tneir escape. Alex. Gallafer, who was Sc
riously wounded by John S. Fairman at Pros
pect on the 10th, is convalescing, and viii
probably recover. Mr.. Oliver of Fairvew,
met with a serious, and perhaps fatal accident
near Adams post Office in Armstrong county.
He observed horse in buckwheat field, and
in attempting to put him out, struck him with
the butt end of loaded gun which he had in
his hand, when it went off, lodging a heavy
charge of shot in his abdomen. Six shots were
extracted from the wound which bled profuse
ly. 1t is feared that Mr.Oiver cannot survive.
CLARION CoUNTY.-On the evening of the
14th inst, little son of Anderson Davis, who
resided near Mum Martins saw mill in Per-
ry township, carried an armload of pine sha-
wings into the house, while his mother was
absent for bucket of water. On her return
she found the child enveloped in flames; his
clothing was entirely burned off, and although
medical aid was Immediately procured, the
little sufferer died the next morning.
MERCER CouNTY.-Madison Miner, aged a.
bout eighteen years, residing with Martin
Mclean, of Fairview township, seeing hawk
among the chickens, on the 10th inst, took
down a gun for the purpose of shooting it, and
to ascertain whether it was loaded, placed his
mouth on the muZZle, when it went off, shoot
ing him through the head and killing him in
stantly.
GREENE CouNrY.-On the 10Th inst,, Mr..
Arthur Mooney was found in the road near
Mr.. Bradford's in Franklin township, horribly
mutilated, having been thrown from high
spirited horse which he was riding, from tho
effects of which he died about midnight. He
was unmarried, 2S years OF age, and resided
with his mother in Whitley township.

Popular Sovereignty in 1881 The dem

ocratic doctrine of popular sovereignty,
as early as 1881 was recognized by the
greatest statesmen Of the age-such as
Benton, Sias Wright, Calhoun, Clay, etc
The following resolution, introduced into
the senate Of the United States in 1881
by Henry Clay, received the cordial sup
port Of those statesmen
Re'olrsd, That any attempt of Congress to abol
sh slavery in territory of the United States in which
it exists, would create serious alarm and just appre
hension in the states sustaining that domestic instn
toa-would be violation of good faith towards the
inhabitants of such territory who shall have been per

Union as a state the PEOPLE THEREOF SHALL

Worthy or Remembrance

Although the last Congress has perhaps
shown less liberality to territories, general
ly, in the way of appropriations, ETC., than
any that has preceded it in a number
years-perhaps, indeed, since the organi'
zation of our government--yet it should
be borne in mind, as far as Washington
territory is concerned, she has received her
full share Of attention, 1t is true that
Oregon has been admitted into the Union,
and the laws of the United States extend
cd over her. Minnesota has also become
a state during the present Congress-an
independency that we have never yet as
pircd TO. 1t is true that Oregon shares
with US all the benefits and protection af.
forded, against aggression, by the con6rma-
tion Of the Indian treaties, made FIVE and
six years ago, and which, since that time,
until the final adjournment Of the Senate,
at the late session, had been overlooked or
ignored, and separate military de-
partment established upon the Pacific,
whose headquarters have been assigned
at Vancouver, within our own territorial
limits-cmbracing only our own territory,
Oregon, and small fraction of California
yet one or two appropriations have been
made for the benefit of this territory, at
the last session of Congress, that haze not
been vouchSafed to any others.
Upon the probable line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, between Seattle and St.
Paul, Minnesota, an appropriation of $780,
900 has been awarded for the construction
of military or wagon road-precourser
of destiny, within very few years, to the
