Presence or Mind. Last Thurs- day aa Mrs. Tozier and son Albeit were returning into town from a ber- rying ixcursion up at Quick's mill Mrs. T.'s hat blew off and she at- tempted to stop the horse when he threw his tail over the lines, and just at this moment M. John Hop-kin- 's vehicle came alonij at a rapid gait and struck Mrs. T.'s buggy and threw it upside down in a wink. Mrs. T. saw that the buggy was bound to go tso with remnrkable presence of mind she jumped out, her son doing the same, and she held on to the lines and controlled the horse which was considerably frightened. Mr. Hopkin's horse took a fright and he had to run the Animal into a fence corner and un- hitch him before ho could go to Mrs. T.'s assistance. , Then he went and set the buggy up. And strange to say? not more than a quort of ber- ries were spilled. .Mrs. Tozier dis- played more coolness under the cir- cumstances, than many of the muscu- lar sex would. Missixg. A girl named McKein, about siitern years old, made a sud- den disappearance on Tuesday of List week, from the residence of Mr, Frank Bid well, near North Yamhill, with whom she has been making her home for some timo, and although dilligent search has bc-ti- i mado for the fugitive ever since her lepirture by her foster parents, no twice or tidings have been discovered. She must nave weiermmeu on making a protracted stay away from home, as nhe took her clothing along with her. Reporter. A Situnklek "Wanted.

' Frank O'Connor had ' valuable pair of fine boots, stolon from the bar-roo-m of the St. Jooseph hotel,' a few nights since. And now Frank is anxious to interview tl at 'fellow with a pair of "Oxford Ties." It is not generally in accordance with a correspondent's dutj', to cast insinuations upon the people of the town in which he resides, but I can- not refrain from stating to the pub- lic that Cornelius has thrc or four of the most despicable, foul-mouth- ed little hoodlums iu existence. They insult every stranger that comes in- to town, and even go so far as to use obscene language on the sidewalks when ladies are passing. Unless this is stopped they may be edified by having their names published. And it came to pass that a certain W. C. T. of I. O. G. T's lodge, near- er to Portland thau to Forest Grove, did so far forget himself as to "shuf- fle the keerds" for a few delicious gulps of the "Ardent," not long since, in a saloon not situated a hun- dred miles from Cornelius. "Breth- ren, keep your armor bright." Scott Cornelius and Frank O'Con- nor recently bought Mr. Wilkinsons crop of oats, consisting of about for ty acres, on speculation. There will be a broken up firm if oats should happen to take a downward tenden cy. lLousn "notamcr ventured nothing won." Success to you boys. Scott was elected chaplain of. Holla- - day Lodge, I. O. G. T., the other night, and can't see anyone but per sonal friends binge. Mr. A. J. Davis has concluded not to leave Cornelius. He has rented tho "Morgan" house, just across tho street from the St. Joseph, and pro- poses to accommodate the hungry af- ter the same old style. J. R. Spencer has a flaming sign tacked upon bis store, which indi cates that be is agent for Wells, Far- go & Co. It js quite an ornament. Jack Power's cord wood is fast dis appearing. Cars are loaded every day for Portland. He has sent men up to Dilley to ship from that place. There will be no demand for wood for the next twenty rs iu Port- land, judging from the immense quantities shipped and j et to ahip. Qcicksaxd. Cornelius Hews: CoRNixrcs, Aug. 9, 1875. Melki Johnson who keeps tho liv- ery stable at Cornelius is going to move to Amity, Yamhill Co., where he proposes to run a livery stable, also a hotel. The Good Templars of this place had a sociable on last Saturday night. The members seemed to enjoy them- selves very well. G. Vickers and Alonzo Phillips have got about 40 acres of brush cut for T. R. Cornelius vand have taken another job for him. We say, "go it while you are young." Mr. "Toots," of Forest Grove, toots his horn pretty lively in the In dependent now. "loots is a Hvelv mr writer. Would like to know his real name. "Quicksand" accuses "Webfoot" of hoisting those demijohns and old clothes on "Benedict's" tfacr staff. Now "Webfoot" denies the chanre. He is more of a gentleman than that. He will state that "Webfoot" is well known to the mends of the late "Dick Swiveller." It was sup- posed by "Webfoot" that "Dick" had swivelled up by not seeing any of his items on dockel. "Webfoot" was not angry at "Benedict" at all. "Uenedict enly went to show the la dies the way to Hillsboro. "Web- foot" and he are friends. Pat Powers of this place took un to himself a wife, last week. W hope he and his companion may live long and happy. James Linn, formerlr of this place, returned this week "from one of the fisheries .on tho Columbia riv- er where he has been at work.

At the post-morte- m examination Dr. Vite opened herand fcund about (wo ounce? of pulver ized glass in her stomach which had destroyed the coating of that organ and would soon have cut through, and caused death. The following day her remains, followed by a large concourse of people, were taken to the Masonic cemetery near this place and buried. The cause of her committing the act is not certainly known, Testi mony before the Coroner's jury goes to show that she was in delicate health. She has said to certain par ties that she did not wish to live, that she wished she was dead, evidently not caring much for life. The com- mon report is that she did it from disappointment in love. Miss Jackson was only 22 years old. She has a large circle of rela- tives and friends who mourn her un- timely fate. She was a friendly, warm-hearte- d girl of good report and loved, by many.

Presence or Mind. Last Thurs-day aa Mrs. Tozier and son Albeitwere returning into town from a ber-rying ixcursion up at Quick's millMrs. T.'s hat blew off and she at-
tempted to stop the horse when hethrew his tail over the lines, andjust at this moment M. John Hop-kin- 's
vehicle came alonij at a rapidgait and struck Mrs. T.'s buggy andthrew it upside down in a wink.Mrs. T. saw that the buggy wasbound to go tso with remnrkablepresence of mind she jumped out,her son doing the same, and sheheld on to the lines and controlledthe horse which was considerablyfrightened. Mr. Hopkin's horsetook a fright and he had to run theAnimal into a fence corner and un-
hitch him before ho could go toMrs. T.'s assistance. , Then he wentand set the buggy up. And strangeto say? not more than a quort of ber-
ries were spilled. .Mrs. Tozier dis-
played more coolness under the cir-
cumstances, than many of the muscu-
lar sex would.

examination Dr. Vite opened herandfcund about (wo ounce? of pulverized glass in her stomach which haddestroyed the coating of that organand would soon have cut through,and caused death. The followingday her remains, followed by a largeconcourse of people, were taken tothe Masonic cemetery near this placeand buried.
The cause of her committing theact is not certainly known, Testimony before the Coroner's jury goesto show that she was in delicatehealth. She has said to certain parties that she did not wish to live, thatshe wished she was dead, evidentlynot caring much for life. The com-
mon report is that she did it fromdisappointment in love.

timely fate. She was a friendly,warm-hearte- d girl of good report andloved,by many. Peace to her dust.Mv she fiud a happier life in theworld beyond.
