"A HAsTY SHOT AND NARROW ESCAPE
On Monday morning, about l O'Clock, the
watchman, Davis, and VIM. Igo, formerly
the jailor, who had been watching certain
parties suspected of mischief, and fully be-
lieving that they contemplated burglary, left
the Palace saloon and crossed over between
Abegg's and Monkeys and Davis then left
to go and get some coffee. telling Igo to keep
a sharp watch. Soon after Davis left, Igo
observed flicker of light reflected upon the
window of the saloon of Bunker and Squier,
which soon was extinguished. He cautiously
approached, and looking through the win
dow he observed a man by the light of the
window upon the opposite side behind the
safe. and stopping down as if attempting to
open the safe Igo says he hailed him, and
receiving no answer he aimed his revolver at
him and fred, and soon discovered that he
had shot at Charley Allen, the bar-keeper,
and hit him in the shoulder, inficting a very
severe wound. Igo Immediately went for DIR.
Kelly and rendered all the aid and assistance
he could for the wounded man. Allen was
taken to his room and the wound examined,
but it was impossible then to tell where the
ball had lodged. On Monday DIR. Kelly
succeeded in finding and extracting the ball.
The bone is somewhat shattered, but though
it may require some time to heal, and possi-
bly, may stiffen the shoulder at the joint, yet
it is hoped that no further injury will result.
Allen is little deaf. and says he saw Igo
and spoke to him before he shot, and that
Igo did not speak before he fred, or if he
did SO, Allen did not hear him. Allen had
got up from his bed and gone TO the saloon
on some errand, and used no other light then

direction he wished to 60. which soon burned

THE TENTH CENSUS.

| bu6 bESsu obsuO0Os
| Regularly appointed officers OF
the United States are now engaged
in taking the tenth census of Oregon,
and every State and Territory in the
United States.
The first Federal census was taken
very loosely-in the year 1890. II
was little more than an approxima-
tion of the number of Inhabitants
then in the United States. From
that time to 1850 similar enumera-
tion was taken every ten years. In
| 1850 an attempt was made for the
first time, with tolerable success, to
collect statistics of manufactures,
immigration, migration, agriculture,
births, deaths, occupations, and clas
slfication of age, sex, condition, edn-
cation, etc, as well as general popula-
ton. In 1860 and 1870 still further

cal methods: and this year Iss0| it
has been the intent of the Act an
thorizing the census and making adj
cquate appropriation of money there
for, to very considerably improve on
the accuracy and amplitude of all
former .enumerations. But there can
be no accuracy unless the heads of
families and households cordially aid
the census officers by giving prompt
and truthful replies to all the ques-
tions that will be propoundcd. There
is no good reason why they should
not do SO. The object of these ques-
tious is to secure the greatest possi-
BILE amount of statistical information
touching the population, material
condition, educational, moral and
mental status of the people, their in
dustries, trades, empioyments. and
whatever else will be of use to them
all and to the enlightenment of Con-
gress, the Government, State, muni-
cipal and national, to know. Taxa
ton has nothing to do with it. No
persons taxes can be to the extent
of one cent increased or diminished
by the answers to be given to the
questions the census officers will ask.
Every question is ordered and direct
ed by law, and nothing is left at the
discretion OF the officer.
The GAZETTE, for the foregoing
reasons, earnestly entreats household
ers, hotel keepers, directors of man.
establishments, superil-
tendcnts Of public institutions, and
all heads of families, male or female,
to make prompt and truthful answers
to every question that may be pro-
pounded. and in all reasonable WAYS
to aid the officers who may call on
them IN the dispatch OF the business
in hand. If there is an idiot or an
insane person in any family or house
hold, or one whose blood is tainted
with an incurable malady, whether
mental or physical. the fact should
be stated in reply to the question
bnt in no case is it required that the
name of any such unfortunate shall
be given. The purpose of the census
is not to disturb the tranquility of
families or expose the crimes and |
of individuals, but TO col

photograph of the country as possi-
population first, by age, sex,
religious, mental, moral
and physical it's wealth and indus
tries, and how they are represented
and distributed among the various

EiGuid Manure.

One of the most successful gard
eners we know of uses liquid ma
nure largely. He has a large tub,
a discarded whale-oil cask or sugar
hogshead will do, holding several
barrels, sunk partly in the earth,
near the middle Of his vegetable
garden. lie has cheap trough,
made by mailing two four inch strips
together in the shape of a V, to
conduct the water from his sink
spout into the tub, whenever it is
needed. 1t is not far from the well,
and extra water is run from the
pump into the tub, whenever it is
needed. Into this tub all the Stops
from the chambers are emptied dur
ing the summer. Another line of
cheap troughs conducts the liquid
manure from the tub to any desired
part of the garden. With a long
handled dipper he stands at the tub
and waters the growing vegetables
and fruit trees as their wants de-
mand. He always has fine fruits
and vegetables. When a house
stands several feet higher than the
garden, the tub or vat for holding
the liquid manure can be kept
wholly above ground, and the water
be drawn off by plug at the bot
tom of the vat. This will save the
labor of dipping. The results of
using liquid manure upon growing
-. IL I
If the garden is large. and the wastes
of the house are not sufficient, it is
easy to increase its quantity by
placing few pounds of guano in
the vat, and adding water from the
well or cistern. The water should
have the benefit of one days sun;
and be applied just at evening or
very early in the morning.-Ame,i-

How shall we make our Grange
meetings more interesting?
1. BY prompt attendance of off.
GERS at all meetings.
2. BY singing more, and cultiva-
ting song.
3: BY comforting one degree at
each meeting.
4. BY exactness in all our work.
5. BY discussing one subject at
each meeting.
g. Reading an essay on some par
ticular subject at each meeting by a
brother or sister appointed by the
Master.
7. BY taking at least three Grange
papers in each Grange, one for Mas.
ter, one for Secretary, one for Lee
turer, though every family should
read regularly Grange paper.
8. BY writing short cornmunica-
tons monthly for THE PATRON by
a correspondent appointed in each

9. BY strict order during transac

The suns last glintings from the West
Cease with the evenings fall;
Thus brightly beams the cheerful rays
From out the old Grange hall.
Thus gathering in from near and far
Come thronging to the door
The Patron band from distant farms
The hillside and the moef>
Light hearts beat happily tonight,
And hopes are bouyant high;
For here a band of brethren bright
Meet with fraternal tie.
Let nothing enter in our walls,
Or pass the guarded gate,
That e'er shall mar our dearest joys.
Or foster strife and hate.
Drive far away each numbering care,
Accept the Patrons need,
And work for noblest purpose true,
The front of progress lead.
