this pretty little dog, which he was very
fond OF. L need not say that my boys,
who are dear boys, were very fond Of it,
too. They played with it last night, and
fed 1t, and made it lap milk. For you
must know that We have as good milk as
you have. Our two cows have not given
out at all since we started. There was
one night when they could not keep up
with US, but excepting that, we have had
milk all the time. Well, this morning, l
do not know how, somebody took the
little dog and put him under the seat of
the wagon, and there he went to sleep,
and we did not find him until we had
gone a good many miles. Then Cephas
had to ride all the way back with him,
for fear they should think we had stolen
him. Somehow Cephas missed the Dutch
mans son and he has just now brought US
a very funny letter, written in the worst
English [ ever did see, expressing his
surprise at our ingratitude. But Cephas
will be back soon, to tell US that he has
saved our reputation, though we have lost
our little dog.
Now l will begin my story. All the
way through the Bay, people ran out to
see US and our wagon, which was such a
strange thing to them; and IN Connect
cut, too, we were quite famous; but after
we came into Jersey, people did not mind
us any more than you mind Parson Bent
ley's chaise. For there were a great
many wagons going forward, and we fell
IN with some almost every day-for we
go faster than most of them do, having
such good horses. Of course we go
faster than the oxen, and I must confess
also that we go faster than those who
have yokes of COWS, as n man had
whom we passed yesterday. One day I
do the cooking, and n day my dear
Miriam does; for, do you know, [ have
learned to call Mrs. Titcomb Miriam and
we have not been afraid of each other
since that very first minute when [ left
you at Andover. And, my dear Aunt
Huldah, you will be proud Of your own
little girl, for I really believe that I am
almost as good a tent-keeper as you are a
house-keeper. It is not for nothing that
you have taught me how to keep pots and
kettles clean. Miriam is not ashamed Of
me at all, and I am not at all ashamed of
my breakfasts or my dinners. We are
not getting on, as fast as Mr.. Titcomb ex-
pected we should, but, as [ say, we are
getting on faster than most of them do,
and for my part, I like the life. I walk
every day three-quarters of the way I
have often walked fifteen miles. Then

able excitement was occasioned at the dor
mitory building of the agricultural college,
ON Sunday last by report being circulated
of the accident which befell one of the girl
students by falling from the top of the new
6O-foot water tower, lately erected on the
college farm. One or two of the board
of regents happened to be in close
proximity, it is said, when the occurrence
happened and quickly ran to render all pos
sible aid necessary, but the victim was
found to he ulhurt, fort was dummy.
1t is not necessary to state here that this
institution could not bear the name of a
"colegs'' were the students entirely in
capable of committing any cantrap; they
would't be worthy to receive sheep skin
were they not up to some mischiefall the
time. 1t seems those at the dormitory
learned that visitors were to be there on
Sunday and so fixed up ':girl" ou: of
straw and suitable clothing and carried it
to the top of the tower. At the appointed
time one of the number on the top should
give scream, over would 60 the dummy,
and great would be the CONSERVATION.
Everything worked to perfection and now,
it is safe to predict, some other tricky work
is being concocted.

TO THE CITIZENS OF CORVALLIS.

We, the undersigned incorporators of the

ready to let cuEtracts for the construction
of said railway, having funds on hand to
construct and equip the first mile of road,
running from the corner of Second and JEFF.
ferson streets over the route granted by our
franchises. Realizing the fact that the i'm.
mediate construction of said railway over
route direct to both the depots of the
Southern Pacific and Oregon Pacific rail.
roads would not only prove profitable to the
company but also greatly enhance the value
of all property lying Oh or near said rail
way, would respectfully sui bmit the follow
ing propositions: Books for subscription to
the capital stock of the company will be
opened at the. bank of Hamilton, Job & Co.,
Monday. Dec. %. and close Thursday, Dec
26th;if by that time thirty shares of stock
at 500 per share are subscribed, the cum-
pany will guarantee the Immediate construc-
tion of the line as stated and contracts let
at once, subscriptions to be paid when the
line is completed over the route named.
The company recognizes the duty of
afording equal transportation facilities to
all parts of the city and suburbs, and trust
their efforts will receive the cordial support
of our citizens that all interests may be ad-
vanced. ZEPHIN JOB,
