Slowly, but, stead ily, he has advanced in the estiu.alion of the peoplo of Oregon until to-day h; oc-N t-upies the hrcudest position that a grate ful people can bestow upon Lim through their inalienable right of suffrage. He was born in KoMe c w nty, Ohio, May ii, ic-j, ins Liiner ueuig a native v ir g'ni.ir. and his hicther of Puritan stock. j ' The faiuilv immigrated to Oregon in .1831, the trip across the plains occupy ing pearly si)c months.

In 1870 he was the unanimous choice of the Republicans of Linn county, ii: conven- - tion assembled, as candidate for lterre Kentative, ami received his full .arty vote at the joles.

It was in the midst of this session that his Ciikl died, necessitating his immcdiat- return home. In the last session, which ab D:mocratic, Mr. George received tho votes of the Republican Senators for t!ie honoraltle position of President of the Senate.

It is with some such feeling that wo welcome to our table Vjcx's FioRAi, Guiee, which J co'ies to as dressed in the neatest and most elegant cover that enterprising house ever issued. To every lover cf garden work we commend, in the hearti est possible manner, this beautiful and J exceedingly practical publication. There is not a flower or a vegetable grown that is not illustrated in it, and n-ome valua ble advice given as to how to raise and care for them. Beside; all this, the look contains a charming colored plate of flowers, one rontajp.ing a .eolhjttion of - vegetables, and a third shows. a speci men of Vick's Extra Early Potato.

A ciiddic aged man by the name of Slocum has been in tho tn"tfghborhood of Columbia City, Oregon for the past two months ; on more than one occasion has he Wasted publicly of young ladies that were gone on him, mentioning names without regard to the feelings of the parties concerned. On Saturday eve ning last he was confronted by a young' lady of Columbia City of whom the self styled masher had been makingrernarks, took a broomstick to hnn .'end gave hiin a richly deserved beating and made him go down on his knees in tho presence of a number of gentlemen and make a most humble apology and take back everything. It is to be hoped that the ladies of this county and else where will give this fellow th? cold shoul der in tho future and bar him from all cecent company. JCiOGAX. 2TSWS , The neck-tiq ja' ty iven by the Good Templars Wednesday craning was a suc cess. A large and brilliant assembly graced tho occasion, and the neck-tics were stumiing aijd attra'cftve, and elici ted much fun. Tho S Helen band cfis coursed sweet music We heard their first essxvs which sounded like a sick rooster with a sore throat, and must say they have learned wonderfully fast, and show great adaptibility as well as taste, and Prof. Lisher deserves great credit or his skill in their, instruetic::. They deserve many thanks for their :haus in entertaining the guests assembled. We and our family arrived latu but were !indly eared for by Mr Judge Moore, Mrs. Giltner and Messrs, Spencer and Francis Miles. Tho coffee was.patfe just right and the cake was skillfully prepared and tasted delicious. The promviwidcs, games, music, conversations wfre all appropriate.. Fveryorie ap peared at the;r fcaae,' and enjoyed them selves according to their notior. . The young girls and ladies were charmingly dressed. . Wrj would mehtioii names, but would scarcely know where to counm:n.:e 'and where to end. After awhile a part of the company adjourned to the Mason ic Hall for a regfilAr dance. The rest remained at the lodge room J and enjoyed themselves in singing and conversation. Mr. F. M. Fowler invited us to a birth day dinner on the Luztta on Wednesday. This was also our own birthday. His trim little trading beat is a beauty to behold. It contains two thousand dol iars' worth of goods in the store and 3 very neat rpons besides. .These are nicely furnished and a beautiful wife and 4 interesting children, ono boy and three girls make np the complement of thishapiy funily. A lively jovial broth er of the wife is along, and gives vigor to buviie. and, pleasure. The dinner was of the best. The meats were ex cellent. Th'rie were numerous jams, jellies, and preserves and two or three kinds of rich cake', and a splendid cup of tea. We never enjoyed onrsolvcs bet ter than we did in this elegant little honu on the water. The children were the imn"e of health and everything a bout the premises looked cheery and in viting. There is a family by thenime of Fow ler vho reside in Columbia City, The mother and grandmother are both sick, and there is no one to look after them. S. A. Mih's found they needed wood and made arrangements that they .-. supplied with this necessary article at his expense. It would be better it some others would interest thsniFeives in oth ers need. This is not much like Jim Muckle who when we 1 i.y sick ccncoct cd a scheme to rob oar little family of a part cf their home, and when our chiid- ren lay at the point ct 'death with the measles, had old Caudle ou.t surveying around our place so ho could gobble up our water fronl.

Jin: Muckle got one representing a long fphce giving para geVic to a sortialling brat Some one sent qs a blockhead that was sawed out in tho mill, and a soldier who ran away frotn.
