Brownsville. like most other things
and places, lias two sides to it ; and as
South Brownsville has not yet been
able to convince North Brownsville,
and rise reroa, tliat onp side Is better
than the other, of course my opinion
would not be of much value In the
pre mi iea; If South Brownsville says
it is warmer there in Winter, North
Brownsville says it is cooler there In
'Summer; and If North Brownsville
says we can walk ' upon our pretty
hills to view the fair surroundings aiid'
inhale the health-giving breezes; South
Brownsville rejoins we liave the level
ground for a race-track, or for base ball
practice ; so taken together, you see.
we can suit the tase ot the most fastid
ious.
But as South Brownsville is Browns
ville proper, it must first claim our at
tention'. It is, I believe, one of the
oldest 'settlements In ' Linn county,
being located partly on the original
donation claim of Alexander Kirk and
James Blakely. Mr. Kirk sold his
entire farm a few years ago, and now
resides at Weston, Umatilla county,
Oresrou. Mr. Blakely still resides on
his fine farm near town. The town
contains three general stores, one of
which has done a srootL cnntlnnraia

a prosperous school in charge of Rev

neat churches, belonging respectively
to the M. E. Church, Presbyterian,
United Presbyterian and Christian de
nominations, each Laving a resident
pastor. The M. E. Church, during
the last season, erected a neat par
soimge. The M. E. Church South
also have an organized church here,
with Bev. J. E. Bradley as pastor.
The Cumberlaud Presbyterians too
have quite a large membership, with
Kev. W. 11. Bishop as pastor. , For
some years past the M. E. Church
has maintained a flourishing Sunday
School, under tiie superlntendency ot

NOTCH BY THE WAT.
Passing along the foot-bills in the
direction of Brownsville, the .county
presents a cheerful aspect showing
rapid growth end Improvement in ell
the branches pertaining to agriculture.
Brownsville, too, gives evidence of
growth and advancement, and im
provements ot various kinds are to be
seen in almost every pert of the city.
New buildings are being erected, side
walks put down, and other marks of
thrift, showing an abiding faith in the
future of the city, and all adding to
its size, beauty and convenience. ; An

rapidly assuming the proportions and
putting on the airs of a city. : An ex
cellent school, under the direction ot
Prof. Gilbert, one of the best educators
and most fluished scholars In the State,
with an average attendance of eighty
pupils, we believe, is onf of the attrac
tions of the city. Ttie high moral
and literary attainments pt the citi
zens of Brownsville are due in no small
degree to the efficient labors of Prof.
Gilbert.
A series of protracted meetings have
lately been held by tin Baptists, result

State ; In fact, on the entire coast the

BOPS.
Quite a number of citizens en the
north side are making extensive prep
arations for- planting hops during the
coming seasou. This loacation has
been pretty well tested In former
years, and found to be excellent for
hop raising. They mature without
injury from blight or early frosts. A
large crop ot superior hops Is confi
dently anticipated in this vicinity the
coming season, and as the article is in
demand and readily brings the cash,
we hope their anticipations . may be
fully realized. . . , .

Several
trr,zomhf1ltme are totaled here, an of
whom seem to be doing a good busi
ness and running large stocks of goods.
A fine scliool Is taught here by Rev.
W. B. Bishop, which is in a flourish
ing condition, - with an attendance of
sixty or? seventy scholars,, and. .the
promise of a steady Increase. - The
residents generally seem to be pros
perous and happy. The general health
of the town and vicinity is very
good, while other portions of
county are lew favored In this respect.
Passing from this point to
BARBISBL-RO,
A distance ot sixteen miles plus x
(which means that the distance Is
altogether owing to the season ot the
year or the condition of the roads at
this season , of the year the. distance
would seem orach greater,) on every
side oT the road indications of thrift
and prosperity abundantly abound.
Everywhere farmers were busy im
piovlng their farms and making prep
arations for the coming seed-time,
when an Increased acreage will be
seeded. On my arrival In Harrisburg
I found business not overly brisk.
One cause of the quiet In business cir
cles was the absence of the steamboats
which usually make regular trips up
the Willamette, during the winter sea
son, to this place. The Ohio, made
one trip during my stay (the first of
the season), carrying away about sixty
tons xf freight. There Is . a large
amount of grain, wheat, oats, etc..
stored at this point. It the river ware
bouses, awaiting boats to carry it-, to
market. . Wheat; Is very low a( pres
ent In this market commanding but
60 and 55 cents per bushel, and dull
sale at that. The wheat rings here and
at Portland have it all their own way,
consequently business of all Jdndsis
dull. . .. . . ...
Here Is another flourishing school,
with about one hundred scholars in
regular attendance.
A comfortable church edifice had
been erected and Just finished, and
the dedication services were had dur
ing my stay. As usual In most enter
prises of this character on this coast,
the ladies deserve the greatest share of
credit for the success of the enterprise.

starving. Kansas. On Monday
Mr. Wyatt, Agent for Wells, Fargo
4 Co. in this city, received a tetter
from General Superintendent John J.
Valentine, San Francisco, enclosing a
mans subscription list, headed by a
statement of the starving condition of
the citizens In portions of Nebraska
and Kansas. In the letter Mr. Val
entine urges the necessity of immedi
ate action In securing help for the
starving and naked people In those
States. He says the statement which
beads the subscription list is no Idle
story, but oue that Is exceptionally
worthy of consideration. "It is not
exceeding the actual facts to say that
women and children beseech relief
from bitter dUtress, and question
jrrovKience because their prayers are
seemingly unlieard or unansweied.
The present need of the sufferers Is
not only urgent, as has been set forth.
but 'vlll continue tor the next four
months, therefore we entreat our
agents and all who sympathize with
misfortune, to give instant heed to
this appeal, and to continue their ef
forts personally and persistently
All money or clothing for the sufferers
will be carried by Weils, Fargo A
Cp.'s Express company to destination
free. . Mr. Wyatt lias the subscription
list mentioned above at his office, and
will be pleased to recetvr slgftati
accompanied by donations of money
or clothing. There seems to be no
doubt, now, that utter destitution pre
vails In Kansas and Nebraska, and
the tearfully cold weather of the last
few days, has only added to their suf
ferings. Our utlzens have only to
know that this Is a real call upon their
charity, to make them loosen their
purse-strings and give with a liberal
hand. Let all who can spare give
freely and at once, that the money
may speed on Its way to give life and
renew hope In the breasts of those un
fortunate people. Call at the Express

Dreadful Accident. Last Satur
day, as Mr. . Washington Lines was
returning on foot from Jefferson to
his home near Miller's Station in this
county, and while upon the long trestle
that spans the Santiam bottom this I
side of Jefferson, he heard the train
coming, and stepped out on one of
the stringers to get out of harm's way.
At the end ofthe stringer was a barrel
of frozen water, agaiust which Mr.
Lines was leaning. All at once the
barrel slipped or gave way, precipitat
ing him to the ground, some twenty-
five feet, resulting In breaking his
right arm near the wrist, dtslocatinr
his thigh, bruising other portions of
Ms body and shaking him up fearfully.
A party passing shortly after found
and assisted him In reaching Jefferson,
wnere proper medical attention was ,
at once given him. It was a fearful
fall, and the wonder is that he did not
sustain greater Injuries.

A Joke A4 story b told on
couple of citizen of Linn county, "one
of whom Is a J. to this effect: A
quantity of fowls were wanted ' for a
certain grand occasion, and the Com-
inittee" were doubtful about obtain
ing them in the usual way. However,
after mature deliberation, they hit on
the following admirable plan. 'An In
dian in the neighborhood, somewhat
noted as a good purveyor," was em
ployed to procure a certain number of
fat chickens, and at the same time a
hint dropped as to where they could
be obtained. The fowls were forth
coming In due time, and appropriated.
.But a very snort time elapsed after
the disappearance of the fowls, before
the SI wash was arrested, charged with
stealing chickens, and brought before
one of the "Committee," the aforesaid
J ustlce ofthe Peaee, for trial. Guilty
or not guilty ?" said the stern and In
flexible Judge. "Guilty," responded
the Si wash. "If that l tho m
said the Judge, with severe justice ir
