Though times are very dull and cash scant, yet the industrious farmers seem prosperous; fields are being cleared and orchards planted, now bums and houses are being built; so the ax and saw will do their work as long as willing hands will wield them. Hard time are rough on ihe common laborer, who must buy all the necessaries of his existence, but the economical farmer. who keeps out of debt is safe and hard times to him is like "water on a duck's back," and especially in a year like the post one, when crops are so abundant. Now the time Is at hand for the county court to make new supervisors, and, of course, they will make new ones instead of putting the old one back. This is a mis take. The new supervisor does not know the bad placea in the roads a well ss the old one. it is eur opinion that Ihe super visor should serve at least five years. We take, for example, Scappoose road district, which is the banner district of the county, simply bsoause Harry West has been super visor for tho past tour years. When P. Smith was supervisor here two years in succession, be don three times as much work the last year as he did the first, Mr. Smith should be appointed again. cocjpir covm.

Kditos Mist -Ws are sorry to relate a sad accident which took place In the Upper Deep creek settlement about 2 o clock last Monday night, there being a fearful wind storm raging at that time. A man by the name of John Vandanberg and family, con sisting of wife, three children and his aged father, had settled on a homestead in the wilderness. A Urge II r tree Deing proses off sixty or eighty feet from its ba-e. falling upon the frail shanty, tb. result of which may easily be conjectured. The wife, being frightened by the terrific Hind-falls that surrounded tbem a few minute before Uie fatal result, arose end removed her two little girls from tbe room which their grand father was lying in, and placed them in ber own bed with tbe husband, tbe little boy being ud with his mother. Just then a large piece of the broken tree came crash ing through the roof, falling directly upon the old gentleman . killing him almost in stantly, and literally demolishing ths bed previously occupied by the children. The husband, wile and three children escaped with slight injury, snd spent the remainder of tbe night at tbe base of a large leaning maple tree near by. We can imagine tbe terror and grief thst'these poor homeless people must have endured during that eventful night. Tuesday . December 29. at 8 o'clock p. m.. a few of the neigh bors psid their last respects to that venera ble pioneer, Cornelius Vandanberg, by placing his mortal remains, dressed In its best garment, in a rough cedar coffin and burying them in a apot of his own chosing. upon the sunny side of a little hill near the scene of desolation. Deceased wa a native of Holland, a member of the Roman Catholic church, an affectionate futher and an amiable and in dustrious citizen. His eventful life reached Us slloted time of three score and ten, be-1 ing st the time Of his death, 79 yean, 4 montha and 14 days of age. He was heard to make the remark, at the time of their settlement on the late homestead that, "An old tree will not bear transplanting." and insisted that he would not last over a year from that time. He had, as before stated, se'scted his own burial place. The surviting family bav the sympathy of the entP e neighborhood.

At the St. Helens htttel, St. Helens, Sunday, January 3. by Rev. Burlingame. Mr. John Scott and . Mr. M. J. McNulty. PERSONAL. - Mr. Isaao Wingard, a prominent citi zen of Ceatralia, Wash., ha been spending a weok in this city under Dr. Damn's care, for catarrh. To a reporter of the Oregouian he Tela ted his ex perience with Dr. ' Damn, which, toaay the least, ia very complimentary to the doctor, and aatisfactory to him self. We quote hie own word : "For eighteen yesrs, prior to calling on Dr. Darrin four year ago, I. had been one of the greatest sufferer . from asthma and bronchitis known to the medical profession. The moet of tbe time I was incapacitated from work of any kind, and my suffering were terrible. Mr. Qnimby, of tbe Quimby house, Port land, saw me when I came to the Doo tor. Now he can vouch for my good health, as I have been a guest of hi hotel the past week. I am now free from asthma, and have no bronchial trouble. I can walk up and down stair aa well a any man of my age. I cannot epk too highly of Dr. Dr riu's elect rio and medical treatment. A number ot my friend have been cured by Dr. Darrin of different chronic diseases, - Sefer your reader to me. Y Mr. Wingard' case i certainly re maskable, and it only one oi the many thai have come under our observation, and should go far to establish Dr. Dar rin 's reputation a one of the foremost electriciana of the age. While Edison excels in the application of electricity to machinery. Dr. Darrin ia master of the eleotrie art in its application for the cure of disease. The throngs of people thai besiege hit offices at 701 Washington street is proof of hi hold on the people'a confidence. Private carriage are often seen stand ing ia front of the dootor't office.
