A DOG SACRIFICES HIS LIFE FOR A
DRUNKEN MAsTER-The Milwaukee
ITi$consin says: A gentleman living at
Wauwatoso related to US to- day the fol-
lowing incident, for the truth of which
he vouches: One day last week a man
went to saloon, as was his daily Gus
tom, to drink, and meeting boon COM
panions remained with them till late at
night, when he started to go hume.
Overcome by the liquor he had drank,
the man laid down on the railroad track
and went to sleep. A faithful dog, who
had followed the man, stood and watched
over him, until tie whistle of locomo-
tive in the distance showed that freight
train was approaching. The dog, fully
aware of the imminent danger to his
master, tried TO arouse the drunken man, !,
and tore his clothes badly in the attempt,
unable to awake the sleeper, the dog
took the man by the shoulder and fairly
dragged him from the track just as the
train came on. The man was saved, but
the poor dog, who had SO faithfully pro-
tected the master he loved, was struck
by the COW w-catcher and smashed to
pieces. When the man recovered his
senses, it was found that his flesh was
bitten in several places by the strong ef-
forts of the dog to save his life. The
man the next day gathered up the pieces
of the faithful animal and buried them
He was so fully impressed by the re-
| markably narrow escape from death that
he has resolved not TO get drunk again

WANTED TO KNOW IF. THE PRo-
cEED1NGs WERE REGULAR.-The Cen
tral Californian is authority for the fol-
lowing: Monterey county boasts of a
justice, an easy, good-natured genius,
who has an original way of doing bust
ness. Some time since the justice, whom
we shall call C--,met W, men,
Der of the legal fraternity, when the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued: w y
said the justice, e 1 wish to ask you some
advice. Some time ago a Mexican owed
me debt, and ascertaining that he was
about to leave, determined to bring
suit against him. There being no other
justice IN The district I brought action
before myself We had no constable,
and served the summons. The day of
trial came on, and as knew all the facts
in the case, no witnesses we're called, but
rendered Judgment in my favor for the
debt and costs. In the absence of o
constable I levied upon what property
the Mexican had and ordered it sold.
At the day of the sale no one attended
but myself, SO I bid in the property.
The proceeds were insufficient to satisfy
the judgment, and ! seized the person Of
the Mexican, and placed him at work
making adobes for the balance. After
the lapse, of day or two F. wished
to hi9H the Mexican and gave me his
note tor the balance still due me, where
upen I discharged the prisoner from GUS
tody. Now, some few of my Eeighbors
think my proceedings we're irregular. I
wish to know your opinion

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR ORE
GoN.-We copy the following from Car
ter's San francisco Real Estate Circular
for January, aud commend it to the at
tention of our merchants, farmers, man
u.acturcrs, and others. We may also ask
why Oregon cannot. or, more properly,
does not, manufacture her own butter,
soap, candles, hides. boots and shoes, etc.?
Read and think oyes it. Here it is:
During the year 1869 We paid the
nice little sum of 6.439, ,096 for freight
olone, on goods imported here, mostly
fronl--the East This little item speaks
loudly against our want Of enterprise, for
We should. In most Instances, be manu-
featuring the very articles VIC arc import
ing. Why can't we make soap and can
dies as well and as cheaply as they do in
the East !? Why is Eastern butter pre-
ferred to California butter? Why do
we export hides to have them reiEported
in the shape of boots and shoes, instead
of manufacturing the article of wearing
ourselves? These are questions which
We would respectfully submit to the
eroakcrs, who, while they are crying
sout about the dull times in the State,
have never invested single dollar to ad-
vance our agricultural or manufacturing
| interests. Six millions and half year
saved in actual cash for freights, besides
the industries fostered, and the number
of persons these industries would employ
would go a long way toward enlivenlng
the State, and especially the real estate
market.

She hung the cage at the window
If he goes by she said,
HE will hear my robin singing;
And when he lifts his head
l shall be sitting here to sew,
And he will bow to me, know"
The robin sang love-sweet song,
The young man raised his head:
The maiden turned away and blushed;
''I am fool" she said,
And went on broidcring in silk
A pink-eyed rabbit, white as milk
The young man 1oitered slowly
By the house three times that day
She took her bird from tho window;
'He need not look this way"
She sat at her piano long,
And sighed. and played death-sad song.
But when the day was done, she said,
II wish that he would come
Remember, Mary, if he calls
Tonight I'm not at home.'
So when he rang, she went-the elf
She went and let him in Ii -rself.
They sang full long tagetbsr
Their songs love sweet, dea.h SAD
The robin woke from his slumber,
And sang out clear aud glad.
" Now co. she celdly said, "'tis late"
And followed him to- latch tho gate.
He took the rosebud from her hair,
While you shall not ~ she said
He closed her hand within his own,
And while her tongue forbade,
Her will was darkened in the eclipse
OF binding love upon her lips.

tion was occasioned few days ago near
Quincy, in Owen county, Indiana, by the
finding of singular egg upon the prem
ises of widow lady near that town, by
lady member of her household, on Sun
day October 25, 1868 On the shell, it
is said, there is imprinted an American
flag with ten stars, and the head of a
horse. 1t also bears the following in
scription
'And it shall come to pass, saith the
God, that there shall be prophets, and 1
will shew signs in heaven and on earth,
for the hearts of the people are filled
with drunkenness, and they are weary
with this life, and there shall be signs
in the sun, the moon and the stars, and
great distress of nations and the waves
of the sea shall roar, and the heavens
shall be shaken, and the heavens and
earth shall pass off, and this generation
shall not pass away until my sayings are
fulfilled
Our informant states that geat excite
ment prevails among the people near
Quincy, in consequence of the prediction
of this marvellous egg, and that religious
meetings are being held at which large
numbers are converted 1t will be seen
by this that there are means of grace
besides those received by our orthodox
friends, aud men are to be saved through
singularly wrought hens egg. 1t is
also said that Col. Hays, of Gosport, has
offered Sl00 for this egg, and that Mr..
David Duncan, of Quincy, who saw this
egg, offers $500 to any person who will
produce another like it.

Abbeville on Saturday evening, the twelfth

old friends, but strangers remarked 1t. On
Wednesday morning following he committed
suicide. by shooting himself in the mouth.
in the house of Mr.. E. II. Riddel', and rs
soon as the room was entered, life was ex'
tinct. An inquest was held by Dir. Brous'
sard, the Coroner, and verdict rendered
to the effect that deceased came to his death
by shooting himself, while under mental
arrangement. His body was at once taken
charge of by AbbeviIle lodge OF Masons,
who, after performing the necessary and
usual Offices. forWarded the same TO this city.
The deceased was generally known and
highly esteemed in this community. he

As the reader will see by an announce

appointed our well-known feliow-citizen,
BENJAMIN T. Flanders, to the Office OF
MAYOR of New Orleans. The people are
so thoroughly familiar with the history of
the new appointee, that an extended notice
is quite unnecessary. We gave to our
readers a short sketch of his life on the
occasion of his being appointed Governor
in 1867. Since his retirement from the
pubernatorial chair, Mr.. Flanders has been
: nriyate citizen, residing portion OF the
time in Brooklyn. he possesses the
knowledge, ability and capacity TO
make an excellent chief magistrate for this
city, while his well known and long tried
character for integrity will commend the
respect of the better portion OF the Con-
servative party. Mr.. Flanders status as .
Radical Reppblican is undoubted, AND
