Our Spimer I'.iittii correspi indent writes under dale of Feb. oth: A land slide last Monday night. People for miles around on tbe soiiih side, of Spen cer's butte were awakened by a rumbling uoise that r.-iulilin' thunder. The next looming it was sreti that a part of the south side o( the butte had gived away, and the result was an immense land slide. About forty or fifty acres of laud which was before covered with oak and tir litntier was covered from 4 to 10 feet iu depth and uot a tree cau be seen. Large trees wer crushed and ground into splinters. Aquaiterol a mile of Mr. Crow's fence is covered up. and I think lie will have some trouble iu getting the rails out. It is the largest land slide I have ever seen or heard of, and if auy oue does not believe it is as large as I say, ha bad better go aud see for himself and be convinced. Pkik. Died.

She came home from school at oue o'clock and her mother scolded her for being late. Soon after she became sick slid com menced to vomit. It was a couple of hours before she admitted having taken the poison and then it was too Into. Physicians were summoned at once, but s'.ie died at 'i o'clock Saturday morning. She was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and stood high in her classes at the public school. The funeral took place from the C.

Sheriff Sloan had made a trusty of him aud allowed him considerable liberty. HiB confidence however was misplaced, as the young man left Monday evening going south on tho railroad truck. An effort bud been made to secure his pardon which it was thought would have been successful) as a numerous ly signed petitiou had been forwarded to Governor Pennoyer. His term would have expired in April. While be was a trusty, he gave the sheriff information, real or pre tended is not known, as to Ibe designs of oilier prisoners to escape. School N'otks.

The Highest Water Since IHiilI.ane County Loses $10,000 in ltoails and Bridges No Trains or Mails for 7 Days lleifvy Losses in Liwer Valley. Telegraphic Advices. Another of the periodical floods to which the Willamette valley is liable has come and goue leaving more or less destruction, ac cording to locality, iu its wake. Tbe flood of the present year makes the fourth iu number of auy considerable extent kuowu to white inhabitants, and by a singular coinci dence they come by decades. The first was iu Il; the second aud highest kuowu was iu December Isiil, whou muiiy lives were lost, stock destroyed and houses waslo d away. It came the secoud day of tho mouth, aud ou tho ninth another raise came reach ing utmost as high a atiige. lu that flood the water at Eugene was betwueu 21 and 2,j (eet above low water mark, and skiffs were rowed through Willamette stiot. On the l.llh day of Juuuary I SMI the Willamette at Eugene attained a height ol 21 feet above low water. A wurui heavy r.uu fell continu ously from Suuday evening till Wednesday nioruiug. Tuesday Uiorniug of last week ruin com menced lulling accompaiiied by high wiuds, aud there was but little cessation of either ruin or wind until Tuesday evening of this wi i k. The river commenced gradually ris ing and Monday morning tbe M, reached a bight of 21 feet V inches above low water mark at the water company's pumping sta tiou. At the Eugene mill it showed tbut it lacked 9 inches of reaching the 'Hi mark. Tbe liver fell all day, about 2 (eet, uutil 8 o'clock in tbe evening wbeu it again advanced, aud came to a staud 1 o'clock Tuesday afteruoou registering 22 feet 1 iuch. At tbe mill it was V iuches higher lhau iu 1SH1. The water gauge at the bridge showed 20 feet t iuches, but the low water of last summer was 22 iuches below the end of the guage, occasioned by tbe washing out of the river bed. Old settlers aver that it lacked IS to 24 iuches of reaching the point attaiued iu IStil. IUMAOKS. Laue county bus been particularly fortu nate tbut with her many rapid streams no loss of life has occurred. Many families were carried iu boats from their homes iu the river bottoms to places of safety on high ground. Stock was driveu out, iu many in stances before the height of the flood came,as it was well kuowu that the uiouutaius were full of suow, which with a warm wind would be converted into water aud ruu with rapidi ty to the valley. Mauy miles of feuciug have beou washed away, hup yards have generally been deuuded ol their hop poles, a small amount of stock has been drowned, and some bottom lauds have been rendered almost valueless by the current washing away the soil. The loss will fall on many aud while small individually will amount to a large sum, probably $100,000 iu tho county iu tbe aggregate. BUI1HIES. Lane couuty has suffered severely in the loss of bridges, and it ia a reasonable esti mate that $40,000 will be required to replace Ihose washed out. The Springfield bridge, the largest und most expensive in the oouuty, washed away about 7 o'clock Tuesday uiorniug. The pier iu tbe ceuter of tbe river, although rust lug on bedrock to which it was drift bolted, was so weukeued by tbe rushing drift and water that it gave way aud the two spaus fell up stream with a crash into tbe river. Oue spuu was soou kuocked to 'pieces but the other passed through the cliauuel ou the other side of tbe Eugene bridge apparently intact, aud lauded ubout two miles below on the Sheltou farm. Tbe approaches ou both sides of tbe river, aud the two side piers, were not washed away. This bridge was built iu lh8l by A 8 Miller & Sou, tore place the one washed away by tbe flood of that year. Tbe east spuu was 220 feet, the west span 100 feet, and tho coutruct price wits $14,275. When the bridge fell several parties wero ou the east eud aud narrowly escaped being caught in the falling timber. The bridge across the Coast Fork ou the road from Eugene to Pleasant 11 ill weut out Tuesday uouu. It was a 2J0 foot spun and wus built by A. 8. Miller it Sou in WM, lit a cost of $o,000. The Taylor bridge across tbu west fork of the Coast Fork, V, miles above Cottage Grove, succumbed Suuday uoon. It was of the Howe truss patteru, aud was built iu lbSO aud cost JJ.UlO. Tbe Big Fall creek bridge, IS miles from Eugene, also fell a victim to the waters of Ibe mountain stream which it spanned. Drift caught on oue of the piers aud it was carried awuy. It was built iu lo7'J, aud cost $1700. Tho Cole bridge across the Mohawk 17 miles from Eugene was also washed out, Loss about $100. The short span aud tho approach of the Eugene bridge across the Willamette on the east side of tbe river could uot withstand the mass of drift that camo against it aud weut Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. Scores of people bad been atauding on it all day, aud although frequently warned of the dun ger would not stay off. Fortunately, dark ness had driven them away, else we would in all probability have to reooid loss of life as wbeu it gave away tbe immense amount of drift crushed it into kindling wood. This was built in 18S1 at a cost of $1400, to re place the one washed away by that flood. About one-half of the loug bridge across tbe Coyote creek, 8 miles west of Eugene is gone. It will cost about $000 to replace it The bridge across the Long Tom bottom at the Duckworth bridge also washed away. Loss about $330. A large drift formed serosa the Haydeu bridge which spans the McKenzie 8 miles from Eugene. It was held by a tree that reached upward to the bridge floor. The bridge was iu great danger, and was only saved by the courageous action of Messrs. Edwards and Johu Davis, who were lowered by ropes and cut the key which bold the drift, allowing it to go crashing down the river. About 1)0 feet of the approach on tbe south side was carried away. J. E. Davis has been ordered to put this in at once. The foregoing account of estimates does not include the cost ot sussrintudeiits, plans, aud advertising and in some cases of approaches. Many small culverts and bridges have also been waaJied out, and it will 1st readily seen that our estimate of a $"i,OU0 loas to tbe county ia a moderate one. All then biidges are on main lines of travel an t will have to be re placed as soon as possible Id the meantime ferries will be put in at Eugene, HprinKtield and on the Coast Fork to accommodate travel. Id rcGE.vi The damage done wan DominaL Comparative ly a small irt of the town waa floodes. The backwaU-r oivered the property adjacent to the ditch lliatei tends from the mill Uii race around to Bangs' stable. Only three families han to move out, the wUr slightly covering their Amirs. There was no current arid while sidewalks were floated and some wood scatter cd: no other damage was sustained. The rail road Krade was an excellent levee, and with the exception 0"d Kuiene was high ar.d dry. Th w.urr in the pumping station of the Eu gene Water Company wa about tight feet deep. Had it been necessary the pumps c-uld hsv run nailer water, but the precaution had heeo taken to till lbs reservoir to the brim, and the water supply was ailnat. The small Ih acn-s the mill race at Pat tenon Street ti stusl and swun- around, but was seeure.1 at one end by a rope.

The slaughter bouse belonging to Patterson ,( Miller near by was washed from iis foundation and moved alsiut 10 feet. They lost 2o head ot hogs. The river bottom east of town bus been badly washed by the current in some places. Ex-Assessor Chas Hulluiau lost several acres of his hop yard, only half au acre remaining. All hia hop poles and fencing went. F M VYilkina' land was badly washed, aud Joseph Mvers lost of an acre. The isittom hinds are coveted with sedinn lit fioui I lo 12 iuches deep.

Several hundred thou and feet of these vent with the river nud were lost. The remainder arc scattered over tln priinc, u gn nl number being on the Kelly, Mcllee and Thurston farms. It will require considerable expense to haul tho logs buck. Tue flood gates were washed out, and a deep channel cut between the grist null and Mr Wheeler's otlice.

Pres Rain appointed for two weeks hence: Ibt lecitatious, Miss Hopkins; reading, Ethel Hunter, and leaders on debate, Ida Patterson ou tho aillrniutive, and A unit Cruiu on the negative. The question chos eu is, "Resolved, That the mind is benefitted more by reading thau by observation." The attendance of members of our so. ciety is gradually but surely increasing, jot we are uot fully satisfied with the attend nnco. It seems as though with llio number of young ladies who nro members of tho so ciety we should havo a larger uimiter pres ent at these meetings; with the number that are attending tho I'nivcrsity, should havo a larger society. We eurnt Btly desiro to havo our society morn fully represented in tho future; as we all know lb it society work is very important and useful as well us pleas aut and iutere-ting. The question debuted was, "Rcsolv.ul, Thut the women of tho United Suites should have tho right of stillrngn." This was sus tained ou the ullirm .live by Stella llruckeii, Anna Cram aud Fauuio Condon, and op posed ou the negitivo by Anna Roberts, Me lissa Hill, Clara Condon, and Ida Patterson. The debate was eagerly ami ililligeully con tested. Wo will feive otily a few of the ninny points made ou each side. There was brought forward on the uliirmativc: That women have to pay luxes, which is luxation without representation; tint women are try ing to get rid of tho curse of rum; that they are more competent to vote than a foreigner or negro; that in tho history of the crusades tbe women were of great benefit to tho army ami that they would tuiiko the government better. Tho negative untdo tho following points: The intlm nco of women iu politics caused the downhill of Rome; they are not physically strong enough to compete with men; they would lose many courtesies which are showu them; they are only seeking ofllce; they are easily discouraged, women have cot tbe bruins iu that direction, thero would be rivalry iu every household, and it would de stroy wouiau's influence with a wayward boy. Space foi bids giving any more of this argument. Tho disctissiuu was given by Pres. liaiu iu favor of the negative. I'MVKUSlTT NOTES. Lille Young has returned to school after n short illuoss.

AIISCELLANKOl'8. Mr. Oore found a pleasant diversion lost Mouday from school duties by fishing wood out of the flood, Alus, for the ficklouess of human hopes! So thought the Laurtuii editor while chasing his hut across Ihocutnpus last week. We wonder if llertie is studying plastio art? We think she must be by tho diligent way lu which she was practicing the other day. Suuday the attraction for the students was at the Eugene bridge; even Prof. Carson thought the circumstauces sufllciont to jus tify her to take tbe loug wulk iu the rain. One day this week two students were seen busily fishing iu oue of the many ponds caused by tbe rise of water. We fulled to learu whether their labors were rewarded or uot.

Tbe literary pudding not arriving the company was obliged to go hungry; theuium part was postponed uutil auother limn. We were very much surprised lust week by the Laurean editor's advertising our edi toriul note book as ha did. We could have reproduced auy of the items if we had de sired, but we bad been informed that tbe Laureans bod read and reread them until we supposed they would be old, consequently we wrote something new. We do not wish to publish old items but if it is desirable we can have the "rich literary" contents of that book printed in pamphlet form. However, we wish to correct a mistake, made in adver tising the book. When we lost it there was nothing iu it in defense ot "Clyde." There was, however, an item about the many ac complishments of the Laurean editor and bis not being brave enough to compete with "Ajax," iu which we gave "Clyde" as au thority for our iufoimation. We had noticed the Laurean editor gave him ss authority so mauy times that we thought ha was ths per son to look to lor items, aud so we did it. Obituary. The subject of this memoir, Miss Mary Dluuche Smith was born iu Ediuboro, Iud., Ang. 15, 1875. and died Feb. 1st., 181)0, at her home In Eugene, Oregon. She professed faith iu Christ iu lb(l7, aud joiued the Cum berland Presbyterian eburch. Blanche was an intelligent, nclive girl, kiud hearted, modest and trustful. She was human, therefore not perfect; she gave evidence of her faith in Christ and was regular at church. She was conscious in her last hour and expressed a readiness to go and a willing ness to meet her Saviour, tier spirit is now in the bauds of a just, yet mercilul and lov ing God, and wa are glad il is God who de cides, and that nothing we may say on this occasion nor Ibe opiuion of any will change her weal or woe. We then to-day show Ibis tribute of resect to her body aud commit il lo the mother earth lo await tbe resurrec tion day. Tbe funeral service was conduct ed by Rev. G. A. Illair, ptor C.
