Town Talk. With m. Kntfa- E. Parry, a 'longshotcman, secured tho arrtetof John McQuillan this morning pon a charge of assaulting him with a knife. Tho affray occurred near tho Oregon Hotel on Saturday morning and grow out of n disputo about york. Parry Kiiiil that McQuillan attacked him with foul language- and begun to crowd him, and when ho shoved hi.) assailant ofl' McQuillan struck ut him with knife. Tho accused said that Parry begun tho row by abusing him for going to work at under wage-) and that thoy camu to gether in conflict. Parry exhibited a near on his check but did not know whether it was mado with a knife or not, and in view of that fact tho complaint was changed to assault and battery, to which McQuillan plead guilty. Uo was a 'longshoreman, and lxth had families, i Can Such Things Ho ? A short timo since, It. 1.. .Stone, of this city,' rented a ono-story framo houso which ho owns in Tibbctt'.s itdtli. lion to Rut Portland to a party by tho namo of S. Simon. Sub."ciuuntly ho vamosed, all tho doors and windows of tho building becoming missing about tho same timo, and ho rented tho placo to another party, whoso numu wo coidd not Irani Tho last occupant rfurnished tho houso with now windows but had no sooner dono so than ho also disappeared. Simultaneously with tho hitter's departure, tho windows not only disappeared but also tho brick chimney, which luvl been deliberately torn down and tho brick carried ofl'. Kast Portland meanness has certainly descended to a very low ebb when a fow second-hand bricks becomes tho object of attack. It is suggested that a watch kept over tho premises might result in tho arrest of tko thief, who may return for chimney draft. A Bough mail Tumble On tho basa ball grounds in East Port land yesterday afternoon a quarrel oc curred botwocn Charles Drcnan and Win, Nolan, arising out of tho losing by tho latter of it-breastpin. Drouaii had found tho articlo in question, but, think ing to play a joko on his acquaintance, retained it during tho latter n inquiries for tho same Nolan ceased his search by calling tho man who might havn it n namo which did not reflect much credit on his character. For u while they had it "hot mid heavy," when Drcnan, apparently getting tho worst of it, seizod u babuball bat, with which ho commenced belaboring his on iiottcnt. Nolan finally succeeded in wresting tho bat from bin grasp, when ho drew a knife, and would certainly liava usod it on Nolan had not tho hit ter suddenly remembered that discretion was tho hotter part of valor and retired from tho contest. Both putties wcra pretty badly marked, and will not bo in fighting condition for somodays. The Hagor Murder. Tho Real Mardarors Discovered Throe Hen Implicated in tho Affair Xionl Graioheu Ono of Them- Wo hear n rumor that corned in au thentic sliapo to us, that tho authorities aro at last on track of tho real inudcrera of Mrs. Hager, near Oregon City. A man named King, an ex-convict, is now under arrett, and ho confesses to a knowledge- of tho murder, but charges tho commission of tho crimo upon anotlicr ox-convict. Steps are taken to secure this man, who is now in this vicinity. It is believed that tho track has at last boen found that will lead to the convic tion of tho leal peqietrutors of this most horrible crime. Tho man King has evidently told tho truth in part, if not entirely, and it seems also that tho German now under arrest, Louis Graichen, was present when tho act was committed. If the story of King hsu any reliability at all, it is probablo tbat tho three meu were intor ostod in the commission of tho dreadful deed. It may bo surmised that tho ox oonvicU met tho man Graichen, who it jms was on intimate terms with tho Uagars, and they must have learned from him tho fact that tho Hagars were lately in receipt of a largo amount of money, and took their cue from his in formation. We may expect to hear of the other ex-oouvict's arrest in a fow days, as ho can hardly escape. It is said that tho shirt collar found on tho premises after tho deed, was torn from tho person of tho man of whom tho officers of justice aro now in pursuit. Hied Near Halsay, of diphtheria, March l&tb, (leo. T. Gray, son of F. M. and Miry A., Gray, aged 1C isonUiJ. AlhM, K.itor Willametto Farmers Your correspondent J. 1!. M, is right about our need of economy in uso if ttraw as manure for worn-out lauds. It is suicidal to tako crop after crop from our land and return nothing to rcplaco tho lots, or evon partially retain it by tho uso of rotted straw. If a man must hum his straw, let it bo scattered over his poorest spots of land, thus tho ashes which am invaluablo fertilizers, will clinch sucli spots wonderfully. This entails sosio work, yet It will pay better than to hurn all straw in ono pile. Tho only objection to this would bo tho scattering of wild oats and other seeds, thereby making land mora foul. In that case, itwera better left to rot in a pilo if not all required at tho bam or stable. As for ashes as a fertilizer whothcr of wood or straw, anyono can sco their effect on either new or old ground. I havo newly grubbed hill land with its first crop of white wheat now on it, and wherever ash heaps wcro scat tered, tlicro tho plant lias spread far more and looks much stronger and infinitely better In every way than elsewhere. Lost harvest I threshed on the poorest spot of land I had and when dono hauling straw fired tho icinainiug chaff. night tlicro is my best wheat! It stood tho frost better and by observations last summer it will stand drought much better. If sumo scientific farmer can toll mo what is tho main chemical ingredient of such ashus, so wonderful as a fertilizer, alio whero nml at what 'coit obtainable, ho will confer a favor. Ashes in sulllcicut (luautitics aro to bo obtained, but if it were Ktash or somo other chemicals, they may pay to buy, as thoy do in Kuroitoand tho Hastcm States, why not hero? Ity inserting this in your valuablu paper you will confer a favor ou a subscriber and u all-wisher. I'iiusnix.
