IlEI-P THOSE WHO THY TO HELP THEM
SELVES. Mrs. Day is prepared to Uo all
kinds of plain sewing, and as she has only
her labor to depend upon lor a livelihood
and for the support of her children, she
asks the kind people of this city who may
have work which they wish done to give
her a trial. This is a case which 6hould
interest all our benevolent disposed citizens.
Let any who have work of thi3 kind which
they wish done take it to Mrs. Day.
TnE Richmond Range. The Richmond
rfintro is Kins among cooking stoves, and
- rv o ' . .
no mistake. It is the most complete, best
furnished, economical stove in the world,
certainly. Every one who gets one of
these stoves likes it, aud speaks well ot it.
It economises fuel, is a splendid baker,
and looks well in kitchen or parlor. Call
in at W. II. McFarland'a and secure a
Richmond Range, and you'll nevsr regret
it.
TnERE is no Excuse for anyone suffer
ing with a sore throat, slight or severe
cough, or a husky voice, for by inhaling
Pond's Extract it soothes and relieves the
burnin; irritation, thus allaying the cough
and hoarseness, while the entire pulmonary
organs are strengthened and invigorated.
The non-professional patient will only need
to make a trial to perceive its good effect.
For Sale Cheap. At his shop on Ferry
street, Mr. Sam'l Miller has a twelve pas
senger coach for sale, almost new will be
sold at a bargain. Also a splendid end and
side spring hack, with elegant top, etc.,
new, lor sale at cost. Here's an oprortu
nity for somebody to get bargains. 24-9
A range that meets every requirement
and satisfies every demand made upon it
he Richmond Range. It has no equal
among stoves or ranges. The only place
to get one is at W. II
to the Bauk.

A FEW . FACtS ABOUT OBEGOX.
Here are a few tacts about Oregon that
will be of interest to those seeking informa
tion. Wre are receiving letters asking
questions with regard to price of land,
quality ot sou, population, etc., etc., ques-'
tions which we have answered time and
again, which we would willingly answer
again and again, but it would take all our
time, besides being quite a tax fn other
ways. Vf e propose doing what we can'
through the Kegister in answering letters
of inquiry, and will send the Register t
such inquirers just as Ions' s we caa afford
it.
At the Centennial Exhibition Oregon
was distinguished by more awards for the
excellency and variety of her products,'
comparatively, than any other State.
Oregon oners great attractions to those
in serch of new homes, to-wit:
Healthy and attractive diversity ot sur
face. Grand scenery.
Mild climate. No excessive cold or op
pressive heat. Average temperature in
summer 67 degrees; winter, 30 degrees.
Thunderstorms very rare, and hurricanes
unknown.
Death-rate lower in Oregon than in any
other State, East or West.
Soil of unsurpassed fertility, especially
suited to cereals, frnits, flax, hops, and hay.
Xo failure of crops in Oregon for thirty
vonra fr nriv ejinsp. "!Co clroncrht. as in
California. Great abundance of the finest
of fruits. Stock-raising very profitable.
As a farming country Oregon is not sur
passed by any part of the Union.
Annual exports from Oregon represent
an average cf three hundred dollars, gold,"
to every voter. ,
Variety of timber in Oregon of excep
tional excellence for industrial purposes.
Oregon has great mineral resources, es
pecially in coal, iron, lead, gold and silver.
Fine natural water system, vast water
power. Oregon waters abound with fish.
Good market iu Oregon for agricultural
products, owing to short transportation to
the Pacific Ocean, and direct exportation
to all parts of the world. Eailroad facili
ties. Navigable rivers, including the great
Columbia.
Oregon has every advantage enjoyed in
civilized countries. Liberal laws. Good
schools. Moderate taxes. Only nominal
State debt.
Eighteen thousand persons emigrated in
187C from the Eastern aud Western States
to Oregon.
Most expeditious route to Oregon is by
rail to San Francisco, California, and
thence to Portland, Oregon, by the direct
steamer line, sailing every Saturday morn
ing. Pamphlets, with maps and lull descrip -
tiou of Oresron. and all needed advice and
assistance, may be had, free ot charge,
also certificates for reduced rates from San
Francisco to Portland, and on all the rail
roads in Oregon, on application to the

From m Fliyslcirtn.
Hyde Park, Vt Feb. 7 1870.
Messrs. Seth. Fowle & Sons, Boston.
Gents You may perhaps remember that
I wrote you several weeks ago in regard to
the use of the Peruvian Syrup for my wife,
who was suffering from general debility,
the sequence of Typhoid Dysentery. 1 had
tried the most noted physicians in this
State, and also in Canada, without relief.
At your recommendation she commenced
the use of the syrup, the first four bottles
made but little impression, but while tak
ing the fifth 6he began to improve rapidly,
and now, after using six of the dollar bot
tles, slie has regained her strength, and is
able to do most of the work about the house;
and I feel that I cannot speak too highly iu
praise of the Peruvian Syrup. I have pre
scribed it to several cf my patients, and
nave procured tne sale ot several or It here.
You can make any use of this letter you see
fit. Yours very truly, II. D. Belden, M. D.

What is a Cough ? The lungs or bronchial
tubes have been attacked by a cold ; nature
sounds an alarm-bell, telling where the dis

during the last half ot a century, thousands
upon rtionsaiuisrtr persons. As long as you
cough, there is danger. 10$ the cough is a

Dave Morgan did not get away last week
for the mines as he expected, but made it
the first of the preseut week, and is now
doubtless far on his way to silver springs.
We hope Dave may meet with the best of
fortune.

Reader hast thou read the poem
Of "The Bells?" , . . .
Ah ! To those of us wh know 'enl
How there dwella . "
In the stanzas such a beauty
That it seems a very duty,
When oh6 tells i
Of their mellow, golden chiming,"
To remembei: in his rhyming
All the art of pantomiming
. . Of the "swells;"
Of the pealing, grand crescendos,
And the faint diminuendos
Of the bells.
Objects put to noble uses
Suffer also grave abuses ;
And the bells . - '
Change to most discordant rattle .
When attached to wandering cattle 2"
How I wish them in Seattle,
Wrhere there dwells . ,
O'er each yard of earth that's vernal
Clanking, clashing din infernal ;
And the jangle in eternal
Chorus swells . j
Till you wish each cow rang her knelf
With the bells
'Jfeath my window, fastened nightly,
In a little lot, fenced tightly,
Some one's bovine trips it lightly
With her bells.
Every step the beast is taking
Angrily the bells are shaking. .
My "few hours of slumber breaking;
Which compels
Me to say : A change of pastur'
Will be healthy for her master,
Or forthwith he'll hear the last o'
Cow aud bells.

' HYMN.
As shadows cast, by cloud and sun,"
Flit o'er the summer grass.
So in Thy sight, Almighty One,
Earth's generations pass.
And while the years, an endless host,
Come pressing swiftly bni i .
The brightest names that earth caa boasf
Just glisten and are gone.' j .
Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed!
A lustre pure and sweet t
And still it leads, as once it led,
To the Messiah's feet.
O Father! may that holy Star
Grow every year more brighty
And send its glorious beams afar,
To fill the world with light."
