st. Valentines Day.

Next Wednesday will be st. Valentines
day and many an expressive billetdoux
will be sent and received in pursuance of
the time honored custom. This practise is
attributed to various causes but is generally
conceded TO be in celebration of the festi-'
val of the time honored saint St Valen-
tine was beheaded at Rome in the reign of
the emporer Claudius. A. d. '270, and was
early canonized. He was man OF most
admirable parts and so famous for his love
and charity, that the custom of choosing
valentines upon his festival took its rise
from thence and is still practised. Others
derive the custom from birds being sup
posed to select their mates on this day;
Others again from practice prevalent IN
ancient Rome at the vestival of the Luper-
Gala, held during the month of February,
when, among other ceremonies, the names
of the young women were placed in box,
from which they were taken by young men,
according as chance directed. At once
practised, it was the custom on the eve of
Feb IA, st. Valentines day, to have the
names of select number of one sex put
into some vessel by an equal number of the
other, and thereupon every one drew
name, which for the time being was called
his or her valentine. The custom OF choos-
ing valentines existed very early, and was
much practised in the houses of the gentry
in England.

Fire at Eugene City.

About o'clock Tuesday afternoon fire
broke out in the rear of Mechanics boot
and shoe store occupied Ly N. Barnett. Five
minutes after the alarm was given the hook
and ladder and engine companies were out
in full force, but owing to ice in the engine
the fire gained considerable headway before
two streams were turned on and the flames
extinguished. The loss is small and will
not exceed $1,000 and this is partially COW
cred by insurance. Citizsns and fremen
are jubilent over the success of their new
engine and had it not been for it consider
able property would have been consumed.

From "rhe Times. !.

Editor Of 1smes:-In reading the East
number of your paper, I noticed you asked
all who had been benefited by the letter
published in your valuable paper about q
year ago, to write you the facts for publi.
| cation. The letter from Dr. Bates created
a great amount of excitement in this vicin-
ity, as he is well and favorably known by
and as physician gave everybody the ut
most confidence in all his statements, and
this of course soon made the name Ken
dalfs SPAWN Cure not only familiar but
very popular. In reply to your request l
would say: about nine years ago slipped
on the ice and sprained my right limb at
the knee joint. was very lame and suffer-
ed excruciating Pain much of the time since,
and some of the time thought should be
cripple for life. d. Bates letter printed in
your paper gave me so much confidence in
the virtue of Kendall's SPAWN Cure that
tried it for my knee and less than one bot
tie completely cured me so that l have had
no return of pain or lameness, for which, of
course, cannot feel too thankful. Since
my recovery have visited friends in the
west and found that the following parties
have used it with the grandest results in
that part of the country: The Rev. John
Rice, Hematite, Mo-, used it OH his own
person fer an injury of 80 years standing
and performed one of the most wonderful
cures ever heard of. J. L. Mcclure of
Strong City. Kansas. cured badly lacer-
ated and poisoned hand, from hog bite
and also removed an enlargement near the
hip joint which had become large and
troublesome. He also used it for pleurisy
and found that bathing his chest with it re-
lieved him at once. To my surprise found
that this wonderful remedy was better
known in the west than it was in the east,
and found that they were using it there
for animals as well as on human flesh with
the very best of results, and find so many
cases wherever go to confirm the favorable
opinion had already formed of it that am
glad of an opportunity of telling the readers
of your valuable paper what 1 have learned
in regard to it. Hoping to hear from others
upon this very important subject, especially
importsnt to those who have suffered for
years like myself, remain.
Yours &C., J. A. RoYcE.>

It is mooted question among some of
our young men of this neighborhood as to
which is the harder, heads or ice. On Sun
day Herman Hecker made very satisfac-

and gave his decision in favor of ice. Perry
Caster was not satisfied with Herman's test
and the day following he took run and
jump at the ice and is now carrying his right
eye in sling with the full assurance that
hereafter he will be able to show crescent

Narrow ESCAPE.

The north bound train at the Harrisburg
bridge last Friday narrowly escaped an
accident As the train was crossing en-
gineer John McFadden noticed the engine
give sudden lurch, he feared calamity
and put on all the steam possible and the
engine shot forward with lightning speed
dragging the cars after it. 1t was found
that when the engine gave the lurch and
was then over the end aLutment, which had
been loosened by the current and the weight
of the engine caused it to loosen entirely.
After the locomotive passed the abutment
floated off down stream and it was found
that the bridge had sunk several feet.
