LOSS OF A VALUABLE HORSE.

Mr.. w. G. Myer met with heavy loss
last Monday morning in the death of his
fine Percheon horse s.Pride of Perche y
This was one of the finest Pereheon horses
In the country, and sold at public auction
Just after landing from the ocean voyage for
So, ,070. He was then untried, and the pur-
chaser would, of course, run some risk in in
vesting the money. Consequently, after
proving his worth, his value must have been
greatly increased, and he was probably
worth to Mr.. Myer nearly twice the price
mentioned above. Mr.. Myer has expended
large amount of money in his endeavors
to introduce improved stock in Oregon, and
has met with serious losses, which were
enough to dishearten any man of ordinary
persistence and hope; but the most discour-
aging feature of the mstter is the evidence
that there is a PERSISTENT effort to injure Mr.
Myer and his stock, which does not stop
short of the bastardly crime of killing the
horses. Doctors Chitwood aud Royal were
called and made an examination of the body
of the horse Immediately after death, and
both agree in the conclusion that his death
was caused from the effects of poison which
was administered some time previously in a
dose sufficient to cause sure, but not imme-
diate death.
We have before alluded to this continued
determination to disparage this stock in Ore
gon, and the evidence we have heard proves
beyond reasonable doubt that lumber of
colts from Myers horses, owned by himself
and others, have been stealthily killed for
the purpose of creating the impression that
the stock is not hardy. Anyone who will
take the trouble to look beyond the limits
of Oregon in investigating the matter, to
where the stock has been long years of trial,
will be convinced that any efforts to dis
credit the stock in this particular can meet
with but temporary success, as the testimo-
ny upon the matter which we published
from the Live Stock Journal, short time
since, abundadtly proves.-Ashland Tidings

Paying for Praying.

In another column we publish a reply by
Father Burtsell, pastor of the Church of
the Epiphany, to a communication pub
lished over the signature of "Truth" in
Thursdays HERALD, in which it was stated
that an usher of that church rudely and
violently elected young lady because she
refused to pay fifteen cents for seat. We
have no desire to be drawn into discus
sion of the general management of churches,
nor even to dispute the propriety of pas
tors requiring payment for seats; but when
Father Burtsell questions the "justice" and
christian charity" of publishing such a
letter as Truths" without first consulting
the pastor of the church in which
the alleged offence was given, we feel at lib
erty to say to him-well, that he makes
a very great mistake. The Complaint
Book" Of the HERALD is open to all who
think they have cause to complain, and who
are not actuated by personal malice. In the
complaint alluded to there was no Injustice
charged upon any particular usher, for no
names were mentioned. Regarding the
custom of exacting payment for seats in
churches, Protestant as we'll as Catholic,
we beg to remind Father Burtsell that it
has heretofore been the subject of COM
plants almost innumerable, on account of
the rudeness and vulgarity with which the
rule has often been enforced by ushers.

uncovering hydrants of snow before water

Mr. Jacobs has introduced resolution in
the State Senate calling for a report from
the bank and insurance superintendent Of
the number of banks and insurance compa-
MES that have failed in the past ten years,
with the names of the receivers, the dates
of their appointments and the number of
receiverships still unsettled. This is desir-
able information to secure. The victims of
some Of these bankrupt institutions
have found themselves as badly of
in the receivers hands as in the
hands of dishonest or incapable trus-
tees and managers. 1t is by no means
uncommon to find the little assets left by a
bank or insurance company swallowed by
the receiver, and in many cases the winding
up is protracted until the funds have all
melted away in expenses with the exception
of some beggarly dividend declared early
in the bankruptcy for the sake of keep
ing the sufferers quiet. The receiver too
often plays the part of the man who, being
appealed to for aid by traveller who had
been robbed and bound to O tree, responded
by taking possession Of purse which the
first thieves had overlooked. It is we'll to
ascertain what bankrupt institutions have
been languishing for years in receivers
hands, and to call such dilatory officers to
an accounting.

Once more the republican majority in

surveyed in the light of the ample
dispatches, is seen to be tangible enough to

payable to bearer, and wants the money if
the bank has not got it, but does not want
it if the bank has got it. If the bank is
sound and has plenty of money he would
as lief have the check as the money; but
any hesitancy must naturally add energy
to his demand. 1t ought not to be Of any con-
sequence what are the politics of the COM
manders of the grand divisions OF the French
army, nor should it be o point OF great
moment what parry the Minister of War
synpathizes with. But this point has been
forced upon the attention of republicans
by the Marshal's tactics. General Borel
was made Minister of War; He was
formerly chle1 OF stan TO MARSHAL Mac
Mnhon--a fact that sufficiently evidences
his mediocre talents as soldier and the
small range of his faculties. No man Of
great talent was ever endured in that COM
monplace atmosphere. Borel was only
distinguished for his readiness to lend
himself in every way to any administra-
ton Of his department that might give
effect to his chiefs i'll will toward
the Republic and the republicans. Pushed
by the facts of such an administration Of
the army the republicans made some de-
mands Had these been conceded it could
easily have been made Indifferent to them
what was done further. Their uneasiness
with regard to the army might have been
readily soothed. But the very denial of
their demand and the persistence in this
denial assures them that the facts in the
army to which they object are not acct
dental, but constitute policy, and against
that policy they must strive with all their
might. If Marshal MacMahon has declared
that he will resign rather than put an ener-
getic republican in the Ministry of War
that declaration must necessarily lead to q

And America-what is her outlook? We
need wisdom as much as France, and then
our influence will be as great as that OF
France. We have gained many victories
in the past few years, precious victories
over demagogism, and communism, and
infationism, and other forms of villany
which sought to degrade our country and
make it a warning and not an example to
mankind. Shall we throw away these
achievements and run into another mid
summer madness like imitation, or worse
than all, shall we destroy all the fruits of
peace and commercial enterprise by reviv-
ing the hideous demon of sectionalism,
whose reign was only suppressed with tears
and war and blood Europe is in gloom.
England is on the verge of crisis which
may compel an audacious and brilliant
Minister like Beaconsfeld to plunge her
into war at any moment, war waged
to give bread to hungry multitude. AS
for Germany, Austria and Spain, all we can
hear is the volcanic rumbling, not knowing
at what hour or in what spot the flames may
break forth. Let us hope that wisdom will
strengthen Europe to overcome her dan
gers. In the meantime let us be wise and

The WEArHER.-The storm centre which
passed over our district on Wednesday is now
moving toward Europe, and the pressure
throughout the Middle Atlantic and New Eng
land States has risen considerably The de-
preston that was noticed in the West and
Northwest OH Thursday advanced during yes
terday to the lower lake regions, and has or
ganized a centre of disturbance which may
prove very severe our northern coasts. Light
snow has fallen in the lake regions and heavy
rains are reported in the central valley and
Gulf districts. Tho winds have been gen.
orally fresh throughout all the territory
east of the Rocky Mountains. With tho ex-
ception Of the South Atlantic coast dis
tricts where it has fallen tho temperature has
been variable, with slight tendency to rise.
The heavy snow that attended the late storm
continues to obstruct the railroads, particularly
in New England, causing numerous delays to
the running of trains, and in some places total
suspension of traffic. Although snow accom-
panics the approaching storm the gradually
rising temperature will very probably change it
to rain or sleet. Rain will fall on the coast dis
tricts north of Cape Hattcras during to-day. A
very rapid rise will take place in tho ice gorged
Southern rivers during to-day and Sunday. 1t
is to be hoped that the people living in the vi
cinity OF the rivers have taken every precaution,
as 1t is probable that tho coming floods will be
very destructive. The heavy rain storms that
continue in the mountain regions will cause such
asudden increase in the volume of water now in
the rivers that everything within reach is likely
to be swept away. The weather continues
stormy over the British Islands, but the pres
sure lie above tho mean the storm centre having
passed over the central and southern coasts OF
Europe, as predicted by the HERALD Weather
Bureau. The weather in New York and It's
vicinity to-day will be warmer and cloudy, with
rain or snow. Tomorrow it will be cooler and
partly cloudy.

Mrs. Cobb protests most solemnly" her
innocence of the crime of murder, of which
she has been convicted, as she declares,
son the testimony of a perjurer." This is
the substance of card to the public, by
which she may be said to close the case and
have the last word with justice before her
final retirement to the seclusion of a pro-
tracted residence in prison. 1t is difficult
to believe that Mrs. Cobb is innocent, and
some good reasons have been presented on
the trial for the opinion that she is guilty.
Yet the truth may possibly be as she states
it in her card. In that case it may some
day appear, and as she is not to be hanged
she will have all the advantage of any reve-
latioa that may be made in her favor. I'm
