the leg was amputated; but he never re-
covered from the shock, dying there on the

THERE was rumor on the street yester.
day that Prof. Robb had done too much

to be originated in malice toward Mr.. Robt
by persons not much better disposed than
the worthless hoodlum who received a good
whipping for repeatedly inducing boys
younger than himself to run away from
school. He did not receive more than he
deserved on general principles, saying moth
ing of what punishment he should have fol-
the offense indicated.

some CORN.--We have before mentioned
that G. W. Jones of Mill Phin. raised some
pretty good corn this year. This week he
brought to this office q stalk twelve feet
high, and one of the ears from it, foot in
length, nearly three inches in diameter, good
sound corn. Of course this would be moth
ing for corn growing country to show, but
it proves that a man who takes the trouble
can grow corn in Washington Territory, and
make it profitable

BOUNCE HIM.-Whcn some fellow takes
upa large amount Of newspaper space in
telling you what skillful doctor he is, that
he can tell all about the patients disease by
simply looking at him, and that he is just
from Berlin, Paris or Dublin, and comes
here to Oregon or Washington out of pure
love for mankind and to alleviate human
suffering, give him 'the grand bounce" he
is quack, and when you are sick consult
the regular resident physician of known
standing and responsibility; his card in the
newspaper is modest and simply announces
his name, profession and office hour
Mrs. DuNIwAY AND LIBERTY. Mrs Alb
igail Scott Dunway held forth in Brant's
hall last Friday night to large and atten-
tive audience. on the subject Of elderly"
She presented many good and forcible points
in the course of her remarks, and though
she might not have convinced the matured
male portion of her hearers to full belief in
her ideas, she did convince = lot of boys
that they should behave themselves in a
gentlemanly manner in that hall. which
they did for the first time in their lives.
Such victory is the starting point for their
becoming good men in the future, and she
can take credit for having done some good.

Weeks FLORAL GUIDE.-Of the many
guides and seed and plant catalogues sent
out by our seedmcn and nurserymen, and
that are doing so much to inform the people
and beautify and enrich our country, none
are so beautiful. none SO instructive as Vick's
Floral Guide. Its paper is the choicest, its
illustrations handsome, and given by the
hundred, while its colored plate is gem.
This work, although costing but five cents,
is handsome enough for gift book. or
place on the parlor table. Published by
James Wick, Rochester, N. Y.
CONSISTENCY is jewel, but sometimes
when you put your finger on it, like the
Irishman's flea, it is not there--which ap-
plies now to the Methodist Church manage
ment in Vancouver. On the oath day of
May. 1878, Mrs. Cochran was permitted to
deliver lecture therein on the subject of
Freedom" Last Friday the management
refused to let Mrs Duniway have the use of
the church to deliver lecAure on the sub
ject of Liberty" OF course, the managers
have perfect right to do as they please, but
their action looks little odd under the cir
cumstances.
