Various ideas were given as to what it was, when one gentleman remarked : "That is a Columbiaa county commis sioner inapooting bridges and railroad crossings." " It tempt a follow omo lime to incite riot wben ho thinks of the short ness of the pant summer teuton.

His consci ence would not permit a very flatter ing report and the conference prompt ly decided to withdraw tho appoint ment. The othor one. however, had lis eye on a three thousand dollar church, and although tho reHiills of his labor were identical with the first, tlmt is, one convert.

Patron of the Pittsburg and Ver nonia postofllco aro justly indignant on account of tho delay in transmit ting mails from this place to those offices. The whole troublu is between here and Ifoulton, from winch office the mail starts to Vornoniu, and tho remedy suggestod is to dispatch the mail from this offloo instead of llotilton. Under the presont time schedule a letter is two days en route from hero to Vornnnia, and one whole day it required for it to reach Iloultc.ii This should not be. The mail could easily bo disputehod from here in lime to connect with the carrier t Ifoulton or sent straight through from this of fice Before tho Ifoulton office wa croatod tho mail went through from bore in ono day, and the same sched ule could obtain now. We trust the postoffioe authorities will give this matter their favorable consideration at onco. ' Telegraph Odloe DlaoonMnned. Manager Hayes, of the Pacifio Pos tal Telegraph Company, gave notice Wednesday that ho had decided to discontinue their office at this place and establish an offleo at Warren, giv ing as a reason for doing so that the loop or exlemion from Milton to this point ia too expensive to koop up for the amount of business the olhco does. Thit action is a very poor piece of businctt policy on tho part of the company, and will work a real hardship upon the people of this place. Tho office ha boon vesy woll patronized and we could not do with out it without serious inconvenience. We cannot afford to let, the offleo leave here, and a petition asking the com pany to reconsider it action will bo circulated and everybody ia asked to ign it, and prevail upon the company not to deprive us of this valved con vcuienco. A peculiar accident occured at the Portland Exposition last night which will doprive the great show of any ...imin thia season.

To Illustrate what I wish to say, 1 want to tell a story. Last fall I learned from a friend of mine away out lu Southern Ore gon that a friend of his who wus not very Well Ve.rsnil in nolitici or conomien. hull called upon him with great earnestness one morning ana sain be wanted to talk Willi him.

IS KKHPONHE, Rainier, October 9, 1893. To the Ebitor : 1 n last week's issue of Tub Mist I noticed, with pleasure, you ask for communication on educational mat ters, and especially invite touchers to contribute. I believe this to be a step in the right direction, and trust that thu teacher of Columbia county will avuil themselves of the opportunity thua offered fur an interchange of idea. Isolated as wo are, it is impracticable to organise teachers' meetings such as are in vounu in older and more thickly settled communities, and as to educa tional journals, though they may have, anil doubtless have, a proper place on the tuac.liur s dusk, thoy cannot take tho place of the local journal in im parling enthusiasm and love lor the work. To know that the author of an article has an entity, thut be is a real nud not an ideal peraon. that he is struggling Willi, or perhaps has con quered the very thing thut is puzzling us nil, uilds zi.'hI to our labor not ob tainable from a work written at so much n line. I hail this innovation with pleasure, and trust that it may prove to bo gratifying not only to teachers but to the public in general. Your Truly, W. A. Wood. NEWSPAt'KH NOTES. A Western editor, in answer to a complaint that news was scarce, uil vised his complaining subscriber to read the bible, which, he had no doubt would bo news to him. Three newspaper offices were recent ly demolished in a Kantaa cyclone, and the editor of one of them in men tioning the fact remarked that "even the Lord' chosen sometimes get it where the chicken got the ax." A level-hoadcd judgo, of this state, in dismissing a libel suit against a newspaper, eaicl, "whenever a news paper linds a case of flagrant wrong doing and evil it is it duty to expose it and give it the widest circulation." An Eastern editor says that a man got himself in troublo by marrying two wives. A Westorn editor men tions the fact that, a good many men have done the samo thing by marry ing one. A Northern editor say that a number of his acquaintances found trouble enough on barely promising to marry and going no further. A South ern editor says that a friend of his wus bothered enough when he was simply found in company with another man's wife. " Grand Maaquo Ball. A number of our dance-loving .citi zens have decided that a musqnerade bull shall be one of the social evonts of the near future, and will give one of those enjoyable affairs at their fine new opera hall on Friday night, Oct. 27th. Fverything will be provided to make the affair a pleasing success and those who will bo so fortunate lo to attend aro assured a most enjoyable time. Particulars will be announced later. The Tattler. What is a tattler? A vile leech, sapping the lite blood of human happiness. A black, greedy vulture, feasting upon the carrion of society. A busy-body who list ens gleefully to anything harsh you may soy of your neighbor, cither pettishly or in a joke, and then carries it. magnified and patched up to suit himself, and pours it, scorching hot, into the ears of your best friend, perhaps, and after succeeding in setting him or her to say something equally harsh', leturns to vou laden with his fuel lo the smouldering tire. Thus little by little, ti,n irhmil of human aocietv filches tne hap piness of human friendship and develops between tlio kindest oi neignoors ami frmnilM a feelinit of hatred which should be known onlv to the bosom of demons. Are you a tattler? Do vou sow amount your neighbors the seed of discord and hate? If so, in the name of humanity, let us beg vou to desist. We are all liable to err, all too apt lo say hi a moment of sodden namsion or In a sill v Ioke, things, whieh an (nine afterwards, in a iiinniflt of cool re flection, we may heartily wish unsaid.

Mis May Vaughn is recovering from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Oust Lang is erecting a commodi ous rosidence on hi Bcuppoose creek farm. Mr. O. Haltzer take the seclion hands in place of Kced, who doe not like Oregon. The fruit crop promises to be a good yield, but the wet weather is spoiling much of it. Land grubbing is going on with vigor hero, in fact, there is nothing else to do just now. Much cord wood yet remain in the wood to be hauled out when the weather eottles. Trof. M. V. Itork lectured at this place yesterday. Owing to stormy weather the attendance wa small. The movement to organize a brass band is gaining strength right along. There is plenty of wind here, all we need i the brass. Harry and W. W. West, of thi place, aro doing the East and the world' fair. They report the fair to be a dazzling affair. Our precinct has a email delegation at court thia week and we are glad of it. More work and less courting would make better time all around. Lowland hay harvest is only half saved a yet and no prospect for so curing any more thia season. We must clear up more timber land for tame hay meadow and quit the wild gras lor hay. The steady down pour of rain for the week or two past, ha put an end lo all visible mean of support for our people, and if there are any more calamities yet to come we should await them with patience. DUEK ISLAND. C. Cordes, of Ifoulton, fsdown with his threshing machine and cleaning up some fine oats for Muckle Bros. What has become of our Caiman corres pondent? We would be pleai d to see a renewal of news items from there. Miss Luella Merrill is home on a r'l'd from Oregon City, where she has bee.i clerking hi the postoflice of that city. Nine months of winter and three months of fall; no summer at all, is an old nda;;e, and can truly be applied to this season. A heavy wind and rain storm struck here last Thursday night, that seemed for a time to be a "typhoon," but done no dam age, as fur as known. D. W. Freeman and son Joe, from Fish hawk, were visiting friends and relatives here the first of the week. They visi.ed the Portland exposition and report tbe ex hibits as bcin grand. J. M. tipurveon is at present staying at A. A. Merrill's with whom he is a partner. Mr. Spurgeon Is a-strong republican, but one of tlio.e mea who is willing to dve a good business man a good honest ballot even if he be a democrat. The tomato crop, as far as known, will bs a failure. Though no one is making a specialty of tomatos, yrt every farmer I. as a small patch for home use. and, generally, a few to spare. The lateness of the spring and the eariiness of the fall rain will have a bad effect on the crop. Almost every hobo who travels this road has a diil'erent scheme for werking upon the sympathy of the public. The latest cheme we have noticed is two fellows go ing the rounds, one carrying a crutch, and n hen nearing a house one would limp along and beg. then tbe other would take bis turn. We also noticed a man wi n only one arm and an empty alcevo on the side, while tho member that t-hould be in the kIcuvo was buttoned down under tbe vest and into his pants. Circuit Court Notes.
