Drowned while In na,hIng.

Last Sunday several boys were in swim
ming In the SAntiam, between Lebanon
and Sweet Home, when disaster happen
ed not looked for, though liable to occur
at any time. Luellan Williams, boy Of
fourteen, and a son OF Mr. Dave Williams,
highly respected farmer, had swan
across the river, and had gotten nearly TO
Q ledge In the middle on his way back,
when hewas taken with cramp. He cried
to tho other boys but they were on the op-
posite bank, and could not reach him be-
fore he had sunk to the bottom. The wa.
ter was twenty feet deep, but so clear that
his body could bo distinctly seen. As II
was too far to dive he had to be hooked to
the surface The verdict Of the Coroner's
jury was that he came to his death by &C.
cidental drowning. The affair was uni
versalIy regretted by all, and caused con.
siderable sorrow among the poor boys
companions, as well as by his parents.

The cspaared convIeta

Last week wo mentioned the capture Of
three Of the escaped convicts, one being
killed and the others wounded. Follow
ing II an account OF the manner in which
they were caught:
''It appears that the capturing party
were wading for the prisoners, whose
trail they had been following for some
days. They had concealed themselves ON
the sides ofa rayine through which the
narrow gauge track and the prisoners
passed at about 0 o'clock. They were
called upon to halt and throw up their
hands. Bot instead Of doing this they
started to run. After calling three times
the party fired. Beaehamp dropped and
the other two made for the brush and dis
appeared In the darkness. Fearing that
the others might be near and armed, the
pursuing party returned TO Woodburn
and went out at daylight The next morn
Ing In tram ca. Here they found Beach
amp dead and took his body in charge and
conveyed IL to Salem by q private team.
Soon Watt Townsend aud y ) TODD, who
live near Townsend station, arrived with
the other two prisoners. They had made
their way mp to that station, about mile
distant, and gave themselves up to Town
send and Todd. Mansfield could nave
escaped, but Reinhart needed medical aid.
As he was suffering intensely"

During the year ending July !, 1859,
according 10 the report Of Assistant
Chief Engineer wR Blalu. th@e were
eleven fires In Albany, seven Of which
started In unoccupIed buildings This
statement contains It's own moral.
Owners Of such buildings should see
that they Lre completely locked mp, and
the windows nailed down. Instead OF
that most Of the vacant Louses In the
city can be entered by anyone. As such
buildings eBdanIer other property,
would 1t not be proper for the Marshal
to be authorized 10 sec that they are
thoroughly barricaded, at the expense
ofthe owner, or even the city. II this
had been done seven OF these fires would
not have occurred.
The total value OF the property burn
ed during the period mentioned was
sl4,877, while the insurance on the
same was only about $3.50. There
were fourteen buildings injured by fire,
Of that number only six were insured
Or the six insured four were unoccupIed,
although most agents are particularly
forbidden taking policies on unoecupi-
ed buildings, and II Is their duty II n
building becomes vacant 10 cancel the
policy. Ifthls were done greater care
would be taken Of property.
Eleven fires ls too much in a place
Ike Albany for one year. although Il
eau be noticed that all put together
during the last year caused lees damage
than single fire In many Of our neigh.
boring cities. To our efficient fire de-
partment much credit IL due for this.
