Our school opened its aecoml term on the beginning of the New "Ver with a full attendance. Mr. ami Miss Jfeins have been engaged to teach another term. We have noticed through the daily re ports of the heavy snow storm that visited Portland and the northern portion of this county on the 2d and 3d inst. We feel that Providence favors this section as we have bad no snow this winter, but have bid quite a heavy fall of rain for the past week. We have often noticed in previous winters when there was a heavy snow fall all around ns that we had a light snow or none at all and however the name of Needy may im ply insignificance to strangers, it is located in the best portion of Clackamas county. Prosperity would be a more appropriate name. It received its name from the old pioneer, John M. Bacon, who settled on his donation claim in this part of thecoiimv in the early '.Vs. The mail was carried from Oregon City and distributed by the above mentioned. The mail becoming of: auchgreatimportai.ee that he notified the tvstoftice department that we were-SeedV of a postoflice in this section and r.ot sug gesting ar.v name, the department granted his request appointing the old pioneer as postmaster and calling this office Needy.

The names of the commit tee will appear later. The malady which has been prevalent in the school district south of here, previously reported, is still raging, and is confirmed to be scarlet fever and the school has been stopped. The Jr. 0. V. A. M. will hold a puhlic Installation in Saturday evening, the 12th. A good time is exi-ecleu and erervbodv is invited. The addresses w ill be made by ' a lively time to keep the rest ot his build local shakers. : :. jrom hiirninir Edin H. Yoderand Miss Ethel Wyland were united in marriage Sunday by Rev. Hughes, of the Congregational church. The groom is a prosperous young man of this county and the bride is one of Xeeby's beautiful belles. They were serenaded Mon day evening by the young men of this neighborhood. Miss Berth Hess is soon to leave for Port land to be gone the rest of the winter. Miss Pearl Ridings, of Marquam, was the guest of Mrs. gle last week. BEPLASD BIPPLES. Boads vi. Railroads Pleasant Party-A Wedding-Bad Storm. Replasd, Jan. 7. The recent snow storm has greatly damaged the orchards and the ' timber in this section. The cold rain fall ing on the snow laden limbs speedily turned to heavy ice causing the limbs to break off. j and in many instances splitting fruit trees ! in too. Messrs. Richardson and Cohn in- j form us that their orchards are almost : ruined. It is to he boied that such dam- age to orchards is not general throughout I the county. ! The roads are impassible by reason ol the i fallen timber. Mr. Mattoon, the mail carrier, reports that he was compelled to j "make road' in many places between here and Viola before he could get his horse long. The streams are all swollen by the melting snow. Among the numerous marriages that took place during the holidays, we record that of Miss Therea Orr, the handsome, accom plished daogbter of J. W. Orr. formerly of Portland. Miss Orr was united to Mr. Arstell, of Tillamook, and the happy couple have gone to the latter place to make their borne. May happiness attend them. Miss Ida Barrett accompanied her sister Minnie to Portland for the winter. Mrs. Robert Connor has been quite sick but at present is improving Mr. Krechefsky is sojourning in Portland attending to same business matters. James and Jack Fullam are keeping bachelors hall, with John Gaskill to preside over the culinary department. The recent masquerade ball at the Red- land hall wae a pleasant affair. Forty-five i numbers were sold and the maskers were a merry crowd who were determined to make the most cf the occasion, and danced till broad daylight. Tim I.inn carried off the palm for the best sustained character. The lunch counter, presided over by 0. C. Campbell was well patronized, The many friends of Alfred Kprague Jr., will be pleased to learn that his health is improving some. 8. E. Hprague's condition remains about the same, that is, he is able to sit up and apparently feels well, but his low er limbs are still paralyzed. The literary society held its regular meet ing Saturday evening. Owing to the stormy weather there were not so many present as Usual. The program, though short, was excellent. The duet by Mr. and Mrs. Berk ley, especially, being highly appreciated. The debate was spirited and was decided in favor of the free coinage of silver. The next question to be discussed is "Resolved, That Good Wagon Koads are More Bene ficial to a Country than Railroads," W. Barkley and H. D. Johnson leaders. Rev. Gillett preached here yesterday. He intends to organize a Sabbath school here in the near future. There is also talk of organizing a ladies' aid society next moutb. Hereafter Mr. Gillett will preach on the the first Sunday of the month only. Rustic, Rpringwater Items. Spbingwatkk, Jan. 5. We have been hav ing quite stormy weather for the last ten lays and the heaviest sleet with wind that J baye ever seen. It has done a great dam- age to fruit trees, and in the green timber the ground is literally covered with boughs. Kight here let the people be warned to not let the lire get in the forests next summer when it is dry or the whole country will be burned. I am afraid there will not he as much fruit evaporated the coming year as lasi. Between fifty and sixty thousand pounds were evaorated in Springwater the last fall which sold for about three thousand dollars. I have not seen it reported how Spring water celebrated the holidays. On Christ mas eve we had a Christmas tree in J. W. l.enellen's hall. Prayer was offered by Kev, Mr. Crane. Music by A I. Lewellen, Miss Ida Lewellen, Tom Blackburn, Miss Hinnie Snider and others. Recitations were given by Misses May I.eaellen, Ora Lewellcn, and Miss Valentine. Pi Herein songs, dialogues and more recitations were given. There were one or two pieces not quite proper for Christmas. Mr. Shibley made an address to the little folks, and then Santa Clans made a distribution of present. An enjoy able time was had. On new years day the old folks had a din ner given them at the church. They had a h appy time. There was a dance at C. Howell's hall on Christmas and new year nights. FROM ANOT1IKK COKKKSPONPKXT.

Miss Uertrude and Itonn Nef.ger, of Ore gon City, were visiting friends lust Monday. Miss Nefrger was one of the most promising of last year's graduating class at the lliir clay high school. She intends to adopt teaching as her future vocation, and it Is quite proper that school boards of our dis trict schools should patroniie those whose alma mater is our own city school, lor the citizens in authority very wisely strive to obtain the very ablest talent from the Eat and elsewhere as Instructors In their public institutions.
