Pleasant Christmas Eve

One who was impressed by the exer-
cises in the M. e. church Christmas
eve, hands in the following:
The spacious Methodist church in this
city was, as usual, the scene of a JOYOUS
Christmas festival on Monday night, and
$50 children of the Sunday schools were
made happy by the glittering fruit of three
verdant Christmas trees. Joyous Christ
mas songs and an earnest prayer by the
pastor, Rev. Spoor, who pathetically al
luded to the assembled little ones, as ssthe
church of the f%uture,' preceded an excel
lent entertainment, the chief features Of
which were recitations, songs and exercises
by the infant classes. Santa Claus did not
appear-was too busy elsewhere, but two
ancient female members Of his family were.
on hand, and did good service in distribute
ing the Christmas fruit among the eager
crowd of merry little ores. Much Credits
due to the ladies' of this church, who
planned and worked unselfishly for the
proper observance of this Christian festi-
val; and everybody went home happy, at
having witnessed the overlooking joy and
satisfaction of the children.
The program was as follows:

Drowned i'm the ocean.

Yesterdays Portland Telegram has the
following account OF the drowning of Judge
+. A. Wiswall. at Clatsop beach:
Persons returning this morning from Clat-
sop report that it was at Grimes and not at
Seaside that Judge E. A. Wiswall. OF the
superior court of Washington, was drowned,
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning Judge
Wiswall, who was an expert swimmer and
in the habit of venturing beyond the break
ers, went out beyond the life lines. and. 1t
Is supposed, was seizad with cramps. BE
sank IN full view of hundreds of persons.
Several of the bathers near him made an at
tempt to rescue him, but 1t was futile, and
the body was not afterwards seen. An ef-
fort was made to get outside the breakers
in boat, in hopes Of picking him up, but
each time the boat was swamped and the
lives of the boatmen endangered in the
heavy surf. Mrs. Wiswall stood on the
beach and watched her husband drown.
She was frantic with grief. and for several
hours walked the beach with her child in
her arms, refusing all offers of comfort.
Judge Wiswall was a native of Iowa,
about 35 years of age. He attended Grin
nell college and was a graduate of the Iowa
state university. Immediately after grad
uating he came west and commenced the
practice Of law at Vancouver, Wash where
he soon took high rank IN his profession.
and two years ago was nominated and
elected judge of the superior court of the
Vancouver district, as Democrat, though
the district was Republican. H, was mar
ried to Miss Loretta Nsy, whom he met
while attending the college at Grinnell.
She and their one child are now at the
beach

Residence Burned.

The residence of Mr.. Charles e. Hay
ward, on Juniper fiat, burned to the
ground last Saturday afternoon. MIR
Hayward and q hired man had been
hanling grain during the day, and after
the noon hour had started to the barn
with another load when Mrs. Hayward
came out and gave the alarm OF fire.
they and several neighbors worked very
diligently, and managed to save a large
portion of the furniture and bedding; but
the building was total loss, as no water
was available, and the flames had a good
start before the alarm was given. The
cooking stove had been moyed that aay
from the kitchen to the woodshed, and II
Is supposed a coal of fire must have
dropped from the stoye into the dry fuel
The loss will be from $500 to $4Ou, and
there was no insurance. Fortunately Mr..
Hayward's barn and straw stacks did not
take fire, although at one time it seemed
as though clean sweep would have been
made of everything.

Two little waits, one bv the name oi
John Hamilton the other Stanley Robinson,
aged respectively l3 and Ia year, are now
iu charge of Sheriff Combs, who has ar.
rested and is holding them waiting for an
officer from Linu county to arrive aud take
charge of them. says the Prineville Netos
The charge alleged against them is larceny,
it being said that they stole a pony and sad
die apiece and struck ont for their hpmes
near Waterloo IN Linn county. The boys.
while ragged and dirty, seem to be ordinarily
bright little fellows, and claim that they
did not intend to steal the outfits, but mere.
ly took them from the pasture of rel alive,
and as we talxed the matter over with them
it appeared to rs that they must have
thought it no harm to do 40 It is scarcely
credible that such children should be full
fiedged horse thieves.

suicide Near Astoria.

Mrs. Joseph Petty. formerly resident
of Portland, committed suicide by drown.

Astoria. She was the wife of Joe Petty
late IN the employ of the Oregon Transfer
Company, and who in the earlier days
was known In the metropolis as the "man
with the iron jaw" an acrobat at the old
Elite theatre. The suicide is attributed
to her husbands foudness tor strong
drink, which rendered her very unhappy.
Some time ago she Is alleged to have said

rne sorrov of a POOR INDIAN.
Oregon City Courier.


Indian George. one OF the last aged sur
yivors of the Clackamas tribe, came here a
short time ago from the Siletz reservation to
inquire into the reported desecration of the
bones of the members of his family by the
yandal hands of white men. When he
saw, on the banks of the Clack mas. how
the graves of those dear to him had been
rooted up and the skulls and long bones
scattered about, the grief and indignation
that took possession of the wrinkled old
man almost deprived him of reason. But
what could he do! His tribe bad gone to
its everlasting home and the white men who
had sent it there were mesachjam. Alas.
what could be do but submit to fate?

Nine years ago began the agitation OF certain

ing of the agricultural interests.

abuses in our governmental affairs. The peo-
pie were in a. restless and dissatisfied condi-

were ignored. and the oigarchy controlling the
state government grew more and more inso-
lent in refusing to recognize what were felt to
be reasonable and proper reforms. the feeling
Of resentment grew stronger and stronger, and
the movement gathered impetus. BY 1880
