EUGENE CITY, KOV. C, ISSO, CITY, COUNTY AND STATE. Circuit Court. Only on divorce mit this tnrtn of Court. Groat credit if due the Iodic iu assisting to extinguub Uie lire yesterday. Geo. A. Dorrii, who liu Leon surveying in EasUrn Oregon for about seven moutlu, re turned lait week. Owing to the great fire yesterday, we are unable to give our readers m much newt as we would have done otherwise. Will Humphrey and wifu stopped a few dsjs in Eugene on their way to their future home in Roeeburg. They are happy now and we hope they will remain so. While some parties woro tcoldiug hogs at the mill in this place lost Saturday, a little boy of Mr. Wisman's accidentally full into the tank of boiling water and was frightfully scalded, dying in a few hours. Eon. J. II. D. Hcuderson and Gun. K. L. Applegate addressed the llcpublicans at tho Court Houso Monday evening, and Hon. John Burnett addressed the Democrats at Lane's Hall the same evening. Doth speakings were largely attended. A the tram was approaching Kugcno on Thursday a valtiablo horso belonging to T. W. Shelton undertook to cmai tho track iu front of the engiue and was caught in the cattle guard. Ouo of tho animal's fore legs was broken and he had to I o killed. FROM THE 3TKESZ1E. Mb. Editor: As wo of the McKenzio Valley do not often intrude ourselves upon the notice o(' your readers, we venture- to claim a space in tho columns of your estimable paper, wherein to describe the grand event of the season, viz: the exhibition and ball that closed the three mouths term of Miss Varum Babb's successfully taught and well appreci ated school. Tho exercises were announced to begin at half past six o'clock P. M., but long before that hour tho school-room, which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion, was filled to overflowing. Tho first thing on the programme was a duett by two lady vio linists. Owing to the loss of a bow it was omitted,, and we were charmed with an ex quisite solo instead. There wcro several dec lamations and dialogues by the little ones, who, considerig the limited amount of train ing received and th.eir extrejue youtlifiiliicss, did remarkably well. Too great credit can not be given Miss Iiabb for her untiring zeal in preparing them for tneir dilTcreiit parts. We feel assured that the patrons of the school were well pleased with the progress of the scholars intrusted to her care. Indeed, they gave due evidence of the fact, by pressing her to accept the position again, which she did. Although the recitations and singing were of a high degree of excellence, tliey came near being eclipsed by the crowning eveitoftlio evening, which consisted of a brilliant gymnastic performance with the con certina, and whicli was loudly applauded. Indeed I to borrow Mr. CrummleV enthusi asm, we, the audience, could have risen as one man ; but wo didn't. At tho close of the exhibition we were pleasantly requested to adjourn to tho lower hall, half a mile dis tant, where the young ladies wcro to givo a leap year party. After a brisk walk under the stars, we arrived at this elegant and com modious edilice. For somo reason unexplained, it was found necessary to demolish the gate before an eutrance could be effected. Ones inside, tho work of illuminating the hall begun, and when a kerosene lantern was added to the half dozen tallow caudles the effect was dazzling. Next fullowed calls for music, when, to our consternation, tho awful fact was revealed that wo had two tiddlcs but "nary" bow. Ready, anxious, longing to open the ball on time, we were in a dilemma. An inventory was taken, and wo wero informed that we had in eur lawful possesion two floor managers, a dozen fiddlers, as many prompters, about forty children of all sizes liberally saudwiched among the grown ups, a dry goods box and a piece of rosin.' Now, though music is acceptable enough without dancing, dancing is a simple impossibility without music, and had not the infantile part of tho company signified their willingness to supply the place of the violins, we might have been standing there yoi That demonstration decided us. i Scouts were instantly mounted on Hod steeds and directed to scour the country for miles around, for fiddle bows. An interval of half an hour succeeded, during which time our anxieties were strung up to the highest pitch. At the end of that time the scouts returned, triumphant, and wo prepared to faco the music. And alas ! I must drop my pen iu dispair, if I attempt to describe what fol lowed. A McKenzie dance must be attended to be understood. Our sons" and daughters are trained from infancy, and it has been rumored that our babies aro lulled to step by the soothing torn of the violin. We don't dispute it. The young ladies w ho wielded the bow lost night completely mastered the situation, as thoso who tripped the lignt fan tastic, to the inspiring strains of " The Girl I Left Behind Me " and "Old Dan Tucker, can readily testify. The State University was represented by a young gentleman iu light pantaloons and standing collar. Said representative appeared to be somewhat elec trified. This was evidently his lirst expen cnee at a country dance, and he employed the time faithfully in trjiK to keep out of the way. He was frequently heard to express himself as doubtful as to whether he would ret ui aliva. It was fullv four o'clock iu the morning before we could tear ourst-n away from the festivities and retire to dream land. Ami. October 29, ISSO. PLEAD CVILTY. (.'has.

LOSS ABOUT $13,000, JN.SCIUNCE ?7,000. At last tho destroying element, fire, has visited" our city and left iu ruins a good portiou of the business part of the city. The cry of fire was heard about 0:43, Friday morning, when it was discovered that the Astor lloune was in flames. Tho citizens rush ed to the rescue but with the limited facilities for fighting fire, nothing could bo done except saving tho stock in the block of wooden buildings in which tho Astor House was tit uatcd. The stock and furniture of all tho burned buddings were saved except that of the Astor Houso, which was a total loss. The following aro the losses sustained : Chas. Baker, Astor House, fcil.OOOj insur atico, ?:i,500. B. C. Pennington, f.',0:iOj no insurance. Chas. Horn $100; insured. A. Hunt, ?2o. Thompson 4, Bean and Hovcy & Humphrey $0. J. L. P.aukin, ?j0. Bcdl Jennings, 500; fully insured. A. S. Patterson, 100. B. F. Dorris, ?o0 damage in removal. F. M. Wilkins $100. A. Lynch, $100. J. J. Walton, Jr., $100. A. Lockwood, $1,400. Wm. Withrow, $50. Mrs. Kilcy, $30. Sam Rosenblatt, $100. Campbell Bros. $1,000; insurance $500. Mrs. Behrena, $1,400. Rankin & Ellison, $2,000. J. U. Ream, $100. L. G. Adair, $40. A. Fchr, $.-.00. Our citizens worked faithfully to save the buildings on the opposite side of the street and were successful. A number of ladies were faithful workers, saving goods and fur niture, and in many instances carrying water. Ccffeo was prepared by them and handed to tho workers. During tho tire Millard Sloan received a slight cut on the hand ; Mr. Card well, a student from Jacksonville, had his hand cut; Mr. Richards, a student from Port, laud, received a severe blow on the head with bucket; and Mr. R. (!. Callison had his head badly cut PIGEON SHOOTING MATCH. According to previous arrangements, the shooting match, between Dr. Osborne, of this place, and Ski Mceks, who resides between hero and Junction, for $100 a side, came off hero hat Saturday afternoon. Dr. Osborne has been engaged in quite a numberof matches and has done some good shooting, consequently his friends were confident and eager to bet Mceks is rather an amateur in the business, but the country boys and a number from Junction were willing to back him to the last. They were to shoot at 13 birds each, 21 yards rise, using not more than 1J ounces of shot. Osborne took the first shot, and, although ho hit the bird, it managed to fall outside of the bounds (SO yards) and was counted as a miss. At the first and second attempt Meeks' gun snapped and the birds got away, but these were not counted at all. At the third trial the gun fired and tho pigeon fell. Oslxirne's second bird also, unfortunately for him, fell outsido tho bounds and was counted against him. Mceks brought down his Becond in gcod shape. Things began to look gloomy for Osborne, but ho killed the third one and his friends took courage. Their hopes were shattered, though, when ho missed his fourth fifth and sixth birds, while Meeks brought down every out. Osborne got his seventh and eighth, but missed the ninth, Meeks still killing every time. Each killed their tenth pigeon, and, as it was iinpossiblo then for Osborne to w in, even if he should kill every ono of the remaining five and Meeks miss every one, tho match closed, the score stand ing as follows : Meeks .111111111 1-10. .0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 4.

UNIVERSITY ITEMS. Everybody is glad to see George Dorris the iutractable Laurean, in his accustomed place in the society nnce mere. His ap pearance was greeted with a storm of ap plause last meeting, a week ago. S. F. Chadwick, who atteuded the oni versify lost year hat been visiting Eugene. Steve expects to return to school uuxt term. C. A. Woody the Laurean president re turned from Salem Monday. Vice President E, J. Maxwell presided during his absence. Archbishop Seghcrs visited the University last Tuesday. He made a few short and in teresting remarks to the class iu History of Civilization, and also accepted an invitation from the members of the same class to ad dress them at some future timo on "Influ ence of the Church on Civilization.." Class of 79. "Seveuty Xinoj sends its best wishes. McQuinn from the rolliug plains of the Klick itat; Condon from the musty legal lure of the Dalles; Mrs. McDanirls from the trial voyago of the ship of matrimony; Misses Hayes and Cornelius from the dust of the school room, aud the crack of the rattau your humble correspondent from the shades of rural iudolenco. All write in wishing you the best of success." The above is from a private letter from the gifted but unfortunate Pearcy. We pullish it because we know the many frieuds of 79 will be glad to know what they are doing. All busy but one, and his ill health prevents bis activity. We know that his friends and schoolmates will heartily uuite with us in the wish that he will yet be able to give the world the benefiit of his genius. News Items., The Eutaxians, Faculty aud Board of Ro- gents have been invited to attend the next session of tho Laureans. Question to be dis cussed is the following: "Resolved, That the eleventh biennial sesssion of the Oregon Legislature has been a waste of time aud the people's money." Some time since tho Society decided to have a course of hcturcs on educational and scientific subjects. Tho committee ap, pointed to secure lecture, have provided for the first lecture of the course to be delivered by Dr. A. A. Sharpies of our city. We have no doubt it will be interesting. The students have been divided into di visions tor rlietoricals uuuer the several pro- fosssois, and soou tho voice of oratory w il be heard and the the wisdom of essays w ill make wise. ' ' The Political Situation. The Laureans debated the political issues of the day at the meeting before tho last. We are sorry to Kay tho debate was not a model one, and demonstrated the impolicy of discussing such questions in an assembly where somebody is sure to get mad. Our censor was not present to criticize tho be havior of the members. We kuow what his excuse is, and don't consider it a good one therefore are in favor of impeaching him. Some members who ought to know better took it upon themselves to create much con fusion by saying and doing the most silly things without the least reference to order. This illustrates the fact that even sensible people are incapable of ruling themselves, and need a ruling spirit over them. h Stranger on a Street Car. By dint of crowding and squeezing one of the Third avenue surface cars will seat twenty two men, and that number were in a car which went up Chatham street at six o'clock last even ing. At Chambers utreet a (sewing girl entered, and she was obliged to stand in tho aislo and clin" to a strap for support Tho car proceeded until the Bowery was entered, without dis charging or picking up any passengers and the woman remained standing. About the intersection of Canal street a well-dressed man, who had leen read ing in ono corner, looked up from his paper, and saw for tho first timer that a woman was aboard and standing up. Quickly arising ho motioned her into tho vacant seat, with an apology for not discovering the condition of affairs before, "You must bo a stranger in New York?" said from the opposite corner, with a plug hat, low cut shoes, red stocking, and a general song-and-dance air. "Yes," answered tho stranger, in a tone of disgust "I ara from the West; from a city where no woman can go in a street tar filled with men and ride dozen blocks without beinz ollered a seat" lhe woman Binned, the swell young man subsided, and the remaining twenty men in the car looked sheepish. At Grand street tho stranger left the car, and an apple woman got in. Be fore she was fairly inside the door five men, still smarti ng under the Western man's rebuke, arose and asked her to be seated. Xtw York Slur. ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE.
