A Fish Story.

The pleasing picture of the Iowa hero
inc, who had two pickerel under harness
and was drawn by them up and down
pond In beautiful little boat, was the
sweetest fish story ever clipped with an
exchange editors sheers. But who
shall say the ingenuity Of the local
chronicler has got to the end of his
tether and devised the sweetest possible
hsh story2 Here is the Whitehall
Times, for instance, with a romance of
the queen Of the speckled beauties. A
man. has an artificial fish pond with at
least 5000 fish, each weighing from a
half pound to two pounds, more or less.
He also has little girl, FIVE years old,
who has succeeded in training the fish
so that she can go to the edge o the
pond and with handful of bread crumbs
feed them from her chubby little hands.
They have learned to jump out of the
water and snatch worms out of her
fingers and they are extremely fond oi
their little mistress. One day she lost
her balance, and pitched headlong into
the water where it was deep. She says
that when she went sway down" she
called Justify for help. Her cries quickly
attracted her parents, and they were
horfified at seeing the little daughter
floating upon the surface of the pond
The father rushed to the edge and
reached out for his pet, and as he raisec
her from the water a perfect solid mas
of trout was found beneath her. Thes,
faithful subjects Of the little queen, a
she fell, quickly gathered beneath her
and thus showed their love for thei
mistress BY bearing up her body unit

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We publish the most important part Of the
retiring Governors message leaving out much
that is repetition of matters recently pub
lished in the newspapers of the State:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiues Of the Legislature assembly Of
the State Of Oregon:
Under the Constitution of Oregon it is
made the duty of the Governor to give to the
Legislative Assembly information touching
the condition of the State, and to recommend
such measures as he shall Judge to be expedz-
ent. In compliance with this constitutional
requirement have the honor 70 submit for
your consideration the following:
Hon. & F. Grover having been elected at
the last session of the Legislature to seat in
the United States Senate, resigned the Office
of Governor ON the LIST day of FebruarJ le77,
and the same thereupon devolving upon me
under the Constitution, Immediately entered
upon the discharge Of its duties. am graft
fed to be able to say that during my brief
term of Office the people of Oregon have en-
joyed in good measure the blessings of gem
er Il health and prosperity. Perhaps no State
in the Union has been more highly favored
than ours IN these respects, or has greater
cause for thankfulness to Divine Providence
far BENEFITS bestowed The many disturbances
and depressions in trade and commerce that
have seriously affected the industrial and e.
nancial condition Of other States have not in
jured Oregon in any material degree. On the
contrary, although several counties in the
eastern part of the State have been exposed
to the ravages of a desolating Indian war, the
development of our commerce, though slow,
has been sure and steady, and our varied in
dustries have generally manifested a healthy
activity, and have met with reasonable re-
turns. The foundation of our growth is firm
and reliable. The vast material resources of
Oregon furnish solid and enduring basis for
the spirit of enterprise that animates our peo-
Pile, and for that wonderful superstructure Of
vigorous aud thrifty statehood which we are
rearing here on this western shore of the con-
tinent. We are not dependent for our pros
perity upon any morbid spirit of speculation,
or upon other abnormal or adventitious causes
There is therefore no over-growth, but on the
contrary, our progress in material wealth, and
in all the elements that go to make up great
and powerful State, is healthy and steady.
FINANCES
The balances in the treasury at the close OF
the financial year ending September II, 1876,
