vision question:
There came, last Sunday, IN the Salem
Statesman. q communication 10 the rub
lie, signed by several citizens, relating
to our very esteemed and gond.natnfed--
and wlthal useful and able boy.eenator
stating IN substance that he had had
himself represented aA banker, but
only owned five shares Ia the scia bank /.
that IL had been eaid that bis property
would be increased IN value 10000 by Il
division 81 the county, whereas lie only
owned q lot and 4 sllanty; and that his
other property was u bull calf. Now
this Was evidently malice "willful and
aforethought, = after the manner Of di.
yiaionists and anti-diyieioniets for JET
don't pretend 10 be n millionaire; he las
q little property In Scio and Linn county,
outside llttlo moro In SOME other eoun-
ties; some ahares In bank; and last
year he innocently imported bnll eaii,
al coat Of sl60.-hut he still persists
that old Linn county, for al of hiin,eyen
II he does live at Scio, up III the Forkan
shall remain undivided aud unsetriiled.
Thia morning committee Of senators,
consisting OF senators Tongue, Moore
and Tilton, accompanied by your CORES.
pondent, seeking o. console the youthful
senator from Seio, kindly volunteered TO
offer q resolution OF u bill, appropriating
sufficient sum 10 purchase for him n
helfeF cali, but he seemed 10 doubt their
good faith, perhaps, because they were
all republicans. Seriously, there II too
much Of THE county division fever. and
too nany county divisions, for the benefit
OF certain towns OF small localities and
OF interested parties, and senators should
not grant every request of that sort that
comes TO their ears.

the table. The wreck In that room was
almost complete, The queesest part oI
the story Is that the coyote and I've dogs
ali went through singla small pane Of
tiie window. Dir Lane, who was at work
some distance from the house had heard
the dogs, but was considerably surprised
on going into the honae 10 fiud what had

lost To know " hai had become of his dogs. |
