Tlie reason why our columns apiwared
without an editorial, was that Gov. Wat
kinds reqnested us t give him a rest as he
was at present engaged in business con
nected with the Knpreme Court, and bad
no time to answer for the Mercury.
At Ibanon, last Saturday, while some
workmen were engaged in digging a ditch
under a sidewalk, Mr. Jeremiah Italston,
one of the men at work, met with a severe
accident. It apjvears that the walk was
t lted up and supported by several nprlgl t
pieces of wood. One of tlie supports gave
way, and the walk. In tailing, hit a scant

as to hit Mr. Ralston on the teinp!e,
knocking him senseless. In which condi

Pclton Horse Powers and Separators, with
other useful farming machinery.
Samples ot the Pelton six told gear
power and ten horsepower separator are
now to be seen at Boothby & Stapleton's
manufactory, in Salem.
Many farmers have examined them and
pronounce them to be far superior to any
power or thresher on the coast. Mr. Pel
tnn. the inventor and builder, has threshed
in California, on a large ranch with an en
larged machine, 6,000 bushe.s in a nay.
Thrw. or four farmers, combining in a
neighborhood, can buy one without in
convenience, and thresh all their grain,
early in the season, with a six Told geared
power and ten horse power separator,
which will thoroughly thresh and clean
2,000 bushels per day. The cost is not
greater than for the best Imported power
and separators, and the work done will
be two-thirds more.
It is also intended to manufacture the
ten dollar cast iron plow for gravelly lands,
and all tlie wood work tor the same kirn1
of machinery, powers and separator, i
the California market. A foundry am1
several large shops w ill be needed by the
company.
It is Intended for the security of this in
stitution. that the ruling power ol the com
pany shall be farmers, something after tin
manner of the farmers' great storage honss
in Salem, now under charge of our most
able and capable fellow citizen, Mr. Wm
Herren.
The capital stock needed will Iks $30,0CX
In 30.00 shares, about one-half to be paic
in for active capital, the balance to be used
as credit. About 23 powers and separa

Kditor Statesman Dear Sir: In tin

I find a letter published, written by my
self to Mr. David Xewsoma, The lettei
was not intended tor publiciition. but wa
it private note, penned hastily and withoui
proper consideration to my . old frieiul
Xewsome, and I regret exceedingly tin
publicity given to the careless words in re-
sr ,r,l to the Hon. Mr. Lane. It was not
...
my intention to attack him m amy such
manner, especially during his absence.
The words occurring in tne notex
only a Catholic, but Who was drunk e
day in the canvass," should be not
nntlmlie. but was drinkinc. etc. I w
make this correction in regard to the
Irunk. In reference to -he expressio
Catholic, it was not mr intention to use it
oHensively. With the religion of any
person I have nothing to do. All have
their rights and should bo protected in
them, and no one would go further man
myselt in aiding and demanding protec
tion to any and all the several denomina
tions of Christians iu our country.
Mr. Lane and I passed through the cat -

with mutual eood feeling, and now mai
he is the Representative of Oregon I cer
