JSalem polled 462 -votes at last week's municipal electien: Astoria rolled 1,040. The Aberdeeu Packing company, of Ilwaco. hss received 5,0Qfl pounds of twine. There was a pleasant dance and a good time at the hall at Union town I a5t evening. Tho Portland Journal blew in 4,000 more than its receipts, during its brief duration.

A private letter from "Whatcom, Wash., yesterday, said that about ten days ago, a very heavy wind storm passed over the town blowing down four hou3e3 and also blowing a small clothing storo into tho bay. 'My, my," said a -visiter yesterday, 'how this Astoria property goesl yesterday, a thousand dollars, and to morrow, two thousand." Thus it is: all dean is gras, and all grass is hay: we're hers to morrow, and we're gone to dav. Geo. T. Pralher, of Hood Biver, one day last week, in going to his cellar found a sack of potatoes missing; but on close examination found a burned match and a 5 greenback on the floor. It was very evident that the thief in shouldering tho ''spuds'' hap dropped the greenback out of his pocket and hadnot missed it.

People living east of the Rocky mountains and at points much far-1 ther south by many hundred miles, J will scarcely believe that in December, , here in Oregon, we can pluck green peas from vines that have been grown in the gardens without any care what ever, yet such is the fact The New berg Graphic has vines that were pulled from tho garden of the lew berg house this week, that have blos soms, and peas developed largo enough for use. Au upper Astoria school girl, being told by her teacher to parso tho sen tence, "He kissed me," consented re luctantly, because opposed to speak ing of private affairs in public. "He," she commenced, with unnecessary em-' phasis and a fond lingering over the word that brought crimson to her cheeks, "is a pronoun, third person; singular number, masculine gender, a twififlpmfin. nratfv well fixed: univer- gallv considered a good catch.

The difference thus made in Polk and Ma rion counties for one year would go far toward paying for tho road." We are on tho eve of a great revo lution in the typographical appearance of printed matter, especially news papers, that is the use of black p.aper printed in white letters, instead of white paper printed in black letters as now.
