= GRAND SCHENE.-The Oregon
Pacific Railroad company could in

and back Monday morning. AS
now arranged, a person going 10y

would avail themselves of a weekly
chance such as above suggested are
now deferred from so doing. The
attention Of the o. =. officials is re-
specially directed to the matter and
the JOURNAL is confident they
would realize handsomely from the
investment. There are large num-
bers Of salem people, and presum-
ably Of other towns, who cannot af-
ford the time TO 60 for a week or
two to the mountains, who would
like TO go occasionally during the
summer If they could do so in the
manner suggested.

THE FIRE BELL RINGS AGAIN.
And Again the Cause is on Unprotected
Piety Hill, Where Two More
Barns Burn.

AT exactly nine o'clock last night
the fire alarm sounded and a bright
light could be seen in the northeast
ern part Of the city, proclaimlng
that accident or the fire bug had
again visited Piety hill, where the
flames could make good headway,
being a long distance from the fire
department headquarters and in a
region where facilities for checking
their progress are very meager.
The fire companies made short
work of getting there, finding the
fire in two barns, one owned by
John McFadden and the other by
DR.. ]. w. McAfee on the alley in the
block surrounded by Summer, Capt.
tai, Marion and Union streets. The
fire had caught IN McFadden's
Darn and thence communicated to
McAfee's just across the alley, and
nad obtained such headway that
the only hope was to subdue the
DANES and prevent communication
% other barns or to Mr.. McFadden's S
dwelling house, which was only 30
feet distant from the barn and in the
wake of the wind. The neighbors
1ad gathered at an early stage of the
fire, and by means of garden hose.
md buckets had kept the roofs sat
lrated, so that as soon as a stream
commenced playing on the burning
buildings the others were out of dam
ger.
The hose was attached to a fire
plug on Union and Cottage, but the
engines were compelled to go to the
creek few blocks north. The fire
brigade did everything possible, but
it was plain that they were badly
handicapped Tor want of convenient
water supply. 1t must be acknowl-
dyed that the water works had an
excellent pressure and threw a good
stream.
Luckily there was little of value
IN either barn, so the loss is confined
to the buildings and few pear and
peach trees in the gardens. DR..
McAfee's horses happened to be
away in the country and his buggy
at the shop receiving some repairs.
McF'addeu's barn was eighteen years
bid and could be replaced with new
structure of like dimensions for about
$500. The doctors barn was not as
large, but was newer. There was no
insurance on either. Mr.. McFad-
den's house is insured with one of
John G.. Wright's companies for
Sl7OO, but the barn had one.
There is no known means of arriv-
ing at an intelligent surmise Of the
cause ofthe fire. The first seen of it,
it was under good headway, and no
person is known to have been
around the premises with any means
of setting it out. These make five
barns consumed in that quarter of
the city within two weeks.

SLAUGHTER OF a WILD Hoo
A correspondent Of the JOURNAL
writes: A man by the name OF
Thomas Lalond, living five miles
from Salem, last Wednesday night
shot and killed the famous wild hog
that has caused so much trouble and
damage. He was the terror of the
country, having chased and treed
many old and experienced hunters
No one until now has ever dared t'
draw a gun on this fierce animal.
II seems that the hog had been
raising havoc with the farmers
potatoes, doing his fiendish work il
the night, being a dangerous time to
attack him, but this bold and fear
less man took a favorable position
where the hog had been coming
through the fence. At twelve
o'clock lie was hid behind a log
looking anxiously, but not long had
he to wait before the huge beast
hove in sight, the bristles standing
high on his back. For a momen'
he was bewildered, but gaining hi
nerve he raised his gun and fired
With a wild squeal the hog leaped
high i'm the air, and then, with al.
the ferocity Of a wounded beast, he
rushed at Lalond. With knife in
one hand aud gun in the other h,
awaited the attack Gnashing his
teeth and frothing at the mouth, or
came the brute When in striking
distance, Laloud commenced double
action on him,--frst gun, then
knife. for half an hour when at last
the brute expired.
