Y alley Society, send them a challenge, by

A Long Tramp.
Last week a German and his wife came
to this pfice to start a bakery.but not find
ing sufficient employment, started for Jack
sonville, distant ninety-five miles, fa foot,
each carrying a bundle. George Roberts
petted tlieia up in the canyon and gave
them a ride into Galesville, and reports he
never did any one a favor before who were
so grateful and woo so plainly showed they
could not find words to express their grati
tude for his kindness. The roads are fear
ful at this season of the year for horsemen
or I stages, but what must it be for the
poor man and woman on their: long and
weary tramp.
In Four Hundred Feet.
From W. F. BHggs, Esq., we learn that
work on the tunnel "of the Tellurium is
still rapidly progi easing. The tunnel has
now reached a distance of of 400 feet. A
hard chan-cter or rock was met with a day
or two ago, which miners oelieve to be the
wall rock to the ledge. One sign in sup
port ot this proposition is the late rapid
flow of water into the tunnel. Mr. Briggs
is pleased with the prospect, and predicts
the mine will soon speak favorably for

Chinese on Public Works.
We see that the government contractors
engaged in constructing the canal at the
Cascades, have employed Chinamen to do
the work, paying one dollar per day. They
offer work to white men, but on such con
dition as to prevent them from working It
ia an outiage upon the workingmen of the
country when the government allows its
public works to be constructed by foreign
slaves. It may enrich the contractors, but
will empoverish and degrade American
labor.
Too Muchly Married.
A letter from Empire City states that
Captain Laufare, an old resident, has run
away, leaving his family. It seems the
Captain has ommitted bigamy. Before he
married his present wife, he wooed, won
and wedded another, became dissAtisSed
and ran off without taking the trouble to
procure a divorce. Mrs. Laufare No 1 was
about to put in appearance, and the Cap
tain did not propose to face two angry wo
men. ,
NtSw and Cheap Music.
Lovers of new first-class sheet musi,
embracing some of the compositons of the
greatest ( composers, at less price than such
sheet music can be purchased in San Fran
cisco, cannot do better than to call at the
store of Dr. J, Woodruff. He has a collec
tion of fine music of over five hundred
different pieces, from wuicb a cotnptenet
critic cannot fail to select something nice
and pleasing. It is without doubt the fin
est stock in the line ever brought to Rose
burg. Go and see for yourself.

An American Game.
The other evening a gentleman from
Oakland and a son of France, held forth
in one of the saloons in a little game of
even-up. j It is needless to say that the
fair fame of our sister city was not dis
graced by anything in the shape of poor
playing, and thos who were preseutldur-
ing the progress of the game can readily
testify, that a Frenchman is a nervous
and excitable creature at the beet.
New Diggings Found. .',
A letter received from Jim Woodward
and Uncle John t4ildereleeve states that
theT have found new placer mines on
Lee's creek, a tributary of Myrtle creek.
They found as high as $2 50 to the pan on
the bedrock. Whether the diggings were
extensive or not the prospectors are as yet
unaDleto determine. We hope the ooys
have struck it rich.
Dangeious Doctor.
Last Monday Dr. John Catto was arrest

He was tried before a justice and was held

MINING NEWS.
From the Jacksonville Times we gather
the following news of the mines of South
ern Oregon:
The miners of Farmer's Flat are about
ready to commence operations.
Considerable mining is going on in the
region of Willow Springs this Winter.
The mines on Jackass creek are being
worked more extensively than ever before
Tbe Esther quartz mine is probably to
be leased to a company of Nevada miners.
The pipe for Gin Lin's second hydraulic
is now in position and about ready tor
active wore.
The Squaw Lake Ditch Company has
ceased piping and is now making a general
clean-up.
The bilver crees excitement is in a fair
way to be discouraged for the present by
the heavy tnow fall in that vicinity.
Miners are of the opinion that but ans
other rain like the one recently experienced
will be necessary to furnish enough water
for mining purposes.
The Sterling Company will soon build
one or more reservoirs, which will enable
it to continue operations the year around.
Reports from Josephine county are of a
favorable nature. More mining than ever
will be sarried onin that county than ever
before.
SECURED HIS PARDON.
Jimmy Dodge, aged 14 years, concluding
to follow after tue life of Robinson Crusoe,
and hari. g disobeyed his parents, sudden
ly left his home in this county, and af'er
many adventures, wended his way to the
north, at last arriving in the Touchet coun
try, at Dayton. He finding a life of adven
ture lather less romantic than his early
reading had led him to believe, aud yearn
ing once more to return home and being
without means, the little fellow, not realiz
ing the result, deliberately rode away a
ponj, the property of a Dayton citizen; and
going to Walla, bold the animal and was
about to journey down the river on the cars
and boats, when he was arrested, taken to
Dayton, and there bound over to await
the action of the Grand Jury, where be
was indicted, pleaded guilty and sentenced
to tbe lowest penalty one year in the pen
itentiary. But his parents hearing of his
arrest employed Hon. Binger Hermann to
proceed there and defend him if possible;
but the tacts being conclusive, the above
course was adopted, and then after diligent
labor, Mr. Hermann obtained oue of tbe
finest petitions of pardon, tcuring the
names of nearly ail the Grand Jury, prose
cuting attorney, complaining witness, all
the county officers and members elect to
the Legislature, Representative elect to
Congress, members of the Walla Walla
and Dayton Bar. and citizens generally of
the place With this petition he proceeded
toOlympia, and a pardon was granted bt
the Governor. The lad is now on his way
home, rejoicing at his happy deliverance,
a better and wiser boy, it is to be hoped.
The Debate.
The Literary Society debated the Chi
nese question last Wednesday evening.
The speakeis arguing against the immi
gration of Chinese to this country held
there could be no competition between the
American free and Chinese slave laborers ;
that they exhaust the resources of and
make no return to the country; and on the
principle of self-defense, under the Constis
tution, Chinese immigration to this country
should be restricted. The negative held
that the Chineso only filled a vacancy; they
were peaceable citizens and interfered with
no one; that they were a necessity to carry
on public work. The negative argued
ably, but their positions were refuted and
the decision was rgainst them. The negan
tive was represented by E. G. Hursh and
George Kimball, the aBrmative by fcred
Floed and L. H.Wells.
Serious Accident
Last Thursday, the 12ih, while standing
in tront of a fire-place at his borne ou jp-
plegate, the oldest son of Robert Banister
