llAnn.xs ConiTs.-Iast week Sheriff
Pilsbury, armed with a writ of habeas
corpus, issued at the instance of John B.
Jackson, whose wife ran away from him
recently in Ivistern Oregon, to recover the
os.sessioii of hi.s child, then in the care of
its mother, proceeded to the residence of
Howard Ogle, on the Molalla, where Mrs.
Jackson was stopping. The oh! gentle
man Ole was decidedly of tho opinion
not to Jet the Sheriff take the child, and
Croceeded to make his opinion good by
ringing to his aid a huge rifle, which he
used in a demonstra'ivo manner. The
Sheriff1 quietly told him to lay his shoot
ing iron down or there would Ik? trouble
in camp. Ogle, thinking " discretion the
better Kirt of valor," did so, and it was
well he did, lor our Sheriff don't stand
any nonsense. The child was brought to
town, tint was again delivered into the
custody of its-mother, upon the Sheriff's
receiving a lond for its appearance at the
next term of the Circuit Court, in t he sum
of one thousand dollars. The little child
is only two and a half years old.
AnnESTEP. Jacob Madder, of the
firm of II umbel and Madder, pro
prietors or th Oregon City brewery, was
arrested last week, charged with fraudu
lently stamping beer barrels, and taken
to Portland to answer for it in a prelim
inary examination before Commissioner
Iamson, of the United States District
Court. The testimony was deemed suffi
cient by the Court to bind him over to ap
pear before tie Grand Jnry of that Court.
IJeforo this Mr. Madder's reputation for
business integrity, as far as we are aware,
has always been above suspicion ; and we
hope in this case he will also be able to
prove his innocence satisfactorily to all
his friends. Mr. Madder stoutly denies
that anv crime was committed, and says
that with the large business they at
tended to, he could not afford to risk his
prosiecUi bv trying to defraud Uncle Sam
out of his just dues. The amount of
fraudulent stamps used are claimed by
the prosecution to be of the value of three
dollars. -

accept the position proffered us on the
local columns of this paper without any
firevious experience in that direction, and
herefore bespeak for ourself the charita
ble consideration of our readers. None
will look forward more anxiously for his
safe return than your humble servant;
and all, we believe, w.ll join with me in
wishing Mr. Dement a safe and pleasant
journey, a complete restoration of his
health, and a quick return.

Our City.
The Resources of Oregon and Washing
ton, published at Portland, has the fol
lowing description of our city and its in
dustries. This is really the first town settled in
Oregon. It is 1G miles by rail and 13
miles by river above P'rtland. It is lo
cated on the O. te C. R. R., at Willamette
Falls, giving immense water jxiwer. It
is esti mated that liO.OoO operatives could
be im ployed here with but a small outlay
in utilizing this power. Here the whole
body of the Willamette drupes 30 or 40
feet, but this drop or falls is so irregular
the watter finding its way down in crevi
ces and gorges, that there are very few
large sheets of water precipitated over the
cliff's as Niagara or Genessee. This city
was incorporated in lo present Mayor,
Peter Paquet. High banks nearly 300 feet
high, comes down close to the banks of
the river, and the business portion ot the
city is all on one street, down close to the
rivers 's edge, while the main residences
are above. This phure was for several
Tears the capital of Oregon. Here are
ocks on the opposite side of the river, so
that boats pass to and from Portland up
and down the Willamette and Yamhill
rivers, without transferring. Here is also
a basin on the citv side, above the Falls,
and an elevator transfer from a lat be
low, through a warehouse, to a boat
above in the Basin. Also the Willamette
Transfer and Locks Co. has a dry dock
here for repairing boats.
meir warehouse capacity hero is 4.000
tons, lesides warehouses up the river.

The Baptl.t Convention.
The annual convention of the Mission
ary and Rducational Society of the Bap
tist church for Oregon, Washington Terri
tory and Idaho, was held in the Baotis
church in this city, beginning Thursday
Oct. 31st. and lasting over Sunday. Ill
churches were well represented most o
the ministers in Oregon and some from
Washington, of that denomination being
present, the lollowing ouieers were
elected for lh ensuing vear: President
Rev. A. J. Hunsaker, of McMinnville
Vice President, Rev. J. C. Richardson
Secretary. Rev. S. C. Price of .Eugene
Much important business was transacted
during the continuance of the session, ant
everything seemed to indicate that the
Baptist cause on the Northwest coast was
in a prosperous condition. Three mis
sionary s are now Kept constantly in in
field traveling from place to place organ
ising churches ami Sunday schools.
Their report was one of the most inter
esting and attractive features of the meet
ing. Also on Saturday the Women's Mis
sion Society met in tlie church. Stirring
addresses 'were made by some of the
prominent Baptist ladies of Oregon.
Among them we noticed Mrs. Henry
Warren, of McMinnville; Mrs. J. C.
Baker, of Salem; Mrs. J. T. Hut! and
Mrs. F. O. McCown, of this city. The lat
ter read a carefully prepared essay, which
it was our misfortune not to hear. The
ladies of the church resident here, and
their friends, did honor to themselves in
the quantity of good things prepared and
spread each day at noon for lunch, thus
meeting the temporal necessities of the
members of the convention. All have
now gone home well pleased with tlie
work accomplished, and our city has once
more relapsed into its usual quiet and
routine of business.

Two premiums were to be given : the first

the premiums were disposed of as fol

to Glee Ilalliday ; after which all joined in

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 31st, 1S73.
Editor Estehpiusk : Tho farmers on
tho hill have been taking advantage of the
pleasant weather in preparing their farms
for winter.
Quite a number of improvements have
been made, and new settlers are com
mencing to clear land which has been
lying unoccupied.
"Tho school-house presents a very pleas
ing appearance since it has been repainted.
The directors are said to be quite enter-
frising. They have engaged Prof. Holen
icck to teach the winter term, who seems
to give general satisfaction.
Services were conducted on last Sunday
by Bishop Morris, assisted by ltev. Mr.
Sell wood.
On last Tuesday evening was held the
first party of the "season. It was held at
Mr. Partlow's, and, like his former ones,
was a success. The evening was tine and
consequently most of Mt. Pleasant were
represented. The ' light, fantastic " was
indulged in for some time, and after
a gay little supper, most of the cruests
listened again to the strains of music pro
duced by tho violinist, who, with nine
rings on his finjers, made one almost sus
pect thero must be bells on his toes. T.
School Books.
Jones Brother & Co. publishers of
Chicago, have forwarded us copies of
their text. books for common schools
They comprise a series of arithmetics by
by Prof. Milne, principal of the State
Normal School at Genneseo, N. Y. and a
history of the United States by Prof.
Kidpath, of the Indiana Asbury Univer
sity. The history is illustrated with maps and
topographical diagrams, and in these
pages the whole history of the country,
from its discovery to the present time, is
made alive: every paragraph is freighted
with a fresh and living interest, while
every statement of fact has been verified
from' the latest and most reliable sources.
The Inductive series of the Arithmetics
embraces a complete course of practical
Arithmetic in two books, wich materially
lessens the pupils' expenditure in this
branch of study, a saving that will be ap
preciated by all patrons of schools. The

Killing a Cow Under Difficulty.
A few days since a man who does not
live a thousand miles ffoin Oregon City,
so we are informed, determined to slaugh
ter a fat cow, which had gone drj', and
lay in a supply of fresh meat, put up a
little com beef for winter and distribute
the balance among his neighbors. He
took down his rifle, which he had called
"Sure Shot," and went out to the barn
yard to get the beef. The cow .was on
hand, and after eight shots, and being
stabbed two or three times with a butcher
knife, was brought to the ground, but
was not dead. Not despairing of killing
the animal, the would-be killer rushed to
the house, secured an ax and came back
and struck the cow in the head several
times with it, when she got up and dusted.
By this time the novice was somewhat dis
gusted with his first experiment at
butchering, and obtained the services of a
neighbor, who lodged a bullet in the ani
mal's cranium which proved fatal. As to
the dilliculties in skinning and cutting up
tlie beef, we are not informed as yet.
