Local .a.iivix.s
.. Foa Ocnoco and Crooked llivtu.
A company, consisting of Messrs. Jerry
Driggs, Win. Dngjrs, A. Gregg, George
Patterson, Abe Miller, J. Linsey Hill,
And one or two others, have made ar
rangements to start for Oclioco and the
headwaters of Crooked river, early next
week. Their ohject is two-fold, the first
being For health, and tee second for gold
they intend prospecting for the gold j
diggiugs generally known as the old
"Emigrant Discover-." Report has it
that a party of emigrants found fabulous
ly rich gold diggings somewhere in that
tection of country years ago, but before
the discovery could be made available,
were drivcu out by hostile Indians. We
hope these gentlemen may be eminently
successful in accomplishing both objocts
of their trip, and that they may return
with '"'dead loads" of chiekaiain. Go
for it.
Pleasure Seeking. Our citizens
are already talking of forming parties to
visit various poiuts of interest in easy
reach of this city during the coming
"heated term." Yaquina lay will be
visited by large numbers from this vici
nage the present season, to enjoy the in
vigorating breezes of old oceau and luxu
riate ou wild game, oysters, etc. A party
of gentlemen taik of leaving in a few
days ou a hunting and fising excursion
to the mountains. Several ladies and
gentlemen go to Knox's Uutte to-day, to
enjoy a picuic. The roads are splendid,
the weather just right, aud as business
is not overly rushing, now is the time to
enjoy, a jaunt into the rural districts.
G'lanir!
Another Invention. The model
of a newly invented rotary engine, made
entirely of steel, iu complete working
order, was forwarded to Washington on
Wednesday last, with the-application for
a patent, through Mcssr?. llusstll &
Elkins, of this city. Mr. J. C. -Moss-holder,
of Lebanon, a practical machinist,
is the inventor. The model was a beau
tiful piece of mechanism, and is decidedly
the "biggest thing" yet got up by Linn
county inveutive genius. Mr. M. thinks
his invention will prove to be the most
poweriui, ana ul ine same time simplest
and cheapest engine yet in use.
Red Wagon. A bran new two-story
red wagon drove into town Thursday
morning. It was a handsome vehicle,
and, as was patent to all the world, con
tained bottles of "Dr. J. W. Murray's im
proved Magic Oil," "Lung and Liver
Balsam," etc. The Doctor who held the
ribbons himself was on his way up the
valley, distributing his valuable medi
cines for the benefit of the afflicted, and
at the same time benetitiug his own
health. lie left with us samples of his
various compounds, enough to start a
young drug store. Many persons through
the valley, acquainted with the Doctor
and the value of his medicines, will hail
his presence among them with pleasure.
Editorial. Ciianoe. Last week's
Democrat contained the announcement
that H. M. Abbott had vacated the edito
rial chair of that paper. We are in
formed that C. 13. Bellinger, formerly
of the Salem Arena, will hereafter sling
ink for the Democrat. Abbott has our
congratulations on his escape from a
thankless, tread-mill life.
HoTELING. From the Oregonian we
learn that Messrs. Sewall & Sprenger, of
the Cosmopolitan, have associated them
selves with Major Cook, and bought the
furniture of the Western Hotel of Port
land. It is understood that Mr. Sewall
will retain charge of the Cosmopolitan,
while Messrs. Sprenger & Cook will man
age the Western. These gentleman have
made themselves popular as hotelists,
and the fomer good reputation of the
houses over which they now hold control
will be increased.
Services at the Court House.
Rev. I. D. Driver, agent of the American
Bible Society, will deliver a discouise at
the Court House in this city to-morrow
at 11 o'clock A. M. After the discourse,
a collection will be taken up for the ben
efit of the Bible Society. Mr. Driver is
one of the most eloquent divines on the
Pacific coast. No services will be held
in the other churches of our city at that
hour. ! : i

Meeting Monday Night. Hand
bills were issued calling a meeting at the
Court House on Monday night for the
purpose of ' taking the eeuse"of our
people on the subject of a public celebra
tion on the coming 4th of July. As the
hour approached, it was suggested that
the Engine House was a more convenient
place, aud quite likely to contain all who
would answer to the "call," and therefore
the meeting was held there. Afcer some
twenty or thirty persons had put in an
appearance at the Engine House, the
meeting was organized by the election of
Dave. Thompson, Esq., Chairman, aud
Coll. Van. Clevc, Secretary. It was
unanimously resolved by the meeting
that we will have a celebration on the
4th, and to that end a committee of
eleven, consisting of Messrs. Jas. Cowan,
John Brown, Richard Fox, S. E. Young,
A. N. Arnold, John Parker, John
Metzler, Mr. Upton, C. Van Cleve, Leo.
Fox and John Barrows, were appointed
as a Committee of Arrangements, to re
port at an adjourned meeting, to be held
at the Court House this (Saturday) even
ing. The question as to whether we
should have a picuic affair or an old-fash
ioned barbecue, was debated at some
length, but final action in the matter
was deferred until the meeting this even
ing. If our citizens wish to celebrate
the 4th in a becoming manner, let them
come out to the meeting to-night, and
thus give evidence of it by their presence
there. It wili be a good deal owing
the number at -the meeting to-uijlit
whether we celebrate or not. The day
on which to celebrate will also come up,
as the 4th happens on Sunday. Our
voice is for Saturday the 3d.
Personal. Judge Baber arrived in
our city the first of the week. At pres
ent he is in Portland, but will return in
a few days to take up his residence again
anions us. The Jude is as full of life
as ever.
Geo. R. Helm, Esq., has returned from
his trip north, and his friends will be
pleased to learn, with health much im
proved.
Mr. Ed. Turk left this city on Tues
day, bound for Canyon City, where he
proposes to remain some six months.
We are pleaded to see that Mr. West

From tho Toledo Commercial, April 22d, 1S69 :
"The Automatic Clothes-Washer." The new
method of washing clothes without labor as done
by the "Automatic Clothes AVasher aud Boiler,"
is attracting, as might naturally be supposed, a
good deal of attention. This remarkable machine
continues to show to astouished visitors, whose
numbers are daily increasing, bow simply and
easily a large days washing can be effectually ac
complished in comparatively short time by this
labor saviug in veutiou.
From tho Cleveland Paindeaier, March 12th,
1S69 : "The Automatic Clothes AVasher. Noth
ing in the way of a patent has for a long time
awakened such a general interest, as the above
named invention. AV ashing without labor by the
mere force of heat, is a step so important and new
that it naturally excites a great deal of inquiry.
The genuine merit, the cheapness and simplicity,
must make it an article of universal use.and those
seeking an investment cannot do better than to
look into it.

This is an entirely new plan, giving Insurers
the largest return ever made by any Company in
the same period.
The Company give credit when desired, of from
33 to 50 per cent, of premiums.
An illustration of the advantages of the credit
system as practiced by this Company, is the case
of 11. C. Coe, of Yonkers, who insured his life in
this Company for $5,000, in February, 1857, pay
ing the whole premium in cash, $118 : at the en a
of the first year it was impossible for him to raise
the amount of the premium then due, in cash.and
he came to the office prepared to surrender the
policy. Being told that he could give his note
for the premium, he did so. His death occurred
in less than seven months. His family are now
in the enjoyment of the amount insured. Had
he insured in an "all cash" Company, they would
have been left unprovided for.
This is, in itself, a complete refutation of the
absurd statement of "all cash" Companies, that
it is injurious for the insurer to have the power to
give a note under any circumstances.
