Adlou to the last fading scene of my child hood ! Adieu to its alternate hopes, jov and cares! Ah, once would I welcome thee, birds of these howurp, lUitnowwitli'llfc'sini.-icry, this aching heart Sharon. Those walks in the moonlight, and love's fond caresses ; The lowMghingzcphers of infancy's sphere; Now the hiirh aspirations of Iratnc, my life hlesse-f. And drives all away even friendship, once dear. Aye, the flowers I have gathered, now with er in silence: The brooks that I waded, flow tranquilly on, 'Mid the scenes I am living, forgetting my duty, The whispers of midnight sigh Madly, "all gone!'' All gone? What, all faded? Oh' faithless art thou 1 Like the mist on the mountain, your faces depart; Sweet scenes of my childhood, oonie back to my memory; Ah, breathe back thy balm to this obdurate heart. Onco I welcomed, most dearly, the clouds o'er the mountain; The sunset, so rosy, that tinted the west; By the side of the' brook, by the pure erys- ' tal fountain, I gathered the rapture that burns in my breast. There was music in echoes that came from the forest, Hut now, Ah. the desolate thought, they impart I And the flowers that nod 'neath the press ure of autumn, They wither like phantoms of this careless Kcart. There is dew on the roses that I have oft' envied Hut now to my sight it is faded and dim, Like the leave's ot the roses, we're bathed by the night-dews, My chalice of sorrow is full to the brim ; No more can I wonder a child in the mea dow. And pluck from their sisters the fairest of Howers ; No more, ah, no more can I roam by the brooklet, A child, like I havo been, in those golden llOUl'H. Farewell, then, companions! Your love 1 Ji rememuer, When cast on the pitiless waves of Life's sea. When Willi's arc caressing my fast-fading hour?. All my hope and my joy will I ccnte r in tnee. I know you were silent when passion arous 0(1 me. And I, like :i mad man, from your bosom flew, Hut now I recall the bright hours of my cnuuiioou, And hid thee, reluctant, a heart-warm auicu ! , U, W. II. THE PRIZE DRAWING.

A Miss Mills, sister of .Mr. Robert Mills, lately arrived in Pino. Two school? are in session in Pine Valley one in the town district, taught by Mr. Wise, with about 25 pupils, and one in Dry creek district, Mr. Jennings teacher, 19 pupils. Kev. Bevies delivered a lecture at Pinetown on the evening of Christmas day, on the parable of the Prodigal son. The Kev. gentleman made the subject quite interesting, and gave a deal of good, sensible advice to the young men. A ball given at the school house in Pinetown (no, that i.s not the name,) in the town of Pine Valley P. O. (how mellilluons that sounds,) on the evening of the 3rd, for the benefit of that district. Fifty-nine tickets were sold at .$2.50, including supper. Quite a number were present from Eagle and Cornucopia. Prof. Luce and Mr. Dill, of Cornucopia, kindly donated the sum of $10 each. Wo learn that about. $90 were cleared from the dance. We presume the directors and people of the district fully appreciate the sympathy and aid received. On or about the -1th inst. Wallace Brown, a son of Mr Brown who kucps. the ferry 011 Snako river, about ten miles from here, in company with a man whose name we did not learn, went out hunting, Thursday. On Sun day the comrade returned with the re port that they had seperated Friday while hunting and he thinking Brown had gone to a sheep camp near by for shelter, was not alarmed. Saturday he went out again and when ho returned that evening and .Mr. Brown was still missing, grew alarmed and on Sunday struck out for the ferry and gave the alarm. Search for him has been un availing up to tin present time. His people say -'lie knew the place too well to get lost." They think some acci dent must have befallen him and that unable to obtain assistance he no doubt perished. He was a young married man and leaves a wife and litllo ones to mourn his mysterious fate. A Christmas tree, quite well laden with presents, was displayed at tho school house in Pine Valley town on Christmas eve (we might say on Xmtis eve, but we are either too old fashioned or not old fashioned enough to like tho "X." If it is Christ's birth day, why not call it Christmas". Quito a merry crowd was in attend ance, and besides the presents useful and ornamental, a number of burlesqe ones were received with apparent good humor, such as an auger, an old hat, a pigtail, a washboard, baby dresses, etc. The committee, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, Miss Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. Denny, Mr. Bassctt, and Mr. King, having been appointed only a few days before, could not do much in the way of ornamenting the tree with Christmas cards, etc. Mr. Willard .Moody, however, kindly favored us with some excellent violin music. Me was ably assisted by Miss .Shoemaker, an organist. Among the generous deeds this Christmas, was one especial ly worthy of mention, viz: the bachel ors, old and young, of Pine, subscribed some $20 or more to make up a good, substantial Christmas box for the orphan grand-children, six in number, of Mr. John Bloom of this valley. If anyone thinks it is an easy task to write an item concerning a town with such a name as Pino Valley P. O and not make it sound awkward, let him try. Ior instance if wo want to say Prof. Herman, tho magician, gave one of his puzzling entertainments at tho school house in Pino Valley P. O. town on the evening of the 27, etc. etc., wc might say Pinetown, hut that is not its namo; wo might say at Pine Valley P. O., but ho gave it at the school house, not at tho post office. Of course one can say at tho school house in tho town of Pine Valley P, O, and it sounds precious little better. Wu are informed by Postmaster Bragg that the name of tho town,( or P. O. the town has no name) is unquestion ably Pino Valley P. O. and that ho would bo very glad if it could bo changed to a shorter name. Can't wo give that town a name that wont end with P. O? There aro plenty of eupho nious cognomens, such ns Jotown, Btoveburg, Pino City, Docvillo, Bragg City, PiucvillcScottburg, Bobville, etc. This last nti me striken us as verv ro mantic, Bobvillo goes.

Advertised letters remaining un claimed in the Covo post office: Abe Brannon, Mrs. L. J. Coibett, E. J. Cameron, C. L. Fisher, Samuel Ma hafluy and Frank Owens. Edwaid Stearns is at home from Rocky Bar, Idaho, whero ho has been working for some time past, in a mer cantile and gioccry store. Ed returns, the proud possessor of an elegant pair of burnsides. Messers Bobiuson fc Thomas aro moving the necessary outfit to tho In dian creek mill and will take advantage of tho dee) snow iu cutting and haul ing a supply of logs to the mill, for the spring run.

Tho donneiH were his scholars with whom the professor is held in high esteem. A dimo sociable will bo held Friday evening Jan.

We bespeak a good attendance in order that the Band of Hopo may make the last payment on their organ.

NO. 28. ISLAND CITY. A pIoy Letter From Our ReRiilnr riirresixHiilent . January I, 1 8SS. Dr. Hill, principal of the Bishop Scott school, visited Island Cily re cently. Dawson Berry, formerly of this place, but now of Ellensburg, visited his friends here last week. Lawrence Cavinesshas just returned from a Portland school with his head chuck full of knowledge. Tho very first thing he started in to learn us was that Portland was larger than Island City. The young people had a dance at the Oregon hotel, Saturday night. The usual free circus, by the boys, was given afterward. The young folks from La Grande had been invited, but upon the report that tho scarlet 1 fever had made its appearance iu that j city, the engagement was cancelled. They came all tho same, and it is said went home an hour afterward very j much insulted. M. j. urtor lias noen elected presi dent of the Center Valley Literary So ciety. Ever since the election he has been complaining of his head; he says its neuaalgia. One side of his coun tenance is swelled a little and it is feared by intimate acquaintances to be the big head. At tho first meeting after organization the question as to the most value to man, horses or cattle, was discussed at sonio length. After making first class beef out, of horseflesh and substituting for future generations the milk of human kind ness for cows milk, the judges decided unanimously in favor of the second beast mentioned iu tho Apocalypse. It seems to bo the practice of Union county sherifPs to pay delinquent school tax, when collected, to tho county clerk. This entitled that offi cer to a percentage amounting to something like eight dollars on tho hundred. Friend Williamson re marked, by way of excuse to Judge Goodall, "It always heretofore has been the eust-om." Now wo aro glad to note that A. N. and his able depu ties have changed tho old style where in they always custom, but if either penalty is to be retained and tho other omitted, by all means pay tho district clerk tho full amount of delinquent tax collected, to which he is entitled, and give him the cussiu. Quite a sad accident occurred on Emily's mount last week. A man was at work getting timber out of tho snow; his wearing apparel had become wet during tho day, so that when he went to bed at night, ho hung his breeches up by tho lire to dry It happened on a winter's night. The mournful winds were sighing; He hung thcui on a dry goods box, Anil slept while they were drying. Well, sir, tho next morning they were tho dryest pair of brecchca you ever saw. The- only show in tho world ho had to ever get them on again, was to dampen the ashes and rub'eni on. Entirely cremated and not a cent of insurance. Tho wind seemed to him to havcontircly to much temper for a shorn lamb; his form was enveloped iu a blanket, and. tho envelopo addressed ''To any benevo lent citizen of tho great Northwest, who has been successful enough in tho bat tle of lifo to own two pair of breeches." It is said that an old lady a relict of early times was so forcibly reminded of bygone days that, notwithstanding tho time of year, pursued tho retreats ing to know if ho had hucklebcrrieH to sell. However this may be, it is cer tain that heforo reaching homo tho "logger" found tho benevolent citizen. Fire insurance agents arc expecting a rush. "Luna Tick" A WOMAN'S DIHCOVKHV. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady In this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for fcoven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organn were undermined and death seemed Imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep, Shu bought ot us a bottle of Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved ou taking first doso that she slept all night and with ono bottlo lias been miraculously enrcd.
