Mr. EniTon: Tiie pleasant weather for some time past has kept jrour correspond ents so busy with their farm work that the few who were to keep you posted have had no opportunity to write. I will now, however, do what little I can to give vou a few items. As this is the last time 1 shall attempt to write for vour worthy paper, I trust you will be" sufficiently pleased to learn that you are rid of at least one ot your correspondents to give my last few items a place in your paper. Our hill is slowly improving in looks. Among the improvements is a hew paling fence around ttie yard of Capt. Apperson. Also the cutting of about 3tXJ cord of wood, which makes a marked improvement in the looks of his place. The Captain is one of our most worthy neighbors, and deserves the thanks of all tor the interest he takes in the neighborhood. Messrs. Williams A Law ton are slashing ten acres of tir brush for wheat this fall. Mr. Meters is having a large quantity 01 wood cut ior summer use. Mr. Holmes is having 150 cord of nole wood cut, and live or six thousand rails made. Several parties have been held during the past week. Among the first, a few of tne people 01 1110 inn garnered at one ot the houses to welcome one of Portland's fairest young ladies to our circle. We "hear" a very pleasant time wits had and all retired well pleast. ith the evening's pleasures. Friday, Feb. 0th, Mr Partlow gave a party, and as Mr. Partlow 's parlies al ways are a success, it is not necessary to say that this one passed olf very pleasant ly, and at three o'clock dancing stopped and all left for their homes. Monday, Feb. 12, a reception was given by Mr. ami Mrs. Wheeler, at the r siiience of Capt. Apperson. I shall not attempt to tlescrilie the newly married pair, as I can not think of any words that would do them justice. Among the guests we no ticed several Canemah ladies, and also some of Portland's ladies and gentlemen. It would be hard to tell who the belle of the reception was. Indeed, the writer was so bewildered by the array of beauty on every side that he could not think who was the belle. As for the gentlemen, we believe Mr. S., of Portland' attracted the most attention, lit; and his piece of wed ding cake afforded abundant amusement for all. At 12 o'clock i-n elegant supper w as spread for the guests, and all did jus tice to the repast ; indeed, the mo..t exact ing ej icure could not have asked for any thing more. The only tiling we missed was our worthy host, Capt. A., who was necessarily absent in Portland. A few of the guests dropped in at Mr. II. 's on the following evening, but owing to absence I am unable to describe the evening's programme. We lx lieve, how ever, that the evening passed very pleas antly. We had thought of asking Camilla Urso to give an entertainment at our school house, but as she is compelled to go to Europe soon, we will excuse lu;r this time. And now Mr. EJitor I will not trespass any further upon your good nature. I hope the next one wTho writes will do bet ter than Yours Truly, 'Fakmkk." Letter fium New Cra. Feb. 21st, 1877. Editok E:TKnFiusi: : Please be kind enough to give the citizens of New Era spacii in your columns correcting the false statement published in your issue of Feb. lith, under the heading of "Be Kind to ttie St: angers," purporting to have come from one Foster.

Editor Extkrpkise: No doubt jour readers are anxious to hear something more about those big bones alluded to in your issue of Feb. 1, and of the tesultof the investigation of the committee alluded to. After careful investigation the committee find that the discovery was made some time ago, but has been carefully concealed, to prevent excite ment, until a 1 the facts should le kn wn. Some time ago it was reported to me that some ancient ruins could be found near the extreme end of Molalla Prairie, and a committee was appointed to excavate and see what could be found1. The first work was begun on one of those elevations about six feet high, and soon struck on what appeared to be a very large jaw bone, as the upper or rounded end first appeared. Aiier mucn lanor, (as me ground was hard), the committee reached a depth of six feet, found what ap peared to be a species of anti-deluvian man. This strange order of being is cer tainly of a very early origin, and is rather alcove the ordinary height of man of this day, with nasal organs well developed ; and what is most strange, this mummv retains all its natural'features, except it is thin and dried up, and when unearthed it exhibited signs of life. A slight trembling of the knees was discerned, then it began to talk in a language none could under stand, then sank awav. Its head was small and round, and evidently never contained anything; at least we found it hard to make an impression upon. The committee named it Mega Infanti. Any one doubting the above, can see the relic, as it is now on exhibition at Bachelor's Hall, and will be exhibited at the ball at that place on the 14th. JJy order of Committee.

J Letter from Saudj-. Editor Enterprise : In justice to the living as well as the dead, grant me space in your paper to correct some of the state ments made in your last isne, concerning the. death of Mr. Robert Wilsen. On Sat Vrrd,y ni-ht. lOth hist., Mr. George 1 lodges and some of his friends from Milwaukie were to have a "ni""( r rer tormance" at what is know n as'Gcrdcs' Hall. There were no w omen present and but a few men. An altercation arose be tween Hodges and Wilson, when Hodges pulled his coat and started for Wilson, who was in the act of pulling his coat and could not defend himself. Hodges struck bun several times, but no knife' or other weapon was used. Wilson started for Mr. Manning's grooe-, and in going there fell over a stump.. He told Mr. M. that he was hurt and wanted a ! -ttie of brand v, which he poured in his hand and bathed bis face and neck where Hodges had hit him He seemed to breathe with difficult v. He then left the store. Mr. Fritz Stolke started out in a few minutes and found .Mr. w nson.aiid took him to his-(Stolke's) home, laid him on the bed and did all that he could for him. Mr. W.'s face anil neck were, in fifteen minutes after the figiit, swollen to twice their usual size. He told them he was going to die, and sent Tor Mr. J. C Branham, the Justice in this precinct, as he desired to make his will. He also sent for Mr. S. D. Coalman, to whom he gave many messages for his hjniily .speaking of each member bv name. He desired a portion of the Scriptures read but the praver of the dving is sa cred, and we will draw a veil over ihe last hours of the dying man, when the soul passed into the presence of that Godot" Love, whose mercv endureth forever. His last acts were certainly not those of a de liberate suicide. There was nothing to indicate poison in the stomach, the swell ing did not extend below the chest, and no froth came to the lips. If he was poisoned, the poison must have been com municated to the system through the wounds on his neck. In justice to Mrs. Wilson, let me say that their pecuniary fortunes were at a low ebb, and they thought they could do better up the val ley. Her sons ow n land nine miles from Harrisburg, and she told me that she thought it would be better for them to be together, and then she could keep house for her sons. Mr. Wilson loved his chil dren with all the devotion a nature like his was capable of feeling. He also told me that he thought it would be better for his children to be where thejr would have all the advantages of good churches and schools. He was making every prepara tion to go to his family, intending to "start the next Monday. His death was mys terious, to say the least. He was not sick over twelve hours, dyingabout six o'clock Sunday morning, the 11th inst. Sandy, Feb. 17, 1877. Truth. ' o Communication. If l3r any reasonable argument any citi zen of Oregon City can convince me that a paltry fence around a dwelling containing a case of small-pox can confine an imagin ary vitiated atmosphere from floating wherever the wind listrt'u, I also under take to convince said citizen that an addi tion to a garden lence in the north end of the city will be a safe protection from ague, chills. iSzc, arising from the marshes b( low the city : also that casing up other members of t he family will prevent them from breathing the "already vitiated at mosphere where the patient "is.
