The Harrl.burg Courier has the following conoeruiDg the scandal iu which one of the prominent citizeus of thst town is iuvolved If Hsrriaburg is not booming in tbe sense ot iucresiiug population and multiplying her numlier of new iudu.tries, it it booming siul boomiuu sod booming high too, wllb excitement. The ttaiuinillity of our little city was considerably disturbed Wt Tlmrs day evening by Geo. Howard compelling his wife to march through the middle of the streets at tbe poiut ol a abot gun, tuerrtiy proviug biuiaelf to be as ignorsut as he is oowsrdly. U mid be bad found bir wile Iu an altogether compromising position with an ex-representative of this couuly who is now a citizen of Harriaburg, but whose name we shall refraiu from publishing be cause we are informed that heretofore hi has boms a good reputation. Howard took his wit, to the hou.e ot the honorable f;eotleuian aud informed him that lie would rave the woman under his care aud protec tion until lurtber developments, which he did. we do not know wbelbor or not tu accused couple are innoceut or guilty, nor do we preteud to say; ws endeavor, not judge the case, but to give the Iscts iu an impartial manner. Oue thing ture is that slier so fsr forgettiug biuiaelf as to so iu buuisuly treat his wife, Mr. Howard can expevt no sympathy from the people. If he was indeed wrouged be sbould bare de manded justice in the oourtt or else attended to the matter on the spot. In this he would have been uphold, (but to come marching dowu the street as he did several hours later, puts an end to any svoipailiy that might otherwise have existed. District attorney Condon came down Katuiduy to enquire iuto the matter, but it is not sup posed that auy arrts will he made. While the attorney, Howard hi d bis wife were in consultation at the hotel, Mrt. Howard got up and wslked out and bsa not been aeen siuoe.

KiifliHli Sparrows, Mr, Editor: The newspapers ot Oreeou nave usa good ileal recently to say con. oeroiug tbe English sparrows now liumi gruting iuto this state, borne people seem to regard tbem as a crest nuisance while others look npou them as rather a blessing and extend to tbem a hearty welcome to Webfoot." While making my recent visit in tbe "States" I had manv oiioortunitiesof observing those little feathered inhabitants ot all tbe towns and oities, which I visited east of Minneapolis. Tbe first that I no tioed were in Hurlincton. Iowa. Thev were to tie seen in tbs streets, on tbe sidewalks inat before, and ImmnilialMltf ludilnd vnn They seemed not to tear the ulnae approach oi norse or carnage, street oar, pedestrian or oicyoie, out tney always managed to keep irom ueiug run over or tramped under loot by the surging mssses which oonstantlv crowd tbe streets and sidewslks of those great cities. The people seem to psy as little attention to the biids ss tbs birds do to the people. Notwithstanding there were inoussuds ol sparrows In tbs streets, I nev er saw a man, or even a boy, so much ai fling a stone at one of them, nor molest them in any manner. But both people and birds appeared to bn busy, attending to their own business. Tbe sparrows mar in trnde upon the rights of Hardener aud fruit growers to a limited exteut, for all that know; but tbey are certainly pretty good scavengers, and also destroy tbousandt of insects waion intest gardens and orcbsrds observed them oonstantlv at work from daylight in the morning until the darkness ol nlgbt Interfered wltb their labors. Upon tbe whole, I am iuclincd to regsrd them as useful, as well as ornameutal, and shall not worry because of their advent iuto Oregon. E.P. II House Burned. The rapid rinaino of ths fire bell aroused sleeping oltizens Sunday morning about o clock.

Voltaire Oorney, who ia now a resident of the Siuslsw valley in the vicinity of Ten Mile lake, was in Rosebnrg a couple ot dsya lart week. Ue states tbst this section ot Douglas county is rapidly settling up, but there is still some government land to lie had there. The soil is rich snd productive sod the land ia easilv cleared for farming. A road is being conducted into this region (which lies between tbe I'mprjna sod Sius lsw riven) from Gardiner, and another to Florence in Lane county. Ten Mile, Five Mile aod Clear lake, are large bodies of freeh water, the former belig shout 100 mile, in circumference, snd tbe best agri cultural land of tbe valley is situated on their borders. They are almost connected with each othir and furnish an esy mode of communication between the settlers. Mr. Gurney states thst Florence is grow ing very rapidly probably fifty bonus now being io course of construction Glensda juat opposite on the sontb side of tbe river, and a new townaiu. is also improving and there are thirty or forty bou.ee, including a floe pew hotel in the place.
