To GRowi.Eus.-Onr weather growl ers will please notice this item: T. VT. Pittenger in this place received a letter from his brother in Chailotte, Mich., stating that on tho 25th of Feb. at 7 a. m. the thermometer stood at that place 40 0 below zero. On the same day of tho month Mr. Pittenger noted his thcrmomjter at 40 above zero, or 80 warmer than it was at Charlotte Michigan. Thos. D. Humphreys and his brothor started up the Valley in a carriage Monday to look at the coun try. They propose to go up the Valley as far as Eugene City on this side of the River arid will return on the ol her side, thus getting a gffod "view of the whole Valley. . If., A.. Lcellixq bought recently fcjie JRojrmond property consisting of " liovse two lots, for $300. H. B. Morgwt .bought the Bullock proper ty, bouse &nd three lota and owned by Judge Sh&lluck, for $450; both in this pl&ae. "We had a deluge of letters Tues day from our iteniizers, and some thing that will keep we will have to hold over for next week. Cofwev Mem of Glencoe lost 140 apres- oL wheat by freezing. Cornelius Items. Mr. Sol Emrick, recently sold "right of way" for a road through his farm to Messrs." Nester.Shaw and Clark, for $150. Ja. Clark and Dan Eumofc con template a trip to California soon. The domestic feathered tribe have decreased in numbers astonishingly during the progress the Quarterly meetings in Cornelius. : The ball at the St. Joseph hotel j was acomxlete success, on the. 22d. I George De Bord is building, vp ! Cornelius, in the shape of a large barn. Spencer's Demijohn still "nodV, and bends in the breezes," and re fuses to be coaxed down. March 8th, 1875. ' The cooper" shop is in full blast, at this place. Col.' Cornelius has a new plow on exhibition, in front of his store, t which i3 said to attract the farming community quite favorably. Prayer meetings are held ot the school house, on Thursday night of each week, in Cornelius. A hand car propelled by three Celestials, became unmanagable, and ran off the track the other day and the Chinamen went with it of course. It was a sorry runaway ; Confucius, got his mouth-piece, sad ly banged up, while his fellow work men escaped without injury, al though they were considerably jarred, by the sudden, "fetch up." Since Cornelius was "blessed" or "cursed" with an itemizcr, nobody thinks of erettiiiL drnnk. They are j very careful not to fight. They watch their horses so carefully that runa way is impossible, and in fact, it seems to be the determination of the citizens of Cornelius not to be rash if they can help it, nor give your correspondent half a chance for celebrity. Dkk Swivelllr. March 8th, 1875. j Cornelius is now blest with a Ce ! lestia! violiui it. He is the ahrac j tion for tho young hoodlums of eyc ; nings and even tho pi;jf have quit squealing in disgust since his advent. "John" proposi a to graduate as a squeal ist under him. Mr. J. Ij. Thomas, Grand Lectur er of the Golden Rule, society; t?id great credit to Liu self as a r.u!"ral orator and to that Order iu explain ing its principles, the other eveninir at this place. Bro. T t'mns will make his mark yet with a littlo prac tice. He expeets to organize a Lodge here Wednesday evening w'Uh from twenty to twenty-five cllaribr mem be r. Mr. R. McXutt has closed out the mercantile basins.-.? a:l 1 bought a farm close to Cornelius in full faith that this is going to be the Centre of of commerce within at least 200 rear. He proposes to stock his farm with chickens and geese? : He' bought four dozen old "domiivck er" roosters of Mrs. G. the other day which had been killed and boiled several time9 but wero proof ag.iinst the preachers. She did not want to part with them as thr were such lowj livers but Mc was bound to have them. Mc. has got it bad now and the hay-seed is glowing in his hair beautifully. The Boys of Liber will not ad mit the girls into their Order be cause thtir presence would stop the "bowl with a rvo straw" business, but tho Golden Rule will admit the girls and bo glad of the chance. Kino Solomon. BiterSBitteri. Cornelius, Marcli, 1875. Ed. Independent: A fellow came here sometime since and played "greeney" among our boys. He would play a gme for the "drinks," I sometimes winning and Fometimes losing. One day he showed a "twen ty" md a certain Granger said that he vs goigto "take that in," and fni greeney captured three twenties while the Granger wot trying to get ote. Then a broken down store keeper went after the greeney and came out $12.50 loser. Then anoth er Granger went after greeney and a X found ita way into the Jitter's poeket. You see, greeney was a "poker sharp" and had a soft thing wit! thes fellows. But ain't they mum ftbcmt it now though ? I , . 1 Thi robins baye come. Dilley Items. The first of April Dilley will want a good school teacher. None other need apply fir the position. ' Mr. Chamberlain has brought on a large stock of goods which he will sell cheap for cash. Mr. A. Lee's steam saw mill on Waato lake will be moved up on the Willamette above Dayton in Yamhi 1 Co. about the first of April. The Dilley debiting club discussed at its hast meeting the question, lie solved , That man is a free moral agdnt. A good nlty around heie don't believe it. ZY. March 4, 1875. Ed. Independent: Having occasion to be at this particular tfme at Dil ley I send vou these items: Rainy weather still lingers wfh us, as also "colds" which has been the general complaint throughont the winter. "NVe want something to "liven" things, something in the shade of a "twenty" for instance. Mr. J. W. Powers of Forest Grove paid this vicinity a flying visit last Saturday ttiM in the "rounds" bought several hundred cord of wood iu the tree and immediately hired bauds to cut the same-business. MarchSth, 1875. He recent rains in this, as other vicinities, have caused the grangers to "pull in tl eir horns" for the time being. As the cars were "switching ofT' a car load of hoop-poles at this place on Thursday last, the track spread apart letting trie wheels of some of the cars down in the mud. Our worthy townsman and ex blacksmith turned a summersault from the back of a cay use while try to head an unruly cow, one day last week, leaving his photograph in the road. A fine species of .the Jeer kind came out in a field adjoining town a few days since and took a "deer's eye view" of the flourishing 'burg," and then returned to the land whence he came unhurt. No law breakers iu Dilley. We are sorry to lea'n that "Cum tux" left some to mourn his depart ure not his personal friends but some who have his name on their memorandum books and they think they will know him when they see I im again. The gold fever has not as yet reached our community, though we occasionally hetfr some straggler make some remarks on the subject'. We' think there is yet time to go to the mines and wo want more substantial news from that quarter. The Lyceum will on next Saturday discuss the question, " lies tired, That conscience is a creature of edu cctin." Win. H. Black affirming and E. L. Parsons denying. Ham C.sn. - . The Statistician. The February number of this excellent monthly has come to our table. This number contains the weights and measures of every State in the Union; tables showing distance, modes of convey ance and cost of traveling on the Pacific Coast ;the Postal Regulations of the U. S. , and the postoffices on the Pacfic Slope, etc., etc. Price $2 & year. Address L. P. McCarty, Publisher Statistician, San Frnrtcisco Box 2,272. The school Directors of this dis trict have purchased a fine lot of lin en blinds and also agiosg of hat hooks for the use of the school house. The present term of school will be out in ten or twelve days when a vacation will take place until after ?ho annual school meeting. Mit. J Morgan, of Newton, has purchased a book of an agent which was represented as containing valua ble receipts. It pfflved to bte' .re ceipts for tanning. Johny proposes to do his own family tanning now. Dr. W. H. Saylok has retured to the Grove and is engaged again in the active pursuit of his profession. He may be found at the Drug Store or at the residence of P. G. Buford Esq., Forest Grove. , Tite people at Beaverton hare be un to ship tfcfetr onions to Portland. One gentleman in that neighborhood lost 50 bushels by freezing. Johx Marsh says to patronize your county paper and he bekmgs to a class who know what is fcr the ins' terest of tire county. Greenvills Kens. Greenville, Marchtkh, 1875. Ed. Independent: Item's of news in this . quarter are scarce, st'll the pe ple exist, The frost is out of the ground and the wheat is not seriously injured. The late sowing is lest hurf than the early. Mr. Dooly in 6ns neighborhood lost by freezing 150 bushels of po tatoes, 400 bushels of turuips and about 300 head of cabbage. , Quite a number of cattle haredied in the vicinity lately. J. C. Moore has lost several head, which he thinks were poisoned by eating wild parsnip. N. B. McNamera has al so lost two fat steers which died sud denly from some unknown cause. Ben Cornelius of the Grove, who bought the McDonald farm in the forks of the Creek, talks of moving on it. Ben has many friends here (and all over the county. Ed.) and of course he will do well. We have had a lawsuit also. R. Wftker sued Bellomy to recover $.". The cause was tried before Justice Whitehead, with H. C. Lieser as counsel for pi if. and E. Horner for deft. The jury could not agree and the cose was continued; The cotts will probably run up to $8$ before the matter is done. J. F. Pierce says that eggs have ! declined at Greenville but other things have declined also and the and the consumer gets about the same number of pounds as when eggs wero worth 25c. W. A. Mills of Clackamas County is paying his many friends in this, his old, neighborhood. Our boys still send valentines. Mis9. J. W. received a very 'oving one this week and of course took it ! in good part. Who sent it is the query. A Sl'CSCKIBER. COLUMBIA ACADEMY LETTER. Columbia Ada lemy, Feb. 27. Ed. Independent: On the 20tb inst. W. R. Dunk?; G. W. C. T. of Oregon, delivered A rridsterly lecture at this place on tho subject of tem perance, and organized a lddge with fifty-two charter nie'mbc'r'j. Glencoe. The saloon is closed. Midnight brawls and wild vociferations will now become obsolete, and we trust that that place will not soon have its quiet disturbed by drunken debau chees. This is a central location, aud with such enterprising gentle men as Fowler & Son that run the ntore, and with the co-operation of the surrounding community of good, honest, old fashioned farmers, this place is bouftd to becomo a town of no bad repute. Farming Will soon commence in dead earnest if the weather continues favorable. The grain that was sown in this lo cality last fall is "winter killed." Spring wheat and ready cash is rath er "skeerce." The Columbia Grange Is in a flourishing conditiou and is represented by the bone and sinew of this valley. Business is discussed Harmony prevails and Unity must be tho pass word. the Schaof Continues to prosper, attended prin cipally by young ladies and g'eMle men old e'nditgh to know "why they are going to school. More anon. P. Wonders. I wonder who the young man is who v. as in the habit of going into a drug store in this town and helping himself to the Dr.'s brandy until ho got a dose cf cayenne pepper? I wonder who borrowed a quarter to throw into the hat when there wfts tt collection being taken up, and their repudiated payment. i woAuVr xvh-at Iwo valiant boys, one ffrwed with a lamp ?d the oth er with a pistol, were ptftfotrng the streets the other night. Qkrz. And we wonder who that Hillsborc young man was who went ouf to Columbia Academy to a spelling school and conducted himself so dis gracefully that the spelling school had to be dismissed? D. M. C. Gaclt's school at this place keeps up well and has been well supported during the present term. Grove Item Many of ouV grangers Ihrve im proved the good wetther the his week or two, plowing and sowiug, and some few in our town have made-early gardens. A general set ting out of trees and shrubbery has been going on . Mr. A. Simpson, one of our best citizens, hi amoved to Salem. Mr. S. Harris is hammering away in his new. blacksmith shop. Smith & Buxton are manufactur ing a very superior article of furni ture, and are kept busy to supply tl eir increasing demands. They are enterprisiug and reliable men, and men w ho have been sold (as some have) in furniture pit up for cheap sale would do well to givj them a call. A very pleasant vo3al and instru mental entertainment was given by children ranging from five to twenty years of age, (superintended by Miss May Blank, Miss Bowlby and Jos. Watt,) on Friday evening last it the Congregational church, uetting for ty dollars and a half which was giv to a widow lady. Five persons united with Congre gational church at the Gr jve last Sunday. Five others who had made profession of conversion at the meetings had intended to unite bat when it came to the tost could not subscribe to some of the articles of faith. Mr. BenJ; KrfciiEN, who lives near the Grove, has invented a machine which quickly and easily, in tic ' hands of tho workm.iu, tun s Out ; staves completely finished for bar i rels and all that class of vessels.
