Jack Stan,als is the prince of good fellows.
To- day he cut the ice off the steps leading

The railroad men between this city and

Boston In l776 lodged a complaint against

several obdurate sinners have been con-
verted from the errors of their ways. This
much we learn from the Transcript, and it

that paper has taken a religious turn. 1t
would be good thing If lightning would
strike several offices in the state.
Our young friend, Mr.. Theodore, should
oe careful how he jumps on freight trains
leaving the depot. Intending to ride down
to the Umatilla House. and jump off. he
got on board; but being double-header the

get off until two miles below The Dalles,
and was forced to walk back. He will be
careful how he gets on freight train here
after.

Dyed the sport. Last evening the moon
hone brightly on a wide expense of glisten-
