Marriage Ceremony.
T. w. DAVENPORT.

On Sunday evening, October 2Sth,
at the residence of John Cox, Esq, in
Rosebufg, Mr.. A. T. ireland and Miss
.Adell Wiley were united in marriage.
A large number of invited guests,
friends Of the bride and groom, were
present to witness the ceremony, which
was performed by the Rev. John How
ard, who, in his usual happy style,
spoke the words which made the twain
one for all time; after which cake and
wine were passed to the assembled COM
pany and all made merry. The newly
welded pair then retired to the house
of w. G. Woodward, which the groom
had rented and furnished neatly, in
which to commence the relations of
married life and to seek repose from the
happy ordeal they had passed through.
Just as they were about to retire to
slumber their quiet was broken by the
melodious sounds of music, disooursed
from about fifty improyised instru
ments collected for the occasion, such
as harps, flutes, tin cans, horns and the
proverbial horse fiddle. The bride and
groom made their appearance and ac
knowledged the compliment of the ser
enade and provided refreshments fol
the assembly, when they were left tt
enjoy the quiet of their abode, with
their slunlbers undisturbed. We too
leave them with our best wishes for
long and prosperous life Of unalloyet
married bliss

a Letter From Johnny.

The following interesting letter was
received just before going to press, from
one of the country districts. From the
writing and spelling we judge it is the
composition of very little boy.
This is fine wether it looks like rain.
the last time it rsined is made the roads
muddy. Pa wont take out the new
hack and Ma has 10 stay at home when
Pa gees to town. Ma gets even on Pa
for not taking out the hack so that she
can SO to town too, by talking to the
hired man when he comes into dinner
and he dent git as much plowing done
as Pa thinks he ought to. Pa come
heme about the middle Of the afternoon
one day last week aud John was just
hitcning up the horses to go to plowing.
You bet Pa was mad! I think Ma
ought to go to town whenever Pa does.
don't you thinkso too, Mr.. Independent
Ma wanted to go to town ts get new
chignon. A chignon is thing made
out ef hair that Ma wears on the top OF
her head, with crooked hair pulled down
over her face that make her lock like

News Summary.

The Mechanics Fair closed on the
night Of tho 9th of October.
j. Bachman L. Bro, merchants of
Portland, failed last week. Liabilities
about $4,000 and no assets to pay
with.
Ben. Holladay. of railroad fame, has
brought suit against his brother Joe in
the Circuit court of Multnomah coun
ty, to recover a large amount of real
property which he decided to him at the
time his financial affairs became en-
barrassed. The consideration for the
deed was 100000. The property is
now worth 100000. Ben. claims
the deed was intended as a mortgage.
During the transfer of the insane
from East Portland to the asylum ct
Salem, John Ryan escaped from the
keepers. He was found the next day
and taken charge of by the sheriff of
Multnomah county. The sheriff soon
after received dispatch from Salem
saying that after arriving and getting
settled down in the new asylum they
had missed Ryan. It would appear
from this that the unfortunatcs are not
cared for as they should be and indi-
Gates that this branch of the public
service needs looking after.

of her recovery.
Smith, the convict who struck Warden
Collins during the recent prison escape has
had the death sentence pronounced upon
him. He is quite ysung man and was shot
by the guard at the time in the arm, which
has since been amputated. The execution
was put off until December. to allow his at
torneys to present the case to the Supreme
court. We have no quarrel with law that
makes the offsnse of capital crime to assault
a guard of the prison with dangerous
weapon. But it seems unjust to make an
example of this crippled boy, who is mere
youth, and let the old, hardened criminals
who planned the outbreak, go without pun
ishment.

The glossy plumaged, swift flying
martens took their departure from local
haunts on Saturday night, and not one
of those twittering residents of the
bird-houses are now to be found within
our borders. Last year they departed
about three days later. Whether COM
ing or going they maintain marked
regularity, seldom varying the date of
their departure or arrival a week.
Those who provide homes for these
birds find much pleasure in studying
their habits. One gentleman who has
carefully watched them for some years
assures us that bird inspectors arrive
some days in advance of the flock,
about the 10th of April in each year,
and after examining his premises
a day depart, always lying in north
easterly direction. The birds next APP
pear en- masse and Immediately take up
their quarters. Before the birds will
accept house, he says, ratings will
have to be built to secure the young
birds against the danger of falling out.
The birds will not occupy house which
endangers the lives of their young,
and in this show better judgment than
many human beings. In wild state
they build in trees like the bluebird.-

THE LITTLE QUAKERESS.

Brown-eyed Ruth, the Quaker's daughter,
In her dress of simple gray,
Walked beside her quiet grandpa
Mid the garden flowers of May.
Beds of tulips bright and golden,
Hyacinths of every shade
Pansies, like sweet childish faces
n Looking up to greet the maid.
How they revel in the sunshine,
While mid clumps of violets blue
Filling all the air with fragrance,
Glistened still the morning dew.
Then outspoke the little maiden,
Looking at her dress of gray
"Grandpa, can thee tell the reason
Why God made the flowers so gay,
"While we wear the quiet colors
That thee knows we never meet
Fen in clover or the daisies
That we trample under feet?
"Seems to me Quaker garden
Should not grow such colors bright"
ROguishly the brown eyes twinkled,
While her grandpa laughed outright.
'True it is, my little daughter
Flowers wear not the Quaker gray;
But they neither toll nor labor
For their beautiful array.
"Feeling neither pride nor envy,
Mong their sister flowers, thee knows.
Well content to be daisy,
Or tall and queenly rose.
Excepting still the same old fashions
OF their grandmothers of yore:
Else how should we know the flowers
IT each spring new tints they bore?
"Even 30 the Quaker maiden
~ Should be all content to-day,
AS tulip or pansy,
In her dress OF SIMPLE gray"
Once again the brown eyes twinkled;
''Grandpa, thee is always right
So thee sees, by thy own showing,
Some may dress in colors bright.
"Those whom thee calls worldly people,
In their purple and their gold.
Are no gayer than these pansies
Or their grandmothers Of old.
yet thee knows am contented
With this quiet life of ours,
Still, for all, I'm glad, dear grandpa.
That there are no Quaker flowers"
The Record.
