We now have a,daily mail from Junction;
Uncle Bob is on time, and those ponies are
as full of life ~ as ever.
Our farmers improved the few days of
good weather, and good deal of plowing,

The wolves are very troublesome in the

ly lambs are dying, this stormy weather.
Valandingham & Nelson have a large flock
of goats near the Alsea mills they have
lost, thus far, over one hundred head.
VIM. Woodcock has also lost large num-
ber.
VIM. Boen has traded his town property,
consisting of dwelling house and drug store,
to Mr.. J. Aiken, for farm. We like this
as Mr. Aiken and family will be quite an
addition to our society, and we won't lose
ssBilly,'' as he will move on the place
bought from DIR. Mahon, near town.
The second quarterly meeting, for Monroe

A CASE OF POISONING.
MoN NMouTH, FEB. s, lS7.

To THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN
A gentlaman here (T. .. Waller) has just
received letter from Eastern Oregon giving
an account of case of poisoning which oc-
Cured there, near Deschutes. 1t seems
that Chinese cook at stock ranch got
mad about something and put strychnine in
the coffee, and when the ''boys" tasted it
they discovered something wrong, and fail
ed to drink enough to do much harm; they,
however, suspecting poison, compelled the
moon-eyed Celestial to drink portion
of the coffee, which was not long in sending
him to g that bourne from which no good
Chinaman returns" The boys, though made
very sick, recovered all right. W. w.

MILD FEBRUARY,

EDITOR GAZETTE 1t is well known to all
the early settlers of Oregon, that. for many
years from 1884, here, the month Of Febru-
airy was mild, dry and open, and grain and
gardens were put into the grounl with hap
Ply results. But, for half a score or more of
years, February has been one of our worst
months for bad weather. Now there is a
first rate prospect here for a good February.
Already the plows are running lively, and
the lands are in first rate condition for
a spring crop. The late freezes have fertil-
lied the plowed lands in early winter, and
no doubt but that we shall have first rate
crop this year in Western Oregon. We
have the best country in North America,
and we nee,t one hunlrel thousand good,
temperate, enterprising people to come to
our highly favored State and help us to build
up mi ightv State. DAVID NEwsoME.

SCAFFoLD SHADOWS - Notwithstanding
the publication of a respite haying been
vouchsafed to johnson and Brown, and a
stay of proceedings granted to the two
Cinnamon condemned to death, quite num-
ber of persons were yesterday gathered in
the neig ghborhood of the court house in con-
temptation that the death sentence was to
be. after ALL carried into effect. During the
day rumor was circulated that johnson
and Brown had been quietly brought out of
their cells and hanged, and the publication
of the news of respite having been granted
was only rstse brought into service to pre-
vent any excitement or the gathering of a
large crowd. 1t is not definitely understood,
as yet, whether the sentence of the murder
ers of young Joseph will be commuted to
imprisonment for life or not, though petit
ton is to be circulated for such purpose.
In the ease Of the two Cinnamon. certifi-
cate of proper cause, and an appeal for
new trial has been filed in the supreme court.
and under rule of that court the case can
not be taken up until the next term, save
by stipulation. Final judgment in the case
is now in allegiance, and should the case go
over until the next term of court, it will be
several months before its final disposition,
whether new trial be granted or not. The
same steps have been taken i'll regard to
the case of jackson Grant, lately convicted
of murder. and with the others further

A RAscALLY CHINAMAN.-''A boss Chi
naman," says the Salem Statesman, ''by
name of &c Hiu, has been working a band
of about thirty Cinnamon in and around
Howell Prairie for nearly two years past.
He professed to have considerable capital,
and to own some fifty Cinnamon. Last fall
he leased $50 acres of brush land of John
Newsome for six years, and built on the land
and drove his men ahead in good earnest.
Being a settled man, he obtained credit for
money. He obtained'of Mr. Newsome Sl54
mostly in cash, $500 of Mr.. John Wolford
in goods and $50 of Mr.. Dickson for plow-
ing and other work Oh the land. Suddenly
this fellow disbanded his grubbers, several
of them unpaid, and leaving all his creditors
minus, except Mr.. Newsome who will be
benefited to the amount of perhaps 81, 600
wo1 tn of grubbing and clearing up and plow-
ing ON the land. This Ge Hiu turns out to
be gambler and a scamp. Some suppose
that lie has gone to China. His Cinnamon
here are full Of wrath, and are left to seek
out some other boss.

Burns and Sca2Gs.-Tbc very
best thing to be done when any one
has received burn or scald, is to
lay on the part that is injured a
thick coating of cotton, wool or
wadding, SO as to completely ex-
clude the air. 1t the above wool
happens not to be at hand, scraped
potato or turnip will ease the pain.
Remedy for Hoarseness.- Horse
radish will afford instantaneous re-
lief in most obstinate cases OF
hoarseness. The root, of course,
possesses the most virtue, though
the leaves are good till they dry,

The root is best when it is green.-
The person who will use it freely

Peroxide of hydrogen is recon-
mended to prevent the spread of

any organic matter with which it
may be brought in contact. 1t
would seern, therefore, to be an
agent especially suited for the de-
