A fine audience greeted Mr.. NJ. B.
Curtis at the theater last night, and a
more mirth provoking illustration Of
a travelling drummer than "Saml Of
Posen," as illustrated by him, could
not be imagined. There is
more genuine fun in "Sam'l of
Posen" than in any sin
gle ~portraiture seen here this sea.
son, Mr.. Curtis has improved very
much since his last visit, and he has
added to bis famo by bis exceedingly
clever caricature in all the cities Of
the country where he has appeared.
He has a first class supporting troupe,
the most conspicuous being Miss Ada
Boshells in her lively rendition Of
Rcbecca, and Miss Albina De Mer
in a French dialect part
under the name of Mile. Celeste. The
latter made a great hit. The first act
Of the play is in a jewelry store, the
second in the private Office Of the
same, the third in Oeleste's Clubhouse
and the fourth in a pawn shop. These
afford ample opportunity for an illus
tration of life in its most varied
phases. The play will be repeated to-
night.
The Galley Slave.
The Galley Slave Combination is TO
be here on the 9th Of next month. In
the troupe are Mr.. Frank Evans, Mr..
Junius Brutus Booth and Miss Gussie
DeForrest-all well known to our
community. The troupe carry their
own scenery, and arc thus enabled to
present the spectacular features o.
their drama. Mr.. George Miller, The
manager of the company, is now il
the city perfecting arrangements fol
the appearance of the company.

Moscow, I. T., June 20, 1881.
Ed. TELLER.-The leading excite
ment in our quiet burg for the past
few days has been caused by the eact
that the "Mount Pleasant Baptist As
ISOLATION" has been holding its regular
annual meeting with us; and several
hundred strangers have been stopping
with US in consequence The meetings
were commenced on Thursday of last
week, and this Monday forenoon was
when they got through, and not one
of the vast number in attendance but
is prepared to pronounce it decided
success. Rev. S. E. Stearns presided,
and to pronounce his exercise Of church
authority as success, is simply to state
what every person who ever saw him
hold "justice court" in Four Mile Pre-
cinc', would know without telling
Father Stearns held them t, the pro.
positions of the occasion gently, but
firmly. Rev. A. NJ. Russell, of Day
ton, acted as secretary of the business
part Of the meeting, and Rev. d. j.
Pierce, of Walla Walla, seemed to fig
ure as the one who knew the most and
could tell it the best. Religion was.
Of course the prime moving incentive;
but yet they didn't neglect the finan-
ces Ivy no manner Of means; on the
contrary, they took up between 400
and $500, to 50 into the church mis-
sionary fund and the Baptist College
at McMinville, Or, will have more
than 5000 extra cash by reason of this
annual gathering of the Bretheren.-
True, this larger sum that goes to the
missionaries, is to he increased two
hundred per cent. by the association,
and then paid out to build churches
and support preachers for the district
that gave it; bu. that doesn't detract
from the credit due the givers, because
it all goes to the Lord.
Of matters spiritual, out not righte
Gus, the only thing now is Sam Den
ny's saloon; but that is considerable
especially when viewed from Sans
standpoint. And it is a pretty nice
place; roomy, neatly painted and pre-
sided over by the boss with less dig.
nifty, perhaps, than Father Stearns used
in governing the church dignitaries;
but then you know Sam gets better
paid for his services.

them, think of nothing necessary to
mention other than that crops are look

everybody is in good heart. Hoping

CRoPs-AND GRAssHofPERs. took a
stroll through Tammany Hollow on Mon
day, where grasshoppers had been reported
as appearing in great numbers. We found
very many small ones, but saw no evidences
of their yet having done any damage to the
crops. They remain in the grass which
seems to be abundant for their supply.
Winter grain generally is well advanced and
will soon be beyond their reach, and we
very much doubt that they will ever great
ly damage the Spring grain of this season.
If the late rains had not fallen, they posi-.
BILE might have done some damage to the
crops. Everything now gives prospect that
the country west of the reservation and
north of Craigs mountain will yield largely
in grain the present season.
