EMOTIONAL ADNIaATIoH.-We got a
letter this week with a little Cupid
onto the envelope and our name writ
ten on the ribbon which he held in his
mouth; so it must be true, as Beecher
says in his card Of defence, that noted
men Of all professions are constantly
beset by letters from emotional wo-
men protesting the widest admiration
and most heart-bursting for passion
them. The only thing that looks bad
about ours i5 that the woman wanted

harvest hand, as SIZE was u widow and

HALsEY AND OcHoco STAGE LINE.
-Messrs. Keeney & Gross, of Browns
vile, have established an accommoda-
ton stage line between Halsey and
Ochoco Valley, making the round trip
out and back in one week. This is
fast time, and ought to commend the
projectors of the line to the patronage
of the public. Read their advertise
ment elsewhere, and learn the time OF
their arrival at the different stations
on TIE route, as well as terms for
passengers, which we regard as eX-
tremely liberal. Persons desiring To
90 to the Cascade Mountains on q
pleasure trip will find this the cheap
est and speediest way of getting there

A TALENTED LECTURERFss.- Mrs.
Addie L. Ballou has during the week
delivered a series of lectures at the
Court House in this city, to large aiFr
appreciative audiences. In these days
women lecturers are so numerous MS to
attract very little more attention than
men who are engaged in the same call
ing; but Mrs. Ballou is so much superb
or to the average itinerant lecturer
that she is deserving of more than n
passing notice. She is refined, scholar
ly and talented, and her lectures dis
play the deepest researches into the
sciences as well as the mysteries of
of things material and ETHEREAL. Her
themes are well chosen, to interest the
inquiring and imaginative mind; her
arguments are clothed i'll chaste and
elegant language, her GESTURES natural,
easy and graceful, and her voice care
fully modulated and completely under
control. Like most OF the lecturers sne
appears to talk rather to please, than
to convince, her audience; and this is
well, because it is scarcely probable
that in a few evenings lectures she
would convince many people OF the
truth of Spiritualism, while in the
same length of time her elegant lam
guage and pleasing address would win
for her talents many admirers. Our
citizens were generally highly pleased
with her course of lectures, and we are
quite sure she would receive a cordial
greeting if she should give our city
another visit before her return to hel
Eastern home.

AT THE WRoYG TRUSTING PLACE.
A Lebanon girl wrote a note to her
Adonis, requesting him to "meet 'er
by moonlight alone" but her dad
dah" wAo bore the tender epistle to
the postshop, surreptitiousiy, telonlous-
ly and with malice aforethought mace
himself master of its contents before
he deposited it in the office ana was
on hand ut the time and place deslg-
mated. But that girl knew her fond
narient TOO we'll to let him slip up on
her in that way. She had the thing
ou arranged before hand with her
lower, and, had given the ancient
paternal party the note, well knowing
he would gobble up It's contents before
he mailed it. So while the Old man
was all bumped and cramped up IN the
corner of calf pen, nursing his wrath
in the shape of black snake whip on
his knee and breathing out threaten
ings of dire punishment upon the III
starred couple for keeping him waiting
Thus for hours, those two young turtle
doves were sitting on log at the other
side of the village, gazing at the stars
and kissing between chuckles at th'
way they fooled that antiquated pa
ternal guardian of hers. All, indeed
1t was time OF perfect bliss
A blessed soul reunion,
And had to them the sacredness
OF heavens sweet communion.
But It was decidedly rugged on the ole
man, who has since been laid up viii
the rheumatics and siatica and rute
baga, and as soon as he is able to p
about again he is to be turned out o
church for manifesting recent unmls
taxable signs of profanity,

his proficiency. The Doctors sole reasons for
giving a list OF examinations passed is merely
to prove to those requiring assistance that he
has received thorough education, and to dis
tlnguish him from pretenders or self-styled
Doctors, who in nearly every instance are un-
possessed Of any qualifications whatever, and
who endeavor in their advertisement to cast
odum upon the legitimate practitioner, and
deceive the weak-minded by bogus testimoni-
als and misreprese nations. Patients before

he has practlced In San Francisco, there has
scarcely n day passed over without bringing
some grateful testimony from patients who
have been Under medical advisors for years
wituout bcnbtiti and there Is no one, however
should seek his advice.
On account OF daily increasing practice,
DR.. THOMAS has opened a Medical Institute

It consists of twenty.eight BEAUTIFULLY furnish
ed rooms so that patients visiting the city, and
wishing to place themselves under his imme
diate care, can be accommodated with bOarC

comforts of home, including baths OF every
description.
