reGeating trip in the neighborhsod Of
Sublimity, Marion county, furnishes
us with the following items:
Mr.. Sears, of Marion county kfather
of A. z. Sears, of this eity1 was badly
hurt few days ago, by his frightened
team backing off bridge into Mill
Creek, at Staton's Mill.
Mr.. Potter will shortly launch new
ferry boat on the North Santiam, I
miles. above Silverton, in place of the
one washed away last winter.
The sheep-raisers living in the vicin-
ity of Sublimity, have al organization
designed to wipe out the wolves IN that
locality. Each member pays into the
treasury, when wolf is killed, 25 cents,
which goes to the wolf-slayer. The or
ganization is so large that for each
wolf killed about S35 is realized by the
fortunate hunter.
Mr.. Station is going to erect large
grist mill at Statonville, s or 10 miles
above Marion Station, this season.
]. ". Johns has about completed a
commodious warehouse at Marion Sta

large amount of grain from that pro-
ductive locality.

supplied the Albany market with
strawberries few months ago, will
sell about coo gallons of blackberries

There was nearly disastrous fise II
Mart. Payne's farm last Saturday, oc-
casioned most likely by some carcies:
traveller throwing a lighted match OF
cigar down by the roadside. The grass
burned quite lively along the fence fol
several yards, and even extenied
through the fence into the wheat, which
was fortunately not dry enough fol
burning. If the wheat had been lit.
tie dryer it would have undoubtedly
been a disastrous confiagration, de-
stroyipg many thousand bushels. Peo.
pie cannot be too careful of fire this dry
weather.
