While crossing the Molalla at Knight's ford last Monday, a little boy named Rit- ler came near making"food for the fishes." Julius Logus and Jack Bowers were driv ing a band of cattle to this city, and had tied a cow to the wagon.which was driven bv the liov. 1 hey were told that the river was fordable, but when about half way across, the water raised the led from the wagon and carried it off. The horses. wagon, minus the bed. and the cow ar rived safe on the opposite bank.

The men went at once for a boat which was lied a short distance below, but while thev were crone, the bov. not relishing his position, divested ' him self of his coat and determii ed to swim for shore. Alter a hard struggle with the strong current, he made land. The wagon bed lloated flown the stream and was picked up. A saddle and some small ar ticles in the watrou were lost.

Perhaps no paper in theState has argued more strenuously than the ExTErtrmsK the benefits resulting from patronizing home industries and home mechanics; but whether it is our proximity to the metropolis, which it cannot be denied our people like to visit, or because better arti cles can lie purchased there for the same money, the truth Is nevertheless plain that many of our people ignore Oregon City when they have purchases to make. This lieing an indubitable fact, we are driven to take ad vantage of our jieonle's wrong bv soliciting advertisements irom Portland. Merchants and manufacturers of that city consequently will tinil it well worth a small investment to publish their wares to our people in this paper.for many of them, we reluctantly admit, are deter mined upon spending their money in Portland, argue and object as we may.

Last Sunday Mr. Revenue, from Sandy, culled on Coroner Knight at Canbv, and infot til ed him that a man named Wilson li.nl !ieo: poisoned ifi his neigh I irhood on last Friday night. Mr. Knight lefl at once for the scene to hold an miucst, end had rot returned up to the time of w riling. Wht-ll:-e r V: i I -. 1 1 niittt il suieide, or Hie poi son w.s administered witli murderous in lent, is not known. S;::. e the above was in type. Dr. Davis, who accompanied the foroiier to Sandy, has returned and gives us the following facts i.i the case: About two weeks ago, Wilson had seme trouble with his wife, and she pieked up her things and depart ed fr her father's mansion at Albany, sLkv which time the deceased has been rut her moodv and low spirited. A short time after Ids spouse dcpai ted, he asked Mrs. Long, physician for ihe neighbor hood, for some arsenic for some purpose, but she refused to give it to him. A few days alter this, he came to this city, where it is supposed he procured it. On Friday iiiht last .Wilson was fiddling for a dane'e during whieh a little trouble arose, and in the melee Wilson received a slight wound in the neck from a ocket-knife in the hands of a participator in the row, but whieh could not have been the cause of his death. On Saturday e eninir he was taken violently sick, with every indication of poison, ami he was taken to the resi lience ot Mr. Revenue and medical atten dance called in, but it was unavailing and he died Sun lav morningat t o'clock. The oroner'.s iurv returned that Wilson's death was caused bv poison administered bv himself or persons unknown. From all the information we can obtain, it seems that ho uelilieralcl v committed suicide. while in a lit of de!ondeney. Be Kind to the Snt.vxo::u.-Mr. J. G. Foster, from New Fra, informs us that the citizens of that vicinity are lacking in courtesy and neighborly feeling. From his account, not one ot them tendered their services in the case of the Bohemian, Sperl, who was kil'ed last Monday; that the family were letc lo periorm tne last sad rites without the presence of a single neighbor, from New Era. A word of con solation or a little seivice in the hour of affliction, costs but little, and to strangers in a strange country it shows a feeling of friendliness, which helps to soften the ter rible blow which has fallen on the afflict ed ones.
