An old gentleman in New Orleans,
very jealous of a pretty wife, few days
since came home late at night and had
all his worst fears confirmed by hearing
suspicious whisperingsin his lady's cham
ber. Blinded by the green-eyed monster,
he rushed furiously into the room, and
grasped, as he supposed, an exquisitcly
apparreled youth by the arm, and COM
menced administering to him a fearful
castigation. After exhausting himself,
and fearfully lascerating his opponent, he
found that the fell destroyer of his do
mestic peace was no other than his wife
dressed for masquerade.

TIME simplicity and practicability of this new
Il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses o decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in NO
way complicated. The pillow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the ''Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate f,
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon
farms the Gay Plow, hereby certify that tho
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adj usting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, 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 woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron-no cas- tings arc used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking on
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat 10
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 of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the ssGAr"
PLow to our brother farmers, one having NO
superior in Oregon.

CurAp FRrrGHr ON Low WArER-It

CHEAP FREIGHT on Low WATER 1t is
rpmarkable, with what christian forbear-
ance and perfect resignation, our mer-
chants and others content themselves
with having boat load, after boat load,
of goods stored at Little Rock, when the
market for which they were intended has
completely run short. The steamer ar.
madillo, has been laying at the Rock for
over a month waiting for water-and
some three or four other boats from st.
Louis and Cincinnati have come to that
point and re-shipped on her to be brought
through when there is rise of sic or
,eren feet Shippers think it quite hard
because they cannot get their freight
But the fact is, that all this freight has
been shipped at such rates that it cannot
be brought here on low water, at the low
price contracted tor. We have no doubt
that the sale of one half Of the merchan-
disc on the ArmaSHlo has been lost, by
the detention. And how much better
would it have been to have patrionized
the adams Monopoly and have re-
ceived the goods and sold them long ago,
even if you had been necesitated to have
paid little more freight

Eg- From cores spondent of the Fay
ettevile Democrat, dated Kings River,
Madison County, Arks., the 7th, we get
the following:
On last Friday evening Marion Wilker-
son, James Lear and the notorious Jim
Hunter surrounded in his field and killed
Thomas Lane in the most inhuman and
shocking manner. 1t appears from the
testimony before the Coroner's jury, that
Lane had gone into his field in search OF
a horse, when he suddenly beheld Hunt
er and Wilkerson approaching him on
each side of the field at full speed, while
Lear who had dismounted from behind
one of the others, was coming up from
the back of the field on foot. Antlcipat-
ing their intention, he ran to an oats
stack where some little boys asked him
who those men were that were after him.
He replied, "the Wilkerson's, recon" "
This frightened the boys and they start
ed to run, but he ontreated them not to
leave him for Gods sake. BY this time
jim Hunter had ridden up within ten pac-
es Of him, and requested him to come to
the fence. he wished to talk with him
awhile Lanes reply was, "Jim, | am
afraid of you, you all look like enemies. y
After talking with him about fifteen min
utes, the firing was commenced by Ma,
ron Wilkerson. who shot him three times
in the back The others shot him three
times in the head and once in the face,
1t is rumored that these ruilians are still
lurking in the country seeking an oppor-
tnnity to do more killing before they
leave Since writing the above, we learn
that they robbed Lane after they had Kill
ed him, taking his pistols, pocket book
and even his pocket knife. This is actn-
ally so. All good citizens should assist
in bringing such scoundrels to justice.

DER OF Col. JONES AND HIS SoN.-Re-
garding the murder of Col. Jones and
son, at Harrisonburg, La, on Sunday
last, the following particulars we learn
from passengers by the Ouachita river
packet Glasgow, which arrived here last
evening, Our informants state that the
men in mask who did the deed first sur
rounded the sheriff's Office and made a
formal demand for the persons ofColonel
Jones aud sons, and the sheriff refused
to accede, when threat was made to
burn the house. In this state Of affairs
the sheriff was called on again to remove
his family and friends, other than the
Jones's, if such were in the house, and
while the sheriff was coming out of the
gate of his front yard Col. Jones was OBJ
served with bed spread wrapped about
him, coming out also, when one of the
outside party shot him, killing him in
stantly. After this was done, Col Jones
eldest son endeavored to make his es-
cape from the rear of the house, and
when he was in the ACT of going out the
gate of the back yard, he likewise shared
the fate of his father. During the kill
ing of the elder son, the younger son
made his escape, and had not been heard
from up to Thursday last; nor has any
of the party been arrested who did the
killing. When the steamer Glasgow left
Harrisonburg all was quiet.--New Oh leans

A Severe Scoring Of Radical Officials.

In one of Don Piatt's recent letters
from Washington, he thus addresses
himself to the infamous psalm singing
Radical officials:
And, looking over the officials here, if
you want to pick out the most uuscrupu-
lous, greedy knaves, take those who pro
fess the most religion. This is SO gener-
ally recognized, that man runs some
risk in being more than respectfully pious
Gen. Howard, who is really good man
suffers in this way A man may attend
the Episcopal Church. that being the
mildest foIm of civilized religion, and
escape suspicion; but even this has risk
Those regarded as the more reliable and
honest are the men who make no protes-
sion whatever This cloak of religion
has been more especially used to cover
the rascality of the Indian Bureau and
the land jobbers There is Il ring Of
loud mouthed professors Of extra piety
here that has stolen more, and has more
to show for its stealings, than any other
ring in Washington. Its members are
prominent in all pious and charitable
moves. They preside over meetings of
citizens looking to benevolent work, and
make tremendous speeches in behalf of
missionary enterprises. The internal
seoundrels, they roll to church in car
riages built Of stcalings, and gilded and
vanished with public iniquity, drawn by
stolen horses, and they walk in clothes
woven of public plunder, and hold under
their hypoeritical noses velvet bound,
gilt edged, hot pressed prayer books, that
represent SO much money filched from
the Treasury. And when they kneel it is
to get closer to Satan, to hear his whs-
pered schemes of further rascality They
make me cling closer to the precious be
lief in hell hereafter, and what Burns
called "tidings O. damnation.' They
are prosperous here, but if / fail to see
them hereafter crawling around to the
cool side Of the big Goals, and crying
aloud to the Christian statesman for a
little drop of his ice water, shall be
greatly disappointed, and consider our
plan of salvation greater failure than
