A short time after they left it they heard a noise, nud, looking ba.-k, say the business bluze up mid dia pear. A small avalanche bad upset, the acid and ignited the Hie. It was too bad that they, and so many others, should be disap pointed iu seeing what promised to bo the grandest sight of Hood ever witnessed. They reached the summit of the mountain in good time and without accident, ami loft their autographs iu the "visitor's register" left there by a former party. They found a bible and this book, together with a lady's photograph in a good stato of preservation, stowed awav in a can. A Friendly Waknino. We clip tho follow ing from last Sunday's Salem Statesman: Know ye, ynu towns ami cities south of us, that there is now en route to ynu a wealthy beggar-bilk on wheels. He is a miserable lit tle deformed scoundrel, who works his way around the country on a wheeled chair, freight trains, etc., with a hand organ, and hangs around the principal corners ot the city, grind ing out his miserable, screeching music, and begging alms. He was tired out of Cortland by Chief nf Police Parrish, and had it been learned before he left that he was paying taxes on over 815,000 what would be considered a competency by tho kind people who pity and give to him ho would have been forcibly ejected from this rily. lie is not honorable nor deserving of alirs, and the good cop! from whom lie begs should know Ins character.

Euuknk Cirv, Or., July 10, 1883. Editok Gi Aiio: 1 riml the following iu the Salem Statesu.au of July 9th: "We met Hun. M. Wilkins, member of the state agricultural board, fiom Laue county on his arrival in this city yesterday, aud asked him about the mixing of dates for the state fair with those of the Laue comity fair. He "aid the trouble lay wholly with two or three men in that county, who allowed tiieir stub bornesa to overcount their good judgment, Mr W expressed the thought that the mat ter would b amicably adjusted before the date arrived, by the Lane county people holding tht ir fair before the state fair. The fact that I ai vesting will be over earlier than usual, he thought would cause them to give the date to the statu association, as they can hold theirs earlier. He says in any event Laue county will have a good exhibit at the state exposition." To satisfy the unwilling soul of Uo Statesman editor I can inform him once for all, that the date will not be changed! It wai set without conflicting with the statu fair, when the board of direc tors nf that concern, changed their dam to that of the Luuu county lair. I think that tho trouble lay not only with "Iwo'or threo stubborn men. Hardly a man w ho has the best interest, of the county fair at heart would now be in favor of changing dales. It is the state fair at Salciu that should change dates, as they are tho transgressore. From the Lano o unty exhibit at Salem this year there will ho missed a great portion of unusual merit and excellency. "A SiT iiiioBM Mas." Insane. A man was noticed wandering around eur streets aimlessly last Thursday evening. He was interviewed and it was pUiu to bo seen that ho was mentally unsound. The Sheriff' t iok him iu charge and kept him in Confine ment until Friday morning. Ho gave his nauio as John Tow, and said ho had a di vorced wife and seven children living in Mendocino county, California, had worked in the Kogue lliver Vulley; bad been in the Napa and Stockton insane asylums anil was 51 jenrsofuue. Wednesday night ho says h tried to commit suicide some miles above Eugene. His unn at the wrist was cut near ly to the bone, uud ho bail a Small cut on the neck, and was weak from the loss of blood. After ti examination before Judge Wuslibunie, Special Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Collier, Medical Examiners Urs llDriis aud Slndtnii, Friday morning, he was pronounced insane. Domestic troubles seem to be the cause. Deputy Sheriff Coch ran took tho unfortunate man to the asylum yesterday morning. Stabbing Affray. News comes to us ot a stabbing affray that occuied between Arthur Hraiidenberg of llarriaburg. and Geo .Smith, of Coburg, at the former place last Wednesday. It ap" pears from our information that Smith had borrowed a few dollars from Brandeuberg ou the Fourth aud that ou the evening of the affray the latter bail asked Smith to repay amount which Smith refused to do and In ciiino angry and pommeled his opponent. UrniidenluT;; thin took out his pocket knife ami warned his adversary not to strike him again, when Smith tried to clinch him, when llraudciiberg inflicted a severe wound jut over hi", heart. At last ace lints the wounded man was resting easily, and it was thought he w.iuhl recover, lioth parties bad becu drinking a little prior t the affray. School Report. ('!li:iii:u, July 7, 1885. En.
