Last Saturday evening, says the Portland Standard, an accident occurred on board the tamer McMinn srille while at her wharf in this city .which nearly resulted in the death of David Cau- ' field, mate of the vessel. One of the buck ets to the wheel required some temporary repair and he went inside the wheel house to investigate its condition. While there lie found it impossible to accomplish the necessary work in consequence of the ikv sition of the wheel, and being unable to turn it by hand, one ot the men requested the engineer to give it a half revolution He started the machinery, and before Mr" Caufield could effect his escape the lare wheel revolved and carried him nnand arouna ana aown into the water. He was rendered unconscious by the movement aad quick plunge and undoubtedly would bare perished but for the self possession of Captain tanlxrn who quickly descend ed and after some difficulty succeeded in catching tlie drowning man and bringing him to the surface. The escape was aliar row and fortunate one, and has taught Dave to be more eareful in the future. " Honey. Hon. A. J. Dufur is quoted as authority for the statement that there is a strip of country about three miles wide, stretching sontlv-east from the Willamette river near Oregon City, to the Cascade mountains, which is a natural honey pro ducing district. He says in the foot hills of the mountains the Honev dew, which is peculiar to this district, within the boundaries it covers, falls so heavily as to encrust the foliage, and he displayed at the Centennial a branch that was covered with this deposit, as if it had been dipped in heated svrtipand then cooled. Through out this belt or country, bees are better off than bees in clover," for thev literally scrape up the ready-made honey and after filling their hives, build and fill combs on the outside. Mr. Dufur has seen eighty pounds of honey taken from the under side of a pole stretched across a fence and asserts that this especial locality seems to develop the so-called honey "dew year fteryear, Jq remarkable quantity.

Pope. On Tuesday, March 27, Mr. Pope, L. T. Barin and Geo. Harding; accompanied by Richard Haw kins as teamster, who was taking their boat and camping outlit, went out to a point a short distance below the upper Clackamas bridge. They arrived in safety, had the boat put into the river, and camp ed there that night. Mr. Hawkins return ed the same day with the team, and Mr. Harding was sent for from Oregon City during the night, as' his presence was re quired at home, thus leaving Messrs.Pope and Barin alone to make the trip down the river in the boat. Tho intention of the party was to deeend the river and stop at eddies to fish for the magnificent moun tain trout tlKit this river is so well noted for to those who have ever cast a bait in its waters. Besides this the DanKs or tne Clackamas affords some of the grandest primeval scenery to be found even in this State, noted as it is tor its unequalled views of nature, uncontaminated by the destroying hand of man. Who then can blame them for wishing to throw off the cares of business for a few days, to enjoy such sport as they were sure to get, and to be invigorated by the bracing air of the mountains, assisted by the exercise and excitement of the trip down the river. Coming' down the river they had fine success in their sport, successfully shot the many rapids until about 3 o'clock, when they came to a part of the river where it divides, forming an island. One must remember that the river at this time of the year is a raging torrent, and re quires a steady nerve, strong arm and quick eye to sately guide a boat down its waters." Whilst they were deciding which fork of the river to take, the current decid ed the question for them ; then they saw a snag right in their course ahead of them and before they could get the boat eii her on the one side or the other of it, it was thrown against the snag, smashed in, and notwithstanding they tried to keen it up right by holding on to the snag and bear ing down on one side of it, the boat was driven under by the force ot the current. Messrs. Pope and l?arin, by dint of great exertion, managed to get oh the snag; out even here the current was nearly strong enough to wash them ofl.as their feet were in the water. Mr. Pope remarked, "This is too bad." They tried to get a plank otf the boat to assist them in reaching shore. but without avail. Mr. Barin pulled oil' Air. cope s gnrn boots and assisted mm to partisilly undress. .Mr. Harm then took otf his own boots and a small coat. Mr. Barin then remarked that they had better find some plan by which to getaway from there, us it was impossible tor any one to extend them any help even if they could be seen, where tli'-y then were. V must not forget that the nearest house was probably two miles oil' and not even a road near them. Mr. Pope then said, "Louis, see if you can touch bottom, or find out how deep it is. m r. caiin ac cordingly lowered himself i:i the water, when the current wrenched him around so that he found that if he attempted to regain his place on the snag it w uld take all his strength and that even then he might not succeed, so he sfid, "Charley, I guess I had letter go now," and with the same he allowed tin-current to carry him down the river. He found it was useless to try to gain either shore, having' lirst tried "to reach one, and then the other. He had about given up all hopes of saving himself, when lie suddenly found that he was within ten or twelve feet of the shore. This gave him strength enough to make one great effort to gain the bank, which ho did. To grasp a root was the work ot an instant, but alasl it broke off and the force of the current carried liim under water. When he rose again, he grascd at some other roots, which held him long enough to allow him to breathe freely and get a tresh hold by which he was enabled to pull himself out of the water to the top of the bank. Here lie lay down exhausted. He does not know how long, but it was probably some little time, be cause when he arose he was able to go up the river to where Mr. Pope was still on the snag. Mr. Harm called out to him to see if ho could reach the rope (about lid feet long) which was in tl.e boat. He made some motions as if answering and at the same time rubbing his wrists as if preparing to go into the water. He jumjv ed in ami was borne away by the current. He, as did Mr. I'.arin. seemed to try to make first oik- shore and then the other, all without effect, as h was still borne mi by th( stream. Soon he was seen to sink, then appear again, swimming with the current; this happened twice more. After the last tinia Mr. Barin was able to see the body by its white clol hing being borne along under tho water for some distance, but was of course unatle to render any assistance. After waiting some time to see if there was any hope of its re-appearing, he sadly wended his way to a house alxiut two miles distant. Here he arrived with bruised ami bleeding feet, having had to travel barefooted through the path less forest, and gave the alarm. A mes senger was at once sent to Oregon City to carry the sad news.- Ivuly next morning means were taken by his brothers and main friends to find the body. Indian .Jaeob was seen in the matter, but said that if the body was in the Clackamas it was in a certain" eddy two or three miles below the scene of the accident, but that the water was too high then to find the body. Many were out with boats on Thursday and Friday, as the river was falling very fast, but their efforts were unrewarded. On Saturday evening about G o'clock, Indian Jacob brought the ttody of our friend with his canoe to Chase's ferry. There it was taken in charue bv Messrs. Pratt and Barclay, who brotiglit the body down in their boat to the paper mill. These two gentlemen deserve great credit for the act, as it requires no little nerve to come down that river in the day time, certainly ten times worse when it is almost dark.' Many would think it very indiscreet, as the fate that had befallen their friend was very likely to happen to them on that trip. Late that night the body was brought into town where it was received by his brethren in Odd Fellow ship. An inquest was held before J. W. Shat tuck, J. P., and a jury, who returned a verdict in accordance with the above. The body was in an excellent state of preservation, and the expression of the face vas rather that of one who had quietly fallen asleep than of one who had met a violent death. On Monday, April 2d, the stores and places of business were ll closed as a token of the great resjiect in which the de ceased was lield. The corpse was taken from the house of Lis brother, Mr. W. H. Pope, by the members of the I. O. O. F. to the Baptist Church, where the funeral sermon was preached hv the Rev. Mr. Day of the M. E. Church, of which the deceased was a member. The singing by the choir, under the guidance of the Rev. .mt. neu wood, gave gr.-at effect and solemnity to the occasion. The members of Oregon Lodge No. 3, I. O. O. F., accom panied by the Fire Department, of which Mr. Pope had been a worth v and efficient member, then took charge of the bodv and conveyed it to the Odd Fellows' ceme ,i J, tl?e,e to Perform the last office which "c iimiiS can render to the dead.

L. McNary : ,Ir,ha'e just,real the statement of Hon. It. L. Geer, relating to the tight with In dians on the Abiqua, and as I was living on the Clackamas at that time, and ha3 occasion to pass through that section the same season, l gathered tho t.t Frnm different parties, alout that affair, which nearly correspond (according to mv recol lection) toGeer's statement, that I believe. in the menu, lie is correct, excentini' the .last clause in his artie'e. where he savs "The Klamaths Now I wish to never came back," Ac. correct M r rioi-V ain. mem, in mis particular. As the Klamaths always had been a ter ror to the settlers of the Willamette valley, whenever they came among us thev were watched with suspicion, and every'move ment of theirs was noted, as they were re garded Hi our enemies, and their presence here boded no good to the whites. But they did come back, and, if I remember aright, it was in November, 1S53. They were supposed to have crossed the Barlow road, as the settlers on the upper Clacka mas lirst saw them.and veremuch alarm ed, but the Indians said they were coming to trade with the Clackamases. and did camp near the Clack mas village, near where the railroad bridge crosses the stream; there were about (X) Klamaths, and 100 Clackamases at the village. They spent several weeks together in gambling, ami iinally got into a row about some old difficulty that had happened man v 3ears before, wherein one of the Klamaths had been killed by a Clackamas, so the Klam aths pulled up camp and moved over to Abemethy creek, how in the northern limits -of Oregon City, then covered J with logs and some standing timber. At that time I had located on the S.uitiam, but was down at my fathers, and starting very early in the morning for home I approach ed the village on the Clackamas about sunrise, and found it nearly deserted In the meantime I had heard a great many guns fired in quick succeesion in the direc tion of Abemethy creek, but the few squaws and children there, pale with ex citement, refused to give any information as to what the trouble was;but I was not long in conjecturing what was the matter. As I passed on nearer the scene of action, I saw the Indians were fighting near the bridge on the Abemethy creek. They were concealed behind logs and trees, and would lire at each other as they had oj portunity, the creek lying between the contending parlies. When I approached within two or three hundred yards of them, some of them came to me'and told me to stop as they did not wish to hurt tiie whites, and I would be very likely to get hit if I attempted to cross the bridge, so I was detained until about i) o'clock, and witnessed a good part of the battle. The people of the town hearing ti e firing, many of them waked up and came to the scene, until so many came they compelled the Indians to desist. While there I saw them carry off several dead, and one of them told me the Klamaths lost five, and the Clackamases four, killed, and several wounded. The Klamaths packed up in great haste, and left for home, by what route I do not know. Mr. F.dito' if you think this scrap of the early history of Oregon worth a place in your paper, you are welcome to use it. St. I'aui's Guild. At the regular annual meeting of the Women's Guild of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the following officers were elected for the ensuin-r year : President, ex-officio, Hev. .. W. Sell wood ; Vice President ,M is. A.B.Clark: Secretary, Mrs. J. W . Sell wood ; Treasurer, Mrs. F. Cochran.

Mr. President and Ladies of the Guild : Your Secretary begs leave to report t hat during the year the following reeciotsand expenditures have been made in this Guild: Iteceipts, S;M7fr; expenditures, 11J 75; balance on hand, SiiS 10. In as suming the incidental expenses of the Church, the Guild relieved the Vestry of no little responsibility and care; in appre ciation of which thev have subscribed to a letter of thanks which has already been read before the society. During tlie year our little band of workers has been dimin ished by removal and withdrawal, and it requir-s a large share of faith to discern a brigi t future for the few that are left. In order that the good work begun and car ried on amid many difficulties may not languish or fail, we call upon our fellow communicants who have identical interests with ourselves, to come forward and fill the vacancies in our ranks. Let none shirk their duty on the plea of inefficiency or inability. The resolve made to become a self-supporting parish entails increased responsibility upon each one of us; and increased responsibility implies increased effort. Let us then put our shoulder lirm ly to the wheel, and, trusting in that same Power which lias so long guided and blessed our work, we shall in due time reap tlie reward promised to those who never weary of well doing. Kespeetfully Submitted, M rs. J. W. Sell wood, Secretary. School Election .Tho meeting at My ers' Hall last Monday evening, tor the purpose of electing a school director for three years and a clerk foi one year, was numerously attended. Considerable dis cussion took place, and a general interest was manifested for the welfare of our school. Tlie vote for director resulted in favor of M r. John Myers by a good major ity. Mr. II. J. Harding was elected clerk by acclamation. It was voted to levy a four mill tax for school purposes for the ensuing year. The reports of the directors and clerk show the school to be in a healthy condition, and the prospect bright for paying r.ff all indebtedness during the coming y ear. Temperance Ltitcture. G. W. C. T. Dunbar gave an interesting temperance lecture at the Baptist Church last Tuesday evening to a large and attentive audience, lie reports the temperance cause in a pros perous condition throughout the State, and also that several old lodges in this county have been imbued with hew life ami are on the warpath against that great evil, in temperance, and several new lodges have been instituted. An effort was made to revive tho lodge in this city, but we are sorry to say it was not a' success. We learn, however, that it will be revived be fore the session of the Grand Lodge, which meets in June. Turned Granger. The Dalles Tribune has tho following notice of Mr. Jacob Hunsake-, a Clackamas county j-oung man: "Mr. Jaeob Hunsaker, who, for nearly two years, has acted as night clerk for the Uniatilla House, moved down to his farm in the Hood River settlement. He intends to make the raising of fruits of all kinds a specialty, and as the Hood Uiver fruit now enjoys a reputation sec ond to none on the coast, he will find a ready sale for all ho can produce. He is one of our best citizens, and our wish is that he may be eminently successful in his poniological and other pursuits." Canemah. There was a good turnout at the annual school meeting at Canemah la-st Monday evening, and everything passed off smoothly. Mr. L. Paquet was elected director for three years, and Mr. Wm.

There is no exaggeration in the statement that thousands of persons residing from one year's end to another In fever and at;ue re gions on this Continentrinc! elsowhere.breathe air more or less impregnated with miasma, without incurring the disease, simply and only because they are in the habit of usiug Hostetter's Stomach Hitters as a preventive. It has frequently happened, and the faet has oeen amply attested by the parses them selves, that persons surro'ir; jed on all sides by neighbors sufferinf tre crtures of this shivering and burning p.amie have enjoyed absolute immunity from ir thanks to the protection afforded by the "Pilfers. Nor is that standard ranti-f"brilo cordial less effica cious in remedying than in preventing chills and fever, bilious remittents, and disorders of a kindred tyjw. Taken between the parox ysms, it speedily mit'gates their violence, and eventually prevents tiieir recurrence. These facts, convincingly established by evidence, appeal with peculiar force to travelers and sojourners in malarious districts. Housewives, Attention.
