Again the people of Lafayette were called upon to lay one of their number beneath the god. At about 6 o'clock p. 111. Dec. 15th, Mrs. Franois Larkins died suddenly, of rheuma tism of the heart. The lady had been ailing for some time with bleeding of the lungs, and was preparing to go to California, for her health,but was suddenly taken by a quick er, though more fatal messenger of death.— Deceased was a daughter of Mrs. Rudder, of this place, and very highly esteemed. Sh»- was a widow, and leaves one child, a little boy, four or five years old. She died in her 27th year. ♦ Grandma Nelson is very sick. I did not learn the nature of her disease, but suppose old age has something to do with it, sh« be- ing over eighty. T. B. Nelson, of this place, has found a «oui mine somewhere near North Yamhill.— The croppings brought in and tested show a good prospect, Several persons down from Amity, last week. They all told about the shooting of the Porter boy by young Smith, and all telf substantially the same story, to wit: Thai Mr. Porter's son, about 12 or 13 years old and Gabe Walling's boy, about the same age. were in the livery stable doing something, when Grant Smith, a young jmm 17 or 1> years of age. entered and going to the desk took out a revolver, which he pointed at young Porter, saying ‘‘ see me shoot the but ton off that fellow's coal.” Porter started to get out of the way, and the other boy. Wall ing, told Smith to ” look out, the pistol is loaded.” Smith paid no heed to tile warning but snapped the pistol one or more times, when it went off. the ball striking Porter.— Of course Smith did not intend to kill any one. but the act looks like a piece of thought less bravado, brought on perhaps, by an overdose of “ Frank and Jesse James," the “Cow Boys of Texas,” or some such reading matter. Tim shooting gallery still goes on and unak«4 lots of fun for the boys. Mrs. Char ley Talmage won a 50-cent prize by ringing £he bell with a dead center shot. Thursday ftigbt is the ladies night at the gallery aud each ¡«dy is entitled to 50 cents the first time she rings the bell fairly. Mrs. Dr. Galbreath is said to be the best average shot among the ladies. As shooting is a very necesaary part of American citizenship, the ladies will probably go with a rush for th« ¿hooting galleries to prepare themselves for that exalted condition. Well, go in la dies; it’« only 2S cent« per shot.first shot free ; hut be «are to take your smelling bottle, and noiue oue to catch you in his arms when you faint. Say Al, what in thunder did you give a fellow away for? I was getting along so nicely with a dozen or tw<> of the ladies, and now you spoiled it all by ” letting the cat out of the bag.” nnd just as leap year is coming in too ; too bad, too bad. ’• Business is very dull,” “Money is very scarce,” and “Times are very hard,” are the current watchwords of the season. Dr. G. B. Smith and wife, of East Portland were up last week viriiting their frienda, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chapman. Ezra, son of Geo. Graves, has been quite sick, but is better now. The Literary society started out bravely, but the revival meeting—that waH not a re vival meeting, killed it dead. The people are not purchasing half the amount of goods ut the stores that they did last year, and are economizing in many ways to tide over the hard times. When we really try there are many things we suppose absolu tely ne cessary to our hapoiness can be dis pensed with. We will haK to come to the cash system sooner or later and the sooner the better. Now is a good time for every one to resolve to pay off his old debts as fast as possible and contract for no new ones. Doctor Daniel W. Cox, died on Thursday, Dec. 13th, 1883, after a short illness with heart disease, at his residence in the town of Sheridan. He was born in Illinois in 1836, and emigrated with his parents to Oregon in 1847, w lere he has lived ever since. He leaves a wife, five children, three brothers, and an «aged mother to mourn their loss. As a Phy sician. he stood at the head of his profession and for many years has had an extensive practice in this section and leaves his fam ily in good circumstances. He was a modest unassuming, benevolent, kind hearted good man and universally beloyed by all who knew him. The family has the sympathy of the whole community. He was buried by the Manonis Fraternity, on Sunday, in their Cem etery, back of town. The funeral was attend ed by a large crowd of sincere mourners. We find it very difficult to write the truth about Dr.Cox without seeming to exaggerate his good qualities: but those who knew him best will acknowledge that he possessed, by nature and education in an eminent degree, all thos * qualities that go to make up a good and usefuil man. D an . NllWBERG. Dec. 10, 1883. Who eyer saw such beautiful winter weather. Road work begins to-day; and we tmnk it is about time, when you come to measure the length, breadth and depth of some of those nice little mortar beds. Who ever saw grain and grass look better at this time of the year, especially after such a drv fall, George Evans has part of his new house finished and has moved into it. Henry Austin has built an addition to his house. Miss Lou Holston has returned home from the Grove. Mrs. Polly Winters and her daughter. Laura, have gone to East Portland with the intention of starting a boarding house. A ooycte club, composed of 18 members, was organized here last Saturday. There will be an exhibition at this place next Friday evening, given by the Social Temperance Union, the proceeds to go to wards buying a book-case for the library. We had a good time Saturday at the Agri cultural Meeting. The subject, “ A Model Fruit Farm,” was well discussed and man) new thoughts and ideas were brought out.— The subject, “The Horse and his Diseases,’’ was pewtponed until next meeting, Jan. 12th, 1884.
