The history of our country has been called the Plb'lo of American Citizenship. If this be true, and no one denies it, then the History of Oregon, by Hubert Howe Pancroft, should be placed beside the Pible on every family altar in Oregon, and throughout the whole United States. Por it portrays in graphic colors all that i.s most sacred to our people In a political and ma terial wav the several migrations; saving the country to tho United States; organiza tion of government and society ; early trials and vicissitudes; and later grand develop ments. it is safe to sav that no one individual lias ever done a greater work for Oregon and for the whole American people than Mr. Dancroft. Visiting in person several times during the progress of his vast work the several countries ho wrote about, he saved from absolute oblivion nn immense mass of invaluable material taken from the mouths of the foremost men. He also ransacked the world for early data, lie Hum in a most conscientious and erudite manner arranged his material, and wrote his incomparable histoiy. In such noblo eli'ort as this he has snent his life and over a million of dollars in money . A grand bencfacation like this deserves hearty sympathy and support, het us not prove' ungreatful, but show that we can appreciate such work. Trior to the publi cation of the second volume of Oregon, Mr. llancroft's works could only be procured in complete sets of ;sn voN. This prevented many from purchasing the History of Ore gon who greatly desired to do so. In an swer to Innumerable requests, the publish ers finally consented to issue the Histo ry of Oregon separate from tho full set, thus conferring a great benetit upon the country. Let every true son and daughter of Oregon, let every American remember this, and show gratitude insoniething inoro than mere words. It is needless to speak further of tho magnificence of the work or merits of tho author. No nation in the world has a more full and truthful record of its early all'airs, and by an author of the very first ability and repute, than Oregon. "He sifts with a master hand,'' says tho Prittsh Quarterly Itcview, "tho immense mass of facts, and the conflicting testimo ny of witnesses, and suts faithfully the true points forward." while the New York Herald alllruis that tho work "will ever re main a monument to tho writer's Intelli gence."

The Uakor City Democrat says; "A drummer for tho Oregon City Woolon Mills, Jacobs Pros., of Portland, proprie tors, yesterday telegraphed to Union for u livery team to transport hhnsolf and trunks to interior points, alleging as a reason therefor that the utables in linker City charge too much for their ervict-t and that ho oould save 1'-' during the time he utcd tho team.

The Presbyterians of this community, with the assistance of eastern help, and tho Presbyterian Board of Academics, intend to build an academy in this city if they can secure aid and co-operation from the peo ple. They desire to build a ten thousand dollar building, and they wisli to t-eouro that amount of money by subscriptions to aid in building this institution, and they promise to secure an endowment and run a first-class school for hoys and girls. Assistance has been secured to sustain tho school, if built, and laud has been of fered for the buildings. Then there is no reason why the town of Union, so beauti fully situated hi one of the grandest and most fertile valleys of the Northwest, should not have a first-class institution of learning where the young people of this county and surrounding country could receive as good an education as In any of our eas tern schools. We can have this if wo will. Let us then put our shoulder to the wheel and make an effort to have the academy here at once .Medical Society.

It is said that the second ward, which lays down on the plain, has taken the water from the first ward which is situated on tho foot hills about three-fourths of a mile distant and hud the water ilrst, This caused ti.e first ward to get riled up at the second ward, and some of the members of the first ward tore out the "water works." Then the members of tho second ward caused several members of the Ilrst ward to be arrested and placed under fVKl bonds to keep the pence. Tho members of the first ward nave the bonds and tore out the "water works'' again, and there Is liable to bo a water famine in the second ward. The members of the n'coud ward seem to think if they cannot get water that gore extrac ted from the anatomy of the members of the Ilrst ward will answer. Just which ward will come out on top and secure tho county seat, remains to bo seen. Clieiu'lng AVoi-iIh from "Wallowa.

She fell asleep for (lod had willed it so; Ho only honored her for a few brief years, Then tool: her, stainless, trout this world of sin And, left you groping, darkly and in tears. She fell asleep her mission bote was done, Hut left sweet niein'iies which will never cease. Drawing your footsteps, like to sliver cords, Into the paths of happiness ami peace. Sho fell asleep crossing death's darkjoino tide, Not in old age, the twilight time of tears, Shed o'er a niis-speut life of sin and shame, And earthly turmoils fill the vanished years. She fell asleep with pure and sinless heart, Such as our Savior promised should seo (lod; Then, think of her as basking in His smile, Not the poor clay which moulders 'ncath the sod. Sho fell asleep to quicken you to life nd learn to do ( bid's will while yet you may iud be prepared to meet her on that shore Where tears arc dried and sorrows lleo away. Mas. Aug. Ilth, 1SS!.
