Scientists claim that great waves of 'bought, plagues, earthquakes, etc., strike tho people of this globe, over which they, the people, have no control. By our exeh inges we should judge that a wave of murder had struck a consider­ able number ot the people of Oregon. The following is from the Goldendale Sen inel. Arlington, May 23. A foul murder was committed near this city some lime last week, in a lone cabin on the bunch grass, where it was discover­ ed only last Sunday morning. The murdered man is Thus.
