In the circuit court in Umatilla county
suit has been brought in a case that the
whole world can hardly parallel. '
Last year a farmer named Edwin Rush
rented a farm from a capitalist named
William Wagner, and some time ago
Bush, liking the place, made Wagner an
offer of $9000 for it,' which was accepted,
the former paying the latter $50 cash
down to bind the trade. Since then,
thanks to Providence having smiled on
the western and frowned on the eastern
hemisphere, making ) bountiful crops
here and meager ones there and a good
price for all, Rush has raised in one sea
son enough wheat on the place to more
than pay for it, and one day last week
he called upon Mr. Wagner, and, in
pretence of witnesses, tendered him the
balance of the purchase price, $8,950, all
in shining gold twenties, except one $10
; piece, v Wagner , refused to accept the
money, having come to the conclusion
that he had sold too cheap, and hence
the law suit. -.- . ,-, :r w.

George Perringer a. few days ago re
turned with his family from a visit to
the principal cities -of Paget sound.
.The husband and two sons of Mrs. F.
', Esping take this manner of express
ing their gratitude to the many kind
friends who daring her long illness never
tired of doing all they could to alleviate
her suffering, and when the closing
hours of this life drew near smoothed her
dying pillow .with encouraging words of
love and sympathy. We are also grate
ful to those who made the dark pall and
tbe shroud seems less drear by their
gifts of flowers. May they all realize,
even in this life, that "it is more blessed
to give than to receive," and mtry they
have an abundant entrance into the life
beyond, where parting shall be no more.
