Death Of Ohe Barhee.

After a lingering illness of about a
year, O. T. Barbee died at the resi-
dence of Mr.. FL. T. Dawson, IN the
18th district, Monday morning. Mr..
Barbee was at one time resident of
Lebanon, where he had many warm
friends. He was man of sterling
worth and probity, and his amiable
temperament and unvarying geniality
made him a general favorite. He was
buried Monday afternoon by the How
ard Reserves, of which company he
was the color sergeant. =
We clip the above sad announcement
from the Lebanon Herald. Mr.. 0. T,
Barbee was the brother of Rev. j. T.
Barbee, well known in this community.
The deceased WAS once student at
this place, and boarded with us for sew
eral months. He was a nice young
man and highly esteemed by all his ac-
quaintances. We are sorry to hear
of his death.

Orange blossoms.

Mr.. John S. Burroughs, of this place,
was united in marriage to Miss Claudia
Jones, of Woodbury., at the residence
of the brides parents, Thursday even
ing, Dec. l4th, 1882, at one o'clock.
The ceremony, which was one Of the
most beautiful and impressive we have
ever heard, was performed by Rev
r. j Craig, in a very earnest and
feeling manner.
A number OF friends of the parties
were present on the occasion to witness
the tying of the nuptial knot, and to
wish the happy couple life's fullest
measure of connubial bliss.
1t is seldom we have seen happier
looking groom or lovelier bride, and
we sincerely hope the love-light which
shines so brightly in this the early
morning of their wedlock, may illu-
mine their pathway through long
and useful life, replete with bright hopes
and joyful realizations, and shed its
beautiful halo around them as they
pass into the mists of eternity.
On the night before the wedding,
there was reception at the home Of
the bride, at which was gathered a
goodly number of Woodbury's hand
some and gallant beaux, and fair and
lovely bellies, together with several
friends from McMinnville, among
whom scribe of the STANDARD was
numbered. After few hours most
delightfully."- spent in social converse
supper was announced and oh, whar
a feast The table was ladened with
every delicacy the heart could wish
and right royalty were they enjoyed by
all present. The entire evening wa
productive of great pleasure, and hap
happiness beamed in every eye.

The New Combined Letter and
Envelope,

By the middle of january the Enrich
invention will be on sale at the princi-
pal pOstofices in the country IN the
shape of a letter sheet and envelope
and stamp all for three cents and
circular letter and envelope and stamp
tor one cent, adding cost of paper. The
unstamped article will find its way into
the public market through the station
airy world. This is return to the
simplicity of correspondence as it was
before envelopes were invented, with
out returning to the advantages of seal.
ing-wax, tapers and waters. The
large letter sheet is manufactured
with gummed flaps, which, when the
sheet is folded, lap over the two open
edges and secure the missive. The
government stamp is to be embossed
on one of these flaps which comes over
like the flap of an envelope, and the
whole thing is licked, stamped and
sealed with the same motion. This
brings the stamp where the old wafer
snd seal used to be used, instead of be.
ing on the upper right hand corner as
at present. The postmaster will not
be compelled to apply the cancellation
stamps as the latter cannot be opened
nor the embossed stamp removed with
out destroying the stamp.

------
MAIL ARRANGEMENT,

The new contractors on several Of
the routes have seen fit to take their
contracts at SO low figure that they
find themselves unable to either sublet
their contracts at the price for which
they have taken them, nor can they
perform the service themselves, the
consequence Of which is the mail SER
vice is either very defective or there is
none at all. In the case of the daily
mail between this and Mt. Idaho, the
contractor utterly failed to put ON the
service, and the post master temporar-
lily contracted to have the service per-
formed at the price for which the old
contractor had taken it, AMI telegraph
ed to Washington the fact, and re-
ccived an answer that the price could
not be paid, and tho party perform
ing the same was duly notified, where,
upon be threw up the service, and up
to tho present time no one stands
ready to perform it, and the mails re-
main in the Lewiston Office. The dali
ly mail between here and Dayton has
been coming in several hours behind
time and causing the post master to be
up late nights, besides giving no chance
for citizens to obtain their letters, SO
as to answer them without remaining
up till late hour at night, although
the roads have been in as good condi-
ton as they ever were, and no impe,
diment has existed on that account.
The service in other directions from
this place is far from what it should
be. This has all arisen from persons
taking these contracts who knew not
the cost of the service, but who were
so eager to obtain the contracts that
they were reckless in fixing the price.
These are matters entirely adverse to
the:interest of the people who prize their
mail facilities above all else furnished
them by the government, and are matters
which demand tho prompt attention of
tho postal agent or some other person
who may have authority to regulate
them. Will this state Of things long
lemain?
