He lived alone in a small cabin in tne wo mis near las work, un .vmiriiay, tlio 29th ins,, a lad named Johnny Lewis had occasion to visit Mr. (tuyaot, and when he opened tho door nf the cabin he saw the old man. apparently sitting on a high bcu.-li ansl leaning agiust the wall, hi hat drawn over his face. Tho lov addressed him but received no answer t " You are sleeping rather late," said Johnny. No response. He then en tered, shook the old man ai-d raised his hat. wuoreupoM' tne tact su.Meiily ilawned npon tho Iniy's senses that he was trying to awaken the dead. Upon suhscueut examination and a careful measurement of the distance between the tracks leav ing the cabiu, positive evidence was elic ited to the etrect that the boy lost uo time in conveying the sad intelligence to Mr. Jones who supposed that he had died from natural causes, having been subject to illness since he began work, Mr. Jones, however, informed the authorities of the (acts as he . understood thorn, and it was not deemed necessary, at the time, to hold au Imjuett but when parties w ut to bury the remains it was discovered that the body was partially suspended by a rope thrown over a beam of in caiiiu aim lasteueu around nis neck, lie evidently had committed suicide. Justice Hursh was notified, and he proceeded to sum moii a jury in this city. About 12 o'clock on the night of the 10th they found the cabiu and held au iun,uet. Following is the ver dict of the jury We, the jury in the above inquest, sitting to investigate the cause of the death of F. T. Guvant, find that the name of the deceased was E. T.

On Wednesday inoruiag, Mr, Albert Orton, a farmer living a short distanco below Juno tion, met his death almost instantly. Ho was harrowing with a team of four horsct abreast, says the F.ugeiio City Qunrtt, and bo ing somewhat blind allowed tho horses to ruu against a stump. Ho left the tvar nf tho har row aud went to tho he id of tho horsct, en dcavorinsto set them clear of thoobtructiom while In that position holding tho brails of tho two middlo horses, tho team from tome reason became unmanageable, and started to run. He held to their heads for somo lime but was at length knocked down and run over by thn horses and harrow, receiving wounds that caused his Instant death Ho wat either xtepped on by the horses or hit by an end of the harrow on his left breast over th heart, crushing his ribs and causing death. Tho harruw teeth inflicted two wounds, 0110 on his head, and the other just below the small of his back, but neither was of much conseiiuouco.

Flitse xt CmuiwKLU The Salem Statu man's correspondent at Cresswell under date of March 22d, tends the following) Our utual quiel village was yesterday thrown into a state of excitement by the burning of the large building bu It by J, Allen, for a store below and a hall ah ve, with a family resi dence adjoining in the rear. The building was purchased a short time ago by John Spray, and insured for aliout two-thirds of its cost. There wss but few goods on hand, and nearly all were saved by the cititens. aud to them belongs the credit of saving the buai nets portion of our town.

It is supposed the fire originated iu a defective ilue; there had )een a lecture in the hall iu the eveniug, and haviog a good fire in the stove is the only cause we can assign for the loss.

The expert makes "gilt edge" butter auy where across this broad continent. Even Alabama bat outsold Kew York in Boston market. Thit wat doue tome two year ago by a dairyman at Montgomery, by mean of ni skillful management in feed ing hit cow upon fresh clover in Winter. The butter came to market with the aroma of June upon it. It ateppod to the front, while New York' choice October butter took "a back scat." Our butter package, a at pres ent constructed, do not permit of the certain retention of the high flavor and anena of but ter, kept for even three months. The market call for a nearly fresh butter a possible, and this cause inferior fresh batter to outsell stored butter, that was much better when fresh. This partiality for fresh butter offer a strong inducement to Winter dairying! and the irreateat obstacle to the production of the best milk in Winter is the absence of green food at that season.

Ho mali tnined that American wheat could never bo raised at less than Hi a bushel, nor brought to tho Mersey at less th in Tm. Tho American farmer had tho advantage iu cheaper land, plowing costing ouly 0110 half what it diil in F.ngland, nnd manure, was needless. Ho, how over, cheered himself nnd his nudienco by reminding them of ililllcultica In America, which aro. unknown In I'ugland, such as higher wages, locusts, tho Hesiia'u fly, and want of water, and the faot that our toil It becoming steadily exhausted.

Tilt world't gold production lor 1877 wat l 13,000,000; for 1878,8110,000,000; for 1870, 9105,300,000. In each of those three years, the United States stood first in gold produc tion, Australia second, and Russia third. The South American States come next, but with a fall from Russia's annual $10,000,000 to tome $(1,000,000. Afrlta produce! nearly $2,000, 000 annually, and Auttria over 91,000,000; Mexico approaches $1,000,000, but no other country come near that amount. Of the rest of the world, Germany and Japan pro duce, each, over $200,000; Italy, $72,000, and Sweden from $2,000 to $0,000. The annual production of our own country is over $10,- 000,000. Russia exports annually only about S or 0 millions, and Australia exports to Ku rope IS millions annually, Kurope,therefore, reccivas a'mually, over and above gold arri vals from this country, tome 23 or 30 millions of dollar. At the amount annually required in Europe for manufactures anl the arts it es timated at $23,000,000, it is easy to teo how teniitive the European gold market mutt be to a gold efllux toward America. Is good gravy on your table an accident or rather the result of thought and paiuttak lug?

Just at the trtin was ap proaching the cattle chute near McMinuville he weut out on the platform of the cart and stood on the lowest step. Jutt as the train patted th chute be incautiously stuck hi head out, and was violently thrown from the car. The timber from th chute protruded iust far enough to catch him ou the head. He was picked np and carried to the depot Several utjly wound were discovered on the bead. The blood Sewed profusely from th cut, though it i aul that they are not very seri ous. They are only scalp wounds, and though bad enough, yet it was lucky for him to get off so well, and the indiscreet Mr. Saylor will in the future keep hi head in it proper place. IMPORTANT TO FAKUtiltSl Great Preparation for thn Uarveat of 1881 Tho Oaborno Trvlno Binder a Success). IT TKIUHPH3 uTnEW ZEALAHO. At tho warchouso of I). M. Orfborno & Co., on Pacific whaif, in this city, can be seen in practical operation thu latest improvement 111 harvesting machinery perfected by tho manu facturing firm above alliiih d to, w hM.o Im mense works are located at Auburn, Xuw Yoi k. This machine Is a successful combination t self-bind ng attachment for tiling both wiio and twino Tho machinery for each is entire ly distinct and separate, but the samo power is successfully applied to work cither1 the wiro or twine attachments, and while we wcro look ing on, tho chango was made, the twine at tachment taken off and the wire attachment put on nnd made to work, in exactly nino minutes, one minute being lost by a twist in tho wiro. 1). M. Oslxirne k Co. had their twine bind ers in successful operation last Summer, from Texas to Manitoba, but were unable to supply machines for this market, so their agent here, Mr. llurgo, sold wire binders with guaranteo to provide each customer with a twino bind ing attachment this season for the payment of $20 additional, and ho rtipivtts all tuch purchasers, desiring tho twine attachment, to givo notice as soon as possible, so that ho can Imvo a sufficient number of tho attachment hero to meet tho demand. Whllo the success of tho twino self-binder was iiniilialificd, vthcruver tried lait year, tho compam have made it still more peifcct and nro confident that thoy now offer tho world tho moat perfect ami rcliabln automatic liar-vos-cr ever known. Mr. lluruo has litcrnllv hundiuds of testimonials from tho best known farmers in Oregon, certifying to the excellence 01 tlieUstiornusulI-lilnilur witli wire nttacli- incut, nnd thcro is 110 toason to doubt that tho tw'nu bindrr is alto a success, whllo it obvi ates all the objection urged against the pres euco or wiro In both straw and grain, Tho Osliornc machine has also this advantage! tint it penults tlio use of either tw iue or w ire, nnd in cue speculators "make n comer" to put up thu prico of cither, tho farmer can uso the other. Hut tho present indication Is that, fur several riasou, tliu twino binder will lo must popular, and tho manufacturers claim that It is equally serviceable. In this connection it is Important to keep In mind that tho Osborho self-binder is thu only Inrvos'cr that can uso both wire and twine that bos thu ability to change from 0110 to tho other. Not only did tl 0 Odionu nolMiludcr win an unbroken chain of tilumphs,laat year, fa in every portion of the United States where It was used, but It has gouu to thu Southern hemisphere mid cairicd off tho palm of excel 1. nee tliero, 1 11 tin harvests which have just ended. The Auburn (N. Y.) Daily Adver tisei, of January 23th, contains nu account of a trial held in Kew Zealand January 22ud, which wat a test of nil l'ugllsh and American mndo harves-iiig machines, under the auspices of thu priueipal Agricultural Society of that country, ami iu which tho Osborne machine como out first. Tho agent thcro cabled tho fact to tho firm and added that tho four hun dred twlnu and wiro machine ho had tliero were all told. Those were the machines that won tho prire. From the tamo copy of tho Auburn Adver tiser wo cain somo idea of tho immense force used by the linn of I)..M. Osliorno & Co., who employ l.oou 111011 In tliclr siiops nt Auiiuru, hao immense works, driven by heavy iiowcr, nnd turn out a humlm handling iimchiui-i a da n Oiegou market in livSO, simply because they coulil noipruuje too midlines as last a needed elsewliera. wo letrn that heavy shin incuts have already been made from New York, by clipper aliitva coming around The Horn, direct to Portland, ami that tho first shipment it expected toarrivuln April. There Is a ileti-nniuatinn 011 the part (it the compmy to meet all demands here for twino or w In landers, or lioth, to tho fullest oxtunt, and when wn Uka into consideration the fact that w believer and wherever, in our Statu, I). M, Osborne 4 Co. have put their hat vesting ma chinery on exhibit iu competition with others, they have taken the lion's share of pritcs, wo need not doubt that their latest improvement it fully up to the requirement of thu times and to their hijjh reputation. In shipping their heavy ttocks around by sailing vetteli, direct to l'ortlaud, they are also doing all in their power to place touiiage at the command of our wheat growers, which is an important feature just at present. The machine we tpeak of can le teen and tested by all interest!, at the v-arehoute of Osborne & Co., ou Pacific dock, just South of Taylor street, on Front, Portland. Grain Can be Cleantd In th Field. Albany, Feb, 7, 1S3I, Kditor Willamette Farmeri I will give your an item on grain cleaning, as it is imiortaiit to the farmers to know how their grain it to be cleaned. I am receiving inquiries from all over the Statu about my grain separater, whether I build them to at tach to threshing machines. I expect to build a large number this reason, for that purpose. I built several lttt season, lioth for Oregon aud California, and they gavo the beat of sat isfaction. 1 look for the time when the farm er will clean his own grain at the thresher, at it does not attach any more expense to clean aud thresh at the samo time, so why not save that two cent a bushel that It paid to ware housemen focLJeauiug, and also fur tacking, when the workcan all be doue in the field! I will furnish a cleaner that will attach to the side of the thresher, but will take the J grain from the thresher and clean it without auy extra labor, and from the cleaner it can be sacked readv for market.
