AN Adventure with q Cow.

A COW! The name is very familiar,
and the COW possesses that peculiar fac
ulty of becoming too familiar. A COW !!
The pronunciation is very tame, and SO
is the COW. 1t is with feelings of uneasi-
ness and apprehension that write this
awe-inspiring name. I feel a quivering
sensation whene'er I see, or hear, or
tell of this dark queen of disquietude.
My landlord being in state of
whenceness, it was my duty to milk the
COW, thus alleviating the responsible
ties of the careworn matron. Twas
with light and buoyant heart that I
went out into the pasture on that event
full evening for Old Brindle, proud Old
Brindle! Well remember the majes-
tic toss of her queenly head as she gazed
upon my manly bosom. Nothing loath
she fastened homward.
After driving her into the barn,
threw the milk bucket upon my arm
and marched boldly to her side Stand
and she stood; Hist! and she histed
and found myself in pile of old har.
ness in the rear of the barn, collar
around my neck, the lines wrapped sc.
curely around my feet and bride bit
in my mouth. Everything betokened {
disturbance of no quiet nature I mus
confess that felt extremely cowed.
let the calf milk that cow and I re
paired to the house to bathe my wear,
joints with arnica. Pm not afraid of
COW at all, but the milk does not pay TO

PERSONAL MENTION.

Miss Lenora Hendricks of Hood River
is visiting friends here.
Rev. ]. Whistler is confined to his
room on account of sickness.
J. B. Haverly left for Boyd this morn
ing. That little fourteen-mile trip to-
day is anything but a picnic excursion.
Captain John Stump came in on the
delayed passenger from the east this
morning, and took advantage of the
train being held here, to shake hands
with few of his many friends.
Mr.. 1. G. Darland, postmaster at Gold
endale, came down from Grant on the
delayed passenger this morning. When
he left Goldendale at O'Clock YESTERDAY
afternoon, the snow was not more than
six inches deep. Here at the same time
it was fifteen inches.

Two True Snow Stories.

There is some snow this morning, but
the snow is not so plentiful as the stories
concerning other heavy snowfalls. We
have heard some pretty tough ones, too
tough to bear printing, but some of the
milder ones might not break the type.
One narrator told a gentle one about
driving three thousand head of
sheep onto the head of the John Day.
A heavy snow came on, that fell so thick
and fast that the sheep were soon COW
cred to the depth OF twelve feet. A
sleet came on top of this moistening the
snow, and this being followed by cold
snap the crust froze solid. The sheep
began to move around under this crust,
the warmth of their bodies melting holes
through the crust in places so that they
had plenty of air. The grass started, be-
ing protected from the cold, and when
spring came and the snow began to melt
the owner who thought he had lost his
whole band, happening by that way,
heard the old bell-wether and on pros
pecting was delighted to discover the
whole flock alive and in good condition
for mutton.
Another small yarn was told on one
Abe Ritchie, an old mountaineer of Cal
ifornia, who got caught in terrible
storm above Woodford's on the head ot
the Carson river. Abe took refuge under
big pine tree, and the snow fell an
inch minute for eleven days. It struck
US as being remarkable, that a mar
could just hit the even figure of quarter
of-a-mile of snow without batting ar
eye, and so we left without hearing the
end of that yarn

The Grave was Opened.

We have heard story that seems to
bear the evidences of truth about it, to
the effect that grave in Sunset ceme-
terry had been opened by parties evi-
IDENTIFY intending to rob it. 1t seems
that some time ago, the body of a little
grandchild of S. B. Adams was removed
from some other graveyard to the Sun
set cemetery. Atthe time it was noticed
that the coffin seemed very heavy and it
was suggested that the body was petri-
fed. A few days ago Mr.. Frisco in
formed Mr.. Adams that someone had
been digging into the grave. Mr.. Adams
accompanied by Mr.. Barnett, went out
to the cemetery, and an investigation
disclosed the fact that the dirt had been
removed from the grave and the coffin
opened, although all had been carefully
replaced. It is supposed the story of the
petrIfcation caused the work to be done
and on this being found incorrect the
ghouls tried to conceal their work.

MARRIED.

At the Umatilla House, Wednesday
evening, Rev. W. G. Curtis, officiating,
Mr.: Ben. Wilson and Mrs. Nellie Byers
both of this city.
Both the high contracting parties are
well known here, and the wedding IS
somewhat of surprise. as it was thought
that the groom would hardly put his
leonine locks into the matrimonial
halter. Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeney stood
bravely by the couple until the knot
was irrevocably tied.

A New Years Sentiment.

Henry Watterson was the lion of the
New England dinner in New York Sat-
urday night. After speaking of the ap-
pearance before the society several years
ago of Henry W. Grady, he said:
81 appeal from the men in silken hose,
who danced to music made by slaves
and called it freedom-from the men in
bell-crowned hats, who led Hester
Prynne to her shames and called it re-
ligion-to that Americanism which
reaches forth its arms to smite wrong
with reason and truth, secure in the
power of both. I appeal from the pa
triarchs of New England to the poets of
New England from Endicott to Lowell !;
from Winthrop to Longfellow; from
Norton to Holmes; and I appeal in the
name and by the rights of that common
citizenship-of that common origin
back both of the Puritan and the Cava-
lier-to which all of us owe our being.
Let the dead past, consecrated by the
blood of its martyrs not by its savage
hatred-darkened alike by kingcraft and
priestcraft-let the dead past bury its
dead. Let the present and the future
ring with the song of the singers.
Blessed be the lessons they teach, the
laws they make. Blessed be the eye to
see, the light to reveal. Blessed be Toll
erance, sitting ever on the right hand OF
God to guide the way with loving word,
as blessed be all that brings us nearer
the goal of true patriotism, distrust oi
watchwords and labels, shams and
heroes, belief in our country and our.
selves.''

on No. this afternoon.
A New Ore Schultz.

The White Swan is certainly the valu-
able gold property that its friends have
claimed for it.
On Friday evening last rich and new
ore vein was struck west in the 150 foot
level and from vein of three or four
inches it has increased in width until at
the present time it is about four feet
wide, four inches of it showing free gold
to the eye. This find is of greatest i'm
portance and today the White Swan is
worth five times the money that it was
when Mr.. Tarbell took control of the
property only two months ago.
The latest development may change
the aspect of sale negotiations that have
been pending for some time, but to what
extent remains to be seen.

Died Id Hfs Post.

News reached here this morning that
Samuel Tucker had died in his cab at
some point on the road between Bridal
Veil and Portland. His engine was en-
gagged in pushing the rotary snow plows
and Tucker was sitting at his post in the
cab when he suddenly fell to the floor.
dead. It is said to have been a case of
apoplexy. Mr.. Tucker was a young
man, though an old engineer, being prob
ably about 80 years of age, and was very
popular not only among the railroad
boys, but wherever known. We under

In spite of the storm last night, the
members of the Union Dancing Club
decided to give their usual party, and
sleighs were accordingly sent for the
ladies and most of the gentlemen.
Quite number at length gathered, and
the usual pleasant evening was spent.
The Lake County Examiner gives a
graphic account of rabbit drive in that
section recently. A tight board corral
was made and everybody turned out to
enjoy the sport. The first day 1,70O
rabbits were killed and the next day
1900 more were gathered in. They had
gotten so numerous as to become a per-
feet nuisance, but this ought to thin
them out.
kilograms from Portland state that it
is raining there today, and as far east as
Troutdale. The snowfall at the Locks is
not nearly so heavy as here. We seem
to be in the very center of the storm, the
snow being much deeper here than on
either side of us. At Walla Walla this
morning there were only ten inches, and
about the same at Pendleton. The in
fdications now are that we shall have
rain, which will make a decidedly in
Yteresting mess of our three feet of the

That 'tsound of revelry by night y
