Judge C. F. Trigg is still kept at

suited in the disloeation of his elbow.
He was sitting on light wooden rail
ing on the margin of one of his walk

stated. The dislocation was quickly re-
duced, but re-occurred some hours af

recovery, that the ligaments were in

DIR. Vance, forbids his leaving home at
present.

Mt. Hood OH the Fourth.

The plan proposed to ascend Mt.
Hood is beginning to arouse some
attention. The following has been
suggested by correspondent of the
Statesman:
During July, say the 4th, party
go up the mountain, large enough so
that each one, by carrying small
bundle, will make in the aggregate
considerable; and having two men who
are to stay to attend to things, and
the rest of the party descend the
mountain. At about 8 p. NJ. of the
said 4th of July, make bonfire and
send up some ssy-rockets, ETC., hav-
ing it SO we'll understood that people
in different towns throughout the
State can be on the lookout for the
same and ready to report.
The above can be done, we state,
from the assertions of those who have
been up andno on the same authority
say that the following will be done, viz:
A party leaves for Summit Prairie to
arrive on July I'd: 3D., ascend the
mountain to experiment; July 4th, go
up again and leave mementoes, flags,
etc, and with materials for the even
ing. Messrs. Broyles and Miller have
volunteered to stay on top of Mt.
Hood to attend to the fire. works.
The party spoken of will start from
Tygh Valley, and all others who de
sire to be one of those to ascend the
mountain can meet them at Summit
Prarie, 60 miles from Portland, good
wagon road all the way, on July 2d.
The articles necessary TO bring will
be complete set of camping utensils
of course-axes, guns, fishing rods,
compasses, thermometer, barometer

THE MAN O. AIRLIE.

Oh, there above, yon heather hill
Where foot IA comes but rarely,
There is horce they point out still,
Where dwelt the man of Airlie.
lie wore coat o. holden gray,
His hand was hard wi labor,
But still he had namely way
o. standin' by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made men rejoice,
His words the neighbors guided;
But little bairnies loved his voice
And in his smile confidcd;
The words to-day that left his lip
Became a deed tomorrow,
Hout, man, the friendship of his grip,
Would lift the heart o. sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in larnin sairly,
And yet ye'd pick him frae crowd,
The honest man of Airlie.
His wealth it was ma in his land,
1t was ma in the city;
A mint o honor was his hand,
His heart mine o pity.
He's dead and game, this Prince O. Fife,
Mute is his burly laughter;
But ah, the music of his life
That bides wi us lang after.
His memory lives, the man may die,
That fingers bright and lovin',
Just like star lost frae the sky,
Whose ray survives his ruin.
