quested to meet at me wigwam at one

they are well cared for.
Naw Chckch at GKBTiia We are in
formed the Catholics have commenced the
erection of a new church editice at Gervais,
and on its completion, will immediately
commence the erection of a convent. The
railroad company have given them lots for
this purpose. Everything shows a spirit of
progress in this little burg that is almost
astonishing, considering the short time the
town Has been building up.
Maeriaok Licenses. The County Clerk
issued nine marriage licenses last month.
Kilt he thinks that unless the voting folks
wake up to a realization of the exigencies
of the case he will remain considerably be
hind the present month ; for as yet he has
issued but two, which he considers rather a
poor exhibit for Marion county. Wehaven't
much to say in these matters, bnt it does
seem as though tlie complaint is a just one.
At His Old Tucks. One of the State
Tjrisonen havine served hi tiinn out. wan
discharged yesterday morning and celebrat
ed his liberation hy having a glorious drunk
for which he was arrested last evening and
Tilaced in the calaboose for Auie keeoinir.

Jackson county will preside over this Court,
which convents in this city one week from

tne state.

Dunbar, who for some time past has been
residing at Warm Springs Reservation, re
turned home yesterday, accompanied by his
wifa. who has been aa invalid for many

and contemplates lax riling on rather an ex
tensive scale.

The County Officers. These chaps ap
pear to be having an easy time of it during
the present dull season. They complain of
dull times and nothing much to do. Mr.

the real estate transactions are few in num
ber, and of no large amount financially
speaking.
Oasnox Fruit. John G. Wright, of gro
cery fame, has placed us under obligations
for a liberal suDnlv of Oraron fruit peach
es, grapes and pl ums raised in the neighbor

AX EXt'ITIXU ADVESTIBE.
Salem has a noted Nim rod in it midst.
He is an old hand at the business, and be
ing an extremely modest individual he sel
dom speaks of his varied adventures while
out with gun and dog. Believing in the old
.adage that "too many cooks spoil the broth,"
he seldom has any company with him while
out on the tsamp. Every summer for years
past, he has regularly gone up into the
mountains and spent a couple of weeks
.solitary, and alone with no companion but
his trusty hound and his fire-arms. This
summer be took his usual vacation from
business trials and went up into the Cas--cade
Bange in search of adventure. His
blankets were the only shelter he required,
and his gun was as usual his source of sup
plies of food. The third day after his arri
val, he had beed tramping around until he
was so exliausted that when he went to sleep
at night he slept unusually sound. The fire
by which be had cooked his supper had gone
entirely out. and the night an intensely
dark one. Suddenly he was awakened by
some animal smelling around his face. Our
hero started to his feet and. gazed around in
sdent horror. A low growl immediately
behind him. caused him to place himself on
.guard against some unseen foe. A cluster
of brush was near at hand in the edge of
which he imaganed he could see the glitter
of two small eyes. He leveled his gun and
fired, bnt missed the object, which an medi
ately sprang at him, embracing him in a
manner that was anything but agreeable.
Nimrod then realized that he had a good
nizi-d hear to Bet awav with, and the animal
was doing his best to squeeze the breath out
of him. He disengaged his left arm and
.grasped the bear by the throat and finally
succeeded in clsikiitg him off, and drawing
u revolver, tired at him. The. ball entered
-one of his hind lees and seemed to bother
, the animal, for an instant, as be wheeled
around and commenced licking the spot.
Mr. H tlien secured his rifle which he
had dropped at the outset, and when the
bear came toward him the second time.
struck him several times with the stock of
it until the animal in his bewilderment gave
him tune to attain load his shooting iron
and then he very soon dispatched lam with
a well directed shot. He brought borne one
ofc the fore paws of the animal as a trophy
of his niL'ht attack. If tins is a specimen
oflifeintlie mountains, please excuse us
as we would rather not take any oi u in
ours.
Street Spbinkono Extbaordinasy.
Tom Reynolds met with an ad venture yes
terday that was rather out of tho usual
:ourt! for hinu He had just tilled his
sin-iiikliuircart and driven on to Commer
cial street, when the wagon tire came off of
one of the fore wheels. Tod stopped ms
team to repair damages, and placing a jacK
lieneath the axle, iniaianed he had the dead
wood on the whole arrangement. But the
team wheeled around and upset his calcula
tions, as well as the sprinkling cart, and
emptied the contents ot the latter upon the
ground. Tom then gave up in disgust, tin-
iuicneu ms team anu urwre uieiu w s w
hie, attached the demoralized wagon to the
hind part of a drav and took it to the shop
lor repairs.
I he Turn veseins We saw out one
item of interest in our travels yesterday,
and that was the departure of the Turn Ve
rein Society for Portland. They formed in
a procession at their hall, and were escorted
to the depot by the Salem Brass Band. They
wore appropriate badges, and presented a
one appearance as tney marcnea tnrougn
our streets, we noticed several of our
most influential citizen in the van, and one
txirtlv Alderman. The hnva will tin doubt
have a grand time, for they are a lot who, if
mere is any lun to tie jound, are on hand
font every time.
8a le of Fine Sheep. Mr. John Minlo.
of Salem, sold, Friday, twenty head of thor
oughbred merino sheep, to Mr. Joseph

.From Daily of Tuesday Aug. 27.
A Lively Race Yesterdav forenoon
while Lyman Savage was leisurely driving a
wagon heavily loaded with grain to the 8a-
tera r louring alius, a son ol Unas. swegles
with another load in charge, endeavored to i
pass him in order to unload the tirnt. Sav- ;
aso saw the game, and started np his team
resolved to give him a little race for the
choice of positions at their destination.
They drove up Commercial street at full
speed with Savage in advance, and Swegle
whipping his horses in his frantic endeav
ors to pass his rival. At the comer opposite
the Union Hotel, Savage had the inside and
was compelled to make a very short turn
while Swegle came around on the outside.
The latter made the turn successfully, al
though his wagon ran on two wheels for a J
short distance. The bind wheel of Sava
ge's wagon broke down which tipped his '
wagon over, piling his grain on top of him. .
Sir. Savage alighted on his shoulder and
was hurt considerably. The team stopped in
an instant or the result might have been
worse. Mr. Savage was pulled out from
under the sacks and remarked, "Well, gen
tlemen, I know it was a foolish trick, but
my father before me would never let a team
pass him and his son wont allow it, without
an endeavor to prevent it."
Tvrn Vereinh. The visiting members of
this Society returned from Portland yester
day, and they were one and all in the best
of humor, having been well treated by the
members of the Portland Turu Vercins.
They were met at the depot by the reception
committee of the Portland Club and escort-,
ed to the Germania Hall, where appropriate :
speeches of welcome were delivered alter !
which quarters were taken up at the Cos- '
mopolitan Hotel. Sunday moming they i
met at the Turner's Hall, and together with ;
the Portland Society were escorted to the I
Canyon Gardens by the 21st Infantry Band, -i
where the day was spent in amusements of ,
various kmd, interspersed with exercises by '
the Turners, which in many cases elicited t
the harty applause of the large crowd of '
spectators that had gone thither to spend 1
the day. Our boys were treated in the most
hospitable manner, and returned home with
the pleasant recollections of a happy day.
A Narrow Escape. Three little chaps
amused themselves for some time Sunday
last playing around the mill-race near the
Agricultural Works. A plank is laid across
the race, about sixty feet above the falls,
and on this the boys would run, although
they were informed by bystanders that it
was rather a dangerous game. Finally the
youngest of the three, a little fellow about
four years old was seen to fall in. The cur
rent at this spot is very swift, and only a
few feet below are the falls, about eighteen
feet in hight. Luther Myers noticed the
accident and jumped in after him, and
barely succeeded in grasping him before he
went over, and soon had nim on shore.
Since the accident occurred a substantial
screen has been erected, which will prevent
a recurrence of the kind.
The M. E. Anxtal Conference.
Strangers are daily arriving in the city to
attend the Annnal'Conference of the M. E.
Church. Bishop Foster is a passenger on
the incoming steamer, and will in all prob
ability be in the city to preside over the con
vocation before the day set for Conference
to open. Delegates are being supplied with
accommodations as fast as they arrive, our
citizens showing a commendable spirit of
hospitality in this respect. The Conference
will meet in the University chapel next
Thursdav forenoon.
More Prisoners. Sunday's train from
the south brought four more inmates for the
"Hotel de Watkinds," three of whom were
convicted of horse stealing in Jackson
county. Their names were W. B. Dear
berry. Charles Wilson, and Thos. J. Allen,
and they were sentenced respectfully to 12,
9 and 5 "years imprisonment. Thos. Barker
was brought along at the same time, con
victed of grand larceny and sent up for a
term of three years.
Ox the Street. Our citizens were great
ly excited yesterday over the news of the
late tragedy in Polk county. Public senti
ment expressed itself in various wavs, but
the general impression was apparently in
sympathy with the parties who were acting !
in self defense. Such events are very apt J
to move utsiders to show their various" tern- i
peraments.
In the Country. During a twelve mile
ride among our farmers on Sunday last, we
found the most of them busily engaged in
the harvest fields. Threshing machines,
headers and repers were going at full speed
"on Sunday anil all in a heathenish wav."
Our farmers are compelled to adopt this
measure owing to the fact that their grain
is ripening so fast.
Returned Home. After nearly two weeks
absence, the Salem quartette Messrs. Fran
cis and Boon, and Misses Jordan and Gil
bert returned home yesterday. Thev re
port 1 laving had a jollv time, and speak in
tne nignest terms ol the hospitality ot the
Eugene City folks.
AtSilverton. While on a recent visit
to this little burg, we visited the Odd Fel
low's Hall recently completed. It is 80x25
feet in size and elegantly furnished and
would prove a credit to many places of
larger size.

Opinions of tbe Press.
The Tribune and Herald think Gen

tion that could have been made by tlie
Kepublicaus. Thurlow Weed influ
enced the Convention to take this
course.
Tlie World says that the resolutions
passed by tbe -State Republican Con
vention yesterday, inviting co-opera
tion oi democratic voters and noml
nation of Gen. Dix as Candidate lor
Governor, amounts to an apieai lor
.democratic assistance, it says there
never was a worse beaten ticket ttiau
this one will be, headed by Dix on tlie
pretence that he is a Democrat.
The Times considers the ticket the
strongest that could be nmde. Of the
platform, it says, It pledges the Re
publican party to continue reform, and
invites honest Democrats to assist iu
the work.

UE5T. DIX S LETTER.
AMrsthlns: DennnclatkMiThe Insta.
blllty of tlie Democratic Candidate
KtrMOns for hupperUiiK Oraut.
Washington, July 27.
Deak Sik : Your letter of the 13th
i:v6t asking my aid to procure a
speaker for a Greeley meeting at Han
cock, was sent out to me while I was
in New England, aud I have been un
able until now to acknowledge its le
ccptiou. I d not understand on what ground
you consider yourself authorized to ad
dress such a request to me. It vou had
lieen familiar with tlie course ot my
public life, and also with Mr. Gree
ley's, you could not have supposed me
capaU" of advocating his election to
tlie office of President of the United
States williout imputing to me the
utter abandonment ot all political
principle.
I am opposed to Mr. Greeley.
1. Because 1 believe him to be as
"unstable as water," iierpetmlly floun
dering (to carry out tlie Scriptural fig
ure) amid the surges of opinion, and
deficient in all the requisites essential to
a firm, steady and consistent adminis
tration of the government.
2. Because be has usually been
found among the most extreme ultra
ists on the great questions of political
aud social duty which have been
brought under publiediscussiou during
the last quarter of a century.
3. Because he has been the advo
cate (and in this instance persistently)
ot that most unjust and unequal com
mercial system which is destroying our
mercantile and shipping interests, and
heaping np enormous accumulations
of wealth iu tlie hands of the.-protected
classes to the oppression and impover
ishment of all others.
4. Because heTs associated, in rela
tions more or less intimate, with
some of the chief plunderers of
the city of New York, justly
warranting the apprehension that
through his simplicity or his facile dis
position, the same system ot fraud and
corruption which has disgraced the
municipal government of this city may
be carried to more infamous extremes
iu the administration of tlie Federal
Government ; and,
5. Because in the darkest hour of
the country's peril, when a traitorous
combination had lieen formed to over
throw the Government he openly coun
seled the cowardly policy of non-resistance,
and an acquiescence iu the
dissolution of the Union, whenever the
Cotton States should make up their
minds to go.
The coalition which lias been formed
to promote his election is one of the
most extraordinary in the history of
parties, In respect both to the discord
ant elements it embraces and the sur
render of principles it involves.
The Cincinnati Convention, called to
bring before the people important
measures of reform, nominated him,
greatly to the surprise of the whole
country, knowing him, in regard to
one of those measures, to be an impla
cable opponent nominated him, too,
against the wishes and judgment of
the chief promoters of the movement,
who accepted him, either with an
avowed or ill-concealed disgust, which
would be far more creditable to tlieir
feelings if the act ot acceptance were
not utterly irreconcilable with their
principles.
The Democratic Convention at Bal
timore indorsed and commended him
to Hie support of their party not as
tlie exponent ot any particular princi
ples they have professed, or any meas
ures tiiey nave advocated, out as a
known and bitter opponent of both
the man who, perhaps, of all others.
has been tlie most malignant toward the
Ueoiocracy. linpenchuig its mrejrriiy.
traducing its motives, and villitying its
character.
The adoption of such a man as tlieir
candidate for the chief magistracy of
of the Union, is the most conspicuous
abandonment of political principles
known to party contests.
It remains to be seen whether the
great body of the Democratic voters,
and tbe true friends of reform, can be
made parties to this unscrupulous co
alition between political leatlers.
That Gen. Grant has committed mis
takes, his most sincere friends admit.
But if his errors had lieen fourfold
more numerous, he would in my opin
ion, be a much better Chief Magistrate
than Mr. Greeley. He has, in that
capacity, done much for which he de-
serves the thanks of the country.
Above all, he has kept it at peace, not
witlistaiuling the efforts of sensational
journals and popularity-seeking ioliti
cians to provoke hostilities with Spain
on the question of Cuba, aud with
Great Britain on the Alabama claims
and the fisheries.
If regardless of these titles to the
approval of his fellow-citizens, and of
his invaluable services during tlie late
civil war, they should set him aside for
Mr. Greeley ; if the latter, a mere er
ratic politician, untried iu any impor
tant public trust, should lie elevated to
the office of chief magistracy of tlie
Union a Union which would not now
exist if his counsels had been followed
and if the man who, of all othei-s,
has done the most to preserve if should
lie discarded for a successor so ill quali
fied aud so unscrupulously nominated
and sustained, the example won'' lie
mwt deplorable in its influence 00 all
high motives to political action, id
justify the most painful forebodi, gs js
to the future.

TIHBTI tM OF THEM.
The Indianapolis Journal tells what
ails one "baker's dozen" of Greeley
ites: George W. Julian wants a little
plain soda to settle his stomach, a seat
in Congress and reform.
Tom Still well wants to go to South
America again where he won't have
to sleep with his armor on and re
form. John R. Cravens wants to sit at the
right hand of the Governor, clothed in
power and glory and reform.
T. A. Hendricks wants to turn bis
hack on the past and rest himself in a
cushioned chair at Washington and
leform.
Barton D. Able, of St. Louis, wants
his sureties to pay up 250.000 he is
owing the Government aud reform.
John S. Williams wants to get the
letter he wrote to the Pension Bureau,
asking tor an appointment, off the
tiles and reform.
.lames I!. Uy.in wants to get out a
patent lor his new douhle-back-action-bean-threshcr
and reform.
David Bursou wants his above proof,
and without sugar and reform.
Jiavlcs W. llaiina wants to be hon
orably exiled to the Court of St. James
and reform.
Father Alvord wants the cards shuf
fled so as to give us Greeley and re
form. Carl S hurz wants to know what the
Sentinel meant by calling him a
mercenary Hessian who would light
ou any side for pay"' and reform.
Voorhees wants to know, since lie
h is swallowed Greeley, whether he Is
standing by his life-long principles"
or whether he is a "dishonest mail,
uu worthy of his own resject or the
resieet of anybody else" and reform.
Gratz Brown wants crabs anil re
form. TO
what iiorait: ;rki:m:y
MA.Vm COMMITTED.
The Biughampton (N. Y.) Republi
can fruruishes circumstances which
amount to proof, that Horace Greeley
would not consent to stand as a can
didate for the Presidency till he had
received a promise of sitpimrt lroin
Horatio Seymour and leading Demo
crats ; that a part of the bargain was
that Seymour should have a Cabinet
office ; and that Greeley gave either a
direct or implied promise to use his
Presidency influence iu favor of pen
sioning the wounded Confederate sol
diers. Our pension list now covers an
auuuil cxM'iiditure of $32,000,000,
and is steadily increasing. If the men
whose treason cost the nation this
great debt in behalt of the loyal
wounded are also to be pensioned, the
list will lie sweeled to i0,(K)0.000 a
year, and those who gave their per
sons and lives for the Union will lie
taxed to reward the trators they were
putting down.' The worst aspect ot
the proiosition is that, should there
arise a like cause for war hereafter,
this pcnioning of traitors will operate
as a premium for treason and a dis
count of loyalty. Who will care to
fight for a country that rewards its ene
mies equally with its friends?
;HASTLY CHIME.
A Horrible Story from Missouri.
Makyvillk, Mo., August 21. An
atrocious series of murders were
brought to light yesterday by the ar
rest of a man named Ostjorue, at
Clairinont. It appears that Osborne,
who was traveling with a covered
wagon, stopped for some purpose,
when some men were attracted to tho
wagon by a stench proceeding from it.
Upon examination they found five
lxdies in it. Osborne confessed, at
the end of a rope, tliat the murders
were committed by one V illiams. near
llaltou. Kansas. O-bomc had been
employed to put the bodies out f tlie
way. tie confessed having traveled
on with tlie terrible load live days.
From a memorandum found on one of
the bodies, it is inferred they- were a
party of movers, consisting of Mr.
Ohms, wife and two children and a
young man named Dickson, supposed
to be a brother of Mr. Ohms. They
traveled from Minnesota to Southern
Kansas, and were probably on their
way to Nebraska. The last memor
andum by the young man was made
near Halton. The coroner held an in
quest yesterday, and the bodies were
buried atClairmont.
AS tiOOD AS XE1V,
The Rev. Petroleum V. Xaby de
scrilied some time ago an interview'
he had with Vallaiidigham, when the
latter gentleman was contemplating
the famous "new departure." in lan
guage which is worth repeating. Tho
following is the closing portiou :
V. "Nashy. we must succeed."
N. K'ertinly. But we're in a tiff
place. Our speakers is cmbarist. P
takes a gigantick intcllek to bring tin
pints together. A spritely boy wun
put 2tX) csgs in a nest for a hen to se'i
ou. Sez his maternal mother;
" "My son. why puttest thou so
mans eggs under the hen ? She canst,
not kiver em.'
' "Certainly slie canst not ; but thim-1
der! I want to see her spread lier1
self."
"Jest so. Our speakers is in the
same fix. The outside egg in the
Diiuokvntik nest is opposition to the
war. Totlwr side of the nest. 200 egg
distant is the support of the war. Tr.
kiver them all requires great stretchin'
caiiachy."
V. "Troo. too froo. But we must
mix it and trust to luck. In loyal
counties stuff 'em with dilooted paN
riotism ; in our counties, pure secesh.
The people is just as gullible now as
ever they wuz."
1 left the patriot and sage much
comforted.
If this does not describe the present
little game of the Democracy and the
political situation, nothing can.

HOW HE. GOT TO PARIS.
One of the oddest April-fool-tricks
on record is that perpetrated by Rabe
lias. He was in Marseilles and desti
tute ol funds, but anxiously yearned
to go to Paris. It was the first of
April, and an Idea struck him. He
filled two vials with brick dust and la
beled them as containing poison to be
administered to the royal family. He
put these vials where thev would be
discovered. He was promptly arrest
ed, and with great mystery. AH ex
planation was refused him. He was
at once placed en route for Paris, and
conveyed tliere with great expedition.
Carried to tlie palace as a traitor, he
explained the jest. The vials were
examined, and lie was released amid
general laughter.
Grant Defaulters. An Eastern
exchange lias the following :
It is curious to see how tlie New
York Tribune is 4tuii" now. For in
stance, the other day it published a list
of -Grant defaulters," as it styled
them. Aa examination brought out
tlie fact tliat tlie list includes many o.
Greeley's supporters. It begins with
Barton Able of St. Louis who. It
charges, has $250,000 unaccounted for
as Collector of the First District. Able
Is one of tbe prominent Greeley men
in Missouri, and lie is one who has
funds to contribute to tlie cause. Go
ing on down, the list Includes several
of lesser note, and It Is probable that
complete examination will reveal hal
of those who have been Uiu publicly
exiwed to be supporters of Greeley.
Tbe only vice that cannot be for
given is hypocrisy. Tlie repentauoe
of a hypocritlc is itself hypocrisy.
