Another Drive of Legs.

John Mahar has just made drive of fifteen
hundred thousand feet of handsome saw logs
from the source Of Hamilton Creek to the
saw-mill owned by Geo. and A. A. Settlemier,
on the .Santiam. He started with the fifteen
hundred Thousand feet, and when he arrived
at the mill he had three extra logs. He can
not account for his gain in any other way
than that those three logs are the same which
Allen, Robinson & Co lost in their drive
down the CalapOoia.

the heart with Remington rife His wife
had got up a few moments before and gone
into the kitchen, and he then arose and got
the rife. and going back 50 the bed, shot Kim

out doubt his continued sickness He had
been unwell for some time and showed synlp-
toms of having contracted disease Of the
lungs, and has frequently stated that he never
would submit to die by inches as persons do
who are afflicted with consumption. This
certainly was the cause which resulted in bis

stances, being worth so, coo or $50, 600, and
