Death of Mrs. Burnett.

At Auburn. California, on the Goth
of this month, Mary Eliza, wife of A.
J. Burnett and eldest child of DIR. G.
w. Hoover and wife, of this city. De-
ceased was born in Sullivan county,
Missouri, August 5, 1849. She came
with her parents to California in 1854
and thence to Roseburg in 1858, where
she remained until her marriage with
A. J. Burnett in 1871. She has re-
sided since then in this State and Tex.
as and for the last FIVE years In Cali
fornia. She leaves husband and four
children, one boy and three gills, to
miss and mourn her. The eldest child
is eleven and the youngest four years
old. In addition to her immediate rel
atiyes here there are many old acquain-
tances, old friends, who join in sincere
grief at her going hence, at the full de-
velopment of womanhood. As a child
she was gentle, kind and artless and SC
continued through life. An obedient,
affectionate child, a devoted wife, a
tender and watchful mother has passed
over the stream of life and solved the
mysterious beyond. God rest her in
peace.

Another Runaway.

About ten o'clock Monday morning
Albert Cole was unhitching Mr.. A. E.
Champagne's team from the wood wagon
at the hotel, when the horses became
frightened and started to run, with the
tug of nigh horse still hitched to the
wsgon. Young Cole fell down and the
wagon passed over Kim without iniuring
him. The horses turned to run up
Main street, when Mr.. Crump, who
was at work in front of the new addi-
ton to the hotel caught the nigh horse,
which tramped upon him and dragged
him doEgn. Mr. Champagne caught the
horse BY this time and held on some
time. He was thrown in between the
horses and knocked down and pretty
badly hurt, receiving severe hurt on
the hand and an ugly cut on the back
of the head. He remained unconscious
for some ime, but is able to be about
again, and it is to be hoped that his in
juries may not prove serious.
Mr.. Crump received an injury in his
right foot, which will in all probability
get we'll sooner than his boot, which
was badly torn by the horses shoe.
Mr.. Champagne succeeded in stop
ping the horses. No damage was done
to them or the wagon.

shade trees were blown down, shingles
Cured. The rain was very heavy in the Vi

In this section of the country real es-

grafton that is setting to our western

There is yet much public land that

many Of our yeung men who worse than
waste their time, would pick out suita-
ble homesteads and spend one half the
time they waste each year, in clearing
and improving their lands, they would
in the next five years find themselves

There are in Shakespearc's plays
about ninety deaths taking place either
on the stage or Immediately behind.
The modes of death are various. Cold

counts for about two-thirds of the
whole. Twelve persons die from old
age or decay; seven are beheaded; five
die of poison, including the elder Ham
let, whose symptoms are SO minutely

ling; ole from fall; one is drowned;
three die by snake bite; and one, Her-

SALT IN FooD-Experiments for the
purpose of discovering the effects of
salt and other condiments when used in
cooking have been made by DR.. Hussen.
1t is shown, among other things, that
in cooking butchers meat only an
ounce of salt should be used with from
six to twelve ounces of meat; if more
is employed, it will either modify the
structure of portion of the muscular
fibre, so as to render it more resistant
to The action of the gastric juice, or it
will itself check and retard the peptic
fermentation, the very groundwork of
digestion. 1t follows that salted and
smoked meats are more indigestible
than fresh. Vinegar, it appears, may
be used with good effect, provided it is
not in q quantity to irritate the stom-
ach, and 1t is a pure dilution of acetic
acid. freed from sulphuric or hydro
chloric acid

A Scottish newspaper says: Several
articles of public utility are now being
Systematically aad proftably manufac-
tured In London out Of the human
skin. An exhibition has just taken
place, in which twenty four exhibits
appeared, all of this costly leather. The
exhibitor was not Yankee, but an en-
terprising Scotchman. He gave lee
ture on this exhibit, in which he claimed
that our hides made the very best of
leather for general use. The purses
exhibited were especially elegant, and
not only ornamental but serviceable
enough for the most utilitalian. They
were subjected to the toughest usages
and bore the handling well. He also
showed gloves tough enough for the
most thoroughbred prize fighter. The
exhibitor said The skins of ley and
aristocratic people were inferior to
those of the poorer classes for tanners
use.

We really do not know what ails the
Standard. We cannot, able though we
be, make diagnosis of its disease. Is
it the Field fever? But its editors are
too lazy even to tackle acorn field.
The harvest is great but the laborers
are few. The Democratic laborers of
Oregon will encourage all kinds of
fields except Stephen ]. Still the
Standard persists in sickening degree
to puff, puff, puff that man. We hear
many Democrats say they would like
to support our only daily paper, but
cannot SO long as it is the pelsonal apel-
egetic organ of any one man. Now
then stop, try to help The party, write
about something else and rise above
personal idolatry.
