Kind friends, have yon heard of the
town .of No-Good, oh the banks of the
river Slow, where the Some-time-or-other
scents the air and the bolt (io-easies grow ?
It lies in the valley of WhatVtbe-use,
in the province of Let-her-slide; it's the
home of the reckless I-doa't-care, where
the Give it-11 pa abide. The town is as
old as the human race, and it grows with
the flight of years ; it is wrapt in the fog
of tne idler's dreams ; its streets are'pav
ed with discarded schemes, and are
sprinkled with useless tears. Ex. ''

A large audieuce was at the opera
house Wednesday night to witness the
performance of "A Royal Slave,'' the
splendid theatrical attraction which won
such widespread popularity here last sea
son. The company this year is an even
ly balanced one, every part being well
sustained, the scenery is good and the
costumes rich and beautiful. Everyone
was highl pleased with the performance
and Manager Groves exercised good judg
ment in booking the a' traction for a sec
ond season, although as a g&neral thing
one performance, if ordinary, satisfies
the average theatre-goer.

A friend of the faithful and ever-ready-to-work
horse offers the follow inn sug
gestion:' "May I suggest to all drivers or
others who ate interested in horses that
in frosty weather the bit should be warm
ed by rubbing or otherwise before put
ting it into the horse's month. Most
persons know the effect of ice-cold metal
upon the bare hands but many do not
realize that the effect is the same upon
the horse's tongue, when the freezing bit
is put into the mouth. Much suffering
for the animal would be prevented were
this fact more generally: recognized.''

Harrisburg is having a contagion of
smallpox, according to reporrs that have
bsen received by Health Officer Davis of
this city, three cases having recently ap
peared, all of which came from exposure
to cases in Junction City, where the dis
ease is also prevalent. From the reports
received, it appears that the Infection in
Harrisburg has been widespread, and
there are likely to be many . new cases
doyeloD unless active measures are in
stituted to prevent them. A number of
school cbildrea are said to have been ex
posed, which makes the situation all the
more serious. Albany Herald.
A letter written by J. A. Dawson of
this city to his old home paper in Mis
souri has borne fruit, A few days ago
Mr. DawEon received a letter of inquiry
from Texas. It was written by a lady
and the way she fired the questions at
Mr. Dawson was not slow. It was plain
ly -evident from her letter that she had
heard of Oregon but had learned nothing
of its climate, resources, people, schools,
or n atural advantages. She asked about
everything imaginable aBd a few things
besides, and conclnded with the informa
tion that she and her family contemplate
coming to Oregon to reside. This item
is given to illustrate how little is known
of Oregon in many sections of the Eaet
and South, and also to show how a lew
words of praise, such as Mr. Dawson
sent to his home . paper, . will advertise
oar state and latareat the homeseeker in
these less-favored sections.
