Top Fast Rather an amusing sto ry 'is told of a young man living in South Tualatin mecinct, whoafter wooing for soma time his Sally Ann ait last brought things to a focus, by professing his love, antl asking for lier consent to "love and cherish for life' blusKingly given andaccepted, and the day set some four weeks ahead. At the expiration of two weeks the gentleman, being slightly absent minded thinking only of the heavenly joy awaiting him, fixed himself up and struck out to be spliced. But on arriving at Sally's Jiouse he was cooly informed by his gaTthat it was'ut the day; they were to go -to meeting just after the mar riage, and no change of the pro grammewas to be thought of. Slowly aud sadly the good Samuel wended his way back-home meditating on woman, and the signs of the zodiac. Again he tried it but found he was still a week ahead and the fair one was inexorable and it was no go. The misfortune of the young man .getting into the hands of his brother b;mhelois he was approached on the subject by them; whereupon, he ex plained that ho had been salmon iishing, but electrified them by sud "dently inquiring, ""When in thunder lire, we going to have meeting here." On being informed that 'the oming Sabbath was tho time, he quietly re jmrrked, "The weeks seem awful New 3Jotks! Our long web-foot winter is again upon in and we need fiomc good books to while away pleasantly the lainy days, and eve nings hours. Two of the latest ind and most interesting looks v.e know of have just been laid on our table by Mr. S. Mim.son who is the can vassing agent for them in this coun. ty. One of these books is entitled "Livingstone's Thirty years Explo rations," ami containing also the startling expedition of Stanly, of the New York Herald, who as our readers may remenber, made a per ilous journey into the hear of Afri ca to find Livingstone, which he did. All tho men, young and old, will .buy this highly interesting and val uable work. It is finely bound and .beautifully illustrated. The other Hoook, for which Mr. Munson is al so canvassing, is entitled "Tell it All," "Woman's Life in Mormon dora." This book is also handsome ly illustrated and elegantly bound :and the women will buy it of course :and the men too; for men will al ways buy u book that has anything to say about the women. We ask our readers to look carefully at these books when Mr. Munson comes around and vou will be suro to sub scribe. He will canvass Hillsboro this week. Deputy Sheriff H. B. Morgan has been appointed Deputy Sheriff o? this county. So people may ex pect at any moment to see his smil ing countennce appear he being .armed witkthe necessaryj'papes." Mr. Morgan made a good Deputy in limes past. 3Iki-xdee8tandino. Mr. Faciei en of Hie Grove built a school house for the school district in Fatton's Valley And now the Directors will not re ceive it because as the majority of them assert the house is not located where they wanted it placed. Poktablk Saw Mill Mr. Robert Moore & Co., have rigged up a ma chine for sawing wood. It consists of the horso power of a threshing machne,jack and belt. To this is attached a small circular saw, with a balance wheel and pully c framed into a table. Outside of the horse power attachments the cost is very .small, and the only wonder is that some one did not think of it before. Break-down. Whilst the funeral iirficcir who mcivi'nrf fllon" o nenr Glencoe, . last Tuesday, with tllC remains of Calvin Dobbins on their way to the cemetery, a tempoary halt caused the wagon behind the buggy of Air. W. Cornelias, in which ho had his familv to run into one of of the buggy wheels breaking the spokes all off at the hub, and to throw all of its occupants to the ground. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. Also the tongue of the wagon behind that of Mr. Cory was run through the hind-gate of his wagon. Tkial or R.iMBBiE. The Committ ee B. Cornelius, W. G. Scoggin and G. M. Raymond to whom was referred the charge against It. Im brie, preferred at the-last! Fair of the Washington Agricultural Society met at the Court Hsuse last Satur day. Mr. Raymond being absent W. R. Jackson was elected to the vacancy. Mr. Imbrie was charged with using unfair means to influence the awarding Committee in a certain case at the Fair. The committee ex onerated Mr. Imbrie from the charge preferred against him. Recovering The blooded mare "Nell," belonging to Sim Reed, is fast recovering under the treatment of Mr. Watson. All the reports of broken bones are idle rumors. We were in attendance a few moments after the casual and all the farriers in Oregon could not make us believe there was a broken bone in her body. We are borne out in this bv a num- ber of horse men who saw the mare within 30 minutes after she was stricken down. Charles Ball indicted by theGrand Jury at the last term of the Circuit court in this county for an assault with a deadly weapon on the person of John Payne, both of this neigh borhood, was arretted last Saturday by a policeman at Portland. Mr crbet mail carrier on this route as deputized to bring him out here, he now lies in the county jail. This matter will cost the county seven or eight hundred dollars, which may be charged to whiskv. Who can beat this? Dr. Bailey has laid on our table some potatoes of very large size grown on Mrs. Siouder's farm five miles from here. One of tliCKO potatoes weighed 5Alts; two weighed 10 Us. The Dr. had a few of these monster 1 'spuds' in his buggy when ho met a man just on from Vermont who inquired "what variety of squash they belonged to." These potatoes were of the variety known as pinkeyes. Claims The Coast Raxoe The In dians claim that the Coast Range ly ing between the plains and the ocean is theirs being an inheritance left them by their forefathers, and re spected by tho white men, in that it in not settled, and that the modifica tions of the game law permit them to hunt on their own lauds. They also say that they will prosecute any white maa who hunts on their illikee out of season.
