the ladies of Wala Walla, for the benefit of St.

On the opening night the receipts were over
$500, and this Notwithstanding the weather was
so inclement as to prevent very many from at
tending. Las. night, the attendance was large,
and there Was not the least diminution of the
liberality that characterized the opening night.
The Fair will be continued to-day and to- morrow, >,
and bearing in mind that the proceeds are to be
applied to, the purpose of education, it is hoped
that there will be a full attendance and that all

HEAVY FALL OF SNow.-On Friday of
last week, this immediate vicinity was visi-
ted by heavy fall of snow Fer some TWEEN
ty-four hours the fakes continued to descend
until the whole valley was covered to depth
of from twelve to fourteen inches So heavy
fall of snow, so early in the season, is some
thing unusual, the ike never before having
been known by that mythical individual
known as the "oldest inhabitant."

TEST OATHs.-It is thought that many
Of the recently elected members Of Congress
from the Southern States, will be unable to
take the oath prescribed by law, and that as
a consequence they will not be permitted to
take their seats. The existing oath is sup
posed to be sufficiently stringent, but lest
there may be no mistake, Senator Sumner
proposes that citizens of States late in re-
bellion shall be required to subscribe to
the following OATH
al do hereby swear that will, at all tines
hereafter, use my best endeavurs to maintain
a Republican form of government in the
State of which am an inhabitaDt, and the
Union of the United States; that will at
all times recognize iHdissoluble loyalty to the
Republic; will always discounteuance asy
endeavors to break away or secede from the
Union; will give my influence and vote at
all times to sustain the national credit; will
always discountenance and resist any at.
tempt, directly or indirectly, to postpone,
either in any part the debt contractedby the
United States in the rebellion, or obligations
assumed to Union soldiers; will always dis
eountensnce and resist any laws paking any
distinction of race or color, aud always strive
to maintain State Government completely
loyal to the Union, where all wen shall enjoy

. Tue NAILS-The snow storm has played
sad havoc with the mails Since Thursday
of last week we have had no mail from the
lower country, and in the same time we have
had but two mails from the upper country.
On Tuesday night the stage came through
from Boise for the first time since the snow
storm. The driver reported great difficulty
in getting through, and had been detained
in assisting the outward bound stage. The
road is now broke, and we may expect the
Boise mail to come through regularly. On
Wednesday morning last, Mcssrs. Geo. F.
Thomas & Co. started wagon for the Dslles,
taking all the mail matter that had accumu>
lated, and Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express.
Until navigation is resumed, the intention
