TIE New York papers are advp-
eating the policy Of treating ugly
women with the same Difference as
handsome ones. The fun of the
thing will be seen when the ugly
make application for the recognition
of their rights.
A REVIVAL of union prayer meet
ings is one of the new things in
Portland. Prayer circles are held on
shipboard along the wharves and in
vitations extended to all the seamen
in port. It is undoubtedly true that
no city on this coast is in greater
need of thorough moral purging
than Portland.
We are gratlfied to state that the
two emigrant families, lately ar
rived from the East, have found COM
Portable homes for the Winter. Mr..
Jones has rented q house in Tumwa-
ter and will find employment there,
as a mechanic in the carpenter bust
ness. Mr.. Bennett has been en-
ployed by Mr.. David Chambers, as
farm hand, on his place a short dis
tance east Of town.

agonizing account Of q recent mar
riage in that place says, 1T would
be matter of supererogation on our
part to attempt description of the
happy young lady's attire; suffice it to
say, it was en- regele and appeared

arm Of the manly looking distingue
gentleman, whom she now claims as
a husband. Wonder if there is q

The incoming train this morning
was detained about an hour by q
landslide between Warren's Point
and Tumwater. The railroad man
ayers may think themselves FORUM
ate if these little hindrances do not
occur quite frequently during the
rains of the coming Winter. It is
fortunate circumstance that the por-
ton of the road most liable to be
disabled by land-slides is SO near its
principal terminal point, where the
discovery of the impediment would
soonest be made and its removal
short job.
We are in receipt of advices from
Santa Claus, the old gentleman him
self, to the effect that his favors will
be scrupulously withheld from all
those who patronize any other deal
ers than such as advertise their
wares in our columns. Old Kris
topher Kringle has long been held
in high esteem by the miniature part
of our community, and We are sure
that this new departure in his policy
will be warmly indorsed by all right
minded dealers in holiday goods as
well ~ publishers throughout the
pale of Christendom. We believe
Santa Claus is right, We do.
