THE Mea1INNvILI.E COLLEGE.
McMINNv1LLE, Feb. q, 1878


MCMINNv1LLE, Feb. %, 1878.
Editor Democrat:
send to your excellent paper an
item of news, which, if you should
think worthy a place in your columns,
you may publish, as am confident
many of your readers are interested
In the McMinnville College.
During eighteen months past, Prof.
J. D. Robb has been principal of the
college, and with assistant teachers
has made a praiseworthy success. In
point of thoroughness in all branches
Of education, students of this college
are not inferior to those of any other
school in the State. The Prof. has led
out in adorning the beautiful college
square-a lovely five acre lot-with
ornamental shade trees. He COM
menced the work, and the trustees and
other friends of the college have fol-
lowed the example till double rows of
maple trees now greet the eye. We
hope soon greater variety of trees
will grace the college grounds.
The financial agent has succeeded in
obtaining an amount sufficient to en-
dow the school, and is now taking
notes on the subscription previously
obtained and soliciting for larger
endowment. The trustees have again
employed Prof. Robb, and also Prof
Russ-the latter very fine teacher,
we'll recommended, man that moves
business in earnest and with ability
The former is too we'll known as an
educator to need comment.
We have every good reason to be-
lieve the school will be a rich blessing
to our country. Thus far ii has
smoothly, quietly and certainly made
its mark, and with the aid of two
additional teachers (for the third one
will be employed soonl we think that
those who have showed so large q
share of liberality and public spirit in
contributing for the school will be full
" satisfied that the enterprise is wor-
thy the sacrifice they have made to
advance il, while the hearts of many
rejoice that the cause of education has
true friends in every part of Oregon
The school will open with new corps
of Professors on the 1oth inst, and as it
then commences on the endowment
plan, every person having scholarships
shonld avail themselves of the benefit
of their subscription by sending their
scholars or obtaining some other schol-
ars to fill the place.
The steamers are making daily trips
up the Yamhili river now.

: DIsGUsTED.-Hen. Leighton, of the

to the fact that in California and Ore
gon on Feb. 1st plowing was progress
ing and men walking about with open
collars and straw hats, says: "Guess
they do not have ground-hogs there to
come out of their holes in February,
see their shadows and then take re-
venge on editors who make fun of
them by sending six weeks more of

have the ground-hogs out here but we
don't have any of the impudent, sassy
sort of editors who provoke them to
such, cussedness.

Editor Democrat:
1 thought perhaps few from this
part of the country would not be unin-
teresting to you just at this time. The
whole county has a decidedly white
appearance, there being about two
or three inches of snow, and conse-
quently pretty cold; but give as few
hours of south tChinook) wind and the
country will look like herself again
Stock is in a fine condition, but there
is no great surplus of beef cattle
Portianders are up here after their
beef, which sells at from to 5 cents.
a peddler named Nyer Cohn passed
through this part Of the country and
created quite a sensation. He. gave
to the children of respectable farmer
some presents and then went before
justice of the peace and had a search
warrant made out The goods, of
course, were fonnd in the possession of
the family. thev were arrested and
tried before o. T. Clark. J. P The
evidence showed that the peddler Of
fered to take $500 and leave the coun-
try, but the trick wouldn't work and
the family were found not guilty
This Cohn is a worthless yagabond,
and the people would do well not to
patroniZe him.

a BOLD DTHIEF.-LastS Saturday about
noon. n gentleman came across the
river in Mr.. Ashby Pearce's skiT and
moored IL alongside of Comstock's 8
wharf. rs he got out OF the boat and
started to come up into the city he OBJ
served a strange man standing alone
upon the wharf. But, thinking moth
ing oft, came on up the street. Scarce
ly was his back turned when the man
jumped into the boat and rowcd rap
idly down stream and in few minutes
was out OF sight of the city by
the bend in the river just below here.
Several parties saw the man In town
during the day, but no one seemed to
know him. He Is described rs being
of medium height. his hair dark and
"wavy." He wore Il cap and dark
sack coat. He was observed to pass
Spring Hill about +. NJ OF Saturday.
The boat was 16 feet long, and of n
green and straw color; mostly dark on
the bottom. A thin bar of iron, feet
long, had recently been put across in
the front OF the boat. Oars OF ash,
with oar-locks made fast to them.
There was common monkey wrench
in the boat.
Another.-On last Sunday Martin
Rainwater, who lives about q mile
above this city, had his boat also sto-
len from its moorings. Well, really,
this thing is booming monotonous.

a PRACTICAL JoKE.-A fun-loving
fellow Of this city last Sabbath sent an
aged neighbor lady copy of Wood-

nation that it was n very valuable and
highly priced religious journal and he
hoped she would peruse it carefully
The old lady placidly seated herself in
her comfortable chair, carefully ad-
justed her specks to Ler visual organs.
and prepared for "good square read"
of tristan literature The first thing
her eyes beheld was the heading Of a
dissertation on "Free Love-A Heav-
en-Born Relationship of the Sexesn'-
The individual no sent that pious old
lady that free-love paper doesn't pass
her house any more, but goes around
about four blocks to get home. He feels
that his life hangs by a brittle thread,
and don't want to throw it away by al
lowing that old lady to get o "dive"
