While waiting for his arrival, they sat behind the atove and stole many a aly plum pudding kiss. On the arrival of the dark the gentleman was sent for some one to make the proper affidavit, although the young lady, considerable past age, had bar fathers consent In order to be aafe. When the license was drawn op, the young man remembered that be had not a cent to hia name, on his way here, his team having ran away and causing the expenditure of a dollar or two, emptyiag his pooketboek, ao he borrowed the re quisite amount and paid the fee, when they all adjourned to the Treasurer's of fice, where the justice was awaiting them, they joined hands, and the ceremony was proceeding when the almost groom, sud denly remembered that he had his hat oa, which he made a grab for, and got it of! just before the time to aay yea, which they both did, were declared man and wile, and then hastened to their wagon, the happiest couple in Oregen,tbeir hearts running over with joy.

The stage coming this way from Grant's Paas on last Friday night was stopped a short distance north of 23 mile house by two men, who relieved the driver (Ab. (biddings) of the express box. They did not take the mail, however. There were several hundred dollars in money in the box, $010 of which belonged to W. G, Kenney, who was aboard at the time. Sheriff Jcobs and detective Hogan are working np the matter, bat have no defin ite clue aa yet. A thorough search has failed to reveal the whereabouts of the box, Seme parties are suspicioned and arrests may be made aeon, It is dangerous to be safe new-a-days, when each things will happen in well settle-1 regions 'Jackson ville Times."

They had killed a large number of birds, and were earning through a swift place when their boat ran against a snsg in the middle of the river, upsetting instantly, and tipping them, their guns and game into the water, and then floating off. They both clung to the snag, and veiled lustily for help : but no one bearing them, Jim, who is noted for his awimming ability.finally struck on for the shore, which he reached all light. He then hunted up a boat, and after a de lay of four hours got Mr Backensto off, in every stiff and cold condition. They came to this city, and are now all right. The guns were worth $40 end $50 a piece, and haye not yet been found, and probably will not be, judging from the experience of Mr Scott and Mr Springer a year ago tms mentn in tne uanpooia, imcxs are Tory good but are costly when the risk of such duckings are run.

"Loud mouthed redundancy of expletive adjectives" is good, and would make even Carlyle take a corner seat. A young man in Albany says hs can marry any girl he pleases ; but the trouble is that he doesn't please any of them.

Lulu Riggs an Oregon horse ran, at Sao Francisco, a half mile in 48 seconds, within one second of the fastest time oa record.

A Eugene paper last week requested its subscribers to bring wood in on subscription before the rainy season set in. which was a very good joke. A man at Lebanon tne othet day with a three cent stamp on one of bis ears was seen trying to crawl into the letterbox at the post office. He was drunk.

This will offer a chance for our banters to show whether they really have killed any ducks or aot. Who will be governor of Washington, that is the question, and oae nice feature is that yea do not have to be a resident of the Ter ritory, in order to bsve an ambition in this direction.

There are indications ot a very warm po litical campaign in Linn connty this year. but it is to be hoped that candidates will hold their temper, and never forget the fact that the majority rules. A gentleman in front of Hoffman A Joseph's gave a little boy some peanuts the other day. "Now," said bis mother, "what are you going to say to the gentleman ?" ' More, lisped the little fellow. There are too manv marriages which re mind us of what a Corvallis benedict said "She couldn't get any husband, and I couldn't get any wife, so we got married." Albany young people do not do this. Some think it will be two years before the 0. and C. road is finished, as the Central Pacific seems to be in no harry. This does not sait the Deoole of the Valley, and it is to be hoped this will not prove true. "Do you think the cat engbt to be drown ed." And the young man who had been called a whole block to have that foolish question asked him, simply turned on his heel and treated to the peanuts. The Nickle Plate Circus will start in at Roseburg this coming spring. Mr. Harris is letting the public know this in various man ners, which is quite proper.

The people of the State are being afflioted by the publication of a picture of I) wight M Sabio, the millionaire Chairman of the Re publican Nstional Committee, in several pa psrs, which looked like a Portland saloon keep. er as much as anything.

Gold nuggosts are ethibited in Portland some as large as hen's eggs, which it it claimed are brought from Goer D'Alene, bat there are those who do not believe this.

If certain parties appear more cordial than usual aad greet you with an uncommonly broad smile, and a shake of the hand that makes you cry for mercy , why just set it down that be is willing to serve his county beginning en July 1st next in different ca pacities. This unwanted pleasantness is human nature, aud we are glad that we have county elections to make it crop out. Last Saturday morning twenty-six track layers on the extension, .having been obliged to qnit work, played the Pendleton act, boarded a train, and the conductor, after re ceiving instructions from headquarters, pat them in a separate car and took all to Port land except a few who got off at this city with the intention of going over to the O.

It is the province of ministers to do good, therefore we think every minister should in form himself in regsrd to Ammen's Cough Syrup, and after being satisfied that it is all that is claimed for it, recommend it ; thns lives can be saved and then taught how to save their souls.
