He had been ailing for some weeks and it is said, his death was occasioned by a congestive chill or.conjjestion of the lungs. Richard is said to have been a qujet industrious boy and was from tho lower Klamath tribe. Ix her owx Defexce. We hear of an interesting affair that took place Jin Yreka last week, where a Mrs. J. is alleged to have slandered a Mrs. IL in some manner.

E. Dimick of Grants Pass, has about finished his new house, which is said to be a very handsome structure. The Albauy Democrat says Jackson ville is to have a steam saw mill. This ib the first we ba e heard of it The season has now so far advanced that we must soon bo favored with clear skies and genial sunshine. The w ork of taking down the front wall of the . Odd Fellow's brick build ing at Ashland is nearly completed. Any person having a copy of "The Innocents Abroad" not belonging to them will please return to this office. A tax to complete the district school house at Ashland was voted down at the annual school meeting on Monday hist The Republicans of Josephine coun ty have called a mass convention to name delegates to the State conven tion. Z. T. Wright of the agricultural machinery house of J. I. Case it Co. of Portland is at present canvassiug this county. It will soon be time for new Spring bonnets, just too awfully sweet for any thing, to peep out timidly from the show windows. Mr. Dillon informs those owing him that he must have money and desires them to come forward and settle before they get into trouble. . Mr. Hammond, of Ashland, made us a call on Monday. He expects to com mence work on the steam grist mill here, in about three weeks. Vhen the chief conspirator asked an assistant, after the dynamite explosion at the "Winter Palace:" "Did ycu get him? ' the reply was "No Czar." Wc hear that Charley Klum intends putting up a brick in Ashland. Char ley, himself is a "brhk" and keeps the cheapest harness and saddlery in Jack son county. No house is complete without a "singer" not a canary but a sewing machine. Go to the Singer agency (Feathers the tailor) and buy a ma chine that will last a life time. Lieut Duncan of Ft Klamath and Mr. Jos. Beach passed through town on Friday with Col. Whipple. The party were taken to Roseburg in J. W. Manning's four horse hack. The Singer manufacturing Company sold 431,107 sewing machines during 1879, being an increase of 74,735 over any previous year. D. H. Feathers is agent of these excellent machines. An Exchange asks: "If it takes one egg to make a nogg, how many eggs w ill it take to make an auger!" That's eawy: the man who drinks tho nogg is an auger. Give us something hard. i" V"-' " rvinr in r 1 -w-tv-y -rkargga Very little plowing has been done yet in the upper end of the valley but in almost every other locality farmers are exceedingly, "busy. Tho Champions of Honor will meet this evening at the Odd Fellows Hall and, it is expected, will determine upon a regular place of meeting. Mrs Callendar and family have ar rived from Roseburg and will make Jacksonville their residence. Dr. Callendar is expected in about a week. Wm. Kreutzer will soon remove" to Ashland where ho intends establishing a bakery. Mr. K. is a first class baker and should succeed in his enterprise. IL M. -Thatcher of the firm of Thatcher Jz, Worden, Linkville, re turned from Portland yesterday and left this morning for home. He left Geo. Nurse in Portland. The work of clearing for the founda tion of the Foudray it McKenzie grist mill south of town has commenced. A. W. Presley is engaged in sawing the timbers at his mill on the Sterling di vide. Johnson t Hunter have opened a blacksmith shop at Mauzanita. Hun ter is said to have no. superior as a shoer in the State, and makes treat ment of "corns, &c. specialty. See their advertisement Clinton Schiefielin informs us that stock has, thus far, done very well down in the Foots creek section and on tho ranje along Roj;ue rher. A smll amount of sheep have died and a very few head of cattle. We hear it rumored that W. A. McPherson of Josephine County is soon to take editorial charge of the Sa lem "Statesman." Mc. iscne of the most graceful and forcible writers in this State, and w e hope the rumor is correct The "Coast Mail' relates the narrow escape of Stephen Rogers from being gored to death by an infuriated Jer sey bulL Mr. Rogers was badly bruised and at last saved himself by dropping into a ditch where the animal could not reach him. The "West Shore" for February, is at hand, containing many original ar ticles descriptive of Oregon and much choice selected matter. It is an excel lent magazine to send to friends in the East L Saaiuels, Pub. Portland, Ore gon, S2 per year. When Gen. Grant was in London, talking with Lord Beaconstield, that wily English "Statesman" said, "he wished to Heaven we had taken Mex ico; that England would not like any thing better than to see the United States annex it." Postmxsters are now-required to stamp the date and arrival of letters on the back of tho envelopes. It is It is ' 3r haJdt"' then easy to tell how long a letter been on the lourney from the ofi;c Iff- V'lticb It. is ntailod tn til; to which it is bent. We have seen a letter from Mr. Goodwin, stating that on J. D. OaTrs fee ling grounds hear Clear lake, in Modoc county, there are over 800 dead cattle out ot his. baud of 5000. Those that could be driven have been moved towards the Lava beds. According to the "Del Norte Rec ord" tho prices of board and lodging have been reduced at the Crescent City Hotel. Supper, lodging and breakfast, 50 cents; single meals, 20 cents; lodging, 20 cents; board and lodging per week 4; board without lodg ing, 3.50. The second quarter of the district school will end on Monday next. Let there be a good attendance of visitors. No one need be ashamed of our school and the visits of parents encourage both teacher and pupil. We fear that this duty, which ought to be a pleasure has been too much neglected. Pryor Eaton's stallion, "Bob Inger sol," will stand the coming season at this place at the stables of Jas. A. Cardwell. He is a finely formed dark bay, and is one of the best blooded horses ever brought to this valley, his sire being Joe Daniel's and his dam of the Belmont and Rifleman stock. We hear that in the section lying along Rogue rirer, fiom the Darda nells to the mouth of Appkate, about one third of the usual seeding lias been done. As tho ground in that portion of the county is sandy and soon be comes fit for plowing, it is thought nearly the usual acreage will be sown. We are under obligations to KM. Waite, the effcient Secretary of tho Siate " Agricultural Society, for the list of premiums to be given at the twentieth annual exhibition which will commence July 1st, 1880, and end on July 8th. The programme gives prom ise of a fair worth seeing. Railroad and steamboat lines will only charge half fare to visitors. CoL Stephen G. Whipple, of the 1st Cavalry, commanding at Fort Klamath, passed through Jacksonville on Frida' last en route for Vancouver to attend a court martial. The Col. has the same warm grip of the hand that char acterized hiin in the "early days," and his friends over in California will -be glad to know that the old warrior is still in the full vigor of health al though, like us all, bearing the scars of time. Judge Day, having fully satisfied us that there was no "collusion" be tween him and tho hospital contractor, we withdraw that charge as we have no desire to wrong any person; and do him tho justice to consider tho trans action as governed by tho best of motives. Indeed, the question now seems to have been one of business shrewdness between the County Court and the contractor; and the latter, forcing the Court to extend the con tract a year beyond the advertised time, evidently comes out ahead. We hope we may not bo forced to refer to this subject again. J1IM; ITE3IS. The Sterling company are at vork with a fair head of water, but have not reached their rich ground yet English Company and "Blue Gravel" on Galice creek have light heads of water owing to freezing weather. Miners throughout Josephine county are working with a full supply of water and there is every indication of a rich gold harvest. The boys on Jackass creek are. tear ing the ground loose now, and will ha-e the best run of water they have -had for twenty years. Sam Lackland of the Palmer creek mine is rushing dirt through the flume with a good head of water and expects a big clean up next week. Barkdalo & Cline of the Blackwell district are doing well, sluicing with a very light head of water in the vicinity of their late quartz discovery. Kahler, McDonough & Co of the Ft Lani diggings have a fair ground sluice head and in rich ground. Theypicked jp a 515 dollar nugget on'Thursday last - -Johnson and Allison. ori'i'Jficn creek are still prplrTgwitliplertty ofj water. They have moved mora gravel already this year than during any previous season. The Star Gulch mine, Chappell it Co., now under the superintendence of Tom Gilson, has a full head of water and we hope to soon lecord another big clean up for them. The case of the Cayote Gold and and Silver Mining Co. vs. Wm. and Walter Ruble, appeal from Jacksou county, is to be argued before the Supreme Court next Monday, 15th. At the Dry diggings, owned by Dimick it Co., piping has not been in interrupted for a single day during the past four months. The dirt prospects very well but the company have not yet made a clean up. A fine "nugget" supposed to be worth $45 was lately sent by Louis Knapp, of Port Orford, who had pur chased it in good faith years ago, to the S. F. Mint where it proved to be "brass. Somebody had caught the pur chaser "knapping." Tom Kahler informs us that Bark dale t Co. who discovered tho rich quarU noted last week have already taken out 500. They are down six i feet on the vein and the "pocket" is still showing well, being still rich in free gold. Of course its extent is not yet known, and the water interfer ing at present the owners will not do any extensive work for .some weeks. ' Farmers bf. ix Time Mr. Z. T. Wright is making a short visit to the farmers of Jackson county. Mr. lj. ii i rt-fv ,'sr nts the Portland Branch use of id. wi'il known firm of J, I. Co., of Racine Wis., Manu- tuiera ot threshing uTftchjaes, en gines and headers. Their machines have the world wide reputation of be ing the best. Parties wishing anything in this line will do well in giving Mr. Wright their orders, as thev.will find everything as he represents; and deal uig with him you will bear in mind that you are dealing with the manu facturers direct. Mr. Wright. savs he will try and call on most of tho farm ers in the valley. He will promptly attend to any correspondence addressed to him at Jacksonville. Lsrael Deitrich writes to the Del Norte "Record" as follows: "There is a route however, that a road can be built from Waldo to Smith river, in side of thirty miles which I believe to be the best loute, and will save twenty miles off any route yet spoken of, and can be built for one half of the amount of money of any road yet men tioned. If there is to be a road built, this route will save one day's travel each w ay. You can leave Waldo in the morning, and be at Smith River valley at night. A road on this route can be built cheap, and I will go at any time they wish and show the route, and if Ctescent City and Smith river farmers will unite they can build one half of the road." Suddexly Called. Yesterday Chas. S. Baird, of Jackass creek, was suddenly summoned, meeting his death it is supposed from apoplexy. Two young men were engaged grinding an axe at his cabin, wIipii Mr. Baird re turned from the saw mill, where ho had bt-eii settling some business. 'After a passing remark he unlocked his door and entered the house and .tlieZyoung men, hearing him fall, approached and found him speechless. Dr. Aiken was immediately summoned but Baird was past all earthly succor. Mr. Baird was well and favorably known here as a quiet and industrious citizen. He was about fifty years of age. As it is neither pleasant nor safe to be around a kicking horse or mule, the follow ing recommendation may be of some use to our hostlers: "For a kicking horse, fill an old sack with hay and suspend it from tue lolt by means of a rope, in such a manner that the horse will be ablo to kick it every time it swings against him. Let him kick until hestops of his own accord, and you will have no more .trouble with him in that way. Dr. IL H. Toland of San Francisco is dead. The esUtte is valued at $230, O0O and is bequeathed as follows: To his son, Hugh Huger Toland, Jr., all the medical books and surgical instru ments; to his widow and two daugh ters is left the ranch in Solano county, and the house in that city to the widow. Social Daxce. Wedearn that a social party will be held at the Drake farm on Applegate March 30th on tho occaison of the GOth anniversary of the i birthday of Dr. P. Jack. Everybody is invited tickets, including supper, I 1.50. - l 3IEJ10KI.V3I. At a special meeting of Ruth Ro bekah Degree Lodge No. 4, J ackson ville, Oregon, held March 8th, 1880, the following resolutions were adopted: Wherkas, on the 2nd day of March, 1880, it pleased the Supreme Ruler-of the Universe in his divine wisdom to take from our midst our beloved and faithful brother Geo. McKnight by the hand of death, therefore be it Resolved, that in the death of Brother McKnight this Lodge has lost an honest, faithful an 1 zealous member of our Noble Order, the advocate of right and the enemy of all that was wrong, thoroughly imbued with all the principles of our Order, Friendship, Love and Truth, the force of his exam ple asane nber of our fraternity should forever be kept green in the memory of the living members of our order; although he has passed away forever from our sight yet the recollections of tho Jiving, of his devotion to duty, his love for the principles and teachings of Odd Fellowship will remain bright as long as life and memory is spared. Resolved, that we extend to the sorrow afflicted family.of our deceased brother profound and fraternal sympa-thji"-Ifi',llirs their sad bereavement, nev er forgetting that we owe them the sacred duty of care and protection. Resolved, that the Lodge Charter be draped in mournhg, and that the members wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days. Resolved, that these resolution be spread in full upon the records of this lodge, and a copy of the same be for warded by the secretary under the seal of this lodge to the family of the deceased brother. Jexxie Kext, Melixe Solomox, 0MOX, Com. Frances Luy Death of Geo. McKxigot. On Tuesday last the community sustained a loss in the death of Mr. George McKnight of Foots creek, from ani urism of the largo artery leading from the heart The event was not unex pected, as the deceased was advised, only recently of his critical condition, by Dr. Aiken, and told that death might occur at any moment. On Tuesday afternoon he remarked to his wife that he felt faint, but Iwfore she could render assistance he had passed away. Mr. McKnight was a native of the County Aramagh, Ireland, aged 45, emigrated to America in 1853 and was nearly seventeen years engaged in mining at Weaverville, Cal. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and a man of tho strictest integrity and uprightness of character. On Thursday tho remains were brought to town, escorted by a large number of friends and taken to the Odd Fellows hall, ho having been a member of that fraternity, where a very impressive sermon was preached by Rev. M. A. Williams. The remains were then tab -n in cMare lus-lz. . SH and deposited in tu tho hoK-nin and impressive cerei? of the Older. The attendance quite large although tho day stormy and as the heay snow flakes fell on the coffin, instantly melting a pass way thought suggested: That such is life only a snow flake for a moment on the turbulent stream. Thedeceased leaves a wife and one son to mourn his loss, but they have the warmest sympathy of their many friends. Commissioner's Court. Tho regular March term of Commissioner's Court was held at the Clerk's office on Wed nesday last with all the oflicers present. The following are the proceedings: It was ordered that tho petition xof J. J. Fryer and 84 others for a change in the place of voting from Brownsboro to Eagle Point be contained till next terra. The petition of W. H. Gearhart and 23 others, praying for a change in (he county road leading up the West side of Evans creek, vas postponed till next term. The petition of J. M. McCall and 5G others for a change in county road lead ing through Ashland was postponed till next term. Fred Otten, J. T. Ramy and G. M. Savage mado their reports as Road Su pervisors. 'John Margreiter was allowed to ic sign the office of Road Supervisor of district No. 23 and J. Crump appointed in his stead. Wm. Hamlin was appointed Road Supervisor of District No. 8. "Arthur Langell, writing the Sen tinel from Langell valley, under date of March 3d, says: Snowing again, the last three days were warm anil snow went off tho East side of the val ley fast leaving much bare ground, on the West side snow is two feet deep Cattle are dying for want of feed. Swingle will lose half his band, Vin cent will loose the most of his cattle and also a great many horses. I have lost, so far, about oiie hundred head, those having hay to feed through will lose but few. The snow has driven deer down on the skirts of the val ley by the hundreds Jind hunters have a tine time killing them. One of the causes of cattle dying is snow blind ness. I have found cattle in good order standing under juniper trees, and perfectly blind, and as it is impossi ble to move them, they would die where they stood. We are in receipt of tho price list of tho Red House Trade Union of Sacra mento, Cal., and wish that we could lay it before every one of our readers. It offers goods at prices not often heard of in these parts. It sends us all kinds "of goods by mail, express and freight, find only those who have tried this method of buying their goods know how much it saves. The country order department of this house is now a lead ing factor of Pacific coast trade. They mail their price list free to all who wish it, ITEJIs FICON JOIUMIINK. Grouse hooting. Frogs croaking under the snow. Judge Floyd has been confined to his room with rheumatism for two weeks past There is a Portlander mining on Althouse who is a second John the Baptist He '"preaches in the wilder ness." There has been but little loss of stock in this county up to this time. Cattle that have gone through without care are becoming very weak, however, and unless there should be a favorable change in the weather many will perish. Very little grain has been sown in this valley. To the people hero this is a matter of but small interest, as they depend on Jackson county for their flour and need but little grain. If Jacksou fails this year, however, the people of Josephine will exnerience nn : flpvation in the price of bread next V.' inter. At a recent lmnting match it was agreed that a skunk. tak-Rn liv should count oue hundred points. A tnember ot one ot the contesting par ties captured a fine "specimen, tied it to the end of a long polo and introduced it to the counting committee. The op posing party acknowledged themselves "skunked" and the captor had no need of eau de cologne at the ensuing dance. So far as mv observation extends it seems that the voice of the people, if it could be authoritatively heaul, would favor the annexation of Josenliino to Jackson county. A littlo wooing on both sides would soon bring about such a union. "Barkis is willin'" so far as the fair little Josephine is concerned. How is it with the stalwart Jacksou? Can it be that he would be so ungallant as to repulse her tender and delicate advances? The recent Wagon Road meeting at Kerbyville gave a true expression of the views of the people on the import ant subject of a road to tlm Const Josephine county will not be behind in giving am 10 uie enterprise when in augurated on a practical basis. Let there be a joint stock company organ ized by parties interested in the estab lishmeni of such a thoroughfare and let them open books for sutacripcion. Capital sufficient to complete the work will soon be forthcoming. The incor porators should be residents of the counties of Jack-son, Josephine and Dal Norte. Local confidence would thereby be secured, without which the road will never be constructed. Drifting. St. Patrick's Day. Next Wednes day will be the anniversary day of Ireland's patron saint.

The Corvallis "Garotte" savs that the Corvallis Fruit Company, compos ed otJthn lieadnian, Wallace Nash and others, have consigned to commix- sion merchants in London and Liver pool, ten tonx of Oregon dried fruit in bulk, and have guaranteed the quality of the same, which is being introduced rapidly among English consumers. They now propose shipping a large in voice in two and tour lbs. paper boxes, nicely labeled, with their guarantee on each label, and anticipate ready and active sales tor the same. To bk PirQTENED. The deaf mute school will be re-opened at Salem, in new and commodious quarters under the control of Rev. P. S. Knight with Mrs. R. McCullough as matron on the 31st of March. The matter of ad mission is in the hands of the State board of education and those who wish to send pupils at largo should send written applications stating reasons before March 30th. Parents are re quested to furnish their children with clothing nud bedding as" heretofore. We learn from Mr. Thatcher that as Mon as tho ground permits a U. S. Engineer will commence to apply the 810,000 appropriation on tho military road between Scottsburg and Camp Stewart, near Phoenix. Tho work will begin at the Scottsburg end and it is somewhat doubtful whether the a) projir ation last long enough so t! at any portion of it will be applied to tho great thoroughfare between here and Roseburg.
