I scarcely know how it happened but a timber must have fell and struck me on the bead.

The'first thing that I realized after it was that I was straight and still on something hard, and when I tried to move myself and speak I found it impossible to do so. I concluded that I must be in some very dark, tight place, for I could not sc-e; in fact, I soon learned that, though perfectly concious, I could do nothing but hear. A door opened and footsteps, approached; but I felt a cloth taken from my face, and a -voice which I recognized as that of Mr. Jones, the father of my wife that was to be— said:

“ He,hasn’t changed m uch,” and his companion, whose voice I knew to be the village undertaker, H opkins by name, said lightly:

“ Better looking dead than alive. How does Jcrusha feel about it? Take on much ?”

“ Oh, no, she had her eyes on another fellow anyhow, and a better match, too, except the money part.

- Though I had nothing against Ben, only he didn’t know much, and was about tho homeliest man I ever knew. Such a mouth; why it really seemed as though he was going to swallow knife, plate and all, when he opened it at dinner.”

“ Well,” said tho cheerful voice of Hopkins, lie’ll never open his mouth again,” and then he proceeded to measure for my coffin for it seemed that I was dead, or they -thought I was, which was all the same to the greedy pocket of the undertaker. I had heard of undertakers who a lways whistled when they got a meas- iirp, but I never believed it before. But that man actually whistled a subdued dancing-tune while he measured me, and it seemed to me that three of four icicles were rolling down my back to the music of his tune.

His duty done, they covered tny face again and left to my own reflections, which were hot particularly comforting, although I had often heard it remarked that meditation was good for the soul, and this was the best chance I had ever had for .trying it.

An Lour must have passed when the door again opened, and two persons came whispering along to where I lay, and the voice of my promised wife fell upon my ear.

“ I dread to look upon him, Bob; he was so mortal homely, alive, he must be frightful dead.”

I ground my teeth in imagination, as I remembered how often she had gone into raptures or pretended to, over my noble brow and expressive mouth, and how she had often declared that if I were taken away from her she would surely pine away and die.

One of them raised the cloth, and I knew they were looking at me. Bob was her second cousin, and I knew he was that other fellow, her father had mentioned.

“ Seems to me you don’t feel very bad about his d y in g ’Rusha, remarked Bob.

“ Well, to tell the truth,” said my dear betrothed. “ I don’t care much about it. I f he had lived I should have married him, because he was rich and father wanted me to; but I was getting about sick of my bargain for I knew I should always be ashamed of him, he looked so much like a baboon.”

“ But yon loved him ,” remarked Bob.• “ No I didn’t ! M y affections were wasted long ago on one who never returned my love;” and my fast-fad» ing idol sighed heavily.

They had covered my face by this time, and were standing a few steps from where I lay.

“ About how long ago ’Rusha asked Bob.

“ A year or such a matter,” with a deep sigh, which ended in a fit of sneezing.

“ About the time I went away?” interrogated the cautious Bob, coughing a little.

“ Well, yes, some’res near,” assented my dear affianced.

“ Now, Jerusha, you don’t mean to insinuate that I —”

“ I don’t mean to insinuate anything. Bob Smith!” and the angelic sweetness of her voice was somewhat sharpened.

“ Now see here, ’Rusha, I ’ve loved you ever since you were knee high to a gopher, but I thought when you came home that you was sweet on that other chap, but I swan I believe you liked me all the time!”

“ Oh, Bob!” said my was-to-be, in a gushing sort of way.

“ M y own ’Rusha!” remarked Bob.Then I heard a subdued rush, ao'

companied by violent lip explosions. I tried to kick, or grate my teeth, or do something to relieve my outraged feelings, but not a kick nor a grate could I raise. I t was an awful fix to be in, but I had to stand it, or lay it so I laid still and let them alone until they got tired of it, and then they went out, and I was again left to my own pleasant reflections.

Night came, and so did a lot of young fellows with their girls, to sit up with me: and they bad a jolly time of it,although it was against my principles to enjoy it on so solemn an occasion.

I t seemed an age until morning, hut it came at last and they went away. I heard them say I was to be buried that day at % o’clock, and I was beginning to feel decidedly shaky wnen Jerusha and her mother qame into the room aud began arranging for the funeral.

“ ’R usha,” said her mother, “ here is that snuff cglored suit of poor B en’s; of course lie will never have

any more use for clothes, so just put them away among your carpet- rags; they’ll maketa splendid stripe.”

Now that particular suit of clothes was just the neatest one I ever own' ed, arm wholes, collars, waist-bands, buttons, all just the thing, and my blood boiled to hear them talk so cooly of using them for stripes in a rag carpet. They kept on talking as they swept, dusted and cleaned up the room.

“ Bob says he will take the Martin farm to work this year,” said Jerusha, cheerfully, “ and as soon as we are married we shall go to housekeeping in that little cottage close to the road. Now I must get my carpet done, as soon as possible, for I want it in that nice little front room. These duds of Ben’s will make out enough rags, I guess. His folks live so far away they will never inquire about his clothes. Nov/, if it wasn’t for the looks of it, we could ask old mother Smith about coloring ye llow; she is sure to be here, too day.”

I was getting very mad now, indeed. - I felt that the crisis was near and that I .should either die or exi plodo, if they did not let my snuff- colored suit alone. Jerusha picked Inem up— I knew it, for I heard the buckles, and buttons jingle— and made for the door. I tried to shake my fist and yell at her, but all in vain. I laid there, outwardly as quiet as a lainb, inwardly boiling with wrath. I t was too much; the d eep est trance could not have held out against the loss of that suit. With a powerful effort I sprang up and screamed. Jerusha dropped my clothes and her mother the duster, "and both fled from the room, and the house, never stopping until chey reached Dr. Brown’s across the street With difficulty I managed to get my clothes. I had just got them fairly on, when Mrs. Jones and her daughter followed by a numerous company of men, women and children, came peering cautiously into the room. I sat on my board and looked at them. Such a scared-looking crowd was enough to amuse ah owl, so I laughed ; I knew it was unbecoming, but I couldn’t have helped it if they had chucked me into my coffin— which the undertaker was just then carry' ing past the window— and buried me the next minute. I laughed until I jarred the chair out from under one end of of board, and down I went with a crash. Then the doctor ventured into the room, saying, rather dubiously:

“ So you are not dead yet, Ben? ”“ W eil, no, not exactly,” I replied

‘ sorry to dissapoint my friends about the funeral however. ’

“ Y e s,” he said rather absently, ‘bad, rather— that is— ahem!’

Fooled out of that snuff-colored stripe! I thought as I looked at J e rusha.

Go and speak wiili him, said her father. He’s got the stamps, and you had better marry him after all.

They had began to gather around me and congratulate me on my escape. I ndticed that they cried a great deal more now than they ' did when I was dead. Jerusha came and hung around my neck, sniveling desperately, I gave her a not over- gentle push and told her to wait next time until I was safely buried before she set her heart on my old clothes.

O, I ’m so glad! she said sweetly, not appearing to notice what I said about the clothes, that you are not dead, Benny, dear. M y heart seemed all withered and broken to see you lying all cold and white. I wept bitterly over your pale face, my beloved.

Yes. I replied, I heard you and Bob taking on terribly, I t was a lucky die for me.

Could 3:ou hear? she gasped,I rather think I could;— some, I

replied.She looked toward the door, but it

was crowded full, so she made a dive for the open window and went through it like a deer. She shut herself up in the smoke-house, and would not come out until I had left the house.

Bob would not fulfill his promise of marriage with his cousin because she tried to make up with me again; so she is living a life of,single blessedness.

While I am writing, my wife is cutting up my snuff colored clothes to make a stripe in a new carpet for our front room.

From thé Jacksonville Sentinel.

In your issue of January 23d the following ‘ ‘Problem” is put forth:

“ Is the auriferous ‘Big Blue Lead’ of California the channel of the ancient Columbia river ? Who will answer ?”

To any one but a geologist well acquainted with the country between tho “ Big Blue Lead of California” and the “ extinct river in Baker County, Oregon1” tho question will be a poser; but in the absence of such a “ master” to solve the “ problem,” I will be pardoned for offering an opinion.

At the time these “ dead rivers” were living streams all that country between the points named on the North and South, and Jacksonville on the West, including the Southern part of Baker, Grant and "Wasco counties, and embracing, also, all of western Oregon but Curry, Josephine, and the western part of Jackson, with all western California, except Del Norte, Klamath, and the western part of Siskiyou counties, was a part and parcel of the Pacific Oecan. The western part of Jackson, with all of Josephine and Curry counties in Oregon, and the western part o f Siskiyou, with all of Del Norte and Klamath counties in California, were a grand island in the Pacific, some hundreds of miles off the eastern shore. The extinct part of old ocean -thus sketched, with its island (now so much of the coast range West of us), may not be very accurately bounded, bur certain it is that Jacksonville stands about one mile off the shore of a once mighty ocean, while Ashland is immediately on the beach. Cottonwood, California, is off the shore a mile, and Yreka inland but a short distance, -perhaps not more than a mile.

A little beyond you, to the East, Mr. Editor, and in fact all around you, for you, are nestled at the feet Of, and among a small group of 3mall islands, stood, or rather anchored, one of the Cities of the Icebergs, reflecting the gorgeous rays of the sun in a thousand different directions, as in its light and warmth they were enabled to discharge their cargoes of animals, rocks, trees, Ac., and giving to the 'place an air of business that no seaport of modern times, with all its wealth of shipping, could rival.

Ashland was not favored with a channel and harbor into which these ice vessels could sail and find quiet anchorage from the storm without, but thousands of hapless icebergs, drifting too near the rocks, were stranded in the breakers, leaving their, cargoes, as everlasting monuments of their nativity and disaster, to be read and studied with delight by the scientific mind of the coming man.

The same'convulsions that lifted the extinct part of the ocean above its original water level also raised the Sierra and Cascade range of mountains, and thus the waters East of this range were divided [from those on the West. How long the waters were thus pent up in this elevated inland, basin will never be'.known, but its rim at the Dalles of the Columbia, the chasm through which , the'Klamath flows, and the passage of the Colorado, were finally overflown, and the immense reservoir was thus gradually drained and opened up. enriched, for the future habitation of man.

Having promised thus much, a few words will dispose of the “ problem” in accordance therewith.

Into the extinct ocean thus in imagination re-created, poured the living waters of those now “ dead rivers,” with whatever of wealth their density and velocity enabled them to carry, the one draining the country on the North and the other on the South.

The “ auriferous deposits” of the “ Big Blue Lead of California” and the “ gravel lead of Baker county, Oregon,” were collected iron; the country adjacent to where they are now found. Their present wealth depends almost entirely upon the original richness of their own immediate localities. Heavy (or course) gold does not wash far, unless there is great tall and consequent power in the stream to carry it along. Beside", the country adjacent to both streams is known to be rich in gold wherever explored.

There is much of “ C.’s” article that is of great interest, hut I have not now time to endorsedt, while the part considered still remains an open question. Some of tho premises taken are incorrect; the “ problem” is not fairly disposed of. I invite "criticism, as this is written more for the purpose of awakening interest in the subject than for any other purpose. R.

The M ountaineer under the head of “ the facts in the case,” publishes tho following regarding the transfer of the M oody m ail contract to the O. S. N . Co., “ W e wish to set before the public certain facts concerning the m ail service between this place and Portland, prem ising that what we state comes with authority. The public are well acquainted with the work of last season, the two lines, and thè fact that the 0 . R . T, C o ., better know n as the Teaser Com pany, carried the m ail since last July. Early in January last, M r. D. M. French, proprietor ol the boats Teaser and Otter, notified Mr. M oody by letter. M r. M oody being in Portland at the tim e, that except on certain conditions, with which Mr. M oody did not feel justified in com plying, he should cease carrying the m ail, and tie up the boats on and after Jan. 9th , 1875. On the 7t.h o f Jan. the river closed, Mr. M oody being still in Portland; since that tim e we have received our m ails' overland, and have been well served in that respect, as compared with former years. On Mr. M oody’s return from Portland, he m et Mr. D . M . French, and finding no satisfactory arrangements could be entered into for a continuance of their business relations in the m atter o f the transportation of m ails, they had a final settlem ent. Mr. M oody has now m ade arrangem ents with the O. S. NT. Co. to perform the m ail service on this route, and when the ice shall disappear and the river be again open for transportation, they w ill take the m ails for us. These are the sim ple, unvarnished facts; the boats are still the property o f M r. French, and if the next season’s trade should justify, who knows but they m ay again plow the waters of our noble river in the interest o f com m erce?”

iiierry Pectoral,For Diseases o f the Throat and Lungs,

such as Coughs, Colds, W hooping- Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

and Consumption.Among the great

discoveries of modern science, few are

I? of more real valuo to mankind than this effectual rem- edv for all diseases of* the Throat and Lungs. A vast trial of its virtues, throughout this and other countries, lias shown tliat it does

surely and effectually control them. The testimony of our best citizens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that Cherry Pectoral will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; aud cases of Consum ption, cured by this preparation, are publicly known, so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and convinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender lungs need tiiis defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid tlie distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, Cherry Pectoral is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multitudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary coids, securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and painful Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured.

Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no c-ost or toil.is spared in making ever}- bottle in the utmost- possible perfection. It may be confidently relied upon as possessing all the virtues it lias ever exhibited, and capable ot producing.cures as memorable as the greatest it lias ever effected.
