The 14th of February Is, or more correctly was, celebrated in England, Scotland and different parts of the continent, ?aiutuiarijr .laiiib uu .uim.io .u EYniirtv fv n vnrc ruwillnr nnii amufw i, J ' , , ,. . Inst custom. On the eve of St. Val entine a number of young folks maids and bachelors would assem ble together and inscribe upon little billets the names of the equal num ber of the maids and bachelors of their acquaintance, throw the whole Into a receptacle of some sort, and thvn draw them Iottcry-wlse care, of course being taken, that each should draw one of the oppo site sex. The pereon thus drawn becomes one's valentine. But it is fur more probable the custom of chomlng valentines is a relic of that nature religion which was undoubt edly the primitive form of religion lu North-western Europe as else where; and that it sprang from a recognition of the peculiarity of the season. Hence, the explanation, that, "about this time of the year, the birds choose their mates, and thence, probably came the custom of the young men and maidens choosingvalenlines or special loving friends on that day." Valentines are not lews extensively manufact ured than formerly. The newspa pers do not full to record that the post-men delivered so many more hundred letters on that day than they do in general. Xews From an Old Salemite. While C'has. Helleubrand was in Astoria he met Frank ttuley, who formerly resided in Salem and for a time was on the police force. Frank now owns 100 acres of land n short distance back of Astoria and has struck a coal lead ou it that he thinks will yield him a fortune. It isu lino quality of stone coal and the vein discovered Is four feet thick. He hits had samples sent east and a largo iron smelting works pro nounce it superior to any coal for their use yet discovered, and say that If a sufficient quantity is found they will establish a branch busi ness on the coast where it will be accessible for the use of this coal. Mr. Bulcy will fully Investigate and explore his new coal field over which he is sanguine of success. Charlie brought back with him a sample of the find. A Bold Imposter. Itev. Wm. Itollhis, of the M. E- church, In forms a Journal reporter, that a few days ago he was lu receipt of a letter from the pastor of the Meth dlst church of Sidney, Neb., asking him to look upon the church books aud see if he could find tho name of one B. Benton, saying that such a man was confined lu prison there and claimed to bo a member of the M. E. church of Salem, Or. Rev. Rollins did as requested but a search upon the records for 30 years back failed to reveal any such person. It Is now supposed that ho is none other than the man who was men tioned in Tuesday's dally as B. Simpson, and who created consider able excitement over his mode of tryiug to work forged checks. The Motor AVhist Club. This club met lust evening at the resi dence of Mr.T. McF. Pattou. A new feature of choosing partners was in troduced, by the reading of many amusing conundrums. If space permitted we might publish them. The uiiiiinemcnt and Interest in the game continued until 10 o'clock, when a splendid lunch was served, and while enjoying it, a half hour was pasted lu pleasant conversation and witty repartee. About 10:30 all started for their homes, wishing the fcstlnmble mid generous host mid ' htHtitts, u happy good night. A You.nu Man (Jovsi Insane. A young man named Fred Smith was adjudged Insuuo at Corvallls, Saturday, aud wo. committed to tho asylum yesterday evening. It seems that ho wcut to Ynquina nearly two week ago to take the steamer for San Fruticlsoo. but Uie storms have delayed the boats aud he grew so Impatient waiting that It liaseltccted his mind. It ft hoped his trouble Is ouly temporary. MKKTIM18 Bkoun. Itev. W. F.

The Grand Jury Proeetdioff With the Investigation of the Charges Against the Aylnm. The following witnesses have been called and examined before the Marion county grand Jury as to the truth of the charges against the management of the state asylum for the Insane, which have been pnb lishcd In the Jeurnal: Martin Rowley, hardware mer chant and ex-supervisor nt the asy lum. Jesse Macy, proprietor of livery stable, aud fonuerly pecond cook at the asylum. M. Qulnn, at presentnn attendant at the asylum. J. A. Davis, attendant at the asy lum up to last July. T. P. Burt, ex-employe in base ment. editorial comment. The Journal seems to be alone in printing the news about the pending investigation of the asylum. The list of witnesses sworn by the grand jury and the time taken to examine them indi cates that this body of men who represent the state and the people are doing their duty in a (thorough maimer. They will be upheld by the people in a fearless discharge of their duty. A complete vindication of Dr. Lane is hardly to be expected but if he is entirely exonerated in the matter charged none will be more ready to do him Justice tb.au the Journal. But the interest of the people, the honor of the state and the welfare of the un fortunate ones who are sent hero to be treated stands above any personal considerations. Mere love of sen sation would never tempt us to print a line of thit unpleasant affair. The Journal will publish all ob tainable news about the matter. Citizens Call ox County Court.- To-day quite a large num ber of the citizens of Salem called on the county commissioners at the court house, to ascertain iu how far the county would feel able and authorized to assist in rebuilding a bridge at Salem over the Willamette. The object of tho meeting of the! commloners was to ascertain the loss in bridges to the county by the late flood, and to UikT steps tor re-j building the same. The citizens here propose that If the county will ' itMlst nncl nl.tuin lhp po-iinern. ! tlon of. Polk county, that an effort will be made to secure an elec tion here for the voting of the re maining $20,000 bonds authorized by the act of the legislative assembly. We feel that Salem, if taxed, as she will be to rebuild tho bridges iu other parts of the county, ought to be assisted by tho county iu the bridge here, aud that as Salem pays one-third of the taxes in the couuty, she ought In justice to receive generous consideration at the hands of the couuty court, and more especially as Salem has for 123 years or more been paying for bridges all over the county, and receiving scarcely a dollar in return. Well Known in Salem. The only death that is reported from Benton county that can be laid at the direct uue of tho receut flood, occurred ou Moml.iy morning last, , near Alsea b.iy. A large slide came down the mountain side burying ' Il-ibcrt I) utility's residence and itu- J prisoning lJ.ireluy, two children uud itjb.'rt Brown. Tln father and two chlldreii were extricated after i some dillleulty, but Brown was found dead, h.vving been urushed b heavy timber. A Uim near by was wrecked und ten head of stock kill ed. Barclay h well known by many In S.ilem who will bo sorry to he.tr of his misfortune. Brown the man killed is not remembered by auyono thut could bo fouud. .Nonk in this Citv. In ans wer to many inquiries the Journal will state fur the bcuetlt of those who are interested, that flags dls played on account of sickness have several meatiiugs: The yellow flag means smallpox or yellow fever; u red flag denotes scarlet fever, and a white ting denotes diphtheria.
