Of Isterkst to Spoiithwun. The follow
ing is a summary of the State game laws;
The season for shooting wild swan, mallnrd,
wood ducks, widgeon, sprigtail, canvasltack
ami other ducks, emls May 1st, ami begins
Sept 1st. The season for trout fulling bil
ging April 1st and ends October 30th. As
to deer; bucks may be killed trom July 1st
to Octo ber 30th, and does from August 1st
to December 31 st. Elk must not be killed
from January 1st to August 1st. As to
when the law ceases to protect Mongolian
pheasants, it must he remembered that the
tune was extended at the late special session
of the legislature, whicli passed an act pro
viding that "for ami (luring six years trom
the passage thereof it shall m unlawful to
injure, kill, take, expose or oiler for sale, or
have possession except for breeding pur
poses, any Mongolian pheasant,- green Jap
anese, copper, Tragopan, silver or golden
pheasant. The penalty is a line of not
less than 9T)0 nor more than $101), r to
serve out tine in jail at the rate of $2 per
day.
PnisoNEKS Escape. During Friday night,
April 9th, the four prisoners confined in the
county jail awaiting the action of the grand
jury escaped by sawing off the steel bolt, the
size of which was 2J inches by 1 inch, and fled
for parts unknown. It is evident that tools
were passed into them through tha grating by
outside parties. Deputy Sheriff Cochran ar
rested two of the escaped prisoners, John
Breen and James Burns, about two miles south
of Corvallis Sunday morning, and Sheriff
Campbell brought them to this city Monday
afternoon. This was remarkably quick work
considering the distance traveled. The other
two men, Win Kay and Win Burns, are still
at liberty, but they will undoubtedly be caught
as the othcers are on their track.
Stole Horse I'ei'Overkd. Geo H War
ren, of Brownsville, recovered a stolen horse
in Albany last Saturday, for which he had
been looking about two weeks. The horse
was stolen near Brovtsville about two weeks
ago by one F T Williams, who took it to
Eugene where he subsequently sold it to L
Senders, of Albany. The latter took it to
Albany with a shipment of nine horses laat
week, where it was recognizee by Mr war
ren and turned over to him. A warrant for
ttie arrest of Williams has been issued in
both Linn and Lane counties, and he will
doubtless be brought within the grasp of the
law.

Obituary.
Lsittita Dillard, wife of the Rev Samuel
Dillanl, died at her home in Cottage Grove,
Laue county Oregon, Dec 30, 1885, in the C8th
year of her age. The subject ot this notice
was born In the State of Tenne er. Her
maiden name was Kelly. She emigrated to
Missouri with her parents when but a child,
and was married to John Cochran and emi
grated to Oregon in the Spring of 1850, and
settled in Lane county. Mr Cochran died in
1858, anil in 1859 she was married to Rev
Samuel Dillanl Sister Dillanl profess! re
ligion when quite young, and was a most earn
est, consistent christian woman, and a mem
ber of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
until the day of her death. She was one of
those women which combined those noble
traits of character which made her a good
honest business woman, having considerable
business of her own to attend, and at the sains
time a good wife, mother and most humble
christian. She was charituhU to a fault, and
was emphatically a woman of prayer. She
learned in early life to pray, a practice she
kept up through life. To the children o( the
deceased: Your mother ia gone; you will see
her no more upon earth, She has left yon
some property, the result of her own industry
and economy, a token of her love and cure for
you In this life; she has also left you that which
the believed was of infinitely more value to
you, the example of a pious life. Live that
life that you may die the christian's death, ami
with her share the rewards of eternal life.
