One Of the most difficult tasks that falls 10
the LOT OF a newspaper man, Is that OF writ-
ing up anmptuous dinner. This Is partic-
ularly so when he attempts IL Immediately
after he has ariaon from well filled tables.
He feels at the time that ho would like TO
an columns In oulogy Of the host, his repaat
and everything about it. lie even scratches
his head for biological sketches Of all con.
ocrned. His whole soul rushes TO the task.
His good nature expands and his heart ills
with love for the world ia general. A full
man is satisfied man. This IL introductory
to some remarks we propose TO make on .
farewell dinner given by Mr. and Mrs PfoifTer,
of the Revere House last Wednesday noon,
that being their la : day, as propriotors OF
that very popular hotel We feel our in
ability TO do il justice. for Mr. and Mira Il.
have conducted the Revere House so long
and obtained such wide spread reputation
in the cuisine art that wo arc unable TO in.
vent anything new for the oocasisn, and
think they deserve something more than the
stereotyped paragraphs. Besides tho large
number Of regular guests Of the hotel were
several Of the editors and their wives OF this
city, Mr. s 8 Train and wife, OF the Herald ].
Mr. T Porter, wife aud daughter. Of the
Baiietia and the humble scribe and wife, Of
the DEMOCRAT all ft subjects tor large
dinner. Hungry from continued ropasta on
broken promises, false hopes and ,ndigesti-
bio ''pi" generally they walked up TO tho
heavily laden tables with stout hearts. and
when the polite and accomplished walters
yelled in their ears |; soup. roast turkey. fried
chicken, roast beei. pork steak, mutton chop,
sweet and Irish potatoes, peas, corn, frizxled
cabbage, tea, coffee minoe, lemon, black
berry, apple or pumpkin pie, rice, cnstard,
grapes, etcesera, etoetsra. they unanimously
aud in chorus cried, ''It you please" They
got all they could control aud more too OF as
timely cooked dinner as II is ever the lot Of
even an Epicure TO set down to so that
when they arose it was as tho most satisfied
crowd that ever partook Of free dinner. We
know We speak the sentiments OF all, aa will
be evidenced by ours and tho columns Of our
contemporaries
AL regret seeing MIR and Mrs +. retire
from the Revere House yet there is much
satisfaction in knowing that they are succeed
ed by those so capable of keeping up the
splendid reputation Of tho hotel, and that
they will remain for at least tho present in
our city. This is considerable to say about
dinner, q common affair each day Of tbs
year, but it is ne more than this particular
occasion deserves.

A school Teachers Case,

A very Interesting case was tried before
George Humphrey, J. p, at the Court
House last Saturday. Prof. Jewitt was
plaintiff and the Shsdd School District de.
fendant. About two years ago Prof levitt
was hired by the above District, and taught
successfully for year. Last fall he was
again hired and Taught the winter term,
When the time for the spring term came
another teacher was hired. Prof Jewitt
claimed that he was hired for a year and
hence claimed pssy for the three months
spring term at s75 per month, during that
time he being unable to get another school
On the trial the principal question was
that Of the length or the contract. the
question of the satisfaction given being
also introduced, it being claimed by one
director that the plaintiff was only hired
80 long as he gave satisfaction. After
hearing the testimony pro and con Justice
Humphrey rendered verdict in favor OF
the plaintiff for S215.

Too Mach Superstition

No one believes in ghosts yet there Is a
good house in this city, in splendid locality,
which remains empty at a time when houses
are scarce and can hardly be found because
two or three years ago ridiculous ghost
story was started about it. People who talk
of renting 1t are looked at with scared look
and an ominous shake of the head, and told,
"ob. yes, it is good house, but. then, did
you ever hear about that ghost seen in it,
and all the time they don't believe it, not .
bit of it. We venture to say that notwith.
standing this not ons person in ten would
take and remain in the house year free
Of rent. after having heard the ridiculous
ghost story. 1t Is to be hoped some sensible
man will rent the house and wear of this old
ghost business.

A Midnight Run.

About 30 Tuesday night the lire bell in
this city rang the first alram for several
months. The cause Of it was the burning Of
shed ON the corner Of Ferry and Ninth
Streets. How it was set fire would be useless
TO speculate. Il was laid promissuously to
trAmps, boys, etc. Probably the fremen
made the quickest time ever made to a long
distance fire in this city, due TO the bright.
ness of the night and the good condition Of
the streets. In such a short time were No.
Is on hand that, as dry as the building was.
the flames were stopped before all the spiders

pany may come out third at a tournament +;
but for rough and tumble race to fire they
are rightin the front. Damage, about so.

Cot HIS DaeS.

A few days ago at Jefferson q dsprAvod
Celestial tOek a daughter of the r r agent
there, only four or five years Of age, and
rushed of with her into the brush wood near
that place, it was thought for a criminal
purpose. The father Of the girl happening
to see them as they entered the brush wood,
followed them, caught the Chinaman and
gave hima most energetic thrashing, break
ing three or four fingers aud bruisiDg him up
generally, which though was only q small
fraction of what he deserved. The Celestial
Immediately afterwards left for parts I'M
known, except to his brethren. II hispur-
pose was what was thought hanging would
have been a mild punishment.

Barn burned.

On last Friday evening the family OF Mr.
JOS Wiles, living ON the west side OF the
Willamette between this city and Corval-
lis, we're, with tho exception of son, at
the State Fair, About dusk tramp Is
said to have come along aud wanted to
know Of the boy II ne could sleep in the
barn. Obtaining his consent ne went to
bed there, In the middle Of the night
young Wiles was awakened by a crack
ling sound In the direction Of the barn,
which he found to be in flames. Rushing
out he succeeded in getting a wagon, har-
ness and horse out but the remainder OF
the property stored there and the barn,
were entirely burned, A thresher, head
or, wagon, other machinery aud tools, and
some hay were consumed, making the
total less large ono for such fire. The
building and contents were insured in the
State Insurance Co., or Salem for 5000
one-third off, The opinion OF course, Is
that the tramp did 1t, Nothing was seen
OF him afer the fire. No doubt he took q
hasty departure as Is custom OF tramps
on such occasions.

We intimated last week that Ed Broy.
les, the man with the mania for hiring
horses and selling them, had not much
sense. We have changed our mind in
a measure. Afser being placed in the
Jail atCoryallIs Broyles began planning
how to get out, and this Is the way hs
succeeded In doing It. The bolt which
was supposed to secure the heavy pad
lock on the outside was fastened on the
inside with nuts. Breaking chair to
pieces Broyles made a square hole In q
piecs oft the right size to tit the nuts,
and then unscrewed them. pushed the
bolt out very easily making his
escape, leaving for parts unknown. He
will be sure to be caught.

It is now understood that parties can leave
Portland at p. m, or Salem at p. IA. and
60 through by rail to Brownsville the same
evening. They go by the Lebanon express
to the junction OF the Lebanon branch with
the Narrow Gauge aud take the train on the
Narrow Gauge, which has been making con.
nections with the evening express, for
Brownsville. This fact has not been adver-
tised, nor appeared in print before, and how
long the arrangement will last is not known
to the writer Statesman.
You are completely mistaken in your last
remark. Mr. Statesman. In the DEMOCRATS
issue Of July 3lst, over TWO months ago, the
above information was conveyed to the people
of the Willamette Valley, AID this program
has beea in operation for just about that
length Of time. Pornaps yol were asleep.
But then two months behind time il not ,
much.
