The flocks of grossbcaks seen around town every winter for some years past have just put in an appear ance thte season. They have arrived at Silverton, as will be seen by the following from the Appeal: The evening grossbeak, called by some the "Alaska robin," made its appearance here on the 3d inst. It came about the same time last year; and docs not seem to 'be much afraid of the "genus homo." That Night. In our notice last week we failed to mention that White, Johnsun, Murray, Carl, Casey and others participated in that terrible night's work in bringing the train through the canyons from Grants Pass to Riddle. Billy White and Mr. Casey ran their double header engines and cleared the track at far as Union creek and then was compelled to sidetrack their time being up. Mr. Johnson and others told us that it was indeed a( bad night. All deserve credit lor this push and energy to bring our mail to us. Shocking Accident. A fatal accident occurred at Albina, Thursday the loth, which was caused by the fool with the gun he "didn't know was looded." Mrs. Mary Newton, an old lady about 60 years of age, was approach ing tho residence of Geo. Armstrong, about 4 o'clock p. m., of the day in question, when E. W. James, thinking to scaro her, picked up a shot gun and pointed it toward her. The gun went off, the charge entering the left breast of Mrs. Newton, above the heart. Mrs. Newton sank to the ground, and in twenty minutes breathed her last. James is in custo. dyj The coroner has investigated the matter, and is satisfied that the shooting is accidental. Mrs. Newton is 55 years of age, and is the wife, of Daniel B. Newton, a carpenter at Al bina, the mother of two daughters and one son, all of whom are married. She kept a boarder r two, and sold milk to her neigh bors. She will be brought to Gervias this mcrning for burial. Statesman. A 8TATEMEST. Roseburg, Feb. 14, 18S7. We the undersigned find the school house of Roseburg in the following condition: The cast end leans to the north about nine inches. The west end leans to the north about nine inches. The house leans to the west about seven inches. We find the lower floor spread four inches. The iron rod that was put . v 1 l- il , 1. . i 1 r 1 . is broken and does no good, we find several joints split. In fact we find the building in its present condition unsafe and ought to le condemned. David Moore, J. M. Thompson, G. A. Beath, L. C. Beardsley, W. V. John son, David Clements, Andrew Jones, J. E. Ragon. The above statement was made to the direc tors of the district school at Roseburg. The directors thereupon made some investigation and found that there was a general feeling of alarm among the patrons of the school, as to the safety of the building, and that a large majority of the pupils who had been in at tendance at the public school house had quit the school wholly on account of the prevailing fear that the building was unsafe, that the number in attendance had been reduced from about 248 to only about 96 scholars in the school house. In view of the prevailing fear and general alarm and the consequent impos sibility, (even if desired) to secure sufficient attendance at the school house to justify at tempting to use it, the . directors decided to discontinue the school in the school house, an 10 secure otner rooms wun the room in Odd Fellows building already rented for two teachers, and if possible three if needed, ac cordingly the lower story of the old Masonic building was rented and fitted up and school opened in said two rooms Wednesday morn ing. On Wednesday it was found that the v attendance would be greater than the two rooms would accommodate, and that another teacher and another room was really needed. The trustees of the M. E. Church South in view of the emergency, very generously rented their church to the district and a third teacher was employed and the church building fitted up, and on Thursday morning school was opened in that building also. All the pu pils possible will thus be accommodated and the school continued with three teachers. Whether the school house is and was safe or not and whether the alarm was well founded or not it was manifestly impossible to carry on the school in that building. There was none ' to stand responsible for the safety of the build- ng; and it would not have allayed the fears if the directors and a dozen others had have at tempted to assume the responsibility, so the course pursued was but one of two, cither to do so or stop the school entirely. 1 ne directors say they nave no plans or suggestions for repairing the old school build ing or building a new one and unless the patrons of the school &hall generally manifest theirdesires as to school building or school tax the next school meeting will be called only to elect one director and a clerk of the district.

All were much pleased with their entertainment. Mrs ind Mrs. Ireland deserve much credit from their guests. . Numerous tramps are now infesting our city, and the Lord only knows where they are going their principal motive being to "saw ye some wood for their breakfast," and then go on their way rejoicing . The late snow fall has done considerable damage to property about Glendale. Several buildings being broken down, among them the big barn belonging to Sol Abraham and killing a fine steer weighing 1S00 lbs. belonging to Mr. J. T. Hays. Mr. J. E. Thielson of Portland who has been visiting at the Canyon creek hydraulic mine for a month past went to Portland last night. He reports having a hard trip crossing the mountains, there being five feet of snow, and besides suffered a severe frost bite of his right foot. It was learned here to-day from a man who has just come through from California that a freight train of tight cars is derailed the other side of the Siskiyou mountains and that there are ten feet of snow on the summit. He also reports that all work'has been stopped on the other end on account of the snow. Mr. Sam Redfield came near perishing in the snow one day last week while hunting in the mountains near Glendale. He came upon a bear track and thinking hccould easily overtake the bear, become over heated traveling through the deep snow and sat down to cool off when suddenly he become chilled and nearly unable to walk, and when about a mile away from Mr. Chas. Anderson's place his cries for help were heard and Mr. Anderson thinking that some of the boys had killed a deer and want ing, help to bring it in went to the place from whence the cries of help came and found Mr, Kedhcld in a most unconcious condition, he had to be carried to th e house where aid was soon rendered. Had his cries not been heard undoubtedly he would have perished in the snow. Mauly. A Luxury and necessity.

Syrup of Figs. 50c, and $1 bottles for sale byJW. S. Hamilton.' Robert' a Creek Xetrs. Robert's Creek, Feb. 11, 1887 Ed. Review: Roberts Creek is having quite a social boom, that is, she bean to look up in the social circle a year ago, since that time there has been a well cultivated and well attended Reform cluk holding regular meetings alternately with Deer creek. Harve Whitsett is president of the club and he has not missed a meeting since it was organized. Has a paper published in the interest of the club and is ouite entertaining. At the last 1 - meeting Miss Martha Gilmore edited the pa per in an able and mirthful style and was well filled with peneral news of this section and items from eastern Oregon and other places, Miss EHa McLaughlin will edit the paper the next three mectmcs when we predict a larger paper than any of those published here tofore. - Last Tuesday evening a party often couple called on Mr. and Mrs. Elax Cox and in formed him if he would only submit to our ruling he would not be hurt, so we went in and Mr. Cox being under our entire control quickly made on a rousing big fire which soon warmed the room to love heat. Mr. Cox said he feared something was to happenl him, but if it was all for sociability we migh as well commence early and improve the time, so he brought in two large cow bells and commenced on the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" when his wife appeared" before him and made him surrender. The time was made up from that on with merry games and plays which lasted till the clock struck two when we adjourned the meeting. On Wednesday evening a party of young folks congregated at the residence of Sam, and William Whitsett, had a good tune al though Sam was not at home . Last evening there was a sociable at the residence of Russell Poe, sorry to say some one exactly my size was unable to attend, a good lime was reported. It is said a certain young lady on Deer creek used to caliber fellow, "angel" since he has gone with another girl a time or two she says "I gucBS I will have to give up the ghost."

The social party at Mr. Kent's house last Wednesday night was hugely enjoyed by all present. Some of the stock men in this part have lost a few sheep during the recent Storm the heaviest loser probably being Mr. llenry Beck ley who lost 80 head or more. Mr. T. R. Sheridan our veiy efficient county clerk passed this way last Friday on his way to Empire- City. Mr. Sheridan was in excellent spirits and spoke quite favorably of the Umpqua river R. R. project. Several old sheds and buildings collapsed during the snow storm in this locality, but the amage was nominal except a few cases as follows, Geo. Dimmick ahorse killed worth $100, I I. G. Brown a hack smashed, Harrison Hart a grain seeder and other tools seriously damaged, Maupin Bros, a few sheep killed and Mrs. S. . Cooper also a few sheep killed and kitchen furniture slightly damaged. , s, Richard Hancock a much respected citizen of this locality was found dead on Thursday morning of last week about three-fourths of a mile from his home, under the following cir- umstances as near as could be learned. He and his brother John went out the day before to look for cattle, they found one which "John took home, Richard going to look for others saying that if he found them he would stop at neighbors cabin that night. Next morning ohn started out to meet him and found him dead as above stated. Examination of the tracks in the snow showed that he must have died from some vital disease superinduced by his great exertions to reach home during the night, as he had crawled and dragged himself by his hands for some distance before he drop ped dead. The remains were buried on Sun day by the masonic fraternity of which de ceased was an honored member. R. E. Porter, Ji'uMle. J fills.

F. Cornutt our merchant is doing a flourish ing business. Mr. Yokum living near Canyonville died yesterday after a long spell of sickness. Henry Jennings of this place returned home from a short visit with his parents (and friends at Grants Pass. i ' The snow has once more disappeared and the earth can be seen with its mantle of green which is pleasing to the slock men as well as farmers. William Webber of this place has been in Portland for the last month under the treat ment of Dr. Jones and says he is much better and intends returning home in March. John H. Cornutt of Myrtle Creek and boys of our burg have been coyote hunting, they have not yet succeeded in catching what they expected. They claim to be experts on catch ing coyotes but thiuk they are better after (dear.) Boys if at first you don t succeed, try, try again.

The people may be divided on the school house question, but they are not divided in opin ion on getting the best bargains in Roseburg at J. Jaskulek's, AS IXTE&ESTISG COMH VX1VA TIO N. Abingdon, Va., Jan., 31st, 1887. Editor Review. Jan. 20th, we left our home in Oakland, the dearest spot on earth to ns to day, Tor our old homo in "the east." From Oakland to Portland we had a yery pleasant trip, the courtesy of those O. & C. R. R. men contributing much to our ease and comfort. When we reached Portland, our tickets were ready and our checks placed in our hands, all done by the best of R. R. crews and without an effort of our own. Forty min utes for changing cars and we were, off on the O. R. & N. Night soon came on and we all slept quietly and comfortably awaking in the morning to find ourselves in a higher altitude and in a deep snow, must have been 2 to 3 feet, "This afforded much amusement for the children. Quite a contrast this, from the country along the O. & C. where the grain and grass growing so luxuriantly, fre3h and green. At Caunlia we had a" good warm breakfast. The proprietress, a colored lady. After a short run we were in the La Grande valley and a lovely valley it is indeed. The town of La Grande seems to be pleasantly lo cated, and presents many indications of pros penty. We noticed herds and flocks in this valley all looked to be in good condition. rMany streams of beautiful clear water running into the valley, from the hill country round about, which must contribute much to its val ue as a stock range. The next town of note so far as we know is Pocalello, our mutual friend Mr. Fickle of Oakland will remember this town. This town is an old miltlary trading post situated on the 0. S . L. " It is now on a reservation so we were informed, and when open to settlement, will have a rapid growth. Here we have breakfast in one of the Pacific hotel-less ho tels. 1 should have been much pleased Mr. Editor to have had you take breakfast with us here, .every thing was in the lest order, arti cles of diet in great variety and gotten up in the best of style, and we had one hour to en joy it. Of course I do not mean to make the impression upon the minds of your readers that the Review Ed. is an epicure or that it takes him an hour to enjoy a square me.il. Here is much ice and snow, yet the inhabi tants said the weather was pleasant. At Grange we left the Oregon short line of the Union Pacific. We cannot leave the O. S. L. without remarking lliat in all our travels we have never been in the hands of a more courte ous and genteel set of R. R. men only equaled by the 0. & C. boys. We had beea on this rail before, and began to rtaliz: the fact that we were neanng the dear old, old home. A short run brought us to old Fort Laramie; we were here ten years ago, at that time there wa? only a small village, now it has grown to a city of stone and brick claiming a population of over seven thousand souls. It is astonish ing and almost incredible with what rapi lity western villages develop into great and wealthy cities. We pass a night between this point and Council Bluffs. This is another city of phc- nominal growth, another good breakfast. I tell you Bro. Bell the lunch basket all through an important companion wasoften ignored. At the Bluffs we changed cars, and were sealed in the most elegantly, elaborately fin ished coaches we have ever seen, these run ning over,the Chicago and Rock Island Coun cil Bluffs to Chicago: The local train over'lhis tine is simply immense. Along this line there is much as fine country as our eyes ever looked at. Millions of bushels of corn in sheds and cribs along those rich bottoms. This country although so rich, hasitsdisadvanlages, cyclones, rigid winters, drought, unhealthy stock; the cattle, as we were told dying of pleuro pneu monia, hogs and chickens of cholera. A run of 22 hours puts us into Chicago, we changed from C. & R. J. to the Chicago St. Louis & Pacific, running from Chicago to Cin cinnati!. Changing cars at Chicago and Cin- ninnatti is by no means pleasant always hav ing to be transferred over those abommablc buss lines. Along the way from Chicago to Cincinnalti, we pass through much of the State of Indiana the most prosperous and love liest country we have seen since we took our last long and lingering look at those beautiful Ore gon hills and valleys; when oh when shall we feast our eyes on those delightful scenes again? God speed the day. At Cincinnatti we crossed the beautiful Ohio, and took the train for Chattanooga on the Cincinnatti Soutcrn R. R. This line of road after crossing through a part of Kentucky, passes principally through and along the Cumberland Mountains. This is the roughest railroad we have ever passed over it is simply outrageous, their schedule running time is 40 miles per hour, this is frightful over low joints, rotten lies and curves that run to cycry point of the compass in a few lengths of the train. Talk about your high bridges and tunnels out west, along this line there are 27 tunnels (its a fact.) Bridges over the Kentucky river 285 feet high it makes me dizzy to think of ii, bridges over the New river and Cum berland liver each 150 feet. About 15 hours travel landed us in Chattanooga Tenn . this poor little apology for a city has become somewhat famous for being the seat of that Frcedinan's aid Society university, thef.ilse pretense and infidelity to its intended purpose and avowed principles of which have been pretty well vehtillaled to the disadvantage of 'wolves in sheeps clothing" the managers. Should you Mr. Editor ever have occasion to pass through this city of filth and mud, be sure to provide yourself with every thing ncc essary for your subsistence, for we assure you there is but little comfort to be found here, We went to a hotel and were told by R. R. people that it was first class, if this is true, inn Irom general appearances we presume it is, from that lawn may the Divine Master have mercy on the hungry and weary traveler, After ten hours of painfull watching for the arrival of the hour to leave this place, we were comfortably seated in one of the elegant coaches run on the old East Tenn. Virginia and Georgia R. R. and after six hours pleas' ant travel, we were in Knoxville Tenn. the point to which we bought our tickets; stepping from the cars heard the old familliar Atkin House called out by the colored gentleman porter. This made us feel that we were really in the neighborhood of home the eld home that is so dear to tho hearts of thousands of pur western people. Here we find solid com fort every thing neat and in order, we spend twelve hours in this substantial city of 45,000 inhabitants. A short rest and then a stro 1 through the business" portion of the city, it has almost grown out of our knowledge; hundreds of magnificient 2, 3, 4 and 5 story brick and stone buildings occupying ground that was va Cant twelve years ago. I think we have never been in a city of rapid growth so characterized by substantial permanence. This has grown to be a great wholesale center for the south, The stock of goods equal any we have ever seen in San Francisco. Knoxville is destined to be the great inland city of the south; the pluck and energy displayed by a people so dis abled by misfortunes ot war deserve success, Leaving Knoxville at 3 o'clock p. m. we arf rived at Bristol , on the Tenn. and Va. line just about twilight, here we were met by rel atives and friends in that cordial, manner characteristic of the Tenn. and Va. people, i We feel considerable interest in tins little grow i ing city, it now has a population f about 7000 its business houses, churches, school buildings, city buildings, R. R. buildings etc, are nearly all of solid brick and stone. Bristol is noted for churches and schools, having 2, Presbyte rian, 2 Methodist, 2 Baptist, 1 Episcopal 1 Catholic and 3 colored churches, these last different denominations. Schools, Su'lins Fe male College, 200 pupils under the supervis ion of fhe M.

Three rail roads center here with two other in good prospect, no doubt as to the early con struction of these roads. .. There are 62 busi ness houses including general merchandise, hardware, drugs, millinery, jewelry, books and stationary, meat markets etc. etc. Bristol is a thrifty town, business men in all depart ments we are told are making money. Left Bristol at 6:40 a. m. Jan., 30th, Sabbath and reached the old substantial town of Abingdon at 8 o'clock the same morning, had breakfast at the Arlington, gotten up in good old Vir ginia style. A little reit and we took quite a walk about town calling on some old lime fritnls and enjoying the bracing Virginia mountain air, until about eleven o'clock when we directed our steps toward the Southern Methodist church a- magnificent new biick structure. We expected, of course in Abirvlgon to hear a good sermon, and much to our de light who should appear in the pulpit but that nobled souled, highly cultured man of God the Rev. Dr. Kennedy for many years Pres. of the Ashville female college, many memo ries pleasant and sad rushed into our minds and in spite of us our eyes were bedimed by "the big unbidden tears." The sermon was grand indeed, the subject of which was "The stone which the builders rejected became the head stone of the corner." It was good to lie there in a real Southern Methodist church, and a ieal Southern Methodist preacher. It is a mo mentous privilege to listen to such sermons nd enjoy the divine atmosphere that surround such godly men. Here I could make a de- uction by way of contrast, but my regard for good men, dictates forbearance. I will add in closing that we are now resting at uncle and aunt Martins, and at Dr. Christopher Alder- sons (my medical preceptor and best friend) enjoying the comforts and hospitalities of two of the best homes in the good state of Virginia. With our kindest regards and best wishes to all friends in far off Oregon. I am truly and fraternally. Edward J. Pace, j Gardiner Items. The G. M. company's mill will soon resume ork.

The general supposition among our weather prophets are, we will have some fine weather after the snow storm abates. So mote it be.

A Subscriber. AA'OTIMB tjrizr. Dear Review: Some one who modestly witholds his name says Bro. Hill and I have set him to thinking, thank God for that! It is always a hopeful sign when men begin to think, though I have looked in vain for much activity of that noble faculty in his brief. Now Mr. Hill's thinking power commands my respect. 'Twas the exercise of thought "of men and women . within out own memory that freed our brethren in black in America. Long live pure, free, un predjudiced thought! Yes brother I gladly part company with you when you say, "If the appeal is made to reason and experience, pray what do we know of the unalterable laws of nature." Queer logic is that. If! am not to use the highest gift our Heavenly Father has transmitted to His offspring for fear of losing ' faith in anything, I will hold to Reason every time. John the beloved disciple says, "la thi ! beginning was the word (Logos) (Reason) and the Logos was with God, and Logos was God" (I merely carry the Greek word Logos-ie word over.) See Dr. Young's concordance also other authority I can readily cite. Your correspondent says people like to be humbug ged, very likely, my husband thinks we do when we give a meals victuals to every hungry tramp who asks it. But for a tramp of low repute, who homeless and weary tramped over the Judean lulls and of Palestine long ago we for his sake try to put in practice his sublime teachings that seem sadly out of place among his worshippcis to day. But such servants as Win. Denton, Trofs. Wallace, Zollncr, Crooks and J. R. Buchanan are not likely to give ere' dence to any doctrine whose foundation is other than purely scientific. He seems to think I am poaching by my question, why so? I read my bible free from superstitious dread. Yet with a reverence due a subject treating of how an ancient people apprehended add sought after God. Yet all of this fades, away behind the dark ages in comparison with the testimony of millions of witnesses of the present time. I did not object to the Bible al all, in answering Mr. Hill. I simply called him to order for stating the teaching of spiritalism, without con sulting the esoteric as well as exoteric side of this phylosophy. Spiritualism has a literature ot no mean pretention. Spiritualists do not think that the Holy Spirit left the world to grope in darkness when the Amen of the apoc alypse was written but is yet leading the race into all truth as its development makes possible the condition . The working of the spirit of truth is as evident in the printing press, the rail road, telephone &c, as in the conversion of a persecuting Saul of Tarsus into the sclf-sacrifi cing propagandist of a religion which he says he ignorantly persecuted, he is by no means the best one whose bitter persecuting zeal has been turned into an earnest faith. I do no, consult my Bible on scientific subjects, in it I find very little to endorse either Franklin, Morse or Edison and it leaves me in ignorance of the great glacial periods that overwhelmed the continents, even Paul failed to see how it was possible for a married woman to do her own thinking. ' It has been the mission of this modern move in spiritualism it is as old as the race, it is to recon cile religion and science, even now great minded men who once denied, see nothing contradic tory in science to the possibility of a finer, more energetic spiritualized body living in this coarse envelope of matter and at the touch of death passing out into the region of sublim atcd inalie: thrilling with intensified energy those old flippant criticism of darkened rooms, &c, belong to the past, true there is a law of condition as necessary now as in the Bible times, even Jesus was subject : to this law, he did nrt many mighty works at his home be cause of their unbelief. If one wishes to send telegram does he employ a Scene Tainter? Does he not employ the right medium skilled to his work and surrounded by condition. Is there any sense in an ignorant man saying to an astronomer I don't believe in a cmet, if it exists, bring it on? or I will say you are a fraud? Nay the patient scholar may have to wait years to convince the ignorant objector of the exis tence of a comet; come my friend look up what other writers and religions have said and now say, if our loving Father and His laws, who revealed to the Peruvians a knowledge of law and a faith in the Tower dwelling in light in" pproachable? What book revealed to the Mexicans the mystery of the cross? Was it not the everywhere Holy Spirit ever brooding over theUaivetial Uretherhood of man reveal ing to them as they struggled up toward truth higher power enveloping and moving in them teaching them to find our Father in the Ilcav n. . .. . . . ... .... ens. Ua that all religionists wneiner spirnai- ist, christian or Pagan may all become more spiritualized into the image of Him whose overcoming is typified by the wooden cross on which he passed up to his higher mission in the spirit world leaving the glory of his unself ish life as a mark toward which we struggle feeling confident that as He has been lifted up, he will draw all men unto him the highway of right livlag 5s always the way and the only path.- Mrs. Reame.
