who earn their living by honest

fellow farmers, upon the question of

farmers, you are all fully acquainted
with the resolutions passed by tho

June These resolutions without
abridging the rights of any man, set
or calling of men, without fear or
favor, but with an honest purpose.
clearly and clnd1dIy, defined, to
whom should belong tho unques-
toned right to make the lnw, and
to whom we were willing should
have tho privilege of the interpre-
tation and administration OF tie law
Now my good friends, much has
been said reprehensivcly in relation
to these resolutions, but our club
never has been asked by any other
club, nor even by any individual,
what were the motives that prompts
ed our action in tho promise, and
/ have twice challenged tho Lawyers,
the poor prosecuted Lw'oycrs to
discussion of our position, and have
twice failed to get NY challenge
accepted SO it is that ip tils way,
our club has boen q ,prived of any
opportunity to vindic..to it's action.
But thero is s,ying, which is as
true as it is trite "That where there
isa will there is Way" and we pro-
pose to mako way for the vontilation
of this matter. Now farmers right

ITEMS FROM THE INDIAN WAR.

There are from one to two hundred fami-
lies who haze taken refuge from the Indians,
in and about The Dalles.
The impression vt military headquarters
in San Francisco is not very sangulne as to
an early successful termination of the war.
Before the end of the season the popula-
ton will have decreased probably one-halt
east of the mountains, and the destruction
of crops and loss of stock will be immense.
Some of the whites massacred by the In
dams on Birch and Butter creeks, were
found with their noses, ears and tongues cut
out On the 9th inst. Old Eek and w. Mad
dox found two boys Just above Wilson's, on
Butter creek lying ON the edge of the water,
who had just been killed, but they were
afraid to stop to examine them, as the bushes

Pendleton is at present pretty lively, says
the East Oregonian; some 700 families help
count its population; families from down the
river-Nleadows and Happy Canyon, Butter
creek, Willow creek, and III fact all through
this northwest and west country, they have
all cleared out, leaving their cattle and sheep
to the mercy OF the Indian and wolf the pigs
and calves i'll the pen and corral, having had
no time, it seems, but to make haste for Pen

great Teams arrived at all hours during

shelter where opportunity offers. Calico was
seen on every fence corner, wondering what

\ Plea for Dignity.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Sunday Schools are recognized as cogent
factors in the cause of christianity. They
deal with the plastic minds of youth; hence
their incalculable Importance and inestima-
BILE value, when properly conducted. To
Undue the young with a love of God, to make
known to them His will towards them and
their duty to Him, and to inculcate lowly
reverence for molly things are ostensibly
among the main objects of the Sunday
Schools of to-day. | say ostensibly, because
when a school is conducted in q disorderly
or boisterous manner-boys allowed to scuf-
he, girls to scramble over seats, and all to
behave unseemly especially if in the house
of God-how can associations of sanctity be
connected Herewith?
And if instead of the solemn though sim
pie truths of revealed religion being faith
fully taught, the eager ears of youth are
tckled with funny stories" and questioha-
bic anecdotes, lust to interest the little
folks" how can religious lives be the result:
Ills pitiful
To court grin, when you should WOO a soul.
To break Jest, when pity should inspire
Pathetic cNhortation; and 10 address
The skitti>h fancy with Faction, tales
When sent with Gods commission to the
heart
Many good men marvel and grieye at the
progress of skepticism and infdehty. But
if children are not imbued with a sense OF
the greatness and goodness OF God, if His
house is to them place Of levity and mirth.
if his holy sabbath is to them merely day
of unhallowed pleasure, if they are Inter
ested' instead of instructed, is it wonderful
that their minds become a barren waste III
which the weeds of unbelef will eventually
flourish. Yours cordially.

The Astorian puts in a good word for one
