A Swindler Makes a Raise. Last Thursday two men registered thom solves at tha Commercial Hotel as F. Joues and G. Dufly. Joues left tho next day and forgot to pay his little bill, which was unkind because tho tortus were so reasouable. Both mon pretended to hail from The Dalles, and they roomed together. On Tuesday Mr. Graves asked G. Duffy to make a payment, and Qeorgo answered that he woull in r. few minutes; that he had money at tho Express ofllco but they could not identify him, and if Mr. Graves would write his name alongside bison a slip of paper, that would be sufficient identification for the Express agent, uud ho would draw tho mouoy aud pay tho bill. Dufloy fortunately had a "slip of paper" iu his pocket, on which he wrote his owu name aud Mr. Graves thoughtlessly put his name under it; and as a consequence, he this morning rocoivod an official note from James A. Smith, Xotary Public, that the "slip of pa per" was protested at the First National Bank. It proves to havo been a check on that Bank drawn in the name of F. L. Oregon Fruit to Chicago, Wo saw, this morning, at tho Impress ofllco hero, three small packages, uicelyjnitnp, of Alden dried fiult, which Mr. P.Uton was sending to Mr. Schuylor, Prosidont of the Alden Compauy of Chicago, at his requost, which will convey to tho people thereabout n very fair opinion of tho qnillty of Oregon fruit. Tho varitlos rppreeutod were Fall Butter pears, Bluo Feanuaiu aud Yellow Newtown apples. In Pursuit. Sheriff Shaw has beon muking inquiries as to tho w hereabouts of Goorge Dully who defrauded Mr. Graves out of money by procuring his endorsement uu der false pieteucos. This morning they thought he was dicoered at Jacksonville, bat that idea id now abandoned and it is re ported that ho was seen a day or ro ago at Portland iu tho shadow of the "15th Amend ment" saloon, a very likely place for such a fellow to be. Mr. McFarland, who has just roturnod from Dallas informs us that Mr. R. M. May, coun ty Tieasuier of Polk county aud Mr. Teal of that place, both men advanced in yoars are danfrously ill of erysipelas. Mrs. May died a few weeks ago and the old gentleman fells her loss vory much. Coming Picnic The young people of Howell and Salem Prairie Intend haying a picnic, near tbe Pudding river bridgo be tween Mr. F. N. Woodworth's and Salem, about six miles east of tho latter place, on Saturday, May 22 J, 1S75. The public aru in vited to attend. Died Near Wellsburg, West Virginia, April 5th, 1S75, Joseph Iluklll, aged 9J years. Deceased was tho father of Mrs. F. G, L. Norton, in favor t..i .,... -...,- .,. .i........ i.i.. ,-. ,,, of Geo. Duffy, for $o5, to which Mr. Wesley attended aud comforted by four Graves became an unwitting endorser. The I "l3raunrXldr 0OU"orMU "y ,our follow Dutlv went immediately to the lUuk hero and the name of Wesley Graves procur ed the cash on the otherwise worthless "slip .of paper." Duffy is a rascal anu deserves lo .-be followod up and made to suffer ior the i.swiudle, for the bank of Portland knows Clothing of F. L. Norton. The case assumes n aspect of ingratitude when we also learn tht Duffy put tha proceeds in his pocket and absquatulated without paying his board, which doubles bis Infamy. As" for Mr. Graves, he gets offoheap if he learns at this trifling cost the necessity of keeping his good jiaoie off of "little klips or paper." Presbytery of Oregon. Last evening: the Presbytery of Oregon met in the Presbyterian Church, Portland, at 7:30 o'clock, and opened with a sermon by Rav. J. K. Thompson, the retiring Modera tor. Rev. W. R. Stewart, of this city, was elect ad Moderator for tbe ensuing year. Rev. J. Km, of Port Townsond, was elect ad Clerk.

Firemen's Excursion to Corvallis. This forenoon the Hitmen came back from Corvallis, marching up from the landing to the tune of "Home, Sweet Homo." They re port having had a very delightful time, and tho few showers that Icll between times were not sufficient to dampen tholr ardor, much lass lesson their enjoyment. Leaving hero on the good steamer Gov, Grover, they only roached Albany about 3 a. M., having been expected at midnight. But tho Albany boys were awake to give them a bonison (not any benzine) as they went by, and they were re ceived by a Committee of Albany dromon and escorted to tho Hall, when a handsome lunch was served to them as a proof of the genius of Albany hospitality. At 7 o'clock tho next morning the Grover steamed up the river, reaching Corvallis at about 9 o'clock. The boys say they wero cared for on the steamer and have no com plaint to make, but on the contrary wero used superbly. At Corvallis they were re ceived by tho Fire Department and a multi tude of citizens, and oscorted up town. At ten ten o'clock they formed marched half a milo to a grovo where tho picnic was held. Horo an addross was delivered by Judgo Cheuo with and othor exercises wero had, but the coutiuuod showers induced them to havo the collation provided lor tho occasion served iu a hall In town, which was prepared for the occasion, and a bountiful feast it was. Towards evening tha Corvallis Department held n fine drill and iftorwards all met in the Hall whero pleasant greetings and speeches were exchanged between the gen tlemen of tho two Departments. After that came tho grand ball, where the assembled beauty and chivalry of Corvallis and else where had as good a time as sublunary diffi culties admit of. In coucluslon,we must give the unqualified assurauco of all our bovs who were so iortu natu as to participate, that they woro elegant ly treated bv their brethren at Albany, and that Corvallis has won a place In tholr ro gnrd which can never be effaced, aud extend ed to thorn kind creatines and generous hos pitality which tlioy will never forgot and shall always bo ready to return in kind. Married at Last. Wo publish elsowhero tho marriage notice of Rufus F. Simpson and Ivflss Elizabeth Millsap, of Fairfield, this county, who are the same parties who attempted to become man and wlfo ot Portland the other day and could not got a license, as we copied In full from a Portland paper, They came up on tho Grover Thursday, and yesterday made another effort to got a licenso, without suc cess until they fouud a young lady from Fairfield who rather reluctantly made the proper affidavit. They are now all right aud we wUh Mr. and Mrs. Simpson all success. Wo cannot learn anything against hiin. It seems that he workod ior Mr, Mill sap, and at the saino timo worked into the affections of Miss Elizabeth. More Facts- International Department of Agriculture.

It is thought they must be In tbe river. The ball of the boat has been drawn up on tbe bank and over hauled, How to Preserve Cider. Mr. William Graham, aged 75, but bale and vigorous, rode over from Yamhill tbe other day and in an interview with him bo gave us an aooount of bis success in making good cider.

C. said it was to pull teeth, Said S.: "I'll bet the cigars you can't pull a tooth out of my head with it." Now C. is not a betting man, but he incautiously said ho would tako the bet, and made S. mount a box and open his mouth for operations. What he discovered In that month wasn't teeth, for there was not a tooth left, some other dentist having iust extracted every ono to make ready for a now set.

A Man Drowned while Driving Logs. Mr. A, H. Heath, who has charge of the logging camps on the Sautlam, came down this morning and reports that Robert Logan, a recent arrivRl in our State from Wisconsin, where he was familiar with driving logs,was unfortunately drowned In the rapids of the river about seven miles above Smith's ferry Logan was very venturesome, and probably not used to such rapids as aro found on tho Sautlam. Mr. Heath told tho men to drofi their boat down with a rope, as the river wa- very high and the rapids poured through a canyon walled with rocks on either side. There weie tour men in the boat, aud three of them were timid and ai.xious to follow instructions, but Logan was confident of making the paisnuro ftticcestfully and laughed at their fears. Knowing that he was a skillful hand at rhor navigation they allowed him to run through, hut when in tho worst part of tho rspids tiie boat swamped and was sucked under and nil four were forced to strike out for their lives. Fortunately all were good swimmers and struck for tho shoie, but the swift current bore them down through tho rapids and through tha swift water below them, and when two were almost upcm tho point ot yielding up, exhausted, the butt made its appoarauco among thorn again, ami iu the ollurts to right it it was turned up?ido down. So exhausted wero two of them that thoy would have perished only that Pearce was able to assist them to climb upon it, mq McGalley and tho othor were saved, and could look out for tbe fate of Logan, who was not with them, but had struck for the shore and was cast back Into tho river by a strong curront he could not stem, which wore him out, so that chilled by tbe Ice cold water and wore out with effort be sank and was seen no more. He bad gone down stream perhaps a third of a mile, and be yond tbe lower camp before tbe final catas trophe. Logan had a mother hi Pennsylva nia, and brothers in Wisconsin, but no family of bis own. The work of driving tbe logs goes on well, and they were down as far as Stayton when beard from last. A boom is stretched across the mouth of tbe Santlam to restrain tbe advance logs and tbe company is not anxious to bave them come here until wo bave a lower staite of water, and tbe boom here can work to tbe best advantage. Gone to Piiiladki.piiia. Contenial Com missioner, Hon, A. J. Dufur, has gone to Philadelphia to attend tbe meeting of tbe National Centenial Board, and will do all be oan while gone for the benefit of Oregon, without other compensation than tbe mere payment of his traveling expenses by the State. Mr, Dufur is giving bis valuable time this year to the people of Oregon, and tbe least they can do Is to assist him to the best they are able, to secure a good representation at tbe great exposition of 1870. TbebodyofA.N.anhlier, of Mllwaukle, a man living there, was found drowned in tba Willamette, and tbe BMetin intimates tnat be wai probably murdered. CITIZENS MEETING SATURDAY EV ENINQ.

It was advisable to raisosufllciont funds here to employ a good band, to lay tho floor of the hall whero tho dancing was to bo hold in the evoning, and provldo for somo necessary painting, A committeo of throe, O.

Probably tho visitors will brlug baskets full to provldo for r. general collation, or may bo tho restaurant will pro vldo for all who do not brlug private supplies.
