These are happy scIlool-boy days.
The school of this neighborhood re.
ceived a very bountiful treat Of can
dy, by the neighbors, through the
kindness Of George NJ. Nease. Our
teacher positively refused to treat
his school, whereupon the neighbors
and scholars appropriated the money.
We do not think it much to treat a
school, when we pay our teachers for
four days more than they serye ns;but
you may be sure that we do not re.
spect such stinginess. We shall re.
member him in cur ballots hereafter.
Some time ago we noticed that your
correspondent, Mr.. B. Janton had
very mysteriously disappeared; he
has been discovered by the name of
Gustavus, or our school-master. He
would not allow the treat to be dis
tributed during school hours. He
could not stand the scene, and stalk.

Mr.. Easor viii you allow me,
through your paper, to return thanks
to the good people of Pleasant Flats
for the gifts received through Messrs.
Musgrave and Windon, on Monday.
We pray for Gods blessing to rest
not only them but upon the others
who have likewise contributed to
our temporal wants.
Respectfully,

UPPER FLATS Transforming to
the extreme cold weather, the most
of our time was spent by the fire.
The young people enjoyed them
selves very well. There were three
social parties in this vicinity, as fol-
lows: one at Mr.. Gilbert McMillen's,
another at L. Richards; the third at
G. W, Roush's. We are informed
that there was a social dinner at Mr.,
William Gray's, ST.; many friends
we're there.
This community has been visited
with the hand Of death, Mr.. Philip
Roush, Jr, on last Monday departed
this life. He was about q years old.
We tender our heartfelt sympathies
to the friends Of the deceased, in
their sad bereavement.

TooTHsoME HlNTS.-It is natural for some
people to have better teeth than others, but
all must give attention to their cleansing and
other treatment if they would have good
teeth in old age. A moderately stiff brush
should he used thoroughly at least twice a
a day-morning and night. Soft water
blood -warm) and mere taste OF the best
soap-white CASTLE, for instance-are the
only requisites besides the brush. Powders
are generally injurious to the enamel. and 50
are the much advertised liquid mixtures.
Strong acids. like lemon-juice, are d'struct-
ive and the minsipg Of hot and cold food or
drink at meals is very harmful Use, how
ever, of hard, nutrious food, like well-baked
Graham bread and crackers, promotes tooth
growth; while soft, watery food tends to
weaken the teeth. 1t is now the opinion OF
leading dentists in Europe and this country
that the reason there is Sd much tooth decay
in early life, is in large degree owing to the
soft materials given to children as food, which
are swallowed with scarcely any chewing
Ga the appearance of decay dentist should
be employed Much teothache Is due TO IN
d gestion and constitutional debility, and
much so-called neuralgia" may be traced
20 decayed, cariors teeth. Care n the mat
ter Of d ct, and Watchfulness with regard to
the condition of the teeth, would save peo-
pie . vas, deal ef suffering and expense.

Lieut.. Farrow's command Of 2lst Infantry,
from Big creek, arrived Oh the South Fork
two davs ago. The scouts under Lieut.. +.
were loaded down with trophies, and had a
large herd of horses captured by him from
the Sheepeaters. Farrow is the only one
who has yet hurt the Indians. He fought
them where Lieut.. Galley found them, chased
them two days and nights. and captured all
their horses, mules blankets, four salmon.

when he was surprised Bernard has gone

and alter rustling around bought enough
horses and mules tn mount his men, and 10
GONG up the E.st Fork right away. he Is
the man for US, and when he comes in again
we know he will bring some seal ps with him.
He understands Indian hunting, is careful,
and makes good every opportunity. he shot
81 Of his horses that gave out while he was
putting in here for rations 1t IS pity ra-
tons were not sent to him as expected, TOR
he was compelled to come back here when
4" had the whole Indian outfit demOralized
in fruat of him. The blow struck by Lieut..
Farrow will surprise the siwashes and keep
them hid out Of the settlements. Farrow is
a gentleman, and one Of the best and most
energetic young officers Howard has with
him. He as had eopd experience when
campaigning with Howard. II Gen Howard
will leave him and some Of his scouts here
We will fear no trouble Farrow says his 20
men can whip them under any circumStan-
ces, and only wants chance. Now that the
Sheepeaters are on foot and destitute We fear
nothing from them.
So far the Umatilla command deserves the
credit, and We only want chance to show
our appreciation. Thanks to Gen. Howard
for his promptness, and to Farrow for his
energy and achievements.

L "llappy Family"

The other evening at . o clock a policeman
found a family of five persons and two old
trunks nnder shed near the foot of Second
street, waiting to go up the river on a wood
barge, which wouid't leave until the next
forenoon The man had both hands pressed
to his face, the woman was wiping her eyes
on a handkerchief, and all the children wero
squalling.
"What seems to be the matter ;" inquired
the officer, as he halted among them.
"0h, nothing much" answered the man.
I've got the jumpin' tOothache, but it aiius

"What ails your wife,"
"0h. she's kinder tired out and nervous,
but as soon rs she gets good rest for her
back agin the wood-pile, she'll go to sleep
and forget all about it. She's all right, she
is"
.'But the children is crying" continued
the officer.
.Yaas, kinder crying" replied the man.
''but that's nothing. That boy Augustus
Caesar wants a stick of gum, but he'll soon

Cur Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. Il, Is

w AShlNOION, ~ u, Ccpt- 1osS-
EDITOR STATEsMAN:-Th entire radical
press is complaining of the aoqulttal of
Gully, of the murder of Cornelia CHS
holm. The entire republican press may
be right, bnt the subject should be con-
sidered fairly Ten. Woodward, of New
York, who attended the trial for the pur-
pose of observing it, says that all the
laws were adhered TO, that the jury was
fairly and impartially drawn, and that the
Judge, if partial at all, leaned to the
side of the prosecution, and ruled against
the accused. With these facts it is al
legged that the verdict was against the law
and the evidence. This, as every one
will see, is merely difference Of opinion
between the jury who tried Gully. and
some other persons, such as occur IN every
in all criminal trials everywhere in which
the public take much interest. The effort
to make political capital out of this trial
in Mississippi is as ridiculous as ths same
effort would be over like trial in Massa-
chusetts- The administration by erimi-
nal courts should be exempt from all
political influences, of course, and 1t Is as
much for the interest of one party as
another, to make it so.
Jefferson Davis has Just written letter
in which he declines to be candidate for
United States senator from Mississippi.
He does not say positively that he will
not accept it if elected,
Washington is to have fair grounds and
a race course unexcelled oy any in the
country. All the arrangements may not
be completed this season, but by the tall
of 1880 they viii be. Before the civil
war, this was in sOms sense a racing
center, and the best horses in the country
came here. simply because here was the
capital to ran or trOt on what vas cer-
tainly an inferior track. Nov the whole
district is engaged IL an effort TO secure
not only race course equal to any, but
suitable grounds for such annual fairs as
are held elsewhere There is every as
surance of success Texas, Maine, Min
nesota, South Carolina, na,-every section OF
the eountry-will yet send its stock and
agricultural products to this city for eIhi-

Nov as between Tammany secretly

latter. Even the New York Times has to
concede the probability of many thousands
of republican votes for Robinson on the
account of the ayowed hostility of the

returned to their respective posts for winter
quarters. except Lieut.. Farrow with hu
umatillas. Colonel Bernard had already

Keever with his company passed here en- route
for Mount idaho on the 18th, and Captain
Forse and Lieut.. Galley on the l4th. Tho
campaign is therefore ended. unless Farrow
aecomplishes something. 1t is difficult to
criticise an affair so disgracefully conducted
and terminated.
Lieut.. Farrow proceeded from Frank
Smiths place on the South Fork to the Rains

and killed or disabled and some horses
strayed of. but nothing serious. 1t was his

"IT was in the China seas" said
weather-beaten old tar Zone of the men
had got so badly hurt by fall that he died
the next morning. We sewed ham up IN his
hammock, put couple of shot to his heels,
laid him on plank, and stood around the
gangway waiting for the captain to read the
funeral service before sliding him overheard.
But the captain didn't come, somehow, and
so Bill Buxton, who was bOssen that voyage,
and who was lost the next year when the
Emerald went down. he just steps up, lays
his hand on the body. and said he:
Ashes to ashes, dust TO dust,
If God won't have you, the devil must,
and with that he gave the plank tip. the
poor fellow slid into the water, and that vas
all. The captain felt pretty bad about it.
and had us all piped aft to hear the funeral
service read that afternoon, but somehow il
seemed to NE as though it was too late to do
any good.
