they placed the body therein and it was

On Wednesday night Judge Hanna's res
idence escaped quite peril. Says the sen.
tinell. At about midnight little Hattie was
waksned from her slumbers by her night
habliments being ON fire, filling the room
with smoke nd threatening to envelope the
dwelling in ruin. Hatties cries soon arous-
| ed the other members of the family, and
the flames were smothered before they
could make much headway. Hattie's side
and hip were severely though not dangerous
ly burned. Upon examination. ahele was
fond burned through mattress, straw tick,
and bed clothes. There is no theory correct
as to the origin Of the fire, although soms
seem to think that some matches must have
got into the bed clothes, igniting with the
result stated.

THE YAQUINA RAILROAD,

The one public enterprise in which
Benton County is more deeply inter
ested than any other is the construc.
tion of railroad from the Yaquina
Bay to the Eastern part of Oregon,
and Benton county is not alone in
this, but the whole Willamette Val.
ley, for it will shorten the route to
the sea, cheaper freight and transpor-
tation, and add greatly increased
value to every species OF produce
raised in the State. But all these ar.
guments have been put before the
public from time to time in the m ,st
forcible terms possible, and all are
convinced of the fact and only ask
can and will this object be accom-.
plished, and if SO when ? For years
past the citizens of Benton county
have looked forward hapefully to the
construction of this road, and the
GAZETTE has never passed silently
by an opportunity OF expsessing a
conviction that we would soon sec
this much needed Rad in successful
operation. But railroads are not
built in single day, and the one in
question was no exception to the
general rule. The public spirited
portion OF our people have done all
in their power, including the liberal
use of money to accomplish this end,
ever hopeful and confident OF ulti.
mate success. Early last fall the
Oregon Pacific Railroad CompaE y
was organized in this city, and short
ly afterwards Col. Hogg, its Presi-
dent, went to New York, ana the
general impression obtained belief
that this company would construct
its road in time to carry away the
crop of 1881, but obsticle after OBJ
sticle was imposed in the way by the
enemies ofthe road until hope almost
failed in minds of many friends of the
enterprise, but these difficulties have
at last been overcome and the early
completion of the road is now fixed
fact. On next Monday two corps OF
Engineers will commence the perma-
nent location of the road and as soon
as the location is completed the grad
ing will commence, and we are con-
fidently assured that the road will be
completed to this place by January
lst, 1882, The road will be a stand
ard grade and the track laid with SO
Id. steel rails.

Reports come from Nelson
vile, Austin county, to effect
that a sewing machine agent,
said to be from Brennan, had a
very unpleasant experience a
few nights ago. 1t seems that
being overtaken by night he put
up at the house of a negro liv-
ing some two miles from the
city of Jacksonville. Putting up
with the colored man was bad
enough in all conscience, but a
worse fate was in store for him.
During the dead hours of the
night when grave yards yawn
and ghosts stalk abroad to air
themselves and while the sewing
machine man was serenely
dreaming the hours away, mis-
chievous men, not ghosts, were
busily at work making visibly
manifest their disapprobation of
his staying at the house of the
colored man. When the sew
ing machinist arose in the
morning he found that his hors-
es had turned to opossums,
their tails being completely de-
nuded of hair and their names
shaved /, in addition to this one
of the horses was badly cut and
wounded, to such an extent as
to reduce its value at least one
half. The harness was also cut
and the wheels of his buggy
were taken off and scattered to
the four cardinal points of the
compass. Wounding the horse
is inexcusable, as it was not to
blame for the company its mas
ter was keeping. The perpe-
traitors OF the prank are I'M
known.
