A man by the name of T. T. Mann, who can't be much of man, and if he ever was he disgraced his manhood, whipped his wife yesterday, and Justice Cate was man enough to fine him $500, or six months in the Coun- ty jaii.
 Wife beating is the lowest, and most con temptable crime of which it is possible for a man to be guilty, and any punishment short of death cannot be too severe, 1t IS said by way of apology that the woman was to blame, that she has a dreadful tenn per, that she is wildcat, termagant, etc, all of which is just no excuse at all; the world is wide enough for both of them, and if man cannot live with woman without whipping her, we say let him leave, and go where he can live in peace.

Holders are not obliged to take it and the Bank certainly had right to made the offer. 1t is simply an affair where if there is no trade there IS no harm done to either party, as no body is out cent on it,

During the past week there has been con.
siderable talk in this valley over the rumored
failure Of the heavy firm of t. Cunningham
{ Co, which has been dealing in agricultural
supplementary Portland. saies,.4sr6d SaSasass,
bat after having inquired into The matter We
are led TO believe that thotallS IS composed
81 = great deal more fuss than feathers. .
Their own versiea OF the affair IS this. The
iiFm has been doing an immense business in
the sale Of the MeCornick self,binder and
tho Garden City plow, 50 much so that they
have seriously interfered with the sales of
one or two other firms in this State. and
those firms are trying in sogae way TO force
them TO The wall Reports were sent cast to
the firm manufacturing the Garden City
plow thst Cunningham & CO were in bad
condition financially. and that company i'm.
meiiately sent one Of their men out here to
collect what was due them, They dij not
announce their intention TO de SO and Gun.
hinghaIh & Co. did not know anything Of it
uneil one morning $1,000 was demanded If
them As they had sold all agricultural i'm,
plemcats on credit until after harvest, of
course they eonld not meet tho demand.
Tho agent Of the plow company threatened
sue, and to prevent sueh proceedings Gun,
bingham s Co. made an assignment Of their
iness - three trustees for the benefit OF
kheir creditors. When an inventory OF the
basiesss was taken i was foand the firm was
rszta faliy $4,000 after paying all liabi6.
A settlement was made Immediately
vita the nlow company and they received
evesy cent duo taeaa, and all other creditors
uiH 8 served i the same way. They have
not failed, aaa are still doing business at all
their cid places, We make this lengthy
statement Of their affairs which they say is
correct ior the purpose OF correcting the
damaging reports in regard TO them which
ara now in circulation throughout the valley.

On Monday last two Of our disciples Of

sibility Of evidence IN case bofore Squire
Lister. and one Of them mildly intimated
that the other was given to the habit of not
sticking closely to the truth. The other con-
tradjcted the statement, and remarked that

eral chronological bumps upon the head of
Blackstone No. l If he reiterated such dam
aging staeeraent- No. gathered a chair and
insrreaiately reiterated, but just at this
stage Of proceedings the Justice arrived, at
the conclusion that such actions would not
add to the honor of his court, and he inform.
cd the belligerents that if they really meant
business he would adjourn and they could g
down into the court yard and settle the ques.
ton according to the rules of the P. R. But
