxam 's crime. Ihe usual motion in arrest of Judgment will prob ably be made.
