A BAD MAN.-After some deliberatiSn
we have concluded to pronounce one f.
Sullivan a very bad man, more than ordi.
narily so. Saturday after bloody resis-
day he was again incarcerated for being
drunk and disorderly, but was allowed 10
depart on condition that he leave the city.
He left but returned. About three o'clock
Tuesdaymorninghe entered theDepothotel
and going up stairs broke into rooms pro-
miscuously, finally getting into the head
cooks department., where he was trying to
get into his trunk when he was frightened
away. Casper Vordian, the good looking
clerk, followed him up and near the-depot
succeeded In capturing him after desper
ate fight, In which Casper came out on top.
He was placed in the Jail, where Justice
Humphrey says he may remain,in default
of bail until the Grand Jury convenes in
March.
WANTED TO DIE.-Two or three weeks
ago Mrs. Barnes, daughter of Mr.. Will
liam Scanlon, residing few miles from
Lebanon, came from Kentucky to her
fathers home, with whom she took up her
residence. Her husband remained In Ken
tueky, and II seems that there had been a
family trouble, causing them to separate, as
nearly as we can learn. She was despond-
ent after her arrival, and finally Monday
tried to shuttle off life's miseues and her
sorrows In particular, by taking morphine.
On discovery of what had been done n
physician was sent for, and offered the poor
woman relief. At last reports she was
alive with good prospects of living. She
claims that she did not intend to commit
suicide.
PRoMNEScE.-Eyery paper has some
claim to prominence. F'rinstance the
-Asl0Dias is published the farthest west of
any daily paper in the United States, the
0r2goHlaa is the only daily morning paper
in a city of 10000 people, the Tacoma
Ledger is the only eight-paged paper pub
lished daily in Tacoma, the New York
Herald is the only paper published in
America with French and English edi
tion, etc. And now comes the ). +. Alta.
That Is the only paper in North America
that costs mere to take 1t by the year tksn
10 take II by the week.-Asf0yfaB Moral

Sured Sabbath and next morning, three of

boose. Names-Wm Cook, Jos West,

and John Murphy. About Ioo'clock Chas
Powell AND E Sullivan were introduced to
Recorder Henton, for being drunk and
disorderly and were given three days in

A KIcK.-The following is what a cor
respondent from Tallmam to Salem has to
say about the n. G. road: allow much
longer do we have to endure the go-and-
come. .as-you- please way the Narrow
Gauge railroad has of carrying the mail !?
Very often our paper does not reach here
till Monday, with a mail train passing
here twice day on the o. &C. We have
10 depend on the Narrow Gauge for our
mail, and they are always here when they
get here. Grain looks vel considering
the freeze"
A New PLAN.--The following plan for
making church sociabIes spicy and en-
Joyable, has been put in practice in some
places: "Each person is given a card on
which dozen names are written and he
or she are required to talk FIVE minutes
with each one whose name is on the card.
At the expiration Of five minutes bell 1:
struck and new person is sought. BY
this plan wall flowers are made at home
.cliaeeS are broken up and all go home
happy" While this plan might not te
agreeable to some of the most love sick
members of society, It would strike mos
:as about the proper thing.
