A LITTLE FIGHT.-We are informed
that scrimmage occurred at the Brook
saloon, on First street, in this city, Thurs
day morning about three o'clock, betw cen
one of our boys and Brownsvillian !;
and report has it that Brownsville won
the "belt." Several panes of glass were
demolished, and other evidences show
that lively time was had This is the
first occasion for some time that we have
chronicled any " onpleasantness," and we
hope that this will not be considered a
good precedent" Our fellers should
not be SO impolite to strangers as to
undertake to ''put head on them
when they come to see US.
Since writing the above we learn that
our first information was incorrect
There were three parties arrested; the
row occurred at the City Brewery the
parties were all from Brownsville; one
of the parties was fined SO and costs
another: S5 and costs, and the third was
discharged. The two parties fined
forked," and were discharged, which
makes quite little item.

BROWNSVILLE ITEMS.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
BROWNSVILLE. Nov. Is. Is

BROWNSVILLE, Nov. Is, 1869.
We have just perused late number Of
the REGISTER, which fully satisfies us
that if the present energy and tact is
displayed in its management is fully car
ried out, it will prove valuable paper to
the people of Linn county
= We learn from Mr.. Gordon Downey,
who is just down from the Dalles, that
work on the U. S. Mint is suspended
until Spring.
Mr.. VIM. Templeton, an old and es-
teemed citizen, has just returned to his
pleasant home, after a somewhat pro-
tracted sojourn over in Washington Ter
ritory, to look after the terminus of the
Northern Railroad. He reports himself
as we'll satisfied with his trip, and that
he found some fine country yet open for
settlement.
Mr.. VIM Baird has just finished COW
cring and enclosing the bridge at this
place-by the way, No. l job. The
bridge is 16O feet in length.
The wolves have been committing dep
relations among the sheep in this neigh
borhood for same weeks past. Last Sat
urday large party Of men and dogs
secured the country over till evening,
and returned home hungry and weary,
with nary a wolf. Being one of the
number, I sensibly appreciate get the
hard ride and harder saddle I under
stand the parties are out again to-day /;
but Mr.. Wolf is too sharp to be rousted
from his lair.
BY yesterdays mail we received a copy
of the Portland E'renug Commercial 1t
seems as though the city has just become
aware that it was going over the river
fact that any disinterested person might
have known many months ago. Port
land proper has controlled every CONNER
cial interest of Oregon so long, that she
scenes to think change is not at all
probable. We give them credit for their
success in Keeping trade on its present
site during the mining excitement OF
other years but we very much doubt if
the same tact and policy will secure the
same results much longer. But We are
like the lady was when her husband
was fighting the bear-we havn't much
choice which whips.
! Mr. A Wheeler has opened a new
store on Main street, North Brownsville.
( He does no credit business-cash or pro-
duce is the only terms. One would sup
pose from the variety of his billing and
extensive stenciling on the fences, gates,
logs and trees, that he had been reading
the papers, and is a true convert to the
modern idea of business success.
+ To say that We are all wide awake here
on the prospective railroad through this
county, is to imperfectly express our in
terest in that direction. Every move
ment of the surveying party is noticed
with intense interest One citizen ex-
pressed himself in our hearing this even
ing as impatient on account of the late
arrival of the mail, as he wished to learn
through the BEGIsTER, how the railroad
was getting along.

BRIDGE WASHED AwAY.-Just be-
fore the present high water the railroad
company had put UP temporary works by
which the railroad bridge across the
Clackamas river could be raised. Part
of the bridge was up and the timbers
ready for the balance of the bridge. In
this stage of construction the high water
came and drove drift against the tempo
rary works which washed the whole
structure away. This is serious loss to
the Company, but Col. Moores informs
us that the work of track laying will not
long be delayed The Pony locomotive
has been purchased from the o. s. n
Co, and Il temporary track will be laid
through the old stage bridge. SO that
track laying will not stop on account of
the loss of the railroad bridge. The
damage by the flood will be repaired
within fifteen or twenty days.

A New PApER.-We heard a rumor
last week to the effect that the enterpris-
ing citizens of Scio were agitating the
subject of establishing newspaper in
their little city. 1t would doubtless
prove beneficial to the interests of the
Scioans-but to keep it in running
order" they should make :heir calcula-
tions on " coming down" literally. II
the citizens of Scio make up their minds
to establish and maintain printing es-
tablishment there, they'll do it, you
bet.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Mr. b. Il.
Mail, who lives few miles east of Ore
gon City, was accidentally shot on Sun
day last. He was standing holding his
shotgun with the butt resting near the
edge of the porch, when "a dog ran against
it and knocked it off. 1t fell, hammer
down, exploding the gun, the contents
taking effect at the right elbow, ranging
upward to the shoulder. The arm was
amputated near the shoulder; but the
nervous shock to the system was so great
that fears were entertained of a fata
result.

SUPPOSED MURDER.-The Oregontam
of the 18th says: \ correspondent at
Monticello writes that upon exanlina-
tion of the body of man found dead on
Sunday, and the surrounding premises,
it is believed that he was murdered in a
school house near by and then dragged
for concealment to the place where found.
The body was found in the brush by the
side of small creek, the coat turned
over the head as if the body had been
dragged by it. The skull was crushed,
as if blow had been dealt with heavy
club, and such club was found in the
school house, where, also, blood was
found. Blood was found on fence be-
tween the school house and the creek,
and trail plainly showed where the body
had been dragged along from the feace
to the creek. 1t is supposed the man
had entered the school house to sleep, as
passers-by sometimes do, the house being
unused, and that while asleep the assassin
entered and dealt the fatal blow for pur-
poses of revenge or robbery. Nothing
was found upon the person to indicate
who the man was or where from. No
inquest was held, but the people of the
neiehborhood gave the remains decent
burial
