A SUCCESSFUL CHURC H FAIR.

Il
The church fair, on Thursday of last
week, postponed by rain from Wed
nesday), resulted in the sale Of fancy
articles and household convenienceS,
to the amount of 5000, which was
most satisfactory to all concerned and
the members of the Ladies' Sewing
society desire to thank all who helped
by their presence and patronage to
this success. Notably among the at
fractions Of the fair, this year, was
the display of decorative china by the
artist herself, Mrs Carolyn Doremus
OF Bridgeport, who was awarded the
medal atIthe Pan-Americanl Exposition
for the best decorated ware shown
there. Her display and sale here was
so flattering, she has promised to come
again, next year, to similar fair If
held here. The day was perfect in air
and sunshine and the attendance cor
respondingly large.

rains Washed part OF it away every little
while, besides rendering it at most times
<well-nigh impossible on account Of the
depth of the mud. Besides, the gold
seekers were paying $50 apiece for pas
sage to The Dalles. and $500 a ton for
transporting their goods, and it was
evident that it would pay the company
to make good time, in order TINT many
people and many outfits might be taken
to the gold fields.
In those days. long before the first
rans-continental railroad was built, all
heavy materials came by way of Cape
Horn. There was no railroad iron to be
had, and it would take many months to
get supply by ship from New York. In
the meantime, the traffic was increasing
every day. The difficulty was overcome
temporarily by building track with oak:
rails over which was laid a thin covering
of strap iron. And it was for service on
this track that the pony was built.
The pony was found to be the very
thing needed. The engine was not too
heavy for the rails, and was so small
that she took the curves without difficult
ty; and she could make the seven miles
in an hour, which was not all bad. The
first run was made on May 10, 1862, and
for two years the faithful pony ran up
and down with her load Of passengers
and freight. By the end of this period
the iron rails from the east had arrived
and been put in place, and a new engine,
bigger and stronger. took the place of
