DIED.

We extremely regret to learn of the
death, at Rosedale, in Bolivar county,
on the fSSh inst, of DIR. w. A. Scott.
The deceased was d brother of Messrs.
Charles and George Y. Scott.-Green-
vile Times.
DIR. Scott was well known in this
city, and is brother of our townsman
E. M. Scott. 1t is only short time
since we noticed the demise of the
young wife of DR.. Scott, to whom he
was dovotedIy attached. May the
green sod rest lightly over the grave
of our boyhood's friend.
There died at the convent in this
city, at half-past ten this morning,
after long and painful illness, Sister
Margaret Mary, known to the world
before she entered the Holy Sisterhood
as Miss Clara Julienne, daughter of
the late Capt. Julienne, of Jackson, a
well known citizen of that city, where
Sister Margaret Mary was born, nearly
twenty-nine years ago. The deceased
sister was noted for the gentleness of
her disposition, her exalted piety. and
devotion to all of her religious duties,
and for her rare proficiency in music.
Sister Margaret Mary was greatly be-
loved by her companions in the con-
vent, and many tears will be shed
over her premature death. Her flu
neral will take place tomorrow, after
Il solemn mass for her repose at the
convent, at eight a. M, The sodality
Of the blessed Virgin and the Angels,
and the Infant Sodality are requested
to attend with MISUNDERSTANDING
Commercial Sept. 9th.
The many friends of the family in
ibis city, will join with us in extend
ng sympathy to the bereaved ones.
Her life was an exemplary one and
The has gone to her reward. Her
young life was dedicated to the Lord,
md her crown will be one of exceed
ng brightness.

| MARSHAL NEY'S DEATH SCENE
The vengeance of the allied powers
demanded some victims and the in
trepid Ney, who had well nigh put the
crown again on BOnaparte's head at
Waterloo, was to be one of them.
Condemned to be shot, he was led to
the Garden of LOuXemburg, on the
morning of the 18th of December, and
placed in front of file of soldiers,
drawn up to kill him. One of the
officers stepped up to bandage his eyes,
but he repudiated him, saying, "Are
you ignorant that for twenty-five
years have been accustomed to face
both ball and bulletw He then lifted
his hat above his head, and with the
same calm voice that had steadied his
columns 50 frequently in the roar and
tumult of battle, said, ~ declare, be-
fore God and man, that l never betray-
ed my country; may my death render
her happy. ViUe Ia FrdnceW He
then turned to the soldiers, and strik-
ing his heart, gave the order, "Sol-
diers, firew A simultaneous discharge
followed, and the "bravest of the
brave" sank to rise no more. " He
who had fought five hundred battles,
for France, not one against her, was
shot as a traitor ~ As / looked on
the spot where he fell, L could not
but sigh over his fate. True, he broke
his oath of allegiance-sO did others;
carried away by their attachment to
Napoleon, and the enthusiasm that
hailed his approach to Paris. Still he
was no traitor.

I
Mr.. s. s. Polhemus, tho engineer
sent to make survey of Yaquina
Bay and entrance, and preliminary
soundlngs Of the Coqullle and Slus-
law rivers, under direction Of Col. e..
s. Gillespie, major Of engineers, has
returned to Portland, his work hay
ing been completed. A representa-
tive of the Oregonian received from
him the following Information, which
will be read with interest by all who
had hoped to SEQ Yaqulna Bay a
prominent seaport.
Outside the bar Is a reef running
nearly north and south, but safe ell
trance can be effected either 10 the
north or south of the reef There are
three channels through the bar tho
north shows seven feet at extreme
low water; the south, running close
to the sandy beach, shows seven feet;
and the middle channel, which SEEM
ed to be the safest and easiest, six
feet. The north channel has very
much the same form as that shown
on the Chase survey Of 1868, except
that 1t Is q little farther south, and
shows two feet less depth than twelve
years ago. Just inside the bar, at
the mid-channel buoy, there is a
depth Of fourteen feet, and the body
OF water connecting the bay proper
with the ocean deepens gradually TO
twenty-nine feet. The channel in
bay runs near thesnorth shore, and
as far as Newport Is twenty-four feet
deep and from 800 to COO feet wide.
Farther up the bay the channel
