The senate committee on finance con tinued consideration of Senator Sher man's bill to declare trusts unlawful. After adopting several amendments which do not affect the principle or scone of the measure, the committee ordered a favorable report to be made to the senate. In the senate Hale, from the census committee, retwrted back adversely the bill to reipiire the superintendent of the census to ascertain what percentage of the people own tlinlr farms, the number of farms under mortgage and the amount thereof. Senator Mitchell's bill appropriating !50,()00 (or a public building at The Dalles, and Senator Dolph's bill appro priating $100,000 for a public building at Salem, have been agreed to by the com mittee on public buildings and grounds, snd will lie reported favorably without amendment.

SOCIETY ON JUQ RIDGE Tn Uattardl) fraud PrptrUd by tk Mtovsr's Mill Ikrt. tiT"Tb corn-husklng at Bub Sny der's place Saturday evening was a so cial event long looked forward to, and drew together a large number of our best young people. It was the initial event of this kind this season, and was bold ln the now burn on the back place. Some of the fitover Mill set were there, and only for their presence among th cultured ladles and gentlemen of the Ridge every thing would bave passed off with the utmost harmony. It Is a pleas ure to record that four of these wretches were laid out hors de combat very early In the evening, and were taken borne on a stone sled by friends wbo were them selves in need of the ministering kind ness of friends with a stone slod and a yoke of oxen. tWIt was observed early ln the busk ing that the Stover's Mill boys were getting all the red ears and consequent ly was kissing our girls right and left, while the Ridge boys were simply left, if you will pardon a witticism. The Stover's Mill crowd had been around the circuit half a dozen times escb, while the Ridge boys were left to suck our thumbs, as It were. We of Jug Ridge busked like fury in order to find a red ear and enjoy the delicious osculatory privileges wblcb came with It, but were doomed to disappointment. We rip ped the husk off like mad men, and were finding nothing for our pains, wben at the same time the Mill boys were kept busy kisalng our cbsrmlng girls. The adverse luck of the Ridge boys was ex- oltlng much cbargln, wben Io and tie hold it was discovered by a lucky chance that the Stover's Mill crowd of hood lums were perpetrating s most dastardly fraud and outrage upon us a deep laid and diabolical piece of business, viz: tlT It was found that they had pre pared and brought wHh them a can of red dye made, we think, of pokeberry juice, and this tbey hsd bung with dev ilish Ingenuity nnder of Jh chairs occupied by -them. TIM plan of opera tion was for som one of th Stover's Mill boys to occupy this chair, and when be got ready an ear of corn would be surreptitiously Immersed In this dye. In a moment It would be dry, and then, with a dexterity bora of the devil, it would be flashed upon the busking party as a bona flde rod ear fresh from the busk. This would not be gainsaid and the fraudulent finder, with a wild swoop, would make the grand rounds of our girls, kissing every one be could grab, and none escaped. Thou ln the excite ment attendant upon the wholesale kiss ing some other on of the Stover's Mill party would get this chair with the dy under it and th same outrage would be repeated. Is It any wonder these das tards were getting all th red ears? Our blood bolls with righteous Indignation when we think of this nefarious scheme snd the brazen manner in which it was carried out. tfTNced we say that a riot followed this dlsoovory? Nay, we wot not. We ot tho Ridge are not mad of the stuff that tamely submits to such unseomly conduct. It was the lynx eye of Perse vere Benson who detected Zebulon Boyd dipping a yellow ear Into the red dye under bis chair, and in less time than it takes to tell it, he "climbed his form," in common parlanoe, and a very pretty rough and tumble followed. We think Persevere lacked discretion in tackling Zebulon, as tho latter is known to be ono of the most wiry of the Stover's Mill crowd. Pereevsre was no match for him, we regret to say, and Zebulon scattered the corn-heap with his gallant form in a startling manner. With rare presence of mind under distressing olr eumstancos Persevere managed to point to tho can of pokeberry juioo under the chair and th mystery of the sudden at tack was msde clear. An ear ot corn was even found In the oan, Zob not hav ing had time to remove It tlf'l wish I eould convey to my many readers an adequate picture of th scene which followed this dlsoovory. But bore Is whore the puny pen falls from the nerveless grasp. With a yell ot rage, the Ridge boys sprang at the throats of the dastardly Mill crowd and literally flayed them alive, albeit my duty as a journalist compels m to say that th Mill boys were there or there shouts all tbe time. By a regretable eolnoldonce, after the two contending parties bad each olosed ln with a foe man, there was no man left for your cor respondent to assail. Although I wa wrought up to a pitch of wild frenzy and eager for th fray I bad to ascend the hay-loft, whither the ladies bad fled, to see that no ill befell them. Tbe con flict that raged below was something not often seen since th knights of old mopped the ensanguined with all that waa mortal of each other. UT We are requested to announce that the spelling bee at the red school-house next Tuesday evening, at which a num ber ot the Ridge boys were expected to oontoat, has been postponed tor six woeks.

I 6lr Edwin Arnold' lB n ccount 0 his voyage to America, says: I "Every day we see, playing round the ship and skimming up and down the I wave-hollows, companies of lovely little terns and sea swallows, the latter no larger than thrushes. These fearless people of the deep have not by any means followed us from the land, living, as gulls often will, on the waste thrown from the vessel. They are vague and casual roamers of the ooean, who, spying j the great steamship from afar, have sailed close up, to see if we are a rook I or an Island, and will then skim away 1 again on their own free and boundless business. "Yonder tiny bird, with purple and green plumage, his little breast and nock laced with silver, is distant one thousand miles at this moment from a ' drop of fresh w..-, and yet cares no more lor that iact man aia tne insn squire who 'lived twelve miles from a lemon.' "If his wings ever grow weary, it is but to settle quietly on the bosom of a great billow and suffer it for a time to rock and roll him amid the hissing spindrift, the milky flying foam, and the broken sea-lace which forms and gleams and disappears again upon the dark slopes. "When he pleases, a stroke of the small red foot and a beat of the wonder ful wing launch him off from the jagged edge of his billow, and he flits past us at one hundred knots an hour, laughing steam and canvas to scorn, and steering for some nameless crag in Labrador or Fundy, or bound, it may be, homeward for some island or marsh of the far-away Irish coast. "Marvelously expressive of power as Is our untiring engine, which all day and all night throbs and pants and pulses ln noisy rhythm under the deck, what a clumsy, imperfect affair it is compared to the dainty plumes and delicate mus cles which will carry that pretty, fear less sea swallow bock to his roost!" London Daily Telegraph. A HUNTING ADVENTURE. A. Miraculous Escape of a Hungarian Lawyer from a Huge Bear. A thrilling advonture with a bear oc curred a few days ago at Wallendorf, In Hungary. The following is the account given by Advocate Forster, who, as will be seen, narrowly escaped with his life: "I went with a party of friends to the neighboring mountains to shoot roe deer. There were plenty of them, only the dogs hounded them away to the val ley beyond. I consequently changed my place and took my stand at a SDot 1 wnicn 1 xnew to be favorable. Pres ently I heard the dogs coming, but fancied from their bark that they were chasing a boar. I quickly with drew my shot cartridges and put ln bullets, but what was my surprise to see a huge bear trotting quietly towards me, apparently regardless of the dogs. When within seventy paces I fired and saw him fall, but nevertheless I thnncrht it t , , , wS proceeded to a hillock close by and called my companions, but hardly had I raised my voico ere the bear got up and made straight for me.
