UMPQUA FERRY.

Mr.. J. r. Hecks took his departure
for parts unknown on the 18th.
Several threshers are still running.
There will be about l0-days run for
the most of them.
Mr.. Clayton has the best wheat we
have seen of the season. 1t was not
affected by any of the wheat pest in
the least. He calls it the Winter
White.
Our enterprising ex-Worthy Chief
Templar, of Cleveland Lodge /. q. G..
t., was picked up in the streets of
Looking Glass one day last week,
dead (drunk.)
The Roseburg minstrels favored
us with fine performance last Satur-
day night as announced. We give
the troupe our sincere thanks and
best wishes.
Poor "Apwer," appears very indig-
nant over the Independent gain in
this and Calapooia Precincts. His
reasons therefor are the Independents
in this and Calapooia precincts will not
notice him enough to convert him to
their belief because he is too big fool
to be ranked as an independent.
For the benefit of the community at
large / will give them brief history
of the correspondent that flashed forth
SO brilliantly, but Intellectually, from
Calapeoia last week through the col
umns of the Star. His native State
lies good many miles from here.
Upon manhood he left his parent
State, and came to Oregon. Expecting
to find country overrun with barba-
rians he supplied himself plentifully
with firearms for the purpose of de-
| Tending himself against the cannibalis-
| tic race. But 10! upon arriving here,
he found acountry inhabited by human
beings somewhat civilized! Ashamed
to go to hard work after making 80
many great calculations and contem-
plating so much upon being set up as
king or an idol upon arriving here
he set himself up, not as a king or an
idol, but as pedagogue. Soon learn
| ing that the smartest always got
these situations he took down bis
shingle in utter disgust and went to
| farming as means of sustaining life.
Somewhat fallen from his anticipa-
tions he conceived one more spark OF
hope at which he might gain honor
and renown, besides immense wealth,
and that was reporting. But all who
have seen his many painful efforts
and have seen him personally know
him to be as successful at report
ing as he has been at everything else,
q flat failure.

Passed Through.

Col. John e. Ross and party passed
through town on Wednesday on their
way to the State Fair. The Colonel
had with him some fine specimens of
Jackson county horses. One IA four
year-old Lion Heart which Measured
eighteen handsin height-in the low
est point in the back from the ground,
and which weighed 1,664 pounds. To
measure from the top of the fore
shoulder down the colt stood Is 1-2
hands high. There were in the lot two
other horses which weighed ], 400
each, of the same breed, and Ham,
bletonian stallion that showed the
points of a thorough Col. Ross
will probably sell the horses mention
ed at the State Fair for good prices.

Another Pardon.

One of our Willamette exchanges
brings US information to the effect that
Dan Clark has been pardoned from the
penitentiary by Governors Bush and
Thayer. Dan is Douglas county no.
torious, and has represented this por-
tion of the State in the penitentiary
for the past ten or twelve years. He
is, to put it mildly, a natural-born
kleptomaniac, and is noted for the
unhappy faculty of leading off from
their pastures horses not his own.
While confined within the thick walls
of the States house of punishment he
has always been struck with relig-
ious fervor, and having a good voice
he has +" laid it over the other coves "
by leading the prison choir and ex-
horting from the prison pulpit in a
manner that would put an oId-time
Baptist to blush. We hope there is
yet chance for Dan.

Caught at His Own Game.

The other day drummer known as
T. p. Spitz arrived in this city, and
announced that he intended going to
Coos Bay. With his usual politeness,
the owner of the Coos Bay Stage line
asked Spitz when he wished 10 start
that seat might be reserved for him
in the stage. Spitz named the day.
On that day the proprietor of the line
waited upon Spitz to learn if he were
ready, and Spitz anewsred in the
negative. The seat reserved was then
given to another traveller, but just the
evening before the stage started in the
morning Spitz put in an appearance
aud claimed place in the stage.
The proprietor told him that all the
seats were full, and that he must wait
until the next trip. Spitz swore aud
cursed; he had everything to say that
was mean; and the proprietor of the
line said nothing until Spitz became
extremely insulting and then Mr..
Clough sttook hand" and SHIELD
four aces . The result of the whole
business was, Mr.. Clough was arrested
at the instigation of Spitz, and fined
So and costs. Then again Mr.. Clough
held a top haud,' and had Spitz ar
rested for using obscene language.
The latter employed an attorney for
the snm of SO. The attorney was not
licensed to practice before the CITY
Recorder, and Spitz paid the license
fee. The trial began, and Spilz's face
was radiant with smiles. The evidence
against him, however, was conclu-
sive, and he was sentenced TO pay SIS
and costs-$l0 in all. SpitZ did
laugh then. He looked like a man
who In August first discovers "water-
millions is ripe.y He had not only
I" taken water,n when an opportunity
was given him to fight, but his little
fun had--worst of all to him-had
cost him the enormous sum of $25

OAKLAND ITEMS.
Weather cloudy.

Rain expected.
Mr.. Harry Cook, who has been sick
for the last fourteen days, is recover
ing rapidly, and will be soon among
his many friends.
Mr.. FL. Wilson is working faithfully
in the Sabbat ath-school, but in quite u
different sphere than our Superintend-
ents want him to.
The son of Mr.. Chase, fell and broke
the left arm, while at play. He is
doing well at present.
DIR. Zealand, of San Francisco,
came to this city to locate permanent
ly among the peaceful citizens of
Oakland.
One of our professional men has
been (Chaseli deer for the last few
weeks, and we are happy to say, that,
one morning as our friend again was
after his prey, he came suddenly upon
it, (Crouch)ing behind an object. He,
however, fired his last arrow, and
joy to the world secured his booty
(beauty.)
We noticed in the last issue of the
Western Star, among the Calipooia
items, the following: "The Umpqua
Ferry gal" Please excuse us from
quoting the very ungentiemanly lam
guage contained in the article. 1t
showed the want of intellect and ed
| ucation in the writer, and at the same
time we are surprised to see the Star
stab so low as to publish language
containing nothing, but the mot vui.
gar expressions to he found ia the
English language. AS long as We
have known Umpqua George, we have
| found him at all times a gentleman o
the first water. Therefore, the slaDdel
language used, will not affect hii
good reputation in the least by al
who know him.
