Tlie water to good to cure rheu matism, scalding chickens, etc. Health.-, It work quick and powerful on troublesome stock that wanders about camp. We made the trip with a team, In a little less than ten day. We had no trouble In finding the way from Eugene to tlie springs, as there to but the one way to go. There were mile and mile of the way that we could not find nor see the mad; but eople said It was a mad, and I think it was, for we oould see blsses on the trees along, and might have seen the road if. there had not been so much mud and water. We found settlers along the way, who gen entity had milk to sell; and we found plenty of Hue spring water. The chil dren could easily tell the milk from the w ater, for the milk tasted very strongly of some mountain weed and of money, while the water was pure aud free. We had our musical Instruments with lis, and the settlers along the way seemed to enjoy the racket we made In our practice st night. But anything for a change in a desolate place like that, I can not find language to ex press my gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Itooney for their many kindnesses to myself and the children. , M. L. White.

" The lust Sunday Ortgoiuan says Yesterday afternoon a man aud wife both German, the latter having a child In her arms, called at the olllce of Mrs. Dr. Charlton for the purpose of obtain lug some advice as to the Infant. Tt was a bright beautiful girl baby, 9 weeks old, that the mother carried care fully wrapped up. Looking at Its pret ty ami cheerful, face no one would sus pect that anything was the matter with it. And tills was true, so far as the general health was eoucerued, for there never was a more healthy Infant. But tluschild was sadly deformed, and the parents wanted to know 11, when she grew up, there could not be supplied some uieehauieal appliances which would enable her to w alk. Unfolding the clothing of the infant, the mother exposed Its form to Dr. Charlton, and showed that the child had been boru without legs aud with only one arm, there being no leA arm.
