ERRATA.-We made some trifling errors
in our million dollar item last week which
we now hasten to correct. The two men
whom we spoke Of were not brothers, nei
ther were they Irish, and their names were
not Mcdonald; they do not reside in this
county, nor did they inherit million dol.
lars or any other sum whatsoever, and darn.
ed if we know anything about the matter.
We make this correction simply to avoid a
libel suit.

SINGULAR AcCIDEST.-Onc day last week
while Mr. Jerry Winter. of this city, was
hunting in the Cascade Mountains near
Vine 31apfe Bottom. he met with singular
accident. Discovering fine buck in gun
shot range, lie drew up his Spencer rifle and
fired, when, by some unaccountabie means.
the four cartridges in the magazine, OF butt
of the gun. exploded, and the concussion in
stantiy knocked Mr. Winter insehsible, in
which condition. being alone, he remained
for some time. After regaining conscious
ness he found that his face was bruised con-
siderably but he was otherwise unhurt, and
arose and walked into camp. Although the
four cartridges exploded and splintered the
butt of the gun all to pieces, teari the
iron bound magazine open on one side, yet
Mr. Winters hand which clutched the gun
in that immediate locality was entirely un-
harmed. Altogether it was enc of the most
miraculous escapes from 4 sudden and vio'
lent death that we have ever known.
The WHEAT CkoP.-About all the fall
wheat crop in this section of the state has been
harvested, but considerable spring wheat
is yet in the field We are informed that
though the area of wheat sown in LiEn
county this year is greater than ever be-
fore, yet the average yield is lighter than
for many years. We hare heard of one or
two farmers who realized over 30 bushels
to the acre. but the average yield will prob
ably not exceed p bushels. For the past
month the ground has been so dry and
parched that the wheat stopped growing
and consequently the grain ripened befare
filling. dwarfing it to great extent. The
spring wheat was late sown in Consequence
of the heavy rains during the usual seeding
time and of course is backward in coming
to harvest; but our farmers entertain the
opinion that the yield from that source will
be fully up to the average,

On the 26th Of January, 1870, the
House of Representatives adopted the
following resolution: i9ia itstR ila*f

be and he is hereby directed to, report
to the Hotase when and by what author
ity the pay and emolumonts. or either,
of the officers of the United States Navy
has been increased, the annual amount
of the increase, and its total amount
since the increase was made y sa...s,.y
The answer of the, Secretary is that
the increased pay amounts to 331 per
cent Three million seven hundred thou
sand dollars have in all, tits estimated,
been paid of increased salaries, There is,
it is confessed,n mo law. authorizing the in
crease-nothing but an order of Mr..
Welles, the Ex.Secretary Of the Navy,
issuedin 1865. So itappears that under
the Government as administered by the
Republican party millions Of money are
drawn from the Treasury which have
not, as the Constitution directs, been ap-
propriated BY law. The money is paid
out simply upon the order of one of the
Clerks of the President. tits true that
the order was made by Mr.. sJohnson's
Secretary, but it has been permitted by
a Republican Congress, and acquiesced
in by General Grant and his AdmiAis-
tration. We may expect soon to see the
pay of the army increased one hundred
per cent. upon an order of the Secreta-

Troops are to be sent out to enforce the

up, with its heavy expenditure, to fur
