MAIL RoBsERIEs IN OREGON.

esS 01S a. tnis time, In the Mutt
nomah county Jail, eight prisoners con-
victed of robbing the United States
Mail This number includes Randall,
late Postmaster at Portland, under SEN
tence for the term of twelve years, for
purloinlng twelve and a-half ounces of
gold dust from 4 registered envelope in
transit through that Office in August last.
The details of his crime, arrest, trial
and conviction, are elaborately set forth
in the able opinion of J ndge Deadly, over
ruling the motion for arrest OF judge
ment ana new trial, made by council for
prisoner, apon the rendering of the verdict
Of guilty by the jury. Randall was a
map of hitherto unimpeached character
standing high in society, with many
wealthy and influential friends His con.
viction upon the evidence adduced, is
the highest encomium that could be
pronounced upon the integrity and abili-
| ty of the judicial tribunal before whom
thu case was tried.
The seven remaining prisoners are all
desperate characters. They are under
| sentence for terms ranging from five to
ten years. for robbing the stage carrying
the United States mail and Wells, Far
go & Co.'S express box, in the Blue
mountains, on the second day of August
last. This robbery was perpetrated in
broad daylight, by four men armed
with guns and revolvers, and wearing
masks.
The capture of these desperadoes was
one of the best executed detective trans
actions, recorded in the police annals of
this coast, requiring that COOL persistent t
courage and skill, so seldom found in
those upon whom such important duties
| devolye. The directionof the pursuit
and capture of these outlaws, devolved
upon Hon. q. A. Brooks, United States
Postal Agent, and it is to him that the
public arc indebted for the security of
life and property, consequent upon the
incarceration of such a number of law
less vagabonds.
The robbery, as before stated, was
committed on the second day of August.
On the Goth of the same month, two of
the desperadoes were arrested on the
| 3Oth another was taken, and on the 4th
| of September the remainder of the gang
were captured. The arrests were thus
made almost simultaneously, and at diff.
ferent points, some hundreds of miles
distant from each other. Some were
found at Walla Walla, a part at Boise
City, and tho remainder at La Grande,
near where the robbery was committed.
Thus within thirty days from the time
of committing the crime, these enemies
of society and violators Of law, were safe
in the hands of its legal adEainistration,
and they are, at this time, where they
will be restrained, at least for a time,
from repeating their attempt to prey up
on Uncle Sans rights, or those of the
honest public. Too much credit cannot
be awarded Mr. Brooks, and those who
assisted him in securing and bringing to
justice, such number of lawless despera-
does.
IF there be others capable of pe-petra.-
ing such outrages, the fate of those who
have met the legitimate reward of their
crimes, will not fail to exercise salutary
restraining influence upon them.

Cheerfulness makes the mind clear,

says, "When you give, give with joyand

Smiles arelittle things, cheap articles,

both to the giver and the receiver, pleas
ant little ripples to watch as we stand on
the shore of every day life. They are
our higher, better natures responses to
the emotions of the soul.
Let the children have the benefit of
them; those little ones who need thesun-
shine of the heart to educate them, and
would find level for their buoyant ma
lures in the cheerful loving faces of those
who lead them.
Let them not be kept from the middle
aged, who need the encouragement they
bring.
Give your smiles also to the aged
They come to them like the quiet rain of
summer, making fresh and verdant the
long, weary path of life. They look for
them from you who are rejoicing in the
fulness of life.

INTOXICATED RoBINs.-Some of onr
common robins, when they go South to
spend the winter, are exceedingly fond
of the berries of the "Pride of India" a
tree which is grown extensively for orna-
ment and shade in some localities of
Georgia and Florida. The birds collect
upon it in great numbers, and, after feed
ing while, many of them become so
intoxicated that they fall to the ground.
Here they are picked up by the colored
population, who esteem them very nice
materials for "pot pies" If left undis-
turbed, the little creatures soon recover
from the effects of their indiscretion.
