Chapter of Accidents at Harrisburg.

ED. REGISTER Last night, an old
gentleman by the name Of Jas. Clark,
I understand late of Albany met with
severe accident, which happened as
follows:
He was occupying a room mp stairs,
at the Union Hotel, and having occa-
sion to pass out during the night, went
to the door over the stairway, and
supposing there was platform in
'front.' stepped out and tell to the side
walk, a distance of some twelve feet,
striking, in the tall, a swinging sign,
with his chin, and cutting a severe cash
therein, besides receiving other bruises.
The noise occasioned by the fall,
aroused a number Of dodgers at the ho-
tel. who rushed hnrriedly down to the
scene, and found the old gentleman al
most in a state of unconsciousness. He
was carried In and medical assistance
Immediately procured. 1t is thought
he is not fatally injured, but being
quite old. it will be some time before
he entirely recovers.
This morning as the lamp in the bar
room Of the hotel was being turned
down, It exploded, making a noise
something like the discharge of a small
cannon. The room being full Of guests
at the time, it was a wonder no one
was hurt, as the lamp was blown to
atoms. and the contents scattered over
the floor. Among the guests was Col.
Joe Teal, who was sitting astride q
chair in front OF the stove. The Col.
was not scared, but 1t is strange how
SOON he thought Of some pressing busi-
ness down town, and Immediately
walked ~ out, leaving his chair In an
inverted position. As soon, however,
as it was ascertained that no serious
damage had been done, the gallant
Col. was seen coming In at = side door
tle had gone ont at another. 1t was
suggested by a by-stander. that the
Col. would prove an efficient soldier
against the Modocs, as he would act
upon the suggestion, that
"He who from the fight shall run away,
May live to fight some other day."

CARELESS. We noticed train of
cars, on the switch running along the
river 'front.'. on Tuesday, sloslling up
and down without giving any alarm
neither sounding the 'talarm bell " or
footing the whistle. Possibly there Is
a way 10 compel the due observance Of
the law In the matter, on the part Of
officers Of the o. q 6. r. r., and we
suggest that It be tried on At once.

Letter From John Day valley.


DEAR REGIsTER:--I've got an item
nothing less than an earthquake or
an avalanche in the Blue Mountains !!
Some say one, some say the other, but
the facts are like this: On the l4th
inst, quarter otwelve O'Clock, noon,
the people of this vicinity were greatly
surprised by hearing, very little east
of a south direction, what sounded
like four or five reports of heavy can
nonading, at regular intervals of say
ten seconds, which was followed by a
rumbling, rolling, crashing noise un-
like anything ever heard before. |
felt no sensation of the earth's vibra-
tion, but learn it did roll and rock ina
very unbecoming manner few miles
east OF Canyon City, OH what is COM
monty known as French Charley Hill,
stampcding the cattle. Dogs ran
yelping and would not be comforted,
for their scare was exceedingly great.
I've always thought | would like to
experience just one earthquake, for the
novelty of the thing, but am now sat
isfied with the noise of the thing with
out any more violent manifestations.
Doc. Anderson says his springs are
running more water since that event.
But believe You don't know who Doc.
is, so will tell you. He is the pro-
prietor OF the very celebrated lin this
country Warm Springs, situated at
the head Of John Day Valley, imme-
diately at the foot Of the Blue Noun
tains. There resort the elite aud in
valid; Fourth Of July's congregate
there and Doc. has ever so big q hall
where the lads and lassies dance to
their hearts delight. Rare medical
virtues are claimed for these springs,
I've tried them I've splashed in their
waters without being bit afraid, and
then with a grin determination have
passed ever sundry smooth quarters
that cost me deal of pains to accu-
mulate. | find them efficient, very
efficient lin taking off dirt.
Let me tell you story; don't
care whether you believe it or not, but
I tell it as 1t was told to me: Many
years ago, our hero was living, honor
ed and respected, oh one Of the many
romantic streams of Arkansas. But,
like many Of his worthy countrymen,
he had high aspirations. So bidding
his poor but honest parents adieu, he
set his face for sunset, and manfully
whacked Q bull team to the golden
shores of the Pacific. After many
ups and downs of q miners life, he
finally found himself the happy posses
sor of 3 100 acre rancho in the JOna-
than Day Valley. Our hero was no
married man. No, he had no better
half to share his joys and soften his
trials and Troubles; no, he lived all
alone. He had but one trouble in the
world. Confdentially he would tell
you. somebody's stealing his shirts;
before they were half worn ont they
would misteriously disappear. He
was sure he had one on in going to
bed at night, but no shirt could he
find in the morning. Time rolled on.
He didn't fell as well az usual he
would gn to the Warm Spring; he
wcu',l take hath. He did so. Those
lost shirts appeared, even to the very
ore he wore across the plains In 40.
Times up here are pretty good.
Winter light; everything lovely. and
the goose suspended.
Yours, w. f. s.
