¿Mi
P etition for P ardon .—We give
a3 an item of news tho following,
which is a copy of the petition for the
pardon of Mrs. Briggs, now in circula­
tion in Southern Oregon :
To His Excellency, L. F. Grover,
Governor of Oregon: Your petition­
ers, citizens of Southern Oregon, re­
spectfully represent that Mrs. Caroline
Briggs, who was convicted of man­
slaughter at the June term 1875 of the i
Circuit Court for Jackson County, and
sentenced to imprisonment imthe pen­
itentiary for five years, is an old lady
57 years of age, and was one of the
early pioneers of Southern Oregon ; is ,
extensively known and respected, and
has a large family of children and j
grandchildren. That her health has 1
been much impaired for more than a
year, and she probably would not sur­
vive her term of imprisonment. That
the condition of her health, combined
with a shameful misfortune of her
youngest daughter, and the death of
another daughter, so wrought upon her
nervous nature that in an hour of fren­
zy, and without contemplating the re­
sult, she committed the act for which
she was convicted and sentenced ac­
cording to the unbending rules of law.
That in view of her many good quali­
ties, her age and sex, and the fact that
she has been imprisoned in the Jail of
Josephine county for nearly a year al­
ready, we earnestly recommend her
to your clemency and pray that she
be pardoned without further imprison­
ment.

ness in time for this week’s issue.

less a Uray occurred in Sam’s Valley
la.xt week between Robt. Wood and

Morrison on a charge of an assault
with a dangerous weapon, and brought
biiu to town. However, after an ex­

amined some specimens of improve­
ment in writing by some of his former
pupils, which reflect credit on his ef­
forts as an instructor.
F ourth of J uly B all .—The ball
given at Veit’s Hall last Monday
evening was a well-attended and pleas­
ant affair. Good music was furnished
by the Oime brothers and Fred. Luy,
while the supper prepared by Mrs.
Horne was excellent. Dancing was
kept up till about four o’clock, and as
the ball ended so came the festivities
of the Fourth of July for 1875 to a
close.
B rown B rothers A cquitted .—
The Brown brothers, who some time
ago were Indicted for the killing of
Oliver M. Hurt in Sprague river valley
last year, were last Saturday acquitted.
But little trouble wa3 experienced in
getting a jury, eight having been pro­
cured out of the regular panel. Messrs.
James D. Fay, Kahler & Watson «nd
J. R. Neil represented the defense,
while II. K. Hanna, Esq., appeared for
the prosecution. After being ably con­
ducted on both sides, the case was sub­
mitted to the Jury Saturday, who, af-.
ter being out about half an hour, re­
turned a verdict of “uot guilty.”
Both were tried together. There was
a large attendance present, and we
learn that when the verdict had been
brought in, Walter and Win. Brown
were congratulated by many on the
result. They were soon after dis­
charged, and are free men again.
I
F ourth of J uly N otes .—Our Na-
tional Anniversary was generally cele­
brated in appropriate manner at vari­
ous points throughout Jackson, tiose-
phine and Lake counties.
At Foots Creek, a largo crowd num-
bering about 400 people, assembled on
Saturday to participate in the celebra­
tion there. II. Kelly, Esq., of this
place, delivered an excellent oration,
which was listened to with great inter­
est by all. Other appropriate exer­
cises were had. A floor was laid for
the accommodation of those desiring to
dance to good music furnished by the
Orme brothers and Fred. Luy, and
there was no lack of refreshments of all
kinds. Everybody seemed well satis­
fied with the day’s amusement.
We are informed that the celebra­
tion at Williamsburg, Josephine coun­
ty, was in every' respect a success, a
large assemblage from the surround­
ingcountry being in attendance. Hon.
W. W. Fidler delivered the oration,
which is spoken of in the highest
terms.
An impromptu Fourth of July dance
occurred at Ilerling’s old stand on Sat­
urday evening, after the Grangers’ cele­
bration, which passed off pleasantly.
The Fourth at Kerbyvillo is said to
have been celebrated in appropriate
and successful manner. A ball took
place there on the evening of the 5th.
I
M ore G oats .—.Somebody is receiv­
ing more Angora goats, as we read in
the Stanislaus (Cat.) Setts that a band
of 2,000 passed through that county a
short time ago, bound for Jackson
county, Oregon.
O. R. M.—At a regular meeting
of ihe Jac ksonville Stamm No. 148, U.
<). R. M., held on the evening of July
l>t, the following officers were elected
for the ensuing term : Newman Fi>h-
»•r, <>. Ch.; Simon Caro, U. Ch.; Wm.
II irtman, Bet Ch.; BenS.ielis, Schrieft-
fuehrer ; Herman v. Helms, Gehuelf-
Kchrieftfuehrer ; Veit Schutz, Schatz­
verwahrer.
The celebration of the 99th anniver­
sary of our national independence last
Saturday, under the auspices of the i
Patrons of Husbandry, was in every
particular a grand success. Every
vehicle and animal that could be pro­
cured was mustered into service, and
at an early hour the crowd began to
move in the direction of the old Over­
beck Grove, the place selected for-the
occasion. By ten o’clock, the larger
portion of the assemblage was on the
ground, and at about eleven the Pa­
trons, comprising members of the Order
from all ¡»ortions of the county, clad
in their respective regalias, under the
directions of Gen. J. E. Ross, Marshal
of the Day, and his aids, I. W. Berry,
John Sizemore, A. Carlton, Wm. Ray,
Thos. Wright and E. E. Gore, took up
a line of march. At its conclusion,
everybody betook themselves to where
stands had been reared for the accom­
modation of the officers of the day,
musicians, etc., and seats prepared for
the audience. The exercises of the
day opened with a song by the choir,
which was followed by a prayer appro­
priate for the occasion by the Chap­
lain, Elder M. Peterson. The Decla­
ration of Independence was then read
in excellent style by J. D. Fountain,
after which the audience was favored
by the reading of the Grange Declara­
tion by D. S. K. Buick, who delivered
it in a clear and distinct manner. The
oration by Prof. J. II. Skidmore was a
fine effort, and during the course of
his remarks was often applauded.
The programme was well carried out ;
and frequently dispersed with first-rate
music from the gleo club, while the i
Ashland Band played several favorite
airs in good style. At the conclusion
of the exercises, dinner was announced
by Mr. Buick, when all hands repaired
to the long array of tables groaning
under their load of delicacies. To say
thero was plenty would not convey
sufficient meaning to the abundance of
food, as there was a large quantity re­
maining after all had eaten to their sat­
isfaction, and the manner in which it
disappeared was sufficient evidence of
its excellence.
After dinner, the assemblage was
treated to an exhibition of Rockwell A
ilulburt’s trained horses and a lecture
by the former gentleman.
The balance of the day was spent in 1
social intercourse and in the various
amusements afforded. A swing, pro­
pelled by horse power, was in constant
motion, and refreshment stands with­ I
out number were scattered here and
there.
The number of people in attendance
was the source of much estimation.
Some thought there were fully 2,000
on the ground, hut this is perhaps
somewhat of an exaggeration. There
were doubtless considerably over 1,200
present, and the aggregate number
may have approximated all the way to
1,800, Suffice it to say, it was one of
the largest crowds that has ever con
gregated at one time in Southern Or
egon.
No cases of intoxication were per-
ceivable, this being a mast orderly as
well as a very successful affair. Only
one accident marred the harmony of
the celebration, which fortunately re­
sulted without loss of life, but the bug­
gy was broken to smithereens. It
seems that as a young man from Jack­
sonville was about tying his horse, the
animal from some cause became fright­
ened and plunged headlong towards
the crowd. Luckily the buggy turned
over before he reached the place where
many horses were tied, and it was not
long before he became tired of hissport
and stopped. A panic was imminent
at one time. The Patrons were just
then marching, and their ranks were
t ?mporarily broken by tl e incident.
Although a young lady was in the
vehicle when the horse started, she
was thrown out and fortunately escaped
with slight injuries.
I
I
E quine E xhibition . — Professors
Rockwell A Hurlburt gave exhibitions
of their trained horses and dogs in
town on Friday and Monday, and also
at the Grangers’ picnic on Saturday.
Their performances on the street,
which included the driving of a single
horse to a buggy by Prof. Rockwell,
and a double team by Prof. Cole, with­
out reins or bridle, was excellent. The
horse, “Mazeppa,” which doubtless is
the best trained animal ever brought
through this section, was also exhibited
under a tent, and was the wonder of
everybody who witnessed his perfor­
mances. Quite a large number of per­
sons took lessons in their system of
educating the horse. They left for the
North Monday.
L ively T imes in L inkville .—
Times have been rather lively in Link­
ville for the past week or two. The
Circuit Court brought quite an attend­
ance, while other attractions increased
the number. Four balls o?curred dur­
ing that time, one coming off last
Saturday and two more on Monday
and Tuesday evenings. Sixty-nine
tickets were sold at the former, and a
first-class time had throughout. Geo.
Brown, of this place, and John Dick,
of Linkville, officiated as musicians.
M isconstrues I t .—The Yreka
Journal, in an article replying to our
comments in last week’s issue on the
Linkville mail route, says “because we
favor this mail, the T imes wants the
Ashland people to stop patronizing us.”
We never pursue such “small pota­
to” policy in any Instance, and we
cannot see how our worthy cotem­
porary can construe that article in con­
veying that meaning, as such a thing
is not even hinted at. In our strict­
ures in the matter of some persons at
Ashland sending their work to Yreka,
instead of patronizing home industry,
we only referred to the fact to illus­
trate the principle of the matter, and
not for the reason that we thought that
patronage should be discontinued be­
cause of the Yreka papers’ antipathy
to the Ashland mail route, which the
Journal would itself have done, if in
our place. We do not censure our co­
temporary for advocating a route from
Yreka to Linkville, for it would be of
accommodation and value to the people
of his section, for whose benefit (as he
should be) he is ever working. But
as a paper endeavoring to build up this
section of the Union and working for
its interests, we deem it the T imes ’
duty to protest against this attempted
abolition of the Ashland and Linkville
mail route, (which would work a hard­
ship on a large space of country) come
from where it may. We trust the
Journal will fully consider this matter,
and not accuse us thusly.
