SATURDAY, JUNE 12, Jos. T. Hale haaf been appointed U. S. Marshal for Nebraska. A lady nicchauic at Springfield, Mas sachusetts, is manufacturing a new sew u machine of her own invention. , Wine and women are the curse of man. Men and wine are the curse of women. The fact is, we aro a cussed set all round. It is stated that thirt3'-five minutes is the difference between clock time at Sacramento and Promontory Point. It is estimated that the cotton crop of Missouri the present season will be worth more than S40,000,000. A report is current that a Cuban ex pedition, to consist of seven thousand men, is organizing in New York. Jas. II. Lucas, the richest man in St. Louis, Mo., was struck by paralysis on the 8th instant. Buchard, the regular Republican can didate, was elected to Congress on the 8th, to fill the seat made vacant by the resignation of Hon. E. H. Washburne. New York advices say that the grain and fruit prospects in that State are bet ter thanf for years previous fruit, espe cially, promising a large yield. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad was the first road started Sn America, and is acknowledged to be the best constructed and ablest managed road in the world. The population of the United States is distributed about in these figures west of the Missouri river, 4,000,000 j east of it, 37.000,000. Fare to New York, in the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steamers, has been reduced to S177 in first, and 8152 in second cabin coin. No official information has been receiv ed of the recognition of the Cuban insur ' gents, and the State Department does not consider it of much importance, if true. It is stated on unquestionable authori ty that Spain is having about thirty light draft gunboats built in this country for guarding the coast of Cuba. Mauna Loa, a dome-shaped, volcanic mountain on the island of Hawaii, con tains two lakes, side by side, one of fresh water and the other salt. Both are far above the level of the sea. From a dispatch we learn that Wm. Shakspeare (son of the old man) has been sentenced to three months imprisonment and hard labor, at Victoria, for enticing Bailors to desert. The commission to adjudicate the diffi culties between Spain and the South American States, will probably assemble at an early day, our Government actiDg as umpire. Two women got into a fight at Boise City, Idaho Territory, last week. The weapons used were buckets of water and stove wood. This little diversion cost them $65, which was paid: In one of his addresses at San Francis co George Francis Train said : "I know you don't like what I'm saying, but what do 1 care? . I can go to the "White House without the four or five paltry Totes of your little State V Dr. Day, who had been on. trial for several "days at Marshall, Michigan, on -charge of child murder by producing abortion, was found guilty on the 5th. To conclude the tragedy, he took mor phine a.nd died the next day. Advices from the neutral lands, Kan sas, state that on the 3d a party of 35 leaguers appeared at a point ten miles south of Fort Scott, on the line of the railroad, and drov away the laborers and pulled up the surveyor's stakes. We Yesterday sasr. three boys "playing horse," says the Carson (Ncv.) Appeal. A white boy and a little darkey were hitched up together, aid a China boy was holding the reins and driving them. What will tecome '.of our Constitutional rights if this thing is Buffered to continue? Cable telegrams continue to inform us that the London Times is still engaged in the discussion of the Alabama question, and is highly indignant at Sumner's speech. As the Times has long since -ceased to be the voice of the English nation, it doesn't make a partiele of dif ference to the world of freedom and progress what opinions are entertained by it. Its thunder terrifies nobody. Railroad. It is asserted positively j that rail for twenty-three miles of the j East Side road has been purchased, and that length of road will be finished by fall. Our California cotemporarics say that wcrk has been commenced on the California end of the Oregon road, and will be pushed with vigor. There really seems t- be a fair prospect of our having a first-c'jss railway through the Willam ette valley, probably within two years. Ben. Holliday is looked for soon at Port land from California, when he has prom ised to make Albany a visit. Wasuinoton Territory Election. The telegraph informs us of the elec tion of Mr. Garfielde as Delegate to Con gress from Washington Territory. His majorities will be from three to five hundred, according to Wednesday's tele grams. This victory is all the more glorious in the fact that Mr. Gaifielde met and overcome a powerful effort, made by Federal officeholders and mem bers of his own party, to secure his de feat. IIisvsuccess under all the adverse circumstances is no ordinary achievement, and stamps him at once as a nan of re markable force of character, indomitable energy and perseverance, who will repre sent the interests of Washington Terri tory in the halls of the National Legisla ture as they have not been presented for Dead. Hon. J. W. Perit Huntington, proprietor of the Salem Unionist and late Superintendent of Indian Affairs for this State, died in Salem on the evening of the 3d inst. He was in his 38th year, having been born July 5th, 1831. He left his native State, Connecticut, for Oregon in 1849, arriving here in the fall of that year. In 1857 he was married to Mary, daughter of Hon. Charles Ap plegate, who, with one son, survives him. In 1860 he was elected tn a seat in tho Lower House of the State Legislature, where he was distinguished for activity and sleepless energy. He received the appointment of Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Oregon in 1862, which he held until a few days previous to his death. Supplement. We issue a supple ment to our regular issue of to-day, which will be found to contain a pretty full history of the doings of the first session of the forty-first Congress, published in the Register by authority of the De partment of State. These acts and reso lutions of Congress as printed by us arc in a convenient shape for preservation, and being neatly printed, in good sized type, parties who wish to keep themselves posted as to the doings of our Solons at Washington, will find no difficulty in reading them. ' A Bio Poll, From the Panama Star we learn that the election lor Sena tors and Representatives, which trans pired in Panama on the 9th of May, resulted in the success of the Ministerial party. The immense number of 125 votes are said to have been polled, and these were principally of the military. The Grass Valley (Cal.) Union, a Democratic paper,referring to the miners' strike at that place, strongly hints that unless the miners come to terms Chinese should be employed in their place. It says the mines must be worked, if not by white men then by Chinese. A telegram from Santa Fe reports that the United States Depository was robbed of $300,000 on the 5th. J. L. Collins, the depositor, was found dead in his room shot through the heart. No clue to the perpetrators of the double crime. Markets. Wheat in New York quoted at $1 651 70 dull. San Fran cisco quotations are : Wheat $1' 40 1 65 for ordinary to choice. Flour Oregon brands extra at H 625 12. Oats-Quotable at $1 701 75. I -Nil Music. A big sing will transpire on the 4th at Portland. The choir will con sist of over one hundred voices, under the direction of the Philharmonic Socie ty- of that eitj. Six full brass bands are to "disburse" music, besides. A man named Wm. Laudon was found dead in his bed at the Briggs House, Chicago, on the morning of the 2d. His death was caused by his blowing out the gas instead of turning it off. Fourth at Portland. It is an nounced that the eccentric genius, Geo. Francis Train, will deliver the oration on the 4th of July for tfie Portlanders. He will attract a crowd, certainly. A New York miller compelled his son aged 14 years, to make the pelimina ry arrangements to his suicide, and then I deliberately killed himBelf. state: items. Says the Mountaineer of the 4th : , The Columbia river is gradually fall ing. We will not be troubled with high water this summer. Mr. D. F. Leonard of John Day Bridge was thrown from a horse about a week ago, and is still confined to his bed from the injuries received. He is slowly recovering and is is expected that he will be about in a few days. We are informed that Surveyor Gen eral Applegate has given D. P. Thomp son of Oregon City a contract to survey the land alone; John Day Valley for sixty or seventy miles. Being perfectly famil iar with that section of country, we can recommend John Day and Willow creek vallies as desirable locations, possessing superior advantages for those who would engage in agricultural pursuits. From Mr. C. N. Thorubury, of Camp Watsou, we received a small package of gold dust taken from the new mines lately discovered on Rock Creek, some four or five miles cast 'of Camp Watson. These mines are said to be extensive and rich. Eb. and Joe Pinkham have purchased from 31 r. Heury Greathouse, the stock, stages, rijrht of route, and mail contract between Idaho City and Boise City. The Salem Unionist of the 8th says : Hon. P. C. Sullivan will deliver the oration at the Dallas, Polk county, 4th of July celebration. The will of Paul Leller lately deceased, admitted to probate, gives the Orphan's Aid Society the sum of one hundred dol lars. A merchant of Salem laid a wager of ten dollars against two and a half, with a manufacturing friend, on the 7th inst., that he could outrun him a distance of three blocks from the Capital Hotel to the Congregational church. Merchant lost the race. The Portland Oregonian of the 8th says : The time required to make the over land trip from Portland to the States, has again been shortened. The stage will hereafter go through from Umatilla to the Pacific railroad in four days. Heretofore passengers were taken to salt Lake in six and a half days. . The time from Port land to Omaha, via Umatilla and Boise City, will therefore be only about six and a half days. The fare by this arange inent is also reduced. Fare from Port land to Indian 'Creek Station, Pacific Railroad, is now 8S0 coin, as against 8110 to Salt Lake City. From Indian Creek Station, fare to Omaha will be about 80 in currency. There are now positive assurances that a section of the East Side railroad is to be completed this year. Persons here connected with the enterprise are advised that twenty-three miles of rails have been purchased, to arrive in San Francisco in July and to reach Portland in August. No doubt ordere will soon be received to recommence work tn the route and pre pare the road-bed for the ties and rails. The ties and a large part of the timbers for trestles and bridges for the first sec tion of the road have been ready for some time, and .there is now little reason to doubt that by the close of the year the road will be in running order as far as Aurora. This will give it a good start for next year, so that by the end of 1870 it may be finished to the head ot the valley. The advantage which will enure "to the State from the renewal of railroad work and from the activity which will thus be infused into our industry cannot be over estimated. It will come most opportune ly for our interests and put new life and vigor into every department of business. It opens up a better prospect for the State than anything else could give, and all our people have reason to rejoice over the assurance that the work is going on. Says the Unionist: We learn from the committee on finance that unless they suc ceed better within a few days than what they have done, it will be impossible to have a celebration here of such propor tion? as was first designed. The commit tee have thus far raised only about $550. It will at least require $1,000. Our bus iness men, of . course, know their own affairs best, but it does seem that we should have a; celebration of no mean proportions. Passengers are now delayed at Prom ontory Point from . twelve to twenty hours, owing to the fact that the Union Pacific and Central cannot agree on the question of time. It is a most serious in convenience to the traveling public. Mr. Joe Samuel, a Huntsville, Mo., dry goods clerk, while in a state of som nambulism, walked out of a second-story window, fell ten feet, striking his face on a barrel and receiving a fearful gash, and, next morning was standing by the wall asleep, the fall and injuries having failed to awaken him. ' ' A Fizzle. The meeting called for last Saturday night, to arrange prelimi naries for a celebration of the 4 th of July, was a fizzle. An anti-butter league, to continue until butter comes down in price, is threatened in Philadelphia. Butter now sells at 75o and $1 per pound in that city. - 1 The crops in the Valley are suffeiing much from the dry spell we are ' having, and rain must come soon to insure even half a crop. Some fields of wheat are al ready heading out on straw 8 inches or a foot high. The fruit crop looks well and will be a success. The country has been Jilled with a dense smoke for several days past. Walla Walla Union. : Telegraphic Summary. i Dispatches from Western Kansas soy a courier from Adjutant General Mor phuse, who left Fort Saline with scouts on Friday, 4th instant, reached Ellsworth on Saturday, for help to take care of the wounded. The few Swedes left in that region; are preparing to depart. The mail party due at Fort Learned on the 2d inst. has not been heard from, and it is supposed they have been captured. Guards have been sent to the different stations on the railroad to protect life and property. Bands ot Indians were discov ered crossing the railroad going north and south. A surveying party was at tacked on the Solomon a few days since. They came into Hayes City on Saturday, being unable to do anything on account of the Indians. - At Albany (N. Y.). on the 7th, the Committee on Credentials of the National Typographical Convention, in session in that city, presented a report calling at tention to the large number of proxy representatives, and recommending their rejection ; also recommending tho admis sion to seats ladies representing the Women's Typographical Union of New port. Report accepted. Arrangements have been made by Governor Evans for the early completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad. Gen. D. Hastings, Secretary of the Hartford Trust Co., has embezzled over $20,000 of the Toland Connecticut Bank while cashier of that institution. His father made good the deficit. A larue excursion party of Eastern railroad men, representing several of the principal roads connecting New York and Chicago, were in Leavenworth on the 7th. The visit is in connection with making. a diiect line from New York via the Lake Shore, Michigan Southern and Rock Island railroads to Leavenworth, and hence to the Kausas and Pacific at Topeka. Turned Over. It is now reported ascertain that the Indian Superintendeo cies and agencies on this coast, have been turned over to the military authorities, and officers appointed to the different po sitions. A letter received by a gentle man in this city, gives the names of the officers assigned to the Superintenden ces of Oregon and Washington. This information has also been received at the Headquarters of this Military Depart ment. Unionist. ALBANY RKTAlLflwAKKET. Albany, June 12, 1869.

Read what he says : Portland, May 21, 1869. I have tried Dr. J. V. Murray's Lung and Liver Balsaci. I used it in my family with the best of success. I was sick for some months and used every remedy. I called in several physi cians, but they did me no good. I exhausted every remedy known to the medical profession, and received no benefit. This Lung and Liver Balsam cured me, and I do not hesitate to recom mend it to the public as a good and safe remedy to the public and my friends. It is good, and those wbo know me, as many do in this State, as I have lived in man parts of it, know that I would not recommend them to use a thing that had no merit, because I am opposed to quack remedies.

Farmers Can Ride and Plow, BY SECURING ONE OP THE "GAT" PLOWS, Manufactured and sold for the very low price of $05 and $7S. j o THE simplicity and practicability of this new Plow commends it favorably to the special notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided superiority over all other plows now in use. The wheels aro four feet in diameter, and run on the unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is managed in every manner with ease, and requires only two levers to be used in making any alteration. The supe riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown by the following certificate : ' We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county, Oregon, having ' purchased and used upon our farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the same has given us entire satisfaction. Its-facility for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong and durable, all except the wood-work being con structed of wrought iron no castings are used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage over other gang-plows, in striking: off land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat ia always level, not throwing the driver forward or sideways as in other plows. Better work and more of it can be accomplished by the use of this Plow than by hand. We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat" Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no superior in Oregon. J. G.
