Two Shots From a Rifle.

Clark Loughrey and c. p. Mofit
we're coming home from a stroll to-
ward the Seaside Packing company's
building last Thursday night, aud
when almost as far as the Washington
Packing company's buildings the sharp
whistle of bullet was heard as it
passed between the two who were on
opposite sides Of the road. Both
turned around and saw a group of FIVE
or six men about 450 or 500 yards in
the rear, one Of whom stood with a
leveled rife, which flashed with a Sec
ond discharge as Loughrey and Moi
fit turned to see where the first bull
let had come from. They flung them
selves aside and fat on the earth,
none too soon, for a second bulle,
whiEzsd by burying itself IN the earth
3 few feet beyond where Motif
stood. If the idea of the man firing
the rife was simply to scare the par.
ties, he certainly showed good judg
ment in his aim. Nothing but th'
sudden dodging of Moffit saved hin
from death.

No Eastern Messages Received.

Parties who handed eastern tele-
grams to Mr.. Hamilton yesterday
were informed that they conld not be
taken. Telegrams for California and
eastern points cannot be sent on ac-
count of a general strike of telegraph
operators throughout the United
States. Mr.. Hamilton says that tele-
grams for all points in Oregon and
Washington Territory, and along the
line of the n. 7. r. K, will be re-
ceived and transmitted with all pos
sible expedition. There was only one
operator at work in the Portland
Office yesterday, and the present
probability is that the company will
have TO come to terms.

State Treasurer.

BY the proceedings of the Republican
County Convention of Monday last it
will be seen that the Hon. William
Irwin, of this county, has been brought
forward for nomination for State
Treasurer, Our delegates elected to
the coming State Ganyeption were in
structed to present his name 10 Sla
Convention and urge his nomination
by all honorable means. This we have
no doubt they will take pleasure in
doing. DR.. Irwin has all the necessary
qualifications to discharge the duties
of that office. He is both honest and
capable We do not believe better
selection could be made from the West
ern part of the State, and the West
sho4ld have one of the two places on
the ticket te ba elected this year. If
neighboring counties join in the moye-
ment it should be successful. In this,
his own county, he would, ifnominated,
receive hearty and full support
the party. AS it believed and hoped
the coming State Convention will make
its own no.nia-tiaps, and, therefore,
cast around for the best candidates pos
sible. DR. Twins chances would seem
to be as good as that of any other name
yet proposed.

ladies and gentlemen present, and
poem read by Newton Black, Esq.
The chief feature Of the occasion was
the address of the Hon. Charles +.
Taylor, of Franklin, now President
Judge of the Courts of Venango county,
Pa. His address was admired and
highly spoken of by all who had the
pleasure of hearing it. 1t was clothed
in beautiful language and full OF fine
and patriotic sentiment connected with
the late war between the north and
the south. He pictured our country
as before and since the war and the
present grandeur and prosperity of our
united nation. He also spoke of some
of the evils existing in our political
methods and warned the people against
them. 1t was regarded as fine effort
and the Judge has left behind him
here a very favorable impression OF his
elouuence and ability as a speaker.
