So our friend is gone—lost forever to the bachelor fra- ternity! We noticed the door of his law office, as well as the veranda of the same, was heavily draped in mourning on the day following his emigration to the State of Matrimony. Honored as a citizen, generous as a friend, successful as a lawyer, he has won his first great case, and long may he live to enjoy the fruits of his success.

Who Wouldn't Be an Editor
J. C. Elder, of Josephine county, abounds in generosity and good things. He has placed us under a thousand obliga- tions for a fine and large box of honey just as the little busy mechanics made it. He says: "We are considerably on the secesh down here, but there is a good deal of redeeming sweetness in the country."

Portland Item
The "Morning Oregonian has a larger subscription list than any other daily published in the city of Portland;" and "the Daily Times has the largest circulation of any daily paper in the city." Glad to know that they are both doing better than each other. November 12, 1862.
"What Manner of Man He Is"
". . . we have often attempted to limn out Onagar Jacobs, of the Sentinel, but each successive attempt has been a failure, and to-day we have not the remotest idea of 'what manner of a man he is'."—Mountaineer.
Well, friend Newell, when you attempt to "limn" us out. . . again, just paint us five feet and ten inches in height, moderately well proportioned and decidedly handsome, and you have us. While, if you insist on calling us "Onagar", why just follow the authography of the witty and musical Eugene neutral.
