the recipient of articles we canno. ap-
propriatc to our OWE use, we SGT it aside
for certain friends addicted to the habi.
Of guzzling. These gentlemen, how
ever, conceived the brilliant idea OF
iilching the beer, and replacing it with
a key of water. Accordingly on Christ
mas eve, at the solemn hour of mid
night, they attempted to put their plan
into execution. Approaching our office
stealthily, after Il whispered converse
ton at the door, they proceeded to re-
move their boots, and entering in
stocking-feet, ruthlessly explored the
sacred precincts of our sanc,sm. The
noise made by stumbling over sun
dry articles, however, aroused our
Sam, whose ears are ever on the alert
against midnight depredators, who
hastily arose from his bed, seized a
boot, the only weapon at hand, and in
severe and menacing tones demanded,
"Who goes there? Answer, or
Shoot" at the same time holding his
boot aloft in threatening attitude.
To say that the jokers did not stand on
the order of their going, but went at
once, would not convey anything like
an adequate idea of the hasty exit that
ensued. In their confusion, they piled
over each other Unfortunately, and
amidst explosives deep if not loud,
made their way to the street, leaving
Sam waving his boot in triumph, and
exulting over his easy victory. 1t
would create general surprise, if we
should give the names Of the perpetra-
tors of the attempted larceny. We
have promised not to do it, and as they
appear duly penitent we shall keep the
promise. It is no violation of the COM
pact, however, to state that two of the
smart Alexis who planned this outrage
upon our property, are members in good
standing of Columbia Engine Co., and
even hold high positions of trust in that
organization, while one is an officer Of
our municipal organization, whose
special duty it is to protect the property
of the citizen, instead of placing it in
jeopardy. Mention the subject Of beer
to either Of them and they Immediately
have urgent business around the cor
ner.

pulled out every feather of the un-
fortunate parrot, and broke up the

generally. When Mrs. {. returned
she found the monkey chattering on

parrot, looking deeply injured, and
greeted her with, We've had hell Of
time. The appropriateness of the
remark caused shouts of laughter.

The PORTLAND FIRE.-No sooner has
the smoke cleared away from the charred
remains of Boston, than Oregon is
visited by the fire-fend, and subjected
to quite as much devastation, in propo-
ton to her wealth and population as
the old Bay State. The destruction of
the wooden factory at Oregon City, was
a serious loss to the commercial inter-
ests of Oregon, but the recent affection
entails loss far heavier and affecting
many persons with less ability to recover
from their losses than the wealthy COM
pany owning the factory. The fire broke
out on Sunday morning about 10 clock
originating in China wash-house. 1t
soon spread to the valuable buildings
adjacent thereto, and thence to other
blocks. The details and estimates OF
losses will be found in our news columns,
Among the sufferers will be observed the
name Of S. j. Mccormick, ESQ.,, the
pioneer stationer of Portland.

CAHIsrMAs.-A Merry Christmas in
reality, we believe the last ono has been
in this community. The little ones, es-
pecially have enjoyed a happy season in
anticipation and possession of coveted
toys, while the children of larger growth
have entered into the character of Santa
Clans with a liberality that proves their
hearts to be as young as ever. On
Christmas eve, beautiful trees were AZ
ranged for the Sunday Schools of the
Unitarian, the Episcopalian, Thursday
night, the Methodist, the Baptist and
Presbyterian societies laden with pres
ents for all ages and conditions of men
and women That of the Unitarian
society, in Tacoma Hall, exhibited the
skill and good taste of the ladies of the
Society in remarkable degree. All
however, were exceedingly creditable,
and will long find place alike in the
memory of scholars, teachers and spec
tators. On Christmas day, the usual
services were held in the churches, and
business was very generally suspended.

Special Despatch to Tbs Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Municipal Reform
Association OF Philadelphia, composed of the
oldest and wealthiest citizens, which was formed
to fight the rotten but lpoTerful political Ring
in that city now claim to have sufficient evidence
to set aside the election Of the Hartranft cardi-
dates, notwithstanding they figured up major
ity Of Il, 600 in the Fifteenth Ward. -Four Of
the election officers have certified that
-, -, vote Of the ward was a.
'oo 80 as to increase Hartranft's majority by
the Fourteenth Ward Hartranft's ma-
4 -~as altered from 52s to 729. In the Thia-
teenth Ward Hartranft had 800 majority, but So
this ward, unlike the Fourteenth and Fifteenth,
had no Municipal Reformers to look after the
manipulators, they made Hartrantt's ma ajority
1900, by prefxing the figure l to
the 500. In the Nineteenth Ward, which is
called f'The Rings Own" the majority was
993 before it was manipulated. After that it
was $685. The First Ward added !, 900 to the
legitimate majority, and the Twenty ty-aixth did the
game, al Of which will duly appear when the Mu-
nicipal Reformers get the evidence before the
public. These wards are all Republican, but in
some Democratic wards the majorities have fall
en- OF very mysteriously. The Fourth, for in
stance, year ago gave 1900 majority, and t6o
weeks ago gave but 800 majority for Bucka1ew.
