Smallpox Is reported epidemic at tfeppuer, Oregon, a local physician de claring that there are mo many cases that any attempt to che.'k it seems al most hopeless. The original case Is said to be that of a young lady from the Kant, and who is supposed to havo contracted the disease while en route west on the train. A rumor rendu d nre yesterday that the town had been quarantined, hut the railroad ofllcials hud not heard of it, and it is probably not true. Representative Roberts has introduced a bill providing for a tax levy of I mill upon all the taxable property of Oregon, as returned bv the assessment rolls for 1 1!K)0, to meet the outstanding warrants drawn on the scalp-bounty fund. Jt appears that there are a great many scalp-bounty warrants not paid by reason of tho fact that more scalps of depredatory animals hivo been taken ; than was anticipated when the scalp- bounty law was passed tan yearn ago.

Gard, during his six years reridenca in this county, has gained the love and respect of all our people, icganllees of religious belief.', who are all soiry to ecu him leave. Tho people of Marysvillu will find him a kind courteous gentleman, and a friend to both Catholic and Pro testant." j The county court is having some veiy excellent and much-needed improve ments done on the Chennweth Creek road, especially to the sandy part of it lying south of the Catholic Mission gardens.
