PARKER DONATION CLAIM.-Mr A. j.
Wiley, of Washougal, informs us that the
2lO acres of timber land, being half of the
Parker donation claim, advertised in this
paper last week and on the first page of this
issue, belongs to him, and that he IS not Of
fering it for sale at the price stated. The
west half of the Parker donation claim,
wherein is situated the town of Parkersville
in this county, belongs to Mr.. Wiley; the
east half to Mr.. Lewis Van Vleet. The adj
vertisament should have described the tract
for sale as the east half instead of the west
He informs us that resurvey of the division
line between the two halves, shows that the
large house built by Mr.. Parker some twenty
or more years ago, is upon the west instead
of the east half and that other improv
always supposed to be upon the east half are
also upon the west. A change of land lords
will probably be the result.

LIEUTENANT THELLER The remains of
the late Lieutenant Edward r. Theller, Dist
Infantry, who was killed in action with Nez
Perces Indians at White Bird Canyon in
June last, arrived at the garrison on Tues
day, EN- route to their last resting place at
Oakland, Cal. The remains were received
at the wharf by Company &C., 2lst Infant
ry, to which company the deceased had be-
longed in his life time, and escorted by that
company the band and the officers of the
garrison to the government engine house,
where the body was deposited and guard
of honor placed over it. On Friday the re-
mains will be taken to Portland on the steam

on board the George w. Elder" which car

gentleman and brave officer. "Requiescat

1t is reported that the Presindent is
going to send in his New York nomina-
lions again, thereby renewing the war
with Conkling. 1t is thought such a
course would be great political blum
der. But as plumbers are the order of
the day at Washington, it is not at all
improbable this one may be made.
The following Senators are classed
as doubtful on the silver question:
Grover of Oregon, Booth of California,
Window of Minnesota, Eustis of Louis
lana, Chaffee of Colorado, and Paddock
of Nebraska.
Lynching and skirmishing is going
on down at the Texan frontier A
small war may grow out of that, if en-
ergetic steps are not taken to stop it,
Louis J. Jennings, London CORES
pondent of the New York World, says
that in view of the silver swindle,
American securities are depreciating
in the European market. He con-
cludes pertinent and tersely written
letter as follows:
As for saying that paying in silver is not
partial reputation, that deceives nobody.
If lend man 800 in gold and he pays me
500 in silver, he has repudiated his debt to
the extent of $40 at present rates All the
long speeches and tall writing in the world
cannot make different things of it, any more
than they could prove that black was white.

CHRISTMAS WAS CELEBRATED IN VANcoU-
YER about as usual A Christmas tree, very
handsomely decorated with goodies and gifts,
useful and ornamental, was what made the
children and everybody else happy at st.
Luke's Church. The decorations, though
not so elaborate as last Christmas, were taste
full and everything that could be desired on
the festive occasion At the Methodist
Church the usual programme was varied
somewhat by old Santa Claus coming down
the chimney, right in the midst of all the
little folks. The gingling of bells and the
clapping of hands, and the oh! obs. of the
children was sight to cheer the heart of
anybody, even a crusty old bachelor An
appropriate address was delivered by Law
yer Spencer and Chaplain Collins followed
with few remarks in hisAisually happy and
impressive vein. Aside from the doings at
the churches, the people about town cele-
brated the day at their homes by gift offer
ings to each other, good dinners and social
reunions

CHRISTMAS SoCIAL.-Lincoln Lodge of
Good Templars invited in few of their out
side friends ON Christmas night and celebra-
ted the occasion most appropriately. The
comfortable hall all lighted and warmed, was
a coy place to spend the evening. The ex-
ercises were varied with select readings, rec
itations, music, &c; very interesting pro-
gramme Among those who read, were
Capt. Smallwood and Mr.. Patterson. Mr.
Spencer gave a couple of recitations which
We're loudly applauded. The music by the
quartette composed of Miss Birdie Marsh,
Mrs. l.. Durgin, Wilson Knight and Mr..
Patterson, with Miss Lucy Crawford at the
organ, was appropriate to the occasion. This
affair was in pleasing contrast to the revelry
and dissipation which was going on at some
other places in the country ON Christmas night.
The lesson to be learned from its pleasure is
this: 1t would be still more profitable and
enjoyable to have these reunions oftener dur
ing the year, and 1878 would be good time
to try the experiment.

Several new voices have been added to the
choir of st. Luke's Church. Young ladies
and gentlemen, who have taste and talent
for singing, do well to assist the church
choirs. The addition TO the choir in this in

esting. The names of the new singers are as
follows: Misses Carrie Hack and Mollie
Miller Capt Gray and Messrs A. W. Gray,

RIVER IMPROvEMENT.-Mes Reid and
Hoffman have been doing good work lately
on Lewis River, near the bridges. They
have had a dozen meu at work clearing out
the logs and rubbish which had drifted in
and accumulated above the bridges. With
a channel prepared so that the floods of the
river may run unvexed to the Columbia
there would be little danger to bridges from
high water.
