Narrow Escapes.--
Last week Mr. Tobe H. Kauffman took a load of wheat to Oregon mills. The bags were unloaded in the upper story by means of a rope and pully <sic>. Mr. Kauffman was in the wagon when a bag of grain fell from above. He heard a shout, and leaped just in time to escape from the impending doom. The bag struck the wagon and was completely wrecked. Had Mr. Kauffman waited to learn the cause of the outcry he would inevitably have been killed or terribly injured.

Curiosities.--
Mr. Tobe Kauffman placed on our desk a freak of nature in the shape of twin tobacco leaves. One leaf grows out of the other, and they are of equal size. It is very seldom, if more than once in a lifetime, that a person sees a thing of that kind.
