Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 10th, 1878. Editor Enterprise: For some time past tho constant tlow of sarcasm has kept Farmer quiet, for it seemed that all Mt. Pleasant had combined in writingsareastic sayings. Knowing that I am not of a. sar castic nature, I now venture to write to yen once more, trusting to luck not to make anv one angry. On Wednesday last a number of tho friends of Miss 'Clara Vinson assembled at the residence of M r. Warner, to witness the marriage of Miss Vinson to Mr. E. J. Swalford, ot Salem. At 0110 o'clock the happy pair were made as one tho bride and groom looking so handsome and hap py that they provoked the envy of all. After the usual congratulations all ad journed to another room, where an elegant table was waiting. At four o'clock tho newly married pair, accompanied by a number of their friends, drove to Oregon City, where they met the live o'clock train and repaired to Salem, whero Mr. S. is in business. Most assure.! ly do we all hope their voyoge through life'may Ik; a happy one ; for while we are sorry to lose one of our most pleasant young ladies, ye-t we cannot help hoping that she will kiio v no sorrow in the future. Numerous sociables and pleasant little parties have taken place lately, but the great event of the season is vet to come oil, as M r. Partlow, on his birthday, is going to show us how to enjoy ourselves. 'Wil liam." wo always have a good timo at your house, and only wish your birthday came once a mouth ("or rather the anniver sary of it). Some timo sin-e three of our young men went coon hunting. Coons were scarce, but they found some hogs that were dis posed to disturb their peaceful march. Apple trees were handy, and one of these brave Kimrnds ascended to the topmost branches. The next dav tho owner of tho orchard reported boar "in the neighbor hood, as one of his trees had all the limbs broken off. The owners of the colts won and lost at cribbago spend their time guarding their respective animals from seizure, as both claim that they aro the winning party. Messrs.

Two men, named Sut.-o and Shuck, about two weeks a,go, id ten; pled to bring a raft of lumber down tho Clackamas from the Githcns mill to E. 15. Fellows' place. They were new hands at the business, and met wil!i several mishaps. At tho mouth of Clear creek they stranded the raft on a shoal in the middle of the si ream, and were unable to get it afloat again. Deing without a boat and the water and weather being cold, they were not in a very com fortable situation. They shouted for help with all fiieir might, but failed to get re lief until the next day at about 3 o'clock, having been on the raft about 21 hours, when a son of Mr. Shuck heard them and tried to come to their rescue on horseback, but as soon as ho got in t he current the horse turned a sumcrsauit iMid left tho rider floundering in the freezing water. His fat!. or shouted to him, '"Sonny, swim siohore," and like a dutiful son he did so, alter going down the stream near a mile wilii tl:e current. It wiu; a hard struggle" nii'l the chances were agaiust the boy's reaching shore, and its a great wonder that, he did. The horse came out all right. At last an old boat was discovered, and the half frozen men were rescued from their perilous petition. They wore satis fied with their experience, and secured the services of an experienced raftsman, I'M. Chase, to takw their lumber to its des tination. The Var.hltl Vi-i.-.M-Pox Casts.

He was unwell when he came, and was subsequently taken down with, and treated for, as wo understand, tho measles, lie died and was buried some days ayo.

We are 'glad to see our people taking tho proper steps to arrest the pro gressed the disease, and if they will act with discretion, and provide themselves with proper preventives, there is no need of its spreading any further.
