He re- tained his connection with this paper for three years, and in 16."37 disposed of Ins interest to Oen. James P. Parr, who is thf sole proprietor. Just about this time Col. John W. Forney started tiie Philadelphia "Press," and he secured the services of Mr. Montgomery as the Har- risburg correspondent of that paper, ai Ji0.s;tion which he accepted for one year, In Mr. Montgomery threw aside his pen and sought a new field and wide- ly iliirerent field for his energies. It was aliout this time that railroad construe- t ion became a profession with manv men whose strength of will self-confidence and equanimity of purpose enabled them j to overcome what appeared to others to ! e insurmountable obstides. Mr. Mont- gomery, having determined to try this ; line of business, with that cool delibera- j tion characteristic of the n:an of iron will, j went straight ahead, and in the same ! y-tr secured, together with two other gentleman, a contract to build a bridge i across the Susquehannah river at Lin- den, Penn., for the Philadelphia and j Erie Railroad Company. The contract I was coiypleiej most successfully, and he afterwards helped to finish other portions ! of the same road, becoming one of its ! directors in 186$ and remaining as such I until the latter portion of 1SC0.

TUe power that placed her j by the side of the grandest river of the j world has led her on to grace the froit J ranks of prosperity. It used to be ut- ' tered as a reproach that one liaiied from here, but it is so no longer, and Major Adams who was sneered at as an imprac ticable dreamer looms up as real as the j sphinx of the Desert that outlives all ages, and wears the most real of realistic j faces. Surely ihe dreamer has built his i castles of real stone and mortar, and j stands an example of iron manhood, and ! shows that the prophets of later days ; have not lost the inspiration of the proph j ets of old. We have walked up the path- j way of scorn with sneers, like thistles to j prick our feet, but we have followed the : light ahead till our path is smooth, and ; the sun shines out without a cloud.

Adams Dear Sister and Frutuh yome (ays ag0 I sent you a copy of -fhe Temperance Lesson Book." The Ciood Templars, as you perhaps knew, securet two hundred copies which they are pacing in the hands of educators tlirough the State with a view to secur ing their adoption in our schools. I also scn(l to the Superintendent of Pub- lie Instruction of your county and some of the teaeheis. I am writing from the Mountain House, at the Summit of the Coast Range, between Corvallis and Newport. The air is delightful and such spring water as we find in the Mountains. I am enjoying, the trip very much. Mr. King has organized two Lodges since I saw you, one at Bridgeport and one at Mi Jdleton, and will organize here to-night, and I am meeting with good success in the Band of Hope work. "We have received very encouraging replies from several schools with regard to using these books. If w'e can secure instruction in the Public Schools we have won a great victory, for I fully be lieve that people are intemperate from ignorance rather than choice, that edu cation will furnish to each person a rea son for total abstinence, for prohibition. The " Poets of New Hampshire " has been at last issued from the press, com piled by Bela Chapiiv, and published by Charles It. Adams, Claremont, N. IL Jt has 800 pages; cost in cloth $3.00 in full gilt 83.50. It contains specimens of 300 poets. Major Adams has his biog raphy and nine poems in it. His sister, Mrs. M. A. A. Senter has also poems and a biography and his deceased broth er John 1. Jra Adams, former Lditor of the Holyoke Independent and Principal of High School, Holyoke, Mass. It has already met with a sale of 8000 copies. It is typographically one of the finest books ever issued from a New England press.

Strttve's wife is in a de cline. This will be sad news for all that erst knew Lassa Knighton, who was a charming young lady, and has made one of the finest worn ea of her time. Harry Struve, her eldest or., is tirsf mate of one of the largest ships that ever entered Puget Sound, and Sewall it Co. of Bath, Maine, promise him the command of one of their best ships the day he is 21 years old. Mr. Ay res, the man of mist, told Mr. Struve our paper had bust up and the mist was flourishinglike a green bay tree, or words to that effect, but Mr. Struve thought it a little fishy and that the statement needed salt. Mr. Struve knows Major Adams is hard to get away with lightning to catch and lightning to hold, and after you j,et him, you have a bigger contract than if you had let him alone. We met Judge Marquam in Portland. The Judge comes from old Maryland stock, good as any in America, for Maryland, though somewhat Catholic, led the way in matter of equal rights to mankind. The Judse has livod to see the realization of hopes long deferred and is still hale and hearty. After many years he has found himself in the promised land. The advent of the railroad is having a refining influence on people. We asked a young lady at Columbia City if she was going in the direction of Spencer's, She said " No," she " was hunting a swine that had escaped," instead of saying she was "chasing after a durned old hog that had got e-out." III! 9 I I "I GenL Nesinith in the procession, the Jr'ioneers being requested to tafce tne rear by Genl. Morrow, leplied, 4i The Pioneers follow nothing but an ox-team and God Almurhty." " Then take what place you please," replied Morrow, and Nesmith took the head of the procession. A leading citizen of Oregon said the best thing the Muckle3 could do was to make up with Major Adams by just and honest treatment on the best terms they could, they would have to come t it at last, and the longer they put it off the more humble pie they would have to eat. Mr. Howard wishes to sell his ranch for six hundred dollars. It contains 35 acres, quite a lot of it is partially cleared There is a good house on it 24x20 and a big shed for hay. It is well watered. Dart Creek runs through it, and the land is of excellent quality. Willis Morse and Eddie Giltner have gone back to the High School in Port land, and Lee Stewart and Grant Watts to Salem. These are fine promising young men and mothers hopes ana mothers' prayers are like doves hover ing ever over their pathway. Mr. Dubelbower met with quite a loss iii cordwood and corduroy road. He escaped when Habersham lost so much, but the fire-fiend found him at last. Mr. Cushman lost by fire a few thousand shingles and suffered some damage to his garden. Mrs. Johnson's little child passed sud denly away, and Mrs. Moore went over to Hillsboro to visit her sister in her af lliction. The little child was likely to be blind for life, and has passed to aiand where the films will no more cloud its innocent vision. The Lucia Mills (Semple's) were rep resented in the Portland celebration by an apparently living tree with an axinan at its trunk. The illusion was so perfect and the design so well carried out, the Oregonian called it the finest exhibit in the whole procession. Hon. H G Struve gave us a piece of the railroad tie in which the last spike was "druv." He says there was con siderable confusion, and a vain attempt to get a photograph of the affair; yet, thank God ! it was "druv !" and all the world rejoiced The Kellogg was splendidly adorned to welconae Villard. Captain Kellogg enjoys anything that helps develop the country. He has done no smad amount of that business himself. His own his tory would read like a romance,yet be the truth. Dr. Stewart and wife, Mrs. Morrison, Judge Moore and Major Adams went up Wednesday to seo the illumination. big delegation attended the procession and preceeding exercises, but did not ttay to the evening of the illumination. W. H. Whitney presented us with an ironical golden spike. He keeps up with the wants and requirements of the pub ic, and is all the tiaie increasing his store and making his place attractive. We aro glad to chronicle his success. The Dr. Jones we spoke of in the pa per as sweet-scented was not a Dr. of medicine but f laws. We hope not all the Joneses will take umbrage for the actions of a worthless shyster who lias left his country for his country's good.. 2TSWS DH0PS- Tom Welles is in town again. Miss Willie Caples has some excel- J lent photographs of herself. The official clique should hire Major Adams to do their spelling. Rev. S. C. Adams was vi.4itinr rela tives in St. Helen last week The interior of Blakeslev's lotel is be- ing clothed ready for the paper. Mrs. Edmonds and family 1 itely went down to visit their old homestead. Miss Nellie Moore has returned to St. Helens Hall to continue .her education There will be a Sabbath School exhi bition at the Bay view School house Sat urday afternoon. Miss Cora Miles went to Portland Monday and remained to witness all the entire celebration. The procession and illumination in Portland were pronounced unc qualed by the foreign guests. Mrs. Dr. Yergain witnessed the trans fer boat make its first passags from the mouth of Tide Creek. The sudden change from dry to wet has brought to almost every one ca tarrh and sudden colds. . Mr. J. R. Beegle's little d mali ter is attending Miss McMurtry's school, and ranks high as a scholar. J. R. Frierson was in towii the other day. He was looking well, and ap peared in better spirits, Young Mr. Roussel has samples of splendid wall paper from San Francisco, of which he is the agent. Sunday eve ourself and family rode over to Mr. Godkin's and then on down to Mr. Benham's, and had a jxand time. Mrs. J. L. Allen lias gone to Forest Grove to visit her father, Mr. Blank while Mr. Allen is out selling patent rights. Mr. S. L. Lovell has been surveying in the lower part of Columbia and the upper part of Clatsop counties for Un cle Sam. A certain man took away a bit from a child to save it from choking and also himself from choking with thirst. Con siderate man! Dr. Caples and wife and Mrs. Morse had a special invitation into trio Pavilion to listen to the magnilicent music that graced the occasion. Mr. E. M. Wharton and wife have fine photographs of themselves, some taken in their bridal garments and some in their customary wear. We met in Portland J. II. Hayden, an old-time acquaintance, and found him the same old Major that commanded the Grant invincibles during he War. Hon. Nelson Hovt has bought the place formerly owned by N, P. McCoy, and is putting the house in repair. We are glad not to lose our old citizens and friends. .Mr. Roussel, brother in-la v of Peter Shannon is soon expected from San Fran- Cisco. Mr. Pousse! is a wl-althv and much respected citizen of that flourish ing city. There was a big delegation from St. Heh'n to Coiumbia.City to welcome Vil lard, but he passed on the Columbia in stead ot the lad much to the chagrin of the citizens. Tho official career of Thomas A. Mc- Bride has been eminently successful in this that he has penned many rascals, and thrown a solemn respect of the law over many others. There were three men met the other day on Muckles' wharf whose age amounted to 2L'S years Captain Lemont 71 years, J. L. Laud SI and James Muckle Sr. 76.
