TIE FREEZING TIMES IN OREGON

from the W ana W ana Union.
Considering the severity Of the weather,
the number Of head of stock reported dead
thus far is limited. From Umatilla county
we hear of the loss of five hundred sheep in
one instance and nine hundred in another,
but no considerable fatality among cattle
and horses. In this valley we hear of the
loss of large numbers of sheep on the
Touchet, and the loss Of smaller lots in
different parts Of the country. Of horned
stock the loss is comparatively limited, al
though we ale told that if the bad weather
continues for a few days longer the loss will
be great. a great many cattle are reported
weak and tottering, and continuance of
the bad weather will find these dying by
hundreds. In many localities we learn that
there is great scarcity of water for cattle,
and much of the suffering and ill-condition
is attributed to this cause.

There was young girl in Manila,

Lest she'd burst and 50 be her own killer.

Great Excitement,

There was considerable excitement
created in the city yesterday, and the day
before, by the Sheriff informing a large
number of our wholesale. druggists and liquor
dealers, that they had been presented at
the last term of the Criminal Court, for
falling to take forgotten oath, prescribed
by an unknown statute, not to sell adul-
terated liquors. This official information
not only produced a very great excitement
among our leading druggists and liquor
dealers, but also evoked in the heat of pas
sion, some very unpleasant 'cuss" words
about that method Of administering the
law. We hope that the guardians of the
law would take proper view of the case,
and determine that it is not an indictable
ofense for a private citizen to be ignorant
Of a law Of which the officials themselves
knew nothing.

THE venerable virtue of early rising,
which has been so long recommended by
the sweet singing of the birds, is lately re-
ceiving severe scientific knocks. 1t seems
now to be the general opinion of the doc
tors that children should be permitted to
sleep about as long as they please in the
morning; and that jumping suddenly out of
bed at daylight S bad for the health. The
Massachusetts Legislative Committee on
Labor having under consideration a ten
hour law, was told by Mr.. Lorenzo Lawton,
of the great manufacturing city of Fall
River, that "the girls of the poor man
ought 20 lie in bed in the morning and
snooze and stretch and grow, just as the
daughters Of the rich man do" Should
this doctrine be finally established, a great
number Of excellent proverbs and nice
didactic anecdotes viii become entirely
useless.

MASONIC rheAfer.

Last night closed the engagement of
Mss Kate Fisher at Masonic Hall in this
city. Her appearance in Nashville has not
been as duly apple lated as the many
brilliant qualities of this gifted and cultivat-
ed actress merit. Tomorrow night Mr.
Johnny Thompson, the great facial mimic
and humorist, commences an engagement at
the Masonic Hall Theater and from the
complimentary manner in which the press
of other cities speak of his efforts in this
his peculiar branch, we think our citizens
will give him crowded houses during his
short sojourn here. His novel and original
style is said to be most excellent.

Right through the blacklist cloud

EVERY now and then scientific opinion,
upon which the world has long acted, is at
tackled by somebody who undertakes to
show that il is not scientific at all. An
English physician now declares that hard
water is better than soft, in proof of which
he adduces the fact that the best specimens
of the English race are to be found in hard
water districts, and shows that the general
death rate in England is lowest where the
water is hardest, and highest where it Is
softest
