It is now aa silent as the harp that once in "Tara'a halls" but will soon be replaced with another. Cavaluy Houses.

Demnquest Taxes. Sheriff Bybee Announces that he will soon proceed to collect delinquent taxes as toe ww la- rects, and as he has heretofore given ample notice and been very lenient there is no room for grumbling. The county is paying interest on a large atnount'of indebtedness, and as there Is a largo delinquent list prompt collection should at once be made. Pautiho Gift. A very lieautiful gold headed cane was this week ex pressed to Mr. J. L'Hommcdieu of Chester, Conn. It was one of the be quests of the late U. S. Hayden to his uncle, the former named gentleman, who is now ninety-two years of age. The cano was purchased in San Fran cisco by Mr. Alex Martin, and suitably inscribed with the names of the donor and legatee. in Society Election. On Wednesday evening the "Eintracht" or German so cial society elected the following offi cers: George Henry Young, President; Fredrick Grube, VicePrest; John Cim borsky, Secretary; VeitSchutz, Treas urer; Henry Kubli, Janitor. The ob ject of this society is the dif fusion of information among German's and the encouragement and assistance of emigrants.

E. Church. Disgraceful. On Friday evening ihere stemed to be an unusual amount 4of drunkeness on the streets, and we iare sorry to remark that several of the ceases were those of boys not over six teen. The man who will give whiskey -to a boy under age, whether he be a saloon keeper, merchant or friend, jew r gentile, ought to be punished to the full extent of the law, and from what we hear if it is not discontinued there will be trouble. David and Anna Matson. This is the title of a poetical work by Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway which has reached its third edition. It is an Eastern story told in a manner that shows the genius of the authoress, and is one of those works that will bear acquaintance. The binding and gener al style of the book is elegant, and it contains a faithful engraving of Mrs. Duniway, whoisin this county canvass ling for it with goodBuccess. ihe voj- irae also contains a nuniuer 01 Deauu- lul Oregon poems, LftCAl.

He will need a freight wagon to haul away the bullion soon. Capt Biley and Lieut Shelion, of Fort Klamath, were detained at Port land and will not pass through on their return for several days. A private letter from John S. Mil ler states that all the miners on Silver creek are now making money, some of them making big wages. The glorious Fourth has come and gone, but 'tis not so with Dillon; he keeps that good old demijohn, and you can taste it for a shillin'. Bead Mrs. Bilger's "last call." Her patience seems about exhausted and perhaps those owing her might be saved by a prompt settlement. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway lectured on Sunday evening to an audience which was large considering the rain. The subject was "ever' day religion." The political race in California, there being four tickets in the field, is called by the "Golden Era" a scrub race. Is it because each party has nominated scrubsl the North on Thursday last He is here looking after mining interests and is at present on Applegate with Judge Hanna. The President is now distinguished for V-toes. Should Congress have made a sixth veto necessary he might hereafter be known as "six-toed Bath- erford." Veto number five has been recorded. The "toe" now deserved by a congress that has been wasting the people s mon ev to no purpose is the "toe" of the national boot Dr. J. W. Robinson will not return here for several months. He is nearly worn out by attendance on his wife, and intends to travel for the recupera tion of his own health. The citizens of Douglas county are circulating a petition praying their County Court to appropriate the sum of $1,000 for repairing their roads leading in this direction. Four-fifths of the property of the Oregon Steamship Company was trans ferred on the first inst, to parties in New York. The people of Eastern Oregon will now be anxious to know if the "monopoly" is broken, or if it is only out of the frying-pan and into the fire. The condition of Mr. Jos. Wetterer who has been confined to his bed for two week is still very critical. Strong hopes are entertained, however, that he will recover. Our friend William Shook will go to Lake county this week to rusticate at Alkali Lake. "Billy" will be missed in dry goods circles and we hear the angels singing "Willie how we miss you." The stage buildings at Grave Creek will soon be completed. Tho work of covering them commenced on Monday. Itis the intention of Div. Agt. Carll to remove his family there in a few weeks. The nuggota taken from the claim of Thornton, Kincaid k Co. on Silver creek have been .underrated. They weighed eighty nine, forty-seven, and nineteen dollars respectively. Dr. Aiken left here on Saturday for San Francisco where he will remain several weeks. It is expected that the Dr will bring his bride back with him and they will both be welcome. The Comstock House at Albany, the property of James Comstock, was en tirely destroyed by fire on the Fourth. The-huildinc-was. insured. The rail road buildings adjoining were saved. The frame -work of the new church building at Phccnir. was completed last week and will soon be ready for occu pancy. Several other buildings are in course of construction at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Savage of tho New State hotel have the thanks of the printers for a pitcher of delicious sherry cobbler and a bountiful supply of cake. The boys say Charley can keep a hotel. The mining claim of H. S. Brown and sons at Althouse has been increas ed by the purchase of mining property' belonging to Mrs. Hansen. Those gen tlemen have now over two miles of the creek. Green Bros., of the "Sugar Pine" ledge on Galice creek, aro still running two "arastras" day and night on rock paying thirty-five dollars per ton. They have a considerable quantity of rock on the dump and plenty in sight. The ball on the evening of the Fourth was well attended, fifty odd tickets being sold and festivities kept up until a late hour. The supper furnished by Mr. Savage of the Now State was without fault in any re spect The celebration next in order will be the Odd Fellow's anniversary on August 18th. Ex-Governor Chadwick is to be the orator and wo understand that members of Ashland and Kerby ville lodges will be invited to partici pate. John Chandler has now in operation a shingle factory on Clayton creek, six miles south of Ashland, and he will start a saw mill in oonnnection with his business, lie will establish anli. i ft ., agency in Jacksonville soon iitt tm sale of his shingles. A very large emigration is passing through Lake county, mostly bound for the Walla Walla country. It is said to be of a very respectable and . T . ... - desirable character. Washington Ter ritory will soon be knocking at the doors of Congress for admission as a State. The Galice Creek Mill and Mining "Co. held their annual meeting on the 1st inst and elected the following offi cers; Prest, E C. Brooks; Secretary, J. W. Merritt Board of Directors, Joseph Wetterer, Chas Saunders, E. B. Watson, E. C. Brooks J. W. Mer ritt. The extra session of Congress forced by the Democracy lias been a great national show costing the people over a million dollars. The squandering of that sum in order to give the people an opportunity to see what the Dem ocracy would do if they had the-power is a good joke on that party. Hon. P. P, Prim, of the Supreme Court left on the stage yesterday for Salem to attend tho July session. It was partially agreed among attorneys that there would be no summer session and that the bench should have a vaca tion, but tome lawyer whose liver was out of order has insisted on the session, and may get the worst of it Mrs. Duniway was invited "not" to speak at Willow Springs on the Fourth for fear of disarranging the ex ercises. We are ashamed of the judg ment of our friends down there as to expect to prevent a woman from talk ing on ''Independence" day was simply preposterous and of course she had a large end attentive audience. His "Clemency," Gov Thayer, still continues to turn convicts loose among the people, in another instance stipula ting that the thief shall not return to Multnomah county. This is equiva- lent to saying that tho fellow was too wicked for "Multnomah" but wa good enough for Jackson or any other county in Oregon. For philanthropic impu dence command us to his clemency. We understand Sheriff Bybee, as the custodian of the public property, in tends lowering the flag staff and put ting new halliards on it in such a way that they will not get foul again. It stood on our national birthday like the naked ghost of liberty, and if the com missioners are not willing to pay for putting it in order it should be chop ped down, as it is neither useful nor or namental. The Lake counfcv "Herald," in reply to an article in a recent number of this paper, says some of them (he attorneys of Lake county) have been on the range all summer. It is a great pity that the remaining few had not been staked out; they might have appeared at the next term of court In better condition, and perhaps it would be bet ter for the people fV Lake county to permit them to remain out during the winter. BOW HE HATEB TBEK . Everybody knows Jasper Houck, the genial host of the Ashland House, the man who knows how to keep a hotel. For years Jesse kept the first-class ho tel of Crescent City, having for its pa trons the "bon ton," find noted for a table that would please the most fastid ious epicunan. Jesse was a very prince of caterers, justly proud of his table, but his guests, nearly all practi cal jokers, frequently soured his usual good nature by turning up their noses contemptuously at the delicate viands. Once a packer on his return from the mountains brought in a fat and juicy bear cub, weighing about forty pounds, and Jesse, always wide awake to the state of the market secured it Next day the host was happy. Boasted to the most delicate tinge of brown, stuff ed with tho most artistic care, ready to be served with the richest gravy, bruin was on the sideboard and the host only feared that it would not satisfy the gourmands. "Bear!" asked Jesse, with jJEgpjafb flrmrish of tVfr ing tools, of the nearest guest "No bear in mine," replied the boarder. "Bearl" he enquired of a second. "Oan't bear it," was the answer. "Takcsome cub?" he said to a third. "What!" indig nantly yelled the boarder, "do you think 111 eaf, what a dog won't touch put it in the cub-board." The host grew nervous, and when after solicita tion every boarder answered in the negative he felt that a little job had been put up on him. Jessie's wrath needed no nursing it was warm enough. That night he procured a fine "roaster" of the swine species, dressed it and hung it out to cool in front of the hotel. Next day the guests noticed it and were delighted. The dining room was redo lent of savory smells and the appetite of the boarders were whetted to the keenest edge. At dinner the host was surly. "Boast pork, gentlemen," he announced in the bluntest manner. Every ono took roast pork, smacked his lips and commended its delicious flavor, and many asking for a second install ment were disappointed. "No pork," said Jesse as the plates were presented, "not cooked yet, how does cub set on your stomachs?" The guests looked at each other astonished, and when Jes se triumphantly came from tho kitchen with the pig they had so fondly antici pated yet uncooked they acknowledged the selL Several who.were really pre judiced against "bear" mmt went hur- riedly out and saved Btemper by 1,'m' - 13VS- 44- '1 nn stomach pump. Jesse was even, and thereafter no successful combination was ever made against any particular dish. Holt's Brick. The second story of (his fine building is beginning to loom up and we are informed by Mr. Holt that he expects to have it roofed in during August The capacity of this hotel we think will be ample. It will contain twenty two sleeping apartments besides office, ladies' parlor, dining-room and store rooms. The partitions on the lower floor are all brick, and the building when finished will contain not less than three hundred thousand. The spacious dining room on the lower floor is eighteen by sixty feet, and each bed room is provided with a fire place. The large hall ou the second story is thirty-five by seventy-five, and intended for parties, con certs or public exhibitions, wo believe is the largest between here and Salem, and will have room to seat five hund red people. Madame Holt is entitled to credit for projecting a building that will be the finest in Jacksonville, and we hope nothing wjH occur to retard its progress. Pistol Pbactice. On the evening of the Fourth a man in the employ of Veit Schutz, while in a brave state of intoxication, discharged aj six-shooter from Breckenfeld's corner 'up. Oregon street, which at the time was full of people, the ball crashing through the Franco American fioteW There was no Marshal on hand to make an arrest As a general rule people are allowed a little lattitude on a public holiday, but work like this should not go unpunish ed. No man, drunk or sober, has a right to disturb the peace or jeopardize the lives of innocent people, and if the law is to be powerless we want to know it There is no ordinance against the discharge of fire arms within the city limits, but it seems high time there should be. Sekious Accident. On Friday eve ning as many of our people were re turning from the celebration a wagon driven by a man carrying a top heavy load of patriotism was upset on the grade near J. N. T. Miller's residencu and it is only surprising that severallives were not lost As it was, John Cim borsky was seriously injured about the hips, John Miller had his left el bow joint dislocated and August Bohn was severely bruised about the head. The driver who was running his team at the time should have been the one to suffer, but he was too drunk to get hurt. The Fourth at Jacksonville. The celebration here on Friday last was much more of a success than was gen erally anticipated, and notwithstanding the chilly weather there was a largo at tendance at Bybee's Grove and very general enjoyment After prayer by Bev. M. A. Williams, tho Declaration Was exceedingly well read by Miss Em ily Brown. The Oration of Mr. Bob ert A. Miller was unique in its way, and an evident departure from the old spread eagle style, being a very artistic grouping of historical facts, interwoven with poetic gems of thought It was delivered in a manner that reflected great credit on the young gentleman, but could scarcely be heard by many of the audience on account of an unfa vorable breeze. The games for the amusement of the young people were a success. One of them called "jar spear ing" was new and laughable. A num ber of jars were suspended on a rope, each containing a prize, or something else; the boys advanced blindfolded un derneath with an iron rod and were al- Iflwad ft cert-tin number qf "prods," and if they punched the bottom out of the jar they won a prize or a shower of flour or water. Tho chief attraction was the sweet music of our fine band, which was dispensed liberally and with the best Bkill. Altogether our celebra tion was exceedingly pleasant, and not a single accident occurred to mar tho general enjoyment. Willow Springs At this point the attendance was large on the. Fourth, many going from town for a change. The reading of the Declaration by Mr. Frank Sifers wan excellent and tha- Oration by Hon. Nat Langell was one of his happiest efforts. Among the most notable features of the celebration were the equine quadrille, which was very well performed by Colvig's com pany of lancers, and the feat of riding at full speed and catching a ring on the end of the lance. The champion at this game was John Ralls, he having caught the ring the greater number of times. The large dancing pavillion was well filled during the afternoon and many of our people from town joined in the dances. A side show given by the Foot's Creek min strels, was said to be quite amusing, some of their performances being new. A large number of stands for refresh ments and all teemed well patronized. There were no accidents of any kind and very general enjoyment seemed to be the rule. vy e ufomiurine' Raybum, who escaped from the Cor vallis jail, had been captured at Yreka and the Sheriff of Benton County went to our Governor to obtain a requisition for his delivery to the Sheriff, Govern or Thayer declined to grant one and stated that Bayburn had done nothing very bad, and it was not worth -nhile to bring him back to this State. The Sheriff insisted that the requisition should bo granted, and threatened pro ceedings to compel the issue of one. The Governor very reluctantly gave the needed document. Of course the object was to prevent the return of a man to this State who is sure to go to the Penitentiary. He is determined to get as few persons into that institu tion as possible, and willing to let fel ons escape just retribution rather than have the number of convicts increased. This may be all very pleasant for the criminals, and may assist Mr. Bush to keep the expenses of tho Penitentiary down to the economical maximum, but it is decidedly rough on the people. "Mercury." Latest Sensatiok. Miss Jennie Bush, eldest daughter of Samuel Rush, of Grants Pass, a young woman about nineteen years of age, has started out as a preaeher. She preached for the first time at Grants Pass on Sunday, and on Sunday tho 20th will preach at Woodville, then make a missionary trip to Applegate and return to Jack sonville. We are informed that this girl is a member of the Methodist Church and extremely limited in edu cation. It is possible that wo have I another "Joanno Southcote" among us, but more probable that a weak minded girl has become half crazed with relig ious enthusiasm and it may be well enough to let it have free vent. m ' Real Estate Tramtactions.
