TOST OFFICE HOURS. On Sundays the office will be kept open from 9 o'clock to 12 a. m. Mail: close going West at 0 o'clock a. m., East at 12, at N letters mailed after that time. A. Y.Boyck, P. M. Ulysess Jackson asserts, and we ' thinks he is about right, that nearly all tliQ wheat in the Tualatin Plains la killed or so badly damaged that it will not make a crop. ' Mr. Jack son has 110 acres that is tilled and his timothy is badly injured. Messrs. Black and J. R. Porter's wheat near the Grove is killed the former hav ing 120 acres. Sam Hughes timo thy was lit rally spewed out of the ground and Sam thinks of gathering up the roots and going into the gun ny sack business. Tin re i some consolation in these losses by the freeze: they fall on the men who Trebest able to bear them. The Hons of the mia-1 farmers in the woods are all right. Wherever ..cohl east wind had full sweep ) 'vheftt is mostlv dead. the tho i ... ."H'oitsk BuiixT. Recently in Vbscence Mr. Harmon's house n the Xotisignot lake caught fire from the chimney in the night ami burned up with all the household effects. The boy who was living in thehous wben, be. found it was a fire weut to his uncle's d willing near by and went 4o bed with one of his cousin' and sail n th;ng about tho lira be cause he did not like to disturb the folks when it was so damp and chil ly out doors. - - - Horses Di:i. Lat week J. D. Rowell of S holis Ferry lost a fine juare "which died from a wound made iy a snag, and the first of this week his fine stallion ran a nail into hi foot from the effects of which he died Tuesday valued at $300. And last week a young man living in the H.ima neighborhood also lost a horse. And A. T. Smith of Forest Grove lost a fine span of horses last week which died of stomach stag gers. The series of meetings conductod by the Rev. J. W. Miller at Cornel ius closed last Sunday night when six more persons applied for admis sion into the church, making twenty-three that have joined the M. E. Church at that place during these meetings. To of the new converts were baptized into the church by affusion by Mr. Miller last Sabbath. Sheep Killed. On last Sunday west of the Grove on tho foothills "MVa "Rnson's dona killed 16 head tit uliPPIl for Mr. Bacon (colored. ) These same dogs killed 10 lead for Put Smith. A man in the neigh- borhood killed the dogs. A few days since a boy rode one 'of Mr. Boyd's fine grays over au ax that was lying on the ground. The ? animal stepped on the end of the .handle and the ax flew up aud cut a terrible gash in its leg which will probably maim it for life. Last week we understated the ;alary of the Congregational minis ter at the Grove by a hundred dol - Inn;' He gets $460 from the East , and $G00 have been subscribed to him at the Grove. Expelled. James Burton of Yam hill county was expelled from Tual atin Academy at at the Grove re cently for general misconduct. Fbaxk O'Connor of this place jumped upon a broken , bottle last week Jind cut a deep and painful r ground in frifoofejfi , ? i ; , Ulyssess Jackson lost two sheep last week by the wolves, m,' TILLAMOOK CORRESPONDENdl New Mines Discovered. Tillamook, Feb. 23, 1875. Kd. Independent; I was mucii surprised on my way home from your county to find only a very little snow on the summit of the CdlMt range. The road is in good order, and travel is increasing fast. On arriving in the valley I found a great excitement. A ledge sup posed to be rich in silver had been discovered near this valley. A com pany of twenty-five men are at work on this ledge drilling and blasting and developing the mine. They will send some of the rock to Portland to-morrow to have it assayed ia the mean time thd company will contin ue work as they have entire faith that the ledge is rich in silver. The excitement here reminds me of the spring of 1802 when the Florence mines spread such a fever among the people.. You can see men with picks and shovels, blankets and cooking utensils on their backs pressing for ward and every man struggles to get in the lead. Oregon may yet furnish as rich mines as have yet been" dis covered. Why not mines here on the Coast range, which is continuous with the coast mountains in Califor nia so rich in all the valuable met als? Stock of all kinds is coming through the winter in good condi tion. The gir.ss is green and grow ing. But little feeding has been necessary this winter. The farmers are plowing and sow ing grain. Their winter wheat and oats look well, not having been in jured in the least by the winter. Tillamook. Glcncoc Items. Ed. Independent: This little town is sadly in need of a suitable place for holdiug couit. On the 20th iust. a suit Stewart vs. Mrs. McKay vva tried and the plaintiff nonsuited for some irregu larity iii serving papers. The plain tiff as near as I can et at it served a summons without the ffijial hig uature. A new trial was granted howev. r, and is set for March 1st. Mrs. McKay i well known here and is an honest woman. I trust that her many friends will sympathize with her in her trouble. We expect to have a carding ma chine in running order at Glencoe soon. Th;s is one step forward. Business is lively here and our town shows signs of improvement and growth. S. W. Dale is stacking a lot of lumber in the town and the people are excited to know what he intends to do with it. The sober people of Glencoo have decided that they w'll have no sa loon after tho fiist of March. So we all say, welcome, March! OiJSEnvun. Justice Cave wanted some timber for hoe-handles the other day and not finding any in town he took a meat-ax and Finney's Pledge ham mer and started fcr the woods. He tackled a burl' oak and chawed it down. He took off a cut and began to split the thing. He drove in the ax, then fourteen wooden wedges, broke his a and sledge-hammer handles, skiunett his hofie and both shins, ran a hazel bush into his off eve and came homo bareheaded, frothing at the mouth and jumping stiff-leased. He savs that the Grang- ers may go to the wicked old gentle man for their hoehandles after this Mr. Toxglts has been "pestering our lilneksmiths about t' e lest mode of ringing ho-js' noses. Cave says the best way he knows of is, with a moderate sized bull dog, time about 4 o'clock a. ni. when the hog is stirring tho garden. Most any man has the nerve te stand by then aud see the job Well done. A wbitino school is in full blast at nnw niMi 33 memters James Montgomery as teacher. He is well finnl-pn tt in Una canttClty Also a singing school is taught by "Si Williams of Forest Grove. The Game Law is not understood on the Wapato lake, 'some claiming that they can hunt as much as they please which may prove rather dear sport about court time. Friends, send in your items befo:e Wednesday. Greenville' Items. Qkeexville, Feb. 21, 1875. Ed. Independent: As the Inde pendent is favorably received in this neighborhood an item or two will not be out of place. The wheat in this part of the coun ty is not all killed by the freeze but many fields ?re badly injured. The late Trosty nights have injured the wheat more than the hard freeze. Business in and around Greenville is improving since the first weather began. J. F. Pierce our accommodating merchant is always ready to attend to the wants of customers, especial ly if the customers jingle the cash on the counter. J. F. thinks that customers should spend their cash where they run their faces. Ben Ingles is pounding away in his shop like anv son of Vulcan should and thinks that ha will do well this spring since the farmers are getting new ltarrowi. A slight difference of oi' Jnion and they say honest men may some times differ between two of our neighbors occurred recently. No. 1 called No. 2 hard names. No. 2 struck No. 1 with an ax haudle. No 1 picked up a chunk of a shillaly, when lo and behold No. 2 w is 6een doing some tall walking about 17ft. at a Btep and gathering the steps very quick across an adjoining field. Two reverend gentlemen have been holding a series of meetings at tho Wilkes school house. There was quite a large congregation last Sab bath. Some came a horseback, some in wagons. I noticed one turn-out, a stately ox team of eight fat steers hitched to a light spring wagon filled with ladiejnnd gentlemen and driv en by an experienced teamster. The roads are bad but those steers kept the thing moving. Cattle, I believe as a rule are genteel so it is hoped that the party got home safe. Rev. J. W. Miller preached avsry interesting discourse to a well filled and attentive house last Sabbath. A Sl'dscuiueu. Wooley District Items. Ed. Independent: In the "Wooley district there are come girls going to school who, on their return home.are met at the end of a long lane north west from the school house, by some boys of the hoodlum genus, who wait there until school closes to es cort ftJd girls home. Now we like to see boys polite, but we think that they Would show more manhood if they would go to the scho.d house for the girls instead of hiding and and sneaking around at some half- wav ulace. The mothers of these girls and boys should teach them how to behave themselves at home before they send them to the public lie for a laughing stock for the lookers-on. At the last debate in tho Wooley district tha society elected Mrs. Liza Wx'olev, Miss Olive Meek and Miss A. Hanley, judges. The subject debated vas, Jiesolvcd, That Capital punishment should be abolished. The question was decided in the af firmative. The question for the next debate is, Jlesolved, That gold has had more influence on men than wo men. Columbia Academy. Feb. 25th, 1875. Ed. Independent: In justice to Cornelius, I would say that your cor respondent was mistaken when he said that the "Cornelius hoodlums" disturbed the spelling school at this place. One of the parties lives in Centerville district, one at Hilisboro, and the other is a Glencoeite. . Wai. H. Parker. Elected. The Washington Co. Council Pi of H. at the last meeting elected the following officers to serve for the ndit year: Ulyssess Jack son, President, R A. Carpenter Vice President; H. C. Raymond, Sec.; T. D. Humphreys, Treaa; Jas. W. Gib son, Steward; E. H. Warren, Door Keeper. Farmers cemfl from the Grove and even from Dilley to get their wheat ground at the Hilisboro flouring mill. The reputation oft his millis grow- i6' Jake Anderson took his first les son in painting last week and kicked over a bucket of paint to begin with. Stttocribe for the Independent. Agricultural Society. Feb. 27th. 1875. Hoard of Directors of the Wash ington Co. Agricultural Society met at the Court House. Called to order by the President, R. Imbrie. The Committee to whom was referred the Premium List for 1875 reported. Nearly all premiums in the Agricult ural, machiuical and ladies' depart ments were increased. The premium on best five acres of wheat, oats, r e, corn, barley or flax was raised to$20. Messrs. Imbrie, Jackson and Pittcn gcr were appointed a committee on buildings, (ft is the intention of the Society t9 tear down nearly all the old stands and erect new p.ud better ones.) The following named per-" sons were elected Superintendents of the different classes. Class No 1. 2. 3. 4. 5 Ben Cornelius H. Boyd. T. Withy combe Geo. Naylor . . .T. D. Humphreys Henry Vooley E. H.

On motion all the privileges of the Fair Grounds were extended to Riley Cave at the fair to be held Sept. 27, 28, 29, 30, and Oct. 1, 1875. Temperance Items. Lat Week W. R. Dunbar, G. W. C. Templar of the State organized Columbia Academy Lodge with twenty-two charter members. W. H. Parker, W. C. T.; Mary Markee, W. V. T.; J. E. Btindy, W. S.; A. Tongue, P. W. C. T., and E. E. Fanning, ti. D. It is said that "many young men who had been drinking a good deal of late have united with the above Lodge. And we are credibly in formed that tlie saloom keeper at Glencoe has made a solemn promise that ho woud close his saloon by the first of March and never would sell another drop of liquor ddrin-j his life. And we hope that he will stick to his resolulion. Lat week at Garton the old lodge was revived and reorganized and will work actively now. One of our citizens in this place it is reported, who has been a hard drinker,, has quit bU cups and has united with th Order of tho Golden Rule. The temperance army has made a general advance all along the line in this county whereat there is great rejoicing among the brotherhood and all virtuous citizens. fiedar Mill Hems. Ed. Independent: A negro in this neighborhood has suffered not a lit tle from frozen feet. Returning from Portland one night during tho "cold snap" in au intoxicated condi tion he lay out'the greater part of the night on the snow and froze his feet. His white brother went homev and left him alone in his glory. A widower in this vicinity, who has a farm and raises produce without any fence, keeps off the neighlors' stock by shooting them with shot. A bill ef costs will probably learn th fellow a thing or two. Some young b!oods who went to a dancing party near here recontlygot gloriously drunk. Would you like to publish some of their names? Some of the school " boys in the neighborhood resort to the school house on Sunday's for amusements box, wrestle etc. etc., with a "prora nent" individual as President. Such are some of the pernicious influenced in our community to cor rupt the morals of our youth. The wlJeat in this part of the coun ty was not so badly injured but that it will make a jstand. Vebax. President Mirsh preached at Dil ley last Sabbath at 11 a. ni., to a large congregation. Dr. Hjatt lectured in the evening on the 'Im mortality ot the soul-" The Doctor is an Advcntist. In his lecture he replied to certain arguments previ ously presented at tl at place by Rev. Mr..Ballock of the Primitive Bap tists. The young man named Smith who has been sick in this place of tho eonsumption died last week and was buried Sunday near Sol Einer ick's place. County Court in session full re ports next week; ' TTIElxl ABB 170 DEAD. Tis sad to see the faded leaf ThiH late, amid iU leaf j friends, Sported on high, above belief That. on the earth its life should end. Tis sad to see ibe rushing brooks That thoughtless babble as they flow Still further from their quiet nco'xs Of sparkling youth, to fall below. All naiure like a mirror sends An image back of transient joy; We grieve that that should ever end That once has been our life's employ. The deafert ties, the swee!t hour. When past, but fill the eyes with tears: E'en friendship's bond has not the powe r To hold its joys through severing years. Nor yet for sadness is the past: To future years it treasure yields. And proves the soil from whence at last We gather weds for heavenly field. As dying nature, ebbing life, Shall soon revive, shall soon reflow. Eternity is the end of life And future joy of present woe. X Forest Grove.
