Ed. GAZETTE: Seeing nothing from Soap
Creek in the GAZETTE, lately, thought a
few lines might not be amiss. The farmers
are all very busy-some few are through
threshing. The fall grain yields very well,
but spring grain is very poor, probably not
more than half crop. Some farmers are not
cutting their spring sown grain.
We have heard of some trouble among
threshing crowds. resulting in black eyes and
scratched noses. A little fracas took place
here on the 7th, but I will call NO names.
Some hard words passed, and a chair was
raised, but the party did not have the sand
to use it. The other party clinched and
choked him, when he hollered manfully,
and told his wife to bring him the shot gun
which she did not do. No great harm
done-both, 1 believe, are ready for their
hash. SOAP CREEKER.

G. 3. MCDONALD.

ED. CORVALLIS GAZETTE When he and
visited your city last April, and your citi
zens were electrified with the eloquent tenn
perance speeches which he delivered there
and so sick, at the time, that / could NOT
attend his lectures, little did l think that
should now speak nf him as gone to the
silent tomb, while am in fair health. In
due time an obituary will appear, giving
some of the outlines of the life of this most
gifted and talented Scotchman, who is
gone from our midst. 1t was owing to a
letter of mine, sent to him last spring at
April. to aid here in the temperance work.
About the 18th of that month, as we were
roomed together in his favorite room in the
Chemeketa Hotel in Salem-the same one
which he so long occupied when editing the
Oregon Statesnaan-he stated that just two
months ago, that day, he had emerged from
. long night of mental and bodily disease in
Oakland, and telt that he was redeemed
man. He said that he was fully able to
stand by the power Of his own will. l told
him that the will power sometimes was too
weak to contend successfully against the
power of a raging appetite. But he seemed
self confident that he should hold out faith
fully to the end of his life. Alas /! how lit
tie did he know of himself. 1 perceived
that he had an intense gnawing in his stom-
ach for strong stimulants. Over one pound
of the very strongest tobacco, weekly, in
smoking, and nine cups of strong coffee
daily seemed to be required to appease his
craving diseases for stimulation, instead of
brandy. He depended not on God for help
and strength to battle with that chronic
appetite for strong drink. That raging de-
sire overcome his will power, and he fell in
the temperance lecture field. The struggles
of his mind the sore temptations to in.
dulge again in the use of strong drink were
known to him alone. A bright light in the
literary world is blown out. Whisky has
conquered him, as it will Others" This
dreadful downfall of temperance lecturer
is no stigma to the temperance cause. II
proves the power of long continued use OF
alchohol seated in the stomach to overcome
the greatest OF men. ID. NEwsoME.

CONFESSED HIS CRIME.-It is said that
Jackson Grant, who entered q plea of guilty
in the state circuit court to the indictment
of murder in the first degree, and who was
sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge Bel
linger for the period of his natural life, is
rapidly recovering. When he was taken to
the pen1tentiary he could scarcely stand with
out assistance, and it was the general opin-
ion that Grant would not live month. Pris-
on diet and air seem to have wrought ben
eficial effect and he is regaining his wonted
health. Since his incarceration Grant IS re-
ported to have made a confession. He adj
mits that he murdered Dennis Spellen for
money. The only discrepancy between
Grants confession and the evidence of the
colored man, Smith, and his wife, who were
the principal witnesses in the case, Is: Smith
and his wife both testified that Grant con-
fessed to the murder of Spellen at their house,
and Grant declars that he never made such
q confession In Smiths house, but told him
of it down on the streets. In all other re-
poets the confession agrees with the evidence
given by Smith and his wife.-Oregonson
[The Salem Statesman of q late date, de-
nies that Grant has made any confession.

A SUPPOSED MURDERER CAUGHT. .-On
Tuesday letter was received by the sheriff,
says the Albany Register, stating that one
Of the supposed parties engaged in the mur-
der of Mrs. Hager, near Oregon City few
months since, named Russell Bennett, was
in this county somewhere. Deputy Sheriff
George Humphrey went to work in the mat
ter with such energy that before night he
had arrested his man Bennett, and had him
safely housed in the county Jail. Bennett
was found at work In field near Mr.. Jas.
Finlayson's, and submitted quietly to the
arrest. He asserts that the other two par
ties engaged in the murder did propose the
murder to him, but he abe tely refused,
and had no hand in the 118Fder. As his
character is not the best in the world, his
mere assertion may not clear him of the
suspicion hanging over him.

SAD AFFA1R.-The Oregoniam of the sth

Myrtle Creek, of which mention is made in
another column, says:
The death of Mr.. Edmund Buick, OF
Myrtle creek, which was announced in the

remarkable and distressing circumstances.
His father and brother in attempting to
quiet party of drunken men who were en-
gagged near their home in general row,
were assaulted and violently beaten, and
the shock to the deceased who was in feeble
health and unable to act in their defense,
produced hemorrhage from which he died.
