. A Trip to MyrtlcCrcek. Wednesday morning General Bjnrs of tho Soldiers' Homo took in his back fivo other members of tho Mystic Order, J , Wobb, S. Caro, Pap Patterson, 0. Gn lmni and ye reporter, and that other citi zen, G.W. Kimball, and started for Myr tlo Creek to attend tho funeral of n de ceased Mason, George Weaver, of that village. A Salruiau, J. I. Chaptnaii, Clone Parrott, N T. Jowctt, J. It. Gawfield and J. Giyens had preceded us on tho same mission in buggies. The morning air was cold, crisp and frosty, rendering overcoats and mittens comfortable adjuncts to our apparel. We enjoyed the rido hugely until we came to ltobert's Hill. Here it was found advis able to "hoof it" to tho summit. As wo went puffing and wheezing up the hill, visions of a ''hold-up" wero intruded up on our minds and a fear more chilling, than the cold air caused seme of us to tremble. Tho matter was duly canvassed at the foot of the hill before starting on tho fearful climb. We say fearful be cause on this hill the "lone highway man" has been known to order "hands up" of morothan one traveler, and "gone through him" and relieved him of his hard earned coin. After comparing notes on tho state of our several finance, it was fonnd that if held up the robber would not reahzo much that would bo of vilae to him. Ono brother had a bogus halMulIar, which he proposed to savo by putting it into the shoe cf his corned foot, increasing his lameness and thus elude the robber'u grasp Oco had a nickel, another had "nary a nickel." Ona had a jack-knife he could part with if demanded. Ye reporter had nothing but a copy of tho Plalndealek of any valne, so he consoled himself with the idea that, as he vras soliciting subscri pts for the Puiindealek, ho might find a man to "take it," and thus get a bulge oa the Review, where its teachings might do some good ; and so with this in spiring idea went bounding up the steep hill noted for "hold upa." After half aaTjour'a climb no arrived at the summit safe and sound without the less of a nickel, hot the waste of a little muscle and eatra breath. When we arrived at the summit and looked over Round Prairie and the South Ump qua beyond, glinting in the sunlight like a burnished silver 1-and set with dia monds, our company with one accord involuntarily ejaculated "Isn't that a grand sight:" "It is beautiful." After enjoying the enchanting scene a few moments we all "piled in" aud bean the serpentine descent, Jehu like. The general being an old pioueer pointed oat to us all along the route places of inter est. He pointed cut one of more interest to him than to his listeners. It was the place where he wooed, won aud wed one of Umrqua's lair maidens 40 years ago, when his locks, now silvery, were aub urn. Yes. General Brars has seen and experienced much of the Hps and downs of Douglas county life He has fought the Indians and endured many hard ships bnt the greatest ordeal of his eventful life was "popping the question." While thus enjoying remenicecces of pioneer life we came to the village of Myrtle Creek and reined up at the Orer land hotel kept.by mine host, George Stephenson, where we ail refreshed tho inner man with tho good things which gladden the hungry soul. Hero ye re porter made it his temporary abode and bfgan to do the town. Being the first visit in Eve years wo were favorably im pressed with the extent and substantial improvements of the village. We were informed that there were erected thirteen new buildings last summer, mostly dwell ings. Probate Proceedings.

Those fellows are doubtless going into tho pork-packing business; at all events they packed it off and will euro it for Mr. Waito.
