Cab.n Burned On Monday eve ning about' nine o'clock a very bright light could be seen in J.he direction ol Jackass creek, which, by those who een it, was thought at once to be caused by the burning of another cabin owned by Chinamen on that creek.' Wm Stephenson, who lives di reclly opposite, informed us yesterday that such was tbe case, and that the fire started about half r past eight o'clock that evening. It had boen oc cupied by Chinamen nntil the day be iore the fire, when they moved to a tent a short distance away, leaving the house vacant. It is generally believ ed to be the work of an incendiary. Valuable Horse Dead. The well known Percberon horse, White Prince, owned by W. C. Myer of Ashland, died at bis farm near that place on the 17th inst. An examination showed that two-thirds of tbe inner coating of the stomach was gone, caused no dout, by some slow poison adminis tered some time before. He had been tampered with three times during the present season, while in tbe Willanv nnelte valley, but after each ot the two first efforts to poison him be re covered bis usual health and action in -a short time. The third attempt, however, proved successful, and the po'son slowly but surely done its work. This is a heavy loss to Mr. Myer and a serious one to the 6tock interests of our State, as the colls sired by him have given the best of satisfaction. To be cut down in the prime of life and nseffllness, a he was but twelve years -old, is when the great loss to the ma terial interest of the Stale is felt. A determined effort should be made to ferret out the perpetrator of this das tardly act. RANDOM J0TTIHOS. Hot Warm evenings. Call on Flaglor for your Photo.

Good enough. Mr. L N Gregory, who lives on the old Kilgore place north of town, last week brought ns the largest radish we have ever seen.

The trail leading from EUensbnrg to Kerbyville is being built on a wag on road grade, and it will only be nec essary to widen it to make a good road lo the coast. Abont $2,400 was subscribed by the citizens ot Curry connty for building the same. Morrell'a Minstrels gave an excellent entertainment at the Club Room in this place last Wednesday evening.

Tbe yield is s great deal lighter this year than usual, but still there is sufficient for'all purposes. Jacob Isb informs us that on his place near town the yield is about as follows per acre: wheat, 27 bushels; oats, 38, and bar ley 40 bushels. At most ot tbe other tarms throughout the valley the yield has not been as large, and the figures givei are above the average. The statement is sometimes made that a person does not weigh any more after eating a hearty meal than they do before, but the fallacy of.this asser tion was proven one day this week in the case of a cttizen ot Ibis place. His exact weight before eating dinner was 149 pounds, and on stepping on the scales after a meal at the Franco American he raised the beam at 152J a gain of 3 pounds in the s . ort space of halt an hour.

On the evening mentioned Ned, a thirteen year old son of J E Beggs, re turned from a short hunt In tbe hills near that place, and after reaching camp, Ellis Beggs, an older brother, took his gun, and while handling it the charge exploded shooting Ned in the right loot Dr Aiken was summoned immediately, but after btluging the boy to this place, where a thorough examination of the wound was made It was found Rat tbe ankle joint and heel had been so badly shattered as to necessitate the amputation of tbe foot This operation was pcrforitfWl by Dr Aikm, assisted by Dr Vroo man, on Sunday last, and Ihe boy Is now doing as well as could be expected. Drrcn Ecktcted. Cbas J Howard returned from tne mines of Bybee, Ilawkette & Co., on Rogue River, last Saturday, where he has been engaged for ten days past in making the sur vey of a ditch for this company. According to tbe survey the ditch will be three and onequar mtles la length, and the contracts for tbe digging of the same have all been let to white men in that local Itv This ditch Is to carry water from LImpy creek to Sham creek. He also surveyed two old ditches, leading from Sham creek to tbe diggings, which will be cleaned oat and put In repair by the company. Work has already been commenced on these ditches, and it is expected that they will be fin ished and ready for use by the middle of No vember. They will use two giants when min ing commences. m I.CEM)uniEf. On Tuesday night of last week two attempts were made to burn China town, which, luckily, proved unsuccessful. Shavings had been carried to the roof of tbe building oppos ite the residence of A Fisher which were set on fire about two o'clock In tbe morning, but Mrs Houck, tbe owner of the premises, was awakened by the noise, and she discovered the blaze in time to prevent a serious conflagration . If It had not been discovered just at that time probably our town to-day would have been in ashes, as it would have been bard work to check a fire starting at that lime of night. A number of suspicious look ing characters pass through here daily, andjlt would be well to keep the strictest watch over them while in town. Deserter Arrested. Capt Adams arrived In town last Saturday t looking for a soldier named J B Lundy, who deserted at Fort Klam ath on the night of the ISth inst He also stole a horse, considered to be tbe most valuable one In the troop, and started In this direction. The Captain tracked him to within a short dis tance of this place, where all trace of him was lost, bat after arriving here Jack Montgomery was sent out in the direction it was supposed he bad taken. Jack nabbed his mtn a short distance below Rock Point on Sunday and brought him to town where he is now confined in the jail. Tbe horse and other prorerty sto len was all recovered, and bis chances for a season at Alcatraz are very flattering. Yreka Fair.

Tbe Sheriff has on band the delicate job of hunting np a runa way wife. If the said wile is not "discovered'' it will cot be because of want of discretion or industry on bis part.

Jccivcxtjuxt SHOT.-About 5. -3d o'clock Saturday evening, says the Oregonian, Victor Bellinger, a sixteen year old son of C B Bellin ger, Esq., met with a-most shocking accident, under the following circumstances: He was engaged in loading a shell-cartridge for a shot gun at tbe time of the d stressing mishap. He had attached the percussion to tbe lowest end of the shell, placed the powder In and was ram ming down the wadding preparatory to putting In the shot. To force the wadding down Victor used a short Iron ramrod, probably a foot long. While thus engaged the cartridge exploded, driving tbe ramrod through hie hand and np sgainst bis forehead. One end of tbe rod struck the bone of the right eyebrow, near the nose, shattering it and tearing away In the up ward passage the flesh. So violently was the rod driven that It penetrated tbe skull and en tered the brain, making a very dangerous wonnd. -At last accounts tbe boy was still alive and doing as well as could be expected.
