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

, 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. Surely he was meaner
than Ahab for he was willing to pay for
Naboth's vineyard.

The Mucklce have one of the Alex
anders living on their place on Sauv.e's
Island Alexander nars a. Yiter-ia-law
and a brother Harvey employed around
the place. Slid Harvey is very good
looking, and Charley Muckle who as
pires to be daisy, grew jealous,, and
summarily dismissed said Alexander
fro:n the M net: lev ei'rploy. There were
some words about shooting ducks on
certain ponds. It 13 thought the tluck
the trouble was about was one of a kind

their island ranch; wo think Harvey
apples would be a surer crop and moreH

Mrs. Giltner and Mr.. Dr.
Yergain
received some very nieo valentines and
Mrs. Conycrs received two that made
her very mad. Jin: Muckle got one

frotn. Canada to ight down South and
