NeptouSweglo, son of Matblas Swegle, a likely lad aged about 15 yean, hai beeu -going to school tliU winter to Joseph Selwood in the Shelton School House, below tho 1 Marlon Square This morning as bo came riding don n Division street, be called to a school fellow who was on the. sfdevralktbat ia would beat him to the school bouse. The other lad ar-cep-ed the friendly binter and ran on foot,wlillu young Swegle started tbo horse to a gallop. Ntiarlng the Commercial street cross walk the horse shied from a load ed dray andiVll,tbroviug Nepion and lulling on him heavily. The boy's nttk and shoulders struck on the cros walk and the lower part of his body was badly bruised fey the Lores falling on bim. Dr. Daw no was passing At tho time, and as snort as possible he assisted to convey the senseless form to the house Of Mr.-G. W.-Jordan, near by, -where, tho unfortuhale lad received every posslblo care. Dr. Shelton whs Immediately sent for, aud all m done'tbat medical t-klll rould suggest, but appurantly without avail. 'Mr. Malt Svvegle lives 3 miles east of town on the old homestead of hi brother, Charley Sweglo. who is1 nowr in tbexStates The parents wero sentior ana were rtoh present. When v.e visited ihejiou'e at, noon the suf larer still remained senseless and we'under stand that Dr. Shelton considers the chief" in jury to be of a spinal nature, and concussion of the brain of so serious a character an to leave soiree a hopeol recovery. At 3:30 p m. we le rn from Dr. Payton swho is regular physician of Mr. Swegle's -family, that Ids ton lies in a comatose con dition with the chances overwhelmingly against his evpr awaking therefrom. KORTKWESTERN COMMERCIAL CO. We aro informed that the business of Brad ley, Marsb & Co., Portland, whose enterprise 3ast year built up such an Important 'trade with the whole country, is about to be merg ed into a corporation known as the "North western Commercial Company" to be organ ized with $50,000 cash capital, which will probably be doubled in a short time. The Board' of Directors of this corporation are Meters. A. J. Dufur, Qreeu Berry Smith, T. J. Matlock. J. A. Bradley, Win. Mi PowerR, and S. L Marsh. The officers are J.A Brad ley, President; S. L. Marsb, Vice President; T. J. Ma'lnck, Secretary. This looks very much like business and wo shall watch fur ther movements with Interest. IlcsuitANt'K PoLlcr Paid. This morning Mr. Geo. H. Jones, on behalf of the Union Insurance Company of San Francisco, paid to Mr. John Payne, ol Polk county, near Dallas, $2,100 coin, the amount oi policy on tho dwelling lately burned, on the old Whitley homestead. The payment Is very punctually made. Lin: Insurance, T.J. Cottle,of the North Pacific Mutal Life Association, bos made a canvassing tour in the country with good success, find ts .back here again. The plan adopted by the Company takes well. We had a pleasant call this morning from Mr. JB.j Dickinson, of Portland, who has been connected with the Grange Agency at Portland, and is now visiting the upper coun ties on business interests. Notaries Public On Yesterday Gov. Kjj,Jrover appointed W. B. Carter of Corvallls, Benton county, and W. J. Graham, of Clackr etnas county, Notarios Public for Oregon. Mr. Knight's nab lecture on ''Birds" was -well attended last evening, and treated at length and with interest on ''The Education al Value of Natural History Studies." We understand that Divld Newsora, Esq., is likely to become chief editor of the Stales man, to till the vacancy occasioned by the late Massacre of Glencoe. Very little rein has fallon this winter. The ground has never been thoroughly W6t to -the bed rock and the river has not been more iban good boating stage. Tuppor ifc McDjnald,of the new Dray Com pany, were unfortunate yesterday in losing a fine horse, worth $200, by colic. Wo do not remember in twenty five years a February before this wheu grass did jiotmako some growth. Friday, Ftb 20. UNivrBsiTY Exercises. Quite a good at tendance of visitors was present at the after noon literary oxerclses. Them were four very good compositions on "Temperance," liy Geo. Meacham, Al Peebles, J. F. John son and Mr. Johns. Mr. McLench read a composition on "Time" which showed sense, Mr. Rlnehart read a composition on the -"Seasons." Miss Hattlo Clarke bad a rather sarcastic composition on "Young La dies" which was to have bad as a companion petceR composition on "Young Gentleman" "by Miss Georgia Carpenter, who was indis posed, so the "Younir Ladles" had no es--corts. Hisses Mary Judson and Eilth Dil lon and Mr. Marks bad recitations tba$ were ( -well rendered. The College choir fcang. and a duet by Misses Nettie Cook and Emily Tarnaenter was very ni'-e,. We must not ftrget Mr. J. L. Wortm tn's rejltatlony'Wo uieot upon tho level double and we' prt upon the fquare," which was excellent.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrdw Illll, of Albany, came from Califori uli 011 the last steamer, where they had pass ed tbo winter hoping for benefit to Mrs. Hill's health, but the hope was not realized.

Increase of Business. The ezteut of the business by the opposition river steamers can be Imraaglned when we state that the In crease of tonnage passing through the looks In 1874, more than in 1S73, was about 15,000' tons. Now Is the time to plant nut, maples, and Mr. J. fo Parrlih can supply you, for 50 cents each, with beautiful trees 8 to 11 feet high, four years old, from the seed. , -Saturday, Feb. 27.

THE SOUTHERN MINES. A gentleman interested In the groat Oregon Bonanza, at Galice Creek? writes the follow ing loiter to a friend at Roseburg, who, in turn, forwarded It to Mr.jC. D.

Or tho cause of (bis action liy tbe unknown parties, I have no knowledge, whatever; but I do know tbat farmers Jiving near to Silom, who pursuer sheep husbandry as part of their business, have good reason to wlsiull the mischievous mean ours that are kept In tho city were) killed as soon us possible, by poison or otbor means. Only this past week Mr. J. A. Johns, living south of the city, had two sheep killed at his farm by dogs from South Salem, and Mr. Warrou Johns, I understand, followed thorn home aud killed sotno of them In tho village. I have mysolt boon n loser of valu able sheep Irom tho same cause during tbe past two summers, while grazing my shoep ou tho Island; have bad sheep worried re peatedly this winter In uiylbirnyard ; and as I Intend to keep to the un ot sheep as means of killing the uudsrgrowth on tho Is land 'this season, I shall try to protect them by keeping poison out almost all tho time. I make this statement thus publicly because 1 do not wish tq klllany valuablo dog lu my efforts to destroy those that aro a nuisance. J. MtNTO. DISTRICT TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. Dr. L. L.
