AN UpsEr.-A party of ladies and
gentlemen from this city were returning
in two horse hack from Corvallis on
last Sunday night. About ten o'clock,
and when they were descending the little
Hill half mile beyond Rainwater's, the
back WAS overturned by too quick turn
on the hill, and the whole party were
thrown to the ground, when the hack,
by some unaccountable means, assumed
its usual posish, and with the team, at
pretty rapid pace. pr ceeded on its way
to Picroe's ferry at this city. Mr. Pierce
heard the noise made by the vehicle be-
fore reaching the ferry, and attempted to
head off the team, not dreaming, however
that there was no oue in the hack.
However, 'Roway" and his mate were
too fast for Mr. p. and when he arrived
at his ferry, the team and vehicle were
safely on board In good shape and Mr.
p. did not discover until half way across
the river, that the vehicle was empty !.
That team will DO to bet on. One or
two of the parties thrown out of the We
hicle were slightly bruised; besides the
scare and the general uncomfortableness
of the affair, balance Of the party were

This is an entirely new plan, giving Insurers
the largest return ever made by any Company in
the same period.
The Company give credit when desired, of from
33 to so per cent. of premiums
An illustration of the advantages of the credit
system practiced by this Company, is the ease
of II. G. Coe. of Yonkers, who insured his life in
this Company for $4,000, in February, 1857, pay
ing the whole premium in cash, Sis at the end
the amount of the premium then due, in cash, and
he came to the Office prepared to surrender the
policy. Being told that he could give his note
for the premium. he did so. His death occurred
in less than seven months. His family are now
in the enjoyment of the amount insured. Had
he insured in an "all cash. Company, they would
have been left unprovided for.
This is, in itself. complete refutation of the
absurd statement of .all cash" Companies, that
it is injurious for the insurer to have the power to
give a note under any circumstances.

From tho Toledo Commercial, April god, 1869 :
1.-THE Automatic Clothes Washer. The new
method of washing clothes without labor done
by the Automatic Clothes Washer and Boiler"
is attracting, as might naturally be supposed, a
good deal of attention. This remarkable machine
continues to show to astonished visitors, whose
numbers are daily increasing, how simply and
easily large days washing can be effectually
complished in comparatively short time by this
labor saving invention.
From the Cleveland Plaindealer, March 18th,
1869 :-"The Automatic Clothes Washer.-Noth-
ing in the way of patent has for long time
awakened such a general interest, ms the above
named invention. Washing without labor by the
mere force of heat, is step so important and new
that it naturally excites great deal of inquiry.
The genuine merit. the cheapness and simplicity,
must make it an article of universal ,and those
seeking an investment cannot do better than to
look into it.

GAY'' pLOWS S.
Manufactured and sold for the very low price Of
@G5 and $40.

TIME simplicity and praetcabiiity of this new
i Plow eommends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses decided
superiority all other ploss now in use. Tho
wheels are four feet in diameter aud run the
nnplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
to be used ia making any alteration. The supc
rerity of the s.tiay Piow win be clearly shown
by the following certificate:
We the undersigned, citizens Of Linn county.
Oregon. having purchased and used upon our
farms the ''Gay" plow. hereby certify that ths
same has given entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adJusting TO suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the scat, is simple aud easy. We
like the piow for its draught because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, ,-recause it is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron--no tings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is nd
vantage over other gang p!ows, in striking off
land and in piowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in ether plows. Better work and
more of it be accomplished by the use of this
Pow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY''
PLow to our brother farmers, having no
superior in Oregon.

near the circular saw, which was in
rapid motion, when the wind blew his
coat-tail against it; the coat caught
against the saw aud Mr.. Warren was
drawn upon it, the saw striking his left
arm just below the elbow, tearing and
lacerating the arm for several inches
1ongitudinally. DIR. Steeiey, assisted by
Drs Alexander and Hill, amputated the
arm between the elbow and shoulder, and
it is thought, with care and attention, the
old gentleman will recover Dir. War
