Mail Carriers Escape.

Newberg. Ore. Dec. 3O.--The section
of the big bridge spanning Chehalem
creek. southwest of town. on the Dun
dee. Dayton & McMinnville road. was
carried away at daybreak The heavy
rains OF the last two days have made
the creek a raging torrent. The
trouble was evidently caused by mon
ster log being washed over the mill
dam just above and hurled by the fierce
current into teh bridge. tearing away
the timbers. some Of which are seen to
be badly rotted. About so feet OF the
high bridge was torn out, some OF
which was washed away A section Of
the old mill-darn was also demolished.
Rural Mailcarrier A. C. Martin had a
close call. as he came into town across
the bridge Just before the structure
went down.

Trade?" He said. among other things:
Waiting for reciprocity has deferred
rather tran FASTENED movements to-
ward freedom of commerce. Recent
reciprocity treaties of the United States
do not increase hopefulness OF the out
look for advance by this road. In
communities, a preferen-
tial tariff tends to have, as its most
conspicuous feature. an elevation of
tariff rates to countries not admitted
to preferential treatment. rather than
a reduction OF rates to preferred ma
tions. Little confidence seems justified
at the present time In the reciprocity

GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY.

1t is our melancholy duty this week
to chronicle the death of General
William Henry, which occurred at his
residence on State street, jackson, last
Sunday morning, The announcement
Of this sad event in the columns of
the daily press has been read with
heartfelt sorrow in every part Of the
state, and has elected expressions of
sympathy with the beraved family
from far beyond it's borders. General
Henry's ardent patriotism, his state
pride, and his eminent public service
in difficult positions and at critical
junctures, secured for him the love
and admiration of his fellow citi-
zens, and his name will be preserved
on the honor roll of the common
wealth to which his time and strength
were so freely given. He was born
some fifty years ago at White
Hall, his faher's plantation in eMadi-
son county, though good part of his
early life was passed in Rankin.
Little more than boy at the close of
the civil war, he had nevertheless
served as Confederate soldier, and to
the close of his life he manifested a
marked proclivity and genius for the
pursuit of arms. For period of six
teen years, ending on the 10Th of
Januray last, he was Adjutant- Gener.
al of Mississippi, having been ap-
pointed to that position successfully
by Governors Lowry, Stone, McLaur.
i'm, and Longino. The present eff
cielot condition of the state militia
should be mainly attributed to the
exceptional ability he brought to the
work of its organization. AS Adult
ant General he was Enthusiastically the
right man in the right place, and his
long continued retentionssi in that Office
was ampy justified by practical re-
suits. In political life also General
Henry exhibited rare fitness for
leadership. Elected to succeed the
late JOHN McGill, he was the first dem
ocratic mayor of that city after it's es-
cape from republican domination. The
campaign which his victory brought
to close was d very exciting and
memorable one. The foremost op.
ponents of the democratic ticket were
determined and desperate men, and it
was only by skillful managements and
display of the utmost never and
firmness that very serious conflict
was avoided. 1t has been justly re-
marked that as it's chief executive
Mayor Henry gave to Jackson an i'm
petus that has sent it forward ever
since.
For some time preceding his death
General HenTy's friends observed
with painful apprehension the indica.
tions of his failing health. He, for
his part, endured his sufferings with
fortitude and met the inevitable
camly. Az he lay in his coffin, that
very eminent Misslssippian, Judge
Calhoon, who had known him long
and we'll, looking his last upon the
still form and countenance composed
in death, said, There lies thor
oughbred, a perfect gentleman. -
Nothing could have been more fitly or
justly said. General Henry was q
gentleman in every sense of the
word. He was gentle by birth and
breeding, and gentle in 1.-The native
kindness Of his heart. Secure in
the quiet dignity of noble man
hood, courteous and considerate al
ways. he bore the grand old name
