Perhaps but few Judges give such a warning to the prisoner at the bar and to the people at large as did Judge Mc Arthur on the occasion of the passing of sentence on Gid Beau champ last Saturday morning. He spoke of the young man's fu ture life, of his surroundings and of the coinjrieteness and fairness of tho trial. He stated that his attorneys were two of the ablest in the dis trict. Sterns and Currey, and that as such they had drawn out perhaps all the evidence and that he felt that the jury had give in their verdict in accordance with the evidence pro duced and after other remarks and after hearing the bov's statement and also a very touching and sensi ble appeal from Col. Currey, the Judge gave "Gid" ten years in the Penitentiary. Tho above case should be a sol emn warning to others who continu ally cany deadly weapons. It is a very dangerous and viscious habit and almost invariably leads to troub le. Tee Prisoners. On last Saturday evening, our worth' Sheriff John J. Wash, started to Salem with the two prisoners, John Darby and J. G. Beauchamp, the former goes to the Penitentiary for life and the latter for ten years. Their actions while departing was quite noticeable. "While Beauchamp was crying and seemingly realized the crime he had been convicted of, Darby was curs ing and calling some of the citizens verv hard names and seemed to be but little eqercised in regard to the beastly and double crime he had committed in this place a few months past. . "Good gracious mv, Mrs. Price ! Sick again? Why don't you try Dr. Mutt's Dandolion Bitters ? They cured me !" County Court will convene on the oth day of July, on the first Monday in the month. Judge McArthur, L. B. Ison and Chas. Parrish took their departure for The Dalles on last Saturday even ing. Judge L. 0. Sterns returned to his home at Baker City last Satur day morning. Miss NonieMiddlesworth, of John Day, returned home from below a few days ago, where she has been attending school for several months past. Mr. H. Stanislawsky took his de parture from this place a few days since. His departure leaves Can yon City without a practical watch maker. A horse race will be run at Mi Vernon race track, on Fridajj June 2nd, 1880, between H. Dodton's Johnny Moore, and a filley be longing to Frank Todhunter, for $100 a side. i Editor News: In the News of June 19, 1880, under the item of "Election Returns," yju make the fol lowing statement: "Geo. McEUley, Mr. Maxey, Phil. MetschAn and M. S. Hellmao, consti tuted the Returniug Bjard." Now the truth is that in no mannor whatever, did I have anything to do with the canvass of the returns of the vote" polled in Grant County, at the late election, neither was I a member of the board who performed that daty I was in attendance simply fr the pur pose of observing the proceedings of the board, and to niske, for my own us a copy of the votes polled fur the respect ive officers in the several precincts. In conclusion, 1 would say that I know of no officers in Oregon, who are called the "ftetuining Hoard," but that law requires the County Cleric to take to his as.-istance, two Justices of the Peace of the county, who shall proceed to i-peu the returns and make abstracts of the vtcs. RepoctfulIy, PHIL. METSUIIAN. Canyon Ci'y, June 24, 1880. We publish the above in justice to Mr. Phil. Metschan. In regard to jj j his being a member of the board our informant was mistaken. As to the "returning board" we knew of no other suitable name as they canvass ed the returns, hence the title "Re turning Board." Died. In this city on last Tues day evening, Mrs. M. C. Clark, wife of V. H. Clark. Mrs. Clark was aged 30 years and 8 months. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother. She leaves four children and a husband to mourn her sudden and untimely death. Mr. Clark and children have the sympa thy of this community. A CARD OUTRANKS. I desire to express my heartfelt thanks to neighbors and friends who rendered such kind service and sym pathy to my wife during hex sick ness and for courtesy shown my familv after my wife's death.

A great lo: s was oooasioned by moving goods out of s ores; but this could not be helped, as at one time fears were entertained that not only that block but tho block south would be swept away. Mr. Ed Griffin got his hand badly cut iu breaking thnugh a window; Mr. George Herbert cut his finger Mr. Gerson, sprained ankle; Henry Sohmidt. bruised knee. These are the only ac cidents that we could hpar of, and it was very fortunate that none were se rious. Thus ended the fir of Friday, and w think there is not a citiien but feels a. warm spot in their heart fop the ere hys of the Dalles. A CORRECTION LETTER FRtfM IOWA; Smith land, Woodbury do., ) Iowa, May 31st; 18S0. j Editor News: I thought it might be agreeable to you to hear how the people in '-Old Iowa" are getting along. Iowa has been "blown up" pretty high in the papers, but never so high as the wind took it up this Spring, or rather a portion of the property. There has. bean no great damage done to anything by the wind yet. The reason, the peo ple that live here have got so used ta these '-western gales" that they make things to stay on the ground. I have Lved in Western Iowa for fourteen years and have never seen a better prospect for fruit than there is now. The tamo fruit, such as applpsand cher lie?, will have to be tied up to keep the limbs from breaking off, from the weight of the fruit. The corn looks splendid. After the dry weather the wheat nifty come all r'ght but it does not look as nice as us ual. We are having just rain enough now to make the crops grnv nk'ely. Trusting it has not tired you to reau this, I remain Respectfully Yours, MANTA EAST. Large numbers of sheep are being driven over the mountains from Doug las and Jackson counties.

N e wspapcr work is remor.seless in us requirements and i'xiir'ut in it demands. In the matter of permanent reputation it is scantily rewarded. The sau e .itu'ly and industry which arc expanded in the treatment, of topies of evanescent inteiest and of temporary importance, if employed in another direction, n i rht re-ult in the production of remarkable books, with a respectable place in lit emry annals. A mm upon the Ftaff of a newspaper is there as a clergyman is in his pulpit and parish, as a college proleor is in his recitation room, as a lawyer is in his tribunals uf justice. None of the.e need knowledge and tacr more than he does, and upon equitable estimation, few of them pjssesses more of either than himself.
