A conditional Marriage ana it's Result.

z &
lFrom the Versailles, (Mo.,) Gazette.
Our readers will remember that last
Fall, q conditional marriage between Jack
Rains and Mrs Jane Bruoer, nee Geret,
of this county, was chronicled, In which
it was stipulated that should George Bru-
ner ever return from Idaho, the marriage
should be held for neugEt. George
formerly was James husband, but several
years ago some difficulty having occurred,
they were divorced.
The married life of Monsieur and
Madame Rains was moving along smooth
" enough until some ten days ago, when
one stormy evening George Bruuer put
in his appearance at the Rains mansion.
George had been digging for gold in
Idaho and come home with his pockets
stuffed full Of it. As matter of course
the hospitality Of the Rains mansion was
extended to him, and George entertained
the family circle By descriptions Of the
Heather Chinee aud of his own hair
breadth 'scapes from the grizzly bears.
.The tale he told revived in Mrs.
Rains her latent love for the hero, and
next morning Mr.. Raios was reminded
Of the stupulations IN his marriage con,
tract. A few days after, Mr. Rains and
Bruner were in town together, consulting
lawyers and indulging ii sundry and r.,
rious libafioDs. ssss u

BROWNSVILLE, May 25th, 1871
MR. EDITOR Last Saturday proved
to be one of the liveliest days Brownsville
has witnessed for some months. The
streets swerc almost blockaded with teams,
the sidewalks crowded with busy feet,
and BUSINESS men generally well pleased
with their days work, and went to bed
thinking that the fabulous town Of Hal
sey, so lately grown into notoriety, had
not injured the trade of Brownsville yet.
One of the attractions Of the day was
a horse show, at which the claims and
superiorities Of the different horses in
the neighborhood were urged upon the
raisers of that kind of stock. We. are
sorry there was not mere animals on exs
hibition, but what there war. made q
very creditable appearance, showing that
there are as good horses in Oregon as any
where else.
The Linn County Lodge of the 10.
of CT met at the Good Templar Hall
in the afternoon quite a number of
members of the different lodges of this
praiseworthy order were present, and the
life and interest exhibited showed very
unmistakably that the order is in a
healthy condition. Delegates were cleo
ted to attend the State Temperance Con-
vention that meets at Salem on the 10th
of June.
A public temperance meeting was held
at the NJ. E. Church in the evening the
attendance was good. Rev. A. Robe-de-
livered very logical and pointed address,
which went far to prove to the intelligent
audience present that the use of intoxi-
eating liquor as beverage is useless
as well as very wicked practice, entail
ing numberless evils upon the human
system, as well as being very deleterious
to the moral welfare of society He wa.

Of burning papers, and Mrs. Haggerty had
poker stirring them up, so they would

them up stairs on the attic floor, in a heap
of ashes.
