CIIAWED BIZ A RAT.-ssTlle strangest
things in the world'' are happening every
day, and night, too. for that matter, We
have before mentioned the tact, as our
readers are aware. that an order of mann
mails having two large incisor teeth in each
jaw, separated from the molar teeth by an
empty space, often called rodents, but
known under the more generally accepted
name OF rats, are becoming more numerous
than pleasant throughout the city; and ne
hear that even in the country surrounding
us they are becoming thick and bold. And
they grow, like everything else in Oregon,
to an enormous size. In regard to their
boldness. we have heard of several in
stances in which they have fearlessly at
tackled and bitten grown people, i'll some
cases infiicting serious wounds. Here's 5 a
case in point, reported to us yesterday
At a farmhouse not a great many miles
from this city, young lady while lying
asleep in her bed, during the night of
thursday last, was attacked and severely
bitten through the ear several times by a
monster rat. The srltldcnness of the at
tack. the young lady being wrapped in
profoundest slumber at the time, rendered
her incapable of speech or movement for
the moment; but upon the repeated attacks
OF the vicious animal an involuntary cry of
pain escaped from her lips. ca,lsing his rat
ship to cease his attacks for the moment
and awakening some of the family sleep-
ing in an adjoining room. who immedi-
afely appeared upon the scene. and drove
the rat away. The lady.s ear was pretty
hadly mutilated, and it win be some days
e re she will be able to .s.see Company

portion of the members composing the
three aforesaid families, especially the
adults, have been prostrated byllness. The
neighbors finding ont the situation of at- |
fairs, and that, owing to continued illness. |
there seemed to be no prospect of their be-
ing able TO get in a crop, turned out with |
their own teams and put in the crop for
them. No less than fifteen teams, owned |
by farmers of the neighborhood, were en-
gagged at one time in turning up the sod /
and putting i'll the grain for the afflicted
families. That's the way the Linn county
people treat new comers in distress, and
his is why we are proud of Linn county
md her people.
