The other night some of the boys
rubbed their heads together and put
up a job on an unsuspecting mer-
chant, on Howard street, who wOOes
the drowsy god in a room connected
with the rear Of his store. At a late
hour they collected in the flower
garden of the said trader, where
empty tin cans, boxes and rubbish
bloom in all their loveliness, and at
tached a cow bell to the side of the
house and moving to a healthy dis
tance beyond the reach Of old boots
and other missiles, proceeded to play
lively solo. Directly the ghostly
habited form Of the victim appeared
in the door way, swinging an empty
bottle and parading a scowl of ven
gence, while in the most pathetically
persuasive voice he checked off such
remarks as "Oush, you BRUTE" "git
out, you beast" and similar coaxing
expressions, all the while standing
where the soft zephyrs played about
his exposed limbs, and woefuI-
ly tapped his thin raiment,
in an attitude ready to make
an attack as soon as the sup
pose animal got up sufficient cour-
age to make movement and ex-
posed her whereabouts. Tiring of
his vigIls he again retired, but
before he had fairly settled in his
nest that bloody bell commenced its
intOnatiOns, more energetically than
before. He popped out so suddenly
that the boys failed to close down on
the music in time, and he at once got
on 10 the racket. He spoiled further
proceedings by tossing the bell so far
that the crowd was not able to find
It when they returned from the live
ly trip they made down the street
after the discovery. II this practical
joking does not cease we will be
under the painful necessity Of writ
ing up an obituary notice for some
one before long,

CORREsPONDENCE.

HERON SIDING, Aug. 7, lSS3-We
had a first-class sensation here a day
or so ago. A bad man from the front
entered the tent of J. A. Zangrell,
one of our business men. Mr.. Zan-
gren being absent the fellow found
Mrs. 2. alone with a 6-year old child,
and thinking himself master Of the
situation, made use of some grossly
insulting language. Mrs. z. did not
scream, or yell murder, or faint, but
snatching up a siX-shOOter with one
hand and a big raw hide In the other
she slashed the blackguard over the
head and body in style that aston
ished the natives. Out he nan into
the street, the lady after him, bella
boring him with the whip, making
him dance the 'ROcky Road to Dub
lin," to the tune Of "Yankee DOo-
die" There is good blood In that
family, you bet.
RObberies Of various kinds, from
petty to grand larceny, Is of nightly
occurrence, and you need not be sur
prised If you hear of a few thieves
dancing hOrnpipe on air in a very
few days.
Dissipation in all its forms comes
before ones eyes every day, and 1t is
almost impossible to believe that a
human being could become so de-
graded as some are. The LIQUORS
sold here, with a few exceptions,
would put Jersey lightning to shame.
The business men Of our town are a
very good, energetic class OF citizens,
and do everything in their power to
keep order. Send us a lawyer or
two, and a Justice Of the Peace.
think will run for mayor myself.
1t has been very warm and dry
here all summer and consequently
there are many large fires in the
mountains in various parts Of the
country. There are fires for miles
and miles In different places along
the line Of the railroad, destroying
some very fine timber and burning
hundreds Of cords Of wood belonging
to the railroad company. The COM
pany has squads of men fighting fire
along the line for some distance, to
prevent the ties from catching,

From the following brief enmmun-

slight mistake in stating the use that
the new building near the depot is
to be put to. The note will be COM
forting news for the people residing
in the immediate neighborhood, and
If there were any preparations made
to blow up the premises time has
been wasted. When led into such
errors we are always willing to make
dmende honorable, and therefore
spare space for the owner Of the
property to deny the allegation,
which is done in moderate language,
considering the provocation

There Is a party by the name of
Payne who eats air and grows eE-
ceedingly important on the diet
over near Medical Lake. To take
his word for it he is very owl on
wisdom, and knoweth more than a
great many people have forgotten.
He becomes exceedingly malicious
and frightfully denunciatory because
the editors of Spokane county have
seen fit to repeat the reports brought
to them that the crops in some por-
tions of the county are far better
than could be expected, considering
the unfavOrable season. So worked
up is he that he penned a weighty
communication to the OregoniaR, in
which he pronounces the crops fail
ure, gives some reasons for the short
age, and sandwiches in few shots
at the county papers. We feel
bruised in spots from the attack, and
great big tears hop down from our
starbOard eye when we think how
sad it is that after providence in its
mysterious workings had nursed into
existence and piloted through the
whirlpools and snags of life man of
such a ponderous collection Of brains
it should then spew him out into
this far away land to go to seed and
lose his identity. 1t is supposed by
certain class of individuals who
think they were created especially
to regulate the internal arrangement
Of the universe, that country editors
