day, by the leader Of the republican party at
that place, his stable and warehouse being

gave Mr. JudsOn msjori'y of % votes ever
Jacobs in this county: the latter two years
ago had & majority of IS, showing S demo
cratic gain OF 1G6 votes. \. T. Cation re-
ceived a majority Of % votes in this county.
We elected our sheriff and school superin-
tendent, and would have elected ocr whole
ticket were il not for the so-callsd democrats
who also nominated our representative, NJ.
Oppenbeimer, aud exchanged him for the re-
Publican representative, Henry Wellington,
at The polls. The latter was elected by u
majority Of five votes. In the same way
they traded off every man ou their ticket /;
some ot the republicans exchanged their sher-
If. K. Wolff. for the democratic sheriff, Mr..
james Monaghan, and 50 On through the
whole ticket
This so-called democratic ticket did not win
trick at the election, ana 80 long as they
have such men for their leaders as they now
have they can never be victorious. Neither
ought they nor any ether party that would
nominate men for Office and then exchange
them for others 20 the polls.

DESTRUCTION or PRoPERTY.-People liv.

opinion that oniy waier-spout can account
Tor the terrible freshe, Of Sunday last. The
rain of Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing was wsrri, but there was no considerable
amount OF snow in the mountains, and hence
the tremendous freshet is attributed to the
cause noted above. A subscriber informs us
that great damage wss done in the neigh
borhOod of Beans saw mill, on the South
Fork OF the Walls Walla; much timber was
washed away, aud The roads washed ont and
torn up in all directions. Bridges were swept
away and widespread destruction marks the
course OF the torrent. 0a the North Fork
the destruction is equally as great, aud i,
will require thousands of dollars to REPAIR

ST. ANDREW FESTIvAL.-A goodly COM

Mr. James Dswar, President of the Society,
presided, and by his efforts greatly contrib
uted to the general enjoyment. The mem
bers were accompanied by their wives and
daughters. and in this respect set an example
that might well be initiated at other social
festivals. A number of toasts were drank
with all the houors. y genuine piper, Mr..
y Mckenzie, of Grand Rpnde valley, was
present, AMI by his performance on the ma
;ional instrument gave great satisfaction.
The entertainment included speeches, songs,
recitatiuns, and dancing, in which all parti-
oipsted. We have srliom spent as pleasant
an evening, and when our Scotch friends
again celebrate the anniversary of their pat
ron Saint, we hope to he present. Ire fol-
lowing geutlemen were elected officers for
the ensuing year: j. Dewar, President: A.
MeCalley, Vice President; R. NJ. McCalley,
S cretary J. McGilveray, Treasurer. Those
present were the gurs's of Mr.. and Mrs. A.

they were Hospitality entertained.

THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY that united
Mr.. J. Daniels and Mrs. III. Seitel in the
bonds of wedlock was more than ordinary
pleasant affair. The company was composed
exclusively of the personal friends ef the
bride and groom, and the entertainment Was
complete in all It's parts. OF the principal in
this union of hands and hearts, We can say
that he is a true man, who will rightly np-
preciate aud reciprocate the love OF the es'i-
mable lady that has joined the current of ber
fate with his own, blessing and TO be blessed.
May their fnture be as fair and Joyous as
faucv could depict, and each day revive the
tenderst recollections of love, and hopes most
golden dreams be made real. And in the
coming years may the glance of the de-
voted wife be memory of joys, as the smiles
of the fair bride are prophecy of bliss Long

A BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. charitable
ifieud suggests that We write paragraph in
favor ct the organization of benevolent So
ciety' 1t 50 happens thst Walla Wnlla ia q
central point at which concentrates not ouIv
'ne lie and vigor of the country, but also all
'nose who from any cause are oyertaken by
misfoftune or disease. The miner away m
the mountains becomes disabled, and his first
thought is to get to Walls Wslla, where he
Is sure OF relief. The hardy settler takes up
quarter section Of land and starts in to make
him home. The hand Of sickness Is laid
upon him, and he too strikes out for WaIIa
Walla. fully persuaded that here he will have
the attention and care bis condition reqaires.
And so We may go on to the end of the chap
ter and We fiud that in a country that ex
tends Tor hundreds Of miles, whenever a msn
is overtaken by sickness or misfortune. his
mind a. once turns to WalIa Walla as place
of relief
In view OF the facts here grouped together,
those of our citizens who are charitablv dis
posed are unduly taxed, whilst Others escape
their just burdens. A stranger comes here sick
and helpless. He requires to be watched
through the long hours of the night, and
waited on during the day. His necessities
are knuun b-.t-o..a or tro ne,sons and
these are taxed beyond their means. and oc-
casionally beyond their powers of endurance.
To remedy this condition of affairs and secure
for the sick aud afflicted the attentions they
are entitled to on the score Of Common hui
mainly, it is suggested that benevolent So
ciety be formed, to be made up exclusively
of men. This society can do for Walla
Walla what the Howard Society has done
tor Sacramento, and may be the means of re-
lieving scores of persons whose wants may
otherwise remain unattended 10. This be-
nevolent society, with it's first organization,
would appoint relief committee, the mem
bers of which would be on the lookout for
The sick and afflicted and at all times be pre-
pared to afford the necessary relief. Details
could be made of persons to set mp with the
sick, attend to the burial of the dead, and
generally do any and all things that pertain
10 our common humanity poor family
in want would at once apply 10 the relief
committee and secure the aid required. A
sick man at hotel or lodging house would
have his case reported, and at once the agents
OF the society would take his case in hand and
minister to his wants. This is the work that
calls for the organization of benevolent so-
society, aud we make the suggestion that our
leading citIZsns-men of wealth and enter
prise-lend it helping hand. Here is broad
field for the exercise of our common buman-
iry. Who will be the first to enter and
gather the harvest

settlers we're flooded ont and compelled TO
take refuge on the high grounds. From

sifAirs. The water was two feet deep on the
door Of the new Catholic church and The
dwellings, both above and below The church
we're flooded out. Since the settlement of the
valley no such high water has been known.
