In short, commencing with only $450, and
barely friends to correspond with that sum
of money; - w:h' n" 'Miperabnhdance o(
"milk ami-water" friends in the distance,
ready to shout at our Bucerss or sneer at
onr failure; with the would-be "uristoera
cy," who know as much of original thought
and enterprise as a monkey, exerting their
mUkty iuilurncn against 'us; with hard
times and declining prices for our farmers'
product!, to work against, wo have, com
mercially, done well. But wu have done
more tlmn this. We have maintained cor
rect morals iu trndo aud the one price sys
tem; we have encounigr d home manufac
tures; our trndo with the Willamette
Woollen Manufacturing . Company during
the last year has been ubovc $3,000; our
exchange in Oregon leather, boots, Ac,
nearly $1,000, besides variety of trade iu
other ai tichs. Pecuniarily, the enterprise
has succeeded beyond tny most sanguine
expectations. It has just reached a point
where it can btyin to trado with some-degree
of case. With our whole stock iu use
it would do three times the trade mid
double the profits. .
The new plan of trade, not yet eulered
upon, of selling lo ull ul.ke, "with small
proOts and consequently greater sales to
the public, making a dividend to members
nt the end of the year iu proportion to
their purchases, would no doubt add great
ly to the j opularity of the " Union Store."
Vet, the present iiiilicniions are that it
must ceuse to exist. Whether this be my
fault or that of some otto else; whether It
arises from aVe-Iieily, ignorant selfishness
in me, or a few of the members, or from
inattention on the pnrt of members gener
ally, or all three taken together, every ooe
may exercise the American privilege of
thinking for himself. Upon one thing 1
can congratulate the friends of this entur-
tcrprisc, that it discontinues business, op
pressing uobody with heavy losses; that it
dies iu prosperity with the regrets of hun
dreds of good meu and womeu nttcuding
it. -. Unlike tbe usual departure of our un
successful mercantile houses, it leuves no
bitter curses from injured creditors aud se
curities. ...... 1
If it be a shame that our property be
sacrificed for half or less than half its
value by a forced sale, to the injury of men
who have acted tlieir part fuithlully, let
that shame rest where it belongs. The
active spirit in creating this trouble is very
well represented in the conduct of three of
our members. One, because 1 would not
pay him six dollurs and fifty cents per bar
rel for flour, when the Store was selliug for
six, because be could not get fifteen half
dollars without giving anything for them
denounced the institution, and has since
done all he could against it. Another be
came ofiended because I would not pay
him twenty dollars for lumber when the
Store had no need for it when lumber
could be bought for fifteen. Had I em
ployed biiu as clerk in the store, or carpen
ter, he no doubt would have contiuued
well satisfied; my reasons for doing neither
comer in tl.e south side of my warm heart.
llio errors of thoso hrothers who would
as soon train a dollar by reckless specula
tion er a jockey horse swap, as by n just
saving in trade, I will (orget as soon as
possible. Respectfully submitted.

TUe Silver Excitement. :
En. Ami's: The excitement ubout the
Molulla silver mines still keeps up.- I saw
some of the old heads of this (Clackamas)
uud Multnomub counties wending their way
thither. Among the number I noticed
Messrs. A. A. Durham and Walter Car
man of this county, and Messrs. Mitchell
and John Stephenson of Multnomub coun
ty, all of whom passed through Oregon
City on Monday of last week. Judge
Mitchell has some experience as u smelter
of lead. , He bus tested to some extent
the value of the silver ore from the Santi
am, though he is not fully satisfied, from
his imperfect means of ascertaining it, as
to what its full value is. Ho is satisfied,
however, that it will pay well. Other
parties hare informed me that the Satitiam
silver ore has yielded 53 per cent, and a
fraction over. There ore other valuable
minerals existing in tbe ore, a small per
cent, of platiua and gold. The conclusion
to which I have come respecting tbe San
tiam mines is, that if it will yield 53 per
cent, of silver, it will pay to EacriGce all
the rest of the minerals for the sake of the
silver. The different kiuds of metals re
quire different degrees of heat to smelt
them, so that by any means now at com
mand of tcstiug the value of these ores, all
trials are subject to great loss not only of
the silver itself, at tbe other more valuable
metals get more or less burut up. : Messrs.
Mitchell and company are endeavoring to
ascertain the relative value of the Molulla
mines as compared with thoso of the San

proof of this we give the following incident:
A minister traveling along tho road, met
a stranger driving a wagon, which was
pulled by four oxen. At bo approached,
he heard the driver say:
" Get up, Presbyterian!" " Gee, Camp

red n short time since, in this city, cays
the Cincinnati Press, which will doubtlcvs
prove as interesting to our renders as it

A' young nnd exceedingly interesting girl,
residing on Eighth street, whose unme we
suppress from motives of delicacy, and
whoso oniablc disposition, elegant manners
and placid beauty of soul, had endeared
her to nil who know her, was, a year or
two ago, compelled to discontinue her
stndicfl and leave school, In consequence
of a partial loss of eyesight that threatened
to become totul. Shu was entirely unable
to read, and, although she could see well
enough to enable her to wulk about, visit
her friends and entertain thrin when they '
culled upon her, threatened loss of sight
gavo her much annoy anco and n roused the
sympathies of all who been me acquainted
with tho facts.' A number of our most
skilful physicians wcro employed by tho
family, nnd she was even taken to somo of
our most noted oculists; but ell their learn'
ning, dexterity and management proved
unavail'nr. Her eyes looked healthy, were
beautifully pensive iu their expression, and
seemed deep as her soul was pure, but they '
were nevertheless to her almost wholly
useless.
Notwithstanding this rather 1 melan
choly physical defect, a young man who
hod long been devoted to her, offered hor
his hand in marriage. Sho demurred, and
through an excess of affection refjscd to
Ik stow it njion the man who had long
slnco won her heart, stating that she never
would consent to become a burden upon
the man she loved. For a long time he
persisted in bis suit, nnd ul length, through
bis praises and sighs, made her believe
that lifu with her, ev n if she were wholly
blind, were better than a paradise where
she was not. A month or two ago her
resolution was rescinded, end she became his
wifo, and, strango an it may seem, from
that duy her eyesight began to improve,
and she is now able to read the finest print
by gaslight, without pain ond without any
apparent optical injury. The case hns
caused considerable sensation among those
who ure conversant with tho circumstances.
Apart froiri its significance as a well ei
eKtablished ocular fact, it is a practical il
lustration of what has been clearly and
wittily suld, "That love is blind, but
Hymen is the oeulist who alone can open
bis eyes." ,i
