The meeting of the city council which
was to have taken jiTace last night, was
postponed until tomorrow night.
The reason none of the company's
agents express an opinion concerning
the robbery 'is that they are afraid to
'express it.

Mr. John Dalrymple, a native of Scot
land, renounced his. allegiance to Queen
Vic yesterday, and was made a citizen
of the United States by his honor, Judge
Blakeley.
Mr. F. C. Gen tech, general superin
tendent of theMPacific Express Com
pany at Salt Lake, arrived .here this
morning to look into the matter of the
robbery of the local ' office Saturday
night.
; The surveyors 'who are""to make the
surveys for the boat railway,' are now
. camped at the mess bouse. Mr. Hall
was here yesterday taking a starting
point from the government gauge to run
a level preliminary to other work-
The steamer Dalles City has changed
her landing place from Taylor street to
the Oak street wharf. This is one of the
?' best wharves in the city, being three
feet higher than the others, and conse
quently is in less danger of high water
and the annoyance pertaining thereto.
There are no new developments in the
matter of the express robbery. Several
detectives came up from Portland, but
if they have found anything to work on
they are very naturally keeping to them'
selves. They all look abysmally wise
consequently it is safe -to assume that
they have no information. .
in an arucie concerning a runaway
near Heppner,' published yesterday,
miserable evil-minded '"I"- got into
word where a 't" belonged, and eo We
said that the unfortunate woman, who
' was; hurt in the accident, suffered not
contusion, but "confusion". of the brain
The latter is a common complaint, not
-.. requiring any accidents to develop it.
"There waa a sound of revelry by night,
. . and bright
The lamps shown o'er fair women and brave men ;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose, with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And ail went merry as a marriage bell."
'Twas at the pioneer ball of Saturday,
Oct. 13th, the healthiest, happiest lot
of ripe veterans of the Oregon vintage of
1850; men and women who could tell
you all about the Indian fighting, the
sieges in block houses, and the vicissi
tudes of pioneer life, and who said they
were sixty, seventy and one or two, as
old as eighty-one years of age, but whose
feet tripped as merrily and whose eyes
shone as brightly, in the grand march,
to the time of " Aula Lang Syne," as
any of the youngster who had gathered
to do them honor. It was indeed, as
one of them expressed it, a "red letter
day" in their lives. The old settlers
gathered from all along the middle Col
umbia, some who had not met before
for years. ,
"Don't you remember old Ame Un
derwood, Mrs.! A.," said one.
"Oh, go 'long Is that you, Amos.'
And such hand-shaking, and such talk
of the days when run bnendan was a
gay lieutenant and fought Indians at the
blopk house.
But to return to the ball. The grand
march began at 9 :30, to the tune of
Auld Lang Syne," led by Dr. H. A
Leavens and Mrs. Atwqjl, pioneers of
1852 and 1850 : then Put Bradford, 1850',
Mrs. Leavens, '59 ; Mr. J. F. Imams,
'52, with Mrs. St. Martin, '50; Mr.
Amos Underwood, '52, and Mrs. Reid,
'52; Mr. J. A. Bull, (aged 81) '50, with
Mrs. Jones; Mr. John Woodward, '53,
and Mrs. Bergeron ; Mr. J. W. Stephen'
son, '53, fend Mrs. Harper, '52; Mr. and
Mrs. Stevens of Cape Horn, '52 ; Mr,
and Mrs. Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Hall,
Mrs. Dobson
These pioneers were followed by fifty
couples,' and forming sets, the old, people
showed the young ones how they used
to dance when Oregon was a wilderness
and right well they remembered, for
they danced all night ; that is, some of
them did, doing full justice meanwhile
to an old-time supper of coon and
huckleberry sauce. .
The large aimng nan or toe gov
eminent mesa house was crowded with
dancers, and one who counted said that
twenty-one sets danced at one time,
The ball was a grand success, and the
only regret , expressed was that some of

., Mrs. red Lusao and sister Florence of
La Grande arrived Monday: inieht and
are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Titos. Harlan
Mrs. Lusso is the wife of the unfortunate
spring on
fireman who was killed this
mountain division.
New comers continue to arrive and the
country is fast settling up. - Mr. Bing
and family are the last arrivals and have
purchased a quarter of school land on
upper Rock creek. A brother of Mr.
Bing's has also arrived from Michigan
and will settle near him'.
James Hunter has finished building
two immense wagon bridges across some
the uneven places on his Tyrolese
ranch five miles south of Mosier. The
highest one is thirty-five feet from the
ground. His remarkable industry
peaks truly for his Scotch extraction, a
people whose dauntless perseverance has
made thp land of the thistle a garden
spot of creation. . ' - ,';
Indian summer has come, that pretty
season which though apprehending
winter, yet gently mellows its icy prom
ise by a touch of summer's tenderness ;
and disguises the death of the forest
leaves by clothing .them in a wealth of
color far more beautiful than when they
breathed the air and sunshine of perfect
life. Nature's God is tender, merciful
and beneficent.
Mrs. J. H. Mosier is circulating a peti
tion, which has been numerously signed,
asking for appointment as postmistress,
vice J. H. Mosier, deceased.. There are
no rivals for the office as far as known.
Its duties are onerous and ' the salary
small. When the solitary store and
rough pine shacks around it multiply to
the extent that a first-class office is de
manded, with a salary of $10,000 per
annum, we will petition for the removal
of the pasture fence and bid for the
world's fair.
E. N. Phillips was again arrested on
Monday, the 14th charged with threat
ening the life of Elijah Husky. He was
bound over under $600 bonds to keep
the peace, which were furnished by Jas.
.Brown, ana once again the detendant is
given a respite from the clutches of M
Dichtenmullor, the constable of Mosier
precinct, whose acquaintance has had a
good chance to ripen into that 'familiar
ity which breeds contempt. !
The numerous Phillips cases, together
with the wholesale stealing which has
been going on of late, bids fair to occupy
a good share of the November term of
circuit, court, if the , thieves can be
located. Louis Davenport has lost about
twelve sacks of seed wheat, which the
thief could have bad for the asking and
without trouble or danger, for the gener
osity of the squire is. proverbial. .He
would give away everything he has
even to his best suit of clothes. Geo
Salinger's barn was also invaded Satur
day night and a saddle, bridle and blan
ket Btolen, together with, three sacks of
corn.
A bull belonging to Mrs. Bachelor of
Mosier met with a sanguinary death
Sunday and, apropos, Frank Weidner,
whose rifle ended its existence, is ' pos
sessed of enough forbearance to . entitle
him to pose with the three-Graces. The
bull has been a terror to the neighbor-'
hood for some time, recognizing no
rights which he was bound to respect,
indifferent 'to fences, careless of, the
rights of the owners of the "fields they,
enclosed,- aggressive, belligerent . and
dangerous.' Two weeks ago be gored
Lee Prather's pigs to death and he has
frequently disputed possession of the
road with pasBers-by. Friday, night he
tossed over with his horns about fifty
yards of fence on Mr. Weidner's farm,
and demolished twentysix shocks of fod
der, worth, with the corn in them $1 a
ehock. ' He ran Mr. Weidner's children
in the barn the following day and even
refused to vacate the premises when the
irate owner tried to drive him away.
Instead of shooting him then and there,
as many would have done,- he saw the
justice of the peace, who, after hearing
the facts, ordered him to kill the animal
at once, and Sundoy afternoon Mr.
Weidner at a distance of seventy-five
yards, accurately drove a rifle ball be
tween the eyes and into the brain, kill
ing him instantly. This rids the neigh
borhood of a very great danger as the
bull would sooner or later have killed
orae bne.

"A well known weather prophet says
we are going to have a cold winter, and
gives the following 'signs The coons
and groundhogs have a heavy growth of
fur coming on ; the chipmunk and squir
rel are the busiest little animals in the

side of the trees in the woods; the
feathers on the geese are heavier than
ever before; young lambs are growing
wool that seems marvelous, and sheep
that have been sheared are rapidly re
gaining their fleece."
. It might be added that the goose bone
is spotted, and Governor Pennoyer gets
left in January ; that firewood is expen

that the only genuine groundhog sau
