On last Sunday about 3 o'clock an -attempt was maGe to fire the Enterprise building. and but for the vigilance of Marshal Ryan, undoubtedly tne structure, wnn iw con ' tents. M ould have been laid in ruins. As - eited by Mr. Robert Totter, Mr. Ryan ex- tinfjuished the flames before any damage -was done. We shall ever hold them in crateful remembrance for this service. We are at a loss to account for the matter, i and have so far been unable to base the S ea3t suspicion upon any person who could findsthe heart to do us sPsorc an injury. ; That the fire wasepet is beyond a doubt, o rne IUach was applied to dry shavings and shingle?, beneath the porch on the . north side of the building, and the course of the wiftd was such as to fan the flames into quick and destructive heat.. The opening has been used as a repository for ivoo A few days before ChristsMs it was thoroughly cleared of all boards, and combustible materials, and only one wag on load of bark remained, to our knowl Ara, l.nt. we have &iee been informed that for two dav previous shavings and tihingles were seen there. This is as mys terious to us. as it is singular who coul have applied the match. When Mr. Ryan discovered the fire he was nearly at the extreme southern end of Main street and seeing the reflection upon the brick build ing of Messrs. J. II. Raton, and J. Myers A Bro., hastened to the spot, and was for tunately !n time to save a conflagration, as above stated. When we consider that Portland is overflowing with roughs, and that theiving operations are of every day occurrence there, we naturally enough conclude that this takes its fountain head in the same directig). and it is more than nossible that the " bovs,J have decided upon exteiling their works to Oregon City. It stands our people in hand to look out for them, and in consideration of the .service Mr. Ryan has been to us, as Night Watchman, we bespeak for him a better support than he has in past had giveu him. The City Council pay him but a nominal figure for these services, and such beiifg the case it would befell if citizens who have vital interests at stake, would contribute something monthly to the support of his office. We are entirely dependent upon his vigilance, to protect us, not only from nvmtiight Assassins and incendiarism, but trom the usual, or or- linaryeoccurreiices of fires, etc.. and he should be well paid for the duties he per forms.

Last spring, Mr. Cartwright bought and furnished to several fanners of Marion, Clackamas and other adjoining .counties, considerable quantities of flax need arid experiments ct-grojving flaxseed for fibre and sQ.-d were made at several localities and on various soils.

As regards fibre, the experiments pro duced very flattering results.

Rights of Pkopektt Dkcidki). The case of P. S. McGowan, plaintiff. v. W. S- Ladd. JosephTucker, Win. Strong and Robert I.

Chap man for plaintiff and Logan and Strong for defendants. Rags axd Bags. The Pacific brought a considerable number of bales of rags, cordage, $M sails, etc., for the Oregon Luy paper mills. SEBjXAi.j5.qn SllIDiav last the Oregon City Frass Band enlivened the City with piusic from fie Promenade, or High street. Wno Should Make Streets. At the last meeting of the city council, a petition was received, numerously signed by citi zens of Canemah, praying for an appropria tion of $50, to aid in the completion of the proposed plank walk, connecting this city with that. After some discussion, oji motion to' appropriate $20 the same was lost, and the petition was next indefinitely postponed. During the arguments, pro and con, several localities within the cor porate limits of the city, where work is sadly needed, were brought to view, as showing that there were plenty of places where money might be more justly ex pended, and that notwithstanding the walk proposed to Canemah should bebuilt, and would be a public benefit, the city proper had no authority to make an appropriation for such purpose from the public treasury. The question was asked by one, member, Who should make the streets," and was answered by another, that in his opinion the adjacent property should be made to pay the expenses of street improvement. The city of Portland was a long time with out passable avenues. ThereVas always a wrangle about the subject, and whenever an improvement was proposed, it was de feated, until the present charter was en acted. Now, when a street is to be im proved in that city there is no fuss made about it the cost of the work is assessed to the adjacent lots or blocks, and it is paid up promptly, and the property is so much enhanced in value. In this city there is much street work needed at pres ent, and it will continue to increase, and if personal property should be assessed, and taxes levied to pay for this work from the general fund, we opine that it would result in a similar way of deriving from among us that we most want : men whose business pursuits are such as to draw about them large amounts of personal property. The poll tax raised in Portland, is appro priated to the county roads, raid in this we think Oregon City might profit by fol lowing the example. Wehall never ask the citv to put its fingers' in the ereneral fund to pay for improving any real prop erty we might happen to be in possession or, no sooner than we would ask of them au appropriation to build a house, nor do we think unv one else should. The law needs an amendment, that the streets of OregoanCity may be improved at the ex- pease of those rightfully benefitted. Ordered Oie. A long obstructed al ley, through the block opposite the Court House, was recently ordered to be opened byvthe City Couucil. As suggested a few weeki ago, we are comparatively a stran ger in the place, and have vet to learn many thinars regarding matters in the city we have adopted as ouf future home. How that alley came to be obstructed in the first place, by the erection of a build ing tvp stones in height, and apparently pretty old, we have not taken pains to in quire, lhat it ought not to have been al lowed is pretty certain, to our candid rea soning, however, and that it should be opened, if theiitle yet rests with the city, is quite as sure. The practice of allowing streets and alleys.CJoads. etc., to be fenced up by private parties, in localities sparsely poputatedSgenerally tends to litigation, is fraught with mischief, and ought never to be entertained by the people's cuardians anywhcre-Q Another Flight. We have seen the plan for a second flight of steps, to lead up the iun, trom near the base of H?cond street. The plan looks well,, and the steps would undoubtedly be of "service, in that locality. Property "on the bluff is be ing rajiidly converted to use of tin; citizens and the more ways there are of ffottmor m the steep the better. We look to the time as being near at hand when some inventive genius will apply for the right to erect a steam appliance, which will serve to ele- vate the human kind, as well as the oods city. and chatties, to the upper story of the at a certain rate of toll. Water Works. At the last meeting of the City Council a proposition was submit ted, providing for the laying of street mains. the erection of voir with capa ify sufficient to sunrdy the city with water, for both private and pub lic neeessitiw. The proposition was refer red tfjPa committee, which now has the subject under consideration. It is earnestly hoped that some action mav be had for the furtherance of the project. This will 'be the case, most likely, if the articles of the proposal are not at variance with the city charter. Improving j. We re pleased ?-hram, who to state recently that Mr. John II. had is riht lower limb broken by a fall, is rapidly improving. He is able to walk about the city with the aid of crutches, but does not yet dare attemnt to do anv- thinjx in his lin.; of business. He has a"n exotiHent assortment of saddles and Inr- ness ready made, which customers can ob- I . . . tainupon calling at the shop, opposite the Extei:pi:ise olfice. Accident. Capt. Geo. A. Pease of this city met with a serious mirdiap at Salem, daring fp holidays. Just at the boat was landing a fire-cracker, thrown by iome in nocent youth, struck his right eye. and ex ploded inflicting a most painful and dangerous wound. He is yet scarcely able to attend to business, but was present at the meeting of Councilmcn on Monday evening, and filled his seat during most of the ession of the Board. Oregon Paper. We have at last par-cr of Gregen manufacture ! The wni-fcs ,r the company were started on Thursday, and turned out as good quality of wrap ping paper as can be made of the same material anywhere. 9)n Monday the works will be put into full operation, and in future people will not be required to send abroad for paper. Q Impromptu Meeting. A few days since, by chance some half dozen pioneers of Oregon met together at the store of Messrs. Charrnan Bros., in this city. There was W. W. Buck, Lloyd Brooke, S. W. Moss, J. G. Campbell, James Stephens, and Rob ert Newell, all old residenters, who are perfectly capable of telling as good jokes as any of the :4'J-ers of 'Frisco. Seen its Day. On Thursday the steamer Hlml, once a favorite but now super annuated, was brought up to the P. T.

D. .Miller, who has for years been employed in navigating the Willamette above this citv, has lately re ceived the appointment of Socretarv and Treasurer of the Paper Mill Company. Dextistet.

No. 10, Masonic Temple, Pest street entrance : Sax Francisco, Sept. C, 1S61. Da. Bourne: Last Winter 1 was nearly dead, by an at tack of inflammatory rheuma- tism. I suffered the most excruciating -pains for about five weeks, without any hopei of relief, whan a friend hearing of my illness, called to see me, and assured me that if I would stop 41 drugging and dosing" and go to you, that you would have me walking about the streets iu ttiree days. Sure enough, although I was utterly helpless, and con f eyed to your house in a carriage, and car ried into it by three stout men, and by them lifted into the bath, yet, on coming out of it, I largely assisted myself, doing much to- 5 wards dressing, and, without assistance, walked from the bath to the carriage. On5 the fourth day I discharged my carriage and walked, with a friend's aid, the entire dis tance to your house (nearly a mile) and home again, and so on until cured. I felt myself a well man. And .now I ain happy to do you this little service, of publicly cer tifying to the simple truth, leaving it to do its work among my friends and acquaint ances as may chance to see this. Your friend, q JOSEPU SPARROW. CONS UMP TION ! An Interesting Letter) Very few persons, even among physicians', would have been willing upon anyterras to have been in the condition of theMvriter of the following letter ou the 14th of February last. I will anticipate somewhat bis report of the facts by saying that on the 15th of August he made me a visit, " the very pic ture of good health." Time, which tries and proves all things, has sufficiently tested this case, and shown that neither relapse nor collapse have fallowed, the cure is perfect, and can be cited among the scores of similar cases tne result 01 my improveu moa 01 treating diseases without medicine. G. M. BOURNE, Water Cure Physician, No. 10, Masonic Temple, Pt street. Sacramento, April SO, Dr. G. M. Bourne Dear Sir : 1. is-Vitl Eleasure and satisfaction that 1 now let you now of my good health. Looking back upon what T have passed through, it seems as if I had been lifted from the grave, and I think it my duty to acknowledge to you and the world the benefit I derived froji water treatment as administered by youjn your celebrated baths. It was in August 1864, when disease developed itself with a severe cough. I then took medicines, getting worse with chill3, fevers, loss of strength, and was pronounced consumptive. This set me to thinkrng, and linally I determined to leave my business and go to the Sandwich Islands, having been informed that I could not be cured here. I went to San Francisco, and while waiting for a ship called upon Dr. Bourne, who stated that a trip to the Islands would probably result disastrously, was wholly unnecessary, as I could be speedily cured at hU establishment. I placed myself nnder his Treatment, and in one week waa so much improved I thought I could risk re turning home and do my duty as Engineer on the Central Pacific R'ailroad. The Doc tor objected, bat I thought I knew better, and returned to duty. In about two weeks my cough returned, and I kept getting worse, and contrary to Dr. Bourne's injunc tion never to take medicine again, committed that folly, and soon was so completely run down that I could scarcely walk; so, as a last resort, I concluded once more to try tha Water Cure. I went to San Francisco few of my friends expecting me to return; in fact 1 thought my rturn doubtful. On ar riving at Dr. Bourne's establishment (Feb. 14, lb65) I was net able to get into the bath without assistance, bat in a tew days I began to recover myself again. I remained with mm only six weeks, when I felt a "wiser and better man," without the aid of medi cine. I have row been at work several weeks, and find that I am gaining every day and at present bid fair to be stouter than ever bclore. Persons visiting the Doctor's establishment una it just wnat 11 snouio oe, both in the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Depart ments, and I cannot say too much in pnise of the Doctor's kind attentions to Lis pa tients. This letter I wnte for(Jhe benefit of all the afilicted, to be used as the Doctor decides, and should it be the means of directing any to his care and treatment who (as they as surcdlv will) find relief, I wiil be paid for my troubie. JAMES CAMPBELL, Engineer Central Pacific Railroad. San Francisco, Aug. 22, 1865. Adrised bv the undersigned, Mr. James Campbell, of the Central Pacific" Railroad, (who was then in a most deplorable state of ill health) placed himself under the care of Dr. Bourne, the Water Cure Physician. Snrr.e six months afterward he visited the city, when I accidentally met him at Dr. Rourne's establishment, and am bappy to say, restored 10 me enjoyment ot guuu health, and in fine spirits.

Dr. Bourne takes the liberty to publish tho above a3 many persons had prophesied his reiapse into his tryrmer condition, on return ing to his duties, of the writer of an Inter estiug Letter,'1 whose statements concerning; the cure cf a well defined case of consump tion have recently attracted so much attend tion ta the Water Cure, as improved upon aod practised by Dr. Bourne, This addi- tioual festfmony must prove satisfactory tt ail reasonable minds.
