Mrs. Thomas Watts, a well-known lady, living at Reuben, down the Columbia, came up on the steamer Kellogg yesterday on her way to Chicago and vicinity on a visit to her sisters and her old schoolmates, whom she had not seen for many years. Mrs. Watts was the happiest passenger on board of the Kellogg, as the boat steamed from Reuben to Portland. At the landings along the river her friends had gathered to bid her good-bye, as her acquaintances seemed to be scattered all along the river. Her intention is to return home in eight weeks. A pleasant visit is in store for her. Only one cloud is in the distance. When a child, Mrs. Watts lived in the East, and she was in mortal fear of a thunder storm, and her only apprehension yesterday was that there might be an old-fashioned thunder storm, and in that event she was sure she could not overcome her old child habit of hiding under the bed. Her friends hope her visit will not be attended by any thunder storms.—Oregonian, Wednesday.
