There is a deposit of 3 inches of Bilt, or sediment from the muddy water of the Columbia, uniformly covering the D. P. & A. Nav. Co.'s dock at the foot of Court street.

A large number were in attendance and the cloeing evening was a merry one. All expressed themselves sorry that the season was over and said the ? whist meetings would be missed. Although this was the last gathering for whist, a dance will be given by the members next Wednesday evening at which a few of their friends will be bidden. Mr. Frank Allen, who is in town to day from Mitchell, says that Hamblet is still in the John Day country, and being vigorously hunted. He has declared he will never be taken alive, and has so far been successful in keeping from falling into the hands of pursuers. He had a close call the other day, however, a party caught sight of him and fired - several shots at him, but he got away. The only hope his pursuers have is to catch him when he.is compelled to get sup plies. The. county has a standing re ward of $750 for him. - Some youthful parties, with more dia mond than thoughtfulness have defaced two of the large plate-glass windows in the postoffice block by scratching names on them.

Chalk and pencils, are. bad enough, but when diamonds are used to deface - valuable plate-glass show win dows it is time to call a' halt. Can't Furnish Understanding-.

Nature may be aid ed, however, by. study, and we recom mend to him tht, reading of such simples as "Robinson Crusoe" and "the Mother Goose Melodies." As for the rest we re affirm that cigarettes, opium and the colored decoction of today misnamed whisky were not incidental to the-Eight-eenth century. . When Baby was sick, we gave her Caatoria.
