His appointment is now being urged up in Gov. Moody, The Republican press ef the State ia almost unanimously in big favor.

The House has net yet passed the bill to forfeit about 35,000,000 acres of land grauted to that road.

Besides the hides of the cattle, there are their tails and the manes and tails of the horses, tor which a good price can be obtained.

Ebbert, about one mile east of Springfield, Lane ceunty, was burned Thursday morn ing.

Mr. Ebbert and his son left the barn one hour before th fire, hav ing taken out the horses. There was no fire there and it is not known how it originated. The barn was a large one, worth perhaps $1000, besides the large amount of property above named. There was some insurance.

How we would like to see this bou quet on exhibition at New Orleans." On Thursdav last, at Willapa, Charles Hermann was shot in the arm with a rifle, by William Pat- ton, known as "Nigger Bill." Ever since the presidential election, Mr. Hermann and others had been chaf ing Bill about the result, saying he would be sold back to slavery, etc. On Wednesday evening this was carried to such an extent that Bill was worked up to a state of excite ment closely bordering on insanity, in which state ef mind he took leave of his tormenters.
