There, is published at-a place called Forest Grove, somewhere in the lower part of this State, a little 7x9 sheet yclept the Forest" Grove Monthly. x.This little, thing sustains about the satue rela tion to something down there known as the Pacific University, that Doctor Quack's almanac does to his pilla. It puffs its Pacific Nostrum its educational pill. It sees no place nir use for any other college in Oregon than that located in the Grove, and itis surprised that any one should be so obtuse as to be unable to see that the Pacific University is amply self-sufficient to meet all the wants of the present and future generations in Oregon. It would have but one college between Puget Sound and the Umpqua, and that a Lion, and the Pacific Univers ity can be. if it is not already a Lion. That institution is so unsectarian that it can take unto its motherly arms not only Congregationalists, but Methodists and Presbyterians ; and is so learned and rich that no other can hope to become its rival. If the Methodists were nut such unmitigated bigots they would at once close up their university and come with all their funds and students to Forest G rove ; but there is no hope of this. The little monthly, or its editor, is espec ially afScted to learn that the Presbyte rians of Oregon are moving in the estab lishment of a college at Albany. All that Presbyterians ought in reason to ask can be found in Forest Grove, and .they are earnestly urged to abandon the effort to endow the Albany college, and throw themselves into the loving embrace of this would be Alma Muter. Gentlemen of Forest Grove, keep cool, and submit to manifest destiny. The Lion college of Oregon will not be found in Forest Grove. The Methodists have already gained a position from which they cau snap their fingers and laugh at you. As to the Presbyterians, their past history in the cause of education is a sufficient guarantee that they will not be behind any other denomination, nor lose their identity in any other denomination in the educational interests of the coun try. The friends of the Albany college intend to place this institution upon as good a financial basis as any in the State. . Wc would suggest to the Monthly to exeicLsc the grace of modesty, and not give advice till it is asked. Still, it is your privilege to puff your nostrum so puff away. But remember the tate of the toad that tried to puff himself up to the dimensions of an ox. vm wb SmWIi "li res; appeal from County Circuit Cocrt Docket.

' Wheat ro& ' Liverpool. Tho' schooner Elwood bas completed her cargo of 20,000 bushels of wheat, and was to have early dispatch for Liverpool. Terrible Butchery. The! murder of Mrs. Woods, at Ilondoubt, N. Y.., by her husband, the present week, was a terrible butchery. Woods was a drunk ard, i He eot to his creditors and paid his bills Saturday afternoon, and then wrote intimating that he suspected his wife ,of infidelity. He was perfectly sober. Shortly after he entered the house, his wife was heard scieaming, and a neighbor went to the house, ; whom Woods admitted. Woods had struck his victim eleven times with a small hatchet four inches long, which was covered with hair, blood, brains and pieces of flesh. Woods then attempted to murder the neighbor, who fled j whereupon Woods cut his own throat from ear to ear, dying almost instantly. Mrs. Woods was es teemed as an upright, good wife. Gold" in Alaska. Recent news from Alaska give account of gold discoveries there which promise to be valuable.! The Kake Indians, a tribe holding the portion of country where the placer diggings were found, ordered the miners off, threatening to kill them if they remain ed. The party wish to return in the Spring with force sufficient to awe the savages into good behavior. It was thought $20 per day could be realized in the diggings. Alaska is said to be rich in copper, iron, coal, marble, and her forests are sufficient to build the com merce of the world. Her fisheries are also of immense value. Of course all Alaska wants is population to develop her resources. j i Work Commenced. The Portland Orcgoman gives an account of the spiking down of rails on the East Side Railroad on Tuesday. The first rail was laid on the ties and spiked down at ten o'clock A. M. A hundred and fifty feet of track was completed in short order and a truck car placed upon it, and the business of trundling out the rails commenced. There were no ceremonies, except firing a cannon during the track-laying, con nected with the affair; but the road was begun in a business-like way, with coats off and sleeves rolled up. As soon as -the turn-table is completed the work of track-laying will be commenced in earnest probably next week. . Union League Bribery. Says the Orcgoman of the 27th : " We expected the Democratic press would take Andy Johnson's defeat at heart. Therefore we were not at all dis appointed at finding in the Herald of yes terday some tristful exclamations on the subject. That paper had fondly hoped that the Ex-President would be sent among bis would-be-iuipeachers to ex pose their crimes against liberty, and check their depredations on the Consti tution.' But this hope has been blasted ' by Union League bribery and corrup tion. Alas for the integrity of the Democratic Legislature of Tennessee ! There are not more than half a dozen Re publicans in that body; yet Union League bribery ' has prevailed ! It's mournful to see how readily the sturdy Democracy sell tbeir dearest principles for 'Radical ' sold." Brownsville Correspondence Brownsville, Oct. 26, 1S6!. Every one exclaims, "what fine weath er !" and so it is. Everybody has lately been called out to put the roads in order for winter, and the work has been of a good, substantial character. Judging from the business airs that this place. is assuming during this fine weather, tiere ought to be no complaint of hard times, or nothing to do. ' Our Woolen Mill has not yet om menced business, but everything else seems to be moving lively. Our fine grist-mill is taxed to its ut most capacity to supply the demand for flour. The large sash and door factor j is doing a lively business. Shops ol ' all kinds are having all they can do. Pork dealers have commenced to ake in their usual supply. Several hundred hogs have already been packed away. Two families, from over the Pacific Railroad, have stopped here. One f imi ly has permanently located, purchased a neat dwelling, and are now erecting another, A contract to enclose, cover and jaint the extensive bridge across tho Calar. ooia at this place, was let to Mr. Wm. B: ird. Also, a contract was let to Messrs. Shanks & Matlock to erect, enc ose, cover and paint a bridge across the Cala pooia, seven miles east of th& place, at Finlay's Mill. Also, one of like dimen sions, one mile above, was let to Mr. Joseph Lame. More and better, anon. Tliansglvlng Proclamation by the rresiaeut. i. t,,1. . ; . , P esi- Struck it at Last. A pateut has recently been granted for a method of refreshing horses while in har ness, which consists in making the bit hoilow, and having perforations in it. A rubber tube extends from one side of the bit to the carriage, and by pressing a rubber bag which contains water, the driver is enabled to refresh his horse whenever he chooses .without stopping. For saddle horses the water bag is sus pended from the horse's neck, or to the pommel of the saddle. Religious Liberty. A . decree of Cortes was promulgated -on the 25th at Havana, Cuba, establishing unrestricted religious liberty. One clanse provides that no person shall be prevented from holding any office under the government by reason of his religious belief. It is thought probable that a Protestant church will be established soon in Ha vana. . Returning. Hon. J. N. Dolph, of the law. firm of Mitchell, Dolph ' & Smith, of Portland, and family, who have been sojourning in the East for some months, started for Oregon by the Pacific Railroad on Monday. ' Hadn't Lost any Lions. A couple of Nimrods came across a - full-grown California lion while bunting in Sierra county last week. One of them dropped his gun and was soon ensconsed in a tree. He hadn't lost any lion . Market. A brisk demand for wheat for export to Australia and other foreign countries is reported in San Francisco. There is also a better demand for super fine grades of flour, i : , , M'Cormick. Read 8. J. M'Cor mick's new advertisement in to-day's pa per.

Civil and religious liberty; are secured to every inhabitant of the hind, whose soil is trod by none but free lion. It becomes a people thus favored to niake acknowledgement to the Supreme Author Iroui whom such blessings flow, of their gratitude' and their dependence; to ren der praise and thanksgiving for the same, and devoutly to implore the continuance of God's mercies. - j Therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, Presi dent of the United States, do recommeod that Thursday, the 18th day of Novjem- ber next, be observed as a day of thanks giving and of praise, and of prayer to i Almighty God, the Creator aud the Ruler of the Universe.

We ask the attention of produce dealers and farmers to the new . competition from the East, which is takinga trade from them, which is usually called domestic and supposed to be a local monopoly else where. - In the statistics of the deliveries of Eastern merchandise at San Francisco, we find the following articles delivered in the city per railroad : cheese, butter, eggs, bacon, bams, lard, hops and horses. This is a warning to those engaged in Oregon shipments of products. We must ship in better order, or those Chicago fellows will set up a branch market right here in Portland 2 Comntereial. - j ; The.

The President of tbe company, upon being advised of the death of Mr. B ILLER, re sponded undor date of August 23d, that by virtue of Macbusetrs Laws and the provisions of tbe Policies of the company, tbe Policy was yet in full force, and the loss ($5,000) would be prompt ly paid less tbe amount of the unpaid premium and the interest thereon. Tbe New England Mutual I.lfe Insar ance Company of Boston is the only company on this coast governed by this Law, which con tinues all its Policies in force until every dollar paid by the asm red is absorbed in Insurance.
