A large amount of iron from the rnins of buildings destroyed by the late lire at Grants Pass was bought up by junk dealers to Portland and was recently shipped to tho rolling mills there. At the same time the safe of the Sugar Pine Lumber Coniiutiy, which had been through tho lire, was shipped to agent Davis, of the Dichold Safe & Is-k Oomiiany, to 1st ri'imircd if possible, and if not, that a valuable burglar-proof chest ill it might be saved. n some way the safe got among the junk, and the junk dealer's men, it s.ieniH, decided to make junk of it. The consequence was that v. lien it came to the hands of agent DaH, a day or two ago, it was in had condition, llm hing' S having ls-en broken off, the door removed and the moldings and ornamental work on the front broken and mostly removed, mid the general appearance of the safe most disreputable. The only thing to be done was to house it and try to get the burglar-proof chest, which is valuable, out of it. This job Mr. (laris now has in hand, and his opinion of the fellows w ho got the door off the safo is that they are van dals and that they were trying to get into the safe in hoio of finding valu ables there. wanted!

A GRANTS PASS TOAD. Grants Pass can put its toads op with any iu tho world. A Courier man can vouch for this, for ho holds tho proof. A few days ago he saw a big Grants Pass toad attempt to catch a bird; aud he (tho Courier man, not the toad) wasn't drunk either, at the time. Tho circumstance hapis'Ued down 011 the banks of Roguo river. A little Chickadee, or some such similar bird was hopping anout on the ground aud found himself suddenly courontedby a largo toad of the liorus-Jnmpus species. The big toad looked birdie square iu the eye and birdie was hyp uotized and finder tho big toad's in fluence ero he was aware. Then the toad bogau to creep uisiu his prey, but never for an instant releasing his gaze on birdie. Liku a cat, the toad crept nearer aud then "gathering all his strength for tho final spring, " as the story books say about tho tigers, tho toad liaH'd into the air and came down pounce on birdie's back. But tho toad lacked the claws and other necessary implements for holding on. Tho sudden jar brought birdie to his senses aud with a few wild shrieks, a sasmodio flutter or two and flew away into the sky, leaving the Courier man with cold inspira tion wetting his brow.
