Died In Bridport, March 28, Daniel
Howe, aged so years. Mr.. Howe was
born In Shoreham and came to Brid-
port when five years ofage. He remov-
ed from the farm to which he first came,
about forty years ago, and settled on
the place in the same school district
where he afterwards lived and died.
His wife died twelve years since. I'm
til the last ten years Mr.. Howe was an
active and consistent member of the
Baptist church. During this latter per-
iod, as the Baptist church has, on &C.
count of its small number, ceased TO
maintain public worship, he has been
member of the Congregational church.
But wherever he has worshiped and by
whatever name called, he has always
been an earnest and faithful servant of
the Master, always present in the circle
of prayer until the last ten months Of
bis decline. A sense of loss pervades
the community, the feeling that good
man has fallen. Strong and cheerful
up to four score years and more, he
yielded at last to the fatal influence Of
tumor which during the last four
months has confined him to his house,
and brought his life 10 an end. His
firm and cheerful faith was beautiful to
behold. "With long life will / satisfy
him and show him my salvation"

The Oregonian says the crop reports
of the department of agriculture are
discouraging. With the best possible
weather from now till harvest time
the wheat yield will tall considerably
short of that of last year The acreage
OF spring wheat is much smaller, and
the winter wheat yield will be reduced.
This of course does not apply to the
Pacific States and Territories. An in
crease OF one per cent. in the area
cultivated in cotton is reported, but
this is likely to be more than counter
balanced by the poor condition of the
crop. Spectators at the east who are
calculating on prolongaton of the
conditions which made the past wear
one of such great prosperity must re-
wise their estimates in one respect, for
our export trade in grain and cotton
promises to show Il marked decline.

ing: Chas. \. King, just arrived from

THE MCDONALD TRIAL.-The following
dispatch from Boise City, June l4th, gives
the result and other information of the trial
for murder of former resident of Vancou-
yer:
The case of Henry Mcdonald for the MUIR
der of Geo. Myers, has been on trial at Sill
yer City the past week and was given to the
jury yesterday evening and the jury were
out 50 minutes when they returned into
court with verdict of murder in the first
degree. 1t was one of the coolest blooded
most heartless murders committed on this
coast. Myers was freighter on the over
land road for many years, owned team of
ten mules and two horses and three freight
wagons, and had $500 in money on his per.
son when Mcdonald murdered him on the
2Sth day of last september, between Pilgrim
springs and Salmon falls. He packed the
body about half mile and buried it and
took the team and went to freighting with
it, claiming he had bought the team. He
told that Myers had gone to Oregon but be.
fore the trial came off he learned that N.Y.
ers' body had been found and then on the
trial offered his own evidence and stated that
Myers was kicked by one of the mules in
trying to get into the front of the wagon
and the wagon run over him and killed him,
and that two men came up just at that time
and made him leave the body with them and
that he should not say anything about N.Y.
ers' death or they would charge him with
the murder Of Myers. This is the reason
why he kept Myers death a secret.
On the 10Th Mcdonald was sentenced to
be hung August 5th, 1881, receiving his SEN
tence with perfect indifference.
