Tho Candidates,

With the exception OF County Clerk,
there are two candidates for each Of the
county cfices to be filled next Tuesday
week. For Judge E. w. Crandall and C.
II. Weeks are candidates for County Clerk
our friend TonDer as yet has the field to
himself, no one feeling disposition to lie
beaten by him which they most assurdly
would be if they ran against him; for Trea
surer, Benjamin Richardson and j. A.
Frank are the candidates; for Surveyor S.
Reed and Adam Comstock, and for
School Commissioner Dwight Haven and
S. O. Simonds. We call attention to the
announcement Of the latter, which appears
for the first time in to-day's paper.
Now, as we have already remarked, the
people Of this county have good material to
select their officers from. Of the candi-
dates now before the people it is not ueees
sary for Us TO say more than we already
have. There are few in the county who
do not know them personally. Hence
there is no need of in:roductio1s or indOrse
menss, knowing the men the electors will
vote for those whom they believe to be the
best suited for the position.
As we took no part in the, so called, peO-
Jls's Union convention. we are free to vote
az we Ike. We mean to vote for the best
men, aud, flour friends can find out whom
they be, we would advise them to do like
wise.

To CANDIDATES. Without designing TO
find fault with any one, We will say that
hitherto, candidates, as a genera! thing,
have not done the fair thing by US. Since
our connection with this paper, which has
not been for very short period, we have
not received enough money for printing
tickets and publishing announcements for
candidates to pay for one quarter the la
Dor performed, saying nothing about the
cost of ink and paper. Our objec: in al
luding to the past, now, is TO intimate that
there must be change for the future
Considering the hard times, wo have made
up our minds that we cannot afford, here
after, to work for candidates, howegerso-
much we may admire them for their gen.
tlemanly qualities and sound sentiments,
for nothing. Therefore, we shall expect
money, instead CT promises, for tickets,
and we have 10 doubt that the candidates
before the people a, this election, at least,
will cheerfu!ly comply with our terms.

The Habit of Swearing Half a Century

The fashion of swearing prevailed to an
extraordinary degree in all circles of society,
in Scotland, some fifty years ago, and even
the most refined and elegant women could
not express their feelings without the occa
sional use of an unmistakable round oath.
A quaint anecdote is given in illustration of
this employ ment of the vernacular:
A late Duke of Athole had invited a we'll
known character, a writer of Perth, to come
up and meet him at Dunkeld for the trans
action of some business. The Duke men
toned the day and hour when he should re-
eeive the man of law, who accordingly came
punctualy at the appointed time and place.
But the Duke had forgotten the appointment,
and gone to the Hill, from which he could
not return for some hours. A Highlander
present described the Perth writer's indigna-
ton, and his mode Of showing it, by a most
elaborate course Of swearing.
"But whom did he swear att" was the in
quiry made of the narrator, who replied
"Ou, he didna sweer at ony thing partee-
cular, but stude in ia middle Of ia road and
swoor at large"
l have from a friend also an anecdote
which shows how entirely at one period the
practice Of swearing had become, even to fe-
male cars, when mixed up with the inter
course Of social life. A sister had been
speaking of her brother as much addicted to
this habit:
"Ohr John sweers awin', aud we try to
correct him; but" she added in a candid
end apologize tone, "nae doubt it is a great
set aft to conversation"

An Incident IN she Llrs 81 Mater Bea.
Uu-nurI..H

"A Philadelphia paper gives the following
incidents in the life of Ben. MeCulloch, Of
Texas:
In December, 1912, a small band Of brave
men belonging to the then Independent Re-
pnblic Of Texas we're ordered by that Gov
eminent to proceed to the Rio Gfande, and
there protect the citizens of the Republic
from the forays of the. Mexicans, and TO re-
taliate for the injuries and insults 50 long,
endured by them. Thecommand was under
Gen. Somerville, and ct the town Of Laredo
numbered in all about 900.
This town, although within and belonging
to the Republic Of Texas, had for some time
been in the possession of the Mexican troops.
Laredo was refaken with but trining resist
ance. The command was then divided and
about 600 men marched upon and captured
the town of Guerrero, within the Republic
of Mexico. A retreat was then ordered, and
the detachment retired within the confines
of their own Republic, where the command
was aqain divided, and about 300 men, under
Col. Fisher, withdrew and by special agree
ment, marched upon the town Of Mier. The
town was captured and contribution levied
for the support ofthe detachment.
"A day or two elapsed before the oontribu-
ton could be delivered, during which inter-
val the Mexican army, numbering 5000 men,
under the command Of General Ampudia, ar
rived, n prevented the delivery of the con-
~tributions. ~Detachments from the Texan
band made forays into the adjoining neigh
borhood, and seized upon and recovered
assessment Of horses, mules, &c, from the
farmers. These were needed for the defense
and escape of the band from the Mexican
army. On the evening of the 25th of De-
cember, when the men were formed for the
purpose Of marching the second time upon
the town of Mier, where the Mexican army
was then stationed, inquiries were then made
for the parties who had secured the horses
and mules alluded to, and il was then dis.
covered that these men had deserted and
taken with them all the horses and mules
now so necessary not only for the defense
but escape Of The Whole force.
Notwithstanding, this little band braved
the attack contemplated, and were taken
prisoners. The principal in command of
those who deserted land took with them the
last hope of ESCAPED Is now an important Off
Ger in the command of the army of the
Southern Confederate States,n and who
connived and o.operated with Gen. Twiggs
in the late surrender Of United States troops
in Texas. We refer to Benjamin MeCulloch,
for the second time a traitor.

Interesting Incident of Early Life la
. ...r. OREGON.

. ...-. Oregon,
1t was in the Summer, of lS43, that a
young chief of the Walla Wallas, one day
entered the fort, and appropriated to him
self some articles of little value-a piece of
wood, from a lot of which, lying therein, the
Indians bad been in the habit of taken
pieces whenever they chose, for the pur-
pose of making whip handles. The practice
had been positively forbidden, as the wood
was of a particular kind, and of service to
the company. 1t was in an expostulation
with the young chief, that a young clerk in
the company's employ, received a signal af-
front, which occasioned a r~euconter, and
the chastisement of the Indian. Al this
time, there were perhaps a dozen whites at
the fort, and although the buildings were
enclosed by stockades, yet there were no
means of effectually securing the entrances.
The stockade was of recent construction,
and the gates had not been made, nor were
they until a year after. Consequently, it
was, comparatively speaking, a defenseless
position. On the next day, the Indians,
some of each tribe, crowded into the establis-
ment to revenge themselves in the death of
Mr.. T. Talking could achieve nothing
every consistent means was resorted to in
vain to appease the turbulent multitude.
The men belonging to the fort were at work
in the field, even could their presence have
effected any good in the issue. y
The Indians were brandishiug their weap-
ons, and seemed fully aware of their superb
ority, and disposed to exercise it in a sum-
mary manner. Already had Mr.. Mckinley
suffered indignities, and young T. was
defending himself as well as he was able,
when Mr.. Mckinley started from the crowd
thatsurrounded him, into the adjoining store
room, seized a keg OF powder, a steel and
flint, and returning, placed the keg in the
center Of the room, and knocked in its head.
Now" said he, kill him if you WILL"
pointing to T. but that moment / kill
you ALL Two of us can die when there are
many braves to die with us"
The proposed slaughter was on too ex-
tensiye a scale for the Indians; a panic
seized them, they turned in dismay and
rushed precipitately from the house.
