Judge MeBride on Saturday rendered a decision dissolving the temporary injunction issued three weeks ago in the suit of Uoiden liar greaves and others against E. 0. Mad dock, ex-sheriff, to restrain the sale of property for delinquent taxes. The decision is in effect that the failure to make a tender of the tax admitted to be justly duo prevented the plaintiff from getting relief in a court of equity, though the echnieal provisions of the law had not been complied with by the sheriff This is tho suit instigated by Charles Meserve of the Knterprise because the the publication of the delinquent .tax list was' given to The Three Sisters and not to him.

Bost Ms Commnifls F. E. Donaldson, Were Foolish. Mrs Mary Jones, aged about 00 years, and her daughter, Annie, 20 years old, were on last Friday ail judged to be imbecile and committed to the insane asylum of Salem. They belong to tho family of Thomas Jones, of Beaver creek, a drunkard, and neighbors say they had been s arved into imbecility, though the examining physician says they have been thus alllicted more or less through their whole lives. They wore most repulsive creatures, and had to be outfitted with new clothes before they coul 1 even betaken to the asylum. There should be some law to make a man support and look after his t'nmily. The Joneses formerly had a ranch but it was sold for a debt. Grand Fai.i. Oi'exisu.

Cki.ia Goldsmith. Sweetness Put a pill in the pulpit if you want practical preaching tor the physical man ; then put the pill in the pillory if it does not practise what it preaches. There's a whole gospel in Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills ; a " gospel of sweetness and light." People used to value their physic, as they did their religion, by its bitterness. The more bitter the dose the better the doctor. We've got over that. We take "sugar in ours" gospel or physic now-a-days. It's possible to please and to purge at the same time. There may be power in a pleasant pill. That is the gospel of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. More pill particular! Sent free. J. C. & w vs LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. I Miss AdMiu Clark n'turno'I from Salem Siiturduy.
