Dewitt, Oakland, Oregon, on subscrip-
tion to the GAZETTE. From the facts
in the case, il appears that Mrs. Dewitt
was perusing the GAzETTE-as ali good
women love to do--and her eye casual
ly falling on the paragraph Inwhich we
made an earnest appeal to our delin-
quent subscribers few issues back,
caused her to jump up and run TO her
husband and exclaim, while pointing
with her finger to the item. "See here,
Richard, I've found something. Its a

fears for Richard, as he is one Of the

The last Whitesburg Times contains
lengthy article from Capt. A. NJ. Troll
niger charging DR.. r. r. Murphy, Of
that place, with having addressed an
improper letter to his daughter for the
purpose of seducing her. The Doctor
fairly acknowledges the corn, in q few
lines below the Captains card, but pri-
vately told him on the streets Of Whites
burg that he was drunk when he sent
the letter to his daughter and was sorry
that he did so. The Doctor Is said to
be member of one Of the religs
ious denominations and to have preach
ed often in public from the pulpit.
There is considerable excitement in
Whitesburg over the matter, and we
await further developments without any
comment at the present, as words choke
in our throat.
