Dr. Stewart has moved into his liouse
which he purchased of the lat Mr.
Morse. Mrs. Morse has packed away
her fprniture in the upper rooms of G.
W. McBride's store. She will visit her

sin. The house is quite ft historical relic.
Here the venerahle Dr. MeBride and
wife hreathed their last hreath on Earth.
Here Mr. Moise died, here was the hap
py silver wedding of the pair lately sep
arated by death, here was tho marriage
of Mrs. Parthena Smith, here the funer
al ceremonies of Mrs". Edward Henricf,
here were many happy and sad times.
If tho walls could speak how interesting
would bo the record.
, Yesterday we saw Mrs. Perry. She
had been over to Mr. Vre-'s (who &as
bought the Kinzey Caples place) doctor
ing Luella Bozartlv, daughter of John
Bozarth. ' Thia young lady, who fiad
been a governess in Mr. Cile's family;
wassi-jk with bilious inteVmitter.t fever,
and very low. While there Mr. Miles'
folks got frightened about thfc state of
his arm, fearing the erysipelas would
reacli his head, and sent for her. She
had , great difficulty on accoiirit of the
rou:lr.e.;s of the Columbia in coming
over but did, and yesterday concluded
to go back to Mr. Gile's to attend the

AVo speak in a parable. A certain
widow woman had a claim she wished to
hold, and got a married man who pre
tended to have for her the kindly care cf
a father to go out arid stay all night on
Baid claim. In the small hours of the
night said " father " concluded he wan
tea lier'claiit: and tried to jump it She
kept him off with chunks of wood and a j
..Gatting "gun in shape of an axe, and j
held tho fort. He looks very cheap ev
er since, and wot'ld sell out for two bits.
It is needless to savhe is a Macule man,
a nice man, don't want the Cott-jrniAN,

Forlorn Hope at Columbia City don't
want us toay so much about Glendyo.
Probably he was one of those that hoped
Gleudye would get away with bur sub

signs " himself Forlorn Hope ; he can
coon writo himself Despair, and jump off
a "wharf into the Columbia River, unless
like his great leader he drowns his sor
