The Great Western Bargain House, 1 Hanson, proprietor, of l'cndletoii, was closed up a few days ago on a writ of at tachment. It has been quite cold in Union for a week past, and during the nights thu mer cury has been monkeying around zero pretty closely. ATillurntin globe, costing ijltfi, an Kncy clopidia co-ting $21, and other needed ap paratus were placed in the Union public school this week. County court is in session, but no busi ness of importance had been transacted up to the time we went to pros. The full pro ceedings will he given next week. It is claimed that the first apple trees raised in Oregon were raided by Dr. Mc laughlin m 1S45, .from seed planted at Vancouver, the;iatter place being m Oregon territory. Kd. Smith, the man who killed Conarty last week, was examined before Justice Wilson, .Saturday, and was held to await the action of the grand jury, with bonds lixed at .fiXXK). The right-of-way committee are at work and as yet have met with but little or no opposition. It is reported that some par ties on the Sand lUdge will want pay, but they will probably change their minds when they take the whole matter into consideration. J)uring the year IsS!) County Clerk Xeill issued 'JO marriage licenses to parties resid ing in Union county. During the same timu but fiS licenses were issued in ISaker county, which goes to show that we have a much more progressive people and arc ahead in this as in everything else. The Russian inllnonza, or sonic disease very similar to it has struck Union and about one-third of the people arc or have been afllicted with it. It scorns to act some what like a sovere cold, and in the worst cases sometimes causes the victim to spit .blood from the lungs. It is not considered dangerous. Died.

He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and four children, and two brothers, Archie, who lives at Sunipter, and 1!. Downie, a resident of Union. Mr. Hunt arrived in Wullu Walla, from the cast, several davs ago. News from him is to the oiled that everything is in hhip shape for building the Union exten sion, and that all reports that may have been put in circulation to the effect that he had sold out, or intended to sell out, are utterly false. Mr. Hunt will probably visit Grande Hondo in the course of anotli or woek. Travel on the O. II. ft '. CVs. road Is very irregular and id times is suspended altogether. It is not an uncommon occur rence for trains to lie stuck in the snow on thu hillside near Union for twonty-iour hours at a time. The mail arrives occa sionally and then we hear of accidents and smaBhtips on every division of thu road. Verily traval is a hard ami dangerous busl no?, jut now.

Mrs. Stauslll, being sick, was unable to come, but Mr. Stauslll was brought in. They will be required to show reason why tlicv should not be punished for contempt of court for their refusal to turnover certain monies to Thomp. Carroll, the newly ap pointed administrator of the Stansill estate. The La Grande papers make a great fuss over the "'real ;estatc sales" that they say have been made there recently. After ma king due allowance for the usual cxager ation it must be admitted that there is a grain of truth in the statements they make. I'.y a glance at the papers it will bo scon that nearly all the sales that have been made has been by the 0. 1!. Co., to"innocent" parties. It is very plain that the 0. 11. & X. Co. are unloading what property they have at La Grande, and arc doing it at any price. They know what that branch road will do for La Grande. THE CITY COUNCIL.

Eaker City Papera Please Copy. While the railroad is blockaded and'travel almost suspended to and from the outside world, it is refreshing to know tltat Union has one mail line upon which travel jnever ceases. We allude to the route butween this city and Cornucodia.
