The Coos Bay Nacs tells Of an en-
ployo ut the North Bend saw mill, who,
while asleep in bed, was bitten on the
wrist BY poisonous insect supposed to
belong to the tArantula species, but,
thinking that the woand was made by
splinter, he paid no attention until
his arm was terribly swollen, when he
called physician, who disclosed the
true state Of affairs. Pieces Of moTti-
fled flesh have dropp'd from the arm,
but the physician thinks the man will
recover.
The Times-NoUntaineer, speaking OF
the Presidents message, says "it IL one
Of unusual clearness and earnest patri-
utism," aud that call will give him, the
Prssiden1,l credit for ability TO cope
with these intricate questions. We
might say here in passing that this
seems to be the opinions Of all Repub-
lican journals, whose opinions are wor-
thy of consideration.
The Ashland TidiRgs says "Ths
Smtinel was in high gles last week over
q string of sausage ten feet, six inches
long" BY the way We did not know

The Oregon Register says "a dead In
dian, with throat cut from ear to ear
and hole in his head, was found few
days ago, about half mile above Rath-
drum, Ilaho Territory. The dead In
dian had no doubt been bad man IN
his day, as in his pouch was found
braid Of hair, evidently made from the
hair taken from the heads Of several
white women, as il was Of different
colors, but braided together. A guns
pair Of shoes aud blanket, all new,
were found beside the body. lie wa'
Spokane Irdian, and had been dead
about two weeks" But the question
arises how could he be Spokan (e) In
dian If he was dead.
The Eugene City Guard says eve
h,ar rumored that Mr.. Hatch,o of trans

tbs o. & G. r. r. on account Of the

The Rosebrrg Revie0 says; "Mis-
sisIippi has $50 saloons; Minnesota,
with about the same population, has oyer
5000 saloons. Old Bourbon Kentucky
has 4, 46l saloons, and Ohio has l5,-
800. Startling as the statement may
Be, in proportion to the population the
North has twice as many saloons a. the
South" Now, friend Bell, you must
net give publicity to such facts, or you
will lead your readers TO believe that
there are Democrats who are not
drunkards and Republicans who are,
and thus knock from under the old Re-
publican ship one of it's Gain props.
The Oregon City EHterpriss says
"If it cost Ira Davenport, as alleged,to
run unsucosssfulIy for Governor Of New
York tbs handsome sum Of So, 900
what was the expense to David B. Hill
Of running successfully That would
be a neat problem for a civil service ex-
animation" Well, sir, it coat David
B. Hill $500 to pay his election sx-
penses, aud this demonstrates the diff
ference in the respective merits of the
two candidates. Humph
The PrinevilIe Neles says, eve smel
another wedding, and judging from the
effect it produces upon our oIfAct0ry
nerves, it is quite near-At least near
enough TO enable us to record the event
10 our nexs issue" Well, we never
heard those nerves called "o.fAc tory"
before.
