EJohn C. Bnlon, of this place,
twelve years ago the 9th of this month,
at the battle of SpottsYlvania Court
House, received a terrible wound, by
which he lost his entire left limb. A
minnie ball struck him just inside the
knee and ranged upward near the hip
joint, crashing the bone in its entire
length. The limb was amputated lit
tie below the hip joint, and Mr.. Bolon
still lives to tell the story. Daring this
winter he has been troubled little by .

near the hip, and one day last week he,
with bis own hands, cut into it and ex-
tracted the ball that had done the mis-
chic. twelve years ago. II weighed

A Graduating Class In Calico,

From the Adrian Mich. Journal
The High School graduating class of
'76 will 60 through their graduating ex-
ercise and receive their diplomas dressed
in calico; that is, the girls of the class
This takes away one great drawback to
graduation-the expense of gradua-
ting dress. In former years the dresses
of some classes have been very expen-
sive, and there have been instances
where young ladies have left school a
few weeks before graduating because
they were unable to stand the expense
of dressing as Will as did the rest OF
their class.

The Lobby's war with Mexico.

Washington Letter to the Chicago Times.)
There is q very energetic attempt on
the part Of the lobby forces to rush
things With Mexico. Finding that it is
impossible to make money in the usual
way, the lobby folks are striving to fan
the revolutionary flame in Mexico to s.
war heat which shall involve this coun.
try in crusade over the border. The
main movers in this scheme hold large
sums of Mexican bonds, and it is said
they propose following the example OF
England in seizing. custom houses and
paying themselves in gold in the event
Of war.

An OctOgenarian who Has Been
Gagged Like q Wild Beast for
Thirty Years.

Black Lick PENN Cor N. Y Sum-.
Thirty years ago William Fair, a
prominent citiz.n living near this will
age. attended a revival meeting then be-
ing held here in the manner OF the Prim-
tive Methodists He bacame relig-
ious enthusiast, and, imagining that he
had committed "the objectionable sin. !"
lost his reason He passed his entire
time in praving and singing. He be
lieved his wife and family prevented his
obtaining pardon for his sins, and be-
came so violent toward them that it was
found necessary to place him under re
straint. A room was fitted up with
stout oaken bars at the doors and win
dows, and i,e was imprisoned therein.
The skill of the best physicians has
failed to restore his mind, and he has
remained in confinement since lS45 -
His cell is as comfortable as it can be
made, and he has every attention. For
thirty years he has occupied every hour
in the day with lamentation over his lost
soul, in piteous appeals to God for par
don, and in singing revival hymns un-
known to the church-goers of to day
By pacing up and do Un the floor OF his
room, and by constant kneeling in par
ticular spots, he has WON great hollows
in the boards, which it has been Eeces-
sary to renew several times.
The unfortunate man is over eighty
years of age He is tall and apparently
in the best OF physical health, His hair
and beard are Of extraordinary length
He keeps his person and apartment neat
and clean, but allows no one to approach
him. He will not engage in converse
ton, his whole attention being given to
his incessant devotions. p

the following night to the Missouri river
and sunk it, and then burned his cabin
and fled He was arrested in Junction
City, Kan, and h4ng been convicted
of murder in the first degree, he was
sentenced to be hanged. but the case
was taken to the Court of Appeals, and
that tribunal reversed the Judgment
This morning tile prisoner pleaded gull.
ty of murder in the second degree, and
Julge Jones sentenced him to impris-
onment in the penitentiary for ninety.
nine years. There is a State law that
enables man who has been sentence
for life TO demand and receive his dis
charge at the end of fifteen years i'm.
prisonment Hence the term of ninety.
nine years was fixed.

From the Astorlan, Oct. Z.


About the centre of the city front, there
is an area of about 400 feet square, south
ward from and including the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company's wharf and
warehouse, where last June there was not
single structure of any kind, and no
labor exhibited other than the driving
of piles, and that work only just com
menced. Upon that same AGO feet square
to-day, there are now going forward ten
buildings, none of which are yet finished
and only three have roofs on, which three
have only advanced that far within ten
days, Of these ten, there is warehouse
and wharf 200 feet in length, three story
hotel, fifty feet front, two story board
ing house OF the same front, beautiful
$4,000 dwelling, Il two story saloon and
boarding house, two story beer hall
with rooms and offices in second story
and the foundations are laid and material
now being hauled for store to be occupi.
ed by n clothing merchant, two story
building which is already rented to a
party in Portland for restaurant; besides
a cellar foundation on the bank for a
house, the material Of which is just being
hauled. All these structures are to be
hard finished, and will cost from $500
to $4,000 each, not including the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company property,
which OF course is to be estimated more
than all the rest in outlay. Not bad for
400 icet square that was vacant less than
three months since.
