seen. The mill was discovered to be on fire
about III o'clock, and had then gained but

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION. -The Terpsichor-
can Club, gave moonlight excursion to Ore
gon City, last Friday evening The steamer
Vancouver was engaged for the occasion, and
left her dock at O'Clock p. NJ, carryingaway
a large number of people, both young and
old. After quick run, she arrived in Port
land, where she received on board accessions
to the party. Progress was rather slow on
nearing Oregon City, ON account of the low
stage OF water, but we arrived in town about
ii o'clock. The crowd now proceeded to
Pope's Hall, where preparations had been
made to receive the party. The hall was
well lighted, and the floor in excellent cond.
ton for dancing. Good music was taken
along with the party, and everything seemed
to pass off pleasantly. A good number of
Oregon City people were in attendance, and
remained until the party dispersed The
party numbered nearly one hundred couples
The boat left Oregon City at 3 A. NJ, arriv.
ing in Portland at $3.50 AN. Stopping here
long enough for the Portland people to dis.
embark, she started for Vancouver, arriving
at 1880 A. NJ. with about as sleepy set of
people as We have ever seen. The unani
nous conclusion was. that the excursion to
Oregon City. was grand success. L. X.
Sohns and James Davidson were the mana.
sers, who have our thanksf for fsvors received.
