If Hill, Tbompacu and Durham did all in their power to aid tlie Grover-Croniu steal, it looks like ''going back'' on their clients, for one of the firm to declare through tlie Oregonian, tust Groycr bad no right to give a certificate to Cronia. But, If the Oregonian got the coin, then Jhe law firm can afford to say, through its columns, wliatever they desire. Admitting that the $3,000 was paid to the Oregonian, we hope Hs readers will not hold it responsible, as Tuesday's is sue made the startling announcement that it would continue to be Republican in politics.

It bad been said In his bear ing, ou his way down here, that "there was going to be a reunion ol the largest family in Oregon,'' which led him to iuvesttgte the subject, and that he found 141 children, grandchildren aud great grandchildren ol his lathi rs; all on this coast, and all tut twenty of them in this State. Of the five brothers aud five sis ters that came to till, State nearly :i0 years iigo, all hut one sister is now living and enjoying good health, which speaks vol umes for Oregon. That lie had lately ob tained the geneology ol the Geer family of the United States, and learn that they all sprang from two brothers, George aud James, who wero scut to America, from England, by their uncle, who raised them iu ignorance, aud sent them away to get possession of their property; something less tlian 200 years ago, and as neither ol them could write they had to sign their names with an X, which accounts for Ihe spelled hi name, that did not trace his lineage back to either George or James Geer, and from the best information lie was able to obtain there was now over tea thousand ol tlieir de scendants in the L nlted States.

EiuTOR Statmas: As I often m-c communications in your valuable paper Irom various parts of tho State, I will make bold to send yon a few Items from Cotpiillo. We have had a most beautiful winter so far, and It It was not for the fuct that It is tlie month of January one would almost be led to believe it was uilj su miner, so pleasant has bteu the weather; and the tanners nre taking advantage of It to plow and sow. A largo portion ol the crops urc already sown, which is unu sual for the Coquille, as there Is but little sown till soring, generally, Iu this sretlon of country. Times are rather close at present, but still the country Is settling up and improv ing at a very fair rate. There has been considerable Improvement hi Coquille City the past year, notwithstanding the bard times. The society of tho place Is keeping pace with the advancement of the country iu other respects. Thero are three religious societies that Imve congre gations lit the place, and hold occasional religious services, viz : The Cniverstillsts, Methodist Episcopal South and Christian. There are also two Sabbath Schools main tained Iu the town one by the Univeraal ists, and the other is a Union Sabbith School. There Is also a very good day school now going on. taught by Mr. Moore. The patrons of the school are well pleased with his management and system of teaching. I!y the way, Mr. Editor, I saw a com munication from this p'ace signed "S," in which Mr. S. goes out of his way to have a fling at the Cauipellites, as he calls them. He says: "I uuilcrstntid business wa? br't-k bapti.ing the gullible part ol the com munity, not otherw ise engaged." II some ol the community were gulled, which we indignantly deny, we are consoled by the fact that the gulling was not accom plished by soft soap and eggs. Nor was there a grand masquerade gotten up for the occasion, so as to cause a demand for costumes, much les a clam bake arranged, nothing of the kind; we did not even ad vertise a digger pow-wow, to draw cus tom. Aj to S.' unkind remarks, on the jierson al apierauce of Mr. Morgan, we might retort in kiiii. ltut as we are enjoined in the Holy Scriptures, not to answer a fool according to his folly, we will not. We might call him a pop-eyed, halchet faced. HUmering, would be fjyas Tyec, ol Coquille, but In obedience to said Injunc tion, we will not. So adieu lo S. Campiiki.I.iti:.

Who will cheer and entertain him of en eveniug? Who is there to care for your girl who are growing up, and so much need the attention and advice from their parent ? Who is thoro to fondle and cares that little boy or girl who cornea toddling in expecting that smile wbi,'h only a tender mother can give?

As I have disapporovod of the preaent ayatem of cooiclng, I suppose It will be nec essary that I ahould givo more advice In the way of Improvement; it would lie to conform more to the hygienic line j to confine our selves to coarser diet, such as ric, hominy, araoked wheat, oat-meal, urabarn, etc. You miKht noon a mile trimmiug at brat, such a UKr or cream, but a little out door exorcise aud labor would soon brim? you anappti'ite; then yon would roiuh It. It Is true we like to prepare that which ourlumband aud chil dren inoet reliMh, aud It is our chief deliicht to gra.ify tbeir Uxtee, but a good motive often proves a fatal aud ienoraiit kiiidiien.
