ably well as Princess Ida, filling the part
gracefully and with good conception
of its character. Mr. Oscar Goodman
was we'll suited for the part of Prince.
His song, in imitation OF young lady at
the geological party, was failure, in any
sense, fact, though, not digressing from
the splendid manner in which lie repre-

Miss Moses displays splendid manage
ment and talent in such work.

LOOKING oBAcKwAKDs.--Retrospectiyely
We remember when people were greeting
the boggs with intense affection. In
those days we wanted something, and
We never thought OF punning. Now ouI
exchanges are full Of puns, with Hogg as
the central idea. The game is up. We
got something, and fine thing go far as
it went; but It makes US red hot TO think
that we didn't get twice as much for the
same money, as we undoubtedly ought
to have done. There will be some live
roofing done in the coming DAYS. Al
! these things go to show how human the
public is.
Nor APPRECIATED. Adam Bumbarger
esq, who gave bonds some time ago fol
his appearance at the April tenn of the
circuit court for figuring in shooting
scrape with Ed Montgomery, is oncs
more in durance vile in the Benton
county Jail. Jim Taylor, by whom h,
was employed, was his bondsman, and
several days ago Adam stole and sold
some Of Jim's hams. This little familiar
ty was more than Jim could overlook
, and Monday he turned Col Bumbarge
! over to Sheriff 0sburn, by wllom he was
locked up.--Corvallis Times.
