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 !

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.

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.

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.

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

theni is that thev are afraid of work.

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

Straight to drop Nesmith and go for a third

Hoodlums not W anted.
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

"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
