oregon Fails to Meet Expectations

The Republican calculation was TO carry
Oregon this year by majority of 10000 on
the congressional ticket. They were not SO
fortunate, it seems, as they hoped, or as the
last elections led them to expect. Their ag-
ereeate plurality in the two congressional dis
tricts was but 1900. Their candidate for Sn-
preme Judge has but 5000 plurality, and the
attorney -generalship is in doubt.

The Arkansas river at Little Rock was re-

The White river rose ten feet in the main
channel ut Columbus, Indiana, on Friday and
Saturday, by reason of continuous heavy rains.
The rise in the Orange river at Tuscumbia,
Missouri, on Saturday, was such as to give
rise to the fear that the disastrous food of
two weeks ago would be repeated. The
farmers have Just finished replanting.
Another break in the Mississippi levee, a
few miles below Arkansas City, was reported
on Saturday, 1t was 600 feet wide and II
| feet deep.

ing on Saturday, and at Cheyenne the snow
was eight inches deep.
STANTON, Va, June 7.-0ne of the most
severe rain storms ever known here visited
Staunton and vicinity this evening. 1t lasted
/ for nearly an hour. The streets were flood
4 ed, streams greatly swollen and property in

A despatch from Quincy, Illinois, Tuesday
night, says that the Hunt levee has given
way under the enormous pressure Of the flood,
and what was a fertile district 20 miles long
by wide is now covered by water from 6 to
| Is feet deep. The crevass occurred at a
point known as Otter Bay, "a miles north OF
/ Quincy, and was 200 feet wide and 20 feet
deep.
A span of the railroad bridge across the
I Red river, at Fulton, Arkansas, gave way on
Monday just after train had passed oyer it.
| The river is estimated to be IA miles wide

$50, 900 yards done. That he had been

Yards. This entire work, about $780,.
900 yards will be let in January next

While with Christmas thoughts full gentle
We wended our h0meward way.

Ard their heads noddAng SO sweetly,
Saying bed-time Is come We think.
So the mantle ofnight spread wider,
For Somnus was getting close by,
And We closed the praftle with prayer.
TO the Master who rules on high.
But now comes the gist Of our story,
Away In the realms Of dreaIEland,
We saw gobblers aged and hoary,
Marching sround in big bands.
We heard them distinctly gobbIe.
AS they trotted around in row.
And one of them loudly did wobble.

oh he was \ stately strutter,
His bronze feathers did glittering CLEAN.

We woke and alas twas dream.
