Ql3jCt-0'$T 3.lV-P$'' ' THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1880. AT iTOME. A Paragraphic Record of Recent Happen ings in and Around the City. Furnished room to rent. Enquire at this ofllce. Farmers are confident of a prosperous time this year. Crops never looked better. Hay, grain, chopped corn and nil kinds of feed at Hall Bros, delivered in any part of tho city. 0-10-tl It Is reported that tho judges of this dis trict will hereafter hold court "by turns" in the different counties. A Walla Walla paper says that rice is suc cessfully raised In that vicinity. It is now headed out and looks well. John Elliott will ship a car load of his livery horses to Fairhaven, Wash., and dis pose of them in that market. The county court is in session, but up to the timo of going to press no business of i importance had been transacted. There is a report that a colony of colored people has been organized in Xew Orleans to settle in Powder Jlivcr valley. The song of the mower has begun. For) all kinds of lubricating oils go to the Cove drug store. Black oil. the best and cheap est lubricant, a specialty. Baker City is to have a fireman's tourna ment for all tho towns of Eastern Oregon and Washington , the event to take place about the middle of August. An Englishman claims ho has cured himself of rheumatism by placing under each post of his bed a broken bottle, which served the purpose of an insulator. It is said that an Iowa' editor has found tho shortest sentenco containing all the letters of tho alphabet. It is "Pack my box with five dozen jugs of liquor." The Baker City Daily Blade has suspen ded publication and the weekly, only, wilt be issued hereafter. Lack of patronage was tho cause assigned for the suspension. PThe Annotatcr says : Dr. E. Urooks has moved back to inland City. La Grsnde is a very unhealthy place but tho people are too contrary to call a doctor when they are sick. The people of Union who attended the Fourth of Julycelebrations given at various towns throughout the county, have returned home and all report having had a splendid time. The man who said that buying lots in some of tho boom cities of the Sound coun try is simply playing with loaded dico about hit tho mark. Tho man who sells has the loaded dice. Men occasionally exhibit a species of courage and daring that excites pity rather than admiration. A man of this kind in Pcnnyslvania has just eloped with his mothcr-In-law. Attention is called to the advertisement of Getz fc Meiger, the contractors and builders, which appears elsewhere. Any ono who thinks of building will do well to interview these gentlemen. Remember the meeting of the taxpayers of this school district, which takes plaeo at tho school house to-morrow at 2 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of taking some action toward enlarging the school building. Tho Baker City Democrat, issued on tho Fourth, was printed in red and blue ink, and presented a very attractive appearance. The Democrat is always wide awako and keeps close to tho head of the procession. Tho Wallowa stage lino changed hands Tuesday, Dick Griflln retired and the Island City M. it M. Co. took charge. New stock has been put on tho entire lino and new coaches will be put on as soon as they can bo obtainded. Annotater. Mr. Badlcy, agent for tho Payette nurs ery, who has been in town for tho past few days, informs us that he has sold over $1,000 worth of trces'and plants to the peo ple of Union and vicinity. The trees from this nursery are excellent and everybody knows it.; Win. Wilson has let tho contract for buil ding a brick structure on tho corner of A and Main street to S. L. Hunter. The building will be 23 feet wide by 70 in length, two stories, with a basement, and iron front. It will bo an elegant structure, a credit to the city and the owner. Buy a Whitcley mower, tho best, on tho market. Purties visiting the fair last fall will remember the remarkable merits it showed by being put to the severe test of cutting hoop poles all during tho fair, thus showing its superiority over all other mow ers for strength, durability and light run ning. Hail Bros., of Union, are solo agents or Union county, 0-10-t I. Wo understand that Mr. Smith will again assume tho superintondency of the O.O. M. Co's. works atComucopia. The master mechanic who built tho tramway, which was destroyed by a snow slide last winter, passed through tho city yesterday en routo for Cornucopia to superintend the rebuild ing of the same. Work will commence on it at once. The supremo court has given "Sandy"' Olds still another chance, and ho will have to bo tried for tho murder of Einil "Weber for the fourth time. A great many .men in "Sandy's" place would rather ho strungu loeuted or electrocuted at onco rather than bo harrassed by tho infernal nonsense dished up by judges and lawyers who make a farco of the law. Just us well hang a man ns to worry him to death. Tho Milton Herald says: Property in Union, Oregon has increased in value at least llfty pcrcout sinco tho question of tho location of tho county soat has been so per manently and positively settled In favor of Union. Hercloso proximity to the grout Catherine crook timber belt and the Sanger, Cornucopia and Eagle creek mires ; her two coinpetingjllnea of railroad that will on be ' completed; her contra! locution to the trade of Grande Hondo valloy ; her beautitu!

Reed, says the E.O., who was interred yes terday in the Pendleton cemotery, is bo licved by the attending physician to havo been poisoned from canned corn, On Sat urday afternoon the child, a lively, healthy boy, fiftt'en months old, wns allowed to eat heartily of the corn, and early the follow nig morning was taken witli convulsions, which it suffered at Intervats'of two or three hours until its death Monday night.
