How cool are the banks of ebon shade, Puder the weeping willow tree, Hustling softly the leaves are made Uullled into a tangled braid. And then thev ripple pure and free, Half as hallowed as Gallilee! Far up into the branches high, Out to the realms of the azure sky, Kinging, the wild birds echo goes'; Happy is he, as the brook that Hows. Along down the vale th the spreading sea, uoumgovcrtiie ncitblv shore, Hipplii.g on through the flowery Ice, Into the sea's iirccs:mt roar, See the flowers so gay and fair, Over the meadow ot waving hav, Nodding with hearts devoid ot care, And with a tinge of the summer day. Nothing can be more happv than they, Dreaming in the silence there. Come and breathe in the pleasant air. Hang on the wall your grief and care, Into the flowery fields we'll go, Now while the vernal zephyrs blow, And all Life's jov is clustered there. H. W. Hl'KFMA.V. Eiig-le Valley Items.

Yes. sure enough, we will have the unbounded pleasuie of telling the world that two more tender souls have locked their interests and joys together in tho holy bonds of matrimony, before long. Mr. Hlado Ashby returned from Cornucopia, last week, and gives some interesting accounts of the new mines and their workings. Ho is well pleased with the prospects-, and seems conlident of their future wealth. The contested land csifo of ITart and Miller was concluded last week. Wo did not learn, definitely, which came out ahead, but sincerely hope justice will bo rendered to sill con cerned. Mr. Joseph Yowell will go to Cove, soon, to commence stacking hay on A. E. Eaton,s place. Mr. Yowell says the crop is rather light, 'but likely it will yield enough to make average feed. A great deal of complaint is hoard now on all sides about scsucitv of hay. "To be or not to be: that's the j question." Whether 'tis nobler in tho mind to sufl'er all the heat of Mim- mer, and be patient with your eon i science, or to take up arms against , our many labors and by opposing, end 1 them to let them die and sleep but then who knows of what may como of wife and kids while all our work lies idly by and linds no willing I bauds to labor.

Tho horso ran off the bridge into the mill nice, Peter and the cart lauding some ten feet below on tho locks. The cart is also laid up for repairs. The State Medical Society of Ore gon will make another effort in the right direction through loprosentativos in tho legislature to suppress "quack ery" in this Stale at the next session.

This practically won tho game, as North Powder, in their half of the in nings, went out in quick lime, in one, two, three order, Smith's catch of Frank Shaw's pop up fly ending the fight. Immediately after, through the kindness of the Union boys, both clubs sat down to si fine supper at the Cen tennial, wbero every player did not fail to catch a fowl.

In one case tbe entry man's testimony was evasive, tending to prove bad faith, and it could not he determined by the ptoof what actual time bad been spent on the land or bow great had been the periods of absence. Tho Commissioner of tho General Land Of fice held the entry for cancellation be cause it was considered "an stttempt to obtain title to tbe land through fraud and in evasion of law." Tho eiUiynian failed to appeal, and an ap peal wsis presented by the mortgagee. Tho commissioner refused to recognize the mortgagee as a party inlerested'iu ! 1,10 1''tl-. appeal to him, the Cretary I't'M that tho "claimant, not living appealed, is barred, the mort- g.igeo should bo peunittcd tb submit supplementary proof regarding claim ant's residence and good faitli prior to tho issuance of final corlilicnte," and ho allowed such action to bo taken within sixty days. In another ease the land having been erroneously described in tho pub lished notice of intention to make final proof, (Inotigh no fault of tbe entry man, and the land having been con veyed to another, and the ontryinnn's address being unknown, the Secretary held that the rights ot the grantee may be protected and the defect cured by tho subsequent publication by the register and receiver of a 'notice in viting protest against tho issuance of patent on the entry, and if no protest be made, giving reasons why the proof already inside should not bo accepted patent should bo issued. In another case the publication of notice of intention to make' proof was regular, (lie claimant and his witnesses appeared at the place and on the day fixed for making proof, but record evi dence of claimant's declaration of in tention to become a citizen was not at , hand, and tho roe-istm- md .vw...iv,.,. proof, fixing no specillc day for that purpose. The pioof .was duly niado toveral weeks after the day advertised, and the entrynian sold tho bind at once, and died si little more than a, year afterward. About a year lifter the death of the entryinan" tho com missioner rejected tho final proof, be cause not made on tho day advertised, and required the entryinan to give new notice, when if no piotest should bo filed the proof already mtido should bo accepted. The Secretary dispenses with this requirement and directs that tho entry bo referred. to the Hoard of Equitable Adjudication. In my fit-it letter I stated that noith tho Public. Land Rill (known as tho llolnian bill) nor tho Railroad For feiture Act would bolikoly to pass both houses of eongres at Hiis session. Notwithstanding the fact that both measures havo gone through tho house, I still adhero to that statement. Senate Hill 188S, known as tho Stewart Hill, amending the mining law in several respects, will not pass at this session of congress.
