Our EWn corres pondent's letter, concerning the celebration, came to hand too lnte for publication last week, and most of the Items are tr.o ancient for newa now, The fqllowintr, however, we take from it: "Mr, C, N. White, who lives about a quarter of a mile from town, hid a peculiar experience a few days ago, and if 3t had not been for two mice which were found dead in a sack of Hour, his whole family would have been poisoned. Mr, "White went to pot some Hour to makp bread, tinu perceiving tliat tho mice had been in the (lour, concluded not to use that sack, but let it undersoil thorouuh examination. Borne of the Hour was thrown to the pigs, two or which died, ami two pioro hail nts, ihowim the symptoms of poisoninj- by gtrichninc. A kitten that ate one Qf the .mice also died. There can be no doubt that the Hour was noisoncd bv some one.

A dispatch, da ted I'eudleton, July 12th. says : The trans fer of the books of N. Hendricks, a three termer republican treasurer of Umatilla county, to his successor to-day revealed the fact that he was ?G000 short on tho state school fund and some $12,000 short on the couuty sencral fund. J18.000 m all. o ef forts were made to conceal the shortage. Hendricks no doubt intended, and it is said was promised the money, to replace the dc- llciencv. His bondsmen' nine in number, are held in the sum of $30,000. They will pay the shortage, as to-day thev started nuit against Hendricks for $19,000. Attach juonts were levied on the firm of Ilousenfc Hendnaks by Murphy, Grant & Co., San l'rancisco, and a number of Portlond hous es, for over $13,000. The flrni is thought to bo solvent, but will be crippled by attach ments. Hendricks cannot account for the j tenancies cannot account for the , but it is thought he used the most buying into the firm. Ho has con- jle property.

It Is a rather peculiar case. I). W. Shehan arrived in this citv on Fri- day evening of lant week, having come from Cornucopia, over the new road, to this city inonedav. He brought a petition to tho county court, numerously signed by citi zens of Cornucopia, asKing that he bo ap pointed justice oi mo rcacc ot mat pre- cinci, wtiicu was cuiiiput'ii wiui, uuu ne went home rejoicing. We uuderstand that a competitor was en route to this city via tho old road, for the purpose of asking tho same favor of tho county court, but arrived lone after his opponent bad been, and seen, and conquered. The moral is obvious, D. B. rcDaniol, clmirmau of tho Plrio OrccL, load Commissioners, came in from tho TW on Tuesday last, aiju from lim ire learn that he road buil ders fill probably reach Ctuou(;opia tho last of this week, prhen thej will roturn. andlnush the road as they come baok, nlnoh will occupy about two weeks. rrom what we caj learp thero ib considerable feeling pxistjiig among the residents Qf Corrtcopta over the fact that the road, is being built by way of Fine Vallc", instead of straight acrp.es tho hills tp Cornucopia, accor ding to Griflitl' iccpud survey, which is two miles nearer. Mr. McDaniols informs us that lie, and the other com missioners, until recently, thought that tho latter was th.c route adopted by the county court, as they had bosn ex prcssly informed so by Judgo Craig, and tliat thev cavo the contract to Sluny it McL.cod understanding it that war. The contract specifics that a certain kind of road shall bq built, commencing at (ioose creek, on the Gridiths survey, and from thence to Cornucopia a distaucq of 24 miles. Not until tho road was half built, and tho point of turning oil' nearly reached, was it discovered, by Mf. MoDaniel, in an accidental manner, tliat the county court had adopted the other survey the one running by Dan ilooro ranolio, Hiving as their reason for doing so, (wlnle tb-'y tliought the other was the best route) that tins wa the one specified in the petition, and that they had no right to dosignate any other, unless they were asked to do so bv another petition, which had not been done. The County Commis sioners wore no doubt correct in their action concerning the matter, but why they and the State Koad Commission ers did not have i full and complete undejstauding as to which survey tbe road should he built on, before the contract was let, is beyond our com prehension. Such was not the case howevor, and when the contractors were informed that the road must be built on the lower survey, thoy very naturally demurred, as it would no cessitate tpe tmiiuing qj two more miles of road- Thoy announced their intention of building the number of miles of road the contract calls for, and no more, but said if the oitizene of Cornueonja would have the road supervisor of that district put in the road work on tlioso two miles, thev would assist in putting the through in good shape without further controversy. At a meeting of the citizens of Cornucopia, hed that oven ing, they resolved to do nothing of tho kind, and seemed to be under the impression that tho County Court, the Road Commissioners and the contract ors were all a sot of tljievos, working together, for their mutual benefit We believe that our Cornucupia friends are laboring under an crronne- our idea, when they think so. The County Court may have been slow in its action 'too 8IW i" fact, but that it desired the completion of the road cannot be questioned m view of its appropriation of !?10Q0 towards the building of this end of tho road. We believe the contractors desire to, and will, build as good a road as tho con tract calls for. And while two of the Commissioners appointed by the State, may deserve all that has been said of them, wo believe tjiat Mr. McDaniol, the chairman of tho board, has acted as well as he knew how, and has had v sincere desire to build tlie road as well and economically as possible. We are of the opinion that our Cornu copia friends haye been a litlo hasty in their actions and expressions, and that they will see it before many days. W c understand that tho contractors. rather than have any trouble, will build the extra two miles of road, al though they think it is ntoro than tneir contract cans ior. l here js no doubt that a blind, unreasoning hos tility toward the road has been enter tained by some whoso duty it was to sco it built. TJus has not only been tho feeling of certain individuals, but it has been entortained by neighbor ing towns, IJaker City and La Grande have boen hostile to the move ever since it was inaugurated. The former became it knew that nearly all tho trade of Pine creek would be deflected from it into Union county as soon as the road was oompleted, and the latter becaiife it imagined the town of Union would bo benefitted moro than Ijh uranuo, and it was, therefore, willing to sink the whole county, or do anything in tho world to defeat the road. The machinations of these localities, and tlio scheming of rascals, have not succeeded, how over, in killing the road (although, for a time it looked as though they would succeed) and we may say that the work is about completed. A state lino lias been established over the route, and is now making regular trips. The beneficial effects of tho road are beginning, and will continue to bo felt by tho people of Union coun ty, notwithstanding the chagrin of those who hoped it would never bo , T'0 TP of Cornucopia Bliouw bo cnrelul to let their wrath V.'W.JM . . w . .

DieiWOn the lOtn. ult.. a little 5 year old son of Mr. Drake, Tho doath was tho result of an accident. It ap pears a toam was hitched to a wagon, preparatory to starting for town, and while tho parents were still at dinner, tho little fellow went oqt to the wagon. When found ho was pi) tho ground near the horses heels, crying, and hol ding his hands to his stomach. No bruises were found on tho child, and nothing could bo ascertained of tho accident, but it is supposed ho fell from tlio wagon, or was kicked by ono of tho horses. Dr. O'Connor was called but mortification had already sot in and the child died in a few hours. Tho -1111. was observed on tho 3rd, by a pic-nic, or would-bo-cclebration, at the groyo noar the town of Pino Valo P. O. As a pic-nic, it was probably on joyed by thoso who mingled with old friends and noighbors. As iv celebra tion, tho aflairwaa tljo nearest a grand farce, it has ever been my lot to chron icle, which I shall do from tho light in which 1 viewed it. "Hew to the line, let tho chips fall where thoy may." They have beautiful groves in tho val ley for a celebration, and had the peo ple taken an intorest in tho aflair it seems to us it might Jiavo been mado a pleasant occasion. As it was, no one seemed to know anything about tho programmo. No committee on gont end arrangements, no marshal of the day, no committco on tables, no com? mitteo on music, (pr at least jf there wero any committees appointed, they did not seem to know it.) No Liberty car, no procession, no Declaration of. Indopondenco, no ancjont ordor of ugly mug plugs-no nothing, (excuse tho grammar,) we will except a fow appropriate remarks mado by Roy, Boyle, in the midst 61 which ho very seiiBibly and justly stopped to reprovo tho young mon whq woro so ill-man-nered as to race jiorscs, only a fow feet from the speaker's staijd, during his address. Two or threo scrub raccu wero indulged in during tho afternoon, on the road runtime bv tho trrovo. which served to cover men, women and children with dust. Dancing was en gaged in by a few, on a floor mado of rough boards: m tlio evening thoy ad? journed to tho hall and danced until the dawn of Sunday morning. Whilo of course wo do not expect any grand colebration in an out-of-the-way placo liko this, wo would expect some sys tem, management and order. Wlion instead of pulling together, each indi vidual pulls in a soperato direction, it is difficult to do anything woll. Queer, that considering tho number of intol ligent, well-mannered, good people of l ino, the stato of allajrs should bo so well, so mixed. Yours for Truth, Cakuiw R.
