It will be observed that more attention in being paid to our public institutions, to miscellaneous subjects mitl to tlu) illuntrntion of ourrout event. Thoso features admit of a higher standard of artistic excellence and nro of more general interest to tho public thnn thoHO which are con fined to buildingH, Htreot scene, etc. There is no inten tion to diHOontinue the latter, however, and our industries will le as freely illustrated and described as formerly. The January numWof The Weht Kiioiik develos-d such a demand for Portland literature, that the publish er has issuod a volume of the same size, entitled " Port land Illustrated," containing twenty-four pages of illus trations and description of the city and vicinity; also, a large colored plate of the High Behool. The cover is an elegaut ono, printed in three colors, aud is the tnost handsome in design and perfect in execution of anything ever seen in this city. This will lie sent to any address npon the receipt of twenty-five cents. Tho publisher lias in press an elegant volume entitled "Columbia River Illustrated," in which tho grand scenery of that noblo stream is presented in a aeries of views, all print ed in three colors. The cover will bo a handsome de sign in colors, and the whole will lo a beautiful souve nir such as evi-ry jierson who has traveled on the Col- unihia river will desire to posses. It will lie issued in about two week, and will be sent to any addrn ujxm trooeipt of fifty cent. Tiikiie has just been opened in South Kensington, London, England, one of the largest and most interesting exhibitions ever held, known as the " Colonial and In diim Exhibition," oompriHing extensive display of the arts, commerce, agriculture, industries, resources, llora and fauna of India and the numerous colonics of (I rent Hritain, such as Canada, New Mouth Wales, Victoria, Mouth Australia, Queensland, New Zealand, Fiji, etc. The lieni'llts flowing to the countries thus exhibiting their products, especially those which, like Canada, have millions of acres of fine agricultural land, which are of fered as a free gift to settlers, will lie immeaNiireable. The December number of Tub Went Wiiouk, in which the Dominion of Canada and the Canadian Paciile rail way were fully described and superbly illustrated, so pleased the Dominion govern nt that orders have Immmi received from Ottawa for a large special edition to lie sent to liondon for distribution at the exNisiliou. This gives Portland a footing in the cxxmition, an advantage not enjoyed by any other city in the I'nited Mtatcs, aud miiHt result in much benefit to this city, ami the entire Northwest as well. Kaiii.Y in March a call was issued by I. Allen Ma crum, Mam. 11 Irwin nnd (loo. W. Pittis-k for a meeting in Portland of Pcnnsylvaniaus. On the seventeenth of the mouth a Pennsylvania association was organized with the following ollicers: I. Allen Macrum, governor; P. 0. Kaalwick, first lieutenant governor; (loo. II. I limes, see ond lieutenant governor; Hon. Klwood F.vans, attorney general; Geo. W. Piltock, secretary of state; 1). Molis Cohen, state treasurer; Jiweph Mloan, seigeant at arms; (1. T. llrown, disrrkeeMr. Ilegiuning with thirly-one members, the society has growu to ninety-five and is still increasing. The membership extends over Oregon, Washington, Idaho and liritish Columbia. A trilling fee is charged mcmler to raise mnans to sustain the organization. The object of the association is briefly stated: "To strengthen friendship among former resi dent of tho Keystone state, and to furnish information to Pennsylvania)! intending to visit or settle in the Northwest; to entertain aud furnish information to those visiting tho country." A visitors' register has Imsui placed in the Istard of immigration rooms, nnd the mem lsirship register i in charge of tho secretary of stntn, to whom nil communication may be addressed, nt Port land, Oregon. The native sous of Oregon and Ohlonn have since formed societies, mid probably tho New York er, Iudianinn and other will fall iu line. Afu-r sev eral organization hnva formed, a "stiit hall " will bo establisheil a a free rending, soi'lal aud iueling room for tliose entitled to entrance. Tho former resiih'tiU of every sUite should form a similar organizntiou and aid in rendering this mova more Ixinnncial to tho Northwest. r
