Teslerday April gave tia Its parting In a plethora of tears, which came In iitful gtista, passionate showers and smiling sunshlno as it eouie splrll-tossed woman had become clerk ot the weather. April became at the close, like NIobe all tears, but the grass grew greener, the leaves came out to look at each other, lnllacH bloouiod and roses unfol ded a little, and the blooming of our orchards was showered on the ground llkofrcsh fallen now. April has turned over Its accounts to May In good condition, with a small balanco of tears on hand, perhaps, to be dispensed by nor more blooming sister, but April has done well by us and luft us llelds, gardens, vineyards and orchards promising bounti fully in the future. But May is essentially the month of prom Ise. It was a month welcomed by tho anci ents and towhloh thoy dedicated odes and rendered floral tributes In festivals that have wade Mayday adollghtful anticipation forour own prosaic ago. To-day, through Christen dom the world Is Joyous with tho song or birds and the gleo of children, who yield their homage to tho Quoon of tho May, crowned with tho wild (lowers of tho valleys and the 'hillsides. With tho coming of May the farmor turns bis last furrow for tho Spring sowing and leaves Ills work to the euro of nature, not doubting tho harvest will come In duo time. Hobus plenty olso to do, but his seed timo for the year Is over. On tho whole wo nro rather pleased with tho fact that May has arrived aud probably there Is no special need to entreat our read ers to treat hor well aud mnko tho most of her delicious days aud charming evenings. Juno follows with a less fastidious t.isto aud less gentle touch. July comes next with jbveilsh breath and parchod landscacs, aud vrhllo May and October reallzo a full idea of promlso and performance, thero aro no wonthsbotwoon that so ploasotheoyo, charm tho scusos, and satisfy tho souls longing for the best our earth atlords. Down tiu: Columma. A party which went down the river and to Astoria ou tbo Wlllametto Chief last Tuesday, had a very pleasant trip and report various incidents by tbo way. Leaving here In the morning very ar)y tho Chlof reached Portland at noon, re mained tberetlvo hours loading cargo. Leav ing Portland at D v. ji., they wont down tho Columbia by moonlight, meeting the John L. Stophous boforo getting out of the Willam ette. All her passougers were on dock and wavod their bats and handkerchios and cheered lustily. Tho Chlof tied up at Cath laiuet, awaiting 'daylight to crow tbo wide flats six miles abovo Astoria, and reached that place about six In the morning. She went alongside the huge ship Vermont which only needed tho loading of the Chief to com plete her cargo of nearly 2,000 tous. This wheat and Hour la never moved again until the ship reaches .Liverpool. All day was pent unloading, during which some of the passengers visltod friends about town, not withstanding the steady rain that made the day disagreeablo. Tho Chief made tho jour ney np to Portland during the night, passing tbo AJax on hor way up. Astoria Is said to be Improving and gaining in population as well as In improvements. The fisheries along tho Lower Columbia aro becoming a very important feature, aud aro to ilguro largely In the future trado and commerce of Oregon.

Tho runners employod in Man Francisco to turn tbe tido of emigration that Is rapidly com ing in there from the Eastern States, toward Southern California, uso all sorts of con .templablo menus to misinform tho settlers in cregardtoourtstato.

When our Hkcohii Is completed for the week, its labors being ended by Its arrival at your door, It will llnd you welcoming the projpect of rest, and glad or tho relief from six day's unremitting toll. They who labor aro entitled to rest, and only they who labor appreciate the valuo of Saturday night when It arrives. It Is tho weariness of work-day lifo that makes the rost of tho Sabbath holy, and overy ono Is to bo pitied whoso llfo has no 'consistent round of useful labor, whoso limbs aro never wery, aud wIiomi heart Is never sad, Thu savugo who never labors mid the child or luxury who knows no toll, aro alike uiiablo !o appreciate tho charm of of the week's clos-o, thu rest which Saturday night brings. Man is mado to toll and mado to grieve. Only limbs that havo been weary can nppieclato tho cessation from work aud tho coming of tho Sabbath. Only n heart thnt been sometimes sad can know the purest pleasures mid tho truest Joys. Uibor swictoiis ami sorrow purities tbo lives of men. From tho Scriptural account, tlio work of creation was completed on Saturday, ami tho world thenceforward went spinning on Its eternal orbit whllo tho Creative Hand rested nnd pronounced tho work to bo good. We do not learn that man amounted to much until ho hud to work for his biead. Adam and Eve Invented nothing hut a lloln thu Gnidon, where thoy woro blumelesH vaga bonds who ate what grew on the trees of Kden and helloed what the devil told them.

Wo Incllnetotho opinion that "Adams fall," let him Into a Job of hard work that mado him useful to hlmbelf.at leint, and gave him an appreciation of the coming of each Saturday night. womxi biKittuis uminu. Owing doubtless to the weather, but few were present last evening at tbe Opera House. Tbe meeting was called to order by Mrs. John Mlnto. Mrs. Wm. England "manlpnlsted tbe ivories" and as usual gave the audience some choice mntlo during the evening. The first speaker Hon. Itufus Mallory, commenced by acknowledging thai be knew but little about tbe subject bai'nt aiven it much attention. He then proceeded to read 'U copious extracts from Professor Folwer'a works, and tho selections read proved that the anthor knew as little about " womans right" as Mr. M. said be did. Mr. Mallory made a very good speech however, and If the audience was satisfied with It, we are. Tbo next speaker Rov. P. S. Knight said he supposed he had been invited not to tnake a special plea for womau suffrage, but to speak his own mind. Ho took the position that suffrage was a duty more properly, than a right; that It should notbt Imposed on womou as a class till u ninjori y of thorn woro willing: that ' "" " , j ' "" , the first worl of such societies as this should bo to Influence tho vtumen themselves, oud i that tho aim should bo much more general than merely to secure tho ballot for women. The right to vote Is to bo ouo of tho mere In cidentals of her progress. The speaker warned his leaders against tbo delusion that tho ballot would remedy all tho Ills to which womau Is heir. It would not relievo women from domestic cures, not enable them to make better marriago contracts than they make now. Women should robel, bo said, agatust tlio tyranny ofdres, fashion and cus tom, as well as against tho tyranny of man, All reformers must bo willing to wait as well as labor. Tboy must be sunt that they do the right thing tlrst. Mr. Knight said overy reformer passes through ihrro stages. Tho world llrst laughs, then lights, then surrenders. This reform has not yet pased tho laughing stage. Af ter a while there will bo u tight. Then tho great American nation will gracefully sur render the ballot to women. At t lie conclusion of Mr. Knights remarks, Mr. James Walton was called for. That gentleman came forward and stated that "lie hud attended tho meeting to hear some of tho grotl lights mid apostles ol woman's rights talk, but had heard only from tho "mcantr sex." Ho "bait n bugo disgust on" and crushing his hat over his eyes ho vanished from tlio hall with such precipitancy that four cr live small Ixiys might havo Indulged In n gamo of marbles on his coat tail. Tho meeting adjourned. A Pakihkii Hunt. Mr. A. Hawk, of Ilueua Vista, has been spending the winter at Coal Creek, tho region Frank Cooper made famous In Clackamas county, and informs us that It abounds In game of tho vlolous kind. Tho Inhabitants bavo tho spurs of tho Cascado Mountains for neighbors, and tho stock chlelly kept by thoso rough old set tlors aro wild cats and panthers, the latter being wo suppose what our California brothors call lions California lions of cnurao. Calllornlaus aro so cheeky that they havo been for twonty years shipping our wheat and wool as their products and they try to monopolizo our panthers and call thorn lions, besides. Down or uj Coal Crook, the settlement becamo convinced that thero were "varmints" about, and two weeks ago the men and boys turned out for a good hunt. One of tho boys was named David Cleok, and being 10 years old, ho bad dogs of courso, his favorites beluga couple of hound pups eight months old. While they were pros pecting the ridges these enterprising young hunters scared up a couploof panthers. Tho hounds treed one of them and as Davy was close by with his rllle, they went after tho other and treed him while tho lad was solid- lug a bullet through tho first ones brains, which ho did successfully. Then he followed up and sout another through the second one's brains, being huntsman enough, aud gocd onougli shot, to save spoiling a panther, skin. Hunting up liis company, the young Mer told hU luck and going back to where tho gamo was started, they scared up one inoro panther and dlspatchrd him. Ailer this successful raid on their savage neighbor they wont homo to llnd n wild cat had got caught In n stool trap, which they left on duly at homo. Mr. Hawk considers Hint young David Cleek deserves a lirst-mto notice and wo hcaitily agree with him, Thn pauthorM appeared to bo fully grown and qulto able bodied. """iJATMmi P.woui).

GiniVAls, On., May 2, 1871. Yesterday evening, ahout 5 o'clock, Mr. Uaso Halt, a dry goods clerk of this place, left tbo store of his employers, Messrs. Geod man .V Kamensky. His employers took no notice or bis absence until bed time, but nothing serious was supposed to bo tho mat ter until this morning, when Inquiry com menced to bo mado concerning the missing mau. With lightning rapidity tho report Hew from Up to Up, until our ltttlo village was soon all astir, and various rumors woro on tho wing as to where tho unforlunato man was last seen. It was ascertained that ho had taken n pistol w 1th htm from Iho storo where ho was employed, and that a lady hail seen him go Into a building formerly occnplod as church. Mr. 11. P. Stevens started to search the building, and ou entering tonnd a largo quantity or clotted blood upon the lloor. Al most every citizen or the town turned out mid commenced a diligent search, which was rewarded lu about three hours by Iho find ing of Mr. Halt still alive, but with a fearful gash lu his throat, lulllcted with a rimir by his own hand, and niton pistol shot In the left side of his forehead. Tho unfortunate man was found In it vacant dwelling, some two hundred yards from where the terrlblo nltomptsat self-destruction were made. Tho stippoltlon is that after doing himself the Injury that ho fainted, aud ou coming to ho had gotten up and gouu to this house, knowing tnat thero was a bed and bed cloth. Ing lu it, and that ho wont to bed, thinking that tho messenger of death would soon re lievo him from tho terrlblo agony ho was atiffurlug. Ho was found between two and three o'clock this evening, nnd stops were Immediately taken to do all In tho power or brotlieisnnd kind friends for tho unfortunate young man. Ho was carried to i neighbors house, where Dr. W. A. Cuslck dtessed his wounds, which aro thought not i. bo mortal. Mr. Halt was unable to speak for sovoral bouts, owing to tho loss or blood, but at last accounts ho was doing well, and strong hopos aro entertaluod or his recovery. Tho causo or tho rash art, as stated In a noto that was found lu his pocket, was that somo porsous had slandered him, and that tho Almighty would settle with them for it; that hu bad takon his owu lire; and request ing his friends to writo to his relatives and inform them of his death. Tho noto was nlgnod Isaac, Halt. Mr. Halt has been known In this vicinity for llfteen or twenty years, and has always borne a splendid reputation for honesty and Integrity; In fact, it was thought ho had no onomlos, aud ir his statement was trim that somo person bad been slandering him, It must surely havo been without Just cause.
