"a Mountain PInE. "

The play OF "a Mountain Pink" as
presented by Laura Dainty aud her
strong support, on last Friday evening,
deserved fuil house, instead of ths
handful who attended. IL was rplen-
didly rendered, IL full Of striking scenes
and has an interesting plot TO 1t which
keeps the closest attention OF the audi.
ence. Laura Dainty has few superIors In
her line. She acts with a simplicity yet
with a completeness Of expression, that
is charming, keeping the attention Of her
audience in q manner few actors are
able TO do. She was well bac ked 10 each
part. particularly by Mr.. Hynsor ms
Harlo WIlmot, Mr. Wilson as Col Trait
on, Mr. Ross as Jack Weeks, Miss Gregg
as Pslle Trafton and Mr.. Wiltsie as
ScIp. The makeup OF Jack Weeks can
not be surpassed. 1t struck the DEMO
cRAT man as being an uncommonly
good one for the character.

A gentleman Of veracity tells this good
one. A gentlemanly census taker approached
q comfortable looking house not thousand
miles from Albany, rang the bell, and wo-
man came to the door. The usual questions
were asked and answered and the officer was
about to walk away, when the woman, who
up to that time seemed TO be in an uncertain
state of mind made bold to say "Hold on
think there may be another by this time
wait a little while." He sat for few min
utes." She returned exclaiming, "Yes, you
can add another,it's girl" And the man
with chart" walked smilingly away.

The Portland Telegram gives the following
notice Of the Waterloo Springs
"a gentleman who came down to-day from
Lebanon, Linn county. states that large
crowd of persons visited Waterloo Soda
Springs yesterday. Between 300 and 400
visitors were present So great and constant
was the demand for water that the little
boiling spring was kept bailed nearly dry all
day. However, the advantage gained by this
continual dipping was that the water came
QureIing into the little followed receptacle
cold as ice itself and very sharp and pleasant.
Hundreds of gallons were imbibed yesterday
by the heated and thirsty visitors. The day
was very warm and the water was pronounc-
ed perfectly delicious by all who tasted il.
improvements have been made recently
which add greatly 20 the comfort and con
venience of all who visit the Waterloo
Springs. Among other things large canvas
tent has been spread over the spring and n
temporary foot-bridge laid across the ''roar-
ing Santiam." The spring is becoming quite
a fashionable resort, and, especially on Sun
days, residents for a radiuslof twenty miles
in Linn county make the place common
rendezvous to enjoy pleasant ride and quaff
its invsgorating waters"
Several from Albany who were present
have the same reports to make. Watsrlto il
ast becoming the popular resort Of the val
ley, on account of its advantages and the
splendid medicinal qualities Of the water.

Last Monday Corvallis was the scene OF
a runaway which, most unfortunately,
resulted in the death Of an estimable wo.
man. Mrs, NH. H.Drummond,a daughter of
R.Callowsy, was riding after horse along
one ofthe streets OF that city when 1t be-
came frightened and ran away, throwing
Mrs Drummond to the ground. Striking
on her head her neck was broken and she
died almost instantly.
At the time she was accompanied by a
young man named Taylor, and held thres
months old babe in her arms. Taylor snatch.
ed the child and saved il from any injury.
Mrs Drummon6, whose residence is in David.
son, Cal, was visiting her relatives and
friends in and near Corvallis, and Wednesday
her husband arrived to join her, but only to
be greeted by her funeral procession. The
accident has caused general sorrow wherevel
the circumstances are known.
