our plates being overladen with chicken,
cakes, tarts, &C., &c. After partaking of
all we felt able, we adjourned to anothe r
room, and all of the many friends who felt
so disposed engaged in dancing. Then
after few hours exercise, the table was
again spread with good things Being thus
often refreshed the dancing continued till
broad daylight. Upon whole it was a
pleasant affair, and 1 think a more kind
and genial people cannot be found than there
is in Alsea Valley. May peace and pros
perity ever attend the happy couple.

A Cow Craak Sceua.

The Roseburg Independent tells about
John Abbot, who has been carrying on the
saloon business near tunnel No. on the
extension of the o. & G. r. R. on Cow
creek, and says that on last Tuesday per-
son named Ruddy who claimed to be enti-
tied to the possession of the premises by vir-
tue of some agreement, entered and persua-
ded the barkeeper, with cooked revolver
to vacate. Abbot went to the scene of the
difficulty to settle the matter, when he was
induced to leave by the same terrible argu-
ment. Abbot, who was unarmed, accepted
the situation and went to neighboring
camp to prepare himself to defend his pro-
perty. On his return the whole plant was
in'ashes, although it is said that the liquors
were so badly frozen they would not burn.
The matter will be the subject of judicial
investigation, but no arrest has as yet been
made.

Yamhill Beats the World.

A rather amusing incident is told as hav-
ing occurred recently at church in Yam
hill county, not many miles from McMinn-
vile. The clergyman, it would appear, de-
sired to call the attention of the congrega-
tion to the fact that it being the last Sun
day of the month he would administer the
rite of baptism to children. Previous to
having entered the pulpit, he had received
from one of his elders, who, by the way,
was quite deaf, notice to tho effect that as
the children would be present that evening,
and he had new Sunday-school book ready
for distribution, he would have them there
to sell to all who desired them. After the
sermon, the clergyman began the
baptismal notice thus: 'tAll those having
children and desiring to have them baptisel
will bring them this afternoon. At this
point the deaf elder, hearing the mention
of children, supposed it was something in
reference to his books, and rising said: CAD
of those having none, and desiring them
will he supplied by me for the sum of 25
cents.

Fish Commissioners.

Under the law passed at the last Legisla-
ture appropriating 5000 for the purpose of
erecting fish ladder at the Oregon City
falls Gov. Moody has appointed Wallace
Baldwin of this City as commissioner to
carry out the objects of the bill.
The object of the bill il to erect suitable
ladders at the Oregon City Falls, which will
enable the fish and more particularly sal
mon to get above the falls where the fish
may find places to lay and hatch their young
unmolested by the ocean of nets that fill the
lower rivers. And also that people above
the falls may be able to occasionally catch
fresh fish nearer to their own households.
The law if it will work the object<.in-
tended will certainly be good one This,
however, remains to be tested by actual ex-
perienee.

The State Seal.

Every engraving of the State Seal of
Oregon that we have seen in print bears
date of 1857, which is two years earlier
than the admission of the state into the
Union. The Constitution was framed by a
convention chosen at the general election on
the first Monday in June, 1857. The Con-
vention met at Salem ON third Monday of
the following August, and adjourned in
September. The constitution was submitted
to vote of the electors of the territory on
November 9, 1857, and was adopted by a
vote of 7.l95 to 3,ls5 against it, On Feb
IA, 1859, the act of Congress admitting
Oregon into the Union with this constitu-
tion was approved by the President, from
which time it was deemed to have become a
state. From the time of the formation of
the constitution until the admission, the
territorial government continued in full
force and authority. The great seal in the
Secretary of States Office bears the proper
date-lS59

which Vas the lower jaw, part of the cram
ium, leg bones and ribs; the jaw measured
nearly. five inches across, and some of the
teeth are whoppers. Among the remains
are a lot of colored beads and brass buttons,
indicating that the old rooster had swal-
lowed soldier and thus suicided. The re-
mains are probably, those of yellow
legged rooster that vas demolished by the
early missionaries, and the trinkets some
that were potlached to the aborigines The
bones are said to be of normal size, but

Above the Clouds.

On last Saturday evening the entertain
ment given under the auspices of the Wom-
ans c. T. u, for the purpose of raising
funds for the cstabli hment of public Ii
brary and reading room, was exceedingly
well attended. The singing and recitations
during the fore part of the evening were
quite pleasing, while the drama entitled
above the Clouds" was produced very
creditably under the circumstances. The
caste was composed entirely of amateurs,
many of whom appeared on Saturday eve
ming for the first time and nothing very
startling could be expected. 1t is nothing
more than justice, however. to say, that
several characters were taken very well.
Financially the entertainment was a success.
as nearly hundred dollars was taken in
aud it is to be hoped that the laudable pur-
pose for which the entertainment was given
will be no less successful.

The United Youths.

The elopement of Elmer Bethers and Miss
Laura Porter from near Philomath about
ten days ago, and of which mention was
made in the GAZETTE last week, has been
permanently settled. The young couple
took southeasterly direction from here
and arrived at Roseburg after a two DAYS
journey, where they sought protection un-
der the strong arm of the law and were uni
ted in holy bonds of matrimony by the Rev.
John Howard of that place. The happy
couple spent the night together at the hotel
and expected to return to their old haunts
near Philomath the next day and settle
down to enjoy the stern realities Of con-
nubial bliss, but on telegram received by
Sheriff Perdom they were both arrested and
the young man escorted to other quarters,
the guest OF Douglas county, while the
young lady was persuaded to sleep alone at
the hotel They were returned by the pro-
per authorities to the 'shome Of their child
hood" and young Bethers gave bail to ap-
pear and answer the charge arrested for
On last Tuesday the accused appeared At
the place appointed, assisted by proper
counsel, to defend himself, but as the pros
ecuting witness failed to appear young Beth
ers was discharged. We understand that
the young husband and wife have settled
down to enjoy the real blessing of welded
life, and although their launch has been
rough and rugged, it is to be- hoped that
their troubles are over and that they NAV
skim across the matrimonial sea with a
favorable wind always blowing in the right
direction.
