ACCIDENTAL SHooTING.-The Com.
nlercial last evening says, j. @. JamisoD
who arrived from Forest Grove to-day
has kindly furnished us with the particu,
lars of an accident which occurred on
last Sabbath evening, short distance
above McMinville, resulting in the instant
death of lad aged about II, whose name
was Cant. It appears that he came into
the house late in the evening, where his
mother and sister were sitting, took down
double barreled shot gun, and said be
was going out to shoot some birds. They
endeavored to persuade him from his pur
pose, but he still persisted. A few mo
ments after his departure from the house
the report of a gun was heard and on
repairing to the spot, they found the son
and brother lying down with the entire
top of his head blown of. From appear
ances, the conclusion was that he had
carelessly placed his foot on the hammer
and was blowing in the muzzle to ascer
tain if the piece was loaded, when it wal
discharged.

The LAST CHICKEN When
the conference assembled in Hillsbor-
ough, some years since, on the last day
of the session, lad, whose dad had en-
tertained some half dozen preachers, en-
tered the room where the ministers were
seated, in terrible state of excitement.
"What's the matter, Isaacg 7" asked one,
t.you seem excited"
excited! I amt excited: I'm mad
all over"
"What are you mad about, Isaac p
Don't you know it's wrong to suffer your.
self to become angered 7"
Wrong or no wrong, it's enough to
make anybody mad but a preacher
Here's every chicken on the place eat up,
except the old rooster, and just now he
happened to see you fellows and sung
out, And must this feeble body-y die g,
and dropped over stone dead"

RANDALL,R PARDON.
The following is from the New
York Y0rld of March 10th

I ork World of March 10th:
"Among the latest official acts Of Ex- President
johnson rs President OF the United States, was
tho unconditional pardon of Il. q. Randall, late
Postmaster Of Portland, Oregon, who was convict
cd and sentenced 20 twelve years Imprisonment in
tho Penitentiary upon the charge of riding rogis-
tered letter Of two hundred dollars worth Of gold
dust. The pardon recommended by all the
Senators and Representatives aud many other in-
huential men from tho Pacific coast. The prcsl-
dent referred the papers in the 10 the Attor-
ney-6oneral, who, after n very careful examine
tion-of them, decided that Ia bis opinion the rob-
berry was committed by clerk employed In tho Of
ice, he having sold the gold dust and received tho
proceeds, and that Randall was In no way impli-
Gated, and recommended that no should be par
doned, which was Immediately done. The circum- :
stances connected with the trial do not reflect very
oreditably upon the court before which the case
was tried"
notwithstanding Randalps pardon
was recommended by MI the Sena-
tors and Representatives and many
other influential men from the Pacific
coast" and notwithstanding the opin.
ion of the Attorney.General that "thc
robbery was committed by a clerk
employed in the office,n we shall con
tinue to believe that the "court be-
fore which the case was tried," is just
rs honest and as well qualified to
judge correctly and render righteous
decisions rs the aforesaid u. S. Attor.
ney- General. He is in Washington
city; they are here on the groun
where the robberyis is alledged to have
been committed, and we shall believe
them rather than him. Iu our opin'
ion the true key to Randalls pardon
is-not that he is not guilty, but that
it is cardinal principle of the Radi
cal party that all their big magnates
shall go unwhipt of justice, no matter
what they do, or how clear the evi
dence of their guilt may be of which
they may be convicted.

The "loil" and would be refined,
honest and religious prcpagandisis of
this country have given themselves
much trouble over The "damnable doc
trine' Of Repucadtion. They take the
question as much to heart as the death
OF the "late lamcnted,' but are con.
tribudng daily towards the result, by
their gigantic robbcrics Of the State
and nation.
Will any Of these par-ercellent god
ly beings please tell us the difference,
in a moral point of view, between
Confsca'ion and liquidation ? They
bccome horrified at hearing the latter
su ggested as the probable result OF
the wonderful increase OF the national
debt, while at tho same time they
practice the former in every way
imaginable. They turn their "loiI"
eyes heavenward and howl in perfect
hyena style, if they happen TO hear
some one say that the bonds held by
John Doe might be repudiated, be-
cause they were obtained by fraud
yet they as complacontly turn upon
their heel and order the confscation
OF the property of Richard Roe,
through taxation and robbery, as
though they were the gods Of creation.
Now, will some genuine, unadulter-
ated 10y alist please inform us why It is
godly to advocate and practice con
fiseation, and ungodly 10 intimate re-
padiation? If the right exists to
corfscate house and lot, or farm,
why does not the same rule apply to
a bond? And If the confscation of the
former continues much longer, will it
not inevitably lead to the repudidtion
Of the latterg You, who do not wish
to make your bed with political har-
lots, negroes and robbers, reflect a
little, and examine the road you are
travelling. The men at present at the
head of public affairs viii reform;
and unless they are rcpudiated by tho
people, and that soon, the whole fab
ric will be ruined. The triangle dose
of confiscation, Reputation and bank
ruptcy, will oyertake us all.

"The History Of the War, which is
edited by Professor Bates, is one Of
greatest frauds that has been perpe.
trated upon tho goad old Common.

probably cost the State half million

the reverse. II is filed with glaring
errors from beginning TO end. Many
a brave man has his name spelled
wrong, merely because, as | suppose,
he was democrat Facts throughout
are so distorted and garbled that when
the abortion is completed, it will take
at least ten volumes, quarto size, of
one thousand pages each, to make the

HAD TO SURRENDER The Harris

twenty-seven additional "pasters and

aftor six weeks skirmishing and bush
whacking, been compelled to surrcn-
der and discharge that number Of

But they must 60 down. The debate
over the resolution for the discharge
