Olcial County and City Paper. .crge Waablastes. To-day is Washington's birthday, the 152d anniversary, la the present epoch of great political corruption and chicanery it H a privilege for the American people to Rave ouo day set apart on which they can revert to the spotless career of the Father ol his Country. Would that we had a low more the nrosent time, a few more men who would bo willing to own up that they had cut the cherry tree, instead of try ing to lay it to some one else, as is the cus tom now. Wo need more men, who like Washington, will work for the good of their country, and not alone for thoir own pocket books. As the jmn pass his name seems to us to stand out in bolder relief, and is more deserving than eve of being remem bered on this the anniversary of his birth. There have boon greater statesmen, greater orators, more successful generals, but none who have combined all tho qualities that go to make np the groat and noble men, the man to be revered, to bo looked up to than George Washington. Tat snowy Vcm Monday morning a highly respected ;iiAn ohMrvsd to be In a rase over something, and on Inquiry, wo found that it was ell about that poem that begins. "Ob the snow the enow, the beautiful auow." "Dog gang her," be said, "I'd like to got hold of the woman who wrote that I'd cover her up in that drift of snow, and laare her till eke was a solid icicle. I came to Oregon to get rid of this kind of wexther, and now I'm mad." "Bat," interposed a scholarly looking friend, "a woman never wrote that, it was e man. I have positive proof that Lishe Applegate wrote it, he said so him self, sod Lishe was an Or egonian, not to be docked tinier every snow pile.' This quieted the mad man, although several continued to insist tk tt it was a woman. iiuu Exploded. One das? last week Lucius Gilbert and a younger brother, sons of Prof J L Gilbert, were hunting on their fathers farm a few miles frete Lebanon, when the gnu of Lucius on being hred,having been loaded too heavi ly exploded, several pieces of the stock bit ting him in the face, one piece cutting a bad gash on the nose and cheek,another striking jast atove the left eye, and another going directly into the right eye. The thumb on his right hand was cut nearly off. His brother put him on a horse aad took him to Lebanon where Drs Powell and Pettigrew attended him. Under excellent treatment be is improving fast, and we are glad to hear will not lose the sight of either eye ; but his face will probably be disfigured for life. To tn ratal. The San Francisco Chronicle recently pub lished an article referring to failures in Ore gon, with a discussion of the business situa tion, which is so much to the point that we publish the conclusion of it, which toads ; "The indebtedness of the Oregon business community is largely in San Francisco. During the next six months jobbers of this eity will have half of the interior merchants of Oregon in their power, and it should be borne is mind that the security of the conn try is first-class ; and 'that the present dis tress is incidental merely, and not a settled or lasting condition. By an easy and gener ous course our merchants may retain a grest business which harshness, even to a degree consistent with business justice, may direct to another field. The new northern railroad affords opportunities for other connections, and this should not be forgotten. " Cniaete Warblio. Me no likee two fleet snow, slosh urn rely much all over Chinaman's shoes.

Reports are received of the death of cattle from different parts of the county resulting rem the severe weather. Rev Frederick K Marvin, s Portland pa per stales, has resigned the pastorate of the Congregational Church in that eity. We notice that the Oregon Register pub lishes a lattery ad.

Cattle in Eastern Oregon are said to be in excellent condition, there not having been sufficient snow to affect matters as yet Seme time ago we advertised for some feathers on subscription but they have never pot in an appearance. It is not too late. The deeo soew made dock hunting ex ceedingly easy, but nearly all killed seemed half starved, and were not the best eating. The Statu Temperance Alliance convened in Portland on Wednesday. There are sev eral delegates in attendance from Linn county. A correct answer to tho hazard problem was received from Waterloo, but from whom we do not know, as fco name was signed to the letter.

We have received a prospectus of the Lueur U Alene, Ihuly Eagle. It will be issued about the first of March ia the inter est of the mineral wealth of Northern Idaho. The pavilion at the fair ground succumbed to the weight of the snow, and fell to the ground, but as J-inn county has given ap holding f sirs, perhaps the disaster will never be noticed. A Sao Francisco firm wishes to give ns s two dollar map for five dollars worth of ad vertieisg but there is no reason why we 1 should pay mere than double price for our goods, and hence ws pass Another article on the Mound Builders will be found on oar second page, written by n.

An e xchange says that $350 from one pan of sand was recently taken out at Coeur D' Alene, and yet parties who went there from this county could not get t2.50 worth of dust for $5, what is the matter.

This iss case 1 where other people's experience may be of I great service, and it has been the experience I of thousands that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the best coagh medicine ever used. Our worthy postmaster is said to have two competitors in the poetry business, one hail ing from the Court House, and tbs other being an experienced surveyor. Their ef fusions are said to be touching in the ex- I treme, and not of your sjuiet diet style. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best medicine for every one in tbe spring.

It is this very credit business that at the eresont time is giving Oregon merchants so poor s standing with San Francisco dealers. Wednesday night the water raised seven feet in this oity, making it fifteen feet above low water mark. As we go to press it is still raising at a rapid rate. The Calapoela is ou a bender and Oak Creek and other smell streams are said to be in a fearful rage. A big flood is feared, and every preparation should be made to meet it, Nothing is a greater necessity in a oity than a nnwspaper, yet there is nothing that some people take less interest in helping oj support. We know men in Albany patron ising a peper 70 miles from here who do not sdvertise in these columns sud there is no ill feeling either. This is enterprise. Hon Thomas Brennan certainly should feei flattered by his reception in Portland. It is not true that tho blacksmith shop of Louis Miller was blown up by dynamite last Sun ¬ day morning, instigatod by the presence of Brennan, as some have iutiuiated it might have.

One tn tbe city a few dafys ago said that it was duller if anything up the Col umbia. In Dayton four houses were selling out.
