A
Anotiieu Shooting Aitkay. News
is received from Huntington of a fatal
stabbing affray at that place, between
John Colley, formerly a denizen of
lcndleton, and J. Morrison, an em
ployee of the railroad company. Mor
rison had been working for eomo time
on an extension at Huntington, and
had quit with considerable cash. Col
ley, who is an opium fiend and a dis
reputable character generally, in
vciplctt him into iv game of cards.
The two entered the back room of a
saloon, last Satuiday night, locking
the door on the inside. They had not
been there long when outsiders heard
the icport of a pistol, and cries for
help proceeding from both men. A
crowd collected and at once proceeded
to break down the door. Morrison
was discovered on the floor with a bul
let through his body, dying. It is 0ip
posed that. Colley was discovered in
some trickery, and that during the
quarrel which followed Mormon at
tempted to draw his weapon and shoot
him, but that his assailantQwas too
quick for him, and got the drop. Col
ley is doerihed as a tough character,
but will doubtless go scot free. Mor
rison has a father living iO Rochester,
bw York.
Ki.ocutio.vahv ENTi:KTAiNgy:.vr.
Prof. T. S. Hafibrd gave an entertain
ment in this city last Monday i veiling
to a fair sized audience. T lie profes-
ijjor is not a success as an elocutionist,
but some of his experiments in chem
ical science were interesting and in
structive. His efforts to instruct the
youth arc very praiseworthy. When
lie attempts, however, to instruct the
small boy how to make ininature vol
cauos with explosive tQeniieals he is
carrying the thing loo far. The small
boy is an imitative animal, and we arc
now in daily expectation of being
calledjjiporOo ehionicle a disastrous
conflagration caused by the above
mentioned s. h. making chemical ex
periments, and touching off minature
volcanos in his father's woodshed or
some vacant building around town.
I'iuiknoi.ooical Lkctuhe. Prof. C.
N. Martin lectured on phrenology in
this city Friday and Saturday evenings
of last week. His leeturQs were quite
entertaining and ho seems to have
great faith in the truth of the science
he teaches, and the importance it is
destined to attain. It may be of inter
est to our readers to note that the
Professor was induced to go and exam
ine the skull of the skeleton recently
found in Powder river, and while he
RTicw nothing of the circumstances
surrounding it, the description hegavo
of, and the characteristics ho attribu
ted to tho man while living, coincided
so closely witlKwhat is known of Wil
lis Skiff as to inmost startle the specta
tors. Smai.u:ox is Yamhill. The Day
ton, Yamhill county, Herald says con
cerning tho smallpox : "This dread
disease has, it seems, obtained quite a
start in this county. There is no use
in disguising the fact. As we go to
press we learn that there aro three or
' four eases in McMiuville and one in
Lafayette. .Other parties have been
cxposedjuuT most likely will take it
soon. Mr. Geo. Morgartidge, who
lives three miles southwest fiom Day
ton, has this dread disease in a very
aggiavated fonn, and it is said that he
is in A dangerous condition. A strict
quarantine has boon effected."
Gavk Falsi-: Evidence. In a recent
murder case at Hakerville, Cariboo, a
Chinaman was sworn tho second time
by cutting off a cock's head, and gave
evidence dissimilar to that ho had pre
viously given. Being charged with
this fact by tho Judge, tho witness
turned ashy pale, doubled up, and fell
intensible to tho floor, and was carried
out. Tho Chinese claim that he will
dio in a month or six weeks, as others
have done who sworo falsely when to
sworn. Since the incident the witness
has been gradually sinking, and his
friends expect him to dio at the alloted
time.
A Bountiful Hakvkst. Through
out Oregon tho encouraging news of a
bountiful harvest is roported, and the
farmors are to be congratulated in
garnering tho richest harvest known
in this state's history. Oregon this
year outranks all other statos in the
Union in tho munificence and variety
of her products, and her future is full
of the promiso of wealth and prosper
ity. What other state can soml in a
like report?
