A New SMFXHsoCuuMrrrEK.-CT.
Statwtmn : Tlie other evening I went
out to feed my hogs. Among them is
n valuable breeding sow with ft litter
of 1'KS- To niy astonishment, when
slie came to the trough for food, I saw
on tlie nose of said sow an oyster can.
The ctn had evidently been opened
with some instrument, leaving gome
remain of Uks cover. , ragged and
sharp. Tlie now discovering tlie can,
and being in an anxious smelling
mood, thrust Iter no into tlie bottom
ot it, the ragged edges of tlie tin fasten
ing on lier nose so that It was impossi
ble for lur to get it off; and in fact I
liad to pet two of my neighbors to
come and assist me in removing the
can. While this was being done, a
wag, near by, said : " That sow must
lieloiig to tlie smelling coniiitittee." I
thought tills quite suggestive, and you
could hardly conceive how awkward
site looked running around with the
devil's late fiddle on her nose.
A Farmer.
Stock Hanoi. Durbin Bros, and
Smith of this city have purchased the
ranch and cattle formerly belonging
to Mr. W. A. Meacham, situated in
tlK) Antelope valley about sixty-flve
miles South of tlie Dalles. The ranch
contains one hundred and sixty acres
of land, one hundred of which is hay
land and tlie balance planted in grain.
Tlie price paid was $7,100. There are
now 200 head of stock on the ranch
'and 125 more head are pasturing on
John I)avs River lands which belong

Davis secured his license from Marion
county, and ran his terry across the
river to Linn county ; Uit owing to
some disagreement tlie residents in Scio
have tnkeii out a license in Lhm coun
ty and now run a ferry along side of
the one already started. Parties cross
on one and return on the other, and
thus help to support both.
In Luck. " Some children are born
with a silver sjiooii in tlieir mouth "
is an old adage which was called to
our mind yesterday while at the ex
press otliee. A. A. Webber received
from San Francisco for his babv sou,
Willie, a solid silver knife, fork and
spoon, apjiropriately engraved. It
was a present from 'Grandpa to
Willie," and a very tasteful one.
I ise Beef. W e were slwwii some
of the finest beef yesterday that we
have seen for many a day. 1 lie ani
mal who sacrificed life to furnish the
fame, was a convict, having been
raised at tlie Penitentiary.'' It weighed
wlien dressed, six hundred and sixty
pounds. Sstlemites regaled tlicaaselves
on this occasion, for jwd beef seems a
rarity in this market.
Periodicals. Our frietid Boon, of
book and stationery fame, fairly loaded
us down yesterday with late publica
tions including magazines, pictorials
and newspapers. lie is well supplied
with them, and for our sliare he will
please accept our sincere thanks.

From Daily of Snndag Apr. 14.
Mas. Miller's Lectcke Tliere
was not a large attendance last even
ing at Mrs. Miller's lecture, but tlie
audience was certainly a very intelli-
gent one au audience capable of judg
ing correctly of the literary merits at
least, of her production. After It was
over, we heard frequent and most de
cided encomiums passed upon it by
those who had listened. Even those
who emphatically disagree with Mrs.
Miller's suffrage views, admitted that
tliere were many good and beautiful
passages in licr lecture ; while others,
agreeing with ber, thought it one of
the best woman's lectures tliey ever
heard. Mrs. Miller still lacks culture
in elocution and style of delivery ; but
she lias made sueli marked improve
ment in voice and appearance on the
stage, as to elwcrher friends with the
assurance that she will yet stand tlie
peer of tlie foremost among ttoe women
who talk in public Site has mind aud
imagination ; aud sense with a steady
judgineut that, with culture and con
tinued effort, will certainly carry ber
along to success.
A Pair of Charmers. A couple ef
women wtio rejoice each in tlie name
of Margaret Dalrymple, are quarrel
ing at San Francisco over tlie goods
and cliattels of one G. S. Dalrymple
who died intestate,' on board tlie
steamship Moses Taylor in 1871. Each
Margaret claims to have been tlie law
ful wife of the said Dalrymple, and
they are each going for bis estate in
the liveliest possible manner. One
Margaret lived at Sau Francisco at the
time of his death and obtained letters
of administration. The other one
comes now and claims to have the sole
right to enjoy the dead man's coin.
The latter says she was married to him
in 1S and lived with him until 1867,
when she left hira and went to Vic
toria, and subsequently to Salem, Ore
son, and was never divorced from him.
Each widow is identified as bis true
wife, and is nrenared to move a leiral
marriage, by different witnesses; which
tne same snows mat uajrympie was a
little too much married ; aud that it
was a lucky thing for him that he died,
Who knows the Salem Margaret ?
Supposed Case of Suicide. It was
reported on tlie street last evening that
Isaac YV. - Brown better? known
in this city as "Whisky Brown
was found yesterday banging to a tree
near his cabin. He has been in and
around Salem for quite a number of
years and for a long time lias been liv
ing alone oa an island about three
miles aud a half above the city. He
lias been dissipated for years and It is
supposed tlie deed was committed
w hile under the Influence of liquor,
We are not able to gain further partic
ulars at present but will endeavor to
have tiiein before our next issue.
Salem Agricultural Works.
The work on this building has been
considerably delayed of late by the ab
sence of Mr. Myers, who has been east
on business connected with the. enter
prise. We visited the site of the build
ing yesterday and found one man at
work, but he kindly informed us that
he would probably . have some help
soon. ilr. Jiyers is expected daily.
and on his arrival he will no doubt put
on a large force of workmen and push
matters tiirougn rapiwy. rue only
dilllculty will lie the lack of brick,
which just at this time seem to be a
scarce article. A large number will
be immediately required. We shall
be glad to see It progressing, as it. will
prove a great addition to the business
of Jalem when completed.
Foot Bridge. This Improvement
has become almost a fixed fact and our
citizens of South Salem will soon be
supplied with the long needed side
walk on the outside of the present
bridge across Mill Creek. There ha

Pictcre of Mt. Hood. The New
Northwest thus notices the picture of
Mt. Hood which Col. C. A. Reed, of
this city, Is now painting : ' " We have
had the pleasure of seeing the outline
of an original oil painting: of Mt.
Hood and surrounding scenery, in tlie
ofliee of Gen. C. A. Keed, of Salem, a
few days ago. Tlie painting Is four by
six leet. it lias oeen ordered by
Messrs. Corbitt & Macluav. of Port
land, and will cost, when finished,
about $200.
Deer Antlers. The finest pair of
antlers we liave ever seen are now on
exhibition at the express otllce In this
city. They are nearly five leet in
length and the distance between their
tioiiits is nearly four feet. They be
long to W. B. Crane, of this city, who .
intends to send them to a friend in
Chicago. Illinois.
Buena Vista. W. W. Beaclu of
this burg, was in this city yesterday.
He reports times as rather dull but
says the town is increasing in size,
slowly but surely. It now contains a
population of about 200 souls and is a
lively wide-awake neighliorhood. The
stone-ware pottery of A. M. Smith is
doing a rushing business and is consid
ered the main support of the place.
Railroad Business. Shipped from

Frtim Daily of Tuesday Apr. 16.
Gone East. J. W. Smith, well
known in this city, started East on the
Oriflamuie, Saturday last. His busi
ness is connected with the water works
of this city. The company intend to
extend their main pipes during the
coming summer. He will also make
inquiries regarding the stability of the
new stj'le of gas and water pipes, sam
ples of which were recently received
in this city and are now lying at the
foot of Mill Creek bridge. They are
turned out of solid woodaud thorougli
ly saturated with a preparation oi as
phaltum to prevent tlieir decay. They
are made in ten feet sections and in a
very substantial maimer. When used
as water pipes they are stoutly banded
with iron, making them strong enough
to stand any ordinary pressure. Mr,
Smith intends perfecting arrangements
to organize a company for tlie manu
facturing of this pipe, with lieadquar
ters at Salem.
Still Missing. In regard to the
mysterious disappearance of David
Montgomery who was recently mar
ried to a Miss Davis living near Silver
ton, the Oregonian says: "Two of
his anxious relatives, a brother of his
deserted wife aud a cousin to himself,
came down In search, yesterday.
From tlie description given, the truant
husband was in the city but a few days
ago but apin disappeared from public
view. There seems to be some strange
mystery about his elopement. He
left his wife the second day after the
marriage and promised to return soon.
Just before going he gave lier a purse
containing $550, and said he would lie
back that evening. He came to Salem
and took the cars for Portland. Those
in search of him had been unrewarded
in their efforts wlien last lieard from.
We live In a strange world, and inanv
strange things occur.
Sharp Cuts Both Ways. A prom
inent man up the valley, who is known
to like a joke as well as the next man,
recently wrote to the Land Depart
ment making inquiries if there was
any lake he could buy at a low figure.
The officers twigging, of course, that
the inquiry was driving iron), con
cluded to answer with a Roland for an
Oliver, and returned the following:
Sorry, but we have only one lake
left, and that is the one that bums
with fire aud brimstone." Tlie in
quirer has not been lieard from, and
the presmnytion Is that he is not aax-
ious to locate that tract : or, lie may
think that the Land Department has a
prior and better title than lie could
get, and that they were only "fooliu' "
jU iUi bun.
Marion Square. We desire to call
the attention of our City Fathers to the
deplorable condition of this popular
resort during the summer season. We
strolled through there yesterday after
noon, and found in the grounds, cord
wood, brick bats, tiu cans, etc., mak
ing it resemble anything but a public
park. Several old trees that have done
all the service they ever can. need cut
ting down and the entire place needs
clearing up, preparatory to being used
a iiciiic rvHiiius, unu u puice ui rein
for the coining summer months. We
hope our City Council will take suffi
cient pride in this matter to attend to
it at once.
The Plaza. The work of improv
ing tliese grounds has been pushed for
ward with commendable zeal. During
the past two weeks there have been
about one hundred and forty maple
trees and over one hundred evergreens
transplanted and the roots well cov
ered to shield tliem from the sun.
These grounds are now in good order
and an ornament to the city.
Who Was It? Portland papers in
form us of a young man who gave a
young lady a bottle of perfumery
called "I love you." The lady took
it as a proposal and Instituted a breach
of promise case. She produced the
empty bottle, the jury snuffed the cork
and let the young man off by paying
fifty dollars. Who are the parties:'
Don't all speak at once.
Fine Muxes. There passed through
this city yesterday some of the finest
mules we have seen for some time.
There were nine ot them, and the value
of the drove was about $3,000. They
were purchased by William Parrish lit
Linn Co, for the use of the Seattle
Coal Mine, and were being taken
thence.
Nothing of the Sort. Parties
that came down the river yesterday
inform us there is no foundation for
the report regarding the supposed sui
cide of "Whisky Brown." We are
glad to announce this morning that
Brown's body instead of lying moul
dering in tlie ground," is still --marching
on."
False Report. We notice that
some of our Oregon papers are circu
lating tlie report that Salem is infested
with the scourge of "tlie most virulent
cases of chicken pox." We have
some inquiries, and can find no foun
dation for such rumor and we think it
our duty to contradict the report.
Indian Agents. Mr. L. S. Dyar
has turned over the Grand Ronde In
dian Agency to Mr.' P. B. Slnnott, and
has returned to this city preparatory
to leaving for the Klamath Agency.
He will start some time during the
present week leaving his family, for
the present, at this city.
From Silvekton. Matters are pro
gressing smoothly at this burg.
