N. 1!., Die. 7th. 1SS3. Mv Dear. Cousin I will now try an 1 write a few lines, and toll 3011 about Christmas?. Wo had a Christmas tree 1 i 1 our nhooMiouse last Tuosd.iy evening I ami we had a lovely time. The tt ai'Iicr ; hul to work ci v hard-and she hatl help too, but she did tnuch, and the .scholars ! the larger ones g ive her a ring and writing-desk, and she was ery much pleased. I will tell you what we had at the Chrism as tree. First, Music, and about the next was a drama; the name, "Down by the Sea," an. I it went cfY very well and many said we did splendidly. Then we h id some tableaux, cue of them was Dashful Lovers. There was fellow aud girl on thestagj a!id they kept mov ing their chairs towards e ieh other and when the curtain came back again, they j were very close together. Another was Temptation, it consisted of three charac ter;;, one was hol.iing a g'ass out to a notiierj and he was almost hold of it," but I was an angel and had my hand over his head and the other hand . was point ing upward. Another was Hope and Despair. The first scene was a biide dressed in white. The next .scene was a Widow kne?t at a chair with a Bible in it, and when she was there, some one was sinking behind the curtai?-, and when she sang. But tint Ifealor was there" and something else, I glided in as an angel, a:id waved my hand over her head, and pointed at the Bible and then pointed upward. I hope you will ex cuse my mistakes-j for I am getting sleep y for wr: have 'jeeu out nights so mueh getting ready fur Christmas that I am xery tired. I went to the Lyceum at Durham illago last evening. It was quite interesting. They had a del ate, and a pyramid of girls dressed in white. I was also ii; that and another tableau, "Too much of a good thing."' It was lots of girls drrssf d in white and one gentleman and the girls all in love with him. Now 1 will tell you what I got for Christmas "r" For music at our Christmas tree we harl our organ, and the next .tay we had singing and playing at noon and recess. Now 1 must say, Good night, and lots of love for all. Your loving cousin, May Adams. Rax FnAXCisto, Dec. 5G, lioo. M.vjort Adams D:ar Sir: My father, O. L. Ro'jsel, having arrived Safely in this city, requests me to beg you to ex cuse his appnrc.it neglect of yourself. lie was obliged to stait from Oregon Mjoncr th in he expected and could not therefore call to See you. You wiil therefore excuse him and believe him vcur friend and well-wisher, both for health and happiness. Yours llespectfuily, Victoria E. Roussiil. M.uoji Adams, St. H-len, Col. Co.. Or. That Sheet?. Jini Bonder's sheep is the greatest specimen of evolution known in Oregon, and conclusively pioves what Beechei tried to prove when he was in Oregon that the M tickles and the rest of man kind wi re monkey:- bef re they evolu'.ed. Bonder lives on Butts' place in W. T. opposite Columbia City. This place is overflowed in the June fresh more or less according to the amount of water, and this sheep abi leth like Faith, Hope and Charity with Mr. Denser, who is cdled Jim for short. When the watev comes m; this sheep go?s down after the wappatos, and ha a well developed rooter like a hog, and it is e vol tiling in to a hog. and its wool looks very mnch like pin feathers as if it was e volutins into a duck also. It is all sorts of a she?p, and very much like the apostolic saint, is all things to all men. When the water gets very high, and covers all the appV-treep, but the boughs, it era -.vis into the crotch of the tree, and eats the apples like a bear. It evidently intends to adapt itself to circumstances. On its perch it can watch the waters, and if any small fish wander around in that vi cinity, it can drop- o.'own and lish them up. Some knowing ones say they have seen the initial symptoms of fins on this sheep. Mr. Denser will probably make a fortune exhibiting this sheep, aud pul ling the wool over people's eyes. The only trouble will be this sheep has such ah adaptability it would go t: eating dudes with the same facility it dr es fis'i, appl.'s, and wappatos. It h:s a great taste for old rubber boots and cloths ly ing on the grass to dry. It ate up a whole week's wash once on a time. The way it was detected, it kept flouncing itself around, pursing up its mouth, simpering and shaking its head, they knew from that it fiad eaten any amount of rufhVs, flounces, laces and rib Dons. If any one don't believe there is such a sheep they can call and inquire for themselves, and any amount of affi davits can be obtained from reliable peo ple in Columbia County as to the re markable qualities of this woolly sheep. A man who would doubt the truth ol the foiegoing, ail any one should .say to him should be 4 Bah." This is a more siugu'ar circumstance than that of the salmon they bragged so much about on Sauvie's Island. LOOAIi 27SV73 Oul- young friend Lawrence Van Blaraeom recounted to us how he killed a catamount over seven feet long; "My dogs rushed up to the foot of it big fir not far from our home near Gleneoe one : evcuili'' after dark. I took inv lantern aiul went near the foot of the tne, my friend 111 Nortlirup also went along. 1 fired with this rifle up in the tree when? I could see something big, but the branches and spindles half concealed it; it then made leany gyrations around the tree and all sorts of movements. Ed Nortlirup va; afaid it would pounce down on my dog.''., and kill them, aud said he would go for his dogs, who were J well trained and' let the creature come down as they would easily tree it aiiain. I drew off mv dogs, an I Ed. called his on, my father come down with an axe on his shoulder. The ani mal was evidently iu the tree, but kept exceedingly still, so my father cut down the tree, and down came with the tree the catamount. My first shots had wounded it, and it fell neroxs a limb, and died. I stuffed it. and this is the history of my shooting a catamount. It i rumored among business men an;l capitalists that a great boom in real estace will start in at Columiba City as soon as the Spring opens. The recent shock over the resignation of Villard has paralyzed people for awhile, but that will soon be ever, fini again Columbia county will become ;t perfect iv.achtrom or excitements Wc are no v no longer on the " Kalania Branch" bat on the main line as Tacoma has been declared the terminus of the read by the direct ors, and Portland is now only a way sta tion on a small and Columbia County sits .on dj icater, and don't you forget it. We don't have to lighter here to get a peck of potatoes to market. So look cut for the cars while the belt rings. With this term of Court Mr. 4S. A. Miles finishes the administration on the estace of John Gum. This has been a labor of love on his part, as he has charged nothing for expenses or time. He has made many trips to Portland on account " f tin: deceased, has caused a fine monument with fence around it to be reared, and all that a brother could do he has done, and done gratuitously. By his action he Ins saved money for the school children of Sr. Helen and Co lumbia City. Honor to whom honor is due ! Ad-:nteri:n is a lover of a certain la dy. He is a very attentive when no other lovers are around. He tills iu the i.lauk places of her existence with his captivating pre-.encc. When other lov ers appear, he withdraws for awhile or to speak astronomically, lie wanes, when they retire, lie waxes. When ail others fail, he never fails. He "believes in the old adage, "Patient waiters are no loser.-." And Still he hangs out like a shirt flapping on the end of a bean-pole in a hiidi irale. The action of the M-iekles in robbing us and our little family lo ! these many years will give them an immortality of stink to sniff at. What they thought to do i:i a corner has been proclaimed on the house-top. They waked up the vrong passenger. Our sickness gave them grNt courage. They are awful brave m a irraveyard.

He was a ccusin cf Cox or the Muckles It was impssible to tell just how it occurred as he was doubtless alone at the time. It was surely a sad way to die, crushed to death by the ruthless logs in the whirling eddy of a fierce stream.

LITUUARY NOTICES. i A Valuable Publication. I ! Each number of 7'ie West .Shore is an improvement upon its predecessors and a pleasant surprise to the subscribers. Pro-gress" is the publisher's watchword and perfection his aim. With its Janu ary number the Journal enters its; tenth year, and will tlren appear in an intifeiy uw dress of type, be generally remod .del and have eight pages added to its present size. More attention will be de voted to general literatures than former ly, and its artistic features will also be improved. The improvements will make it almost indcspensable to every faniily in t he North west. The Daily Orejonian of November 27th speaks cf it as follows: "The sketches are admirable and the workmanship would do credit to any city in the Union. Well written de- scriptions of the scenery illustrated are trivep, and tthe . number also contains concise and interesting articles on min ing, agriculture, fishing, transportation, etc. It is exclusively an Oregon pro duction, and has done a great deal to wards making the rescources of the Northwest known abroad, having Wen Samuel has just purchased at a large ex pense a complete new dress for hi jour nal, and from the advance sheets of the January number it is deemed safe to as sert that it will be the handsomest work ever published in Oregon." The Xorth ivest Seivs of the L'Sth says:" The West Shore is recognized as the most powerful instrument in drawing desirable immi grants and in making known abroad the resources of the Pacific Northwest, "With the Jan. number it begins its tenth year, and will then be entirely remodeled and enlarged, and will be made faf more at tractive artistically and iu its literaty f.-atures. While it will continue to de vote as much attention as formerly to the resources of our country it will en ter more fully the general field of litera ture. . The improvements will make of it a journal that should find its way in to every counting room and family cir cle on the coast."
