Only the la t name of each person is given,witheut any distinguishing mark of sex, residence, or anything else by which the individeality might be recognized. It would net be very much trouble to those in the department, who have the giving out ef these lists, if they would spend the first name and the place of residence to each one, while it would, certainly, tie a great convenience and satisfaction to the public. The only names we an pick out from the unintel- ligible conklomeration as being those of persone iikely to belong to this county are: Wa4aon, Hogg, Tough and Nicol. The first, ve presume, is Miss Bella Watson, o Seaforth, but the othere, we are not eU e whether they are the names of persons in this county or not, only there wet teachers of these names at- tending the Normal Sehools. The Min- ister of Education is usually particularly carefulthet everything possible is done for the co venienoe of the public, and we have no doubt all he requires is to have his attention directed to this matter, to the heart. The funeral of the mur- dered man passed our door. The man who killed him fled to the mountains, and that will be the last of it. The Sabbath d is. is very poorly observed here. Thel first Sunday we were in this town there was a great base -ball match, which wai attended by a large con- course of eople. They had a band of music on t e ground, and in the evening they finiebled up with a grand ball and supper. Vhe ministers, however, are fighting hIrd and doing all they can to stop this abbath desecration, and we are in hope there will be an improved moral sentiment before long. There are in this town two Presbyterian churches, two Methodist churches, one English church, and a Roman Catholic church. I am sore to say, however, that they are not 1 rgely attended. There are only thirt -four members in the Church that we long to, and the building is capable o seating five hundred. The minister'is a very fine speaker and geed ma4, and I think- he will fill the 1 Church b fore long. His name is Arm -I Strong, a d he has not been long herei Go wherei you will and you are alinol certain to meet some one you hav known b fore. This spring, when m son Sam el was out prospecting fo work he 4et Hughie Hallett. He wa on his w y to Walla Walla. Himael and Joe.I Edge, both Seaforth boys had been working in the mining distric all wint r. I like this country an climate v ry much, but, of course, hav not got ccustomed to the people o their way yet. It is a splendid coun try for f uit. In May we had straw berries f om California, and cherries peaches a d ripe harvest apples in June. If spare I will likely have to go t Winnipe this fall, and if so I will g by Seafo th and have another look a yon all. In the mean time remembe me kindly to any of the old friend: whom yoi may see." MR.]WILLIAM DORRANCE HEARD FIwM.-1Ve are mire that the many old friends of Mr. Wm. Dorrance, formerly of this town, but now of La Grande, -Oregon, will be pleased to hear from him. We give the following extracts from a private letter written by him, on the I6th f June, from the above named town. I am now, with my daughter, living in a Grande. My youngest son, Samuel, I is workin in a town called Milton, here he will have a job to July lst. He is then coming back to, Walla Walla, where he will likely be located permane tly, and we will remove to that place. I like this town of La Grande -very well. My daughter, as you know, is engaged in the dress -making business. She gets all the work she can do, and the wages are $L75 per day ; when she goes out she gets $1.25 per day and board. There is a great de- mand for female labor here. Girls get from for to five dollars per week for doing hose work, and they are hard to get even at these prices. It isler differ- ent, however, with men. I never saw ND many idle men as there are in this country. They come from all parts of the Globe looking for work, but there is leo work for them. I believe there are ten men fer every day's work available for one, and I am told that every town . all &keg the coast is the -same These men, when they fail in getting work they beeezne reckless and many of them eleeperate, and they fight and drink and 'murder. One day this week two idle men were drinking in a saloon, and they fell out about fifty cent') and had a kght, *n4 one of thane stabbed the other MONS ORDERS BY EXPRESS.—Th Canadian xpress Company sends money b3 means of n oney orders, which are absolutely safe, and obe obtained at any office of th; company a very low rates.

WELL KEPA. T PPLES.—Our old friesd, Mr. Wm. N. McMichael, of the Mc il- lop town -line, seems to possess ape ial _skill in the art of preserving apples.
