The quiet little burg of Champoeg,
so the Statesman is informed by
David Weston, Esq, was thrown into
state of excitement few days since
by the rumors of a case of genuine
child-murder. The facts as related
to us by third party, were substan-
TALLY as follows: A halfbreed named
Rrockford returned home under the
influence OF liquor and commenced
maltreating his wife and family, and
finally picked up his little three-year
daughter and literally dashed its
brains out on the floor, The child
received injuries from which it very
soon died, and was buried on Satur-
day last. Strange to relate, no arrests
have yet been made.
NJ, Shortridge, of Cottage Grove,
writes the Farmer as follows in re-
gard to the Excelsior oats raised by
him, of which we have made mention
heretofore: AS regards those oats,
they yield about the same in number
of bushels to the acre as the side oats
of our valley do; but when it comes
to weighing them, there is where the
farmer will gain. On rich bottom
land they are inclined to grow rather
tall unless sown pretty thick, Two
years ago l tramped out on my barn
floor 81 dozen of those kind of oats
and cleaned up All bushels. They
are fine oats to thresh with a machine,
as they are not apt to blow over in
cleaning them.
