Lincoln's First Dollar.

One evening in the Executive Cham
Der there were quite number of gen

A point in the conversation suggesting

"After much persuasion, | got the
consent of mother to 60, and constructed
little fat boat large enough to take the
barrel or two of things that we had
gathered, with myself and little bum

was coming down the river. We have,
you know, no wharves on the Western
streams, and the custom was. if passen-
gers were at any of the landings, for
| them to go out in a boat, the steamer
stopping and taking them on board.
II was contemplating my new fiat-boat
and wondering whether could make it
stronger or improve it in any particular,
when two men came down to the shore
in carriages with trunks, and looking at
the different boats, they singled out mine,

struction is turned into railroad for the

.tlemen, beware of committing murder ,
Beware, 7 say, of meddling with the
eternal prerogative Gentlemen, I ad-
jure you by the manumitted ghost of
temporal sanctity, to do no murder. I
adjure you by the name of woman, by
the TICKLING timepiece of times theoret-

ADVERTISEMENTS.

IUyHE simplicity and practicabiIity of this new
Plow commends it fayorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses 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 pIow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority Of the ssGayS Plow viii be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon having purchased and used upon our
farms the s.Gayo Plow, hereby certify that the
has given entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting 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 castings used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an adj
| vantage over other gang g-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
| essary changes in the machinery, 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 of this
PIow than by hand.
| We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY''
PLow to our brother farmers, as one having NO
! superior in Oregon.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commits
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa-
nies, says The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The hest and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity. and render all that they promise,

DANCED THEMSELVES TO DEATH
A few evenings since a ball was held at
one of the halls of the city, at which a
large number of young folks were in at
tendance. Among the attractions of the
evening was prize. gold ring, offered
to the lady who should out waltz all COM
petitors At twelve o'clock the band
struck up ssIl Baccio," and full dozen
competitors took their places on the floor,
entering for the contest. At the expira-
pies gave way and took their seats, leav-
ing. the rest twirling and whirling in the
g;ddy and intoxicating dance. One
hour more, there were but three couples
on the floor, and the dance went on until
after another hour had passed, when from
sheer exhaustion another couple gave out,
leaving the floor to the remaining two
pair of terpsichorean devotees. The
band played and played and played, and
the four fast failing dancers danced and
danced and danced, till even those who
looked upon them grew dizzy. At the
end of the fourth hour the musicians
grew feeble, and from the finger ends of
the violinists the blood trickled to the
floor, but still they supplied the moving
power to keep the dancers agoing. The
excitement grew intense as the fifth hour
of the dance came on, and there were
those present who insisted on putting an
end to the merry, though reckless, quar-
tette suicide. However, no interference
was permitted, and the prize dance, over
the jaws of death, went on. After five
hours and three minutes had elapsed,
one of the ladies tainted, and her part
ner quickly followed her example, and,
amid cheers, the prize was awarded to
the other couple, who kept the floor.
Then came summing up of damages.
The two contesting girls had to be con-
veyed to their homes es-together with
their partners, who were as badly used
up-in carriages, and all have since been
in a precarious condition and under med
ical treatment The girls had to have
their shoes cut from their feet, and their
limbs were swollen next day to an enor-
nous size The young men will hardly
recover, and the musicians suffered ter
riblv, and will never again play at a terp-
sichorean centest.-P PiHsbarg Gazette.
