First Class, .Th,c entertainment given
by Rentfrow'a Pathfinders, at Wright's
hall last Wednesday evening, was not
largely attended, but was pronounced, first
class by nil who witnessed it. and, better
than any troupe that has visited VVijon for
some time The price of admission charged
bv the majority of troupes that vip jt ns, is
ciltirciv too much, and not in ai-t'ordancc
with the times, and if they are not greeted
with large audiences, the reason should
certainly be obvious to thcift. The troupes
that have recently visited tljiis place, have
been composed of th,e cheapest Kind of five
cent men, who, wjicn in the caij. would
not think of charging more than 'J.') cents
admission, yet will visit the west, bringing
their parsimonious habits with them, and
pxpect ub to pay them a dollar ndru,Uston.
This country is fast getting on level with
the Kaste.ru state? in methods and manner
of doing things, and the Mioner these itin
erant showmen find it 011 tt the bypttcr it

It Didn't Wokk. Our friend Jo,, Yew
ell, of Pylc canyon, likes to. keep things
in good shape around Ins premises, but
candor compels us to admit that p,u is not
a success in some thines. He put in the
full day Tuesday, blacking t"s harness,
with an original mixture of his, composed
of lamp black, tallow, tar and several
other ingredients which he thought would
bo good. Wednesday ho hitched up his
bay and white cvitteri and started to town.
"When he arrived here, his friends were
surprised to see Ju. driving what appeared
to be a hrindle mustang from tl;o pampas
of Honth America, and u beautiful black
and white zebra froiu Africa. Upon clover
investigation, however, the inccurecUess
of their surmises was established and the
true cause of the peculiar appearance of
the animals explained. Jo. was a little hot
in the collar and his friends forbore putting
anv unnecessary questions. He will prob
ably discard this new method of blacking
In the future,
Sebiols Accident. On Friday last Mr.
Chas. Wilson, while riding near Mr, Con
nor's residence, between here and High
Valley, met witha very serious accident.
The horse he was riding became frightened,
and starting to run, stumbled and fell on
top of Mr. Wilson, crushing his shoulder
blade and collar-bone in a terrible manner
lie lav in an unconscious condition for
sometime, but was finally discovered by
Mr. Connor, who conveyed him to his house.
Dr. Capps was sent for and deviated the
sufferings of the unfortunate lpim. who is
now getting along as well as could be ex
pected. Mr. Wilson is a poor map, and has
a family, which makes this misfortune all
the harder to bear.
PuorosEP 0, R. it N, Leask,- A dispatch
dated New York. June-1!2, says, one of the
direotors of the Oregon it Transcontinental
company yesterday sent the following mess
age to this city : "The prospect of leasing
the properties of the Oregon Railway A
Navigation company to the Northern Pacific
and Oregon .Short l'ine jointly has not vet
been considered by the Northern Pacific
people. The lease" itself will probably hi
mane in the :ourse of time, but the Oregon
& Transcontinental directors only nan ap
prove of it, which they are not very likely
to do in advance of their meeting."
Donatt.ii Iiinr.itALLY. The committee of
ladies appointed to see who will contribute
provisions of different kinds to the celebra
tion dinner, have been very successful. A
few small-souled individuals refused to civc
anything, but the majority donated liber
ally. No pains should be spared to have
plenty to eat, as there will be a vast multitudi
of "strangers within our'gatcs" on that da;,
and it would be a pity for any of them to go
away hungry.
Lost Roy. M r.s. Isabella Sheets, of Na
ples, Scott county, Illinois, writes to the
Oregonian as follows: "My son, William
Sheets, left home for the West six years
since He was then 1 years old, I "have
