Mrs. Eveline Triplelt, whoso body was Lund in shallow pool of waur near her house at Hugo, 10 miles north of this city, and who was sup posed to have committed suicide, came to her death by accident, or at least late developments seem to phve such a conclusion. The hole of water in which the body of Mrs. Triplett was found did not contain more than one f"Ot of water and from all appearances j it seemed that the woman threw her self into the shallow water and delib- ! erately drowned herself. It Known that she was partially by her daughter havim? been nimmit tdtothe asylum from here a few! weeks ago. nnd it was supposed that j s'le committed the rash deed during a i tir of despondeny.

Hon. Senate and House of Represen tatives of the State of Oregon. Gentlemen : The undersigned petitioners would set forth the following facts: if.; a"c ii-iiuuriai Legislature, ol t lie I State of Oregon passed an act in the 1 session of '55-56 agreeing to pay all veterans who served in the wars of ! 1855-50 the sum of $2 ptr day for! their service. The United States paid ot tins amount about 5j cents per day for such service. The total number of days' service rendered by said vol unteers was 371,449 days. Cf this time each volunteer lost about 1 45 per day, which would make an aggro- j gate sum of about !fa2t,02i?.K). Of course, at least two-lift hs (-5) of th!s ! number have died, without having a widow or children. Of the alvo sum the state of Oregon has not paid one j cent, and has not rtdevmed its pledge j to those aged veterans, who hue! waited forty-seven years anxiously ex pecting the state either to secure this pay from the United States, or to meet their own obligations. We will further state that various territories have heretofore paid their volunteers in bute r.oiids. ami tli,.

The facts were that Campbell and his wife were not living together and Swearmgen was keeping company with one Campbell's datigii ters.
