MESSKS. J. N. IlAKKIS & Co. Gents:
Aljout one year ago I took a cold, which
settled on my lungs. A violent cough was
the consequence, which increased in sever
ity. I expectorated large quantities of
phlegm and matter. During the last win
ter 1 became so much reduced that I was
con lined to my bed. The disease was at
tended with cold chills and night sweats.
A diarrhea set in. My friends thought I
was in the last st:iges of consumption. and
could not possibly get well. 1 was recom
mended to try
Allen's Elinor E2nlsam.
The formula was given to me, which in-
dueed me to give it a trial ; and I will only
add Unit my cough is entirely cured, mid I
am now aOle to attend to my business as
usual. 1. MEREDITH.
All afflicted wdth cough, or any throat or

Walking Stones. They lmre walk
ing stones in Australia, and as we are
informed, they have traveling stones
iu Nevada. Here is a description:
They are almost perfect! v round, the
majority of them as large as a walnut.
and of an ironv nature. When dis
tributed aliout tlie floor, table, or any
other level surface, within two or tliree
feet of each other, they Immediately
huddle up in a huncli. like a lot of eggs
in a nest. A single stone, removed to
a distance of three and a half feet, upon
being released, at once stalls on with
wonderful and somewhat comical
celerity, to join its fellows. Taken
away four or five feet it remained mo
tionless. They are found in a region
that, though comparatively level, is
nothing but barren rocks. Scattered
over tnis Dan-en region are nttie
Imsins from a few feet to a rod in
diameter, and it is hi the bottom of
these the rolling stones are found.
The cause of these stones rolling to
gether is doubtless to be found hi the

"We Concur." We prided our-
self on the fact that we were about
the only genuine friend that Andrew
. Jackson Thayer, one of the Judges of"
the Supreme Court of Oregon, had in
this section ; but the following kindly
notioe, clipped from our excellent.
Democratic contemporary, the Eugene
City Guard, convinces" us that he has at
least one other ardent admirer. The
notice referred to is headed " We Con
cur," and is as follows :
In common Avith many of our con
temporaries, we must express our pro
found regret at the defeat of Judge
Thayer's line mare, Snowflake, at tlie.
Albany Fair. The report that Mr.,
Klein lost all his store clothes on the

barrel, needs confirmation. But 'twas
eA'er thus.
Alas for Snowflake ! Alas for Judge t

the residence of Mr. George Simpson,
about four miles south of this city,
was entered during the absence of the
family, and about fifty dollars worth
of wearing apparel stolen said appa

a pair of pants. Entrance was ob

majority of our citizens, Mr. Simpson

doors and windows of his residence

In Cicero and Plato, and other such
writers, I meet with many things

certain warmth of emotion, but in
none of them do I find these words :
"Come unto me all ye tliat are heavv
