The . words and music were high class, the fun pure and wholesome, and facial ex pressions and contortions side splitting. The tone of humor at no time dropped to the vulgar and the whole entertainment was moral in its teaching. A La Grande audi ence has rarely ever , been better pleased."

The case involving the mat ter of the priority of mortgagee or mechanics liens in the matter of Hotel Corvallis, in this city, came up before Justice Moore of the snprerne court, last Monday i This is the case brought on by M. W. Wilkins, who was unable to satisfy mechanics liens on the hotel that he undertook to erect in this city, also mortgages. After various proceedings, ap peals, etc., it went to the supreme court with F. E, Beach appellaat and the Gerhard Es tate and Philip Phile respon dents. A former decision in this case wis made by -Judge J. W. Hamilton. The case was then seat back for a new trial to determine the interests of Beaeb. The decree was that the lots be sold first, and the proceeds be applied first to the satisfaction of the mortgage, the balance; to gether with the proceeds of the sale of the hotel , to be applied to the satisfaction of the me chanic's liens, pro rata. The decree, after the first ap peal, was that all the lien claim ants, except Beach, be post poned to the Hen of the mort gages, both as to the land aad building. It is now held by the supreme eourt that since Beach is the only hen claimant who participated in the appeal, it was error to enlarge the relief as to the other claimants, and they should take nader the former de cree, while Beaoh alone can par ticipate in the fund ander this decree until after the satisfaction of his claim, the other mechanics lien claimants beiag postponed to the mortgages en the build ing as well as the lots. The case ef f. L. Lewis, re spondeat, vs John Craft and M. B. Craft, appellants, was reversed. This is a case brought - before Judge George H. Burnett in Linn county. It was an action brought by Lewis to recover $300 paid by mm to the defendants on account of the purchase price of some, cattle, and also for dam ages foi the refusal ef defendants todeliver the cattle. The plain tifi alleges that bv a written agreement defendants had under taken todeliver 200 calves at $15 per head, the calves to be de livered at the plaintiffs home, hat later this agreement was modified so that 184 were to be delivered at Lebanon, when the remaiader of the purchase price should be paid. It was alleged that plaintiff tendered payment of the balance dae, but defen dants alleged that the agreement had not been changed and that they had , tendered the cattle as agreed, with the condition that Lewis fay the balanee before &i$g pessessien,. but that he refused to so pay the money due. The parties introduced testimony to support their contentions, at the close of which the trial judge instructed the jury to bring a verdict for plaintiff for $300, be caase the defendants had failed to deliver the cattle as agreed. The defendants appealed to the supremo conrt and secured a reversal to the above decree, the higher tribunal , holding , that it was an error to give the instruc tion mentioned. The higher court holds that "the rules of the law do not require the perform ance of vain things." Most Snesessful Session.
