Wit jplniOT 19stei SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 18G8. - Statistics.--We find the following elever hints in the Mobile JTationalist. Statistics are all the fashion, and the fol lowing, furnished by a figurist, are very much so. They may be commended "to keep in the cool Out ot five hundred persons only five survive hng enough to mind their biui- Of every ten men in the street not more than one has brains enough to keep from standing gossiping directly in the middle f the sidewalk or crossing. e Out of every twelve women one dozen make themselves up to attract as rxnch attention as possible, and then pretend to be angry if they get it. y Out of one hundred persons about five score don't behave as well as they require other people to do. Out of the fifteen in a street nassprmr o railway car, about one will, in riding a mile, couduct himself all the way just as ho ought to do. Out of a large number of young people who have never seen anything of life or the world,, an equal number constantly refer to their experience. Out of eighty young women whose ex perience of life is confined to gossiping and flirting with, simpletons, like them selves, at parties, all except none are gen erally of the "opinion that they have seen an immense amount of humanity. Oat of several dozen people only a lim ited number will talk gossip of their friends, and then kindle up if they hear it has been talked ot themselves. There is only one drunkard to every seventy-four persons, but the liquor which the other seventy-three "chew up" daily would keep half a dozen of them drunk as peeps until the next morning. Out of one hundred persons six reach the age of sixty years, but of these, five generally behave so as to make their friends wish they hadn't. An Act to secure the location of the Lands donated by Congress to the State for an Agricultural College, and -to establish such College. Be it enacted by the Legislative - . Assembly of the State-of Oregon. Section 1. That J. F. Miller, J.,n. Douthit, and J. C. Avery, are hereby constituted a board ofcommissioners, with power, 1. To locate all the lands, to which th.13 state 'is entitled by act of congress for the purpose of establishing an agricultural college; and as soon as such locations are made, to report the same to the secretary of state ; . 2. To take into consideration the further organization and perfecting of a plan for the permanent establishment of such college, in accordance with the re quirements of the act of congress making such donation, and renort the same to the governor by the first day of August 1870; 3. To fill all vacancies in the college by appointment that may occur in any senatorial district under the provisions of this act. 1 , Sec. 2 That, until j other provisions aTe made, the Corvallis college is hereby designated and adopted as the agricul tural college, in which all students sent under the provisions of this act shall be instructed in all the aits, sciences, and other studies, in accordance with the re quirements of the act of congress making such donation. Sec.3.: Each, state senator i3 hereby authorized and empowered to select one student, not less than sixteen years of age, who shall be received by thk faculty of said college ana instructed Dy them in the manner provided in this act, for the space of two years, unless such student shall be discharged for misconduct; Pro vided however, That this act shall not be binding until the trustees of said college shall adopt a resolution, and file a certified copy thereof with -the secretary of state, assenting to, and agreeing on their part, rii t. this act. , . . ' ..Sxc. 4 . Upon the certificate of the president of the Corvallis college that any student so appointed is in attendance at school, it shall be the duty of the secre tary of state, at the middle of each quar ter, to draw his warrant upon the state treasurer in favor of the said college for the sum 01 9LI 5s& xor eacn student so attending and it shall be the duty of the of any funds in his hands not otherwise appropriated ; and a separate account of such funds shall be kept, designated the "agricultural college funds." Sec. 5. - All funds paid out in accord ance with the provisions of the foregoing sections, with interest thereon at ten 'per cent, per annum, shall be refunded to the state treasurer from the first interest that shall accrue from the proceeds of the sale of any lands located for said college. SeO. 6, The board of commissioners hereby created shall make all the reports required by law; and shall each receive a salary of five dollars per day for the num ber of days actually employed, to be paid 'upon the sworn statement of such com missioner. Whereas, it appears that unless an Atrrienltural college is provided by law at -this Bession f the legislature, the grant by congress -will be lost, therefore this act shall take effect from the the date of its passage, r , Approved October 27, A. i. 1868. : f I " j - - I ' ' 1 .... AGRICULTURAL. How to Fit Collars to Horses' Shouledrs. It is very important to have collars fit nicely and snugly to the shoulders of the horse. It enables him to work with a great deal more ease, and to apply a great deal mors strength. It prevents galling and wounding, the friction is avoided. Collars are so made, or shuM be so made, as to throw the chief weight or force on the lower part of tho shoulders. The horse can apply but little strength on the upper part, and for this reason breast collars are coming greatly into vogue ; as the strength is exerted on the lower part of the shoul ders. But wa started out to tell our readers how to make a new collar fit the shoulder of the horse. The collar should be purchased of the proper size. They are usually too large. If obtained the proper size, just before putting it on the first time, immerse it in water, letting it remain about a minute, and immediately put it on the horse, being careful to have the hame.s so adjusted at the top and bot tom as to fit tho shoulder, and then put the horse to work. The collar, by being wet, will adapt itself to the shoulder, and should dry on the horse. When taken off it should be left the same shape it oceupied on the horse, and ever after you will have a snuor fitting collar and no wounds. ' Salt for Cows. Some persons con tend that feeding salt to stock is not nec essary to their health and comfort, con sequently a useless' expense. This con clusion is in opposition to the opinions of many eminent dairymen and stock growers, and ignored by the cattle them selves when salt is supplied them es pecially during the season of green feed. Other animals, in the wild state, evince an appetite for salt, showing that it is a natural and not an acquired habit. It is believed that salting cattle occasionally during the summer months is beneficial to them, and we know it is grateful to their palates, by the regularity with which they will seek it at the stated places of feeding, and the avidity with which it is devoured. Small Fruits. One of our corres pondents writes us that his first trial in the fruit line, to relieve him from tho expense of bread and meat, was growing strawberries. He says he commenced with twenty square feet, ana increased-in two years to nearly one eighth ot an acre, set six kinds, mixed together, and' that the patch of ground furnished all the berries the family and chidren conld use, besides realizing from sales a sur plus of over seventy dollars a year. An other of his reliances was the sour cherry, and he practices heading Lis trees each year, takXng Tut small crossing limbs, and obtaining fruit in great abundance, and he says of larger and superior qual ity to that of his neighbors, who practice the let-alone method. Farmers are not' aware how much is wasted on their farms, that with little care and trouble might be made into val uable manure. Everything that can be decomposed, cither in process of time, with the assistance of the. elements, or by the aid of chemical agents, should be saved from the compost heap. Select some place in the barnyaed or adja cent lot where it will be convenient to access, and there gather your compost, adding from time to time such solvents as may be necessary. Here bring all the weeds, sods, briars, thistles, &c, that you are compelled to dig and cut up dur ing the summer, and add to these, from time to time, whatever you have of waste matirial, muck from the swamp, decayed fruits, potato vines, leaves, the deposit from the sink, &c, and at the close of the year you will be surprised at the size of your heap, and be able to see for your selves how much is really wasted on yoitr farms that might be turned to val uable account. L - "When to Dia Potatoes. The an swer to tho question, when to dig pota toes, says the Farmers' Chronicle, is when they are ripe, which will be when the tops are dead and dry. It says the sun should not shine on them after they are dry. It also reports the yield " of ,the Early Good, rich potatoes grown by its editor, at from 125 to 140 bushels per acre, notwithstanding the drouth.' Ne ehanocks, planted the same day and with the same kind of conditions, did not yield more than 30 or 40 bushels pet acre. Pork Pudding. One coffee cup full of finely chopped salt pork, one cup of water, add enough flour to mold it, roll thin, cut it so as to make two rolls, e team one hour and a quarter,and eat it with sauce the same as for apple dumplings. It you wish, spread with fruit before roll ing up. , - Pop Overs. One egg,, piece of bnt ter the size of a walnut, a little salt, one cup of milk, one of flour. Bake in small tins. ' " v '.-'-''.." To Fry Potatoes. -Take the skin off raw potatoes, slice and fry them, either in butter or thin batter. various items.

A! Belgian youth hanged himself be cause his lather spanked him. It cured the smart. i A man, telling about a wonderful par rot hanging in a cage from the window of a house which he often passed, said r "It cries 'stop thief !' so naturally that every time I hear it I always stop." A housemaid who was to catl a gentle man to dinner, found jhim engaged ic using a tooth-brush. "Well, is he com ing?"" asked the lady f of the house, as the servant returned, j "Yes, ma'am, di rectly," was the reply ; "he's just sharp ening his teeth." In the town of L i there was a shoemaker who at times officiated as preacher. He always wrote the notice himself, in order to save the expense of printing. Here is one of them : "There will be preaching in the pines this Sun day afternoon on the subject, 'All who do not believe will be damned at three o'clock.' " j "That is probably the oldest piece of furniture in America," said a collector of antique curiosities to a friend, pointing to a venerable locking table as he spoke. "How old is it ?" asked the fr:.cnd. "Nearly four hundred years." "Pshaw ! that is nothing. 1 have an Arabic table over two thousand years old." 'Indeed!" "Yes, the multiplication table !" Hallo, stranger, you appear to be trav eling, i Yes, I always travel when on a journey. I think I have seen you somewhere. Very likely, I've often been there.

A landsman once said to a sailor, "Where did your father die?" - i The sailor replied, "On the sea." "Where did your father die ?" "On the sea." " "Are yoa not afraid to follow the sea as your business, seeing it has proved so fatal to your ancestors ?" "Where did your father dia?" said the sailor. "In his bed." , "And where did your grandfather die?" "In his bed." - "Astonishing ! and are you not afraid to go to bed, a3 it has proved so fatal to your forefathers V A young thief, who was charged with picking pockets, demurreed to the indict ment, saving that he had never picked pockets, but had als&ays taken them just as they came. . i The question has been raised, whether the griet of a mulatto can be considered "j ellow pine."
