A Practical Joke.


1t is greatly supposed that drummers
are a pretty wide awake class of men
who cannot easily be made the victim
OF practical joke; but one of our Leb-
anon fun loving boys caused considera-
bic amusement by pasting a piece Of
paper on the side of a travelling mans
shining stove pipe hat as Ii hung on
the rack while that immaculate word
singer was eating dinner at the st.
Charles hotel. After he had finished
his meal, he came out of the dining
hall in great hurry, put on his hat
without looking at it and started out
to make his calls. Everywhere he
went people enjoyed a good laugh
when they saw the paper stuck on the
glossy hat; but it was moi until he was
walking along Main street that he
knew what the people were laughing
at. He happened to meet an old
friend with whom lie does business
and his attention was drawn to the
piece of paper stuck on his hat. He
proceeded to remove it but hesitated a
moment and was heard to remark
"Well do they take my hat for bill
board2p then pulling off the paper
which proved to be an advertising
sticker he said; "guess / will charge
them for space and read-buy your
boots and shoes at Andrews & Hack
leman's.

or ten miles there are none. No one
can form an idea of the means employ
ed to bring them to the spot or who
constructed them. Around the lake is
a belt of woodland half mile in
length, composed of oak. With this
exception the country is rolling prai-
rie. The trees must have been planted
there ut the time of the building of the
wall. In the spring of the year 1856
there was n great storm, and the ice on
the lake broke the wall in several pla-
ces, and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged to repair the damage to
prevent inundation. The lake occu-
pies a ground surface of $500 acres;
depth of water as great as % feet. The
water is clear and cold; the soil
sandy and loamy. 1t is singular that
no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from nor where
1t goes, yet always clear and fresh.

that our farmers are turning their at
tention TO the raising of fine stock, and
before the eiapse Of many years the
valley will boast of as fine bred ami
mails as any portion of our farming
community.

4 SERIOUS ACcDENT.-SI II d Y
evening last, about O'Clock Charley
Walton, was severely burnt with pow
der, at the residence of his father, Mr..
j. D. Walton who lives in the north
part of town. The young man was
making some wet powder balls, up
stairs in a bed room. when by some ac-
eident half pound or more Of powder
was ignited, the powder being uneon-
fined, made little report and did little
damage, except to blow open the door
and burn the bed little, but the
young man sustained a severe burn in
the face and on the hands He will
doubtless be confined to his bed for
several days and will be confined to
his room for some time. The great
wonder is. that he was not killed and
the house fred.

\ Lone HoNoRED CARRER.-Prof.
]. j.. Gilbert has just recently closed
eleven years labor as teacher and prin-
eiple of Santiam Academy. He has
taught seventeen years in Linn county
thirty-five consecutive years in Orl and
in all has been engaged thirty-six years
as an educator. Few men so long en-
joyed the confidence, and so deservedIy
merited the appreciation of the public
asa teacher. Perhaps not less than
three thousand girls and boys have
been prepared, in part at least for the
responsibilities and duties of life by
this noble christian educator. We be-
speak for him, all the confidence and
patronage, that merit and fidelity de
serve, and together, with an apprecia-
ton and generous public we say well
done thou good and faithful servant''
and may length of days and much re-
ward still be added unto you"

fireside in Linn county, or any where
else.

A Pathetic Tale from Australia,

The other day leading Sydney solicit
tor received instructions from London to
hunt up young man who had quilted
London ten years previously, and draft
for $500 was inclosed to pay his passage
home. After course of advertising a
member of charitable society called in
and directed the solicitor to a certain
howell in lower Alexandria, Sydney. The
solicitor, knowing the 'lay'' of the
country, judiciously sent his clerk down
to catch the fever instead of doing it in
person.
That well dressed young man explored
the barbarous region, lodging through
back lanes and over mud pies and among
broken fences that hung YEARLY and
lopsidedly amid abysses Of mud, and at
last he arrived at hut which boosted a
box and pile of rags and straw for its
sole furniture. A weary woman, who
had once been handsome, and who under
happier auspices would be handsome
again. begged that they should not be
turned out of their dismal abode until
her husband was better, and hollow
eyed invalid stretched on pile of rags
in the corner echoed the petition. And
these two were the heirs to fortune of
$50, 900. Sydney (Australia) Bulletin.
