A rnonrHoU8 Brctiow. County
Purveyor Meaorve returned Monday
from the Lower Nohalem country,
where he has beeu most of tbe time
for the past five weeks, engaged in
surveying for different partiea. Mr.
Meserve tbiuka (he section of country
tributary to Mist and Fishhawk is tbe
most prosperous part of Columbia
county, and ez pressed great surprise
at me development going on In that
low I i ty. "The fa rmera," he aaya, "are
striving to make themselves indepond
rnl, and are succeeding in a very sat-
ihfai lory manner." We do not under
stand that tbe Lower Nelmloiu la any
better than many other part of the
county, but the prosperity down there
must fce mainly due to contentment
among the peoplo. I'orliapa there
have not been any populist agitators
down there to preach calamity among
a prosperous and contented people.
Not Cahninq. Horsr Mbat It la a
mistake that the factory at Linnton ia
canning horse meat, aa ia generally
supposed, aaya Ihe Times-Mountaineer.
Not one can has so far been put on
the market at this place, and the horses
have been butchered, and tbe bides
anved and the meat cooked, dried and
ground up and turned into fertilising
material. The company has now 8000
pounds of the moat in plcklo, which
will be sent lo Germany and Franco.
About 4000 or 6000 of (he SwiUler
baud the company has purchased at a
cost of $2D0 a head, and have received
aovernl hundred of thia lot. The ca
pacity of the worka ia about 55 head a
day, 45 horses and 10 colts. After the
aninml ia killed it ia denuded of its
hide by pulling it off. The hide la
started in plnoea and then jerked off
by winding machine. This is tanned
into leather and used in the manufac
ture of boots and shoes. The olTul is
fed to hogs and thia furnishes good
feed. Anyone desirous of purchasing
an animal may take his choice for 1 10,
but our informant says there ia none
be can son that ia worth thia amount.
Two ExAMrLRa.-.From a report of
the teachers' institute, by tbe Repub

the following is taken : "Superintend
out Irwin addressed the teachers and
friends of education on the subject of

recommended from a practical stand
point that the boys should have a part
in obtaining tho means for getting an
education. This aame thought was
contained by President Chapman, of
the State University, wbo said he bad
started to school with $!0 which he
bad earned by teaching a two months'
term of school, and so detor mined was
he to obtain an eduoation that he did
not so much notico the poverty
through which he bad to go in order
to obtain his education, and which
was imver regretted. lie Is now the
