John HALEY, Esq, the pioneer stage
man, has made arrangements SO that he
is carrying mails and passengers through
from Umatilla City to the Pacific Railroad
in eighty eight hours; distance 500
miles, and passengers resting three hours
at Boise City.
The smoky weather which we have
been having has disappeared. The hills
can be discerned around us, and the at
mosphere is quite clear. We have had
a variety of cold aud warm weather, the
latter part of the week being little too
hot to be comfortable.
Two brick kilns have been burned at
the yard, by Messrs. Newell and Abrams,
and the third is now ready to be fired
The Albany (Oregon) brick making ma
chine is in use by this Company, and it
works very satisfa tory. These brick will
challenge comparisn with any in the State.
The new building of Mr.. Max Vogt is
in course of erection. The front is of
brick, and the sides and ends of fire.
proof stone. 1t will be splendid struct-
ure when completed, and we can but
hope under the management of Messrs
Clint and Whitmore it will soon assume
proper shape.
The basement walls of the Mint are
almost completed, and the structure is
beginning to raise itself above the surface
of the ground. The work goes on slow
ly but surely. The brick laying is prog
ressing finely, and great many beauti-
full arches now span the basement, built
byMr. Runey, the mechanic in the brick
department.
From the Jacksonville Sentinel of the
18th:
We hear that a man named Oliver
Evans, living short distance above
Ashland, took his shotgun last Monday
morning and struck out for the noun
heard of him. He is in easy circum-
stances, is widower, and has two small
children. 1t is thought he must have
wandered off in an insane condition.
A Chinaman sold to Mr.. Beekman du-
ring the week, piece of solid gold
weighing over $500. Several smaller
pieces from one to two ounces, have been
brought IN lately, and it is probable that
some Of the companies have struck good
streak.
Two or three days since, says the Ore
goa.idn, Mr.. Boynton, OF Clackamas coun-
ty, was riding horse across one OF the
Molalla bridges, when the horse, which
was blind in one eye. became frightened
and leaping suddenly to one side, went
sheer over the bridge and fell distance
of twelve or fifteen feet. The horse was
badly hurt though not killed. Mr.. b.,
by an agile spring from the horses back
as he went down, escaped with slight In
jury.
The house of John Dunbar, near Fair
view Church, Sandy, was destroyed by
fire on Wednesday last, 9th. The family
had gone on visit to neighbor, and on
returning found the house in ashes. Mr..
Dunbar had been making shingles not
| far away, burning the sfavings, and it is
supposed the Ere spread from the smoul-
deriDg enbers.
In order to vex their Russian oprress.
ors, the Poles Of Warsaw have suddenly
taken great liking to the German Ian
guage. They cause their children te
| study German instead of Russian, and the
German language is spoken at all places
| Of amusement, while the Russian tongue
/ Is not used at all. The Pole who speaks
Russian Is at once summed in conse
/ quence By his countrymen as renegade
and traitor.
