sold ont and Gone.

D. NJ. Cook, one of the Oldest and most
respected citizens of this county. sold his
farm short time ago and this week started
for the upper country with the intention of
locating somewhere IN the Palouse country.
He takes with him a lot of fine mares, g.
year old Pereheron stallion, and about HOO
head Of sheep, and of course his location will
depend to great extent on the grazing facil-
tiles. His farm, comprising $50 acres, lies
near Tangent, and has been bought by Wes-
ly Swank. The price given'was $50 per acre,
and the growing crop, and farming imple-
ments were thrown in We are very sorry
to lose Mr. Cook, and we congratulate the
citizens Of the community in which he secs
ft to locate, as he will be valuable addition
to their numbers. He is good neighbor. a
warlm-hearted friend, an enterprising man,
and is sure to be liked and respected where
ever he settles

Three RIooiy battles.


Last Tuesday was lively day in pugilistie
circles, and if such things would continue
we would get quite reputation before long.
The first ''mil" was between foundryman
working for Cherry and brick-layer work
ing for Clark. Both were having hoh-
day, both were drunk, and both were quar-
relsome At last they agreed to go down on
the bank of the river and have fight, so
they locked arms and started, the foundry
man being so full he could hardly walk.
They had their fight and the foundryman
was knocked down and stamped until his
head locked like piece of raw beef. Com
ing out Of this so well, the bricklayer felt
rather proud of himself, and soon happen
ing to meet young butcher who works for
Harris, and having a grudge against him,
he waltzed into him. This didn't turn out
as the briek-layer expected, for he was
knocked down and had his scalp laid open.
After washing up, this knight Of the trowel
got on the war-path again. found the bloody
butcher in a short time, and in a still shorter
time was beautifully licked again. To add
to the rest Of his bad luck Mr. CLARK after
wards discharged him Our city needs
money very badly but not . single one of
these men were arrested, which is something
we do not understand

Fretuns.

One fretter can destroy the peace OF a
family. can disturb the harmony OF neigh.
borhosd, can unsettle the councils of cities
and hinder n legislation OF nations. he
who frets is never the one who mends, who
heals. who repairs evils; more, he discourages,
enfesbles, and too often aisables those around
him, who. but for the gloom and depression
Of his company, would do good work and
keep up brave cheer. The effect upon a
sensitive persoa of the mere neighborhOod
Of a fretter IS indeseribable. It is to the
soul what cold, icy mist is to the body
more chilling than the bitterest storm. And
when the fretter is one who is beloved,
whose nearness of relation to US makes his
fretting at the weather seem ike personal
reproaeh to US, then the misery of it becomes
indeed insupportable. Most men call fretting
5 MINOR fanlt-a foible, and not vice.
There is no vice except drunkenness which
can so utterly destroy the pesce, the happi-
ness of home.

Temperanee picnic.

Persons who attended the temperance pic
ME at Roberts Bridge last Saturday and
Sabbath inform US that it was grand success.
A great many speeches were made by differ
emit persons. chief among whom was DIR.
Watts. The crowd in attendance was very
large, particularly, on Sabbath. and all were
respectful in their bearing and listened at
tentively to the different speakers.
An interesting game of bass ball was
played on Saturday afternoon, near the pic
mic grounds, between the Shedd club and the
''Hay-makers' The latter club has gained
notoriety by always coming out behind, and
in this contest did nothing to damage their
reputation. The score stood 40 to IS against
them. We must say they have pluck, and
think they surely will yet find some elub
they can ''wallop."

Noreross Heard Prom.


For the past few weeks reports have been
coming across the mountains stating that
JAG EOrcrozs, formerly OF this city, had
been killed by the Indians in John Day
Valley. His brother-in-law received letter
from Mrs. Aorcross last week sayiag that
they had arrived safely at Camp Harney.
Norcross got off with the suit he had on his
back, and his wife has one extra dress, and
the Indians have taken or destroyed every
thing else. His horses were all captured,
and his cattle scattered to the four winds.
We are extremely sorry to hear of his mis-
fortune, and hope that he may succeed bet
ter in the future. Although he has lost con-
siderable, still a sort of self-satisfed feel
ing must creep over him when he puts his
hand on his head and still finds hair.

Bad Crops.

D. n. Cook was in the Office few days
ago and he informed us that the crops out
on the prairie would fall short about half,
and that there were hundreds of acres out
near Peterson's Butte that would not pay
for harvesting This is bad report and we
sincerly hope Mr. C. has been misinformed.
The crop prospects few weeks ago were
very bad, but farmers now generally bring
in better reports. From what we can learn
we think Linn will have considerably over
a half crop.
