Last week we published . a composition on piss by a Grant eoim- ty boy, and headed it A Graut County Boy on Pigs. Last Tuesday evening while attending a trial at the court room, a boy about six years old a brother of the boy who wrote the com position accosted us as follows: "Mr. Shepherd, you were mistaken about Eddie in your paper." How is that, we asked. "Why' said he, "you said he was on pigs, and he never was on a pig in his life." Wc will bet a new hat that no county in Oregon has a boy with as much originality. Killed. On last Tuesday afternoon while a man by the name of John Perry was working in a placer mine about three .miles up Canyon Creek from this place, the bank caved iu on him and he was crushed to the ground. Some Chinamen "ot him out but he was unable to speak until about 11 o'clock at night, when he told those watching him that he could not live, after which he became unconscious and died about 1 o'clock of the same n ght. ICo his no relatives in this country. The funeral services took place on Wednesday. Pkixtkh's J'io-mic. Mr. .1. II. Neal, typo, and Charlie Dustin, ex dev il, ol this otlije concluded to have a "printer's pic-nie" last Saturday, and accordingly took their little gun and blankets ami went, to the hills.

They feasted on per ateis with eves filled with a little coarse gravel, piekel e 1 mustpiitoes, grasshoppers fricasseed, crickets served on toast, bull terrier pies and black snake sliced with onions. They arrived home on Sund.iv evenm-ir. The Wat-ion Brothers of the S'ate Iin Herald, at Ltkeview, go after our P.

He is authorized by us to s-dicit ami receive subscriptions to the News, and receipt for moneys, while out on this trip. Improvements. Sir. SI. A. Lucas is building a barn for Sir, B. C. Trow bridge, the dimensions of which are 70 feet long, -16 feet wide and IS feet high. Pic has also contracted to build a school house at John Daytown. Tue Clarendon Hotel, at Portland is the headquarters for all the leading men of Canyon City and Grant couu ty. The News will be found there, and also at Capt. Ferguson's Barber shop. SIiss Douthit returned from Lino couuty last Thursday evening. The Avalanche says: Gossip has been quite buy in this city lately im plicating certain parties iu rather questionable transactions, such as ihe great Beecher might be supposed to be guilty of. The scene of the plot is tracable to a ravine within a hundred miles of the Potosi mine, aud the hour shortly before midnight. It was at first supposed that there was a "ghost5' on the premises. Ghosts, however, are generally pretty well behaved, espe cially in the matte of observing the leventh commandment, not being ad dicted to browsing in strange pastures. We are waiting further particulars by underground telegraph. Prom an article in the last issue of the East Oregonian it appears that that paper has learned of another Bee cher case with the .-cene and plot laid within a hundred miles of Oro Dell. We always did despise a "sheep killing dog," aud .more especially one that kills at home, and that under the cloak of radical piety. The East Or egonian is very personal in its remarks, but perhaps it ' knows more than it says. At anyrate if the half be true that has been told us, we think that the East Oregonian was very mild. We don't wish to mention names, for people will talk, "ihey all do it." Beecher bad the "true grit" to swear to his innocence (?) but it appears others have not. -SIy dear little Tommy looks so p:le, and it seems as though that nasty sore on his mouth would never go away! Now just look at that- little Walter of Sirs. Brown's, the little child is the very picture of health." Walter is a good little boy and takes hisduse of Oregon Blood Putifier, and his papa givei hi:n ten cents a week for it. SIitciiels John SlcCown, who lives near the above locality aud who has recently opened a sfore for the accommodation of the Bridge Creek trade, paid a hurried visit to this city on last. Sunday on business connected with the next Federal census. He re ports business as being lively in that tection. aud states that he took up oOOO pounds of flour which he sold at 12 per bin el within ten days after he iot it there. Wool was plenty and the shepherds there escaped much of the severity of the great snow storm in February las;. There is also a pros pect of of increase! settlement aiound there, as immigrants in suarch of homes are daily ; rriviug from all quar teis. Empire.
