Bar nard, of Nashville, Term., en the 14th inst discovered a new comet located near the starLamba, in the censtellation of the -Twins. His discovery was an nounced by telegtaph to Mr. H.H.Wai ner, at ,the Warcer Observatory, Roch ester, N. Y., and almost at the same moment Prof. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, received in telligence that a large naked comet had been discovered in Rio Janeiro, South America. Prof. Barnard is the first person the present year to re ceive the "Warner prize of $200. The fact that these two comets came into view at the same time is exceedingly significant. Raiblroad Accident. On Wed nesday evening last as the West Side train was within eight miles of Corval lis the engine and two cars were thrown from the track. Several cattle lying Li the shade of a water tank jumped up as the train approached and one of them ran on the track just in front of the engine. The engineer put on the air brakes and stopped the wheels at once, but the impetus carried the train for some distance, rolling the cow until the carcass caught in a cattle guard, when the engine and two cars were thrown from the rails. A messenger was sent to Independence for an engine and assistance. The mischief was re paired during the night, and the pas sengers arrived in Corvallis at 8 o'elock Thursday momh.g.

Every afternoon at tjfafee o'clock there is A lecture for ladiee only." - LOCAL BREVITIES. Charles Cohen gave us a call this week. He is still enthusiastic in the praise of Peruvian bitters. Mr. W. A. Owen of Lane county, on last Saturday drove 400 head ef sheep, purchased here, to his home in Lane county. Charles Kimmel and John Arzner showed their pleasant countenances at the county-seat this week. They re port business lively at Canyon ville. Thomas Wilson, an old resident of this county, and at present engaged in the lumber business just south of Can yonville, was in this city last Wednes day and called at this office. Raphael Moratt of Jacksonville, was in town this week with a load of wine and brandy, of his own manufacture. He had no difficulty in disposing of his cargo at remunerative prices. There will be services in the M. E. Church South in this place, next Sab bath moi ning and evening, by the pas tor, M. C. Miller, assisted by Rev. B. T. Sharp. We are indebted to Mr. H. Clark of Covington, Kentucky, for a pleasant call. Of course ho is selling whiskey. Thistle-dew whiskey, tobacco and Dem ocrats are the staples of that State. Hon. D. P. Thompson has just presented to the State Coggswell's por. trait of General Lane, said to be the only genuine portrait from life in ex istence of this distinguished man. The gift has been accepted and will be placed in the Senate chamber. The Walla Walla papers have recent ly had a first-class elopement item. It stems that W. B. Jones took a fancy to the wife of a neighbor named Cross, and concluded t consummate his hep piness by eloping with her, which he proceeded to do. Mrs. Cross is a sister of Mrs. Jones. George W. Jones and D. C. Mc Clellan made a visit to the mineral springs of Mr. Jones and brought back last week many bottles and demijohns of the water, of which many remarka ble cures have been related. Ftoni an analysis we have seen we are willing to credit almost any account of its virtues. Toe seventeenth session of the Cc lumbia Conference of the M. E. Church South, was held in Walla Walla, Sept 20-25, Bishop R. K. Hargrove presid ing.' The following are some of the appointments: Jacksonville, R. C. Ogles by, Presiding Elder and Preacher in Charge; Roseburg, M. C. Miller; Coquille, B. T. Sharp; Walla Walla, J. K. N. Dell, Presiding Elder and Preacher in Charge. A. Hardison goes to J unetiou City. The Vice Regal Party. The follow ing account of the reception of the Lorne party at Victoria is copied from the dispatches to the associated press, Sept. 2,0th: The royal party landed from the Comus at 11 o'clock, the sai lors manning the yards, bands playing, batteries saluting, and the populace cheering. They were received by the Lieutenant Governor, who read an ad dress. They were then escorted to Victoria by several hundred citizens, and the firemen, military and benevo lent societies. At the city gates the Mayor presented the freedom of the city and an address, and on reaching the grand stand 500 children sang the national anthem and another address was presented and replies were given by i the Marquis. As the carriage passed along the streets to the Govern ment house the occupants were re peatedly cheered. All the houses and stores along the line of march were gaily decorated, Americans vieing with British residents in showing respect for the visitors. The Chinese arch was forty feet in height and shaped like ; a pagoda. The ornamentation cost several thousand dollars. Across it3 front are the words, "The Occident greets the Orient." The mail steam ship Dakota and the United States steamer Oliver Wclcott, lying in port, were decked with American colors. Among the gentlemen presented to his Excellency and the Princess was the American consul. ' To-night the city is brilliantly illuminated. NEWS FROM THE FRONT. The passenger train nov runs to Riddleberg, , and the time of departure of the northern bound train from Roseburg has been changed to 5:30 A. M. The turntable was moved to Rid- dleberg last Saturday. There is now a jolly crew at the front. A. W. Comp- ton freight agent, E. F. Walsh Com missary and Charles F. Frizell time keeper, and while attending 3trictly to their duties, find time to make it pleas ant for all visitors. The work of con struction is being actively purged by Mr. Harris, the superintendent of con struction, Mr. Stevens, Mangan rod others, of his subordinates. It is not probable however, that the passenger train will run further than Riddle berg this winter, as this is the nearest point of connection with the wagon road until the tunnels are completed. WILBUR ITEMS. Mr. Daniel Smith has rented Mr. A. J. Chapman's farm and will soon re move thereon. Mr. James DarroW is moying into Wilbur, where he will reside this Winter. Dr. Parks gaye ojrflittle village a call the first of the week. Mr. F. R. Hill has purchased a Plummer drier. A good investment. The Sunday school has been reor ganized, and should be attended by all. Mr. Love has been very unwell for several weeks. Under the care of Dr. Shambrook we hope he will soon re cover. The school at this place promises to be larger this Winter than ever b efore. There is already an enrollment of 60, and we hear of others from all parts of the county who intend to come. An entertainment will be given in a few weeks for the purpose of raising money on the piano fund. As good actors are being selected, we expect the best treat we ever had. The action of Douglas . county's rep resentatives in voting for Mitchell is strongly condemned in this precinct, by men of all parties. As remarked by a Republican, "they will grow very gray before they are sent there again.' Lunch every night at the Metropoli tan Saloon. Examine those fine gent's shoes at Floed's. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. At a regular meeting of Laurel Lodge No. 13 F & A. M., held on the 20th day of September, 1882, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to take suddenly from our midst our most beloved brother Bernard Pitzer Smith, who has proved himself a true and worthy Mason, tried for a great number of years, and an honora ble, upright and just man, during the whole course of his life, therefore be it Kesolved, That in the death of Bro. Smith, removed from the labor of this material life to the more perfect re freshment of the spiritual world, we recognize a dispensation f the Su preme Grand Master, both sorrowful and joyful. For while it is a source of keen sorrow to his family, friends and brother Masons to know that his form will no more be seen nor his voice heard in sound and practical wisdom, about the hearthstone or on the floor of this lodge; and for the distressed t know that his generous hand is para lyzed in death; yet it is a joyful thing to know that with his body he has laid down his burden of pain and suffering, the common legacy of hu manity, and is now enjoying the pleas ures of that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler re turns. Resolved, That this Lodge offer their condolence to the family of our deceased brother who have in his death been deprived of the company of a kind, loving and indulgent husband and father, while we have lost a toble brother from the body of our Lodge. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Independent and Plaindealer and a copy containing them be sent to the mourning family. G. W. Hoovir. Andrew Jones. A. F. Campbell. . The following preamble and resolu tions were adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Gity of Roseburg, at the last meeting, relative to the death of Mr. R. Breckenridge, a member of the Board: Whereas, Death has claimed a member of this Board, who has been called from the busy cares of this world to a life beyond the grave, therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Rich ard Breckenridge this Board has lost a useful member, the city an henest, in dustrious and valuable citizen, and his family a kind and affectionate husband and parent. Resolved, That the sympathies of the members of this Board are hereby tendered to the widow and family of the deceased in their great affliction. Resolved, That the Recorder furnish a copy of these resolutions to the fam ily of the deceased, to each of the news papers of the city for publicatipn, and that they be spread in full upon the record of the Board. W. G. Woodward, Ch'rn. Whereas, It has pleased the Grand Master of the Universe to take from our midst our well beloved brother Richard Breckenridge, who has been an active member of our Lodge for several years, therefore be it Resolved, That by the dfiath of Bro. Breckenridge, Laurel Lodge and he craftsmen have sustained a loss which will long be felt, on account of the no ble Masonic qualities which marked our deceased brother, both as a man and a Mason, in his daily walk and conversation. Whilst we mourn his absence from our terrestrial Lodge we feel confident that he has merely transferred his membership to the - ce lestial Lodge above, "that house not made with hands, eternal in, the heav ens. Reselved," That as a token of merit ed respect the Lodge be draped in mourning and that the brothers wear the usual badge of mourning for thir ty days. ' " ; Resolved, That the Secretary be in structed to have A copy of these resolu tions printed in our city papers and that a copy be transmitted to the wid ow of our deceased brother. I.

Written for the fifth annual re un ion of the Pioneer Societv of Southern Oregon, by Mrs. W. J. PI y male. There is no name more intimately associated with the pioneer history of our country than that o2 General Jo seph Lane. He it was that organized the territorial government of Oregon and for a succession of years represent ed the struggling interests "of our un developed country in the halls of Con gress, meeting and combatting the ob: jections urged by older and , more fa vored sections, and at the same time watching with affectionate yearning and anxious solicitude, the progress of the various Indian wars that broke from time to time with ghastly horror on our land, wherewith others, his well beloved wife kept tireless watch around the hearthstone, braving the dangers of early pioneer life in her fearless en deavors to lay the foundation in these luxuriant western wilds, of our now leaceful and happy homes. All through our pioneer history is delicate ly interwoven the public acts of this truly great man, but how few of us knew him in the grander and more ex alted character of his home life. To know him as a friend was a living tes- O timony of the great simplicity of his life; and withal he was generous as he was brave, ready at any time to sacri fice personal comfort to rendei assist ance wherever the necessities of hu manity demanded it. His devotion to principle was a part of his very life, but he evei conceded to others the in dividual right of opinion, and accorded them the greater respect the more strongly they maintained ithem. As the years wore on and he was called to higher stations in public life, the same , magnanimity and courtesy ever marked his intercourse with opposing parties. Those who were once his friends were his life-long friends, and during the long months of his last painful illness, which was greatly aggravated by wounds received in the Mexican war and by Indians in this valley in the war of 1853, he often spoke of his pio- n3er friends and sent for many of them to visit him. One of the mest beauti ful and touching characteristics of his life, was his unvarying devotion to his wife, with whom he lived in the most perfect harmony for over 50 years; and how incomplete his history apart from the grand, true woman who through all those trving and eventful years was the light and inspiration of his life, and who with a spirit of heroism and self-abnegation guarde I and guided their rnutual interests through sun shine and shadow, keeping a tiielesd watch over the beloved treasure of home, while the husband and father periled his life on the-held of; battle, or watched our public interests at" the then far distant Capitol,- requiring months of dangerous journeying by sea or land to reach. None but a woman can realize the anxious waiting of those weary years, the proud unflinching de votion to the husband who ! crowned her life with loving kindness; eustained her through all the trials and vicissi tudes, while she kept brightly burning tie beacon light of home, around which husband and children were irresista bly drawn by the power of her love and devotion. The grandest tribute that it were possible to roceive was ac corded her when General Lane was elected to the Senate and many of his friends from the thinly settled coun try around their home' had called to extend their congratolations. He took his wife by the hand and with a trem ulous voice, modulated to the most touching tenderness, ..said: "Friends, tojPolly, my well beloved wife, I owe all the joy, all the success of my life, and I am proud to honor the sex by bearing this testimony to her womanly love and devotion." In all the suc cess of life "eventful life,! varying from the carnage-covered battlefield to a rapid transit across the continent, where dangers were met on every hand, in whatever public or private venture, at no time did the greatness of his character shins so resplendently as when he paid this graceful and well deserved tribute to his loving wife, the honored mother of his children. Fifty years of married life! Fifty links in the golden chain of time! From youth to old age they had walked life's check ered pathway in perfect harmony, sharing each others joys and sorrows until their footsteps! wer3 slowly ap proaching the peaceful shore, where they soon hoped to rest together be neath the evergreens of time. To how few lives are allotted such a blessed benediction. "Aboutj a mile below Roseburg, on the line of the O. & C. 11. R., on the banks of the South Umpqua, and in sight of the spot where 30 yoavs before was erected their pioneer cabin, stands the masole um where side by side sleep these brave old pioneerp. Long we stood in silenf. meditation by the consecrated spot And not until the golden shafts of sunset warned U3 of declining dav. did we cease to dwell upon the scene, the grand possibilities of life and the cei taiuty of the universal leveler, doatb. How like aanoramtthe eventful life of this great man passed before us, and like turning the leaves of some long closed book, passed in rapid succession the uneventful pioneer life of this grand and noble woman. The same simplicity that ever characterized their lives marks their last resting place. A plain marble slab at the entrance to the vault on the right bears the in scription, "General Joseph Lane," with age and dates, and the one cn the left ,;Polly, wife of General Lane," while a jet outlined cross tells of their hopes of another life; and thus together they rest until the grand nwakcnmj of the resurrection morn. Sleep on in your dual greatness, while the ceaseless flow of the ever restless river mur murs in mournful monotone and gen tle zephyrs, in solemn cadence wilh" the subdued notes of i feathered song sters and the busy hum of midsum mer insect life, all chant you a grand er funeral dirge than it were possible for humanity to conceive. Summer flowers shall iwine in garlands o'er your tomb and winter snows wrap you in their mantles of purity, while above are tho blue arched "heavens, ablaze at morn with the symbol of the glory of the eternal, or bedecked with the starry diadems of night and ever and on, shinjs the sweet " pale light of the star of Bethlehem point ing us to the full fruitiou of your well spent lives.

The City of Roseburg, we are sorry to say, has achieved an unenvia ble notoriety for god fellowship. A party of gentlemen from the front, having first interviewed the paymaster, came to Roseburg for a short business trip and we regret to say, they fell into the hands of the Phillistines. Mr. Gillhooly, the chief of the party, in formed us to-day that ! if he ever gets sober enough to get to the front he will never see Roseburg or Ned Dry again. ggsTMr. II. C.
