niuht of each week. We wish the mem

Fine Bacon.
Many of our readers who last winter
purchased fine bacon of Mr. Jacob Bit

patting up a large supply. He, will pickle
and smoke in his usual good style, the
sides, shoulders and hams of over one
hind red fine Logs this year.
Singular Coincidence.
On the Cth of the present month Mrs.

. The boy is the ninth child born to Mr.

on Tuesday of the week. The remaining
eight children were bora on a Monday.
Thanksgiving Day.
As wiil be seen the Governor has set
apart the 28th day of this month as a day
oi general thanksgiving. Oregon this year

Tin Wedding
Th re was a happy gathering of warm
hearted friends ou Tuesday evening. The
day named was the tenth anniversary of
the wedding of the Rev. J. R. N. Bell and
bis charming lady. The call was a com
plete surprise to the happy couple, and, as"
usual, the presents various. Of course, Mr
Bell and lady fee grateful to those who so
kindly remembered them.
Fine Run of Salmon.
Any one at the dam, south of town, on
Monday evening last, might Lave wit
nessed, in a Bingle hour, at least two hnq
drej salmon jumping over the dam into
the pond above. The salmon making the
leap were immediately followed a trout or
two, as robbers in quest ot salmon spawn.
The run of salmon in the South Umpqaa,
this season, is considered unusually fine.
Will Contest itIs It Legal ?
Parties interested propose contesting the
late city election held at Oakland. . There
are doubts as to the legality of the eleei
tion held, aud as to whether the provisions
of the incorporating Act has been com
plied with. Judge Willis hat been em
ployed on the side of the contestants, and
Hn. Lafayette Lane on the side of- the
defendants. If the matter is pushed there
will be some interesting arguments made,
as two of oar ablest lawyers are engaged
In the controversy.
Went by Drain's. .
Monday morning eight sacks of mail
matter for Coos county, left this place for
its destination via Drain's station. It had
accumulated in the Roseburg omce.through
the failure of the mail contractor on the
order roue-Huotley to fulfil his contracts,
aud ry th.e engaged in his service. We
appose the mail will thus be carried until
; a new contact is made; in the meantime
the people of Douvlae and Coos counties
will be sufferers, into whose hands it
would not be afe for Huntley to trust him
eelf. .
Question of Construction.
" Cmpua Ferry" asks a question If a
man living in one district and owning
property in another district pays all his
road taxes In the district in which he lives?
The question is one of construction of law,
but able lawyers express the opinion that
road taxes should be paid ia the district
in which the property is located. The
benefits o protect! n are afforded all the
property in a district, and its value is en-.
hanced by improvements made by the tax
ation ot other property. It is plain that
all property should pay road taxes ia the
district ia which it is located. There has
been considerable litigation on this sub
ject, but good lawyers hold the above is
just.
VIOLATING THE LAW.
Several days ago a complaint was filed
against certain parties, for catting timber
for milling pjrposeson Government lands,
with the United States District Attorney,
Hon. Rafus Mallory. The parties hus vio
lating the law were engaged in cutting
timber near Pat tei son's mill, on the North
Umpqua- If we have the story right, the
District Attorne at once notified the! par
ties of the effense they were committing.by
Fending an officer, deputized for the pur
pose, to the scene of actiot ; and the result
was, there was a geueral scampering down
of teamsters, teams and wood "choppers.
Now, tLere is the question presenting itself
to many of those engaged in the work.who
will be called to Portland firet to answer.
The trees felled and logs cut were not for
Patterson's mill, but t'-ra mill lower down
the river; and the Informer is a ie-tueBt in
the neighborhood of the parties accused. It
we temember rijrhtlv.the lightest pun
ishment or such off. nse is, fine of from
one hundred to one thousand dollars, and
the highest, b. th fine aud imprisonment.
Whether there will be anything further
done by the Authorities than what has
already been accomplished we are unable
to say.
P. S Since the above was put in type
w ; learn a compr-uiise has been effected
by the loggers depositing at the land office
in this city the amount necessary for the
purchase of the section of land on which
they were at work, s owing by this act
that it was not their intention to wrong
the Government.
Worth Twice the Sum.
We have just received a copy of The
Chicago Ledger, the leading family paper
of the west, which is now entering upon
its seventh volume. The Ledger is a forty
eight column weekly, printed in bold,
plain type, easily to be read by young
and old, and is filled with choice stories,
and reading matter .f interest to every
household. This excellent journal is suf -plied
to subscribers, postage paid, for the
low price of $1 50 per kht. In order to
increr.se its present large list of readers,
the publishers of t. e Ledger have made a
new contract for several thousand fine
Nickel-piated English Steel-barreland-Cylinder
Seven.Shut Revolvers 22 cali
ber which they propose to distribute to
their subscribers at cost, ai d therefore of
fer one of thei-e elegjui weapors of defense
and The Ledger for one year tor $3 00.
The revolver will be sent by mail, postage
paid, on receipt of the price. They have
already distributed 3,000 revolvers and are
mailing hundreds daily. Now is the best
time to.get firtclans revolver and the best
paper in the country for less than half the
actual worth ot either. Three sample cop
ies will be sent to any address tor ten cts.
Address The Ledger, Chicago, 111.
"A Sure Sign."
Two fat bears were killed on Middle
creek, the other day. They were unsually
large, and were roamiDg through the
timb. rat the time the dogs en ployed by
the hunter found them. There is nothing
in the incident worthy of notice, further
than the ''oldest inhabitant" emphatically
declares that so lone as the bear does not
"hole up," there is no danger of bad weath
er, and that when they are traveling about
so late in the Fall there is nothing to fear
so far as a hard Winter is concerned. A
bear roaming the woods in November, is a
sure sign with old hunters, wo are told,
that there is to be no cold weather during
the month.ot December, Jauuaiy and Feb
ruary. Tellurinm Mine.
As the work on the tunnel of the Telluri
um mine advances, the interest increases
among the shareholders of the mine. The
work is being performed by a set of as good
miners as has been brought together any
where in this country, consequently the
progress is . rapid. They expect to reach
the ledge soon. The directors Lave deed
ed to put up a crushing miil on the work
immediately. TheSut. of the mine hao
negotiated for a mill. The election of offl
cers passed off quietly; all of the old officers
were re-elected. Harmony prevails am ng
the c lunsal rs of the c m;any. and all feel
confident of exm realizing a reward for
their toiIs.
Sunday School Concert
i
A concert will be given by the members
of the Presbyterian Sunday School on the
evening of Thanksgiving Day; and if the
concert shall prove satisfactory to those
who attend it, it will be repeated on the
evening following Thanktgiving. Mr.
Leviuson will have charge of the instru
mental music, Mr. J. W. Strange of the
vocal music, Mr. Hursh of the literary, and
Mr. Da scorn b of the wax figures. The
principal instrumental and vocal musicians
in the c'ty have kindly volunteered their
services, an t it is expected the concert will
be all that is asked for it. We hope it
may be a .grand success in every panicu
lar.
Church Revival.
The revival which has been ii progress
a couple of weeks at Rev. Ball's church,
was transferred to Rev. Starr's church on
Thursday evening, where it will be con
tinue.! so long as it is thought the inter
ests of religion may be promoted thereby.
The ministers in charge have workea zeal
ou ly for the caune from the beginning,
and. as a re-ult .ratifying to themselves
and the church, have made thirty converts
since conference) closed.
Lively Times.

Delicate Surgical Operation.
Dr. Aiken, of Jacksonville, one day last
week performed a hair-lip incision in the
case of Miss Alice Jordau of Williams creek,
Jackson county. The upper lio and roof of
the mouth were entirely cleft from tier
birth." The Doctor succeeded in stitching
the parts together after excoriating the
contiguous surfaces, and last Wednesday
the stitches were cut and the wound found
completely healed. The operation was
perfectly successful.
The New Mill.
Any one who visits the new mill on the
Umpqua south of this city, will be sarpiis
ei at the great amount of permanent work
being done, and the extent of the opera
tions so tar. There is good work showing
all along the line, and the mill proprietors
give evidence of their capacity as thorough
business men iu everything they do. Sue
Cess to them.

INTEUESTINODECISION.
The Portland rtautard ofovember lStb
has the following item : Some time sinfce
a disturbance occurred in the famous Roos
ter Rock settlement between a man named
Wm. H. Allison and Charles Littlepage.
The former assaulted the latter with a rifia
and came near sending him across the river .
Ia due time the matter was brought before ;
the grand jury, aud an 'ndictiuent ot as-
sault ilh a dangerous weapon fiund '
against Allison, but the assaulted was writ
ten Charles Little Page. Yesterday the
case was called before Judge Bellinger, and
nearly 40 witnesses had been summoned.
The defense engayred Mr, Edward Menden
hall as counsel, who took the indictment,
read it over, and discovered the mis ake at
once. The jury ws in ther;-eat8 and the
first witness called, who swore that the per
son Rtv-aul'ed was Charles Liulepage, in
stead of that found in the indictment. The
attorney at once moved for a dismissal of
the case, tvhich was granted, the jude in
structing the jury to remain in their seats
and render a verdict of acquittal, as the
error made by ihe grand jury was fatal iu
its character and tuo defendant must be set
at liberty, which was done. This is the
first instance ot the kind that has ever oc
curred iu Oregon and is one ot interest to
the legal fraternity. The grand jury wiil
have another trial at the name Litfepuge
in all probability this Session.
