Mr. Oeorge LaTtocque, an old and well known resident of our town, died in Oak land, California, on the 22d of February, at the ago of 56 vears. He left hero last fall, suffering from 'a neuralgic attack, find hoping a change of climate would tenefit him ; but hi ma-lad v grew upon him with the above result. Sir. LaKocque ras ol an honest, impulsive disposition. quick to come to a decision, and immova ble wlien taken ; ins word wis as good as ins oonu, ana none can dispute ins un- rigmness auu promt v of character, J I is wealth never led him to ostentation, but he was always the same, to rich or poor penial and k4nd hearted. He was tenacious of what ne thought to be his rights, and Although without the learning of the schools he had acquired a deep business Insight, ana oy sell-education became tho equal of any in managing a large property. lie was undoubtedly the best iudgo of rjuaiuies ot vneat ot any man in the State and tor this reason the Imperial Mills, of wnieii ne was managing owner, long re- tameu asceiuiancy over others in the man h fact u re of choice grades of Hour.

Communicated Editor Enterprise: In response to the communication of A. O. Yates, in last week's issue, which seems to bo aimed at the public generally, I would say that the purpose of a fence is not so much to keep the small-pox in as to keen fools out. The balance of his essay seems to be founded on the most astute and profound philos ophy, and is so self-evident that a mule ought not to kick against It. We want disinfectants, and oh 1 Yates, we must have "ut. "se wnat would you have to rail atT Citizen. The Concert. The Camiila Urso Concert troupe was greeted by a large audience on Friday night, and judging from the vociferous "encores" the artists wore thoroughly ap preciated. Madame Urso ranks very high as a violinist, taking rank with such mas ters as Wieniauske, Ole iJull.Vieuxtenins. i Ernst, and in our limited knowledge of. music we could not help noticing how far she exceeded in grace, elegance of toucli I and harmony anyone who has ever before j appeared in this city. Her concerts from ! Mendelssohn was 'a grand effort, and though rather too classical for the unculti vated ear, it was thoroughly enjoyed. On being brought before the audience a sec ond time she played the famous Saltarella, which, on account of its familiarity, was perhaps even better received than the pre ceding opus 64. Her rendition of "The East Itose of Summer" was a most ex quisite performance, actually holding the audience sjell-bound from the first stroke of the bow to her retiriii'r bow. Misslvv Wandesforde's singing, to use an enrap tured girl's expression, "was too lovely for anything." She is quite young and though her voice has not received the volume of maturity, her compass is ex traordinary, and we prognosticate a bright future for her close at hand. Her charm ing singing of "The Lover and the Bird" fully deserved the loud plaudits, and many were the wishes that she would sing her entire reportoire. Mr. Augusta Sauret's performance on the piano was brilliant, while the vocalisms of Mr. Yaindlcy called forth loud expressions of delight. Mr. Pllueger's "Salva Dimora" showed a cultivated voice and feeling heart. On being encored he sang most enchantingly Santley's great favorite, "Le Postillion Je Lonjuneau." The troupe was very much pleased with its reception here, and we can safely answer for our people that it was in every way deserving it, and the wish is general that the troupe complete or as individuals maj' soon visit us again. University Fund Commissioner. The last Legislature passed an act enti tled, "An act to provide for the support and government of the University of Oregon," wherein it was enacted that each Justice of the Supreme font shall ap point in eacn county ot ins district a per son wno snail nest vleil " U niversitv Fund Commissioner." In accordance with this act, Judge Shattuck has appoiuted Col. v . Li. w into as commissioner lor Clacka mas county. A Littlk Draw. A Portland corres pondent to the lloseburg Independent says: "For weeks past the sports about town have been talking over a little game of "draw" that took place a few-evenings ago at tne .t. Charles, m which four km raked the pot over four aces! George, the landlord, is a well known clever fellow in t'uuer uorscuesn or pasteboard, and is always willing to accommodate his cuests by taking a hand. We'l.on this particular evening George and three others were passing the buck, one of whom was from Oregon City. The deal happened to oe hi weorge s rigut, ana lie looked at his hand and chipped ", the Oregon City r.t his left saw the live and raised f 40, the third man and dealer both stayed out: George saw the $40 and drew two cards me Oregon tirr man "stood pat. George went to his safe and raised the pot 100, wiiicn liie uregon City chap called down George spread four aces on the table to the other fellow .s four kings, and as he reached tor the rot the Oregon City man swept the board, with the remark that "Four kings always bo t four aces where two el them are 'diamonds!" as was the cuse with Gcorire's "invincible." Jeortrc lost the pot and his temper both, and it is SM I that the air is vet sulphurous about the corner ot Morrison and Front. Tin rtiiie of "Ah Sin" must be pi ived "low town" to jret.awa v with every "iiill Nve." There are many persons who do not now how to stop a newspaper.

We consider diphtheria a much more fatal disease, and more dreaded, than small-pox, about which people are very liable to become scared whenever it ap pears in their neighborhood. We are fortified in this opinion by an official statement from the Board of Health of San Francisco, from which it appears that the number of deaths in that city from small-pox, from May 19th to Jan uary 27th, was 385, and from diphther ia, from July 1st to samedate, 458, of which 110 occurred in December.

Tho melted iron was thrown around and on him in a perfect shower, and he was burned dreadlully. The following certificate was given to me, by him, about eight weeks after tho accident : New York, Jan. 11, 18C0. My name is Jacob Hardy; I am an Iron Founder. I was badly burnt by hot iron in November last; my burns healed, but 1 had a running sore on my leg that would not heal, I tried Holloway's Ointment and it cured me in a few weeks. This is all true and anybody can see meat Jackson'slron Works, 2d Avenne. J. HAltDYllOtioereh Street. o EXTRACTS FROM V A RIO US LETTERS. "I had no appetite; Holloway's Tills gave me a hearty one."

In all diseases affecting these . organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be afilictcd with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains set tled in the loins over the regions of the kid neys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ointment should Ik? well rubbed into the small of the back at bed time.
