ASuaaER OUTING. "A First street man
has received letter from DR. Rossiter, ol
Portland, formerly Of this city, giving a
very interesting account Of his summer out
| ing, which displays in very marked man
| ner some Of the difficulties experienced in
seeking health and recreation. He decided
| to do Wilhoit Springs, and with his wife
and friend started for that place in a
buggy and behind hired horse That
horse, thereby hangs the tale. Sometimes
he went and sometimes he didn't. He
bucked Mt every hill and the Doctor had 10
haul the Wagon, until finally some one was se-
cured to help them finish the trip. A week
or two of oroquet, quoiss, cards and water,
and the ordeal of a return was begun. They
had not gone far when the horse, like Ba-
ker's and Corners, turned up his toes, re
gardless of the Doctors veterinary exper-
ience. As no help could be obtained the
horse was cut L? and carried of IN pieces
and buried, and it was with varied exper-
fences that the company were able TO reach
OregonC ity and take a car for home. As
the horse was hired the Doctor had TO iiq-
uidate handsomely for the useless carcass
besides the attendant expenses created by
The beast. The ladies were about exhaust
ed by their trials, and got enough of that
kind of summer outing.
