Roseburg Review. The police officers ot Corvallis disgraced themselves and the city by their drunken rowdyism during the appearance in that city recently of a theatrical troupe. The Times gave a full account of the occur rence, with no attempt at conceal ment. The council then fired the guilty officers. Now the paper U ueing censured lor giving to the public the tacts, and the council is asked to reprimand the editor.

For myself, I was "chopped down" Ofloa, aad oaoa only, writes Charles O. D. Roberts, la 8t Nloholas. It hap pened In this way. la the midwinter of 187S, I had oooaaloi tovlilt theohiet omp of the Little Madawaska. Com ing from the otty, and to a oatnp where I wu stranger to all the men, I wu not unnaturally regarded u a pro nonnoed speolmen ot the greenhorn. I took no paint to tell any one what the boas already well knew, that is, that I had been a frequenter of theoampe from my boyhood. Many and many a neat trap wu laid for my apparently "tender" feet, but I avoided them all as if by sodden t Aa for olimbing a tree, I alwaya laughed at the idea when it was proposed to me: I always suggested that it might spoil my clothes. Before long the men, by putting little things together, eame to the conoluaion that I was an old auger; and, rather sheepish ly, they gave over their attempts to en trap me. Then I graoioualy wived my band, as It were, and was frankly re ceived as a veteran, oleand from every sutpioion of being green. At last the day oame when I eW wish to climb a tree. The oamp wu on a nigh plateau, and not far off towered a magnificent pine tree, growing out of the aummlt of a knoll in tuoh a way u to oommand all the surrounding coun try. Its branches wen phenomenally think; its girth of trunk wu magnifi cent And this tree I rewired one day to olimb, in order to get a dear idea ot the lay of the land. Of course I strolled off surreptitiously, and, u I thought, unwatched. But there I wu muoh mistaken. No aoonerwul two- thirds ot the way up the tree than, with ahouta of laughter, the lumbermen rushed out of the surrounding cover and proceeded to ohop me down. The ohance wu too good for them to lose. I concealed my annoyance, and made no attempt to descend. On the contra ry I thanked them for the little atten tion, and climbed a few feet further up, to secure a position which I saw would be a safe one tor me when the tree should fall. As I did so, I perceived, with a gup and a tremor, that I wu not alone is the tree. There, not ten feet above me, stretched at full length along a large branch, wu a huge panther, glaring with rage and terror. From the men below his form wu quite concealed. Glancing restless- lesaly from me to my pursuers, the brute seemed uncertain just what to do. As I carefully refrained from olimbing any further up, and tried to assume an air of not having observed him, he ap parently concluded that I wu not hit wont enemy. In fact, I dan say he un derstood what wu going on and real iied that be and I wen lellow-auflerors. I laughed toftly to myself as 1 thought how my tormentors would be taken aback when that panther should come down among them. I decided that, con sidering their numbers, then would be at leut no mon danger for them than that to whioh they wen exposing me in their reckless fooling. And, already in fluenced by that touch of nature which makes us to wondrous kind, I began to hope that the panther would succeed In making hit escape. The trunk ot the pine wu to thick that I might almost have reached the ground before the choppers could cut it through. Atlutitgaveamightvthud- der and tagged to one aide. I balanced myself nimbl7 on the upperside, steady ing myself by a convenient branch. The great mut of foliage, presenting a wide surxaoe to the air, made the fall a com paratively slow one; but the tremendous weep of the draught upward, u the tree-top described its gigantic arc, gave me a sickening sensation. Then came the final dull and thunderous crash, and in aa instant, I found myself standing in my place, jarred but unhurt, with the snow threshed up all about me. The next instant there wu another roar, or rather a tort of screaming yell. overwhelming tho riotous laughter of the woodsmen; and out of the confusion of pine-boughs shot the tawny form of the panther in a whirlwind of fury. One ot the choppers wu in bis path, and was bowled over like a clutu.iy nine-pin. The next bound brought the beast on to the backs of a yoke of oxen, and hit cruel olaws severely scratched the oxen't necks. As the poor animals bellowed and fell on thoir knees, the panther paused, witn aomo idea, apparently, of lighting the wbolo assembled party. But u the men, recovered from their first amuement, rushed with their axes to the rescue of tho oxon, tho panther uw that the odda wore all against him.
