In Yesterday's Daily GtAitn news was given of the detent, in tht circuit court, of the city, in tin- iw of "J. j.;, Itoncli i't ul vh thu City of Fugciie." This means that the cost of the im provement of Madison street w ill have to borne by thu city, Instead of the property owners along said street, on account of an error In the notice ask ing for bids, llio notice stated that "bills would lie received" etc., when the worn wiouiu nave la-en added "and contract let." Theaiiiount of lin iirovement. whicli will thus be saddled on t he city is fi,to,.u!i. iicsides thi amount, auniii jnmi on other streets have la-en pain under protest, which will proiminy nave to lie retunded. o renionstrance was tiled against said improvement, in lact nearly every property holder on Madison street signed the jH-tititur for the work to be done. .Now it seems rather tin lair (lint tne nninnceoi me city must lie taxed to pay tor tne imnrovcmeiit Another thing.

Judgment for Jb0 and sale of attached proicrty, The Oldest House in Oregon. The Ahioriiin says "The oldest house iu Oregou," is the, title of an item in an exchange, which locates that most aucient domicile in Oregon City. But there U a house io Oreuon older than that. It is a bouse not built with bands but is not eter nal in tbe heavens. It is vety solid and stands about twenty miles from this cily. It was built by tbe great designer and arch itect of tbe universe, or by one conversant with His system and plan. It was once a giant spruce tree, but two or three centur ies ago tbe top broke off. It was tben hol lowed gradually by fire, and in tbe course of years there was a hollow place inside of tbe trunk twenty feet in diameter. A wanderer who squatted and finally took up the tree claim on which tbe tree stood hewed it out and u.nde it habitable, put in a floor, door and windows, aud there it stands, the oldest house in Oregon. It was a little growth when Columbus discovered America. It was a lusty young tree when Cortez foiiud tbe Pacific ocean and stood silent upon a peak in Dai ien; its branches tossed aloft when the Puritans built tbeir cauipoody by Plymouth Bock; it was a giant of tbe forest when tbe Declaration of Independence was signed; it was huge in its growth and great iu its dimensions when tbe Columbia river was discovered. Through six centuries it lias stood and may staud six more. It is worth a visit, and till lome one else jumps tip an older struoture of human habitation the Astorian holds this to be " the oldest bouse in Oregon.", - Keal Estate Transfers. KUGKKE.
