Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Jacob and

parents in this city, Saturday, March Sd, of
diphtheria This is case of unusual sad
ness. Elizabeth had always been in robust
health until struck nown with the terrible
disease of which she died after an illness of
only four days. She was the idol of her
parents and beloved by a large circle of ac
quaintances. Had she lived until Sunday
next, the ! ith inst, she would have attain
ed the age of seventeen years. The pro
cession which accompanied her remains to
the grave was the largest ever seen on a
similar occasion here, and steslified to the
popularity in which she was held in the

A Wagon Upsets.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
j. S. STILL.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
On last Friday evening company
of young ladies and gentlemen started
from their homes to attend an oyster
supper, at d. w. Canyons, Esq. The
road which they had to travel passed a
grade, on one side of which. was high
hill, and on the other was rapid stream.
Lewis River swollen by the late rains,
and rushing on to the mighty ocean.
The wagon they were in was heavy
laden with young folks, aud as they
were ascending the grade the wagon
lost Its balance and over it went, the
wheels in the air and the company I'M
der. The faithful horses pulled with
all their might to keep from being
dashed into the rapid stream below, and
the young gentlemen leaped forth and
soon had the ladies safe in the road, but
the wagon was the hardest to get up !;
but the young men worked hard and
soon had the pleasure of seeing the
wagon also safe. After all was safe
you could view the slant where they
had fallen and observe half dozen or
so crushed umbrellas, smashed combs,
soiIed artifcials, ruffles torn from the
ladies' dresses, the straw from the wag-
OH and, in fact, good assortment Of
goods.
Blu. the company was a jolly looking
set, with mud from their heads to their
feet, looking as though they had been
on a spree and just rolled out ola
gutter. Fortunately no one was seri-
ously injured, but DR.. Eaton's eye aud
nose were badly BACKED.

A Word to Patrons.
PRK1N. w. T., March &c, 1877.

Patrons, remain steadfast in your
purpose. And above all, confne
your order to your own class. The
very life-the very existence of the
order-depends upon the oneness of
the interests of it's members. Such
outside support as it needs it will
quickly obtain when the people see,
as they soon will when the fight is
fairly opened,-that the Grange is
battling for the rights of the whole
people, as we'll as those of the farmer.
The Grange has the good of the ma
ton at heart, and it's aim is to be just
and generous in the exercise of its
powers. With political parties, as
such, it has no application, and yet it
must act as political party itself in
one sense, many of its ends can be
attained only by exercising the polit-
ical rights of its members. 1t desires
to break down abuses and secure the
adoption of just laws. To accomplish
this it must put men in power who
will faithfully carry out its wishes. 1t
proposes to do this: To see that it's
individual members, entitled to the
right of suffrage, cast their votes only
for men who are pledged to the ac-
complishment of the object which it
is working for. Patrons under these
circumstances will vote for no man as
Republican or as a Democrat, but
as a man pledged to the adoption of
a definite reform. Already the poll
ticians, approaching the power of the
order, have sought to use it for their
own purpose; but the order has de-
clined and will continue to decline
all such overtures. What sympathy
has it with the men who have aided
in bringing about the very abuses it
seeks to correct? What bond of I'm
ion can there be between the order
and the men who have aided and en-
couraged wildcat railroad specula-
ton? Who have fastened the land
grab system upon us? Who have
put it in the power of the monopolist
to rob the people, and who are stained
with the infamy of the credit mobilliers
and the back pay steal? This is we'll
understood by the farmers of the
country, aud the politicians have I'M
dertaken a hopeless task. The day is
approaching when better men will be
charged with the work of the State,
and it is the task of the Grange to
hasten the advent of this period. The
Grange has shown itself the farmers
best friend; its spread means protec-
ton to him; encouragement to him;
a greater degree of prosperity and
happiness to him; for its object is to
make him better and more prosper
Gus farmer and man.
Truly yours, farmers friend,
