a REPLY.

EDITOR REVIEW: VIII you please say to
the author Of an article in your last issue, en-
titled Umpqua Academy, that Oregon Nor
NAL schools do not ''give professional course
i'll one years time. The course Of study at
Drain Normal school (and think it is about
the same at the state schools) is prescribed by
the State Board of Education and il requires
three years to complete it after having gradu-
ated from the grammar school department.
The examination papers of applicants for grad
uation are passed upon by the State Board,
and as they issue certificate good for six
wears to graduates of this school. il is not
likely they would allow an incompetent can
didate TO pass.
| write this simply 10 correct a misunder-
standing which the author of the above men
toned article seems to be laboring under.
Although not member Of the faculty OF til
Normal school, will venture to invite SAID
author, or any one else laboring under like
delusion, TO visit our school and see that we
have thoroughly competent faculty, and
the facilities for giving as Thorough and
practical" an education as can be procured
at any school in the state.

4 Great Battle Fought, in srhtch the Port,t-
0ese are Defeated aud 1000 Men Killed.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-Advices from Dunbar
of November 3, state that general and appar-
emily successful revolt is in progress among
the natives against the Portuguese authorities
in Southeast Africa. An American mission
airy, Rev. Mr.. Wilcox, has arrived in Dunbar
from the Portugal settlement on the east coast
above the Transvaal. He reports as follows:
The natives at Inhambanc, Portuguese port
town, 200 miles above Delagoa bay, rose up
against Portuguese taxation and murdered the
collector. On October % battle was fought
between 5000 Portuguese and friendly natives
on one side, and $4,000 hostile natives on the
other. The Portuguese were defeated and,
routed, and the loss in killed ON both sides is
estimated at 1000 men. Mr.. Wilcox, says
the governor OF Mozambique, has gone into
the country to endeaver to suppress the revolt
and save part Of lnhambane from falling into
the hands Of the insurgents. The town was
barricaded when the missionary last heard
from it, and the women and children had
been removed 10 ships lying IN the roadstead.
The entire country round about the town
had already been abandoned by Portuguese.
and arrangements been made to remove the
population of Inhambane out to sea If hostile
natives attacked the town in force.

From iScoftsbura.

The first term OF the Scottsburg school
closed on Friday last with an exhibition, in
the evening. The programme was quite
lengthy and interesting throughout. So well
acted were all the parts that we are 10th 10
decide which were most creditable. The
school paper, the "IIerald," edited by Ida
McRoberts was very interesting. 1t was well
read and contained some excellent essays.
Other prominent features of the entertainment
were; the lecture by "IIenry Ward Beccher;'
the speaking of the boys in their Debate, and
the fine performance OF the small students in
Recess Speeches. Annie Palmer's opening
recitation was good, as was, also, the one
spoken by Carrie Wade. May Andrews
personation OF the ''Maniac" was very touch
ing, while the play 'Visit to the Oil Regions
fairly convulsed the audience in laughter
Many other interesting features must be
crowded out of this short article In the last
recitation. of the evening, "Mona's Waters" !"
Mamie Palmer showed rare elocutionary abil
lty. Excellent music was furnished by the
Misses Palmer and Lilly Patterson. On the
whole the exhibition was a decided success
and greatly delighted the audience, who, in
spite of the stormy weather, had packed the
house. The term just closed has been very
successful, and, after weeks vacation, Mr.
Fisher will again resume his school room

PULLING TEETH FOR Fun.

A French woman and man have been ere
ating sensation recently in Portland, by nd
ing through the streets in gilded chariot and
attracting crowds. When they get large
crowd the woman pulls teeth ior everybody
who wants TO get rid OF teeth. She pulls
them for nothing, and promises that the oper.
alton shall be painless. To CRAFTY curiosity
and TO get something for nothing-two Of the
strongest impulses in human nature, people
rush up in squads TO have teeth pulled. She
pulls about hatfull OF teeth each day, and
then reaps golden harvest by selling medi-
cine which people buy freely without knowing
what they want il for, or what it is good for.
This thing has been going on for several
weeks and if it continues little longer large
portion of the people of Portland will be tooth
less. They can't resist the temptation TO
have the facinating French woman in a
golden chariot pull their teeth out. Pulling
teeth is no longer an ordeal TO be dreaded but
is pleasant passtime, an amusement, enjoyed
by those who submit to the operation as well
as by the crowds who go to see the fun.

DECISION OF u. s, COURT.

w. S. Ladd awarded $500 for COW killed
by the 0. & c. X. K. train: The following
decision Of Hon. Judge Deadly of the U. S.
Court for the district of Oregon will be of
much interest to persons whose stock has been
killed by the railroad trains as furnishing the
true rule Of damages in such cases.
''In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day says the Orcgonian Of November the 10th
1886.
Judge Deadly rendered a decision in the
case Of w, S. Ladd against r. Koehler,
receiver of the o. & c. railroad, to recover
damage for COW killed by a train on said
road September IL, 1855. Plaintiff claimed
that the COW was killed by negligence of rail-
way operatives, and claimed damages in the
sum of $1,000. Defendent admitted killing
of COW, but denied that she was worth more
than $500. Ii was also alleged that plaintiff
carelessly allowed the COW 10 run at large and
stray upon the track, where she was accident
ally killed without fault on the part of the
train operatives. Plaintiff denied these ale
cations and averred that the COW was killed
on his own land, where she had a right to be,
and allow the COW to run in petitioner
field, through which the railroad passed, was
no negligence.
The plaintiff was under no obligation to
fence the railroad, and although the railroad
company is not compelled by law to fence it,
it takes its choice TO do so or pay for stock
killed. Proof was wanting to satisfactorily
establish the fact that there was any obstruc
ton on or near the line of the road where thi.
casualty occurred which would prevent person:
in charge OF the train from seeing the COW or
the track, or on either side OF it.
The court held that the plaintiff was en-
titled to compensation for the loss of his COW.
| A railway company is not required to pay
fancy or effection prices for stock killed
| The common market value ought to be th'
amount of that liability. The price paid TO
| the COW in 1853 is the best evidence of he
market value, and although two years Of heI
productive life, from three to ten, had passed
yet she was probaly in her best form, and th'
| fact that she was in the habit Of droppin:
heifcr calves added TO her value.
| The calf she was carrying, when calved
would have been worth $500, and was wortl
| SIoo when the mother was killed. Add thi
sum TO the cost Of the cow, S5Io, equals Solo
To this add interest for fourteen months
$56.o3, and the amount is So66.93, TO which
| added OF. general principles, for delay an
costs and trouble in seeking redress, e1oug
10 make the damages $500, for which sum
and the costs of these proceedings, there mu:
be decree against the road and a direction I
the receiver to pay the same.

TIE P0srAL TELEGRlpH
The N. =. r.. II. Compelled to 1llOtc the Nci
Company to Build.

The contest between the Postal Telegraph
company and the Northern Pacific Railroad
company was decided at Olympia in favor Of
the Telegraph company. Judge Hoyt deliver
ed an exhaustive and able opinion, in which he
sustained the position of the telegraph com
pany. He held in substance, that the railroad
company had not such an interest in its right
of way as would preclude congress from grant
ing the use OF the same for teIegraphic or
other public purposes. He held that congress
granted the Northern Pacific charter, not
| for the benefit Of its stockholders, but to pro-
mote the interest and welfare of the people of
the United States and that congress reserved
the right to use the road and its right Of way
as military road, and for any other public
or government use, and that the railroad by
its acceptance of the charter agreed to and was
bound by these provisions made for the pub
lie benift. The Postal Telegraph company,
having complied with the act OF congress and
having accepted its conditions and restrictions,
was, therefore, entitled to use the railroads
right Of way for the construction Of its tele-
graphic line. An injunction was, accordingly,
allowed restraining the railroad company from
interfering in any manner with the construc-
tion Of the telegraph line, and the application
of the railroad company enjoin the construc.
lion Of the telegraph was refused. Evening
