Tjie Grossueak in Oregon. 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

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.

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.

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.

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

But if it is in a token of love
They will feci like it is from the angel above
So all must be chc?rful and gay

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. E, church south; Kings College
male, 150 students under the direction of the
Presbyterian church; Doggets school for boys
100 students. White free school 10 months in
the year, 200 pupils. Colored free school 125
Presbyterian Female Institute with 50 pupils,
Miss Smith's school Baptist male and female
50 students.
In factories Bristol is well represented; hav
ing 1 tabacco factory employing 25o men and
women. Two immense tobacco warehouses,
2 woolen factories 1 cotton factory, 1 foundry,
doing a thriving business; 2 sash and door fac
tories, 1 ax handle factory, 1 chain, 1 veneer
ing, 2 furniture factories, 1 crock factory, 2
flouring mills, one tannery, I boot and shoe
factory, 2 marble yards, I carriage and buggy
factory, employing 20 men, 6 hotels: Virginia
and Nickels houses arc said to be first class.
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.

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

qualities of a blood fertiUizer and de
purcnt, a tonic and an alternative. While it
promotes digestion and assimilation, and stim

nervous system. As the blood grows richer
aud purer by its use, they who resort to this
sterling medical agent, acquire not only vigor,

duce, is arrested. The prime causes of dis-
ease being removed, health is speedily reno
