A Duel.--After reading the account of the duel between the cougar and the deer on the line of the O. P., Guild, of the Sil verton Afvat immediately wrote up the following ycry sensational duel : "On Tuesday last, as John Stubbs ol Canary Ridge was hunting over on the headwaters of Beaver Creek he observed a wild-cat out in a little prairie near by, apparently having an interesting time with another object, The cat was running In a circle and every once in a while would jump clear of all fours and give vent to a revengeful howl of terror or pain. So engrossed was the cat with its strange orgies that Stubbs ap proached within forty feet of it, and hid himself behind a tree. Presently the hunt er saw what the matter was with the wild cat. In the center of tiic opening was a big spotted snake, fully as long as a fence rail, which, when the cat came near it, would make a wicked charge, generally inflicting a wound, which caused the cat to widen the circle, and to give a ludicious howl. The cat's tongue was protruding and the animal seemed nearly exhausted. The snake seemed very much excited and its eyes gleamed with" rage. The cat seemed halllcd to know how to proceed, and in the meantime the poison from the snakes fangs had swollen its head and body to nearly twice the ordinary size. Finally, tiring of the show,Stubbs shot the cat, which was showing signs of having a lit, and next turned his attention to the snake. At the third shot Stubbs shot its bead off, and up on examination found it to measure ten feet and seven Inches, with a circumference at the largest part of the body of eight in ches." Their Mt.Trip Eniki. Messrs. Funk Bros., Chase and Campbell, with their fam ilies returned to Albany last evening and will go to Portland and thence to their Cali fornia homes near Stockton by way of the Pacific Ocean. The gentlemen informed a Democrat man that they had had a most enjoyable experience, and were delighted with what they had seen and done. They went beyond the Three Sisters, were at the Mctolcus, saw the same gorges made by the tears of ages that Close saw, and one day the rain fell and raised the smoke, and for two days they witnessed some grand sights. They killed two bears, an elk, (no fiction,) and all the deer thev wanted, besides catch ing fish and fish. They were much pleas ed with the general hospitality of people wherever they went, and pronounce our country a good one, though they think our farmers do not farm as thoroughly as in California. Clear Lake they consider the most remarkable body of water they have ever seen. The Democrat is glad to know that these gentlemen, among the most prominent citizens where they reside, will return home with good reports and well sat isfied with their trip. Will bk Moused.

Mr. Race, of the St, Charles hotel, has shown us a peach taken fiomatrecln the rear of the hotel that measures n'i Inches In circumference and weighs scven-eigths of a pound.
