streets, and Waldron Brothers wero in
the drug business on Main street.
Turning to the literary 'part of the
paper we notice on the first page a col
umn and a half letter from Portland,
signed "8. J. R.," and dated, February
15th. The writer tells of the delightful
time he is having m Portland, "for nav
igation being closed, business of all kinds
suddenly, cleared, freights, cargoes and
passengers accumulated at Astoria that
threatened an inundation of the same
when the river opens, if it ever does."
The writer describes the grand times he
had skating with "Cousin Mary" and
two other girls and gives a graffic de
scription of an effort on his part to skate
himself into the affections of his best
girl which effort resulted disastrously.
Returniag to the subject of the weather,
which the writer says ia "cold in a man
ner that surprises the oldest inhabitant"
he gives the following illustration:
"The other morning I encountered
Bridget the servant-girl in the hall,
and asked 'How i9 the weather this
morning, Bridget any warmer?'' In
dade sir,' she answered, 'it's cowlder all
the. time; it is not long ago I turned
some bilm" wather from the tayr kettle
into. the hollow of my hand and before I
could get to the door it was frozen solid.'
There is a column of miscellaneous
items, the selection of which bears evi
dence that Mr. Hand knew how to make
a paper that would intrest all classes of
readers. ( Here is one that will do to re
peat. "Dr. Adam Clark, who had a
strong aversion to pork, was called upon
to eay grace at dinner where the prin
cipal dish was a roast pig. He is re
ported to have said: 'O Lord, if Thou
canst bless under the gospel what Thou
didst curse under the law, bless this pig.'
Another tells of a little girl of five years,
who was listening to a preacher praying
so lustily ' that the roof rang with the
strength of his supplications. Turning
to her mother, the little one whispered,
'Mother, don't you think if that man
lived nearer to God he wouldn't have to
talk so loud?." Still another is so good
that we cannot resist the temptation to
reprint it. "Ben W served in the rev
olutionary war, and had been in the
habit of repeating his long and tough
yarns so often that at last he believed
them himself. Ben would give a per
sonal anecdote of every battle of the war,
in which he himself always figured as
the hero. On being asked if he was in
rhe ' battle of Monmouth, he replied:
'I guess I was, I had my right hand
pocket full of powder aiid my left hand
pocket full of bullets, and I had my
father's double-barreled ducking gun,
seven feet long ! Sir ! Seven feet long !
I put in a handful of bullets and every
time I set her off I knocked the British
down, sir, fifty at a timel General
Washington rode up to me and said,
'Ben, do stop; you're doing 'em too bad!'
I touched my hat to the general and said
'Well General, if you say so I'll cease
firing, but I think I ought to kill a few
more of the scoundrels.' . With that the
general sprung from his horse and
throwing his arms around me exclaimed
'Ben. don't call me general; call me
George.' " .
The local column informs us that the
democracy of the city had lately held a
primary and that two full tickets were
in the field. One faction was termed
Radical' and the other Conservative.
The Radicals ha.d carried the east pre
cinct of five delegates, while the Con
servatives elected thirteen delegates
from the west precinct. There is
nothing in the paper that would indi
cate that" the republican party had any
standing or being ia The Dalles.
Attention is called to the fact that the
best way to go to the Willow Creek and
Burnt River mines is by "the -Canyon
Citv road. There is no danger from In
dians as the niil'tary has driven them
all out of the country. Houses are
fouud at convenient distances all along
the road where there are excellent ac
commodations for man and horse, j
Among these are mentioned Ward'8 at
Cross Hollows,- Moppin's at Antelope
Valley, Wallace's at Currant Creefc, j
Sutton's ,at Bridge Creek, Myer's at Al
kili, Allan and Stone's at the Mountain
Boyd's at Rock Creek and Brackett's at
Cottonwood. The editor offers to stake
his reputation against a Confederate
dollar bill that a man can ge.t a meal at
any of these places that cannot be beat
in any hotel in the city. The Pioneer
oil mill had just started at Salem and
R. W. Helm had brought a sample of oil
to O. S., Savage's paint shop and Mr.
Savage had promised to give it a trial.
Captain J. H. D. Gray had purchased
the steamer U. S. Grant and was going
to tafee, her to Astoria, expecting to find
sufficient business near the mouth of the
Columbia to keep her busy. J. T.; Jef
freys had gone to San Francisco to . pur
chase material to commence the publi
cation of the La Grande Sentinel; . On
the 3rd of March, instant, the steamer
Idaho had succeeded in cutting her way
through the ice tobe wharf boat at the
terminus of the railroad and no further
trouble from ice is anticipated . between
here and the Cascades.' . Captain Coe in
forms the editor that the ice in the up
Coliimbia, at Hellgate, is piled up about
forty feet above the water in one solid
mass and that it will be some eight or
ten days before boats will be able to
pass up the river. 'The only evidence
the aper furnishes that there was a
preacher in the city is furnished by a
paragraph which says that several ladies
and gen'Jeman called at Rev. Mr. Con
don's last night, and it ia supposed some
one had a license.
The "Telegraphic Summary" shows
excitinp times in Washington, President
Johnson had just been impeached.
A ; , dispatch dated February v 2d
says -The -excitement . in Wash
ington is greater than at any time since
the assassination of- Lincoln. In the
previous August President Johnson had
removed Secretary, of War Stanton from
office. The senate had passed, by a
strict party vote, a resolution declaring.
that the president had no authority for
his course in the removal of Stanton.
Stanton had had Thomas arrested for an
attempt to gain poesession of the war
office. After debating at. considerable
length, the question of impeaching the
president, the bouse, on the 24th of
February, adopted the impeachment"
resolution by a vote of 126 to 47. A cpmT
mittee of two Stephens- of Pennsyl
vania and Bingham of Ohio was ap
pointed to go "to the senate and at the
bar thereof, in the name of the house
and of all the people of the- United
States to charge Andrew Johnson - with
being guilty of high crimes and misde
meanors in office." The committee ap-:
peared before the senate on the 25th and
made 'announcement of the intention of
the house to exhibit articles of impeach
ment against iTesident Johnson and de
manded that the senate make order for
the appearance of Andrew Johnson to
answer said impeachment. On March'
5th the committee again appeared before
the senate, followed by the members of
the house, when Chairman Bingham an
nounced that the committee was ready
to present the articles of impeachment.
The sergeant-at-arms ordered silence on
pain of imprisonment, the articles of
impeacdment were read, and the mana
gers and other' members of the house
retired.
A dispatch dated March 2nd an
nounces that Governor Woods of Oregon
had addressed an immense audience at
Concord, N. H., and 'had delivered one
of the best speeches ever delivered in
New Hampshire, which leads the editor
to note that the "personal friends of our
governor in this city are exceedingly ju
bilant over his recent success."
Another dispatch reports the destruc
tion of Barnum's museum in New York
City on March 3rd.
The paper shows that its editor had a
fine staff of able correspondents ; but
the length of this article admondishes
us that we must forego any extended no
tice of these. We close with an extract
from a letter from Canyon City signed
"Old Pike" and dated February 20, 1868.
The extract may serve to show that how
ever much- times may change, politic
ians remain eternally the same. '"The
politicians of each partv," savs 'Old
Pike' " are active both- confident of suc
cess; and even among my limited ac
quaintance there are some fifteen or
twenty aspirants for every office from
constable down to senator ; and I reckon
they will' all get office,, for I must ac
knowledge that it beats anything that I
ever saw every aspirant imagines that
the success of his or their party depends
oh his getting the nomination for this or
that office, and so it goes, all alike."
