Tun Conversion of Zaccheltj.'
"Theru uro some nconle in this nin
tpcnth centurv who do not bellevoln
.-mlden conversions. I should like them
to tell mo where Zaccheus was convert
ed, lie certainly was not converted
when lie went up into si tree; he cer
tainly was converted when he came
down. lie must have Iwen converted
.somewhere between the branches and
the L'round. The Lord converted him
riirht there. People say they do not
believe in sudden conversions, and that
if a man is converted suddenly he won't
hold out, ho won't be genuine. I wish
we had a few men converted like Zac
clieui, in London; it would make no
.small stir. When a man begins to
make restitution, it is a pretty good
sign of conversion. Let men give back
money dishonestly obtained in London,
and see how quick people will believe
in conversion. Zaceheus gave half his
goods to the poor. What would be said
if some of the rich men of Lojidjn did
that'.' Zaceheus gave half his goods all
at once; and he says: 'If I have taken
anything from any man falsely, I re
store him four-fold.' I think that is
the other half. Hut to get Christ is
worth more than nil his wealth. I im
agine the next morning one of the ser
vants of Zaceheus going with a check
for C100, and saying, 'My master, a few
years ago, took from you wrongfully
Jiltout '2o, and this is restitution money.'
That would give confidence in Zacehe
us' conversion. 1 wNIi a few caieslike
that would happen in London, and then
people would not goon talking against
r-udden conversions. Moody.

true that the anximum of snow and ico

A GiUANTie Irici.K. There is no
Teeord of such ice-fields ns have been
gliding past our shores this season, says
a letter from Newfoundland. The seal
ing captains report the ico in many in
stances twenty feet in thickness, nnd
hard as floating masses of granite. Had
the season been a stormy one this ice
would have played sad havoc among
onr fleet. From the 8th of January,
when the ice first appeared here, till
the llth of May, it was never out o
siirht a huge river of ice slowly float
ing pat. Ships tit it t came through it
reported it to be two hundred miles in
breadth. Its length is unknown, but
in all probability it extended from
liaflln's May to tho Gulf Stream, a dis
tance or 1,."IM) to 2.0(H) miles. Tho in
tense cold of this inter seems to have
converted the whole surface of tho sea
along Greenland into ioe-flclds, and no
sooner was one borne away on the
liosom of tho Arctic current than an
other one was formed. One would sup
pose that iieli an enormous ice delivery
would temporarily lower tho tempera

us a cold summer. Kven at tins date
vast quantities of ice are passing south,
though not In sight. Tho first two outward-bound
mail steamers from Liver
pool were unable to enter the port of St.
Louis, owing to the ice, and had to run
on to Halifax; and the same is true of

' BUTTEVILLE, JllM 20, 1875
Mr. Editor: On receiving the sad Intelli
gence of the death of Col. Jo h. Meek, which
occurred at his residence In Washington
county, on the 20th Inst., Judge Grim, Presi
dent of the Pioneer Association, called a
meeting of members at this place, which con
vened at 5 p. m., President Grim occupying
the Chair and Willard H. Reea chosen Secre
tary. The Chairman said: "The object for which
you have been called together on- this occa
sion, la for the purpose of paying the well
deserving tribute of respect to the memory
of a distinguished pioneer, Col. Jo L. Meek,
who departed this life on Sunday last. A
member of this Association has fallen by th
wayside, and It remains for you to take sue!
action at the present hour as yoa may dee
most befitting so sorrowful an ocaaaloB."
On motion of P. X. Mathleu, the Chairman
was rtquested to appoint a committee of
three to draft resolutions expressive of the
feelings of the members present.
The Chair appointed the following named
persons: F. X. Mathleu, Willard H. Rees
and P. P. Castleman.
The committee soon after made the- follow
ing report:
Whkrkas, We have learned, with profound
regret that Col. Jo. L. Meek departed this
lire on Sunday last; therefore,
Henolved, That in the death of Col. Jo. L
Meek, in whom Oregon, uuden all the chang
ing vicissitudes of her history, for more than
a third of a century, ban loot a true consist
ent and early friend, and the Pioneer Associ
ation one of its distinguished membeni.
ltctolvcd, That with becoming sensibility
and sorrow we humbly bow to thisdispeusa
tiou or Providence, and express our heart
felt sympathy with the family and friends of
uie ueoeasea.
Resolved. That the Secretary is hereby re
quested to furnish the Wiixasiktth.J'akmeb
with a copy of these resolutions and proceed
ings, with the further request that the patters
generally throughout the limits to which the
.Pioneer Association is confined, may be
pleased to give place to the same.

Another Pioneer has gone,
We hope to a better laud of rest.
Life's labors o'er. hi task Is done.
And left this laud of the teUlajj sun.
CoL Meek, like fait Carson, for nearly a
half of a century, has been widelgt known to
a gMeration of mountain men and pioneer
settlers on the Pacific coast, of whom to-day
but few are left to tall the story ofitkelrevent
fill lives.
Col. Meek was born in Wasbingtoa coun
ty. Virginia, in 310. Leaving th parental
roof at the early age of eighteen. be bent his
course toward ' 'tie dark and bloody ground,"
aud soon after asrlved at LoulavUle, Ky. But
finding notbingxthere to arrest bla westward
inarct, he conUaued his journey tSt. Louis,
Mo., where, said he, "I ka4 not remained
long, when, Ha the first flow, 1 began to re
alize the true, situation that I was far from
friends aud tome." It waher that he made
the acquaintance of Robert Newell, a young
man from Cincinnati, Ohio, who was two
years his. senior. Young Newell had served
an apprenticeship at Ik saddlery business,
and for mm year prior to meeting Meek, had
been lamenting between the cities of Louis
ville, Memphis and St. Louis. Newell, at
that time, was of slender form and delicate
constitution; so inuoh so that It was thought
he was predisposed to pulmonary disease,
and was advised by physicians to quit his
trade for a time and seek for a restoration of
his health in the high arid plains bordering
on the Rooky Mountains, Accordingly New
ell and Meek soon after joined Win, Sub
lette's recruits, destined for the Rocky moun
tains.
And, as in later years was Newell's wont
to say, "Took up our line of march on St.
Patrick's day in the inorniug, 182J, for the
wild interior plains of the continent, hence
forth to feast upon buffalo and grizzly bear."
Having reached the wild mountain home of
the trapper iu safety, little thinking they
were now destined to spend the flower of
their youth and mature manhood in those
wild mountainous regions of the Plains,
Newell soou became a sub-trader tor the fur
company, among the numerous native tribes
by whom they were surrounded, while the
youug Virginian was transformed into an ex
pert trapper, aud m'tlme became a renowned
scout throughout all that vast region of lofty
mountains and broad plains, which extended
from tho Missouri border to the Pacific oceau.
As may well may be Imagined, Newell and
Meek became fast friends Also, brothers In
law before leaving their mountain home,
which they abandoned in 1S11. Still west
ward bound, reaching the Willamette valley
the same year, both settled In Tualatin Plains,
wboro Col. Meek remained until summoned
to appear Iu that higher court above; tud a
llke summons, ere long, will be served upon
Orurm T..rrltnrv'i last rm.inli.lin- nlnn.

friend, I now, more than, ever realize the

at Slmnmron Sprlugs.

QBAH&E; MATTERS.
I wish to say a few words in answer Jo aa
article by Granger ,.ln the Oregonian of the
23d ult. He seems to be somewhat disturbed
by our present business arrangements and
prospects, and sees-difficulties and dangers
that may not be quite so clear to others per
sonal interest may, have warped his vision to
some extent. On the whole, I have no great
fanlt to find, but would urge consideration
and forbearance. Our order is now, and most
of us are unaccustomed to business our Ex
ecutive Committee as well as the rank and
tile and we must expect blunders and have
patience until they can be corrected. The
plan of business organization that he men
tions presented by the Committee on Traos.
portatlon aud Cooperation I don't rightly
understand; and, as it was not publlshed'in
the proceedings, Lam unable to say just what
Its provisions were, but have heard that a
word or two changed, while on its passage,
destroyed Its force. If so, of course we were
left as we were before; and deeming some
kind of organization necessary, our Btecu
tive Committee under their general jwwer
of direction and supervision kjw tit to take
the steps they- did, which apparently not
meeting tbs-general view, has placed' us in
our present. position; and, I am sorry to say,
gave rise to some feeling that sboulinot ex
ist among as. Now, whether they did just
the best thing they could have deno-uuder
the clrcuaiatanoes, is the question. But bay
ing the cenerali gsod of the Order -at heart,
they desarreoureonfidence and support and
should receive It. While I fully agree with
Grangeaas.to th importance of strictly ad
hering to the law, in 'the absence oMaw some
thing was necessary to be done, aod-they did
it as soetned best. Let us kindly construe
their inclines ad assist them to dlsoharge
their duties, and recover from tbaambarrass
ment,.lf any, uader which they suffer. This
seems-to me-the trne solution. Itet us march
on unitedly bearing and forbearing, and we
shall, soon. ;b able to profit by past experi
ence, and lay a foundation to build upon that
casoot be. moved. Unfortunately, from motives-of
economy, or other loans, the (great
ncajprity of the Brotherhood are kept in Ig
norance of their duties for waal of the neces
sary printed matter to instruct them; so that
instead oi their not doing batter it is a won-
iderthat they do as well. The actions and
meetings of both the National and State
Grange should be iu the hands of and acces
sible to all, so that we could act intelligently.
Until that Is the condition of things, we must
necessarily act without concert, and can ar
rive at no proper conclusions. Still, as be
fore remarked, with patience and forbearance
we can overcome all obstacles and rectify ail
mistakes. Then let us approach the subject
in the true spirit; kindly advise with each
other, and if we find that wrong has been
done steps taken without sanction of law,
even go diligently to work, attributing no
evil Intentions remedy the evil, devise bet
ter plans and faithfully assist in carrying
them out.
I agree with Granger that, business
is a main objeot of our Order and must go
hand in haud with our social organization,
each lndependentof the other except that all
questions touching tbo good of both shall bo
Bottled by appeal to the Executive Commit
tee, who, by law, must stand aloof from all
business complications, that they may ba Im
partial Judgos. This seems to be Granger's
leading Idea: A proper code of laws and a
strict adherence to them; a proper busluoes
organization under a Board of Control elected
by the Order Independent of It, so long as
acting within its sphere, subject only to ex
ecutive Interference when It exceeds its lim
its, I concur ln all this, and will work as
hard as any to secure the adoption of wise
uieafiures. I only ask for time, forbearance,
for full and kindly discussion; aud have no
doubt all will be well. Let every man who
has a word to say, say It through the press,
and by letter, that a general understanding
may be arrived at before the meeting of the
State Grange, where, laying aside all person
al and partisan feeling, all wounds can be
healed, wise and prudeut measures adopted,
and we will go on our way rejoicing In new
strength and vigor. To accomplish so desir
able a result, every Subordinate Grange in
our Jurisdiction 'snould go diligently to work
discuss, compare notes, and do all in their
power to disseminate Information and arrive
at au understanding of their wants
and w Ishes. Our deputies also should make
It the theme of their discourse, and stir up all
tho interest they can. Information Is what
wo want, and all we want to enable us to act
lu lmrmouy, aud without harmony we cau
do nothing. What Is said lu regard to the
late action of the National Grange, creating
new (1 curves unattainable by the mass of the
Order, ami therefore tending to tho creation
of an aristocracy lu our midst, I am not sulQ
cleutly informed 'to discuss. If such action
has been taken, there will be time to meet it
when we have the proof. Of course no such
idea win ue tolerated by American people.

Mass., who was a practical Christian.
One sultry summerSunday, says the le
gend, the sound of .distant thunder
heralded the approach of a shower.
Suddenly the preacher stopped, and
peering from side to sido through tho
church windows, as if observing the
tokens of a change in the weather, he
quietly said: "Brethren, I observe that
our Brother Crosby is not prepared for
the rain. I think it our duty to help
our Brother Crosby to getin his hay be
fore tho shower." With that ho de
scended from the nulnit. and with sev
eral of his hearers, proceeded to Mr.
Crosby's hay field, where they worked
mm an iimir, or until tne nay was
housed. The staunch old clergyman
then returned to the Church nnd re
sumed his discourse.
Tlio light Brahmas are excellent lay
ers, especially in winter, when other
breeds are unproductive. They are a
good tablo and market fowl, being large
and easily fatted; and as a profitable
fowl for farmers and villagers, they can
not be excelled. I say emphatically
that the light Brahmas aro the breed
for general use in the United States.
There aro other breeds that are valua
ble, and which may be preferred by
many to tho Brahmas; but when we
tako all their good qualities into con
siderationlaying, hardiness, table
qualities, etc. the majority of breeders
now give them the preference.
