There was a reunion of the Wright family at Lower Powder lust week at which thirty doscendents assem bled and enjoyed a genuine Mizzoory din ner. Most of the family are natives.; A Word of Explanation. I see in hist week's issue of tho Kastorn Oregon Republican a littlo comment on the construction of tho Wallowa bridge, in which comment they seem to want to lay particular blame on me for the failure of the builders to place corbies on the abut ments under the bridge. Now if there is any fault anywhere aside from the buildors It Is in the imperfection of the specifications in the contract. I contended with tho fore man of tho bridge carpenters that thero should bo good corbies placo.l on these abutments, and ho wrote to Hoffman A: Bates ami their instructions to him was to do the work aocordlug to the contract and no more. I was sunt there to superintend tho work and see that the contract was complied with, and I could not enforce that which was not in the contract. Thero were men there, both from this county and Wallowa, during the construction of tho nhntiiiPiits. und thev all agiood with mo that it wjs as good work as they ever saw, except it was of cut stone which is a differ ent class of masourv entirely. 1 don't look at it as being carelessness on my part nor any fault of mine whatever J.

At tho funeral of Mrs. Jenc'lu Carr McComas, which took t laco from tho resi dence of S. A. Purse! on th" 2'Hh till., Prof. J. L. C irler read tho fnl'owiu composition which had been written by E. S. McComas some three years ago, at the request of his sisters who at that timo thought tho death of their mother was close at hand: Sisters, liftithrr and Fi-lfiiln:iU a sad task that loving sisters have requested mo to perform to pen some thoughts suitable for this mournful occasion. But as the mildew of linns slowly but surely settles upon us we arc daily reminded of tho fact that as we near the ond of life's brief jour ney the tear stations become nearer to gether. To-day wo meet, to guzo for tho last time on the loved form and tho cold inanimate features of her whoso womanly years were so nobly devoted to our inter ots in ovory way thut could ho devised by a loving, pure-hearted, ulenr-brnlued, noble niinded, and always devoted Mother. It is always a solemn and Impressive oc oukiou when v.e assemble to consign to its last resting place, mortal remains, but when as now, thoio who aro gathered are so noarlv related to the form before us by the strongest ties of consanguinity or well formed personal esteem the occasion seems ono peculiarly adapted to the most pro found fooling ot torrow.

If It is in the economy of the universe that we hare n continued existence, that thU is not ail thnrc is of us. and we pass from a comparatively crude state to one more subtle and rctined, from ntdimentul transitory, imperfect life, to one more ul timate, permanent and beautiful, we as suredly hare nothing to fear. If we Rave a continued being and the spirit of our sainted mother is now holding communion with our noble father, sister and brother, we should weep tears of joy m the r than serrow. If on the other hum! she has but fallen iuto a quiet, peaceful, drcamlers sleep which knows no waking, she Is at least free from all pain, anguWh, care and anxiety ; her troubles of life arc over. You inav each have your individual opinion made up from individual cxperi enc's, as I have mine, whiclu ver is correct, it is all Tight with the dear one elepartod: one more loved form has parsed nwny. One more tired body gone to rest, And hands that did life's duties well, Arc folded on an honest breast.'

It !H.v. ns more a; proprUte that we I'ceupy the limit of tim:- consistent tei employ on ihls oivnaL'H tu a review of the Hie history of her We so reverently chf rWhcri. Jennctta Curr was born in Adams coun ty, Ohio, February it, 1U, and was mar ried to John Mc 'onus Feb. 181, lSii, near the place of her birth. She was the mother of eight children, four bovs and four girls. Her two oldest children, Harriet and Evans, were born in Ohio; Esther, Mary, Samilel nnriJJohn weio born i:i Indiana, and Alice and William in Iowa. Sho had three grandchildren born In Iowa, four In Kamns ant? six In Oregon. Of this num ber four havo passed mi before her. She was the last of Pi-Jflit brothers ami sisters. a id in every respect one of tho -pioneer mothers whose lives have bueomo a part of the essential history of our country. How vividly my thoughts carry me back to the little old log cabin on the bleak prairies of Indiana, when our father delayed In his long journey to the timber for the good hickory wood, or in marketing tho corn, caused her to bar tho door as the dismal howl of tho wolves drow nearer and near er. How Harriet and 1 watched hor face to instinctively rend hor thoughts, and how noble and brave she now appears to me as I recall the calm heroism that always seemed to oomo to her support in the lone some) vigils that dire necessity imposed upon her. After pioneer life in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, Industry and economy brought their reward In a comfortable home and surroundings. And then it was that the noble haracte: of mother to us, "Aunt Jenette" to others, was most conspicuous. In oarly life she joined the Christian de nomination of religionists as did her de voted companion. But as sho reasoned and as age came creeping upon her the theories ot endless torment, and vicarious atone ment, regeneration and resurrection of the mortal body, were discardedius butj the nightmare of gross superstition and scarce ly pardonable cupidity, and she settled down into u calm, conlident hope that "There is no doath ! 'lis but a newer life, The cutting of n cord by nature's knife, Tho breaking of a chain that holds us down, Tho opening o" a cage tho prisoner is flown.'' Twonty-ono years ago, tho i!7ih Inst., her noblo companion was luid lo rest in Iowa, and tho year uftciw.ird Samuel found a gravo among strange ri i i the mountains of Nevada, and since 1&78 H irrlot has reposed peacefully by tho side of our father. In lSTU.'Oiir mother's health being seriously impaired by the trials and responsibilities that surrounded her, nt our urgent solici tation sho undertook the long and tiresome stage ildo from Kelton to ha Grande and ulthough an invalid she bore up like a Spar tan mother uiulor the trying ordeal. This change, I am co-illdent, !eiigthoiietl;hcr pres ence with us a number of years, and now that tho tiniu has coma when tho well ripened fruit must lull to the earth, goutly draw tho folds of hor drapery around her and consign ho." to her narrow home that nature has decreed should be ollored alike to oarth's most exalted as mint humble. "Life's battles fought, Its viotorles won, lis worn oiitwrought, IU labors done. 'No toil, no pain, Thou'lt then endure, Then why complain? Best cometh sure.'' Besides the rending of tho nbovo obituary at tho limine, In the presence of a largo number of friends of tho deceased and her family, u well-trained choir of soma ton or twelve ladles ami gentlemen rendered two beautiful pieces, "Homo of the Soul" ami "Gathering Homeward" and at the grave the ''Sweet Byo and Bye.''
