Ad infallible Cure f-.r tbo Scab, perfectly harm less to slieep, and greatly improves the wool. It is also free irom any of those caustic properties found in many other compounds, which render the wool dry and barsb, and are detrimental, not enly to its growth and weight, but also to iia marketable value. It can be used with perfect safety at any season of the year, and has beef found in practice, in valuable for the following purposes: 1st. For curing scab, killing acari, ticks, and other parasites which infest the skin of sheep. ?J. For strengthening and adUing lustre to the W.K'l. 3d.

Somebody, either care lessly or through malicious intent, set fire to a large dead fir tree just across, the river from tbis city, in Benton county, on Monday. . As the tree was full of pitch it'burned rapidly, and the -fire soon reached tbe limbs which, burning off, fell to the ground and ignited the grass and ether com bustible matter in the immediate vicinity. : From this small beginning the fire spread and increased until it reached a line of fence on tbe farm of J. Quinn Thornton, Esq., which was soon in a lively blaze, ' . Up to this time the fire bad been unm -tested, Mrs. Thornton being absent at the time, and other parties who noticed the fire supposed it was intentional and was being attended to by those interested. A gentleman calling at the res idence of Mr. Thornton on business, about noon, seeing tbe danger, promptly gave the alarm. Mrs. Thornton also returned about this t:ne, and, with two or three of the neighbors who bad been got together, proceeded to the task of putting out the fire,, which they succeded eventually in doing, after working through the day and far into tbe night. The fire destroyed fire or six hundred yards of fence, besides killing a large number of fine fruit trees. . Had tbe fire remained un mo ted a short time longer, the entire orchard, barn, outhouses, and tbe neat dwelling, fencing and everything else combustible would have been destroyed. It would he a godsend if parties who are so careless in leaving fires where tbey can do somub damage, could be arrested and made to pay the full value of the damage' that they are thus instrumental in-causing. One or two exam ples would have a healthy influence in making tbem a little more, careful. Every season, in some portion cf the valley, this thing is beii.g re peated, causing great distress and large loss of property, J It is time that something was done to awaken the careless and impenitent to a senee of the danger they are running of getting them selves into a tight place by their confounded recklessness. !;....!,--;:; SorFi,BJta5T.-i-0ur supplement this week, fa addition to the proclamation of the President in reference to tbe conclusion of the Convention be tween this Government and tho Austro-Hungart-an Monarchy, will be found te contain an inter esting tale and other miscellany.

We learn that the wounds caused by' tbe bites of the brute are pretty severe, but are slowly healing up. : As Uxfoinueo Ruhor. The rumor that pre- vailed on the street last week, to the effect that the taking of tolls oa tbe Willamette Valley A Cas cade Mountain Wagon Road ceased with the new administration, and that the road was to be thrown open to free travel, is an error, without any foundation whatever. AVe learn from Mr. Hogg that the tolls taken will be applied to keeping tbe road in good repair, and if the amount taken at the gates should prove in excess of what is needed to keep tbe road in running order, tolls will be correspondingly lowered. It is the intention to make this as good a mountain road as any on tbe coast.' - " " ' Fkom Lapwai AeEScr. A letter from Sir. I. S. Waldrip, dated Lapwai Agency (I.

Rtcn Quartz. As rich a specimen of mineral bearing quartz as we hare seen was handed to us on Wednesday by Mr. Jack McQuade.s: The spec imen in our possession was taken from a ledge in the Sautiam country, discovered by Mr. McQuade the 21st of June last, and assays eighty per cent, lead. In each ton of tbe quarts there is said to be $40 silver and $7 of gold. In tho specimen before us there is plainly to , be seen with tbe naked eye small (pecks of gold. If capitalists could be induced to take hold of this ledge there seems to be not a particle of doubt but that it would pay : richly for ' working. The Santiam mines are bound to make fortunes for some of tbe adventurous ones yet. Parties who wish to ex amine rich quartz can do so be calling on us. - ' ' Lost Letter. A letter dated Mansfield, Ohio, February 22d, and signed Martha Latimer, has been handed us with the request that we notice the fact so that the: owner may call and get it. The envelope having boon taken from tbe letter leaves us in doubt as to who it is directed to ; we think, however, that it was originally directed to a party named Hanna. Enclosed in tbe letter is a Rembrandt of a handsome young lady. The owner of the letter can have it by calling at this offiee.-' --; ' ' ' ! ' - - ' - Tub DiAMoan Spectacles. By reference to our advertising columns this n orn'uig, it will he observed that the Titus Brothers have been ap pointed agents for the sale of those wonderful glasses in Linn county, where all who wish a su perior glass should go at once and secure a pair. Although they have been in receipt of the first invoice but a few days, they have sold several dozen,' parties, after trying on the "Diamond," throwing their old glasses aside, having no fur- ' tber use fur them. They ate positively the finest aud most serviceable artificial help to the human eye with which we. are acquainted, and they are offered very low. Kear-sigfated persons or thtoe with weak eyea should try a pair of these specta cles. Go to Titus Brothers and examine them.': Soda . Manufactory. Messrs.- A. Carothers A Co., Druggists of this city, during the season hsre bvi supplying the dealers of Salem with all tho soda they demanded, charging fountains, tent here by rail to be filled, two and three times per week. It seems that our boys get up a better drink in the soda line than can be- obtained in Portland. Of course this ain't no feather in our cap, nor nothing. , Coostt Fihascks.i We call attention to the full exhibit of the financial condition of the county to July 1st, 1871, as published, by order of the County Commissioners, on the first page of the Rbqistkb tbis morning.

J. Daniway and Hon. J. Quinn Thornton, respectively, were in all respects superior to the others, but that these two were so nearly equal that the Committee were unable to decide which was absolutely the better, and therefore recommend that Mrs. Duniway and the Judfe divido tho $300 between tbem.' This decision ha been acquiesced in by the pa tics, and we extend our congratulations to the lady and gentleman who have proved themselves up to the mark, not only upon this occasion, but upon all occasions where ability and grains wcro re quired.
