Jacob Kami Toner. The body of this unfortunate young man was found floating near the central dock at Portland last Thursdav morning. The i hodv was so badlv ilisrimirpd unci hlnntorl that his father did not recognize it until a letter was found in one ot his pockets ad dressed to "Jacob Toner." On examining the pockets of the deceased, thete waa found therein, wrapped in an old irlove. $120 in gold and $1 70 in silver, which shows verj' positively that the presump tion of foul dealing asserted last week was uniouiiueu. The coroner's iurv returned a verdict of accidental drowning. I he deceased was born in this citv. and was about 24 years of age. He was always a favorite with his school-mates. 'and it was with sorrow that they heard of his sad and untimely fate. l he remains were brousht to this citv on Friday last, and the funeral services held at the Congregational Church. The ceremonies were very impressive, and many a tear was shed while listening to the eloquent and touching remarks of Hev. u. 15. u ray. ihe C hurch was tilled with the numerous friends of the deceased, to pav the last sad tribute to his remains.

Sanders, Secretary. Pres't Ollicial board. Oregon City, Augut 20th, lb77. Not Scicidal. By request we publish the following, which appeared in the Ore- goniau of the 21st : "We learn from friends .of the late John Davis Crawford, of Clack amas county, who was found dead 111 his orchard on the 4Ui inst., that there was not the slightest ground for the supposi tion that the deceased came to his death by any suicidal intent. 111s latiuiy was residing in this city, and he had gone to his place near Butleville for the purpose of bringing back a cow, some chickens and other articles. On the morning of his death, having tied the cow conveniently to the landing, and placed the chickens 11 a box near the same place, he was waitim for the steamboat to come along and take them all to Portland. While waiting he said he would go round the tield with his gun and look tor so e bints, knowini that he could easily reach the boat after hearing the whistle. After some time elapsed the whistle blew, and immediately alter the report ot a gun was heard. Isotli ing was thought of all this, and no imeasi ness felt until lie failed to return 111 tune for the boat. Search was then made, but not until the next evening was the liody found. There was no physicrin to exai ine the range ot the hall; but all the cir cumstances s'Cin to indicate that the dc ceased on hearing the whistle of the boat started suddenly to return, when, by some accident, the gun was discharged, sending the contents into his side and thence through the heart, causing instant death. It gives great pain to his surviving friends that reports are in circulation that the de ceased came to his death otherwise than bv accident." A Nice Uncle. From the Bee of Mon day we clip the following account of the trials of a young man from t his county while on his wedding tour: "About noon yesterday, a man excited and hat less, and with a snFall gash in his forehead, pa-setl down First street asking the way to the police station of almost every man lie met. His appearance was wilt in the extreme, and by the time he arrived at the jail, a crowd of nearly two hundred p rsons were following him. According to his story he hat! just come from Clackamas countv with his wife of a day or two to visit an uncle of Ivr's, who resides in this city. Yesterday afternoon the uncle got drunk, and without anv provocation proc eded to "put a head on" his iiew-m:ule relative. A police otlicer went with hiiti to the house, but the door was locked, and their appli cation for admittance did not meet with favor from the occupants. The otlicer had no right to 'storm the castle,' and con cluded to let the bridegroom engineer his own family rows." Captured. Andy Long, who was in dicted by the last grand jury for larceny, ommitted in Cascade precinct, and who eft for parts unknown before the officers f the law got their hands on him, was arrested near Koseburg last Monday by Sherilf Apperson. The sheriff lias been oh the look out tor Andy tor some time past, and -last week he learned of his being on a ranch near Koseburg, and he left on the rain Monday morning to make the arrest. The sheriff, accompanied by the deputy slieritl'of Douglas county, found the mail Monday night sleeping in a hay stack nhout ten miles from Koseburg. Thev iptured him without any difficulty, hut shortly after making his arrest he tried to make his escape, aim gave tne otneers a ivelv race for about half a mile before thev overhauled him. He was brought lown on the train Tuesday afternoon and occupies quarters in the county jail. Notorious. An Albany exchange gives a recent inmate ot our tail the following recommend : "Andy Dwyer, a hotel waiter who worked several ir onths in this citv. has come to grief. One day last week he stole ins room-m-Ue s clothes in Oregon City, and the Recorder sent him to jail for twelve days. When he stopped in this citv he was a nice voung man: wore a patent shirt front, paste diamond breast pin, and was n object of considerable attention to the night watchman and marshal. He would make a ri rat-class brick maker, and we think it very likely he will learn that trade j-et at the State's exjiense." Fish Propagation Movements. Prof. Stone, U. S. Fish Commissioner, is busily engaged in getting things ready to com mence operations in the propagation of salmon tor the Columbia river. The orig inal plan of building a dam across Clear creek and running the water through a flume to the breeding house lias been abandoned on a count of loose gravel in the creek and the lateness of the season, and it is now proposed to have a water wheel and an elevator to bring the water for breeding purposes from the Clacka mas. Aliout twenty-five workmen were discharged last Monday on account of the change in plans. The Ham will be placed in Clear creek next vear. Wavkrlt Excursion. The Waverly excursion to this city last Thursday even ing was a pleasant affair, and was highly enjoved by the visitors from Portland and the young people of this citv. The excur sionists arrived here aliout half ast nine o'clock and immediately wended their way to Pope's HU. where Prof. Brav fur nished music for the devotees of Terpsi-VV?- 1:n,-n was kept up until aliout 12 o clock, after which the wants of the hungry were supplied on board the City or Salem, and then thev steamed away for home, all seeming well pleased with the trip. Further Particulars. The Bee of last Monday has the following concerning the drowning or Jacob Toner, on the 12th inst.: "Two vounc mon n- r.,l A.,l.n rwere out sailing at the time the Ohio nass- ed.anrt soon after heard cries for help coming from almnt midwav the river The' cries came from a person swimming in the river, who seemed to be making for the eastern shore. He soon turned and swam toward the water works, but sank before the boys could reach him." Grand Balt,. Next Saturday the so journers at Wilhoit's Soda Springs indulge in a rrand masquerade ball.

The victim says one of the suspected par ties accompanied him to the vicinity of the railroad depot about 12 o'clock, and ho remembered un'hing more until he woke up next morning on the railroad track, with his money missing. Insane. We clip the following item from the Salem Statesman of last Satur day: "From passengers who came up from Astoria yesterday, we learn that Mrs. D. C. Ireland was conveyed to the Insane Asylum. Mrs. Ireland tells a straight-forward and well-connected story, and says that her husband desires to rid himself of her presence.

Seattle Intelligencer: That onr city is not growing is very evident. It never will grow while men who paid nothing for their lots ask San Francisco prices for tliem. The railroad machine shops now build ing at Tacoma nre about 12 3-ards in length. Jackson & Myers' cannery at Mnkil teo is now putting up about 9,000 cans of fish per day. Many of the Pnget Sound salmon are infested with a parasite that lays eggs within the skin, which hatch into worms and render the fish unfit to be eaten. The "Walla Walla railroad has maclo preparations which will enable it to carry to the river 1,500 tons of wheat a week. This will nearly empty the val ley by the close of navigation.

An insect similar to the army worm is doing considerable damage to the veg etable crop in Whatcom county.

There is no cannery, but salt salmon are in such demand that even the average Tillamooker is inclin ed to go to work. Judge Boise has decided the manda mus suit of Burnett vs Secretary Chad wick in favor of Mr. Burnett.

A Ketult of Obstructed Digestion. Among the hurtful consequences of obstruct- t ed digestion, is the Impoverishment of the blood, and since a detertatlve condition of the vital fluid not only produces dangerous organic weakness, but. according to the best medical authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, it is apparent that to improve the quality of the blood by promoting digestion and assimila tion, is a wise, precaution. Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters is precisely the remedy for ibis purpose, since it stimulates the gastric Juices, conquers those bilious and evacuative irregu larities which interfere with the digestive pro cesses, promotes assimilation of the food by the blood, and purifies as well as enriches it. The signs of improvement in health in conse quence of using the Bitters are speedily ap parent in an accession of vigor, a gain in bodily substance, and a regular and active performance of every physical function. From II 011. W. H. Jones, or Weit Dover, Vermont. "I have been troubled from my boyhood with chronic or hereditary lung complaint. Some years since, early in the winter, I 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 I had knowledge of. My family physician also prescribed for me, hut I experienced no relief. During all this time I was gradually running down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as well as my self, became very much alarmed, thinking I should waste away in consumption. While iu Hoston. during the spring following, I was induced to try Wistar's Halsam ok Wild Chkkuv.
