Duffer writes to the Omgo niun, from Chicago, saying to the farmers of Oregon and Washington erritory that he feels safe in assur ing them that they will receive a fair compensation for all their sur plus hams, bacon and lard another year. There are several causes for this, among which may be men tioned the new arrangements of railroad tariff rates to Chicago. Under these new rates corn now brings forty-five to sixty ceuts per bushel, while under the old rates of tariff it commanded but from eleven to seventeen cents per bushel. This being the ease, the corn is being shipped to market, instead of being fed to hogs, used as fuel or left ly ing in the orib, The deticiancy in the pork market of Chicago np to June was 85,000 barrels. JThe deficiency in other markets is also great, therefore it is believed pork will be in such demand that it will pay to ship it from Oregon, Hermits are becoming common.

Altogether he is a most disgusting specimen. He eats parched corn and scraps of meat ; has three horses and sixteen head of cattle. He is a man of some education, and holds on to his log, his bark shanty, his dirty clothes, and his 160 acres of land, with the tenacity of a leech which has not tasted anything hut water for ten years Consumption Curable. - Dr. Win. Kock, of Berlin, well-known from his long investigations in the domain of modern surgery, and from his treatise on shot-gun frac tures, has discovered a new method of treatment for consumption. It consists in healing up the affected portions of the lungs by injections of iodine, so as to check the process of festering, which is the origin of the disease. The treatment has been tested in the great hospitals of Berlin within a short time, smong others at the Royal Charity, in the presence of the most eminent sur geons All the reports of the cases in which this, treatment has been administered are favorable, and hold out a promise of a complete cure. For many years t Dr. Koch has tried the experiment with animals, having tested it with more than i liree hundred, at a vast outlay of time and. money. Inhekitknce of Appetite for Alcohol. A striking instance of the kind has been recently brought to our knowledge. A lady, wife of the Mayor of an Atlantic city, was a confirmed inebriate, and in spite of the most assiduous efforts made by her husband and others to restrain her, continued to drink until her life tell a sacrifice to the indulgence. Her grandmothers were intemperate, and they both died of drunkennss. Several of her brothers were inebri ates. She had a child, a daughter; who exhibited in childhood a mark et! appetite for strong drink, and who drank to intoxication whenev er she had the opportunity. This child died at the age of six years. During her brief lite she was known to have been repeatedly druuk. ho inveterate was her appetite for li quor that she resorted to the most cunning tricks in order to procure it tricks such as would do credit to the ingenuity of an adult.
