Mr. Robert Mc'ade made his appearance, as announced, at New Market Theater on Monday evening last in the well-worn iriaVof "III d Van AVlnkle.'1 He gives his-own. dramatization of Washington Irvlng's pathetic sketch, which, In the plot and minor characters, differs materially from the version with which theater-goers are so familiar, though the "business" of the one promi nent character remains substantially, the same. Aa Rip. the drunken vagabond, Mr. McWade proved that his reputation as a comedian of great ability is well-deserved, his rendition from, the "waking scene" to the close of the performance being replete with the lights and shades W mirth and pathos, and stamping him aa a true artist. In the first two acts, howevere was not so good, notably in the scene on the mountain w ith the gnomes, which waa continued too long, making the action slow and tedious.

Occasionally dwellings have been carried away, and families were In dan ger,dut there is no reporte! ions of life. In Portland, the lower floors of wharves were suddenly submerged, over 2000, tons of wheat le ing ruined. The loss,, Including cost of moving dry grain to upper floors, will aggregate about $75,01)0, of which Geo. Marshall & Co. will bear onefourth, the rest being distributed among-a number of firnts.' - Advices from Salem say that but one wharf is left, the others having gone with the current, fol lowed by the O.

The loss of the Ort'gnnian -Railroad (narrow gauge) Company will, be about $200,000. The track and grading Is washed out In a number of places and several fine bridges have leen carried away, notably those over the-Nortix. Santiarat River and Silver and Abiqua Creeks. . In Eastern' Oregon, the long toll bridge near the mouth of the Deschutes River was carried away, and It is reported that others shared the same fate. Including the one known as "Scott's," over the John Day, . The waters are receding rapidly, and no fear of further daipage is entertained.
