This quo tation is as ojd as the hills, but we nev er fully appreciated the "charms" un til Monday evening last. We had re tired for the night, and was about to enter the solemn abode of the sleepers with a three-line item about the winter oats being froze out, on our mind, when like distant thunder something aroused tis from our slumber, in time to catch the work "blizzard," as one of the boys In another part of our country cottage, no doubt, had lieen having a vision of Dakota, .

Roseoe & Co., 40x5-3 feet, fronting on Graut street, which, when complet ed, will be quite an addition to their al ready capacious stores. AVe are glad to note this improvement as it denotes an increase in their business. The new building will be espeeialls' for agricul tural implements. Mr. Roseoe goes to Portland on Monday next for the pur pose of purchasing a large "stock of im plements, which, in a few days, Mill be stored in Cue new warehouse for the inspection of farmers. We predict for these jrentlemen a good trade this sea son. They detterve the same. Releasei).

A wise man's motto: Leave no farm gate ajar look- to the little things about the place. We regret to state that Mrs. Wm. Reed, of this place, has been quite ill for the past.few days. We learn thut the Salt marsh liros. have sold their placer claim in Jackson county. The reported price is f 10,000. "Uncle" Jesse Parrish and O. W. Klum, two of Sodaville's esteemed cit izens, called at Ijcbanon on Wednesday. The weather is warm for, the season, ranging from SO to 39 degrees alxrve, but cloudy. Roads are in bad condi tion for travel. We have every reason to predict a largo crop of spring poetry this year, as several unmatured samples have al ready readied us. The statistics show that retailers of liquor realize a profit of 133$ per cent, on the investment. This statement should set consumers to thinking. The students of the academy gave a party Friday evening, Feb. 3, in honor of Prof. Gilbert's birthday Joy and mirth prevailed the entire evening. Andrews & Hackleman yesterday re ceived another large invoice of the celebrated ?3 and $4 Douglas shoes. They arc being relieved of them at a rapid rate. On Tuesday last C. B. Montague, Chas.

W. Dyson, of Brownsville, bears the pain ful intelligence of the death of his baby boy. 'Tis sad, indeed, as he jtvas a child possessed of many pleasipg at tractions. ; G. W. Smith, of this place, has been engaged in doing the tin work on the new church, at Spicer. When finished it will be a decided improvement s that place, which gives promise of healthy growth. A farmer who has some valuable fact to communicate to his neigh?or cannot do better than to send it through his paper where it will be sure to have place, and reach many more farmers than if reported by word of mouth. Send in the news. Never mind if you can't send a long letter. One good item beats a long Utter written about nothing in particular and everything in general. Let us hear from cverv j . t m surririse ,i.,.m. i Voters are not so straight up the backs, j politically, cs they used to be. T. L. Wallace, of the firm of Wallace & Thompson, grocerymen, Albany, gave Lebanon a call Sunday night. Mr. Wallace anticipates moving their business into the new brick on Main street in a short time. When they do we expect to see a fine store in the gro cery line. J. R. Thompson, of Tallnian, who has lieen sick f r some time, gave us a j Place an1 continue for three days, ad- jouming the evening of April 6th. With all due reverence for the cause of prohibition, we would say to the friends of the third party movement in this county, that if they expect to effect anything, they will have to show a more liberal policy than they did in their last campaign. The "God, Home and Xative Land" theme did good ser vice then, but it w ill take something more substantial to run between thel two old parties. Says the Sign, the new paper pub lished at the Oregon school for deaf mutes: "An enterprising agent, once walked two miles for the purpose of selling the superintendent of this in stitution a piano. When that officer opened the subject to him and offered to pay double price for the instrument if he would guarantee that a deaf-mute could learn to play a tune on it in for ty years, he was the most squelched looking agent that ever trod the road." On AVednesday morning last, Dr. T. A. Winter, a physician who under stands his business, left the place for Pendleton. The specialty he is prac ticing in Oregon is one of the utmost benefit to a large class of people in this state, and aa the Doctor is a gentleman meriting the confidence of the people, and has, to our certain knowledge, cur ed the most difficult cases of piles, we take pleasure in commending him to any one suffering in this direction. There are others in Lebanon who will adI ndore these lines . In looking over the adveitisements from Albany in the Express, it will ! be seen that S. E. Young, dealer in ( general merchandise; L, E, Blaiu, and t C B. Roland & Co., dealers in elothinsr. ! gents furnishing goods, cfp.( are enti tled to the consideration of our readers. When purchases are made away from home, merchants who are enterprising enough to ak you to call on them i t,m,qgt, the (mns of ypur IocaI pa. ghmld be remembered. The. fi-class gcntUwn to deal with. If you have ocrn?i"n, give them a call. THE OLD AND NEW CITY COUNCIL. The Retiring City DlHrrn Close their Of ficial Bualneas with a Grand Sur-er at the City ltcataurant. On Tuesday evening last, occurred the final meeting of the town council for the fiscal year ending on that date, With all members of the old and new noard present. After the usual rou tine of business had been transacted, President Cruson rend his final report as follows, w hich shows the city to be in good condition financially: To the Honorable, the City Council of the city of Lebanon: Gentlemen In accordance with the law, I am, ns president of your honer able body, required to make an annual reiiort ot the nnaiictal, sanitary and other condition of your municipal gov ernment, ana to nuiKe such recommen dations regarding improvements as seem most expedient. The report of your treasun-r shows the financial condition of the city to bens follows: Amount received In prncrnl ftm1 ...., 8 7t"!.7" Amount jmWI out of pctieral ftiml ATT.So Amount received in stiwt ftmn. ........ :tr9.4o Amount iil out of street fund .1t!M0 Total amount received from nil sources... l.l:.ir Toiul amount puid out for all purposes.... W showing a nett balance in treasury of $102,75, a result that is very satisfac tory, especially to the incoming coun cil. Your streets, crosswalks niM side walks, are in good condition for the time of year, and no recommendations are needed except it tie the cleaning oft" of crosswalks in front of private barns and at the openings of alleys, where the walks of both conic together. I would most earnestly recommend, as soon as the weather and roads will permit, that the city contribute enough money to put in good repair, u certain piece of road outside and contiguous to the city limits on the south. I would also recommend, when the time colnes for working the streets, that Maple street lie graveled between Main and Second streets, it having be come one of the business streets of our city. The health of the city in the past year has I ." remarkably good, and there arc no recommendations needed except that the st recti and alleys be Kept clean uuring the coming spring and summer months. In retrard to the Fire IX-pnrtment, we find from examination of thtf secre tary's looks, that there are forty mem bers in good standing with over one hundred dollars in the treasury of the company. We find also from the foreman s re- Cort that the engine, hose, ladders, uckets and other apparatus, is in gixxl condition. I he roof or the city hall has com menced lrakinsr in several tilaees and should be roofed anew the coming summer. The house is also in need of paint, and I would recommend that the city hall be leveled, roofed and painted", and also that the lnll tour le enclosed and painted, there !eing funds enough on hand to do the work, mentioned, and it would not only be a sulstanti:il and valuable improvement to the city property, but a very great improvement to the general appear-1 ance ot tne city. Having no further recommendations to make, I wUh to tender my most sincere thanks to the outgoing council for the uniform courtesy, and kind manner in which they "have treated me, and my congratulations and well wishes to the incoming council. Very Respectfully Submit ted President Council. At the conclusion of Mr. Cruson's ! report, the retiring council adjourned j xinc die. and the council consisting of ' the following gentlemen were sworn in: i Frc-side-nt J. A. Board. Councilmen C. C. Hackleman, J. V. Keebk-r, C. H. Harmon, G. T. Cot ton. Recorder Dr. J. H. P. Hope. Treasurer M. E. He-am As is customary on such occasions, 1 President Iteard submitted the follow- j ing line of policy, which if earrie-d out j during the year, will certeinly be very beneficial to the city and reflect great j credit upon its officers: j To the Honorable Common Council of the City of Lebanon : Grnttemcn-On this occasion the; t ommenceme-nt of our olncial associa-! lion mm in accorwaiii-v witu lormer t customs and existintr laws, it is the du- j t v of the pre? sident ofthe council-eht-t ! on assuming me uuiies oi ma omce, to , S . , , r - ... . 1 iects relatin'to the eeueral welfare of i the city. 1 shall not detain you v, ith a lengthy communication and I hoje, gentlemen, tliat you will not think me as timing too much by the re-commendations which follow, coining as they elo, from one who is no better in-forme-d on matters pertaining to the general welfare of the city than 3-ou are yourselves. We find the financial condition of our city treasury in a very satisfactory condition. I am informed by our pre decesson that the city is free from debt, and that there is a balance in hands of the city trvasury of something near two l.undrctl dollars. This added to the revenues collected from all sources for the present year will aggregate sonic thing near twelve hundred ilollars. The road and stre-ct fund will amount to something near four hundred ilol lars, which will leave you a common fund of airout eight hundred dollars, which amount, if judiciously appropri ated, will go far towards beautifying and improving our thrifty little city. It is your duty, gentlemen, as repre sentatives of the iK-ople, to see that the common fund is judiciously appropri ated ; to see that every dollar expended brings a good return in the way of im provement to our city. Our fire department should le well maintained and completely organized, and should be supplier! "with ample means for operation at all times, as up on this branch alone doends the safety of our business and residence property. Tlie cleansing of streets ami alleys, I think, should rettivc your early atten tion. I am informed that there is an existing ordinance on this subject, ami I would recommend that you see that the same is enforced so as to include streets, alk-ys, etssjxols ami backyards, as I deem jt necessary for the health and safety of the city. I would sug gest that you pay ample attention to all existing laws and see that they are pn perly executed; and if necessary re peal them or properly amend them that they may b properly enforced. I am informed that there is an existing or dinance relating to the controlling of contagious disease's within the city lim its. Thia, gentlemen, should receive your attention and if needs lie, you should so amend the law as to give'the city authorities absolute control over any cases which may come within their jurisdiction. You are all business men of our city and as such arc inter ested in her future welfare, and the people will ejspect that their Interests will bp protecte-d by you. In conclusion, gentlemen, in regard to my position as presiding officer over your honorable body, I would rcspe-ct-fully attk the aid and help of each one of you that I may discharge my duties with fairness and in a manner which will be satisfactory to you all. J. A. Beard, President Council, At the conclusion of the above re marks, President Beard appointed his committees ami everything was in ! Tinining cnVr under the new adminis- t ration. There lielng no further business, supper wan announced and the first meeting of the new council adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening next, February 14. the stjri'F.n was served at the City restnurnnt, and Mr. and Mrs. Saltmarsh are to be con gratulated oh the very excellent repast which the city officials ami invited guests partook of. It M as a very pleas ant affair Indeed, enlivened by jolly speeches on the part of the gentlemen, and pleasing remarks by the ladies. The retiring members of the city council during their administration judging from the reports, have been faithful in the discharge of their duties In the interest of the city, and we con gratulate the new ones that they en ter upon theirs with a neat balance in the treasury. It hi gratifying, too, that the "surplus" Is not so as to give the president any uneasiness as to the most judicious methods of getting rid of it. KKFOItT OF TEACHERS' MEETING.

H. W. HKKIio.V, Sec'y. MOINTAIN- HOME. January 31. As January, after her low freaks and high freaks of temperature, is alout to cIosh; out business for the present and make room for the short month of Feb ruary to spread herself for the short space of twenty-nine days, which, by the way is one day more than her usu al allowance, I will try again to come to the rescue of Mountain Home and see if I can stir up something of local intere-st, for sometimes it liecomea ab solutely nee-essary, when things won't stir themselves, to stir them a littleand see what can be done in that way. There has lccn out little sickness here this winteT except in the families of Mr. Adrage and Mr. Fruit, and they were reported be-tter at last accounts. Stock is doing better this winter, so far, than last. No loss has lieen re ported by freezing, or from want of fixxl, and now that these warm elays are starting up the grass, it is to be hoped that feed will be sufficient if not abundant, and that stock will come out all right in the spring. E. S. Trine started for Plymouth, Cal., on the 2(ith, to take charge of a harness shop for his cousin, Elmer E. Trine, who went from this place to Cal afornia lietwivn Christmas ami New Year. Xo accidents have occurred worth recording, but as one came very near happening yesterday, I will give that a passing notice. As Old Father Trine was going down the rocky road to wards Brownsville in a two horse cart, (one of those constructed for light draft on bad roads) one of the wheels struck a projecting root, partially tilting the cart and unceremoniously dumping the old man over the corneT of the little box bed into the road right down among the rocks In front of the wheel and nearly under the heels of one of the horses; he spoke to the horse's as he was in the act of taking his tumble, and at tie same time retaining a firm hold of the lineti until he gathered him self up, and quieted the team. On ex amination he found that he had reef iv ed no serious injuries, only somewhat jamcd, and two slight bruises, one on the right shoulder, and the other on his right hip, each .of which had. been embrace 1 bv a huge rock, as he alight- ed so unevsncctcdly ujon them.

Bruce were in town a few days ago, from whom I learn that things are all O Iv over the roaring Santiam. Mr. Embrec, of McDowel Creek, was ill Waterloo Saturday night, and Is higlilj' pleased with IiIm homestead, and feels thai he will, soon have a home with icaee and plenty. Alfred Fielding has a purveyor run ning his lines on his farm so that he can intelligently improve it. Jumes Vanderpool is a reliable surveyor and it docs not take a farm to pay the ex pense's. II. Y. Gibson Is undoubteelly the liet man for maii carrier we could find. He mis to merit the large patronage he is enjoying. His whole mind and energy is devoted to the interest of his patrons, ami considering the roads, his charges are very low. The de-puty sheriff came up Monday to take possession of the Mrs. S. D. Ga per property In the name of its present owner, F. M. Carter, of Toledo, Or. I understand that Jedin W. Cams Is to take charge of household goods In the house belonging to Mrs. Gager. Checkers arequiet since C. F. Barker, of Boston, beat Mr. Martin, the Sentch champion at Glasgow, Scotland. Hail Barker proved too short, our local experts would have felt disposed to challenge somebody and most likely it wemld have been your correspondent instead of Martin; but in either case some one would have lecii beaten. Prof. Clark has begun his second te'rm in vocal music at Sodaville. He is an adept in Itoth vocal and instru mental music, ami has a class and a numlier of pupils In instrumental mus ic at Waterloo, ami they are highly pleased with their teacher, realizing his high proficiency In the science with the iecu!iar tae-t, ami adaptation of im parting his knowleelge. John W. Cams is hewing timbers for a new house. I fear that he will not build it, as a Mr. Shaw is 'negotiat ing for Mr. Cams' farm, and it now sit-ins evident that they will trade. Mr. Shaw is from Kansas, and seems highly pleased with our country. Of course any one would 1h", to come here and see our weather and the petple when the blizzard is raging so unmer cifully in the east. Ye. Xa Vehar. mio. February 8. Our genial townsman, W. E.

The newly married couple are both reorted sick this morning measles of course the rosy devil is spoiling the "honey moon ;" but such is life. But little sickness, measles excepted. The last crep Is on hands; and when the rosy crop is gathered, we will expect a glorious rest. "So mote it be." Polities is very quie't Just now. The two old hulks dreading the 14th of February, when that huge mountain of 041 is exjHt-te-d to loom up, which will make "Jordon a hard road to tra vel."

Mr. A. H.Johnson has been failing in health for some time, and thinking a change of climate would benefit him, started to California, but in conse quence of the blockade, is stopping in Salem a few days with relative. Farmers are complaining of crops being froze out, which is very discour aging, but hope our great anchor cheers us up with the prospects (gloom y, how ever) that a better time Is coming.
