DROWNED IN LEWIS RvER.-On Sunday
a Geographic dispatch was received in this
city for his sister, announcing the death by
drowning in the north fork of Lewis river Of
Albert Bonser, fireman ON the steamer
Latona The boat had just taken on lot
of hay, and it is supposed Bonser went to
take in the stern line, and was next seen
by some one swimming in the water. The
steamer was stopped and boat lowered,
but not in time to reach him. His body
was recovered an hour and half afterwards,
and was sent to friends in Columbia City,
where he was buried on Tuesday. He was
a young man highly respected by all who
knew him, and his sudden death has created
a sensation Of surprise and great regret
among them all on Lewis river.

THE MINsrRELs The visit of the Oak
Grove Ministries to Oregon City is kindly
spoken of by the Oregon City Enterprise,
which says: "The members of the 2lst In
fantry band that have been with us couple
of days are credit to the uniform they
wear. People usually imagine that soldiers
are rough, drunken, swearing lot OF men,
but these infantrymen have proven such is
not the case. They are sober, well behaved
gentlemanly fellows. The minstrel show
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings was one
of the best things of the season. The boys
in blue have many friends here and are al
ways welcomed"

a MEAN ACT-On Friday night some
person too mean and too despicable to wear
the lowest epithet ever applied to a human
being, took down the street lamp from the
front of Sohns & Schuele's store, tore the
lamp from its fastening, and made way with
it. In common with several of our mer
chants this firm, at their own expense, keep
street lamp burning nearly all night, for
the accommodation OF the public. The per-
son who abuses generosity OF this kind de-
serves to have his neck stretched mile long
with hemp.

FELL AMONG THIEvEs-Last Saturday
night man whose name we failed to learn
arrived in town from the country, bound for
the railroads to obtain work. During Sun
day he imbibed sufficiently to become both
happy and partially oblivious. While in
this state he accepted an invitation from
two soldiers to visit the barracks, going off
arm in arm with his new. found friends.
The next thing he knew he awoke, sober, in
some out of the way place, his pockets
empty, and his money all gone He went
his way on Monday, as he intended, but he
knew more, by a large majority, than he
expected to when he came to town.

BORN.
In Vancouver, March I, 1850, to the wife OF
Herman Lottman a daughter.
DIED.

Near Vancouver, Feb. -, 1850, Jennie f.,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Orson Seward, aged
Il years 10 months and 81 days.
Jennie was a favorite at home and in school,
and an intelligent amiable girl. The follow
ing little poem which she had selected for
herself to recitc at a school exhibition to have
taken place a Few days after she took ill.,
shows quite clearly she was religious;
4 giddy lamb one afternoon
Had from the fold departed
The tender shepherd missed it soon
And sought it broken hearted:
Not all the flock, that shared his love
Could from the search delay him,
No clouds of midnight darkness move,
Nor fear of suttcrings stay him.
But night and day he went his way
In sorrow till he found it;
And when he saw it fainting lie,
lie clasped his arms about it;
And closely sheltered in his breast,
From every i'll to save it,
He brought it to his home to rest,
And pitied and forgaye it.
Aud so the Saviour will receive
The little ones that fear him;
Their pains remove, their sins forgive,
And draw them gently near him
Bless while they live, and when they die
When soul and body sever
Conduct them to his home on high,
To dwell with him forever.
Those beautiful lines expressed her relig-
ious creed She had learned of the Saviour
in the Sunday school. She was one of the
Saviour's little lambs. He had sought her in
tenderness and love- and found her. Calling
TO see her one day during her illness she said
to me: 80 wish the Lord would come and
take me away to heaven, have suffered so
much. Do you think he will come today
And her pleading look showed her deep de-
sire. II do not know whether he will come
to-day. But think he will come soon-may
be before tomorrow morning" She asked
the question over and over again Of different
ones. and seemed to grow impatient waiting.
He did not come that day, nor the next, nor
the next, but on the 18th he came, to
Conduct her to his home on high,
To dwell with Him forever.
We of the Methodist Sunday school feel
humbled, so many of our children have died
in the last year. May the Lord be merciful
and leave the children until we may lead
them all to the saviour. MARTIN JUDY.

ANCIENT ORDER UNITED WoRKINGMEN.-
Many persons who have not investigated
the merits of this order suppose it to be the
same us the so-called ,"Workingmen's Asso-
citation" Nothing can be more erroneous
than such an idea. The Ancient Order of
United Workingmen embraces in its men,
bership men of every vocation, profession
and occupation. 1t has no connection with
any sect, political party or organization for
eifecting the price of labor, but is designed
to promote fraternity, mental and social i'm
provement, and mutual assistance Its most
distinctive feature is what is called the
Beneficiary Fund.-" carefully devised,
well guarded, economical and beneficial sys-
tenn, by means of which the sum of $1,000
is secured to each members family, or such
person as he may choose to designate, after
the members DEATH The lodge in this city
contains number of our best citizens, and
they invite the attention of all persons who
wish to insure their lives to the great adj
vantages of this system.

AN UNNECESSARY SCARE.-It is the easiest
matter in the world to get up an excitement
in this city on the smallest amount of CAPT
tai possible An order came to Vancouver
barracks Friday commanding 100 men to re-
port i'll San Francisco. Saturday morning
this became known on the streets here and
the owners of a few bulletin boards re-
ported the thrilling information that the
troops were ordered to the Bay city to assist
in quelling sand lot riots And then every
body knew all about it, Kalloch was assas-
sinated, Coleman was murdered, all the way
from 100 to 300 white men and 200 to 600
Cinnamon killed, and other equally truthful
and pleasant stories circulated Everything
concerning the movements of San Francisco
sand lotters has been published in the Ore
gonian, and nothing, so far, indicates any
necessity for troops. The 100 men, accom-
panied by Majors Downey and Boyle, Lieuts
Rheem, Eltonhead and Shofner, left on the
Oregon Tuesday morning, in obedience to
orders as have often been received before.
The upshot is that there has been no blood
she'd in San Francisco, but great deal Of
lying in Portland. -Oyegonidn.
