Canton industry,

| Parkersburg, w. Va, Trying to Capture q
Canton Industry.
The State Journal of Parkersburg
W, Va, of the 22d contained the follow
ing:
Councilman Thayer is in communica-
tiOn with some gentleman at Canton,
Ohio, who represent one of the largest
establishments in this country for the
manufacture of farming implements,
These gentlemen desire to locate some
where in this part of the Ohio Valley,
and prefer Parkersburg to any other
point, because of its superior shipping
facilities. They assure Mr.. Thayer that
their establishment, if located here, will
employ not fewer than two hundred
men, and probably a greater number
than that after they get fairly started.
viii they come?
That depends almost entirely upon
the encouragement or lack of encour
agement offered them by Parkersburg.
Other towns have rendered them free
building sites, and they expect that
much of Parkersburg.
Mr.. Thayer is working industriously
to bring the works here. The entire
city should feel practical interest in
the matter.

BOUND OVER.
George Robinson to Answer to Common
Pleas Court.

deOrBe hODlnBOn TO Answer TO Comm on
Pleas Court.
Some weeks ago the DEMOCRAT con-
tanned an account of the arrest of col
Ored man named George Robinson,
claiming Pittsburg as his home, on a
charge of having committed the assault
upon Daniel Yant on the night OF the
10th of February last.
Yant, it will be remembered, was
knocked down on the Steet while going
home from John Aliens saloon, where
he had been in the evening, and robbed
OF a gold watch and about $40 in mon
ey, and was horribly beaten on the
head. Gant lay at the point of death
for several days.
SuUn aIler Lne assault, Robinson was
arrested on suspicion of having COM
mitted it and was placed in Jail. Blood
on his coat and vest, together with con
Trajectory stories regarding his where.
bouts on that night, were evidences
against him.
Last night before Mayor Blake, Rob
inSOn was given preliminary hearing.
He was represented by Attorney j. j.
Grant, while Prosecutor Welty repre-
sented the State.
But two or three witnesses were ex-
amined, the principal being the as
saulted man, Daniel j. Yant. Yant
swore positively that he recognized
Robinson as one of the men who com
mitted the assault upon him. Other
witnesses swore that Robinson had
been in Aliens saloon and had watch.
ed Yant closely, especially when Yant
handled his watch and money.
After some three witnesses had been
examined, Mayor Blake bound the de-
fendant over to Common Pleas Court,
in the sum of $1.5O0. Bond was not
furnished and the defendant was re-
manded to Jail.
The evidence against Robinson is
said to be very eliminating, and it is
likely that the cOlOred gentleman has
gotten himself into tight box.

GREAT ADVANTAGES.

GREAT ADVANTAGES.
A decided advantage Marion cOun-
ty has over many Others is the di-
versified farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
year; notwithstanding this is wet
climate during the winter months,
the uplands are seldom too wet tO
work, and long before the prairie
farmers are through with their seed
ing, the hill farmer IN preparing for
mis- summer work. And yet the
low lands are much preferred by
many; the yield per acre il generally
greater, and perhaps less labor is r,'-
quired to place the soil In proper
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, the bottom
lands are sure To bring the best
crops. No better farming land can
be found In the United States than
that ON the noted Howell prairie,
French prairie, Santiam prairie and
salem prairie. The soil of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels Of wheat
and sixty Of oats per acre can he
readily secured.
FACILITIES FOR MARKET.
The Willamette river, with two
lines Of railroad running the entire
.cngth of the county nom north TO
south, with the Oregon Pacific road
crossing the southeast corner Of the
county, affords ample facilities to
reach a market I'm any direction.

PHYSICAL FORMATION.

The county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about 900, 600 acres.
There are two main divisions, the
mountain and the valley. The
latter extends from the Willamette
river TO the foot of the CASCADE
mountains, distance of about tii-
teen miles.
The mountainous portion contains
some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyed land; lying in strip
twelve miles north and south by
forty miles east and west, and com
prises all classes Of land, from rich
narrow valleys in the passes, up
through all the grades of rolling,
hilly and broken, 10 that of rock
bound canyons and inaccessible
craggy peaks. 1t is generally heavily
timbered, and in the near future
will be valuable for it's lumber sup
plies. These hills and mountains
afford wonderful summer range
for stock, and many Of the more en-
terprising farmers are availing them
selves Of this opportunity, and when
the cold frosts Of autumn approach,
the stock are brought out to fresh
pastures, thus enabling them 70 sur
vive the winter storms with little
care.

Talking about echoes, Col. Ogeechee
claimed that he had one on his place, "a
few miles from Savannah, which beat
anything he had ever heard or read
about; one, in fact, which would
clearly repeat whole sentences. The
party of gentlemen were interested,
but incredulous, and arranged to ac-
company Colonel Ogeecbee home the
next afternoon to test the wonderful
echo.
The Colonel found, on getting home,
that IN the heat of the discussion he
had claimed more than the facts justi-
fed. Determined not to be beaten lie
called his Irish laborer.
Pat" says he, ''some gentlemen
are coming home with me tomorrow
afternoon to hear the echo. Now, /
want you to go across the river before
time for me to arrive, so you can an
swer back whatever we may call out"
"You name fur me to play ikker,

That's it, exactly said the Colo
mel. NOW, do you thoroughly under.
stand that you are to answer back
exactly what we say?"
ION, yls, sorr; ye a depind on me
entolrely."
Next afternoon the Colonel took his
friends to the river bank, and all were
ready for the experiment.
Making a speaking trumpet of his
hands, the Colonel roared:
Are you there?"
Back came the echo with startling
d~istinctness:

President Van Buren,.

Among the many stories told by
Thurlow Weed about Martin Van
Buren, was one narrating an incident
which occurred on the deck of a Hud-
son river steamboat. on the way from
Albany to New York. The merits of
Mr, Van BEren were being discussed
when the bSat touched at Undertook,
and 1.-THE Little Magician" as lie was
called, came on board. One OF the
party had been dwelling on his non
committalism, and complaining that
"a plain answer to a plain question
was never yet elected from him."
"I'll wager the champagne for the
company" added he, THAT II of us
shall go down to the cabin and ask
Mr.. Van Buren, the simplest question
that a be thought of, and he will
evade a direct answer. Yes, and I'll
give him leave, too, to tell Mr.. Van
Buren, why he asks the question and
that there is a bet depending on his
reply"
This seemed fair enough. One of
the party Was deputed to 60 down and
try the experiment. He found Mr..
Van Buren,, whom he knew well, In
the salon, and said to him:
"Mr. Van Buren,, IN gentlemen
on the upper deck have been accusing
you of non-committalism, and have
just laid a wager that you would not
give a plain answer to the simplest
question. and they deputed me to test
the fact. Now, sir, allow me to ask
you: Where does the sun rlseP"
Mr.. Van Buren's brow contracted;
lie hesitated a moment, and then

Union sharpshooters in the rear of
Vlcksburg played no small part i'll the
drama of the siege. One OF these, a
private soldier, was noted throughout
the whole Seventeenth army corps.
He was an unerring shot, and wore a
cap made Of raccoon fur. From this
he was called "Coouskin" the corps
through, and wherever he was woe to
the Confederate head that appeared
above q parapet.
"Coonskln" went out once in the
night time, crept up toward the Con-
federate defenses and bui.t himself IA
burrow in the groand, with a peep hole
in it. There he would frequently take
provisions with him, bury himself in
this burrow and stay several days at a
time all alone, watching for and shoot
ing Confederates.
AT length he built "Coonskln's
Tower" The Jackson and VIcksburg
railway had been torn up for miles in
the rear of Vicksburg, and railway iron
and cross ties lay all about.

King Of u Tight Little Island.

An interesting discovery was made
by the bark Queens Island on d recent
voyage from San Francisco to New
castle, New South Wales. Willie the
vessel was passing the supposed unin-
habited Island of PalmerstOn she came
up with a boat containing eight per-
sons. The boat was in charge of a
man who gave his name as William
Marston, and wbo declared that
twenty-five years ago he had deserted
the British bark Rllsman at Tahiti.
He had drifted until he had reached
Palmerston Island, where there were Il
few natives, also refugees. He settled
down TO planting cocoanuts, and liked
the employment SO well that he had re-
manned ever since. harston married
4 native woman, and has a family Of
eleven IONS and TOUR daughters.
The Captain of the Queens Island
found that the total population of the
island was thirty.three persons. They
all spoke English and seemed to be liv-
ing in peace and plenty. Although ves-
sells had passed the island by, believing
1t to be uainhabited, the little commu-
nifty had thrlven by Itself. At length,
however, Marston had made up his
mind to establish trading relations
with the rest OF the world. The

Would We Return?

Would we return
If once the gates which close upon the
past
Were opened wide for us and IL the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us
clear
To lead us back to youths lost land at
last,
Wherein l:fe's April shadows lightly
cast
Recalled the old sweet days of childish fear
With all their faded hopes and brought
anear
The far-off streams in which our skies
were giassed;
Did these lost dreams which wake the
souls sad yearning
But live once more and waited our return
ing,
Would we return?
Would we return
II loves enchantment held the heart no
more
And we had come 70 count the wild sweet
pain,
The fond distress, the lavish tears-but
vain;
uad cooled tho hearts hot wounds
amidst the roar
Of mountain gales, or. on some allen
shore
Worn out the souls long anguish aud had
slain
At last the dragon of dcspair-if then the
train
OF vanished years cane back and, as of
yore,
The same voice called, and with soft eyes
beguiling,
Our lost love beckoned, through times
gray veil smiling,
Would we return?
Would we return
Once we had crossed to deaths uulovely
land
And trod the bloomless ways among the
dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fled
With twilight wings along the g%lilnIner-
ing strand,
If then-an angel came with outstretch-
ed hand
To lead us back, and we recalled in dread
How soon the tears that once for us are
shed
May flow for others-how like words in
sand
Our memory faces aw ay-how oft our wax
Ing
Might vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would we return-
Would we return?
