at Yarmouth.
Yesterday was a red letter day for the Cath
olcs of Yarmouth, as at last their long-wished
for expectations were realized of having a
church wherein they might pay due homage
to the Almighty. On this JOYOUS occasion the
ceremony of dedcating this church forever to
the service of God was performed by Rev. D.
M. Bradley, assisted by Rev. Father Maddin
After the dedicatory services High Mass was
celebrated by Father Maddin. After the first
Gospel, Rev. Father Bradley preached an elo-
quent and impressive discourse appropriate to
the occasion. He commenced by saying that
he fell sorry that the Rt. Rev. Bishop was pre-
vented from being present on account of the
death of his sister, which occurred a few days
since in Montreal. He said Bishop Healy
would take special interest in being present
inasmuch as this was the first church in the
Diocese dedicated to the SacredHeart of Jesus,
devotion to which the Bishop bears such a
strong attachment. The church was filled to
its utmost capacity by a devout congregation,
many of them being from Portland. Miss
Mary Seaman presided at the organ with much
skill. The following members of the Cathe-
dral choir were present who rendered very
excellent music: Misses Burns, Tobin, Brown
and McCallum, Messrs Mccain, McGonnagle
| and Haverty

gard to any office, fear, or favor from friend or

as 1 can, and allow the people the right to crit
iciSe if they wish Gentlemen for q Greenback-

servant, CHARLES A. WHITE.
Lost on the Mountain.
George Fawcett Rowe of New York, the
playwright, Harry Edwards of the Boston
Theatre and Walter A Adams, son of the gen.
eral superintendent oftke Fitchburg Railroad,
came near having a serious time, in their visit
to Mount Washington on Friday. They made
the ascent by the railway track, in the fore
part of the day. After dinner, they set out for
Crawford Notch, by the old bride path. In
leaving the summit, they lost their way, and
started down the cone of the mountain, in a
straight line toward the Lake of the Clouds.
Mr.. Edwards stepped on rolling stone, and
plunged headlong down the mountain He hit
his knee, and fell head-downward between two
great rocks The crown of his hat was cut en-
tirely off, and one of his legs seriously bruised.
After getting up he started down the noun
tain, but his leg was so seriously hurt that it
was with difficulty he could walk. He then
followed the old bride path, but night over
took them in the woods ON Mount Clinton.
The party not coming to the Crawford House,
guides were sent out to rescue them After a
long search they were found and piloted down
the remaining distance, arriving at the Craw-
ford House at 10 o'clock at night having been
nearly eight hours walking nine miles. The
party is at the Mount Pleasant House, and Mr..
Edwards is suffering from his injuries.

/" PLEXUS /" AGAIN.

ED. GAZETTE: It has been two weeks
since my old wife, Sarah Plexus, dedicated
a few touching lines, by way of remem-
brance, to Wilhelmina A. Wells, in the
Blade AIMS system must be in very
constipated condition, as the specifics pre-
scribed by my wife, in the shape of a KNAPP
sack full of double compound carbonized
catharties, is :. sarching /" medicine, and
ought certainly to bring about motion on
the part of Ann. At least, she should have
an eruption of quotation marks and such, or
or diarrhea of Junius or Sir VIM. Draper,
etc. Perhaps the printer failed to notice
the quotation marks in AIMS manuscript
properly or she would never have been
placed in such uncomfortable proximity to
one who has stolen goods in his possession.
Mr. Editor, submit this query Can such
reformer have remorse or conscience, or is
she only the possessor of a gizzard Had
Sarah Plexus but considered physiognomy
before writing under the influence of Jun
ius, she would have seen that phrenology
had been libelled, and hence her ladyship
was in no manner accountable either for lar
ceny of the dead or the living A sexual
mistake is the worst blight in all nature.
This painful thought overwhelms me, and
must pass to my family. I'm truly proud
of it, and my eyes brighten. The dear old
partner of my life is whole team when
she scents carrion afar off. Plexus Jr. is
busily engaged in our fall work, and will
not be able to write again until after the
throng is over. That boy is bright in sor-
cery and divination, and can drink in a re-
former by her scar marks. In his dlagno-
sis of Ann Wells he has concluded the ear
marks indicate another kind of an animal.
My daughter Jane told the old woman this
morning that she would write few lines
shortly if her mothers. carthartic prescrip-
tion moved Wilhelmina Ann properly.
counter-irritant or specific sometimes checks
the fever of patient and reduces>the pulse.
I remarked to jamie that the .'usufruct lea
ven had connected with the bile on the pit
of AIMS stomach, that the cathartics would
| work and that gangrened corruption would
fly. 1t may take time but sooner or later
those allopathic ..yerbs are destined to
bring an answer. Wilhelmina has been in a
gentle perspiration for the last ten days
breathes heavily-is nervous and fdgity,
with flushed cheek and shrunken neck-ap-
pears morose and avoids sunshine and COM
pany-the s'black melancholy oyerwhelms
her; all of which are unerring symptoms of
great internal revolution, the result of that
medicine. The probabilities are that her
gangrenous corruption may appear under
nom de plume. In fact, should she appear
again in print under her genuine signature,
w. A. Wells, the universal acclaim would
be, 6 there is the weather-beaten and tenn
pest-tossed Wilhelmina in print, who de-
spoiled the graves of Junius and Draper,
and appeared in the GAZETTE with the stol-
Ell goods on her back" Please dear Ann,
do part your hair in the middle, and your
constituency will recognize you more read

ANSWER TO EUREKA.

Ed. GAZETTE: read an article in your
last issue signed Eureka" which demands
my attention for a few moments. Some in
dividual has seen proper to make structures
on an imaginary trinity composed of Judge
Burnett, Mr.. Yantis and myself; together
with reflections on Mr.. Henry Keesee. This
" Eureka" says: "He picks up the gaunt-
let in defense of Mr.. Wells" He needs no
defense at the hands of Eureka, so far as I
am concerned. ] have known Mr.. Wells
individually for a long time and esteem him
a gentleman in every respect. have never
directly or indirectly at any time and
from my knowledge of Mr.. Wells suppose
it would give him no uneasiness even, if
had. MIR. Wells is able to stand before the
people of Benton county without either let
or hinderance from Eureka" He needs
not the Intervention of such champion.
There are three or four matters incidently
mentioned by Eureka, that will notice in
the order they appeared in the GAZETTE
lst. Eureka thinks the community are
interested in my political record, and reas-
ons, that because my brother-in-law is q
"stalwart" that, therefore, should be the
same now, or must have been when I came
to Oregon. You are mistaken, ssEureka;"
my relations did not come to Oregon when 1
did The first political vote ever cast was
in Hopewell Township, Vast county, Penn,
in 1872. / was the Democratic clerk of
election, and was one of the 81 Democrats
in the township. The Republicans had 100
majority. There were fools there just like
" Eureka, who thought l ought to vote
Republican because I was unfortunate
enough to have relations who did, and for
the additional reason, that should vote on
the strong side. It's true was an Inde-
pendent in 1874, and supported the ticket,
as did many of the Democrats in Benton
county. From 1876 to 1873 my Democracy
was supposed to be sufficiently sound, to be
honored with the Democratic chairmanship
of this county. It is also true that the
Greenbackers nominated me. in full view of
the fact that was the nominee of the Dem
ocrats. This is very easily explained. The
greater part of the persons who composed
the Greenback Convention were personal
friends of mine-they were the Independ-
ent's of 1874. Mr.. Wells was among them.
They nominated me because they had no.
candidate of their own and for the further
reason, that was less Objectionable in their
opinion, than the other candidate. Iresents
g Eureka's" imputation on the Greenbacks
Convention, as slur and an outrage nthe i
men who composed it.. " They led and told:
