YvHE simplicity and practcability of this new
Il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses decided
superiority all other plows now in use The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unpioWed land. Its entire construction is in M,
way complicated. The plow is manag ged in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Gay P!ow will 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 tho
same has given Us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit-the depth of furrow without
NOW from the scat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead OF the carriage; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood work being con-
strueted of wrought irou--no ca tings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid hand Is sd-
vantage over other gang-plows, in s.rik Ing of
land and in plowin-. not having to make the
cssary changes in the mae chncry, and the seat Is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY"
PLow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon.

THRILLING ADvENTURE.-On Thurs
day night, says the Cheyenne Leaier,
three men named Mckenna, McAlister
and Wentworth, of Company *. Second
Cavalry, went out from this post hunting.
Night overtaking them near the entrance
to La Prellc Canyon, fifteen miles from
here, they turned into secluded glen,
stationed one of their number to watch,
and the others made down their bed and
went to sleep side by side. About mid
night, it being cold, the watchman made
a fire. Fatal mistake. Soon after this
he lay down by the side of his compan
ions, doubtless not intending to go to
sleep One of his comrades (Went-
worth) awakening for a moment, warned
him Of his imprudence, but received the
assurance that all was well, and again fell
asleep. 1t is probable that the sentinel
did the same. A few moments after
wards a terrible discharge of firearms
from every side Of the sleepers, in such
close proximity that the powder burned
their faces, proved the folly Of their
watchers feeling of security. One of
the men, McKenna, did not move-a
ball had pierced his temple, another his
heart, and four had entered his breast.
Death itself had succeeded its counter
felt. McAlister sprang up with a single
exclamation, and fell back dead, pierced
by a dozen bullets. Wentworth, who
was sleeping between the two, was not
scratched. Being a man of great nerve
and much experience with the Indians,
his plans were instantly matured, and as
quickly executed. Seizing his pistol as
he slipped from the side of his dead com
panion, he shot the Indian who confront
ed him as he rose; jumped over his
PROSTATE body; knocked down the next
in his path with the butt of his weapon;
lodged the resi- sprang in among the
ponies, from which the savages had dis
mounted, and running through the herd
gained the creek, and under cover of it's
friendly bushes escaped his pursuers,
and came barefoot over the jagged rocks
and prickly pears to the post. On re-
ceipt of the information the company in
stantly proceeded to the place and found
the bodies as he had described, but
strange to say, neither were sealped nor
mutilated. Stranger still, their guns,
ammunition, overcoats, saddles, and bed
blankets were all there undisturbed.
One eff their horses had been shot and
left; the other three were taken off by
the Indians.

Under all the talk OF an united defence
against the Germans by all classes within the
walls Of Paris, there has been amongst thought
full people there An ever-present terror of an
en- envy within, more terrible than that thunder
ing outside at the gates of the devoted city
W hat was to protect private property, and the
women, and children while husbands, fathers
and sons were in the Notifications? Swarms Of
the worst elements, the dangerous classes
had concentrated at Paris, and were
growing more and more insubordinate
up to the time that the city was in
vested; and it was dreaded that trouble
would come when the close approach of the
Germans should call the substantial citizens to
the trenches, leaving an opportunity for the
robbers, thieves, and murderers to emerge from
their hiding places and enter upon an unchecked
career of pillage and outrage. Letters received
in this city from Paris have expressed this fear
as the uppermost one there, rising far above
that felt from the approach of the Germans.
kilograms o-day II ON French sources deny the
reports Of lighting inside OF Paris, but whether
or not there has been any outbreak by the
"roushs" mp % this time, il cannot be denied
that the main source of weakness In the defence
of the city is felt to be in the presence of this
dangerous element.

Reading Matter on Every Page.

The statement telegraphed from this CITY A
day or two ago g that's Secretary Cox is likely 10
have some trouble with the leading Republicans
this fan" because he has, as alleged. =" totally
dlsregarded politics In making his appoipt-
ments, and placed persons into positions WHO
are active opponents or the Republican party
and The administration OF President Grant, aud
who were srdent sympathizers with the late
reoelilon, Is too extrayazant to be parlonable,
even in season Of great dearth in Washington
news Indeed, so far does il go in tina, direction
as to carry its refutation its face and in this
view 1t might well be passed by without notice,
except fer the animus which inspires IL, and the
false impressions it may create where the facts
are not known.
IL seems proper, therefore, to say that while
merit has been the first consideration having
weight in the appointments OF subordinates in the
Department OF the Interior, no instance have
persons opposed to the administration been an
pointed to positions therein, so far as was known
to its head or the chiefs OF its several bureaus
These gentlemen do not, however, pretend tn
be, and moreover cannot be expected to be-
come, detectives and spies upon the political
antecedents or private opinions OF the MANY
personal strangers recommended to them for
oncial positions; and it is possible that In the
several hundred designations to once made du-
ring fle past year some few may have fallen to
persons In whose political record a flaw might
be picl ed But in every case of that kind so far
pointed out IT has been found that the recipient
vas recommended in the most earnest manner
by the Republican members of one or both
Houses. against whose political soundaess or en-
dorsenents no question can well be raised The
blame IN such instances, If blame can rightfully
be laid, should therefore rest upon the recon-
mandatory influence, and not upon the appoint
ing power.
But the whole charge is without foundation in
good faith, and is only part OF the warfare
urged against Secretary Cox because OF the
manly stand he has taken in favor of an i'm
proved civil service. 1t will fail OF its intended
effect.

last Thursday night between Gen: Garfield and
Gen. Morgan, Republican and Democratic Con-

cordiDs to the local papers, Gen. Garfield, who

Morgan and his party, and absolutely left him
no ground to stand upon. Gen. NJ. then got the
