'JWu In a liuliuf in our own ountry tliat
tlioro Li warcely any dronkeanerw in Kurope,
and thai this plaguo in peculiar to America.
I have road an inuch in American papers, and
in lettors o( toarieto, and 1 have hoard Amcr
icaan on this mdo assert that they have never
noon a drunken man Lo Kurope. 1 cab only nay
that thoso Americans who lave not wcn a
j;riat deal of inebriety horo have boon almost
rrorooolowily proBorvod from a sad and disgust
ing, bat very common rpoctaclc. There may
net bo an many persons found dead drank, as
tho saying is, here wi in America; bnt a inuth
larger proportion of thu people arc always in a
state of oomi-intoiicatfon, or it iniy bo said,
. never quite Sober. Hot it is hard to under,
stand how any otio can have lived in Kurope
for oven a short time and not have seen men
dead drank. 1 lwvo socu thorn in I"ari too
drunk to keep thoir feet, and while in Frank
fort on the main, Inst wook, 1 saw iff tho irpaoe
of five minnlM two men carried to the lock-up
90 hoIploMly intosicatod that they oould not
lift a hand. Tho manifestation of drnnkeunons
. in Karopca and America is very different,
aud the infroqnency of crimes arising from in
tosioation horn, Li ono reason why it is thought
there is less of tho vieo on this than the other
side of tho Atlantic Ho tWotiKhly have aflis
of nppruiHion nnd rigid subjection to law trained
tho European nature that in momenta of tnaU
duet oiullunont ho never forgets tho terror of
law. Thin, I think, is not inconsistent with
tho fact that a larpi proportion of our criminal
population is of foreign birth. The iiiddm
transition to u new country the elevation to
oitivtonship no utterly confounds hto iiiijKjrtc-d
Ueasof political and social relations that the
reoiiil of ays of dooputiam falls as it wore, upon
tho liberator.

This morning, at an carry hou'.the citizens in
tho ricinity of Fisher's livery stable, on Oonv
ncrdal street, were startled by tho intelligence
that in this quiet and pcaeefnl port of our city,
last night, a man had wait n bnllet through h's
bead, and thns put an uid to bli existence.
Wo hastened to tho scene of excitement, and
foand the deceased lying flat on his back, with a
wound jost below tho right temple, where tho
bullet that did the fatol deed had entered, com
ing out at tbo left ear. Tho right hand lay npon
hifl breast, and besido him lay a revolver, imp
poicd to Jiavo been tho ono that sent tho piete
of lead on its mission of dnatli. Upon inquiry
wo gathered the following facts:
Tho decked, B. If. Zimmerman, camo to
this city from Hhcnld's rtation, and er.gaywl
board at tho Cliomekc-ta hotel, in the evening
he went to his room, but abont 10X10 r. m
came down stairs and went out npon the street'
This appears to have beta tho latt any one saw
of him. This morning, about 6 o'clock ns
James Barker who rooms in the old honeo just
south of the hotel, started out of Urn back dcr
o gut a irail of water from the water plug, in
the rear of Gaines Fisher's stable, saw the dead
man lying in the rear of thu honsc. Ho told
tho Iktvs at tho stable what ho hod recn, and
immediately Coronor Urown was notiGcd, who
Bummonodnnd empaneled a jnry, andaninqaest
wai hthl over tho lxdy.
Dciwod was well dressed and had one
twenty, and ono ton dollar gold piece, together
with somo silver chanpo in his pocket, making
in nil something over thirty-six dollars. Noth
ing was fimrid upon his person from which nny
cine could be gainxl for tho cause of the com
mission of thu raih act, which must have token
place about 11 o'clock last night, as several
persom living in thu neighborhood btard tho
report of a pistol nt nlxmt that honr.

Ist evening the northern bound train had a
narrow escape from being thrown from bridge
No. 9 to the bottom, a distance of thiry feet.
Yesterday afternoon Frank Sprognc, of Marsh
field, a few miles north of Oregon City while
out walking discovered bridgo No. 9 near that
place to be on fire about the middle. Ho lost
no time in running to a house, getting n bucket
and wator and extinguishing tho flames. This
was not done however until after tho end of tho
tic bad been burned off so that tho raili were
unsupported, aud had tho train coma along
would huvo ben hurled down into tho ravine.
Thu young man knowing tho crcnins tram
would boou be there, run as speedily ns possible
up the road. Ha hail not gone but a short di
tanco when ho heard train coming, and dis
playing a rod flag which he hurriodly had pro
cured brought it to o halt aud told them of the
danger. Hands were soon at work, and after
a delay of about two houw it had been repaired
snfliciently to allow tho train to pass over.
Some of the more timid pcrfcred to walk over,
which they did, and were picked np. A purse
of money amounting to about rif'een dollars,
was raised nmong tho pawengers, but tho boy
refused to receive it. It wai decided to pro
curonhanksomoly engraved medal, appropriately
inscribed aud forward it to him ai n testimonial
of the gratitudo of tho passengers.

WOODIIUHN Aug. 80, 1878
Mil. EniTinc-Tliis pluco has boon of
such importance that I think It deserves
particular mention. Wo have shipped
up to thu present time, this month, fully
three cur loads or grain to Portland. I
think we have done more bnlne."s in the
lino of sending grain than any four sta
tlonson the road. Our receipts have been
over thirty wagon loads per dny. Our
largest warehouse Is full to its lastextent,
and we have been obliged to make en
gagements to store in Portland. There
will not bo over two thirds ad much
wheat for oxpirt from this section as
there was last year, but tho quality is far
sujwrlor to that of any previous year: in
reality It could not be any better. Not
withstanding that the average of the oat
crop, Is more than hist year, thu surplus
from about here will not be mora than
half that of last yesr. Tho unusual dry
mouth with us hits not injured tbo qual
ity, but in this neighborhood tbo yield
or oats will not be more than 26 bushels
to tlio acre and Unit of wheat has been
twenty-two bushuls. A.Matiiiot
Has n man a right to kill himself?
Judgu Smith of New York says lie has.
In a recent case ho told Henry Daniels,
who was arrested for felonious assault,
that hu hail a perfect right to kill him
self, but hu had no right to attempt thu
life of any ono else. A lawyer writing to
a Sow York p.ier on thu subject says:
"A schoolboy oould scarcely display s.i
complete ignorance ef law as thu above.
Noiiorson has a riirht to take his or her
own life; on the contrary, tbu attempt to
take it is a felony punishable by a term
of years in States orison. J f such nerson
siueeisls iu taking iris or her lire, of
course uopuuisumcut cm men tie mulct
ed; but any person who kuowiugly ald
si or astlstetl such suicide iu taking his
orherowh life, Is by common law guilty
of murder, and can be punished accord
ingly." The women of New York have undertaken
the herculean task of reforming tho voters of
ttiat MUte. "lAiitco was served at the (tolls in
