Auicably Settleu On Christmas eve wa noticed that the organ, about - "vhich there was so much dickering est winter, was in the Church. On j nquiry we learned that the instrument jiail been given to the Union Sunday School authorities to be used by them and all denominations worshipping in the Methodist church.

Last evening a row occurred in the Criterion saloon between Stephen Booth and John J. Luihrop in which the former was se verely cut with a knife by Lathrop. The wound is an ugly gash in the left breast but not thought to be dan gerous. Lath ro; was h-.urmed by Mr. McDanii-1, when .M.ii-tdi&l Crosby ar p rested him ui.d tunud him over to Deputy Shcriir Uaion and lodged in thp coutity jail. The case will probably be examined to-dav.

Lackland, mining property and ditches in the vi cinity of Palmer creek. Consideration, $1,000. Don't Be Afraid. The other even ing we looked out in the rear of our office and saw a most extiaordinarv assemblage. It was a regular convoca tion of cats on a shed roof and the business seemed to be of importance as every old "Tom" was accompanied by his sister, his cousin or his aunt, and the discussion soon was quite general. We waited to hear the result, which Teas the strongest kind of a resolution to steer clear of Nick Ficke's sau?age machine for the year 1881, and we re tired quietly, feeling perfectly safe to indulge in his sausages for the next twelve months. Installation. The instillation of the newly elected officers of Warren xAmgu "ftA. M., Oregou Chapter No. 4 R. A. M., and Adarel Chapter No. 3 O. E. S. took place on Monday evening in tho Masonic HalL There was a large attendance of members of the three orders and their families, numbering over two hundred persons, to witness the ceremonies. An elegant collation was set by the ladies of the order and it was so abundant that a large amount was left from the feast. With praisworthy kindness the residue was distributed among those whose circumstances debarred them from knowing any' difference between the holidays and any other. Attempted 3Iurder. Yesterday morning a lodoft revolver was discov ered, set and cocked, with a string at tached to the trigger and to the door of a Chinaman's house on Main street in such a way that when the occupant opened the door he would receive the contents of the pistol. Under-Sheriff Caton ascertained that tho pistol be longed to Tom McKay, a half breed In dian, who says it was taken from him by two white men, who are known, while he was in a partial state of in toxication on Mondar night, and his story was corroborated by another half breed. All we have to say is that any wretch who would do so dastardly a deed is a coward at heart and only needs watching from behind. Fifty-seven tickets were sold at the Leap Year party given by the young ladies of Jacksonville on Christmas. The Secretary of War urges an ap propriation of 61.000 for additional officers and soldier's quarters at Van ouver W. T. Remember the New York Storp when you, wish to bi goods, because the best goods you can get for one hall their real value. Gustaf Wilson of Portland, formerly of Josehpiue countv has been recoui mended as Russian Vice Consul for thi city of Portland. Hon. E. B. Watson, Supreme Judgp, left for Salem on Monday's stage to attend the session of Court commenc ing next Monday. Miss Millie Vining of Ashland is visiting friends here and a pleasant little party was given to her at Mr. Linn's last evening. Hon. M. C. George, M. C. from Oregon, has gone to Washington to learn the ropes of Congress before tak ing his beat in March. Nolaud fe M:Daniel and Wintjen &. Helms set out excellent lunches on Christma; which it is probably needless to say were woll patronized. E. H. Clark, representative of the house of Christy & Wise, wool dealers of San Francisco, is visiting Jackson ville in the interests of his firm. J. M. Bacon, Postmaster at Oregon City, was robbed of over 3,000 last Tuesday night. About 500 of the Odd Fellow's funds were included in this. James R. Little and George Chase have bought the -variety store of Jake Marcuse and will take charge to-day. We hope to see the new proprietors do well. Stealing turkics seems to be the avo cation of some parties around here at the present time but should they get caught they may havo to change their occupation to making brick. It is laid that all the vacant ground on the Klamath river between Cotton wood and Happy Camp has been taken up and that stream will be the scene of extraordinary mining activity next, season. Parties who attended the Christmas Ball given by Mrs. Lavenburg at Phoenix repot t a large attendance and an excellant time.' Another party will be given at the same place on New Year's eve. The Sail given by Mr. and Mrs. Herling on Christmas eve proved a success, as usual. Quite a largo atten dance was noticeable, and those present pronounce the supper given by Mrs. Herling as superb. On the 22d fourteen Chinese lepers, all that could be found in San Francis co, were put on board the Belgic and started to China. The "Chronicle" describes the condition of the unfortun ate wretches as frightful in the ex treme. On last Wednesday morning the safe of J. M. Bacon of Oregon City was burglarized of 3,356.00, private and Odd Fellows funds and Post Office money. The job is said to havo evi dently been committed by experienced hands. Dr. Hugh Glenn's ranch in Colusa county, Cal., yielded 400,00Obushels of wheat the prtsent season of which 60,- 000 bushels are reserved for seed. Future generations will curse landlord ism in California and "Boycotting" will be in order. The enterprising Oregonian published a double sheet on Christmas day full of interesting matter, containing, among other things, the full text of Judge Deadys decision in the Bybee Hawkett case, denying the motion, to remand to the Stato Court. Mrs. Hanley has our thanks for a splendid turkey with which to cele brate the birth day of our better half. May the estimable giver live to cele brate many of her own and to exper ience that it is more blessed to give than to receive. At the last term of the State Circuit Court in Portland, just closed there were ten convictions for.gambling the offenders being fined 50 and costs. So it seems that where there are effi cient officers the gambling law is not a dead letter after all. As this seems to be the season for tramps and suspicious strangers would it not be wise for the town authorities to appoint a night watch for the pro tection of property and the control of the lawless. We make this suggestion for the consideration of the board. Shooting a man through tho body and shovelling another man's brains out are called in Virginia City, "Washoe Compliments." It was on Christmas eve A. Dussault being shot and Matthew Patterson shoveled. Verily the golden age is still a long way off! Thanks Ad Harmon of the "Es meraldi," in Roseburg, has our thanks for a New Year's remeniberance sent by express. Coming from such a dis tance it is more than appreciated, flavored as it is with kindly feeling and the wish for a happy New Year is earnestly reciprocated.

On Christ mas day the Father received the gift or a very handsome sota trom his con gregation in Jacksonville. David Shook of Alkali valley is a visitor in town. He informs us that grass is springing up finely in Lake county, the snow being entirely gone, and that stock are doing better than for many years. We sometimes wonder if people, generally, consider that it takes money as well as labor and thought to run a newspaper. Will many subscribers, who are in arrears, take the hint? If so we will feel obliged. Christmas eve was the scene of a very pleasant social party at the resi dence of Mr. David Linn which lasted till nearly midnight More social parties and fewer public dances would be a desirable and agreeable departure. 25, 1880: Sec. 8. Until otherwise provided for, tho County Judge of Lnkp county shall receive an annual salary of five hundred dollars. Nixcg)rlhe Yreka Journal, is cau terizing tho District Attorney of Siski you county for pushing tho Edgerton prosecution, on very flimsy evidence, which has resulted in acquittal of the accused at a cost of $1000 to the tax payers. Thlf Journal charges the trial to political persecution, and prompted lv political spite. There is but one paper in Oregon, older than the Sentinel, the Oregon ian, being itsspnior by about five years. Like the Sentinel, that journal has always been a leadpr rather than a fol lower and time, reversing the general rule, leads it upward instead of down ward. We hope to tread the thorny path of journalism many a year yet. with our companion of the early days. The soil of tho Yakima country n Washington Territory is said to be very fertile. Wheat yields from 40 to 60 bushels to the acre, barley from 60 to 00 bushels and 600 bushels of pota toes from an acre is an ordinary crop Gold is said to have been discovered on the Swank and Pehastin riversrin nug gets worth as high as 700, late last fall. The city election is approaching and every day it is becoming more appar ent that only property holders should have the right to vote at municipal elections. The government of a town or city ought to be controlled by those most, interested in its peace and wplfare and not the rabble who care little for either and who turn liberty into license. The Yreka Semi Weekly Journal speaks in very flattering terras of the giants and Cranston elevatoruscd by the Yrpka Creek Mining Co. near Hawkins- ville but intimates that there is a new machine made by Strombs which will do twice the work of the Cranston ma chine with half the water. One of the Stromb machines is to be put down next spring by the company. The windows of a house occupied by Chinese were smashed in by some un known persons on Christmas eve. The owner says if the town authorities can not afford protection to property they will be held responsible for damages done by hoodlums. If our charter adds nothing to public peace and security it should be taken away as being only an expensive ornament. On the day before Christmas we ob served a crowd of young men getting very mellow by frequent visits to the saloons. They evidently nre not aware that Bank Presidents, Millionaires and Merchant Princes are not madp out of boys, that acquire fifty dollar habits on fifty cent salaries but they will learn in good time that no young man known to drink, gamble or smoke opinm is to be trusted in any reponsible po sition. This is the cold fact, boys, and you may as well stare it in the face and don't imagine that luck will ever help you out either. Highway Robbers Captured. On the 23d John Van Dyfce, living seven miles east of Jacksonville, discovered that his house had been burglarized of some coin amounting to about twenty five dollars and some small articles be ing taken. Mr. Van Dyke informed the Sheriff and their attention was di rected to a couple of tramps who had been in town a few days, prior to the robbery and who were beating their way northward. On following thp tramps it was found that two Chinese had been stopped in the road near Wil low Springs and robbed, after a little resistance, of over twenty dollars. Dep uty Sheriff Coats and Jeff Croy follow ed up the scent and, on reaching Grant's Pass, learned that a Chinese had been robbed at Dry diggings of twenty-two dollars having been forced to hand over at the muzzle of a revol ver. Immediately after the robbery the Chinaman took a near cut beatina the robbers to Graut's Pass and, on 'heir arrival, pointing them out to Mr. Dimick, who had no authority to arrest hem and they continued north. Coats passed them, when near the summit of the Grave creek hill and, halting be yond the summit, captured them and brought them safely to tffwn. When searched they were found in posession of & large number of skeleton keys, door, trunk and valise kpys and one of hem was aimed with three revolvers, he other being unarmed They are both young men .the (tldestjot being o-er twenty-two, and 'it is suspected hat a much older man who was travel ing a few hours in advance, and car r lug a paek.isonn of their accornpni s a i occo tip! ce The examination ofthe prisoners will take place to day before Justice Huller. evidently impatient in remarks of the counsel should delay the verdict. The prospcution present ed the case clearly and the wily coun sel for the defence argued and argued and killed time till the Grand Jury was discharged, and then quietly asked the Judge to quash the indictment, pointing to a hole in it big enough to drive a six horse team through. The Judgo saw tho hole, charged the jury to acquit and the prisoner skedaddled, whistling the rogue's march. As the people have to foot the bill for this abor tive attempt to convict a thief, against tthom the evidence was overwhelming, and the robbed never got his horse back, it is probable that the attorney who got his fee and the rascal who es caped will be the only parties who will see anything funny in this item. We confess that all the fun seems to have sjone through the hole in the indictment. Livery Stable Sold. Mr. Phillips has sold his livpry stable property and business iii Ashland to Henry Norton for 6,000. The property transferred includes horses, carriages and entire outfit of the stables, and -Mr. Norton has already taken possession and will continue tho business himself, attend ing to it personally. He is well and widely known in this county, and tak ing, a he does, a business already es tablishcd upon a prosperous footing, he litis an easj roal to success. Mr. Phillips contemplates removing to Eastern Washington Territory and will start in a short time to look for a favorable location. He has been a public spirited, enterprising citizen,, and we wish him success wherever he may settle. Tidings. deer skins read his advertisement.""

Stage 'Company have petitioned the P. 0. Department at Washington for the remission of fines paid, an account of- missing regular trips on the Sacramento river road, by reason of tho impossibility to cross Pit River last winteryThere never has been a company staging through Noithern California, fulfilling con tracts so promptly and "energetically, and to enforce the penalties for im possibilities, is not just nor within tha. spirit of the law. The company never failed to carry the mail through each trip, whenever it was possible to get through, and have expended thousands of dollars extra every year, both in California nnd Orpgon, to render the. roads possible, but could not prevent the rivers petting too high to make hem impassible to cross, by even skiffs or canoes a portion of the time, to form a confection. Ve thin!", it only justice to the Stage company to add our approval to the above from tho Yreka Journal and to say that if it had not been for their energy and tliPir expenditures on the road north of here the road would have been nearly impassible. 1 1t must be added that their service Has really been more than, nt times, could have been expected.
