STARVING A SNAKE our OF MANS

SrApvtNc A SNAKE OUT OF A MANS
sroMAcH.-A correspondent at Fenton-
Vile, Michigan, transmits to us aver''a-
BILE snake story-one which appears on
its face to be very extravagant, but which
we believe 10 be true, as the author IS
entirely reliable. A man residing IN
that vicinity, by the name OF Beach, VINO
is about thirty-one years of age, has
been troubled with pain in his stomach.
If he drank liquor the animal would
seem 10 become drunk. This he Judged
from the fact that it remained perfectly
quiet until the effects of the spirits wore
off. At times, when he partook OF food
offensive to the animal, it would become
agitated and roll about with motion
which could be felt by placing the hand
upon the stomach.
Having tried many physicians without
being relieved, Beach was induced to ap-
ply to a German doctor, who recommend
ed the process of starving the intruder
out. This advice was adopted, and the
patient succeeded in inducing the animal
to come up into his throat, but for fear OF
strangulation he swallowed vinegar and
drove it back. For four months means
were tried to relieve the mans stomach
of its unwelcome guest, and fianally, on
Friday of last week, he passed an entire
snake, measuring just three feetin length.
1t was somewhat decomposed, and had
evidently lost four or five inches of its
tail. As to its original size our cores
pondent cannot determine. Its head
measured crosswise just one inch and a
quarter. Its teeth were about one eighth
of an inch long. From the formation Of
the head, the CORES pondent thinks the
reptile is of the common water-snake
species.
The man is now doing well, and is ii
good spirits in consequence of being re.
lieved of bis hideous tormentor. Oul
correspondent who is we'll known to us
and in whose assurance we can place the
utmost confidence, is known to all the
facts we have stated above.-Sandssskg

sion of the State legislature this month.
This, however, on account of our non
admission at the last session of Congress,
was deemed improper, and accordingly
the Territorial legislature will hold its
regular session of sixty days, converting
in December next.
l see from many Of the home papers,
that the Frazer river gold discovery has
created an intense excitement in many
localities, and as near as can judge, ii
has been even as great as it was in Cali
fornia at the time of the discovery. Cal
ifornia never before witnessed so great
an excitement from any cause, nor so i'm
mediate depopulation. The rush was
almost incredible, and totally unaecount-
able. Every old condemned steamer
that had lain upon the docks for years,
and every sailing craft at command, were
mustered and brought into service to con-
vey the excited and half-crazed gold ad
venturers and their mining traps TO the
new Caledonia. The alarming exodus
from California at one time bid fair TO to-
tally depopulate the State, and those who
remained stood aghast and frightened at
the aspec.. While this state of things
existed there, we in Oregon were all pur-
suing the even tenor of our way. Bust
ness continued steady, apparently little
interrupted by the effect of the discovery.
California took the fever first, and our
people wisely concluded to stay at home
and witness the result of their labors.-
And the effect has been most salutary TO
US, but very hurtful to California. A
very large majority of those who LEFT
California returned again within few
months, and in as eager haste as they
left. Many still remain in the mines and
in neighboring localities, some upques-
tionably doing very well, while others
are doing nothing, and others again are
waiting for the fall of the river, hoping to
find new and richer diggings. As yet
none have been discovered sufficiently
extensive to invite and justify large num-
bers of people going there to mine
And those who go there and remain, do
it almost at the peril of their lives, on
account of the attacks from Indians, and
the severe inclemency of the weather.
l think but very few will run the hazard
of remaining in the mines this winter,
unless more paying diggings are discov-
cred ere its approach. OREGON.

Dreadful Suicide.

1t becomes our melancholy duty TO re-
cord one of the most distressing as well
as singular suicides of which we have a
knowledge. On Saturday night last, Mr..
Alonzo L. Clark of this town, young
man aged about twenty-five years, COM
United suicide by hanging; the circum-
stances of which, as near as we can learn
them, are as follows: He ate his dinner
as usual, appeared very cheerful, played
awhile with his wife and sister, then call
ed his wife into the pantry and kissed her,
went up stairs and got Bride and put
it in bis pocket; when he came down ms
wife asked him what he had in his peck
ct; he answered, " a pair of mittens,
and went TO the barn, and it Is supposed
hung himself soon after, although he was
not discovered until about dark. The
rein was put through a ring in the horse
barn used for tying horses, moose made
in one end and put around his neck, and
one in the other end attached to the scro-
turn, and the demented man swung
bimself from the block upon which he
stood and was left to die in that most hor-
rible manner. His suferings must have
been agonizing in the extreme, for he
chose a death more terrible than a death
by fire. He was a young man of more
than ordinary activity, and was quite
bright in conversation. He had been
married nearly year, and leaves wife,
parents and sisters distracted at his Ia
inevitable death. He was an only son.
He was unquestionably insane.

The ELECTIoNs.-The official returns
Of the New York election, comprising all
but four counties, shows that the Repub-
lican vote is Jitty-eight thousand larger
than it was last year. The majority re-
mains almost precisely as we before re-
ported, and the ultimate result will differ
very little. The American vote is ten
thousand behind what it was last year,
and shows falling off of one-half since
1856.
In the Sd Congressional District Of
New Jersey, Hon. G. B. Adrain, anti
Lecompton Democrat, supported by the
opposition generally, has SO majority.
How well the 9th Congressional Dis
trict Of Illinois is entitled to the appella-
ton of Egypt may be Judged from the
vote at the late election. 1t stood, Re-
publican, 1888; Douglas Democrat, a.
$40.
The official returns of California for
Congressman are as follows: w. L. bud.
ley, A. L. d, $40 James McKibben
A. L. d., 1888; E. p. Tracy, Rep.
1898. The regular Lecompton Democ
racy did not nominate candidats for Con
gress, contending that, by law, Congress
men must be elected next year instead o
this, and it is probable that the right o
Alessrs. Dudley and McKibben to take
and hold their seats as Congressman viii
be contested,

Downs Elixir.

1t gives us unalloyed pleasure 10 speak
a good word in favor of this celebrated
medicine which has been before the peo-
pie for more than twenty years, and when
taken in time has hardly ever failed to
effect a cure of the diseases for which it
is recommended. Many medicines ofthe
day-gotten up by protested quacks who
never entered a doctors Office in their
lives, and who do not know the medicinal
properties of one half the roots or herbs
they pretend to compound-come into
existence, and through the venal in
f1uence of corrupt press, are pulled into
notoriety, have a short run of few
months, until the truth comes to light, and
the nostrums are removed from the
shelves of the druggists shop, perhaps TO
be replaced by others no better than
their predecessors. Downs Elixir is not
one of these. Ii Is not a nostrum, for 1t
has stood the test of a quarter of CEN
fury, and it is more popular to-day than
when it was first introduced to the pub
lie. Beware of Curtis counterfeit. j.

commencement of the session by full re-

aration. The department has received
full information in regard to the proceed
ings of the Congress lately held at Hano-
yer in regard to transit duties. The
meeting did not result in any action, and
it is said that propositions for abolishing
the duties were defeated by the influence
of Prussia. Our Minister at Berlin,
Gov. Wright, has made full eommuni-
cations on the subject to this Govern

The eleventh article of our treaty with
Hanover, made in 1916, provides that
the treaty shall continue in force for

PoTAToE RoT.-It was observed in a
potatoe growing region in Vermont this
season that those fields are most affected
with rot which were most covered with
weeds. Whether the land was wet or
dry and whatever the kind of potatoe
was which grew on it, if the hill was COW
cred or badly shaded with chick-weed,
barn-grass, or any other weed, there were
sure to be several potatoes rotten-and
when they were clean there were but few
rotten. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
the weeds cause the decay, but facilitate
it, and where it is once introduced, per-
haps it is propagated faster. 1t would
seem to be economical to hoe and hoe till
all the weeds should be killed. think
also the potatoe should be MANFRED with
vegetable and strawy manure in the hill,
and large place made to be filed with
potatoes. If then the seed be placed
near the top of the ground, they will not
less than if differently situated. Who
will try the experiment another year.

ToUGHESING INFANTs.--A writer
on physiological subjects, in Biackaoood,
gives the following advice to mothers on
the ADORE subject:
d" Maternal instinct has in all ages and
in all climates taught women to keep
their infants warm. Philosophers have
at various times tried, by logic and rhet-
oric, to thwart this instinct. Philosophy
has been eloquent on the virtue of max
ing infants hardy and has declared
that cold baths and slight clothing must
be as Strengthening to the infant as to
the adult. Listen to none of these phi
losophers, We mothers They are to be
suspected when they are talking physio-
logy, for under circumstances they are
the worst of guides, deceiving themselves
and you by that fatal facility which intel
lectual power gives them of making
ignorance look like knowledge, and of so
speciously arraying absurdity that 1t
looks like plain common sense. 1t is
bad, very bad, to listen to grandmothers,
mothers in-law and nurses, for their
heads are mostly mere lumber rooms Of
crotchets and absurdities but it is better
sometimes to listen to them than to phi
losophers who inspire more respect, and
cannot irreverently be treated as old
women Maternal instinct must not be
perverted by such unphysiological teach
ing as that of hardening infants. 1t is
true that strong infants can endure this
process, but it is certain that in all cases
it is more or less injurious for the uni
versal law is that the younger the animal
the feebler its power Of resisting cold, in
spite of its possessing higher tempera-
ture than the adult"
