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.

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.

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

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

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

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

The action of the M-iekles in robbing
us and our little family lo ! these many
years will give them an immortality of

to do i:i a corner has been proclaimed on

them grNt courage. They are awful

improved. The improvements will make
it almost indcspensable to every faniily

of November 27th speaks cf it as follows:
"The sketches are admirable and the

THE TOLEDDWEEKLY BLADE
CIRCULATION 1 15,000.
This, vast circulation is fceause tlic"
Blade is a paper for the whole country.
It is not thrown together, bui eery
line of it is edited by competent handy.
It is a complete epitome of the news of
the week, and whoever r ads the Blade
carefully, needs nothing else to be well
informed as to what the world is doings
Editorially the Blade has made a proud
record. It has an opinion of everything
that effects the people of the country,
and it expresses it boldly, fearlessly and
forcibly. As good as the Blade has
been in past years, Ave shall make it bet
ter tlian ever in the vear to comn.
Among the features for the coming
year will be the regular " Nasby Let
ters," tw serials by Nasby, entitled
Nasby in Exile," and '"Nasby in the
South," a serial story by Ernest Warren,
entitled' "Court and Camp :" a seriall
by John McElrov, author of Anderson-
ville. " Reminiscences of an Army
Mule ;" a serial written for the Blade
by an Austrian nobleman ; besides our
regular departments. "Household."
- J 7
" Answers to Correspondents,' " Camp
Fire," etc., etc. We publish all th new,
and latest corrected markets.
Politically, the Blade will continue
an exponaut of true Republicanism, be
lieving that the best interests cf the
country demand the continuance of its
control in the hands of the pary that
represents the highest and nios; advanced
ideas. -
THE EtM POWEH.
The Blade will fight this monster in
iquity with all the power it possesses,
and every way possible. The Blade
holds the liquor trafric to be a greater
curse than slavery, and a thousand times
more dangerous to the country.
We ask the co-operation of every well
wisher of the Republic that our
work may be effective. We ask every
Republican in the United States to as
sist in extending the circulation of the
BLADE, especially among those of the
Republican party who believe as wc do
in the necessity of Pulverizing tiii:
Rum Power. We want the Blade in
as many families as possible this Winter
that it may be read before the excite
ment of a political campaign, giving it
time for its truths to take root in the
minds of i'.s readers.
