SAD ACCIDENTAL short time since a
youth by the name of Alvin Mcknight
accidentally shot himself, near Fish
Lake, in the Cascade Mountains, where
his parents, who were moving to East
ern Oregon, had stopped to camp for the
night The unfortunate youth was en-
deavoring to draw the tent from the wag-
Onthepurpose fpitchingit, whena load
ed gun, which had been rolled up i'm the
tent a short time previous, struck against
the wagon in such manner as to 90 off,
discharging its contents in the breast ol
Alvin. He reeled backward, was caught
in bis fathers arms and laid gently on
the ground, when he gasped the words,
Goodbye, mother" and expired. The
next morning the stricken family turned
their steps in the direction of their old
home in Linn county and buried Their
first-bOrn in the family graveyard at
Sand Ridge. Deceased was Is years and
9 months old. This account is CLEANED
from the local columns Of the Albany
Democrat.

LITERATURE AS A PROFESSION
have said elsewhere, that success as an
editor is necessary evidence of no tram
seendent ability. Editing is a profess
sion, business; and so i'm any other
business, qualification for il consists
partly indeed i'm pure force of intellect.
but largely In special adaptation of nat
ural qualities, and largely in training
But success i'm purely literary work is a
very different matter. That is attaina-
BILE only by rare powers, which very few
possess. We feel constantly moved to
vigorous remOnstrance, in seeing young
people starting in an almost hopeless at
tempt to achieve q "literary career"
Worst of all are the too frequent cases
where the aim includes the winning of
pecuniary support. Anyone who, with
out experience, contemplates such an
attempt, ought to know that it is about
as easy to make a decent living solely
by the use of the pen, as by searching on
the highway for dropped coins. Few,
even with thorough education and real
talent, can earn livelihood by literary
composition; and most of that few find
their course uncertain, trying, and un-
comfortable to the last degree. If you
hope to live by your pen, do not under
any circumstances trust to that alone.
Fit yourself for some regular business,
as proOf-reader, or reporter, or editor.
Make up your mind to do as much
drudgery as most men do. Cultivate
the practical qualities Of diligence,
thoroughness, and business skill; and
don't trust to genius for bread and but
ter. You may have genius enough to
keep your name alive for centuries, but
it is very doubtful whether it will earn
a comfortable support for you while you
live.-ChriStidn Union

Miss ANTHoNY's ADDREss.-The au-
dlence that listened to the able address
OF Miss Anthony last evening numbered
about one hundred persons, among
whom were several members of the Leg
islature. Notwithstanding the fatigue
incident to stage ride over the portage,
Miss Anthony spoke with her usual
ability and logic, carrying conviction to
many minds. Before closing, she intro
duced TO the audience Mrs. Duniway,
the sprightly editress of the NEW
NORTHWEST, who made a few remarks
about her paper. Her statements that
she began her editorial career by rock
ing the cradle, that she was the mother
of her type-setting sons, and that she
had earned the type by her sewing ma
chine, were received with applause. Mr..
and Mrs. Duniway will accompany Miss
Anthony in her tour of the Sound. We
hope both ladies will address us again,
and that they will put the admission fee
within the reach of the masses, for there
are few in this community who can af-
ford to pay a dollar for any kind of en-
tertainment.-Oi olympia Tribune.

FRIDAY.-..........-.OCTOBER 27, 1871.

THE PANIc.-The musical concert
given last Friday evening for the aid of
the sufferers by the recent devastating
fires was quite success. Some 81, ,2OOw
realized. A panic which occurred among
the audience during the fore part of the
evening, however, greatly marred the
remaining portion Of the concert. Some
mischeivous boy, it seems, amused him.
self bv throwing stones upon the roof,
the sounds of which instantly conveyed
to the minds of a vast majority Of the
multitude the idea that the building
was about to crumble to pieces. Imme-
diately there was grand rush for the
door and windows. Many were severely
wounded in escaping through the win
dows by the broken glass, such being
the panic that many absolutely forced
their way through the window panes,
regardless of bruises or wounds. To add
TO the confusion some one shouted
"Firer' The audience at length per-
ceiving that the building was neither
falling nor on fire, gradually quieted
down somewhat, though perfect order
was not restored during the evening.
Many are the ludicrOus stories told of
scenes connected with the panic, which
viii furnish an abundant supply of Incl
dent and aneedote for some time to
come
The rendition Of the pieces was par
ticularly creditable, taking into account
the fact of so short time for prepara-
ton. The 'Tyrolean Warblers" gave
some of their Characteristic pieces, which
ELECTED immense applause. Miss Mayer
was warmly encored, and deservedly,
too. She is a very fine singer, and with
the proper training is capable of doing
almost anything with her voice. The
choruses were heartily sung and the or
chestra was fully up to the requirements
of the occasion. Taken altogether, but
for the panic it would have been one of
the most pleasing concerts ever given
in Portland

EDITORIAL CALL.-We acknowledge
the compliment of call, made by Mrs.
a. J. Duniway, the talented and enter
prising editress of the New NORTHWEST,
who accompanies Miss Anthony on her
lecturing tour of the Sound. The adj
mirable results of the lady's efforts to
establish her journal were set forth i'm
her remarks of Tuesday evening. She
said she began the enterprise sixteen
years ago, by rocking the cradle of, and
singing lulla5ys to, the oldest of the
three sons who perform the mechanical
labor upon her paper. The type and
material were paid for out of the earn
ings of her own sewing machine, and the
editorial labOrwas performed exclusively
by herself. a noble example of the en-
terprise of American wOmanhOOd when
emancipated from the thralldOm which
has hitherto bound her down to the
frivolities and vanities of life May it
stimulate others to effort, and fit them
for the duties which they will soon be
called upon to discharge as co-labOrers in
the great problem of self-government.-

y. p. RAILROAD.-We learn from
General Sprague, says the Herald, that
the first twenty-five miles of the North
Pacific Railroad will be completed by
about the latter end Of November, and
that the contract for building forty
miles more of the road will be let in a
day or two. It is expected to have this
latter section finished early next season,
and when completed the road will be
within fifteen miles of Olympia. The
Western end of the road is being pushed
ahead rapidly. The contract for build
ing two hundred miles west from the
Red River of the North was let a few
days ago to +. E. Canda, and it is pre-
posed to forward it as rapidly as possi-
bic. This section Will also be completed
during the coming year. 1t is the in
tention to commence running ears on
this end Of the road as soon as the twen-
ty-five miles are finished. Two first-class
passenger locomotives, two passenger
ears, mail express, and a baggage ear,
will arrive at Kalama in few days.
Four thousand tons of iron are also ex-
pected there in couple of weeks. A
machine shop 40xlOO is also being con-
structed in Kalama, and when that is
finished the population of the village
will be materially increased, as a large
number of workmen are to be en-
plOyed.

STATE FAIR STATIsTICs.-The Sec
retary of the State Agricultural Society,
says the Statesman, finds that the result
so far shows the receipts to have been
Sl3,92 6S, or an increase over last year
of S5S2 90. To this is to be added some
$500, received on licenses, the exact fig
ures are not remembered, making in
all over $500 increase on receipts of 1870.
The entrance money was some $50 ovei
1870, and the license about 5000. Who
says the Fair was poorly attended?
