ED. GAZETTE Thinking you would like
to hear from this place, and as the weather
is little damp to-day, l will give you such
news as 1 think will be of interest. We
have nice little town here, with daily
mail. There have been about thirty houses
built here since last May, and several large
buildings will be built as soon as the weather
will permit.
Baker & Co., of Walla Walla, are survey
ing railroad route from Whitman's Station,
on the Wallula and Walla Walla road, to
this place. Weather has been delightful.
Roads very good an average team will take
20 hundred almost any place over our roads.
Mr.. VIM. H. jackson, late of Albany, gen.
eral travelling agent fer the Grangers' Union
Co., Stockton, Cal, is here, doing an enter
prisiug business in the wire line. Crops
look well. Messrs. Lang & Co. are here
and will commence to receive cattle, that
they contracted for last fall, April lst. 1t
is estimated by stock men that there will be
left, in this county, about So, 600, for cattle
and horses, bought this spring. Money is

lar piece yesterday, and know that times
will soon be better. The citizens along
Wild Horse are now well armed with good
rifles, and they will make it hot for the In
dians if they should make US any trouble.
Most of the settlers have organized in com
panies. and intend to build strong forts for
the protection of women and children, and
your humble servant will be getting behind
"a good log if there is any trouble. Mr.. w
P. HowelPs house was broken into by man
named Smith, on the 18th, who stole pair
of pants. Smith was arrested, tried before
James Richey, Justice of the Peace, and
bound over for $lG0, to appear at a higher
court. A young man of this county, having
good horse, out rode Officer Fry the other
day, who was Trying to arrest him for lasso-
ing calves belonging to other persons. Since
that time has made himself scarce He says
cattle business is good-owns IA head of cows

The KBest Love.

Home love is the best love- The love
that you are born to is the sweetest yoa
will ever have on earth. {, You who are anx-
ious to escape from the home must pause q
moment and remember that this is so. 1t IS
right that the hour should come when you.
in your turn, should become wife and
mother and give the best love to Others !;
but that will be just it. Nobody-not a
lover, not a husband-will ever be SO tender
or SO true as your mother and father. New
er again, after strangers have broken the
beautiful bond, will there be anything SO
sweet as the little circle of mother, father
and children, where you were cherished,
protected, praised and kept from harm.
You may not know it now, but you Will
know it some day. Whomsoever you mar
ry, true and good though he may be, will,
after the lover days are over and the honey
moon has waned, give you only what you
deserve of love and sympathy-and usually
much less, never more. You must watch
and be wary lest you lose that love which
came in through the eyes because the one
who looked thought you beautiful. But
those who bore you, who loved you when
you were that dreadful little object, small
baby, and thought you exquisitely beautiful
and wonderfully brilliant-they do not care
for faces that are fairer and forms that are
more graceful than yours. You are their
very own, and so better to them always
than others. .-Selected.

Dec. 27, 1878. came to hand after considera-
BILE delay. After a careful consideration of
It's contents, have made up my mind what
I would do as had already entered into a
contract that will take me till the middle of

one place. And from there to RussePs for

JAMES JOHNSON.

The young man convicted with
Archie Rrown for the murder OF
Louis Josephs and executed recently
under the name of James johnson,
comes from highly respectable fam.
| lily, the greater portion now residing
in San Francisco. His, name was
James Taylor, and he was born i'll
Castine, Maire, which is port OF
entry and county seat of Hancock
county, is on the east side Of Penob-
scot Bay 35 miles south of Bangor.
His father was caulker by trade and
thorough gentleman in every Sense
of the word. His mother was a good
Christian lady whose teachings had
been unheeded by her wayward son,
and up to the present hour is ignor.
ant of his terrible fate. The family
removed to San Francisco where Mr..
Taylor died. An older son than
James was also caulker by trade,
honest and industrious, and worked
steadily to maintain his family as did
his kind father. Another son is one
of the leading base ball players of
America and is now engaged by "a
club in Brooklyn, New York. He is
also an industrious boy and assists
materially in maintains the family.
A sister was recently married in San
Francisco, and moves in the best so
ciety. An uncle is one of the most
enterprising and wide awake brokers
in San Francisco, another uncle car.
ries on a blacksmithing establish
ment. Under these circumstances
none can blame him for desiring to
keep from his mother and sister the
tragic termination of his life. A min
lister in this city stated in his pulpit
that the people Of Portland were in
part to blame for the sad fate of this
poor boy. We think different. In
early youth and boyhood he was sur
rounded by the best of influences,
taught right from wrong by Chris
tian mother, yet these were disre-
garded. He selected his own path
way, carved bis own destiny and
none this side the grave can be blafll,
ed for the result. When he came to
this city he was past teaching right
from wrong and because the people
of Portland did not take him into
their homes and pet him, they should
be blamed in no way for the final
tragedy which robbed James Taylor
Of his life.-Portland Standard.

Pendleton Independent: Our citizens are
awaking to the Importance OF being prepar-
ed should another Indian outbreak occur
next summer. Forts are being built and
militia companies being organized IN all parts
of our county, and although the prevailing
opinion is that we shall have no Indian
trouble this year, we are glad to see our Cit
izens preparing to meet an emergency should
such occur, and the experience in this diree-
ton, so dearly bought last summer, may be
of lasting benefit to our community.
Douglas Independent: Tuesday night the.
overland stage attempted to cross a slough
on Cow creek within four hundred yards of
the station, and all six horses were drowned.
Cow creek is mountain stream that doubles
its usual size in couple Of. heurs after a
heavy rain. During tho day before the
stage arrived rain had fallen in torrents,
and the water in the slough ran SO swiftly
that the ford was cut out in very short
time to the depth of fifteen or twenty feet
Into the ford the driver urged his horses
unsuspecting danger, The team had NO
more than entered the water than the hor-
ses commenced swimming, and in less ti1le
than is required to pen this fact, the stage
was dragged in, the water swept against it,
and the horses were in this way pulled down
stream and drowned. Mr.. Tice, the driver,
bravely remained with the stage until it
lodged against one of the banks of the
slough, and never left his post until the
mail and express box were recovered. For-
tunately there were no passengers on the
stage at the time. The stage coach will be
saved The mail was delayed only one day
by the accident, for as soon as the news of
the mishap became known, the stage con1e
pany, with commendable activity, proceed
ed to put on new horses and push the mails
along.
