Before the aext issue of the Giuart t W mas will hare passed so to all our reader w wish a merry Christmas. Of all the red Ulter ayi m uie year, Christmas is the rosiest, ailing like a child's face peeking out of warm furs. T.at should It be if riot merry! Other uuuuays nave tbeir especial merit, but Christ mas excel thew all in richncmi and variety. tne omrsi 01 u our west f.Hu.l. ..l the holiest and happiest associations cluster around It. It U oovsred with the ivy of nearly ... Miuuunu years, ana witu iu enleinn an tiquity are blended the tneiuoriva at Forever old and yet forever yourig, Christina mies me year with the double scntr. nf religion and innocent joy. Iu pctnreaiue is charming, for it comes with the Winter, like a rose that blossoms in the snow. The winds may race over our cold, rainy street like woives on an Arctic snow waste, the rivers be frozen and the skies dark with doudsi but the cold without only increases the wartsth within. The contrast is essential to Christmas, and the sterner the reign of V intcf , the more beauti ful is the 8mnmer of the heart, the softer and sweeter the happiness of the home. Christmas does not come alone, but with a train of attending days. It looks before and after. First, there in the nltfiimnnu nf ntll: pation, cheerful preparation, deep plots for agreeable surprises and profound consultation of the domes.! cabinet Thn comes Christ mas lUelf, when all these hopes are fulfilled, tnese affectionate schemes disclosed, these won ders revealed. ' -Then w etit from the bond. given by the year, all the pretty coupon of love ana Irieudiniii. But Christmas does not end with the day. As it was preceded by the "pleasures of hope," so It la f ifowed' by the delight of ortnteut. Merry Christmas blends with Ilnppy New Kesr, ai when the rising niooa and setting sun interweave their beam into cue heavily light After Nineteen Years. Last Monday afternoon, Sheriff Seart, of Portland, received a telegram from Sheriff E. J. Sprague, of Oroville, BuUe county) Cal, requesting him to arrest McMalson, alias Carr, on charge of munler. Mr. Sear being aware that John A. Crr, well known here, formerly ailed under the name of Lyens, arrested him, aad telegraphed this action to Sheriff Sprague, asking that a requisition 1m sent. Carr ofTsred no resistance, and was Ukeu to the county jail. He told Mr. Sears that the crime for which he was wanted was 18 year old: that he wa willing to go to Oroville without the formality of a requisition; that he would pay th expenses of himself and of any person whom Sears would deputize to tako him; that he hod lieen in Oroville five or six years, ago, aud was not afraid to go again. THE ALLEGED CUIUS. A prominent citizen n? Portland who re sided in Oroville in 1802, was bunted up by an Oregonian representative, and be gave the fol lowing account of the affray: Shortly after the election in 1802, Carr, who then bore the name of McMahon, or McMaUtoue, was ap 'Hiiuted "foreign miner's tax collector" by Sheriff Mi' Id lot on, in consideration of political nervioes rendered Middleton in the campaign. In the spring of lno3 Mc.Malson got into a dis pute in frout of the International hotel with a Portugese by the name of Senchez, a Free Maim and a reputable citizen. Jn the dis pute McMalson drew a dirk, stalilwd Senchez in the breast, and started to run. Senchez withdraw the kiiife fro the wound, followed ami overtook McMalson. and was almut to stah his assailant, when a man named P-ar-rows cati','lit Senchez's hand and held it Sei-chez fell dead in Barrows' anus. McMal son was not arrested, and it was afterwards generally bflieved that the officers permitted him to esaqte. The Flood at Pendleton. From the E6t Oregonian of Pendleton w lrarn that the Umatilla Kiver at that point was the highest ever known. The damage1 to the town by the flood is estimated at over $1jO,000, over twenty dwellings, a saw mill and several business houses being awept away by the waters. Mr. J. C. Arnold, formerly of this place, loses about 51000 worth of furniture by the flood. We clip tho following: "Yester day morning l)i. Or C.
