Editor Enterprise: Ihere is a most decided tendency as tho spring opens for the farmers to quit their dissipation and return to their inoro useful occupation. More useful, probably, but I fear to many oi us not so pieasam. Tho past few pleasant days have leeii improved, and considerable laud has been plowed bv tho people in this neighborhood. We aro' all glad to see among us the faces or our old friends and former neighbors, ("apt. A. F. Hedges and family. Captain li. savs there is lor him no place hue Mt. Pleasant, and I am sure we are all as glad to seo him back again as he can be to re turn. M r. J. S. McCord has rented his place and contemplates removing east of the mountains to hunt some place where there is less rain. I f you see Cant. A with a bran new hat you may know he won it ftom Mr.W. 1 on a bet about those Chinamen. Wheat iu this section of country looks well. William II has left tho country again. Teamsters aro anxiously waiting for good roads to haul wood to town. The dozen or more voung men. spoken of in your lasVletter from here as being so disconsolato are, I iiereoive, happy once more. Mrs. C has returned to tho Dalles. Lout is nearly spent, on the hill I meant. ai iss a is quito in, and we mourn her absence from among us. Barn raising is tho ordei of the day.

Editor Enteupiiise : Tho subject of a court houso whether we shall havo one or not will be one of tho issues to bo de cided in tho coming contest in Clackamas county. Tho people of Tualatin precinct are generally in favor oi a court house being built; but if tho honorable county court allows Jas. M. Moore to close up anil obstruct our only road to Oregon City, wo will be in favor of locating it out in the country where we can get to it without cooning the banks ofthe river and risking our lives hi mo aiieiupt. e nave com plained tune and again to the court for redress from the penurious littleness and beggarly selfishness of this man in fenc ing up the road to gain a few feetof ground to expand his hop yard, but to no purpose. 1 here is not a man from the ferry at Ore gon City to Pleasant Hill but what con siders it an outrage, th way wo have leen imposed upon. And if the people of Ore gon city want tno patronage ot this side of the river they must use their influence and aid us in opening the Davton and Oregon City road, so that we can come to town without leaving our teams at tho half-way station. There is barely room for a wagon to pass between J. M. Moore's fence and the river bank, and as the bank is constantly caving oti it is dangerous. W want to know il the iieopleof Pleasant inn ana luaiatin nave no rights that Jas. M. Moore is not bound to respect ? And is there no balm in Gilead 7 Anyone doubting our statements is referred to W. A. Bird. H. E. Haves, J. R.Shaw, R.Ford, Wm. Sharp, J. E. McConnell, D. Sebastian, ana every other man who has traveled along the road in question. Yours truly. JJIRDOCK. An Oregou City Hoy Abroad. Alpine, Schuyler Co., N. Y., Feb 28. H.DITOR i-.nte uprise :lerhaps it may please you and some of tho readers of your paper to learn that Willard II. Latourette visited our place a few days ago. Ho preached in the M. E. Church on Sabbath evening to an intelligent audience. His sermon would give credit to anv young man. He reminds me of Wendell Phillips ; his size, complexion and manner of speech is much like the New England orator. He also gave a lecture Monday evening ; sub ject, "Oregon and the Pacific Coast. Wo all think he gave an honest account of what he knew of that country. He spoke of its advantages and disadvantages for one and a half hours. He held a large audience spell-bound, after which many Questions were asked him an answered. We have a sea captain in our place who has seen considerable of the world, and who is always in for a little fun. Heasked the speaker how tho girls of Oregon com pared with those of Alpine. Willard brought down the houso bv answering that ho was a single man; his hair was short, but could bo pulled. Quite a num lier ot young men, some mechanics, think they will emigrate to Oregon. Simeon Smith, M. D. Disgraceful Conduct. A correspond ent writing from Beaver creek says : "Our young friend Peter Nehren gave a social hop on the 15th inst., tho occasion of his 18th birthday. Dancing was kept up until a late hour, and the only thing that mar red the pleasantness of the occasion was the presence of a big hoodlum who was loaded down with whisky and acted in a disgraceful manner. We might give an account of his doings on this occasion, I ,s,to fdthy to thrust upon a modest public. Wo received an account of a similar affair iu. tho vicinity of Needy a few weeks ago, but as the author failed to sign his name it was consigned to the waste basket. Tho law is always ready to afford protection to every citizen, and it is the duty of those imposed upon bv drunk en hoodlums to give the nearest justice of the peace a chance to investigate the mat ter. We do not think every little dispute should be made the occasion of a law suit but when "bullies" go to private or public parties and disturb and insult everybody it 13 high time the offending party is made to sutler for such disgraceful conduct. Damascus News. Under date of March 12th, "Damascus" sends us the following : The protracted meeting has closed with a good report. There were twelve or thir teen who united witn in ju. Church, and several more were converted who have not become members of any church yet. It was a good thing for tho neigh borhood. We have had somo mco weather recent- lv. and the farmers have taken adrantago of it. Some sowed wheat and somo plant ed potatoes, and they were getting iubil- ant: but ail at once a "uainpuess settled over their labors. has Letter List.

Upon examination it was lound that his arm was badly sprained, and he is on the retired list for a few days. Panther Killed. E. II. Burkhart, liv ing near Harding s Mill, killed a largo panther on Tuesday morning of last week. The varmint had been prowling around his place for some time and had killed several sheep. It came into his yard, and the dogs soon had it up a tree, when Mr. Burkhart arrived on the sceno ami gave the sheep thief two loads of buckshot. which put an end to the varmint, it measured over eight feet in length. To the Penitentiary. King and Bar nard arrested in this city, recently, for stealing two horses of Mr. Prettvman. who resides near East Portland, had a trial in the circuit court at Portland last week and were sentenced to one j'ear's imprisonment in tho penitentiary at Sa- lem. Ihoy passed up the road last l j-iday in charge of the sheriff M ultnomah county. Lost a Finger. Our young friend Orin Cutting, of Milk Creek, met with a serious accident on Wednesday of last week. A number of young men were giving Buck Carlisle and bride a charivari, and while firing a shotgun it exploded, lacerating his left hand in a fearful manner. Ilo has since had the first finger amputated. Important to School Clerks. Tho school superintendent desires to inform the clerks of the various school districts in the county that tho orders for the coun ty school fund aro ready for them. Tho amount apportioned to each child is $1,727. The number of children entitled to school funds is 3.340. The fund, distributed among them is SS.7S1. Vote ok Thanks. At a regular meeting of Cataract Hose Co. No. 2, held at their rooms on Tuesday evening, March 12th, a vote of thanks was unanimously tender ed to Mr. W. W. Ouinn, of Canemah, for the donation of a line flag polo to that company, and t ho same ordered published in the Enterprise. T. A. il i upson, tec. State cws. Thomas Jackson, proprietor of the Phcenix Hotel, died suddenly last Sat urday afternoon of heart disease. Several Portland butchers havo been indicted for violating the statute which prohibits tho erection or maintaining of a slaughter houso within two miles of a county road. There is a proposition to annex Jose phine county to Jackson. Many people in tho two counties seem to bo in favor of it. A nugget of almost pure gold, weigh ing almost 400, was found in Canada Gulch, near Jacksonville, one day last week. Salmon have not yet commenced to run in the Columbia river in sufficient numbers to pay tuo fisheries to com mence "operations. A boy named Wm. Palmer has myste riousiy disappeared Irom bis home on Whiskey Gulch, Josephino county Foul play is suspected. A rich strike is reported in tho Monu- meutal mine m Eastern Oregon. Ore is being taken out which will yield 82,000 to the ton. Tho ore is antimo- nial and ruby silver. The statement that the Nationals or Labor and Greenback party in Polk and the Democracy of that county had har monized and agreed upon the ticket nominated by tho Democratic conven tion proves to have been an error. Tbe Democrats made their nominations and by a set of resolutions tried to steal the Nationals' thunder and capture some of their men; but the plan has failed. On the 7th inst. the Nationals met and nom inated the following full ticket: For representatives, D. Stump, J. Hawley, and J. K. bears; for connty judge, T Pearce; sheriff, W. A. Henry; clerk, E C. Hall; treasurer, II. Howe; school superiutendent, S. F. Rennet; county commissioners, L. u. Ivyte, J. V. B Butler; surveyor, T. L. Butler; coroner, L. W. Robertson. Oregon State Grange. Patrons of Husbandry: Tho time for the assembling of the 5th annual session of the Oregon State Grange is not far in the future, being the fourth Tuesday of May (28th day), 1878. Tho place selected by the executive committee for the assembling of the grange is in the city of Salem. It is the duties of the deputies of the various counties iu the jurisdiction to call conventions to meet at their re spective county seals on the 2d day of April, to elect representatives to the State Grange. Should the deputy of any grange neglect or fail to call such meeting as the law directs, each subor dinate grange will elect delegates to their respective county conventions, and meet on the day above mentioned and elect representatives to tho State Grange. The law as published in printed pro ceedings of the Stato Grange of Oregon for either of the years 1870 or 1S77, will govern your elections, except that Past Masters aro eligible to be elected repre sentatives, and further, the wife of a Master or Past Master elected represen tative if a Matron is a voting member of the State Grange. It 13 very desirable that a full attendance of tho representa tives be had. All fourth degree mem bers are cordially invited to meet with the State Grange. We feel warranted in saying that the citizens of Salem and the brotherhood in the vicinity will extend to all a hearty and fraternal welcome. William Cyrus, Master. Sao, March 11th, 1S78. LOVE. They say it is sad to love, Who loveth not again ; And yet mv darling I have not found My love for you a pain Nor do I blush to own how sweet My darling is to me, Though mino I know you never were, Nor mine can never be. Yet soft against my cheek j-our check Has many a timo been pressed; And you have pillowed my head Upon your loving breast. Without a thought you leavo me, Another's breast to seek ; Yet no jealous pang do I feel, No tear bedews my cheek. Ere his pure love I learned to prize, That holy love my heart would miss ; His blessings soothed my miseries, As he hushed me with a good-night kiss. And should wo part forever now, Though you would know no care, A memory of you my heart Whilo still it beats must bear. But hero I pause one word to speak, Lest some should think mo bold; Tho object of my constancy I havo only threo weeks known. Canemah School. Girl.
