to the attractions there on the 4th OF

time.

the head of his class in arithmetic

stands ahead in geography and spell

MINsTELs.-An immense audience
turned out last evening to witness
the performance of the Haverly
Minstrels. Yeslers's Halt was
packed to suffocation. and many
were only enabled to obtain stand
ing room. All expressed themselves
perfectly delighted with the per-
formance, and the only regret was
that they did not remain another
night. Without going. to greater
length than We have time and space
to expend, we cannot give the troupe
the favorable notice they certainty
deserve. We can only say that it
was by long odds the best troupe Of
the kind that ever visited the Sound.
We hope that after their visit to
Portland they may decide to take a
return trip to the Sound. At the
conclusion of the performance they
left on the North Pacific for Port
land.
THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Thirty
years ago last Sabbath. says the Or
egon City Enterprise, DR.. Atkinson,
general missionary for the Congre-
gational Church in Oregon and
Washington Territory, preached his
first sermon in Oregon in this city.
Last Thursday afternoon. after the
association adjourned. the delegates
and friends repai. ed to the basement
of the Baptist Church to enjoy an
hour or two of social reunion, and
partake of the good things which
the ladies had provided for the oc-
casion. At the close DR.. Atkinson
and his estimable wife were greeted
with an unlooked-for gift, in the
shape of purse containing S4O4. so,
generously given by the churches
under his charge.
Mas. Jordan of Knappton, from
whose arms an only child was swept
to sea and lost on a steamer disabled
in coming from Oysterville a year
ago last December, departed this
life at Knappton yesterday at 2 P.
NJ, after giving birth to triplets, two
of whom are living. Mrs. Duffy, q
sister of the unfortunate woman.
has taken the two little ones under
her charge. Mrs. Jordon leaves a
husband and a great many friends
to mourn her death.
CoM1NG.-T Ths Victoria rifle teaE:
have finally decided to accept the
invitation of the Seattle team to
compete with them on the Fourth.
There has been some doubt enter
tanned as to whether they would be
able to como and we are glad to
learn that they have decided to do
so. The contests heretofore have
been SO nearly equal that much in
terest is felt in the coming one, and
| no odds are offered on either team.
THE following bit of good advice
is from a Portland paper: "Look
out for bilks and quack patent med
icine men. California has run them
out and now they are plying their
nefarious vocation in Oregon. Port
land is overrun with them and not a
few of them have made their way to
Eastern Oregon. In these times Of
sickness if you want medicine get it
of your family physician.
DANGEROUS PRACTICE. We no.
tice that . number of small boys
amuse themselves every day by play
ing on and running over the booms
of saw-logs at the two mills. This
/ is a very dangerous practice and
liable at any time to result in the
drowning Of one or more of them
