DIED. AT the residence of her
grandson, /. N. Smith, near Peoria,
Mrs. Martha Smith, in the oath year Of
her age Mrs, S. was born in the old
Red Sandstone Fort, on the present site
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, August u
1880. Her father, JAS Patton, was

life, she grew to womanhood, was mar
ried, and afterwards, with her family,
emigrated to Illinois when that was
still new country. She afterwards
moved to Iowa, and came to Oregon in
1870. She raised family of seven
sons and three daughters, all of whom
have raised large families, and her
descendants in the direct line now
living perhaps number more than one
hundred. She was venerable relic
of q generation past, of unclouded
mind; full of anecdotes of Revolution
ary days and times, of cheerful spirit,
and above all devoted and humble
christian.
THE STATE FAIR.-Since our last
issue we have received the following
note from r. A. Irvine, ESQ.,, Chief
Marshal of the State Fair:
II noticed in the DEMOCRAT THAT the
State Fair was continued until
Wednesday for the purpose of com
pletipg the programme, which is
erroneous. got behind two days on ac-
count of bad weather, but with the aid
of my Assistant Marshals, Jason
Wheeler and J. r.. Herren, by Friday
night was up with the programme,
mid there was more stock to pass upon
than ever before. Being compelled to
come home on Sunday on account Of
sickness in my family, / left Mr..
Joseph Nixon in my place, and he says
the gates were not closed after Sunday.
He remained there until all those
parties that were running stands or
booths had left. The gate keeper at
!. the State Fair took in $4,000. They
paid the full amount on premiums
under $500, and so per cent on all over
that amount.n-
SUDDEN DEATH.-Last Saturday an
old lady of this city-Mrs Fox-died
very suddenly at her residence. She
was sitting in an easy chair in front of
the Fireplace, and her daughter hav-
ing stepped out of the room for some
purpose, hearing fall, ran back and
found the poor old lady lying PROSTATE
on her face on the hearth. The fright
ened daughter quickly drew the pros
trate body from its close contact with
the fire, and ran across the street to
DIR. Geary's for help, but before any
one arrived at the house the old lady
was stone dead. She had been poorly
for some weeks, but no one suspected
her critical condition, until death had
silently and swiftly claimed her for his
own. She leaves two sorrowing sons
and daughter in this city.
LosT.-Mrs. G. A, Hill, last week
while gathering shells near BurkharI
creek, just east of this city, suspended
an elegant camel's-hair shawl or scarf
on bush, and shortly afterward mar
A came along in a wagon, and seeing the
shawl hanging there all alone, got
down, put it in his wagon and drove
on. "A person near by saw the action
but did net understand that anything
was wrong and therefore permitted tht
man to 60 off with the valuable article.
The supposition is that the mai
thought the shawl was lost and thai
he is now keeping it until he can dis
cover the owner Should his eye catcE
this notice he will know to whom th'
shawl belongs, and will confer specia
favor by leaving the article at thi
office or HIPS Drug Store in this city
How HE HAD THE CHAPLAIN
Capt Jack got off sumner on thu
Chaplain who was trying to conver
him few days before the execution
The Good Chaplain was describing th'
glories of the Heavenly Kingdom il
glowing language, telling Jack hov
much happier one would be in tina
bright land than on this earth, whel
the Modoc chief, apparently catching
at albright idea, said: "You cumtu'
happy land-you like it so much NOR
than this-is that so?" "Oh, yesi'
answered the enthusiastic chaplain
who thoughthe saw signs of speed,
repentance in the Indians animate
countenance. "Well, then" said Capt
Jack, time give you ten horses yo
take my place to be choked to death!
