Lost Friday morning, saysjTIie Daltejj Timet, about 8 o'clock, a shooting affray bo-' curred seven miles east of Shcrers's bridge in Wasco county, in which Mr. A. T. Boynton received a dangerous, if not a fatal wound, from a pistol in the hands of his brother-in-law, Mr. 1. N. Moore. Last Soturday Mr. Moore came in town, and surrendered himself to the authorities. Sheriff Storrs, having no warrant in his hands, let him e,o on his own recognizance. Last Monday wo interviewed Mr. Moore, who is a young man 25 years of age, and fiom hiin Icarii tho following partic ulars! There has been a feud between tho parties for over a year past, and of lato Mr. Moore had kept out of Koyntou's way, and bad not changed words with him. They have had several quarrels before, which Mr. Mooro had shunned as far as possible. On tho morning the unfortunate event happened, Mr. M. was driving a team attached to a wagon, and sit ting on tho forward bolster. He had started from his father's house, and proceeded up the road toward the residence of Mr. Boynton, when he was OVertakon by tho latter, armed with a spado handle. He approached Moore, and said: "You d d Bon of a b h, I gucs I will settle with you this morning." Moore told him to go back fonr or five times, aud then nulled the team to the right ot the road to sot out of tho way. Boynton ran around on the other side to head him off, and came toward him, Moore all the time telling him to go back. When Boynton got close to Moore, within striking distance, with the club raised the latter pulled a "British bulldog" pistol U calibre and fired, tho ball enter ing about two inches' below Boynton's breast bone, ranging to tho- right, passing over the cartilago of tbe ribs, and then deflecting dow nward and inwards to the abdomen. He fell to his knees after being shot, and then rose and said, "let me bo home" about a mile distant. Mooro told him to go to tho house; that tho folks would caro for hiin. He then ran into the house and Moore and his father went to his residence and brought his wife to their house. Mr. Buynton gives a far different phase of the occurrence, and from parties who has con yersed with him, wa learn the following as his version or tho aad event. Mr. B. on the morning of Friday last, was going to his residence, aud being somewhat lame, jumped upon the wagon of Mr. Mooro to ride. Mr, Moore, as soon as ho got on, told him to get otf, or he would shoot him. At this Boynton got off, and stood in the road. Mr. Mooro's horses got scared and ran around and came back facing Boynton. Mooro again told him to go back to tho hous?, or he would shoot him; that hisfather wanted to see him. At this Mr. Boynton told bim he was to cowardly to shoot, and thenj Mooro fired, the ball striking him as described. Mooro told him again to go to the bouse or ho would shoot him again. At this Boynton went back to the house as rapidly as ho could in his wounded condition. The commencement of the trouble between the parties was over a year ago, before Mr. Boynton married the sister of Moore, the lat ter objecting strongly to the match. Mr. Mooro had told his Bon a few days before that the quarreling between him and Boynton had to stop, or else one of the parties should leave. He did not think at the time that it would havo this tragical ending, but was fear ful that something serious might happen. Dr. Richardson returned Sunday night from an examination of the wounded man, aud thinks that his iniuries will terminate fatally. Mr. Boynton is about 27 years of age, and has been married about a year, ills who nas an infant about four weeks old. Pbivatb Jail, The build ing in course of construction on Second street between Alder and Washington for the Chinese, are cells, in which. w are informed, are to be incarcerated all mongolian malefactors whoso crimes are of a character not punishable by our laws.

If this be true, the practice should bo broken up by our police at once, and the Chinese who are having tbe cells built in the Second street house stopped.

News comes' from Union county of the death of one of the oldest pioneers of Oregon, Hon. Joseph, Gale, who died at Eaglo Valley in that county on tho 13th inst. after a short but painful illness. Deceased came here be fore the days of early emigration across the plains, almost forty-seven years ago. In the year 1834 six men came out with Capt. Nathanial Wyeth to establish a trading post, who remained after he had sold out his goods to the Hudson Bay Company, the same year Rev. Jason Lee and other missionaries of the M. E. Church crossed tho plains iu Wycth's company; there was also a sailor saved from a wreck; an English sailor also crossed the mountains; the brig Maryland, Capt. John H. Couch, brought several men, and a party came overland from California under tho guidance of Ewing Young, who was a notable charac ter in early days. With this last company came Joseph Gale, the subject of our Bkotch, who seems to nave ocen one oi me very ear liest of those who were neither missionaries or connected with the Hudson Bay Company, who became permaennt citizens ot Uregon, Mr. Galo was undoubtedly one of those who petitioned Congress in 1840 to establish a territorial. gdve 'r.Crnt for Oregoij. We Cud honorable mention of him in proceedings'ot early settlers. About 1841 the enterprise of building a schooner of forty tons burden was successfully accomplished under great diffi culties, and was assisted by Capt. Wilkes, of the Exploring Expedition, who furnished ma terials for rigging it in part. When com pleted, the vessel made voyages to San Fran cisco, or Yerba Buena then called under comniand of Capt. Gale, which confirms the belief that he was a sea-faring man, and as such originally visited this coast. After returning from California with his vessel, which was traded there for a largo bond of cattle. Mr. Gale was elected by the settlers in 1843, with Alanson Beers and David Hill, an executive committee under a provisional government, and this fact has caused the report that he was ono of tho early governors of Oregon. That committee wielded the executive power and the title was not really misplaced. So it appears that Joseph Gale had an honored name in early times, was in fact one of the very earliest to reach this reL'ion. and no doubt assisted in its development with earnest efforts. He leaves few, it any, ot the band who met here in 1834, to lament him The fact is strongly impressed upon us that very soon the last of the early pioneers will havo met in the here after to renew there thu memories of those by-gono days. HI Kit II AUU. The following particulars of a mo.t horriblo affair which happened at Roseburg, have beeii furnished us by a gentleman of that city. Sumo two years since a family of emigrants named Taylor arrived at Roseburg on their way ovcrl.uid from California to Washington Territory. They encamped in a shed in the outskirts of that town en the property of Mr. F. llushcy and there Mrs. Taylor was de livered of a child, which only lived a few hours, and the mother herself died before morning and was buried the next day. Mr. Taylor proceeded on Ins journey and finally located in Eastern Washini;tn,and some time ago returned to Roseburg to have tho body of his wife exhumed in order that he init'ht havo it buried near w here he resided. When the coffin had been removed from the grave it was determinid to open it, when a most start ling and horrible discovery was made. The bandage which held tho hands in place had been broken and the body was turned oyer in its place and one hand was clutched in the hair, showing plainly that the unfortunate a oman had been buried before death had taken place. Language fails to express the grief and anguish of the husband and the hor ror of the spectators at the dreadful discovery, ami the cottin was quickly cioscd and the sub ject was kept as quiet as possible. Wast a Sawuili The North River Col ony, that lately settled on North river, at the head of hhoalwater bay,says tho Aiturmn, have sent an agent to Portland to procure ma terial for a sawmill. A good mill is ntcded the most f anything by the settlers theie, as lumber is hard to get for any purpose. Not so large a number of settlers entered the re gion as was anticipated or desired, but the outlook for the colony is good, and its prof pects lor another jear lavorabie. If you send in a new subscriber you get four mouths credit on your own subscrip tion; for two new subscribers you get eight mocths, and for three new names a whole year.

Lew is Sturtevant, must bo deter mined finally by experience, and it ia only to bo hoped that the extravagant i dens concern ing the system may not cause disappointment and bring about a reaction as complcto as is the present enthushsm. That it has applica tions seems reasonably certain; that tno sys tem cannot fulfill what has been inconsider ately claimed, for it seems equally certain. It will be somo time, however, before the ques tion can bo definitely settled, as the conditions under which it is being tried arc, in tho main, such ns shall throw doubt upon testimony, I do not., accuse tho experimenting parties of willlul deception, but I have seen enough to know that tho condition of mind of many of these parties is such that they cannot recog nize, failure, cannot sco facts, and are even ready to cx:use and apologize for occasional failures. It is of interest to note that dry fodder, well prescrvitd, is as digestive as is the same fodder in a green state. Next, that in the ensilage process of preserving green fodder there is Joss ol food material through tho fermentation. The careful investigation of Goessman. given to the public last Winter, shows clearly that while the ensilage process adds somewhat to tho digestibility of the celular matter, there is a higher rata of unavoidable wasto of feeding value than in any other current mode of pre serving fodder. The ailo corn fodder shows, in every case I have seen, the prcsenco of varij; oun aiconouc irvuueis iuiu viuiuus vwiAf.19 acids. , ;Aft - What effect can bo expected, from1 feeding ensilage? Of one thing I have hod personal cognizance. Sheep and cattle, after once learning how, show the greatest eagerness for it. As fed, however, it has been generally used to supplement other foods, and its com parative aluo in feeding I have not seen sttted as the result of any careful experiment. havo been told that in one case, certainly, where it constituted tbe whole food of some Jersey cows, tho milk soon reached a statu in which it would throw up no cream. This seems a reasonable result from feeding an acid product. Iu cases within my knowledgo, where sour food has been fed, in part, to milch cows, there has been a deterioration iu the quality of tho milk. What now we, want to know is tho actual cost, not assumed cost, of preparing and fill ing silos, and tho comparative valuo of tho material ensilages lor leeding, as wen as P what class of stock it can bo fed to most prof itably, Tbe Secret of Longevity. The means known, so far, of pioinoting longevity, havo been usually concentrated iu short, pithy sayings, ae, "Keep your head cool and your feet warm," "Work much and eat little, etc., just as if tho whole science of human life could ou summed up and brought out in a few words, while its greatest princi ples were kept out of sight. Ono of thu best of these sayings is given by an Italian, iu his ono bundled and sixteenth year, who, being axked tho means of his living so long, replied with that impiovisation for which his country is rcmaikable : When hungry, ol tho best I eat, And dry aud warm I keep my feet; I screen my bead from sun and rain. Anil let few cares perplex my brain. Tho following is about tho best theory of the matter. Every man is born with a certain stock of vitality, which stock cannot bo in creased, but may bo husbanded. With this stock ho may live fast or slow may live ex tensively or intensively may draw his littlo amount of life over a largo spuco, or narinw it into a conceutratcil one; but when his st"CK is exhausted ho has no more. Ho who lives extensively, who drinks pure water, avoids all inflammatory diseases, exorcism sulli ciently, but not too luboiionsly, indulges no exhausting passions, feeds 011 no exciting ma Urial, pursues no debilitating ph-asusru, avoids all laborious and piotracted study, preserves an easy mind, and thus linsbuiuls his quantum of vitality, will live considerably longer than he otherwise would do, because ho lives slow; while he, on the other hand, who lives intms.voly, who beverages himself on liquors and wines, exposes himself to in flammatory diseases, or causes that produce them, labors beyond his strength: visits excit ing scenes and indulges exhausting passions, lives on stimulating and hi),hlyseaionvd food, is always debilitated by his pleasures. Cultivate Seme Spinach. A person may go into half a dozen country gardens where every kind of easy growjng, wholesome, necessary and disirablu vegctu bles ought to bu grown, and not sou a bed of spinach, incomparably thu best of everything coming under the head of "greens." How often wo seo Irfitli women and iin-n scratching along old worm-fence corners, and the edges of woods where leives havo collected, for the young shoots of tho "poke," to Iw used as greens, and how greatly it is enjoyed at a season when it is difficult to get fresh young vegetables; and yet how much inferior it is to tho garden spinach, which can Iw grown iroiu fcuven to eight months in the year, A bl can be so n as early in tho Spring as tho ground can he worked, and by sowing at intervals through thu season a dish of it can bu had on the table whenever it may bo desired, The last crop to be used tally in th Spring be fore it cin lo grown as a Spring crop, and which will begin to grow the moment the frost is out of thu ground, should be sown say tho beginning of October, and when freezing weather comes it should bn lightly coveted with straw and a few bean poles laid ujiou tho straw to pro cut tho wind from blow ing it away, 'i he illoomsdaln spinach, which is a new and improved variety, ia preferable to any other variety we hve grown. Herman Untit TtUyrapii. ' rT 2 fill ri,. 1 NO. 46. Fleck a, or "White Caps," In Cream. . Flecks aie generally supposed to bo piece of dried cream, and possibly sometimes they may be, but "usually they are not, for occa sionally!! they exist inmilk before any cream risen, and sometimes are mingled with butter made by processes of cold setting in which tho cream remains soft, no part of it being dried at all. They seldom appear, however, in but ter mado by cold Betting; they are mostly found in butter mado in dairies, where tho milk ii set without any other cooling than that of tho air in tho room where tho milk stands. For tho most part they arc developed in milk after it comos fiom tho cow. By quickly cooling milk to a low degree, change is so much arrested that they cannot develop ed. They con only form within certain limits of temperature, and, when they jlo, are likely to appear as plentifully in the milk ns in the cream, and often more so, which i" evidence adverse to their being originated from dried cream. In milk which is in a perfectly nor mal condition they never appear. Thry al ways occur in milk, which is inoro or less faulty. They arc very apt to accompany au inflamed stato of the udder, and seldom or never appear without it. When milk is all tight, tho surface of tho cream may bo expos ed to currents of dry nir until it becomes quite dry and hard, without showing any indication of "while caps" ns they are sometimes called. The dried cream, when mixed with tho rest and well stirred up, soon becomes soft, and churns the same as the rest. But when milk, which is a littlo feverish, or in some other way faulty, is thus oxposed to thu air without be ing first well cooled, flecks will bo pretty sure ta.-JSbow themselves in numbers proportioned ttthToxposuro. Whenever flecks are liable to be developed, there can, with tho aid of a microscope, be seen in the milk small specks of solid matter with fragmentary shapes which form the nucleus of tho flecks. When such milk is set in a glass vessel and kept without much cooling, these specks can bo seen tb en large by the coagulation and adhesion of tho milk in contact-with thorn. Sooner or later they swell from gas forming vitluii them, and, becoming lighter than tho milk, riso toward the surface, and more or less of them becomo imbedilsd in the soft cream. When they form in tho milk they are almost wholly comioscd of curd, but w hen formed in the cream they aro very rich in (.ream, having as much, aud perhaps more, cream in their composition as curd. American Ayricultm int. Moltko's Cool Bead. Tho reasons of Moltke's omariug success aro not far to sock. It has been suggested that tho military art may ho no profound mystery, that "its principles aro the principles of plain good sense, aud that a quick eye, a cool head and a stout heart will do more to make a Gen eral than all tho diagrams of Jomini." These considerations do not iiuitc exhaust thu sub ject; but there is no doubt that tho above natural qualifications, combined "itb tho seri ous study of tactics, are pretty certain to pro duce a great Captain, fortune moderately fav oring hiin; and Molt leu hts at least taken cam that fortunu should as raicly ns possible bo against him. "From Saarhruck to Sedan," it was nam 01 him, "be lolt nothing to chanco. According to a story which explains much, a friend of Moltkn once encountered him on the utreotB of Beiliu, on a memorablo morniug in tho second half of July, 1870. The French ultimatum had just beiu rcei ived, and tho (licnd, after a hikty greeting, was moving on. "Whither away so fast!" asked Mr.ltk. "Oh, I know you must bo busy," "Not at all. Everything is ready," And German-wise, tho famous strategist carried off his companion to a cafe, to talk philosophy over 11 glass of Bavarian beer. At Veraillis tho French wondered to scu him so often "doing nothing," as it appeared to tht-ni. Evening after even ing ha strolled into thu rcstaiiiant hu bad cho sen as leisurely as any rich young officer iu a crack cavalry regiment, and staid as long at tabln as others.
