The gentle rains descend, making the aver
age farmer somewhat blue. Some fear a
wet harvest; others rust, which by the way
has been seen on some pieces of late sown
grain; but I do not think there need be fear
of it being general, as grain in the majority
of cases is too far along to hurt.
Monroe has weekly fights it seems of late.
Two or more persons comes with the full
intent of hunting quarrel, and see who is
the best man in town on the fighting day
which is Saturday. The first place they
visit is of course the saloon. and then get
on the outside of as much whiskey as pos
sible. The next place is in some respectable
crowd, and there begin their abuse by vile
epitnets and slang, before both ladys and
gentlemen, on some poor unsuspecting per-
son, and if he does not resent it they will
be four or five, as the case may be, pelting
him promiscuously on the face and head, and
in fact most anywhere that comes handy
Our officers are sometimes on the ground
and by wild waving and fourishing Of hands
exclaim, stop that! stop that! or l will ar
rest you, stop that! stop that. or will
send you to Corvallis and have you fined,
and jailed. That will be all they can, OF
will do, towards taking the parties in Gus
tody. So Monroe had better do one Of two
things; either not be town or else have
the present officers to resign and have officers
put in their place who will keep peace, OF
at least try it, than be in hands where such
indecent thugs transpire; which insult the
better part of the community. Such things
must stop somewhere, and the sooner the
better it will be for us all.

FATAL Acc1DENT.-On last Friday, Thos.
B. Logsdon, well to do farmer and highly
respected citizen of this county, who resided
about four miles north of this city, went
into his barn, and stepping up behind one
of his farm horses, slapped it with his hand,
when the horse kicked him, striking in the
side just over the heart. Mr.. L. fell to the
ground and instantly died. Mr.. Logsdon
has lived in this neighborhood for a number
os years, and was universally respected, and
best, he was loved most. No one could
possess more kind and generous nature
and disposition than the one in whose mem
ory these lines are penned; yet his gener-
osity did not show itself in large donations
to remote possible charities, but In acts of
loving kindness to those around him. He
leaves a family who deeply mourn the loss
of loving and faithful husband and de-
voted and affectionate father. On Saturday
evening large assembly Of sorrowing neigh
bors and friends followed his remains to the
Lock cemetery, near his late residence,
where all that was mortal was laid to rest,
with the beautiful and appropriate ceremo-
nies of the Masonic fraternity, of which he
had long been an honored member. His
life work is accomplished, and he has now
solved the mysteries of the spirit world.
He was good man, and as such is mourned
by his friends,

RAILROAD RACKET.
(From The Dal.es Times,)

The lack of cars is still greatly felt at the
wharf-boat.
Vast quantities of wheat and flour are
arriving from above.
Twenty-Five cents apiece are paid for ties
in Union and Umatilla counties.
Over 100 sacks of coal arrived Monday
night for use on the new switch engines.

on their pay roll in Oregon and Washington
Territory.
The Atlas unloaded large number of ties
and sh-plates yesterday, also quantity of
railroad iron.
A large number of car axles arrived yes
terday morning, and mechanics at the car
shops will be busy hereafter.
The new Howe Truss bridge over Five
Mile Creek is nearly completed. 1t will be
erected below the old one, and a new track
laid over it.
Freight has accumulated SO fast during
the week that barges have been used in the
carrying trade.
A new timetable went into effect Sunday
at noon. Passenger trains now leave The

their work in a few days, when they will bs

Portland. The engineers have also been
busy locating the depot and switches at
that place during the week.
The Columbia Chronicle says: Track lay
ing on the Grange City road will begin next
Monday. Between seven and eight miles
win be laid at present, when the men will
be transferred to the Umatilla and Pendle-

utilize this track to carry bridge timbers
than to hire the same hauled on wagons,

CoMINe.-The celebrated Kentucky Jubi-
lee Singers will give their interesting en-
tertainment at the City Hall ON Tuesday,
August the 9th. This troupe is composed
solely of eolored people, a portion of whom
are the same persons which composed that
celebrated troupe of jubilee singers which
performed so extensively throughout the
State some two or three years ago, and
which gave universal satisfaction to all low
ers of fun wherever they performed. This
troupe comprises not only the minstrel per-
formers, but also several accomplished vo-
calists for singing songs, ballads and jubilee
songs like the Hutchinson family. Miss
Maggie Webb sings the 'Swanee river in
her usual pleasing manner. which is greatly
admired by those who have listened to her
melodious voice. It is very rarely that we
have the opportunity in this country of see
ing genuine negro troupe, and no doubt
this opportunity will be sought after and
appreciated by all.

BISHOP KAyANNAuGH's SERMoN. On
last Sabbath Bishop Kavannaugh preached
at the College Chapel in this city to large
and attentive congregation, and we think
that we speak the words of truth and So
berness when we say it was the best sermon
we have listened to for many a long day.
Although the Bishop is eighty years old yet
his mind has lost none of its original bright
ness and he brings with him the ripe schol-
arship and experience of q long life devoted
to the study of the subject upon which he
talks. His subject was 'sThe new birth, !"
and his position that with the greater por-
tion of mankind there was a constant war
between judgment and inclination. Every
proposition that he made was SO clearly
proven that all were forced to admit the
truth of his arguments.

LONG Tom MEAsUREsIENT.-Itw was Long
Tom carpenter who had contracted with a
feminine to build house and porch thereto
six feet wide. She disputed the width Of
the porch when she came to examine the
job. The unfortunate worker in wood in
vited her to take his square and measure it
to her satisfaction, but she positively de-
clined and declared that she would measure
it with well known and established length
which was exactly two widths and the near
est worn garment. So she placed herself in
position and proceeded to measure the dis
puted length, thus effectually demonstrating
to the man in wood that it was not neces-
sary or safe for her to depend on the square
for measurements.

made a short visit to the friends of Mr. q.
in the southern part of the county, but have
returned, and the smiling countenance of
Mr.. Zierof may be seen as usual at his
place of business. The GAZETTE was not
forgotten by the newly welded people, and
the editors, printers and devil all unite in
wishing the new family happy and pros
porous voyage through life. May their only
cares be such as will eventually become
blessings. May they live long and when at
mature old age surrounded by all that
makes life pleasant, may they like autumn
leaves fall to the earth. together.
