SCIo NEws-The initial number of

1t is four column paper, 81. HI. King,
editor, published every Thursday, at

Messrs. Wheeler & Ostrander have
packed nearly two hundred thousand
pounds of pork this season. They had
forwarded ten tons of a superior quality
of bacon to San Francisco.
Although large quantities Of dried
apples have been shipped from Scio to
Salem, there is quite supply still on
hand. Farmers are studying economy,
and are saving the products of both farm
and orchard.
w. N. Snyder left Scio on Tuesday
with five teams heavily freighted with
butter, eggs, intended for the San Fran
cisco market.
The young folks of Scio were enjoying
themselves over oyster suppers during the
evenings, and their excess of spirits de-
stroyed the rest of the editor.

The King of Prussia recently visited a
needle manufactory in his kingdom, in or

the human hand could produce. He was
shown number Of superfne needles,
thousands of which together would not
weigh half an ounce, and marveled how
such minute objects could be pierced

more perfect could be created. The

A HUSBAND PUBLICLY HoRsEwHIP-
PED.-Recently wife in Philadelphia
publicly horsewhipped her husband on
the street. 1t appears the wife has a
stand in the market; the husband is a
butcher. He was in the habit of getting
on drunk occasionally, absenting him.
self from home until all his money was
used up, then going to his wife's stand
in the market and taking all of her
money, and spending it in the same way.
A short time ago, on the recurrence
of one of these sprees, she went to the
saloon where he was spending his money,
and presenting pistol, informed him
that if he did not accompany her home
she would shoot him. He obeyed her.
Soon after, however, he was at his old
tricks again. His wife's patience was
entirely exhausted, and, getting huge
black snake " whip, she again made hel
appearance at his rendezvous, and i'm.
mediately commenced using the whir
over the shoulders of her husband with
all the power of which she was master
and did not cease until exhausted by the
exertion. He accompanied her home al
her order, and it is thought the lessor
will be salutary one to him.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATEs.--From the
number of candidates in the Democratic
party looking for promotion to Office at
the coming State election, we expect to
see diyely time during the meeting OF
the State Democratic Convention in this
city. The "boys" wing or branch of the
partyf fn Oregon, have already put upon
the skte as their candidate for Governor.
GroYsr, of Salem Rev. Smith, of Salem,
for II. s. Senate, and Geo. r. Helm,
ESQ. .ypresent Clerk of Linn County, ftr
Congress. But another branch of the
Democracy claims show in the nomina-
tions. This section of Democracy, led
by the "three laboring lawyers" of Port
land, will probably play big hand in
the Convention. One of the trio wants
the nomination for Governor, and with
the help of the wing which they control,
will doubtless make it warm for the
"boys." Another wing of the party
will present the name of Mr.. Bush,
panKer, OF Salem, but 1t Is thought that
unless this wing "comes down" literally
with the cash, it will cut no figure with
the bed-rockers. It is thought that the
chances, at present, are with the s'three
laboring lawyers" for if they put their
wing up to the "rule or ruin" game, a
nomination to suit them must be made,
or a Republican victory will cnsue. This
"rule or RUM game has been played sue
cessfully before, and may win again.
Altogether it is very pretty muddle,
and promises to make the Convention more
than usually interesting. AS the Repub-
lican party proposes to elect its entire
State ticket in june, it only shows what
great exertions men will make for short.

CUBAN AFFAIRs.-Thc following par
agraph from Colonel Forney's paper,
quite in contrast with those which he
was in the habit of writing some weeks
ago, undoubtedly expresses the view now
taken by the administration, of affairs in
Cuba He says The Cubans persist
emily and fauntingly violated the laws
of tho United States, and blunted the ar
dent sympathy with which the loyal peo-
pie of the North regarded them. Instead
of spending their means in the purchase
of arms and ammunition, the carriage of
which, under the American flag, Mr.. Fish
informed them would be protected on
the high seas, the Cuban Junta, under
the advice of rebel privateers and ex-
confederate generals and other military or
naval officers, publicly organized an illegal
expedition of armed men in New York,
and fitted out illegal vessels from the
ports Of the United States, Instead of
bending their energies to rendering prac-
| tical assistance to the men who were
fighting for their cause in Cuba, they
spent them in vain effort to SOW dissen-
sion between General Grant and his cab
met, and to weaken the administration
in Congress and before the people. Left
thus alone, the armies of Cuba dwindled
away: place after place was lost, until
not town was left to them, and the per-
ipatetic movements of Cespedes, which,
but for the bad management and bad
faith of the Cuban managers and their
friends, might have put itself in condl-
tion to be recognized by government
whose sympathics were with it. has not

The Irving correspondent of the Litcz-
field Monitor, gives the following illustra-
tion of the power of a true wife over a
husband who had entered the ruinous
career of gambler:
stepped into our new saloon the
other day to gather what news items the
place might afford All were busy play
ing cards, billiards, and tipping the
when all at once the door opened and a
lady stood quietly looking in. 1t was a
young wife who saw the man whom she
loved as her life - her husband on
| whom her happiness or misery depended
"a frequentcr of a gambling hell . On
seeing her husband at table playing,
with her voice ladened with grief, morti-
fcation, and love, she said, & Husband,
come home! Come, dear, and go home
with me !' The effect was electric.
Had Gabriel sounded his trumpet it
could not have created much greater con-
sternation in the ranks of rum, than did
those loving words, husband come
home !" The kind but astonished hus-
Ddnu went uOuie Win the D6Sb lIleu0 ue
has in this world-his wife. T shall al,
ways think better of him for it.
His partner in the game trembled with
excitement for he too had wife and
loved ones at home. Billiards and beer
all at once lost their charm for him
He shook hands with the bar keeper, and
| called the attention of the crowd to the
fact that he had resolved never to plas
another game IN that grocery. As be re-
tired, the saloon keeper implored him te
come back, saying, if you allow your
self to be scared off in this way by these
women, you will break me up"
In my imagination, I see the gentle
opening of q door, and hear the modest
wife as in mortifying grief she lovingly
says: Husband, come home! Come dear
| and go home with me y
The above item is no fiction, it is &C
tually true, save the suppression of the
