The pig-roast at the Gem saloon was
a rare feast tor the hoys, and was en
joyed In an orderly manner. Let the
proprietors Insist that their patrons
respect the city ordinances and the
good name of the saloon. A man who
has so little respect for the house as to
raise a row in the rooms should be put
out at once. In ttiis way, the good
name of the house will tie protected
and drunken rows will be less fre
quent. William McKinnon, whose death
was caused by a fall from his barn on
Thursday of last week, at his home on
Canyon creek, was a well known pio
neer of this county. Every man who
has traveled on the road across the
mountains to Prlneville, has known
MeKinnon. He kept a hotel on the
route and always furnished good ac
commodations. He will lie missed by
tile travellug public. Our sympathies
are wilh the widow and children.
The Christmas trees at the Metho
dist, Cutnlierlaiid Presbyterian and
First Presbyterian churches were nil
well attended. The programme at
each church was Bhort but very inter
esting and appropriate. The trees
were all Iwauiifiilly decorated and
were well loaded with presents. One
thing was noticeable the absence of
cosily presents on all the trees this
year, we presume on account of the
hard times; hut all of the little ones
were remembered and made happy by
Borne present.

Albany Democrat, Dec. 24.
T. C. Peebler, now living on the
Walton ranch, had a rough experience
last week, which came near proving
fatal. Mr. Peebler has been putting In
liis lime through the winter mouths

last week, ou ills return home and
wheu within a mile of the house, he
was taken violently 111 and was un
able to get to the house aud had to lie
dowu lu the snow, where he remained
all night, but the next day about 10
o'clock he was able lo reach his home,
after being out, for 27 hours, During
the time lie was lying in the snow his
faithful dog remained by his side and
would continually scratch at him or
lick him, aud it is (bought that by the
dog's efforts he was kept from freezing
lo death, although his feet and hands
were frozen. His wife was all alone
and could not go out to search for him.
The snow nils about 15 inches deep.
The Wilbur, (Wash.,) Register, says:
"On Sunday evening, Cllffi rd Beattie,
the 11-year-old sou of Rev. J. H. Beat
tie, wiib thrown from a curt and
received injuries which oatue near
proving fatal. Mr. Beattie had Just re
turned home from nil appointment in
the country, aud the boy asked bis
futlisM ntrUillsloii lu drls the horn
around to the livery stable, which was
granted. He had no more than be
come seated In the curt than the horse
began to run und kick. Clifford was
thrown out on the rocks and fell on
his head and shoulders. He was
picked up for dead and carried to his
home, just across the street from where
he was thrown out, and Dr. Kelly
called. It Was found that be had sus
tained several severe cuts and bruises
about til head and chest. The nose
was mashed flat and several of the up
per teeth knocked out. He also re
ceived Internal Injuries. The doctor
reports that he Is now out of danger
and will recover with but a slight de

teeth.
About 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon
Mrs. Hill, wife of Dr. J. L. Hill, of Al
bany, was stricken very suddenly with
apoplexy, resulting from the bursting
of a blood vessel In her head from the
strain of a sudden and violent sickness,
while on the porch at the "rear of the
house, and died in a very few minutes.
Mrs. Hill was a woman most highly

her loss will be deeply felt in the com

Diptheria.
There are now five cases of diptheria.
Two children have alicady died with
it, and one other is expected to die.
We do not wish to alarm or excite our
people, but we would not do our duty
if we did not warn them to use every
precaution. Let parents keep their
children closely at home. Make liberal
use of disinfectants aliout the prem
ises. Do not attend public gatherings.
With proper precaution, the dread dis
ease can be stumped out. The council
should prohibit all public gatherings.
Churches and schools should be closed .
A strict quarantine is necessary. This
is a matter of life and death to our chil
dren. The public safety demands un
usual measures aud the public will
support the council. The doctors agree
that the disease can be checked readily
now with proper care, but that neg
lect may cause it to spread. :
A Talented Theatrical Troupe,
The people of this city and vicinity
were especially favored this week by
the appearance, ut the opera house, of
the Weber Dramatic company, who
have played three nights here. They
had large audiences, as it was meet
they should, this company being the
best one that has ever been in our city.
We do not believe there Is a single
person who witnessed the perform
ances that speaks an unfavorable word
for the ladies and gentlemen (for ladies
aud gentlemen they are in the fullest
sense of the word) of the troupe; aud
praises for their splendid acting are
heard ou all sides. Their plays are
all written for the Weber Dramatic
company alone, aud therefore all may
be assured that every one of the
plays will be one they have never seen
before. Their band furnishes superb
music. In fact, too many kind words
cannot be said lor this company. Mr
Fred Moore, press representative, is to
be highly commended for his courteous
treatment of all newspaper men.
Legal Holidays.
Not very much attention Is paid to
legal holidays lu Oregon; but a know!
edge ou the subject will do no harm.
Here Is a list from the statute itself:
"The following days shall lie and
hereby are declared legal holidays in
this state, viz: Every Sunday, the
first day of January, the 22nd day of
February, the 80th day of May, the
4th day of July, the 2oth day of De
cember, aud every day on which un
election is held throughout the state,
and every day appointed by the presi
dent of the United States, or by the
governor of this state for a public fast,
or tliauksgiving or holiday. Negotiable
instruments payable ou a holiday be
come due ou (lie next business day."
Then on February 21, 1887, a section
was added to the statute which added
Labor day: "The first Saturday of
June of each and every year shall be
and the same Is hereby set apart and
declared to be a public holiday, under
the name aud title of labor day."

LEBANON,
Garden on Board a Ship.
Most people have beard of the han g-
inggardena of Babylon, the modern
roof gardens, and the gardens ou float
ing Islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens of ancient
Mexico; but probably few have beard
of a garden ou board ashlp, with farm
yard attachment. The splendid ship
Mnwhan, now In port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip lo Oregon. On leaving Bel
fast for Portland, she took on board as
ballast 2000 tons of Irish soil, which,
when leveled off, made quite s stretch
of ground, and, as the soil of Iteland Is
proverbially fertile, the ship's compa
ny proceeded to put it to good use by
planting a stock of garden truck in it
cabbages, leeks, turnips, radishes,
lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds
came up all right, and the plants flour
ished finely, and, when the ship was
in the tropics, grew with great rapid
ity. As they progressed toward the Horn,
and the weather grew cooler, things
came to perfection rapidly. The crew
and ship's apprentices Amused them
selves by weedlug and cultivating the
plants, and the captain and officers
took regular walks In the gardeu daily,
and all had green vegetables to their
hearts' content. As they came around
the Horn, the garden win re-planted,
and by the time they reached the equa
tor everything was a-blooni and all
hands feasted ou fresh vegetables daily.
The only drawbacks to the gardeu were
the weedB, which grey so rapidly that
they could hardly bo kept dowu, and
the drove of pigs, which were kept In
the farmyard attachment, and which,
on several occasions, when the ship
was bucking Into a nor'easter and roll
ing heavily, broke out of the bouuda
and made serious inroads on the gar
den. It is a serious mutter to call all
hands on board ship, and is only done
in emergencies; but, wheu the pigs got
Into the gardeu there was more pound
ing op forecastle scuttles with hand
spikes and blowing of boatswain's
whistles than If the ship had been laid
aback by a typhoon or all the masts
had been carried away, and every
sleeper was aroused to help get the pigs
out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served
up with green vegetables just before
the Mowban entered the Columbia.
On the arrival of the Mow ban here,
the Irish soil was discharged on the
elevator company's dook and piled up
neatly so that any exiled patriot who
desires a bit of the "ould sod" can be
accommodated. The pile will doubt
