How marked a change a few hours may bring forth. We know not the moment that any of t us riiay be called to join our friends of past years in the sile city and we rejoice and socrow, that: 'The leaf leas tree hen Snriiuf elull come.

Hut sun or thower can nu'er restore The friend whom now wc see uo more; And birJa may sin: and Zephyrs Mow These tiara can never cease to flow." Mrs. Melviua E. Fisk is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hard man, who have resded in tho John Day valley since 18GS. Their daughter, Melvina, was born in Lebanon, Linn county, iu this State, October 19, 1S5G, which makes her nearly thirty-one years of age. She and her now bereav ed husband, W. R. Fisk, were married April 7th, 1S72, and now leaves to his care and future w and two girls, the youngest, being a boy, three years old. Tho death of Mrs. Fisk was brought about by too much exer tion on her own part. Dr. Riu earson was in attendance from the beginning of the sickness, on Wednesday last, and called to his aid for cniisultatioUjDr.Howard, of your city. All that medical as sistance could do, and nothing was left undone, was'of no avuiland about 2 o'clock p. m., Sunday, Mrs. Eisk was no more of the earthly throng.

At 12 o'clock to-day tho fcliool bell was sounded, the Odd Fellows I and Bebekas met at their hall, I and headed by the Canvon Citv and Prairie Citv Brass Bands, marched tj the family residence of tho deceased, and after tho necc siry deliberations proceeded to Grange h-tll, where: the services of the Order were held. Tho latter hall was crowded to its utmost capacity and thero were many who could not gain admis sio:i. Ibiaded by the Brass Bands, tl e fuueral proceeded by slow step to the graveyard, where after appropriate exercises and singug, the bo.'oycd daughter, thcSkind and loving wife, the dutiful moth or and kind friend's mortality was left to moulder in the grave; her spirit in trust and belief, rests in the bosom of her Father and her Col.

Her independence was gained by declaration, and without tho shed ding of a drop of blood. But though she escaped asttuggle with European oppression, tho samo fratricidal hand of party strife, I that has hitherto kept Spanish j America in a chronic stato of revo- ; lutiouarr warfare, cast its shadows ! over tho country; and no sooner j was the incubus of a conqueror's dictate removed, then inteutine antagonism prevailed.

Efforts to weld there common interest have met with only temporary success. Walker's lillibustering expedi tion into Nic.it aguo, forms ono of the most interesting episodes in r r'..iv..i a and has attached a romantic re nown to the cities of Cranada and Leon aud the lakes. Due prominence is given the im portant question of interojcauio communication, aud the various schemes are exhibited. This sub joctnaturally embraces an acccount of the Panama railway and De L?Kop'c uhip canal across tho Isthmus. Political parties, the changing forms of government in tho several statas, industrial pro gress, institutional matters, eccle siastical affairs, and the social con dition of the people receive appro priate consideration. Taken altogether this latest ad dition to the great literary enter prise of the ajjo abundantly sus- ! tains the reputation of its author, and will be found of mactical in- terest and impoitauco alike to tho general reader, tho historian, tho statesman, and the sociologist. r m Louis Cozad left for his luwie ie in Douglas county 0:1 Mojfffay' sta;e A little girl of Sam Miller's, aged about live years, fell from a horse one day last week and broke her arm.
