C. Cooper and John K. Sampson, of Yamhill county ; Wm.Savage and Jas. K. Sears, of Polk : H. B. Fellows, of Clackama.and Wm.Collard.of Marion, On Stanley, On! The following is an extract from a letter to the Standard from our old friend Thos. A. Sutherland, formerly of this c-ity. He describes at length the two days' fight on tne soutn ioik or ciearwater, but space will not permit of its publication and we I only give the part wherein Tom fought ! the "Injins." He say s : Our boys fought at the great disadvan tage of leing oui in an open piece of table land, exactly like a prairie excepting the altitude, while the Indians were entrench ed behind rock breastworks, earthworks. wees ana. nign crass, finuimr that we were losing while righting in this way.the order for a charge was given and most gallantly obeyed by our troops, who rush ed upon the Indians with a hot vollev. driving in their advanced pickets and cap turing their works, although many fell under the deadly aim of the entrenched Indians. Just prior to this charge I took up a gun and by a series of gyrations and wriggles too difficult and absurd to de scribe, succeeded in getting in the front line ot our ngnters. l cautiously lined my head from' the grass to draw a bead on some unsuspicious savage, when rive or six whirrs and a sound like striking the ground with rawhides all about me, told the story of the immediate proximity of men bent on my mutillation. The pre emptory order of a soldier near me to i4lie down you d n fool" was scarcely neces sary as I hugged mother earth for a few minutes after, with an ardor deserving of a better object. I had two shots at what appeared to be Indians, but would hate to make an affidavit that I killed either of them, as I dropped rather too suddenly after firing to realize anything, except th"e hardness of the ground. On coming back to headquarters alone, covered with dirt and perspiration and hat off, Gen. Howard came forward to meet me exacting I had been wounded, showing much innocence of the sagacity ot war correspondents, and want of knowledge concerning the devo tion in winch the nrst lawot nature, about sell-preservation, is held by Oregon news paper men. l'ouiie's l''erry. This thriving settlement is fast moving onwaru, ana ere long we nope to call it a village; and perhaps, in years to come, who knows but what it may be the county seat? Stranger things than this have come to pass, but don't think we are ambitious for the honors at present. Mr. Chas. Wilson is the Nasby for this section, and a more accommodating and genial gentleman cannot be found in the county. About one hundred periodicals are received at this oilic, which, as vou newspaper men say, speaks well for our intelligence. Tho crops in this vicinity are looking well ,aud the headers will soon beat work It has only been six months since tho postoihee was established at this point anu aireauy we nave i wo oiacKsmuii shops anu a saw mm, arm .wr, unas n i;son con templates opening a store in connection with the xstotliee. The saw mill is owned by Mr. F. M . Schaper, and he keeps it running nay ami mgnt, and sum cannot supply the demand. As an example of what industry and economy does in this State, we can refer the new coiners to the tarms ot the Sehtie- trcren brothers, near this postotlice. They came nere live .years ;go without any spare cash and got a farm apiece, and now they have 110 acres of the finest cleared land in the county, will have about l."io bushels of wheat to sell after harvest and have money in the bank. We could name many others in this vicinity who have made as good a showing by hard work and still we hear complaints made that the tanners can t make anything in thi county. the trouble with the most of theni is that thev are afraid of work. The jieople of this section are unanimous lor a new court house, and u it comes to voto vou can depend on Boone's Ferrv going solid for this long needed improve ment. 1- A KM Kit Real Instate Transfers.

I am Senator from Clackamas county. Straight and myself made the canvass together. I was present at Pope s Hall when Straight spoke. Hid not hear him say that if he voted for Orover "you may kiiow I get coin." The charge was never made that he said so until after the adjournment oT the legislature. Straight ha'd told me that Nesmith was his tirst choice and (Jver bis-next. I went to the liCgislature with intetitions not to vote for (irover or Nesmith either. Tried to get Straight to drop Nesmith and go for a third man. He said no. if he could not get Nes mith he would vote for Grover. he prefer red him to anv candidate ottered, saw nothing on the part of (J rover or any of his friends to indicate the use of money.

Clackamas, July 20th, 1S77. EditouExtkrprisk Sir: I should like, if agreeable to you, to describe to the friends (if he has any) of a young gentle man by the name of Smith, of his abusive conduct while attending a dance held at this place recently. According to his usual rule, he came for the avowed purpose of breaking up the dance. Alter making himself so obnoxious that he couldn't get a lady to dance with him, be tried to raise a row of some kind, and very near suc ceeded when he tried to trip a lady who was on the lloor, dancing. This alone shows him to be a hoodlum of the very basest character. Although I do not know Mr. Smith personally, I would say that should he ever visit this place again, it would be well for him to act a little more the part ol a gentleman. I can thank the balance of those present for their gentle manly conduct,also Mr.Sprague for doing all in his power lor our enjoyment. cry Resectfiilly, " Oijskrvi-R. New Music Messrs.

Is this the first in stance in Oregon in which a person has been injured by a stroke of lightning? What the Bilious Require. Since torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of its disorder, it is evident that what the bil ious require is an alterative stimulant which will arouse it to activity, an effect that Is fol lowed by the disappearance of the various symptoms indicative of its derangement. Hosteller's stoman tuners lnvariaoiy acnieve the primary result mentioned, besides re moving the constipation, flatulence, heart burn, yellowness of the skin and whites of t ho eyes, pain in the right side and under the right shoulder, nausea, vertisiO ana kick neau ache, to which bilious invalids are peculiarly subject. As a remedy for chronic indigestion, mental dispondedey and nervousness the Hit ters are equally efficacious, and as a renovant of lost vigor, a means of arresting premature decay, and a source of relief from the infirmi ties to which the gentler sex is peculiarly sub ject, they may be thoroughly relied upon. From Ron. AV. II. Jones, of West Dover, Vermont. "I have been troubled from my boyhood with chronic or hereditary lung complaint. Some years since, early in tho winter, 1 took cold, which as usual settled into a severe cough, which continued to increase as the season advanced, although I made use of all the cough remedies 1 had knowledge of. My lamilv physician also prescribed for me, but I experienced no relief. Uuring all this tinio I was gradually running down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as well as my self, became very much alarmed, thinking 1 should waste away in consumption. While in lioston, during the spring lobouing, I was induced to try WlSTAR'S 15AI.SAM ok Wild Cukkkv. After one day's trial I was sensible that it was relieving m ; in ten daysthne my cough had entirely ceased, and I was soon re stored to health and strength. 1 have ever since kept the Balsam in my house, and whenever anv member of my lamdy has a C0112I1 or cold, it is immediately resorted to. No family should be without it." Sold by all druggists. o TheHarhine Wat Worn Out. Why?
