Watson, one of the Republican Presidential electors of Oregon, has special reasons for feeling thankful to day.

Ti lings, Sent to the Penitentiary. James Hart, for several years a resident of this county, was at the last term of the Circuit .Court at Baker City sen tenced to a term of eight years in the penitentiary for tho crime, of incest on his sister. He is only about tweutv. one years of age and during his resi dence here was always regarded a quiet, moral and industrious young man. v From Mr. E. Manville, with whom he resided during his' residence here, and who ha vifiitd. hint since his commit ment tB-tfie-'penttentiary, we learn, that jt is believed bj many that the boy it innocent and his conviction the result of some spite work. An effort will be made to get a new trial at the next term of Cettrt and it iVliopej that he will then prove himself inno nt of the oh-txrj-j. I4KAL ITEMS. County Court in session. " , s$? f l .

A box of matches standing on the counter of the Franco American hotel A-as discovered to lie on 3re by Maohal- Crosby at two oTdock last Friday morning.

E. Churches. In the former Father Blan che! officiated, in the latter Rev. M. A. Williams. In both sanctuaries, thanks giving was offered to the Invisible, Almighty God, the Being that Gov. Thayer was bo loth to acknowledge in his proclamation. The newspapers generally condemn Gov. Thayer, for his refusing in his thanksgiving proclamation, to ac knowledge the existence of God.

Among these structures are three business blocks five stories eaclu the property of the EaH,of Airlie, who with his son and daughter lately visit ed Jacksonville. Complaint reaches usfearne very di rection of the unprecedented "cojd snap." In the, Eastern and. Westejn States the cold proved to be a perfect "sockdologer," not only freezing canals and rivers, but the cold penetrating cellars and barns, and freezing potatoes and other vegetables that were not well protected. No wonder we on this coast share in the visitation. The 'Virctive wave" whjch hns swept the country East, nf the Rockies struck the Pacific coast November 16th and 17t't in a numlter.of places. Cold free ing -lypather is announced in sections nf California. Oregon and Nevada, which have heretofore been exempt. In some localities ice formed thnv inches in thickness, and the tender semi-tropical plants were badly chilled. The frnstv davs alid nights in the month of 'November has afforded nn abundance of icp for skating purpose"-. The reservoirs and other (daces of still waters, were encmstedwith a coit nf ice two inches hick. So much ice ii. the mild vale's of this coat, is unusual, and is a repetition of last Winter's weather. Is the climate chang ing on this coast? Tlie Roseburg "Star" without stop ping to recover the wind that was knocked out of it by he recent elec tion, has entered red-eved Into the campaign of 1882. and proposes two State tickets for the Democratic partv.

If the Democratic party as now organi7d, should undertake the campaign or 1884 under the same leaders, it will be de feated again. Northern Pacific railroad proipr-cts are booming. It is understood that in the forthcoming report of the Secretary of the Interior very favorable allusion will be made to the company. Th company exjiect that in two years more the road will be entirely finished. There will be no necessity for anv ad ditional legislation to confirm title to the lands granted them by the charter. Secretary Schurz gives it as his opin ion that the road will be one nf the most profitable in the country. The Dalles Mountaineer. Gen. R. Y. Aiikcney, of Iowa agent for the United States," Dr. Whiteaker, agent for the State and Mr. Perkins, special agent for the State to select swamplands, came in from Like county on Thursday and put up at the New Stale Hotel. Associated with the partv I were .Mis. .ferkins and Alj.s tlla Ash ley. This party had been in Like county for nme months examining Swamp binds iu contest, and their forthcoming report wjll nodoubt throw considerable light on this vexed ques tion. They started for Rosefiurg and tho Willamette nex day. Reno Winnbuucca Route. Says tho Lakeview Fxaminer: The survey, ing party under Major Sears -who were survering'a route for a railroad fiom the Willamette Yallev over tne. Mili tary wagon road through tlie' Cascades to Reno and Wiiiuemucc-i, passed through town the first of the week. Their survey passes to the East of Gf-oe Lake and crosses Surprise Val ley. Major Sears expresses air opinion favorable to the route through Crooked creek, Chewaucan, Summer and Silver Lake valley--, and will probably decide this to be the most feasable. The com piny for which he is surveying; in the Scotch company of whom Lord Ogileby, Earl of Airlie, is a member. The capi tal necessary to build the road is not lacking, and it may not lie long before the road will be built. The party pass ed Ltkeview on the 13ih on their way back through Sprngue river and the Klamath Lake country. National Engraving Bureau. There are about 500 cmploves in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the Treasury Department, where all the notes and securities of the Gov ernment are printed.

It was with saddened and sorrowful hearts we consigned the 'odyof Elsie,our schoolmate and friend, to its List resting place. During her painful illness of three weeks, she "ex hibited much patience and fortitude and when Hearing the shores of the Great Beuind evinced no fearot 'tth, but was resigned to the will or 'God. When the shades of evening were gent ly falling calmly and peacefully she passed awa'. Elsie was loved and highly es teemed by all who knew her; a loving and dutiful daughter and sister, an e er kind and considerate school mate and scholar, she endeared herself to all around her. Too true it is, "Death leaves a shining mark," and he binds the brightest flowers iu his sheaves. A desolate hearth stone, un unoccupied desk, a vacant place in the class are painful reminders of her, so soon pass ed away. To the bereaved parenU and brothers we can offer no consolation only' that "God's will be done," He doeth all things well. When the mys tic ties of life are riven, she will greet us with a glad new song. B. B. Latham, Or., Nov. 18, 1880. A Boom in Sheep. The sheep busi ness in the West is literally ".looming. ' At a recent nail in Kentucky sheep that were offered at 10 a head a' h me without being sold, brought 45, which shows that thoy are not without honor except among their neihliors. It further shows that if a public sale may. be a good place to purchase, it is a good place often to sell. - But when unwashed wool in Kentucky realizes. 25 to 36 cents a pound, it is only right that the sheep should be thought to be something. Fpr its value there is no farm product that can be carried one or tv o thousand miles so cheaply and safely as wool. A. ton of wool is worth about $33 and of corn about $16. Tlie freight is a!out ;he same for each, and is 'thus twentv-hve times for wheat httiid nealy fifty times for corn than for ' rri .i , woot. litis is worm consiaenng, anil s'iows how much tetter it is to turn corn into wool than to sell it. FoCXD xt Last. Readers of the Skxtinel will remeniher the sudden disappearance of Willie Palmer from his father's resilience on Williams creek about two yea ago and the sub sequent rumors that were set afloit that the boy had -been murdered by his father. All kinds of reports of the boy's fate were circulated at the time 'iut his dead body was never found until one day last week when he returned home in the be-.t of health. He has been at Portland most of the time since leaving and now says it Sfems funny that a boy can't run away from home without being reported as. murdered. His parents whojive some where in Eastern. Oregon, will be sur prised to find that he has turned up. VaccinateI Vaccinate' The pre valence of the small pox in San Fran cisco is making outsiders somewhat shy of that metropolis.

Farmers are commencing to put in their-crops. Miners are all ready and anxiously waiting for water. I noticed in your issue of the 24th a report that there were two illegal votes thrown out here on acconnt of some superscriptions, which is a mistake; every vote was counted that was put into the ballot box, there was no ticket seen that had any illegal marks upon it. The -Champions of Honor are in a very prosperous condition here, count ing a membership ot over thirty." Tlie younger portion of the Council are very active in providing literary entertain ments, for our meetings. If we do not meet with any immediate success in turning men from the wine cup, we ex pect to bo benefitted to a great extent socially. The enterprising people of Louse creek and Jutrp off-Joe are making a wagon road across the mountains, be- 1 tween the Louse creek mines and Joe Pollock's, the highest settler on Jump-off-Joe, which will be a great conven ience to some of us who have a great deal of local business on said road. The work is progressing finely, we have the road cleared of timber and by a little grading wu will have a good toad. R.R.M. Grants Pass, Nor. 27, 1880. Is it an Eruption? At about 2 o'clock Eri lay afternoon lat the good people of Rogue River valley were treated to a genuine sensation, the nil important object heing Mount Pitt ft oni whose, highest point immense vol umes of smoke were issuing. Every body who could get a goou view of the hoary headed monarch of the Cascades did so, and a number of spy glasses wre brought into requisition to daw closer the scene of the eruption. For 2 hours and a half the smoke ascended heavenward, and the opinions express ed by the multitude gazing at the strange, phenomenon were by mo means very harmonious. Some contended, that if it is a genuine volcano, we would soon see the flame and lava is sue forth. Others thought the smoke may be the result of a vigorous camp fire. But this view was opposed on .the. ground, that no one would at this time of year build a camp fire at that elevation nearly 12,000 feet above the level of the sea. Tha discussion was continued until the mountain of its own accord ceased sending forth volumes of smoke The distance to the top of Mount Pitt is about 33 miles nearly due East from Jacksonville, and the problem of it being a gonuine volcano will have to remain unsphed until the mountain goes into greater activity, for which the prospect is not very flatter ing at this writing. TnK Entertainment. The enter tainment furnished by the Legion of Honor at the Court House last Friday night was a success in every particular, and was appreciated hy a crowded house. Every seat in the -old Court House was occupied, and standing room was at a premium. The mu-ical performances both instrumental and vocal, evinced the most thorough prep aration; the declamations, recitations and essays were also good. But the main feature of the evening was the temperance address of Prof. L. L. Rogers of Ashland; which attracted considerable attention, as he took ad vanced ground on the subject The officers chosen for next quarter were as follows: President, James A. Cardwell; Secretary, G. A. Hubbell; Treasurer, Miss Cora Linn. Committee to get up the next programme: Mrs. Florence Shipley, Miss Issie McCully and R. H. Klippel. Time for the next entertain tuent was left to the committee. The Edison Mertrlc Usht.
