SUICIDE OF AN OLD CITIzEN-On
last Friday evening John S. Ullery-
who has for many years resided in the
southwest corner of Benton county, at
what is known as Ullery's Landing on
the Willamette-comm suicide ty
taking laudanum. He arrived home
from Harrisburg, where he had b, en-
during the day on business, and, walk
ing into the house, drew glass of beer
from keg which he usually kept in
the house, slipped the laudanum into
1t and drank the contents down anno-
ticed. He then turned to his wife and
children, took each of them by the
hand and hade them an affectionate
farewell, telling them he would in a
few moments be in eternity. He gave
some minute directions in regard to the
proper distribution and arrangement oi
the property, then threw himself on
the bell, ami after a short space of suf.
fering, sank quietly into death. No
cause is known for the rash act save
the fact that he had recently become
somewhat addicted to intemperance.- -
Deceased was about 45 years old, was
a thrifty and energetic. farmer, and
generally regarded as an honorable and
useful citizen. He leaves a wife and
several children to mourn over his sad
and untimely fate.
ACcIDENT.-Last Monday evening,
as Mr.. J. u. Mcconnell and wife were
returning to their farm from this city,
in a buggy, the horses became fright
ened at the sudden appearance of the
freight train at the roai-crossing just
below town, and backed off the side of
the bridge which spans the creek in
that vicinity, upsetting the buggy and
throwing both of its occupants violent
ly to the ground. Mrs. Mcconnell was
badly bruised about the face, but Mr..
NJ. we believe, was unharmed. The
horses plunged forward at the fall, re-
leasing themselves from the buggy by
breaking the tongue, AMI ran back to
the center of town before they Were
caught. The buggy was badly demor-
allied and one of the horses severely
hurt by the point of the buggy tongue
being accidentally driven into his
flank. Taking into consideration the
fact that the fall from the bridge was
considerable, it is remarkable that the
injuries sustained by Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Connell We're so slight The latter is
quite old and feeble and can lily bear
such violent shocks, even though re-
eeiving no bodily injury We trust
she may soon recover.
ShIo.-By private alvices from 5cio
we CLEAN the following items of news:
Unless il rains the crops will be un-
der average, and some of the spring
wheat and oats hardly worth harvest
ing The fall wheat and the early
sown spring wheat promises splendidly
AS an indication, however, that the
farmers expect to do considerable har-
vesting i'll that region We are informed
that on last saturday II essrs. Irvine d
Morris, merchants of Scio, sold two
Thousand dollars worth OF agricultural
machinery
There is plenty of money at Scio 10
loan on approved security. In fact it is
almost drug.
Parson Davis (the ferryman) and
his wife were each fined So for cutting
down a bridge OR the Tindall ferry
road leading from Scio TO the Marion
depot
WAREHoUsE.-By reference TO the
advertisement elsewhere it will beseen
that C.. 3. Comstock & Co. will soon
have their warehouse open for the re-
'ception of grain. The building is gen.
orally known as the Markham ware
house, is large and capacious, and well
calculated to contain an Immense
amount of grain. VIM. S. Newbury
will be left in charge of the establish
ment, and as he comes among US with
the best of recommendations, We are
satisfied that our farmers will find it to
their advantage to patronize this ware
house. Read the ad.
LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.-During this
dry season our citizens cannot observe
too much caution against fire. Al
though we have a good fire engine and
a well organized company, yet the
scarcity of cisterns and other means of
procuring water limits the use of the
firemen's apparatus to a very small
space of the city. The desolation OF
