Ilia charges will be reasonable- At Cincinnati the hiftli water has reached tbo enormous hejpcbth of 70 feet above low watermark. Dr. Strange's dental rooms for the present will Le at his residence, ia the- house occu pied by the late Dr. Palmer. ILev. II. P. Webb of this city, will deliver & lecture to the students of Wilbur academy oa Wednaaday next, at 7 o'clock. The second quarterly meeting of the M. E. church, will be held at the acadeny iu ilbur, next Sabbath. The presiding elder, P.ev. I. D. Driver, will be present. A C. Craig, county judge of Union coun ty, was ia I'osebury this week examining our new jail, with a view of obtaining plans for a jail in Union county. The coldest weather recorded at the signal office in Iloseburg during iast year was 9.4 degrees above zero. This week tho cold reached 3.3 degrees above. I. C. Johnson, a former resident of Ozark couuty, Missouri, is the only person who jot seriously injured at the fire. The next morning Drs. Haines and Dry were called and performed a ur;jical operatioa. The patient is ia a fair way to recover. Hon. Thomas Breuaan arrived last niht says the Standard of the 15th, in Portland, .on the ettamer Columbia from San Fran cisco. Mr. Brcnnan is a young man, but is also one of the ino3t distinguished of the Lrish agitators The ladies of the W. C. T. U. of Rose burg gave a very pleasant entertainment at the Cringe hall on Wednesday evening, consisting of music, addresses, select reading, etc. The concluding exercises were com posed of eo-'ial converse, signing the pledge, etc. The evening was pleasantly spent. Leonard Blaine of this county, was exam ined last Tuesday Lefore Judge Fitzhugh, upon a charge of insanity and w as remanded to the asylum at Salem. lie has bet a there before and seems to be incorrigible. We are not aware Uiat be is sny relation of James G. Blaine. Mr. Joe Koberts, the-champion pugilist of Idaho, was in town this week and expressed his intention of going to Portland to meet Sullivan. He seems quite confident of van quishing the champion, while two hundred miles away, tut wc fear tho meeting will never take place. Hon. A. C. Craig of Union county, a former resident of this county, whose mem ory ha lieen held in high esteem oy all who knew him twenty years ago, has paid ns a short visit and will remain several day3 at the Metropolitan hotel. His many friends will be pleased to greet hira. One day last week a party of sheep men engaged in a coyote hunt They started one on the high mountain ridge, which made for the river. James Short's hounds took the track and chased the animal about ten miles, finally overtaking uid killing him on an island in the river. On Monday evening Messrs. Hogan and Butler, brother and brother-in-law of F. P. Hogan f this city, arrived, direct from Min nesota, on a visit to their brother. The ex sheriff recognized young Mr. Hogan as his brother, but was puzzled to know which one of the boys he was, as he had grown to be a larger and Letter looking man than himself. Dan Card well, the affable agent of the Palace c'othing house of Portland, has open ed sample rooms next door south of tho Met. ropolitan hotel, where he will exhibit suits of children's, boy'a and men's clotliine ready-rhade, and take orders. A perfect fit guaranteed. The Talace house warrant all their clothing made from goods manufac tured at the Brownsville woolen mills, the reputation of which i so well established as to need no recommendation ia this State. Go3s, Sawyer 4; Packard launched from their yards at Bath, Maina, January 29, a wooden steamer, not named, of about 930 tons, and designed as a passenger and freight steamer for the Oregon coast. She is for the Southern Oregon Improvement compauy. It would appear from this that even if they do not build the railroad to P.oseburg, the com pany i?itcnd largely to increase the business at Cons Bay. Jacob Tichnor arrived Monday evening from Port Orford. He was five days get ting through, havii left Denmark Thurs day of last week. He came over the Camas valley route and in crossing the mountaia had to pass over snow two feet deep and had to break the trail most of tho way. He re ports that the people of Port Orford are en couraged over the prospect of a railroad. There is, perhaps, as much rivalry, con sidering the gravity of the subject, among the itinerant tombstone men and our local sculptor as in an other business. Our local artist was out some days ago drumming up his business. He called upon a rich widow whoso husband had crossed to the other shore some months before. Learning that two of these itinerant vendors of tombstones had solicited the work before him, he opened business by saying: "I am an honest, hard" working man, and I am the foinest sculptor iu all Douglas county. I know Mr. I'ecord and Mr. Walker have been trying to sell you their botched up work that they get made oway off somewhere. Now I will tell j'ou, Mr. Record is a bad mon; he drinks whisky and takes the widows out Luggy riding and talks all kj nds of nonsense to thini, and thin chates thim by selling them worthless painted up bronzed work that ai'nt good for anything at all at ail. Mr. Walker he is a bad man, too; he pets drunk and marries the widows. Now for meself, I don't want to do anything of the ind; all I want with the widows is to sell them good, honest tombstones for their dear, good dead hus bands." Many prohibitionists are sensible people, but there are cranks among tbern, and like a prohibition crank there is no crank. Because a foolish grand jury of Portland recommended that licenses be granted to houses of ill-farce, the Rescue, a prohibition pa per, remarks: "This is the legitimate fruit of the high license liquor ordinance of that city." Such perversity is hope-les. 0- 0- cud 0- L 0- Laud Grants A late Washington dispiitch says: Near ly all the members of the Paciiic coast dtde. gation ia congress have received petitions from the Sacramento board of trade, the Portland board of trade and other commercial bodies on the coast, praying them to oppose the bill declaring forfeited the land grant o the California and Oregon and the Oregan and California railroads. One of these has already been presented to the senate, and others will soon be presented to the house. It is set forth in these j etitions that these roads ?re necewary to give merchants of Cal ifornia a compsting railroad outlet iuto Ore gon, whose trada has already been greatly damaged by the opening of the Northern Pa cific, and if the land grants are forfeited those parts of the road that are cot yet built will be abandoned, doing material injury to the commercial interests of California partic ularly. Mr. Budd, of the second congressional dis. tiict of California, said to-day that he had received a number of letters from merchants ia his district, advising him to investigate this bill and consider what it w ould accom plish, and ia view of the Democratic plat form of California, he is at a loss how to act Other members from the Paciiic coast aie iu a similar situation. The original grant to theso roads was 2,126'.52G acres, and the condition of the act was tho construction of a road to the State line south from Portland and north from Sac ramento. Of the grant 1,445, COO acres have been earned, leaving fi(jl,92(J acres subject to forfeiture. The granting act provides that the land shall be sold iu quantities of not more than 1G0 acres, and at a price net exceeding 2-50 per acre. It is thus one of the least objectionub'o of the original grant ing acts passed by cougref s. The committee on public lands of the house have considered the bill forfeiting the remainder of the grant, and agrees to report it, witn the recommendation that it pass The bill, however, has not yet been brought in, and there is some possibility that it may again be taken up in committee, as it ap pears the people of the Pacific coast do not all favor its passage. Tinpot items- Snow in the valley is six inches deep. (leorgc lledrick has been sick, but has re covered. Mrs. Gardiner has bseu very low, but is now convalescent- We learn that James Sterling of Drain, is very sick. Rev. Wyatt delivered an interesting ser men at the school bouse, on last Sabbath He is expecting to hold a protracted meeting at this place so.n. Some persons went to the residence of John Allen in his absence and committed an assault upon his son and shot his feed boxes to piece3, and drew a gun on tho young man. There has been no arrests. Some unknown person, shut up some of Mr. Gardiner's sheep . in an old building, where they were left to starve. The temperature :3 six degrees below zero. Charles Putnam has been very sick, but his friends hope to see him around soon. Mr. Mitchell startrd to the Coeur d'Alene mines and got as far as Drain. It is ru mored that ho lias found greater attraction there than the allurements of gold. Whisky business is lively iu Drain. Unot.e. Floral Cabinet. The February number of the Floral Cabinet, a charm ing home magazine published monthly at 22 VeBsey street, Now York, has just reached us. This useful magazine should be in the home of everybody who is interested in the culture of flow ers, (and who indeed is not?) being co piously illustrated with specimens of the new varieties and containing plain directions for their culture. Its litera ture is of tho highest order, its purity of tone and instructive character mak ing it especially suitable for the perusal of the young. As a home magazine it is unexcelled, its domestic department includes hints on home sewing, excel lent suggestions, with .rl lustrations, for fancy work and house decoration and many practical and useful cooking re cipes. A 7-year-old girl living on West street is a good reader, and is very fond of poetry. A few days ago a gen.lemau of 88 yeai-3 called on her grandfather," who is 84 years old. Tho little girl, wishing to entertain them', brought out her book of poems and selected one she thought would please them, as it re ferred to old men, entitled "What Can an Old Man Do but Die?" every verse ending with that cheerful sentence. The hearty laugh that followed from the two hale and hearty old gentlemen satisOed her that hsr efforts were highly appreciated. John Rast met with a painful acci dent last Tuesday. While lifting a keg of beer from the wagon his foot slipped oa the icy pavement and" the keg fell up on his great toe. He ha3 been a crip ple ever since, but congratulates him self that it was no worse. Notice. All parties knowing them selves indebted to the estate of tho late W. E.

Our Venn or gave last week a truthful account of the weather in this county up to the lime of going to press, although tlv's week cast nerious doubts upon his veracity. Upon last Saturday night snow fell to the depth of four inches at Roseburg and more upon the surrounding hills. After noon on Sunday, the wind sud denly changed to the north and since that time we havo experienced colder weather than for many yen's. We are indebted to Mr. Nanry of the signal service for the temperatures. At 7 o'clock a. m., Monday, 4.5 above zero, Tuesday 4.5 above, Wednesday 3.3 above, Thursday 13 above. From Mr. Clover, agent of the Coos Bay stage, wo learn that the weather was more se vere on the west side of the Coast Range than on this, which is very unusual. The thermometer is rising, but we do not wish to risk our reputation by any weather forecasts. Th loss of lambs by this blizzard has been very heavy, but asyt we have heard of no Iofs of cattle or .sheep. Death of Dr- Davidson. Dr. G. B. Davidson died at his place in Coles valley, on Friday, tho 8th of February, and was buried in the cem- tery at that place. The deceased was born in Chenango county, New York, on the 22d of June, 1825. He moved to Michigan when a boy and graduated as a physician and surgeon in Lhe State university at Ann Arbor about thirty years ago. He practiced his profession in Van Bnren county, Michigan, until about 1873, when he removed with his family to California, where he remained but a few months and returned to Michigan, and resumed his practice until the spring of 1876, when became to Douglas county and settled in Coles valley. The deceased was one of the most eminent physicians and skillfull sur geonsin Oregon, but had been for many years a .confirmed invalid, so crippled with inflammatory rheumatism that it was difficult for him to get about. The disease was caused byexjosure while following his profession iu the severe climate o Michigan. A few months ago he went to San Francisco for treat ment and on his return trip contracted a cold, which resulted in hasty con sumption and caused his death. The deceased left two sons, who are living in San Francisco. His brother, A. L. Davidson, was with him and attended him in his last sickness and remained at his bedside until the final parting, and tenders to the friends and neigh bors in Coles valley his warmest thanks for their kindly assistance, extended to him during the . last illness and burial of his brother. Fire in Roseburg. About nine o'clock Tuesday night the residence of Rev. Jolin Ilovard w3 discovered on lire. The alarm was given and the fire companies and many citizens repaired to the scene of the. disaster, but were too late to arrest the flames. Mr, Howard, with the assist ance of his neighbors, succeeded in sar. ing the mos: of his furniture. The fire company, by tho use of buckets and ladders, succeeded in saving the wood shed and shop, which stood near the house, and preveuted the fire from spreading. Had the fire company been provided with a hand engine that would not have cost the city one-half that has been thrown away on the fire plugs and reservoir, they might have saved the building, but the flames had made such headway ; whan discovered that the buckets were of no avail. The fire started in the upper story, from what cause is unknown. The family had all retired, except a son of Mr. Howard, who was attending the Good Templar lodge at the Grange hall. Some of the neighbors had smelled something like the burning of woolen goods for some time before the hrevwas discovered. The building was one of the neatest and finest-finished dwelling houses in .Roseburg, and cost Mr. Howard between two and three thousand iollars. It is an entire loss, as ho had no insurance. The Ohio Rood. The Ohio liver has been higher this week than it has been since the coun try vv;s first settled by white -".people. It has exceeded the great floods of 1832 and 1852, by many feet. On Monday t,he rise reachedlthe heigh th of 66 feet and 11 inches, at Cincinnati Wheel ing, West Virginia, and many other places have been entirely cut ofT from outside communication. Tho entire inhabitants of Gallipblis are houseless and in open camp on the hillsides. Small towns along th banks of the river have been swept away, farms sub merged, cattle, houses and fencing de stroyed, and loss of life in many places. The destruction of property, loss of life and want and suffering to the inhabit ants of the country is the greatest ever felt in the valley. A joint resolution passed both houses of congress appro-1 priating $300,000 for the immediate! relief of tho sufferers along tho Ohio river and its tributaries, caused by the flood. i Business of tho Eo3eburgPos.tjffioe 1883.

M. FEOM OAKLAND. Wo believe it is cold. The health of the community is fair. Business is in a quiet condition. Our only exercise now is to build fires. Several parties came near freezing up, but are still on the surface. How ever, gossips are not so talkative and we are enjoying a pleasant rest. D. R. Shambrook of Umpqua fcrryi gave us a call this week. He reports everything in his locality as being in a prosperous condition. Divine services were held in the M. E. church last Sunday, by Rev. Shelly of Drain. Tho meeting was attende by many endeavoring to travel the right road. It is with pain that we announce the death of our old and respected citizen, II. E. Dewitt, which occurred last Sun day. Tho deceased suffered the pangs of sickness several months, and was finally relieved by the intercession of the angel of death. Our sympathies are tendered the bereaved family and relatives. Tho "blooded" part of our citizens have been very obstreperous this week and made things very interesting, from a pugilistic point of view. This state of affairs was brought about by too fre quent use of north pole whisky, a brand of liquor with which our peoplo were not acquainted; hence the mistake. This exceedingly cold weather has been playing havoc with the business men as well as the private citizens of this place. Our saloon men have had - a serious time and suffered the greates loss. The freeze has had a bad effect ou he mild and harmless whisky by freezing it all solid rendering it unfit for further use, and our strong north pole whisky is very scarce. The residents cf that part of Oak land known as Poverty Hill were thrown into a state of excitement on Monday evening by the brutal eonduct of a young man woll known in that locality. This individual, after in- dulging freely in alcoholic stimulants became infuriated and blood-thirsty, and repaired to his mother's house, where he undertook to annihilate the membeis of his mother's honsehold After destroying as much perishable property as he could ho was kindly ca ressed by his own people, but they fail ing to sooth his blood-thirsty appetite the marshal was called iv consultation and a change of venuo was brough about immediately and J udge Shupe or dered that the wayward young man should be kept in clos confinement un tu bad symptomsnsappeai.

' ' Thomas Dav has taken charge cf the poor-house.

Politics are booming 'on Hubbard creek. There has bsen a new political party formed here, called the Douglas county Anti-monopoly High Protective Civil Service Reform Republican Party. he ticket is not all made up yet owing to the bosses having gobbled all the fat offices. Wm. B. Clarke is to be county udge. W. K. Col well,', coroner. II. M. Hawn, justice of the peace. Ilawn wanted to go to the legislature, bur Clarke told him that cieii service re form meant to begin low clown and come up. , uoiweii luougnt lie ought to bo sheriff. 1 W. B. said: "now Bill, I lected you to office once and you know S3 a public servant you Was a grand humbug, besides you are a relative cf he present sheriff and you had better keep out of the office and not Inake a nonopoly of yourself." C A. Briggs said he wanted to be treasurer. Clarke, Col well and llawn all told Briggs he could not reform himself as he had ac cepted thegift of a fiddle from unknown arties, and they thonghthe'ought to be kicked out of the party instead of hold- ing omce. 15. W fcnrague made a motion to adjourn until some future time, as he wanted to fix the amount of ;arifT to be placed on his saw logs. Ob ected to by Clarke. He though, saw ogs ou"ht to be on the fiee list as he had to buy all" his logs, and if the tariff was placed on saw logs it would be a terrible monopoly. As he bad lumber to sell he thought the two dollars per M tariff placed on lumber last year not enoiirjh. By Curtis: "I motion we ad journ. ivy llawn: "l wohIJ like to make a speech, as the pai-ty are net sing me right." Clarke now1 arose and said: "I will now adjorn this conven tion until the 4th of March next, when I shall expect every man on Hubbard creek to be present, ss by that time I wll have the planks sawed for our platform." Mr. A. D. Hawn, business editor of the Coles Valley Bulletin, paid us a flying visit in the interest of his paper. Judging by the sizo of the roll of man- script he received from the pooihouse somebody will get "lifted clear out of their boots. Clarksburg and vicinity had better govern themselves accord ingly. . Peaxu t. Umpqua Perry Items- Farmers all idle. Items are scarce. The! snow storm now raging is very hard on sheep. If it continues many will die for want cf food, A social ball was given at Clarke's mill on the 14th inst. A good time was enjoyed. Lieutenant Geo. W. Hawkins, one of the O. & C. railroad officials, is iu the valley and will remain during the winter. Dame rumor says that'there is some fair - attraction holding sway over him. Success attend you, George. The correspondent who Mgns himself "Peanuts," should he a little careful to confine himself to the facts, in. writing his items. Our old-time friend W. R. C. of Hubbard creek, has met with quite a misfortune. Soon after his return home from Circuit-court he contracted a severe cold and his sense of smell was impaired to such an extent that he can not tell the difference between the per fume of cod fish and the odors arising from his pelal extremities. W. '15. Clark is prescribing for him. James Woodruff is the happiest miin now in Clarksburg. On the morning of the tenth he was seen walking like a grenadier of old. The reason of this is because his wife presented hi.n with a fine boy, weighing twehe pounds. Notice lor Publication. Land Office at IIosebceg, Oekgok, .
