Rice has re r turned from spending the winter at Sil xerton. We are pleased to note that Mr Rice's health is completely restored. The success of the first trip of the Regulator Monday, when she returned with a lot of freight and passengers, stimulated the U. P. R.

It is an oil painting of apple blossoms sur rounding and partly covering a glass mirror, and is the work of Mrs. Loch ; head of this city. It may be justly con- . eidered a relic of the great fire, as it is one of the few things that Mr. Lochhead succeeded in saving from the flames, and it will well repay a visit to every lover ofthe beautiful in art. The Rod and Gun Club of Portland are securing an elegant case of Chinese pheasants, to be prepared by Capt. S. S. Douglass, as a testimonial to our former townsman, Judge O.'N.'Denny; who in troduced the birds into Oregon.

Mrs. Bemish is at present residing at the Columbia hotel This morning as the" crew of the Reg ulator were at breakfast and the engine was being warmed, up for the trip to the Cascades the "follower" bolts of the pis ton head broke off with a noise that the experienced earof Engineer Driscoll well understood. The damage was repaired with all possible speed and the boat was again carving the river by ten o'clock. Captain John Lewis received today a public document composed by that versatile and voluminous author Uncle Jerry Rusk which was found to contain an original and unique illustration of the famous Saddle Rock oyster in the form of complete shell measuring nearly six inches long and calculated to make the mouth of an epicure water. The captain thinks it baa been sent him as a tantalizing reminder of the good things he. was indulging in about two months ago, but it. will serve also to establish the captain's repntation for veracity which has been yery much under a cloud among those who have heard his tales of the big oysters he used to eat when back in Washington. It might serve the purpose of the few who are endeavoring to secure repre sentation for Oregon at the Columbia World's Fair in Chicago, to know that for the 1S76 exhibit in Philadelphia, Hon. A. J. Dufnr secured but about $7,000. Upon this he arranged an ex hibit which the commission appraised at between $15,000 and $16,000, and he secured for Oregon greater credits than an other state, with but one exception, beating California, Illinois, and all of them. As to compensation for all this, Oregon paid him the munificient sum of one dollar and twelve and a half cents per day, for one hundred days. He was employed for more than a year. But the people of Oregon remembered him with a superb gold watch, suitably en graved, and a fine ebony gold headed cane. These he has with him still, as a token of appreciation for a service which I brought millions to the state. From tlie Dally Chronicle, Wednesday.

The Regulator brought up a big lot of miscellaneous cargo from the Cascades yesterday, arriving at 9:30 p. in. The scene at the wharf was a lively one this morning. Nearly every merchant in The Dalles was represented in 'the freight. The completion oi the canal and loc ks at-the Cascades and a ship railway at The Dalles will be the beginning of a new era for Oregon.' It will be the end of the first round of railroad monopoly, and a sign giving notice of the first blood for the people. There is no Oregon real ization half so worthy of the prayers of the just as the completion of those locks and that railway. Klamath Star. Mr. Fen Batty has just received a letter from Gilliam; Minn., enquiring about the prospects for location in the Wapinitia country of eight families which intend to leave for Oregon this spring.

Now that a grade up Tygh Hill is an assured fact all this land will double in value during the present year.
