Tin, Copper and Sheetiron "Ware ! Centaur Liniments. A '-Pleas ast TCxcthuon. The U. P. Sabbath School excursion of Saturday last proved a grand success. It had been post poned from the Saturday previous "on ac count of the weather;" but the little folks were so disappointed that it was at last re solved to go, "rain or shine." So, though a slight shower or two during the lorenoon seemed to say "don't go," yet at the ap pointed time. 12 M., a happy throng were at the depot, basket in h-l. nnd the two cars engaged for the occasion were filled to overflowing. The happy excursionists seemed to leave all their tears behind them, and enjoyed the ride and the pleasant scenery of the Santiam and Mill creek, with its bright fields of growing grain, and the State Capitol, and French Prairie, the garden of Marion county ; and after a ride ot an hour and a half, arrived at the place ot destination. Brooks Station. Flere they were met by the venerable Mr. Brooks, who conducted them to the pre t lest picnic g ove in Oregon. It Is nur the Station, beautifully shaded by a One grove of young oaksv the underbrush cleared out, with a speaker's stand, seats and tables, and a fine well of water. The stars and stripes iwere gallantly floating from a beautiful staff 110 feet in heighth. Mr. Brooks g;ive a short address ot welcome, v hicli was appropri ately responded to and then come the picnic dinner. The fine weather, the pleas ant ride, the fragrant grove with its grate ful shade, not to say anything of the dell citc viands, gave all an appetite, so that the dinner had no reason to complain that ample justice was notdone it. Then came some three hours of sport Bud play, running and jumping. b:ie ball and croquet, and all were ready with weary limbs to take their seats in the cars for the return. Be fore they left, Mr. Brooks and other friends gave them a salute from a twelve-pound gun, which waked the echoes of the valley till they rang again. As they left with song and cheer, all wished prosperity to Brooks Station, and still longer life to their venerable host who has already passed his three score and ten, and lived to celebrate his golden wedding. At half past eight, all arrived in safety at Albany, and with universal consent voted the excursion a grand success. COM. PEORIA ITE3L9. From the Black Hills. A private letter received by one of onr fricud3 from Dead woof City, Dakota, has been, placet! in our hands, from which we extract as follows : The letter is (feted May 7th. "I have been here a month ; during that time I have looked over the country pretty thor oughly, visiting nearly1 all the towns and mi'ies, both gulch and quartz mines, and my opinion is there are a tew good quartz deposits which- will pay very well when mills are plenty in the country. There are four ten-stamp mills and one or two arras tas rniinti g hero now,; and several more will probably be brought here this Sum mer. The mills all come from Chicago of Colorado, and are cheap affairs. There is no Western (that K Pacific coast) capital being invested here. Some of the gulch mines are very rich, paying as high as f 100 per day to the man ; but such claims are very scarce. The mining district which pays is very small, and the law alloW3 men to hold 300 feet each,- up and down the gulch, and the whole width, and thirty feet perpendicular up the side of the mountain ; so you see that a few men, who come early, gobbled np the whole country. There Is a population of about 30,000 in tho country now, and will be Increased this Summer to 100.000, when the resources of the country will not give employment to and support a population of more than 5.000. For the number of people here 1 consider this the poorest mining camp I ever saw. Miners under ground In the gulch claims gt t $5 to $3 per day (wet diggings); surface men get $4. paid in dirty gold dust at $20 per ounce, which the banks take, after much cleaning, at f!7 25 ; so you see the actual pay of miners is small for a new country, and not more than one Jtp lk-int out of a hundred get woik at these prices. Mechanics are not tn deinaud at all, even worse off than the miners. The climate is simply horrible, either rain or snow every day. nater and timber plenty. There are, of course, some rich mines here, but they are beyond reach, and not one man in a thou sand who conies here will get even on the expenses of the trip.; A great many who come here will push on to the Big Hoi n country, 350 miles west from here. Twill write occasionally during the Summer it I remain here." j ' PARACKAJILETS. Letter from a Postmaster. "Amiqch, III,., Dec. 1, 1874. "Messrs. J. B.

Mrs. Whitney has a sweet voice, which slie seems to have In perfect control. Miss Nettie Piper, also, stands at the front of the musical talent of the State, while Laura Tate and Annie Griffin are almost at the top round of the musical ladder. The Misses Cheadle gave "In the starlight" to the delight of the audience, which lustily encored. The Misses Grltra gave '"O, haste, crimson morn," in elegant style. Messrs. C. Haflenden and C.
