6 TI1K OKEGON STATKSMAN: JTltlDAV, AUGUST 20. 1880. FKOM FHIDAY'S DAILY. Took Him kok a "Greknrb."-- There h a fellow doing the country with a lot of tuples of English tweeds ("?), etc., who imagines he is very "smart," ami that very boily else in the country is a "suck r." Ho never labored under such a wearying delusion before in his life. A fay or two since he entered a business fliee, on the east side of Commercial treet, in this city, and, evidently, after a few minutes' conversation, nude up his mind that the young man behind the counter was a ''greener." Now, just why he made up his mind in lli.it way is not known ; but he did it. Alter show ing several patterns of hi snide tweeds. nd not producing any thin-; lh.it seemed to satisfy the y. m. behind the counter," lie leaned over, and whispered in a very confidential way, after taking a good look round "1 say; if you will come to the hotel at 5 o'elocU 'this evening, I will how you some line good). I have had them laid away for some follows who 'wanted to buy them ; but if you will come down, I will let you see the foods!" It is perhaps not necessary to atate that the "y. m." tumbled to the fellow's raeket, and did not go to "see the goods." Accident at Albany: Yesterday af emoon a distressing accident occurred at the Oregon Pacific railroad bridge sito, where a force of men are en jaed in driv ing pilesin the river for the pii)rj of the hridge. T'.H. Iaw, a workman, employ ed at tripping the hauimer, on the pile driver, wag sitting on the small platform ased for that purpose, when, as the ham mer tell, the steel tripping bar caught tjhder the hummer, carrying it down with great force. The end of the bar truck the unfortunate man, penetrating the scrotum, and pinning him fast where fce sat. The steel bar passed through a piece of timber five inches thick, and truck several inches into another timber, The helpless man was compelled to re main thus impaled until other workmen came to his assistance, and, with a saw and chisel, cut the bar out of the timber, liberating him. Medical aid was at once summoned, Dr. J. L. Hill arriving soon after the injured man had been assisted down from his perilous position. He was taken to his room at the Revere house, and last evening was resting cem fortahly, though the injury is by no means slight one. I Herald. An Old Rklic. Fred. Norris and one r two others found an old ledger kicking round the streets yesterday afternoon, and handed it in to The Astorian office. It is a curiosity. It is the account book of the Marine Gazette, published in As toria, Oregon, in the vear 1804. That was the first paper ever published in CUiop county of which we have any knowledge. On the pages of the old ac count lX)k are many names familiar as feeing those of present residents. There are a good mauy entries ot what are (railed "legal tenders," it appearing that legal tenders in those davs were worth filty cents each. One item in the ex 7e11.se account, says: "Paid for four cordsof wood, tS," and the next, "paid for boating and hauling same $12." Its time-stained pages are interesting and the book itself seems to float shove the waves like a pennant fluttering at the maslhead of a submerged generation. Astorian. At Coos Bay. The water became brackish at J. M. Davis' place, forks of Coos river, sis weeks earlier this vear than usual. It is another evidence of the fact that more salt water has been coming , into Coos bay lately than in past yean. x tier a u no doubt whatever that the government work at Rocky Point has brought about this state of a flairs. Of late years, clams, barnacles, and other hell fish have been gradually working np the bay, and, at the present time, can be found up the sloughs as far as twenty miles from the entrance to the bay. One reason of this is, that the ioint of the North Spit, which was a formidable bar rier, has been cut away by the action of the water thrown against it by the sea wall, thus faciliating the ingress of more water. The bar has also been much deeper, and remained go for a longer per iod, than ever before. The Coos Ray Kews eays that all these changes are from the effect of the government works, t the mouth of the bav. 8tolbi HbkSKh. Z. XV. Lockwood, living near Centervilie, several weeks ago hired a horse and a mule to a man w ho had worked for him, by thenameof Eani st Horton, to be worked on a threshing outfit. Nothing was thought of the mat ter until l,ockwood, several days ago found the mule in the possession of John Walker.a neigh bor, who informed him that be had traded a horse for the mule with Horton.

About Skttiso Fires. Several farm er living near the city have called at this wffiee and made complaint against the hunters from town who get fire to stand ing timber and go off carelessly leaving the fires burning. One farmer, in partic ular, who lives about three miles south ast of town, says that somebody set fire oa very pitchy lir tree on Ins farm about a week ago, and that the fire spread and required his utmost endeavors to keep it from getting into his grain fields. Any one w ho does this is liable to the owner of the property for all damage done by the tire, and to the state for criminality, the crime being trespass. This paper would, therefore, kindly suggest to hunt ers and others that they be very careful in the matter of fires while out. Care lessness may get one into as much trouble as intent, if one does not iook ent. Curious Case. A curious case of poi (orringis reported from a logging camp en North Coos river. For some time meniljersof the camp were affected with symptoms such as are occasioned by poi on. Several men at various times were disabled for a while, and all suffered more or less from its effects. It was dis covered finally that the trouble was cause d by uing tea from a chest lined Willi lead. OREGON APPROPRIATIONS.

GolNQ TO HAKE EXHIBITS. A STATES MAN representative has cast the question, "Are you going to exhibit anything at the state fair this year?" at soveral farm ers during the last few days, and, invar iably, the answer has been in the affirm ative. Each one has some specialty that he wants to show to his neighliors and friends, and the state fair gives him a chance for making such an exhibition, without very much trouble, to each and es-eryone of them. Most ot the Marion countv farmers, who take any pride in their farms, in the products of their farms, and, lastly, who have any pride 111 their home county and state, will make good exhibits, and each will try to make an exhibit that will fully eclipse that of his neighbor, that is right, and is the right spirit. Let each exhibitor come prepared to excel his neighbor in quality and quantity of exhibits, Let your show be ample, and let it contain the best samples to be procured. The com ming state fair can only be a success, by its having attractive exhibits, and that is what this paper wants to see it have Let every farmer in the surrounding country, every business man in balom, every housewife, every bodv exhibit something, even if it is only their pros ence, at the coming state fair. ClllNttKK DlSINTUKMENT. SaVS the As- torian : Hong Too, general bone gather er for the Sam Tup company, called on Coroner Ross for assistance in digging up the dead Chinamen in Astoria who had been members of bis gang aud who had died here in 1S81. Two were found and their remains disinterred. Hong Too has leen down through Southern California digging up defunct Chinamen and ship ping the bones back to China, irom here he goes to Portland, The Dalles etc., and wherever he can find the grave of a Chinaman belonging to the nam Yuu company, who died in 1881, the bones are sent away, .The box provided for the bones is ten inches deep, fourteen inches wide and five feet ten inches long. It is zinc lined. A white cloth is laid in the bottom, on this the bones are laid aud the top soldered on, after which the box is marked for the district of China it is going to and sent to San Francisco, there to fx r -hipped across the Pacific. A Chinaman after death is allowed to re main in the ground about five years, after which the bones must go back to China. Hong Too says that an agent ot another Chinese company who have a large number buried here will be up shortly, when there will be another lot of Chinese cadaver to send away. Dkovk into tkk Slol'gii. Yesterday forenoon, James Valby, who drives the delivery wagon for John Hughes, had some cemont to deliver near the mouth of Mill creek, near the Salem flouring mills. He drove down past the flouring mills, and to the rear of the warehouse, and was told that the cement was want ed on the south side of the creek. Thinking he could ford easily, and not wishing to drive around by the bridge Valby drove into the slough just at the mouth of the creek, and the first thing he saw was a general disappearance of horse, wagon, and driver, all at the same time. Valby, when he came up, had presence of mind enough, and sufficient ability as a swimmer, to cut the horse loose and let him swim out, and then get out himself. The express wagon and its "cargo" of cement were also fished out yesterday afternoon, and now all is serene again. ISut, it is likely that when every Mr. Valby wants to ford the mill rac( below the Salem flouring mills, aain, that he will drive back up the hill and drive across ihe bridge, which is not so deep, nor so wet, rather than trust to the donblful depths of the Mfll creek and Willamette slough combination. Hops. It is reported that some buyers over on the Sound are paying thirty-five cents er pound for- hops. This is the highest price yet reported paid. HON. A. A. McCULLY Kicked to Death by a Horse, at His Farm, iu Yamhill County. Particulars. This paper, in its edition of Friday morning, informed its readers that Hon. Asa A. McCully had been kicked by a horse i but it did not contain any partic ulars of the accident that has since prov ed fatal, and that has cast such a deep gloom over the entire city. Mr. McCully left this city about two weeks ago, with A. B. Croasman and their families, for a few days' summering on Nestucca bay. They were on their way home, and had arrived at Mr. Mc Cully's farm the old Palmer place about four miles from Dayton, Yamhill county, and eighteen miles from this citv, at about 4 o'clock that afternoon. They put their horses in the stable- to lot them rest a little while before feeding. About 5 o'clock, Mr. McCully went into the stable for something, and the next thing known by any mortal ho was car ried out mangled and bleeding. It is supposed he took out his pocket knife to cut offa chew of tobacco, as h small piece, not yet masticated, wa found in his mouth, and had dropped it, which was found in the stall nfter the tragedy. He evidently had stooped to to pick up the knife, and the horse kicked him in the back, knocking him down. The ladies, at the house, heard the noif-e, and sent Air. Croasman out to see what was the matter. He at once gave the alarm, and his brotherin-law Abe L. McCully came to his assistance. The body was taken up and carried into the house, and physicians weie summoned from McMinnville and Amitv. It was thought that the body had only received slight bruises and a glancing kick on the head, when the first examination was made, and, although he was unconscious when picked up, and remained so, the physicians thought for while that there might be some change for Mr. McCully to rally, at least. Mr. Croasman started at once for this city, arriving here about 10:45 p. in., Thursday night. He at once started back with Dr. C. H. Hall, J. D. McCully, and Mrs. Crane, the latter two being a son and daughter of the unfortunate man. But, when they arrived at the farm, on their return, at 1 o'clock, yesterday morn ing, they found that the breath of life had departed from the body, and nothing but the cold, clammy clay of mortality remained. Asa A. McCully died at 10 o'clock Thursday night. A post-mortem exam ination of the body revealed the fact that two ribs were broken, as well as both shoulder blades, and that the entire skull above and in front 01 the right ear, was ciushed. Thus is taken, without warning, one ot the be.st men that ever lived in Marion county. No one commanded more re spect in business or in social life; and to him this state owes much he having been one of her pioneers, and having done much to aid in her development. Horn in the province of New Brunswick in 1S18, he moved with his parents to Ohio in 1823. Learned the trade of mak ing fanning mills when young and worked at this business for nine years in the Buckeye state. He afterward removed to Burlington, Iowa, and was engaged in merchandising there, and iu New Lon don. He crossed the plains to California in 1843 with ox teams, and, although four long weary months on the journey, the whole train of twenty-three wagons and teams, sixty-five men and one woman, came through in good health, and with out loss of property a thing to cause a good deal ot congratulation in those days. In 1850, he returned to Iowa, but the western feyer caused him to leave bis home there again in 1852, and this time Harrisburg, Oregon, was the end of his journey. Here be located a claim, and later built the first house in Harrisburg, and gave to that place its name. That same year he returned to Iowa, and brought 150 bead of cattle overland, ship ping also, a stock of merchandise "around the horn" from Philadelphia. In 1863, Mr. McCully moved to Salem, and in 1804 was elected president of the People's Transportation company, an or ganization that did the bulk of the pas senger and freight business on the upper Willamette for many years, and, in fact, exercising complete control over it. This position be held un 11 the locks were built at Oregon City, when Bon Holladav purchased the line. In 1800 Mr. McCul ly represented Linn county in the legis lature. He has been a member of the common council in this city at several times, but Mr. McCully did not care par ticularly for an official life. When in office, though, he always did his duty and tried to serve his constituency hon estly and honorably, tie was vice-president of the Capital National bank, and a member of Salem Ixjdgo, No. 4, A. F. and A. M., at the time of his death. Mr. McCully was the second among four brothers, who survive him ; Samuel Mc Cully, who lives at Harrisburg, leing the oldest, and John W. McCully, at Joseph, David McCully, who lives bore, and Harn McCully, at Joseph, Union county, being the youngest. He leaves, besides his loving wife, two sons, John D. and Abe L. McCully, and two daughters, Mrs. W. B. Crane and Mrs. A. B. Croasman, to receive the sympa thies of his innumerable host of friends. He also left a daughter, Mrs. M. J. Love, living at Harrisburg. Throughout a long and useful career in both public and private life his conduct was ever characterized by an evident purpose of making all around him hap py ; liberal and cheerful in his charities, benevolent without ostentation, many a faltering band has been strengthened, many throbbing hearts bowed in adversi ty and misfortune have been cheered by his kindly advice and more substantial offices, which endear him to a multitude who knew him but to love him. This sad and untimely taking off is a bereavement extending in its influence far beyond the limits of the immedi ate family, who can feel assured of the deepest sympathy of the entire commu nity. To Y.msa it to Sal. It is stated that the immigration car will be brought to Salem for a few hours on Monday to allow the citizens here to see the car and its arrangements under the charge of Mr. I'rettyman before it is started on its jour ney east. THE RACES. "Laura I).," the Church Mare, "Katie Wiuters," and '"Badger Hoy" Win the Races. The crowd at the races at the fair grounds track Friday afternoon was not so large as on the previous Friday, but It was "more select" and enthusiastic. Pools sold rather lively for the small crowd, and a good deol of money changed hands. There were about 130 people present. The programme was rather long, two trotting and two running races, and con sumed nearly four hours. Judges, I!. W. Jeffrey and Win. Ander son, Salem ; Dave Malonoy, Indepen dence.

Work on thk Oiikgon Pacific Work is being pushed forward raph'.ly on the Oregon Pacific between this city and Cor vallis, and the piles are now being driven for the piers of the bridge across the Willamette at this city. The grading between Albany and Oorvallis is nearly completed, and the most of the trestling, up to the long one adjoining the river at Albany, is ready to receive the ties and rails. One pile-driver is now at work at the other end of this trestle, and another will be put to work in a fow days. This, with a new driver which is now being placed in ignition for driving on the river, will make four pile-drivers at work on this end of the road. Track laying, we are informed, will begin next week. The most of the timbers for the bridge are already framed, and with the large force of bands now employed the work will move forward rapullv. the Three Sisters brought down a load of bridge iron and material yesterday, 1111 loading at the Bite of the bridge. Her aid. Tan First Cask on Kkcohd. The Al bany Democrat "man about town" solilo quizes thus : "One of the best sights the M. A. T. has seen lately was that of a neighbor driving down the protruding nails in his sidewalk. This is supposed to be the first case on record. It is an example worthy of emulation." This paer agrees with its Albany cotemiwra ry that such an example is worthy of em ulation. In this city, esiiecially, would such an action be appreciated, for trulv more "real good men" are doomed to eternal "scorching" from a too free ex pression of their feelings after stubbing the front end of their boots on these nails that stick up in the walk, than are sent to sheol by all other means. For the sake of many thousands of tired and suffering Immunity, let each property owner get out some morning, bright and early, and "lay up treasures' for hitnsell in heaven" by driving down the nails in hie fifty feet of sidewalk. ilia htatk fAiK. ihe vtasco nun iu speaking of the coining state fair says : "The magnificent programme of this so ciety cannot fail to fill our highland jieo- ple with enthusiasm to try to give it sam pies of our cattle, sheep, wool, horses, and various industries, and to visit this great state show, to help enlargo its use fulness, and finally establish it as the grand instrument and agent of our state's progress. Our own agricultural lair in Y asco will be so late that it will give ample time for recuperation of such stock and horses as go to Salem to the state show before the Wasco agricultural fair comes off, which must receive all of our efforts. There must be co-ojx;ration among societies and localities in one grand state society, which every farmer and industrial worker of Oregon shall bi proud of." Railroad Lkaseu. The Spokane and Palouse railwav has been leased to the Northern Pacific railroad for a iK.-riod of nioetv-nine vearn, a copy of the lease le- ing filed in the auditor's office of Wash ington Territory, for record, August 4th. The document was hied for record in Spokane county on the 30th tilt. The bonds of the Spokane and Palon.se rail way have len taken by the Farmers' Loan and Trust company, of New York, at $16,000 per mile, the amount for tin. forty three miles constructed this season being $088,000. the loan is secured by a mortgage. Accidknt at Shkio. Hiram, the 14 year old son of R. Farwell, of Shedd, met with quite un accident on . last Saturday afternoon. He wastinharnessing a horse, when the animal, which was a very frac tious one, suddenly kicked him, breaking both bones of his right leg, just above the ankle, and otherwise, bruising his face and body considerably.-. He was ulone at the time, but his screams soon brought assistance. Silvkr Wedding. 1801 : Melbourne, Australia 1880: Salem, Oregon. The friends of Elder J.

Tilmon Ford to this city, after a three weeks' cruise in California. While gone, Mr. Ford saw all of that great state that presents any attractions to the average tourist. Mr. Ford went via 1 aquina, and returned overland. He went down there to see the sights, and his timo was limited. Arriving lit San Francisco, Mr. Ford, with the other Sa lem boys, wont to the Baldwin hotel for dinner. Mr. Ford was not used to the table d'hote, so the numerous delays be tween the courses seouiud to him a waste of valuable time that might have been spent in viowing the city. At last, after about three-quarters of an hour hail been consumed, and the diners appeared no nearer to dessert than at the commence ment of the meal, Mr. Ford called a waiter to him and asked: "I say; how much longer will this thing last?" He was informed that dinner had been about half served. Then Mr. Ford, thoroimhlv disgusted with the upparent waste o( time, said: "Well, see here! I am Til Ford from Salem, Oregon from Sai.km, Oregon! I came here to San Francisco to see your town, and not to spend all my time waiting for your cooks to get dinner. Why," continued Mr. Ford, "we've got a restaurant up there in Sa lem, Oregon, where a man can iro in. or der his dinner, gift it cooked, and eat it, all 111 tllteen minutes. Of course the joke waB enjoyed by ull those at the ta ble. Ooino To Kxiiimr, Space has been engaged by several of Salem's merchants already, and they will make excellent ex hibits at the state fair. This is rurht. and what thu Sr atksman wants to see. It also wants to see. the merchants of Portland, if there are anv of them with as much enterprise as a goat, get in and make good exhibits as well. The comine fair will be a success without their exhib its, but they are wanted to show their iin- preciation of a state institution, anyway. The state board would do well to secure the services of some active man, and navo turn .mane a collection trom over the state, of grains, grasses, and produce of all kinds, to be exhibited in addition to the private exhibits that will lie made. This same man could then lie given charge of the floral exhibits durimr the lair ; tor, unless some one is put in the horticultural hall to look out for tlunra. ami to prevent vandalism, it will lie very difficult to secure a really good exhibit of Ilotvers. this paper holies tho board will do this and try to, thereby, insure a good agricultural exhibit. Aptkk Many Days. Parties who had goods thrown overboard from the Queen of the Pacific, when Bhe was stranded at the mouth of the Columbia nearly three years ago, will be pleased to learn from an advertisement in another column. says the Oregouian, that the adjuster is now ready to pay their claims on the general avera,(o. The vuluo of goods jettisoned was about $05,000. Owners of these goods will receive 70 per cent, of the amount of their losses. Many who have liec-n waiting these three years will doubtless find the money very accept able, and can exclaim, "Cast your goods upon the waters, and you will get your general average nfter many days." Among thu many to whom this news'will be pleasant, is a largo number of Salem merchants, the amount of their claims being, in themselves, canal to a uood- sued fortune. Ninety Modocs Left. A recent is sue of the Sacramento Record-Union had the following : There arrived here from Indian territory yesterday morning seven Modoc Indians, five bucks and two squaws: P. McCarty, Charley Miller, Jim Long, Samuel Clinton, Dave Miller, Mrs. Clinton, and Miss R. A. Teller, who have received permission from the gov ernment to leave tjuapavo agency, In dian territory, aud return to California and the Klamath reservation. .They went up to Redding on the 8:30 a. m. en route to their destination. They say that the Modocs have received considera ble education, and have improved in some respects during their residence in the place of exile, but they have failed in health, and dwindled in numbers, until now but ninety of them remain. Reduction Works. Next Monday ar ticles of incorporation for the Portland reduction works will be filed. The capi tal stock will Iks $50,000; shares, $100 each. The incorporators are Maj. W. A.

A Team Ruhr Away, and Throws the Chinaman Behind the Horses Coroner's Verdict. About 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Dr. W. C. Warinner, the coroner, was in formed that the dead body of a China man was lying in the road, at, or near the Eldridge' place, twelve miles north of this city, and that his services were needed. Dr. Warinner went down, und returned about 10 o'clock last evening, with tho following facts: The Chinaman's name was Sam Chung; he had been working for Jamea Eldridge. He was driving a team, and started off towards his home yesterday afternoon, when the bridle came off 0110 of his horses, scaring the animal, and the team Btarted to run. The Chinaman pulled back on the horse with the bridle on, throwing that horse back, so that the wagon ran up against it. This frighten ed the second horse, and it began to kick. The Chinaman", in some wav, was pulled over the dash board behind the kicking horse, and was killed instantly. The team stopied running a few yards further on. The body will probably be sent to Portland for burial, as two other Chinamen bad charg of it.

A. Kent bus commenced proceedings against District Attorney Colvig to oust him from the office he now holds by virtue of the will of the people of this judicial district, expressed at tho polls, on June 7th, says the Jacksonville Times. Mr. Kent brings up nothing now in the com plaint, advancing only the exploded argu ment that Mr. Colvig did not qualify in the time prescribed by law, and alleges that he (Kent) therefore holds over and is entitled to the position. The' case will be tried at the October term of the circuit court for this county. In the meantime Mr. Colvig will discharge the duties of his office, and we expect the court to de cide that he shall continue to do so for the balance of the two years. A Peculiar Find.

Andrews, were plaving in the tied of the creek, and discovered a purt of a wooden tiox exposed in a sand tied. They soon uncovered the box, which was about two feet long, six inches deep, and fourteen wide. Thev could not lilt it, but called their father, who, oiiening tho box, found it tilled with ox shoes.
