On Tuesday evening a limited number of the faithful assembled at Martin's Hall to derive inspiration and glean new light, upon the cam paign issues through the expound ing of their principles by Judge O'Day of Portland. The meeting was presided over by Hon. Robert Viatch, who voiced his sentiments in a pleasant little talk and then introduced the evening's orator Judge O'Day, who entertained his hearers for about two hours witjt the details of democratic philosophy and sought to buoy up their faith ma triumph at the polls on No vember 6. The reporter was obliged to divide his time with the liig republican rally in Masonic Hall, which precludes u more ex tended notice of the democratic gathering. Judge O'Day is an able speaker and got close to his au dience, because they were mainly up in front, and it is understood that they felt well paid for having listened to his internretation of their cherished theories. Rough staging. The stage from Bohemia on last Saturday got in quite late in the evening. The heavy rains in the mountains made of Sharp's Creek a swollen torrent which the stage was obliged to ford several times, besides fallen rrees blocked the roads and a less intrepid driver never would have gotten through. 01 all the jehews that handle the ribbons in these parts Ed Patterson stands at the head. No obstacles are permitted to bar his way. He laughs at the storms, smiles at the mud and pursues the even tenor of his way nnd is sure to get you there on time. A MONSTltR Al'I'MC J. B.

They measure 12x12 inches and are indeed beauties. Many thanks Mr. Lincoln. THE '49 DRAMA. CROWDED HOUSE GREETED 'HIE HOME TAI.UNT. The Play Well Produced and Well Received and the Woodmen of Hie Wot Id Well Pleased. On Saturday evening last the much talked about drama of the days of '49 was given at the Opera House to an appreciative audience that filled the hall full. Promptly nt 8 o'clock the curtain rose on the first act and throughout the entire play everything worked in such perfect unison that had the char acters been in the hands of pro fessionals they could not have been more evenly rendetcd or more strikingly portrayed, and the audience never fur a moment, from the going up of the curtain in the first act to its falling on the com pleted drama, lust its absorbing in terest in the delails and the final consummation of triumph of the hero and heroine over the heavy villiau and his minor satclites. This play was conceived and en tered into for a most worthy object and was enacted by seventeen worthy men and women of this community, who gave their time and labor freely to the end that an evening of pleasant and instructive entertainment might be enjoyed by til and the furtherance of good be advanced in other directions. That success crowned their efforts is due to their single aim of purpose. In the six mouths that the writer has Iteen in this city no professional organization has given the people so good a performance as this ag gregation of home talent. It is spoken of on the streets in high terms of praise and the hope is ex pressed that the entertainment will be repeated at no distant date. To particularize on the merits of the individual players would con sume more space than can well be allotted, and all deserve merited mention for the parts they played, tl'.ereforc the principals only will be considered as they were seen. Mrs. Goodman as Tatters cap tured the large audience the mo ment of bet appearance and held tlieut with her to the end. Mrs. Vandeuburg was an ideal picture of the temperance mission ary. Her makeup was true to life and she was full of guile. F. G. Eby, as the hero had a most difficultlpart. In the deserted cabin scene he was at his best and made a decided hit. His grief over the death of his mother was also a strong card. Harry I'ickard as the villain made the most of his part, and if the people of this city did not know that Harry is a good fellow he might be invited to leave town, for he acted l'ke bad medicine. J. C. Johnson as the Major was simply immense and acquitted him self with much credit throughout. His antics and trials with the gar den gate and a heavy jag kept the audience in a roar of laughter. Mr.' Goodman as the all-around officeholder and boon companion of the Major caused a deal of merri ment and won the approval of the audience. W. L. Coppernoll as the land speculator and victim of the villain did some very good acting, especi ally in the deserted cabin in the woods.' W. Wallace in his dual character of negro man servant and as Lawyer Holt made the most of the parts assigned to hint. NATIVH PAINT. Ellis Simmons and R. Lane were in town 011 Monday exhibiting some fine specimens of work done with the paint ore taken from Mr. Simmons' mine at Walker.

Uncle Hob Carey, whom every body knows and likes and who has lived in these parts for many years, has sold the old farm for a good round sum and is going back east to visit once again the scenes of his youthful days. He came here from Kansas about 1870 and for a year or more worked at bis trade as blacksmith in Latham. He then set up a shop for himself here itrl Cottage Grove and for 20 years carried on that business. He then made a trip to California to visit his brother and other relatives, for about a year, and on his return hpm boutrht .10 acres of land at a Gowdy ville, got married the second time and settled down to the peace ful life of the old farm. Now he has sold out and for a time at least will leave these familiar scenes. Uncle Bob will be missed from his accustomed haunts, and many times his name will be spoken in loving remembrance by his host of friends about here. The Nugget wishes him God speed and many days of pleasure in the time to come SPUiNDID APPI.I5S. J. H.

DOING FINK. In the last two weeks Contractor Lea has made wonderful strides in the reconstruction of Main street. Three entire blocks have been covered with coarse rock and the two remaining blocks have received their filling in and half of one has received its first layer ot rock. The stormy weather of the past day or two has greatly retarded the work, but the contractor will not let any thing stop him from prosecuting the work, and is fqrging ahead as fast as it is possible to do so. That portion already laid furnishes an eloquent object lesson when con trasted with the wretched condition and unsightly appearance of the unfinished portion.
