The Fourth at Greenville. Gkeesvii.lv:, July 3, 1875. Ed. Independent: As picnics have become the fashion, the Grangers of Greenville and jieigbcrhood concluded to celebrate the -99th an niversary of the Independence of the United States with a grand picnic, and I assure you the result was a grand success. Daniel Baker acted s Marshal of the day and Mr. Clark "Witcher read the Declaration of In dependence. The singing was con ducted by Miss Janie Wilson and was excellent. The committee appointed to prepare the table did their wortf itx the best style. Fora the appear ance of the table one would judge that each and everyone brought along with them a basket well filled i with dain ies. Beef, mutton, and chickens bv the dozen, were the meats on the table, pies of the best quality and such a variety of cake I never saw before. From the appear ance of things cne would conclude that the women of this place know how to get up a good dinner. 'She lay was fine with the exception of be.ng a little too warm, however there were plenty of soda water and i ? cool lemonade on the ground to 4'ieneh the thirst of those that were ' dry. Tiico wrre perhaps four hnn- J dred people on the ground and all .seemed, to enjoy themselves linelv. After dinner a few of the young and gay stepped into Mrs. Pierce's parlor and tripped t'ie light fantastic toe keeping time to the music of Master Charley Pierce's pi juio dulcimer. The music was beau tiful and the dancing easv and grace o " o ful. Ba:;n Uc' .w.d Akson-T II Tongue's barn on the S. P. Taylor eslaie, which he hrd lately bought, burned down oi Wednesday the 7th ?nst. just a'ler noon. The barn as worth about $300. The cause of the fire is not known, but is sup posed to have been the work of an inceudiary. Mr. Shuck and Mis. S P. Taylor with whom Mr. Tongue lias had some litigation about the property are suspected of the deed. They were arrested last week and brought before Justice Cave for trial but waived an examination and were bound over to appear in answer to a charge of arsoa at the next term of the Circuit Court. Discharged. Ed. Chamberlain who was adjudged insane in this county and sent co East Portland and put iu the Insane Asylum has been discharged and has returned to his his h)me in this county. Mr. Cham berlain is a good citizen and wo are glad that he is free again. He will do no one any injury if let alone. Bishop Peck's Appointments. Bish op Peck has postponed his appoint ments in Washington county, and will now preach at the Grove on the 20th, at Cornelius on t he 21st and at Hillsboro on the 22d of July, ser vices beginning at each place at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Two of Alvan Brown's children, one fire year and the other fourteen months old died of diphtheria on Sunday night within an hour of each other after a week's sickness. The funeral, which occurred on Monday from the Congregational church, Rev. J. W. Ellis conducting the ex ercises, was large. The remains of the children were buried in one cof fin. This is a sad affliction for the family. Some more buildings are projected for the Grove. W. D. Hoxter will build a new house on his property. Professor Johnson also intends to erect a fine dwelling. Mr. Johnson was married in Portland about two weeks ago and proposes to locate in theGrove permanently. The Prof, is is a scientific man and is a good ad dition to the intellect of the place. A familv of- immigrants in the Grove have the measles, to which they had been exposed on the steam er coming from Frisco. An old acquaintance of Mr. Blank's has come to the Grove from the grasshopper district in Minneso ta. He is disgusted with that coun try having sacrificed his property to get away from the "horrible hop pers." Mr. Blank's brother who i li in the same neighborhood is go j iug to move out here this fall. The people there aie getting away as fast as they can. Three homesteads have been tak en up by iaim3rants, adjoining Bar- ret's place on Gale's creek. Mr. Cooper our jeweler and dentist has taken up a homaiead in Patton's valley near Robert's claim.

Pre'dent Marsh of Pacific Uni- verMiv win siart Last iv lue nest steamer in the interest of the Insti- tution. .He will probably be gone four or live mouths. The good wishes of the entire community ; with him in his cfibris for the crood i of the college. Dr. W. II. Savior had a first- CT.ISS runaway last Fridar. Ho , r Y.fo,. ,w., : ; his buv to see his farm which he bought latoly from Mr. Wills. He hitched the hordes in a baverdam swamp and weut out to view. the farm. The spirit of the true gran ger entered the bosom of the Doctor and he felt just as if he would like to pull off his duster and hat and be gin to pull up the grubs and sap plings that grew thick around him, while the spiiit of the mosquitoes descended on his horses and the horses "got away" with that buggy on about two-forty, jumping logs f rQm tWQ to five feet w h am, Inov. iug a swath of sapplings as they went. Damages $100. The Doctor will not be a granger now. Sam Stott, Jr. while working at a pump mashed one of his fingers bad ly. Dr. Say lor amputated the crushed joint and the wound is do ing handsomely. Dr. James has gone from these parts to Victoria. He does not know whether he will return or Dot. A loving pair from Nehalem whom we will call Sam and Sally went to Portland and went 'into a baker's shop to buy something good. Sam asked the baker how he sold pies, and the grocer said, "two-bits." Then Sam asked him if he wouldn't sell three pies for four-bits and the baker assented. Then Sam gave Sally one of the pies and reserved two for himself, saying that is about as near as we can come to it isn't it Sally? She said that she was not much punkins at figgers but she thought that there was a mistake 8omewhar. Jabe Wilkes says thai last week during tne not weatner a uiuoaer ohower passed over his place near Greenville which was one vl the hardest showers he has seen since he left the Stafes. The rain fell in toi- rent. ' It also hailed till thegrOiirid was covered, some of the hailstones being as big as patridgo eggs. Mr. Wills, bur new :. meat market man is doing an excellent business. He runs a meat wagon to Cornelius and Hillsboro. The people or the Grove ought to give him their en'ir patronage. He sells just as good beef as any other shop in the coun ty and just as cheap and the Grove ought to support the home market. Toots. Stay With Us Darlixg. Darling Smith who lives in Patton's valley has got up a petition praying that his possessions may be cut off from the upper valley school district and attached to an adjoining district. The point in the game will be discovered when it is known that that the dis trict to which Mr. Smith wishes to be united has a new school bouse while the district in which he now is has an old one which will have to be replaced soon by another. It ap pears that Darling rather came it over some of the generous people of the district when he persuaded them to sign the petition to have himself cat of, and when they got their eyes open they signed a remonstrance and now a large majority in the dis trict absolutely refuse to let Darling go. We do not say this to flatter Darling but must say that he has be come very popular in his district. The people up there just dote on him, and we would not wonder if they wculd nominate him for Con gress or some other office soon. Jcvexile Templars -Lectcue. We have just received a cop of the ritual and con stitution and by -lawn of the Juvenile Tem plars- Mrs. M. E. Hotter oi the Grove was elected General Superintendent at the last session of the Grand Lodjje I. O. O. G. T.,for this workin the temperance rerovm in this State this year. A better officer for this work could not have been selected. Mrs. Hote. has long been a leading spirit lu moral progress in tnis State. With a well balanced judgment she has not nm off with the mad theories ol the day but fol low'ng the sfe and useful line of common sense hhe wields ah influence that is felt and heeded by younand old. Rev. J. W. Miller of IIi'ls1xro will lecture at the Grore on next Saturday evening on temperance, after which - Mrs. Hovur will try to orgaL-ize a Juvcni'e Temple; in which object we wish the wovihy lady unbounded success and hope that all temperance Or ders and aM tempcance people will jjive her their aid and sympathy in this noble work. Cornelins Hems. Couseujs, July 12, 1875. Cornelius is very dull now. There is a camp meeting going on iu the east Tualat'n district. Your humble servant was there aud there was quite a large attendance. Frank O'Connor has hired out to work for T. It. Corncleiusfor a good price. O. K. No 2. Dowx in nil-: Mount. -Three agents from Frisco representing extensive dealers in the Bay City stopped in town Monday nigh. They did not get an order in Hillsbor.

Ten horses are now be ing trained on the Fair grounds pre paring for the Washington county Fair this fall. Wjc.

To!ciCe is huildin another ben- bns on bis promises. Cedar Mill Items. JLd. In-dependent: Seeing yoti have no correspondent at Cedar Mill Burg, I constitute my Be If one fortbd present. This is qui to an enterprising burg, and is composed of a store, post office, sawmill, blacksmith shop, two dairies and a coal pit. The store and post-oflhe conducted by by the gentlemanly merchant and P. M., J. Q. A. Young, is doing a "land-office" business and the amount of goods tthat he sells is an indication that the people hereabouts appreciate liome enterprise, and the amount of mail distributed weekly is conclusive evidence that these peo ple are a read iug people. Cedar mill is doing a thriving bus iness and the load after load of lum ber that goes from the mill is not only evidence that they make a good article bat that the people in these "Sticks" are up and a doing and in tend to make this the country. There has been quite an influx of .. 'i. i immigration here the last month, no less tnau six or eirht. all males, not very st urdy yeoman ry y e t , bu t will be. The last ou record stops at the house of J. B. Eveison. He is large of his size and weighs six pound. The said J. B. has been called "Pa" since the thiid inst. lie seems as proud of the immigrant as a two year old boy of a new top. Wo all with one accord say "God speed you John." Allow me to correct one item of your correspondent, O. K., of July first. Instead of my refusing to go home with her on account of mudy roads. I asked her if I should see her safe through the mad, and she said, "Nix cumarouud," which fright ened mo and I tied. I supple she knows what nix cumarouud means but I confess that I don't. Immigrant. Who Was He?Tuo Danbury XeicH has the following item: 'Oxen Bill," of Oregon, was driv ing his team toward a Portland bridge, indulging in the following mixture of song and vexation: The little lamb plays ou the hills Whoa-haw, Briney. The little lambs play on the hill, Beyond the shadow of the mill Whoa-haw, Briuey.J The little lambs play on the hill, Beyond the shadow of the mill flee, Brindle, yoj dan fool!J Skippin' up mid down the green Gee, Briney. The pnrtiest siht I've cvtr Been. Whoa-haw, Bundle! Buck, whoa! As he closed the last line, the os en stepped upon the bridge, and spjiPf hole took fright and started to run at the top of their speed across it. As they neared the oppo site end, one of the hubs struck the railing, and over went wagon, song and "Oxen Bill," all in a heap. Ooituary. D ied t the residence of her parents fire miles north of Ilillbboro. July 1th, 175, Louise Freeman aged 17 years. After a lingering illness of five months nhe was called home to her Father's mansion. Gen tle, kind, aud obedient, uho embodied all the traits of a dutiful daughter, a kind and loving companion and fiiend, and though she has left us, her memory will remain fresh and green in ths heart of all who knew her. The neighbors und friend were uu tiring in their efforts to assist in alleviating her suffering and their only regret is that they could do no more for one whom we all loved. Dearest sister thou has left as; Here thy loss we deeply fetl, Bat 'tis God that has bereft us, lie can all our sorrows heal. Visitiso. W. D. I'ittcnger and family have been enjoying a week's visiting and are not done yet. They started Wednesday to Mr. Pittenger's place up on Lousignot's lake where they will t tay a while. In the mean time we have the largess of their milch co and berry patch and we are somewhat indifferent as to whether they erer come bck or not. We believe wc can appreciate a thing of this kind as well as any other webfoot in Oregon. Weather.
