A IHiirhtcd l ife
A fow mornings since an Orecon City
matron called to see her young married
daughter, who resides on street, and
found her weeping bitterly.
"O mother take me homo, my heart is
broke!" sobbed the daughter, "throwing
herself into her mother's arms.
After her tears had somewhat subsided,

the. mother said
rind
as
been unkind to von?
"No," soblx-d the daughter, but he does
not love me any longer, and my heirt is
breaking."
"Come, come, child, cheer up. Tell me
why you think him untrue to you. Does
lie "sliow it ? "
"Yes," was the heartbroken reply.
"O, the scoundrel! O, th viper!" she
gasied. "My jxor dear child," she fairly
Hobbed, "your mother won't desert you.
She'll bring that villain to his knees. " Hut
what insub has he olfered you, my child?
Spesk. tell the worst."
"O mother, I can't."
"You must, my child ; toll me though
the Heavens fall", what outrage has he
committed ?"
"He swore last night when I put my
coH feet to bis back, "sobbed the daughter.
"Is that all ?' gasped the mother.
"Yes, but he never did so before. All
last winter he never said a word when I
put my cold feet to his back, and now I
know he doesn't love me ;" and then the
poor girl's tears broke out afresh.
Beforo the mother lett she managed to
convince her daughter that all the world
was hollow. and that the hollow of a man's
back is not the place for his wife's cold feet.
Laroe Crops. From the published re
port of the State Agricultural Society we
glean the following concerniugthe prolific
yield of all crops in this State, and espe
cially in this county;
In Clackamas county last year, P.M.
Ttinearson raised one "hundred and six
bushel j of corn to an acre. He planted in
hills three feet apart, and gave it no unus
ual cultivation. Oregon is not a corn
country, of course, but in a tew localitios
crops of corn by no means discreditable
are made. Mr. Rinearson also got four
hundred and twelve bushels
from half an acre. On the faruiof Beckett
AHodson, near Eola, Polk countv, the
yield of hops was oik hundred and thirty
ix boxes of twelve and a half pounds
each, to the acre, and George E. May of
Lane county, picked from one acre thirtv
two hundred and uinety pounds. Mr
Rinearson. of Clackamas, before mention
ed, gathered from an acre eleven hundred
and thirfy-th -ee bushels of carrots, and
from a like area of land forty-one tons
and two hundred and sixty pounds of
rutabagas.

I am sorry to chronicle the death of our
neighborhood, (that is, in the line of

our old good times back again.

our part," we" favor leap-frog, because the
positions are so graceful.
On Saturday last the ladies turned out

A Terrible Heating.
Last week one Buchanan, a resident of
Marion countv, administered a terrible
beating to R. V. Short, a well known and
highly respected citizen of this county
It seems that at the last session of the cir
cuit court, in a land case, the question of
Buchanan's reputation tor truthfulness
was brought up, and Mr. Short testified
that in the caso pending Mr. B. had made
a false statement. This set hard on Buch
anan's mind, and last week he took the
opportunity to "get even" as bethought,
but as others think he got a little more
than "even." From what we can learn of
the affair the facts are about as follows
Mr. Short, who lives in the southern part
of the county, near the Marion county
line, was on his w.iv to Butteville. and
when passing by Buchanan's farm he v-s
hailed bv the owner, who said he want:
to nee him. Mr. S. waited until B. came
up.w ho immediately commenced by strik
ing Short with his hst. Short being a
small man and his antagonist a six footer,
he thought discretion the better part of
valor, ami took to his heels, lie was soon
headed off by I'uehanun, who knocked
him down anil beat him till he was insen
sible. When he revived, Buchanan wash
ed his wounds and carried him to his
house, but failing to stop the Uow'of blood
he became frightened and conveyed the
almost dead body to his (Short's) place.
He left it near the house, after calling out
some of the family ; but took good care to
make tracks before they arrived where he
hail left the victim of his rage. The
wounded man was conveyed to the
house and medical assistance sent
for at once. Mr. Short has been in
in a very precarious condition ever since,
but the chances are favorable for his re
covery. Mr. Ij. T. Barin, who visited Mr.
Short'last Friday, reports that Short is the
worst used up man he has seen for many
a long day ; most of the bones in his face
being hroken,aud the body almost a solid
mass of bruises. The preliminary exam
ination, which was to have taken place
last Saturday, was postponed on account
of the critical condition of Mr. Short.

Narrow Escape. East Saturday, while
crossing the river at Canemah in a leaky
boat, Mrs. Jeff. Shaw, Misses Dona Shaw
and Laura Fields, and a young man, met
with quite an adventure. "The boat sprung
a leak in the centre of the river and began
to fill rapidly, but by great exertion the
boat was brought near the shore before
it sunk. The water being shallow, they
made the shore safely, with the exception
of Miss Fields, v ho lias been sick forsome
months past, and the cold water and fright
brought on a paralytic stroke, from which
she is not expected to recover. If the loat
had sunk in the centre of the rivf r, the
whole party would undoubtedly have
been carried over the falls, and all found
a watery grave.
Literary Entertainment. On Satur
day the 7th inst. .Bridgeport was the scene

privileges with men." Messrs. Day, A.R.
Shipley, Anderson, Woodward, and E. C.
mipiey took tne affirmative, ana Messrs.

P. A. Haves the necativw. Th imlirpa de

of the House of Representatives, an
action for 610,000 damages for assault
and battery and false imprisonment,
was decided at a general term of the

the 22d ult. Kilbourn refused, it will
be remembered, to answer certain ques
tions when he was before the "Real
Estate Pool Investigating Committee"
of the Honse of Representatives, aud
was committed for contempt. The court
held that Thompson was justified, as he
was only executing the order of the
Honse of Representatives, and over

dissenting.

DESIRES TO INFORM THE CITIZENS OF

I have just returned from San Francisco,

Of the above list, I can say my stock is the
MOST COMPLETE
ever offered in this market, and was seleted
... t ....V.n I f 'iti- ( ....!.. All
of which I now offer for sale at the
Lowest Market Rates.
No use for the ladles, or any one else, to
think of going to Portland to buy goods for I
am Determined to Sell Cheap and not to allow
myself to be
UNDERSOLD IN TIIE STATE OF OREGON.
All I ask is a fair chance and quick pay
ments, believing as I do that
Twenty Years Experience
in Oregon City enables me to know the re
quirements of the trade. Come one and all
and see for yourselves that the old stand of
THOMAS CHARMAN
cannot be beaten in quality or price. It would
be useless for me to tell you all the advantages
I can offer you in the sale of goods, as every
store that advertises does that, and probably
you have been disappointed. All 1 wish to
say is
Come, and Sec, and Examine for Yonrselves,
for Ido not wish to make any mistakes. My
object is to tell all my old friends now that I
am still alive, and desirous to sell goods cheap,
for cash, or upon such terms as agreed upon.
Thanking all for the liberal patronage hereto
fore bestowed.
