NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-From
our correspondent at Hllscy we have the
following, under date of February 18th
Mr.. T. Pollard, and old and respected citi-
zen, who was born on the il:st day of the
present century and is consequently over
| seventy-siX years old, w:ls walking ND the
| railroad track yesterday, in company with
little grandson some ten or twelve years
old, apparently in a deep study, when the
regular train arrived ut the depot. MIR.
Pollard was about one hundred yards from
the depot ut the time. and all at once SEEM
cd to realize that he was in danger. The
sense of danger was too much for his ner-
vous system, aid he fell forward OH bis face
on the track as helpless as an infant Ills
little grandson lifted and pulled with all
his might to get his grandfather off the
track out of danger. but was unable to move
him. when, fortunately, 3Iessrs. +. Hays
and j. Irvine, who Happened to be near by,
saw the imminent danger of the old gentle
man, and promptly went to his rescue,
assisting him to to the depot. Iftle occur
renee had taken place anywhere else almost
he doubtless would have been killed. As
it was he was almost frightened to death.
GREENHoRN.-The other day Mr.. Frank
Woods, who had just returned from his
mines ut Greenlorn oil the Santiam, spent
4 few moments i'll our sanetum. Mr..
Woos dreports the travelling very bad-mud
and wafer till you can't rest-between this
city and the mines. He reports that
good deal of work will have to be done
before work can be resumed The ditch
or fnme carrying water to tile mines has
given way in several places, and will have
| to be rebuilt. lie left parties at work cut
/ ting timber and hauling brush to strength
en- the fiume and to build large reservoir
to hold water for piping and working the
claims. lie is sanguine that a good sea-
sons work will be done, and thlt tie dirt
! 1t is "a hydraulic claim, and if it pays the
coming season, other parties will doubtless
take up and improve claims on the Santi-
am, that give equally as good indications
of pay Dirt as does the Greenhorn. We
hope the Greenhorn may pan out better
| than even its owners anticipate.

SHOOK UP.-Accorling to our friend
Frank Woods, who spent two weeks at the
Greenhorn mines on the Santiam, on the
morning of the sth inst, tour distinct
earthquake shocks were felt in tile mount
aims. The shocks we're some minutes
apart, were not strong enough to rend the
mountains, but indicated the presence of a
young earthquake.
CHICKEN TIIIEYEs.-It is reported to us
that a few nights since number of chick
ems were stolen from Mart Payne's. on
First street. About the same time three
dozen chickens were nipped from Lui Mil
Ter. This would seem to indicate that
some one is doing a fowl business on pret-
ty extensive scale.
