Jlowe of this city, written in Evasion, Wyoming, irforms us that he has been to see the old folks at home, in Ireland, and was on hs way to Astoria, when a crazy celestial shot him, as he slept in a car on the Union Pacific railroad.which incident has laid him up at Evasion, for an indefinite period of time: still he is in hope of being al)le to reach tVs city in l-.iuc to contract for fishing-boats for Tie coming season, should any be want ;ng. Mr. Howe sas: "The shoot'.n" was done at 3 o'clock on the morning of September 22d, west of Green river. I was awakened from my slumbering by the shot which seemed to be a dream : I ubbecl my eyes a moment looked Uutf r the cuit.tins and tolfercd over in my bed to find mysellcoveveu wnn oioou, ami a lump of lead embedded between flesh and bone, which required a dose of chR form and a surgeon to extract. I had never spoken to the Chinaman, but he appeared to be impressed the idea that I was a very bad man. When I realized the situation and saw the fellow standr ing in front of me- pointihg his revolver toward me, about sjx feet a-way, I stood up to go for him, but my legs would not carry me, and I fell upon him. when he .dropped his revolver, and passengers "held on to Mm until the conductor came and. took him in charge. They were go-, ing to lynch him, but did not." Mr. IL's wound was dressed, after extracting the ball at Evaston, and the train moved on, leaving him to follQVf when sufficiently &bleto dosp..

Follow the advice given below, and you are sure to succeed in your business. Bead it ami gee if it is not sensible: '-Blow your own horn. Yes, givi it a good blast, and let modesty blush if she will. Tins false delicacy has been the stumbling block of thousands of real good and capable men. Make a noise; it will attract son ebody. Let the world know that you are alive and intend to drive things until you gel to the top of the hill and make a fortune. To the men of energy and perse venince mountains are but mole hills. -Tis only the drones that fail.. They are always looking on the black side, predicting disaster, always cotn. plaining of hard times, alwavs wait ing for something to turn up, Such men will never find good times, nor prosperity. Neither will they ever find friends or admirers among first class business men. If you would succeed in anything, don't stand still. Go ahead. Don't be afraid. Do some thing. If you don't blow the horn somebody else will, but not for your benefit except 'in a horn.' Then toot your horn, you great and small, Your right is not disputed. For he that tooteth not his horn The same shall not be tooted.-" Tire Win: at Crop. It is estimated that the entire wheat crop of the country will aggregate the present year 325,00G -000 bushels.
