Mixed (arming is getting a good start this year, and it will pay better. Blackleg is reported to be ravaging lin stock in Drew's valley. The Washington territory insane asylum contains at present 130 inmates 110 men and 29 women. Postoffices have recently been established at Olene, Klamath county, and at Croston. in Marion county. Oliver C. ApplegEte is postmaster of the former, and Benjamin V. Hall of the latter Harry Dickenson, a b.y about twelve years of age, was sent to the county j..il from Albina recently for iie days for writing indecent words on the wails of a schoDl house, fences, etc. Oregon .Swamp Land claims have been denied ami a new examination of about 50,000 acres ordered. Some of the fellows who have been speculating in them are liable to get cinched yet. Under the present law s a man can secure from the government ltitt acres by pre-emp-ion, KiO acres uuder the homestead, and 1 00 under the timber culture law, making 480 acres in all. A bill has been introduced into Congress, repealing all but the home stead law and amending that. Lake county is altogether too distressing ly healthy a part of the world for doctors. There are nly three doctors located in the county, and the probabilities are good they will have to ;o into some other business in Order to get rich. Kxaminer. Mr. Vanderbilt very recklessly denies the story that he carries life insurance to the amount of G'20.000, and, in fact, says lie has none at all. In some things William is shrewd, but we must s iy he has acted very foolishly about this matter, Every life in surance agent m NeiV York will be after him now, and he will hive to insure or die. The festive coachman ag'in appears upon the matrimonial stage. This time he is a youthful specimen, barely nineteen years of age, while his bride is seventy-four and very rich. Tlie marriage too:i place in St. Roches church, Ontario, Tuesday. An exodus of youthful coachmen to Canada is now ex pected. The potato crop of last season, says a Portland exchange, bids fair to prove more remun-ralive than wheat. Large quan tities of potatoes are being shipped to Cali fornia, 8,00() to 10,000 sacks going down on each steamer. About 2,000 sacks are brought into town daily by farmers, who receive half a cent a pound for them, which puts tl.i per day into circulation. The improvement of Snake river by the government, has been Continued during the present winter. The steady prosecution of the work for sever..: years lias greatly im proved the river, l. ore especially at Pine Tree, Texas, Pa. use rapids, wnich were formerly impassable at a low stage of water, and now bo-its can reach Riparia, Idaho, as early as they formerly could Lewiston from the latter place. Articles incorporating the Domestic and Fat Stock show Aere Hied in the otliee of i the county cJert-m Multnomah county on I last Friday. The incorporators are A. H. Johnson, T. H. Tongue, J. T Apperson, j Van B. Delashmutt, and WfA. M. Ladd. j Tm busines sin which the .corporation pro- I pose to engage is to tvdd an exhibition of domestic animals, poultry, and fat stocK, and to pay premiums for merit of the same. Farmers are getting to stall-feeding stock for market. H. L. Rudd, Ksq., has over a hundrecUeheep and a car load of fine steers lip. which-ne will have as fat as butter in April. Others also are starting in on it. One farmer near Halsej has 200 mutton sheep feeding for the Portland market. With a good shed and wa'er handy very liht expense is attached to stall feeding this season in consequence of the low prices, for grain and feed. " The snow blockade which occurred early in December is joa beginning to tind its way into Eastern papers, which devote con siderable space to it and characterize it as fthe longest and worst over expenieneed in the United States. It will require con siderable time and patience to make people in the Eait understand this blockade was the first ever experienced in Oregon, and that the railroads were not prepared to cope with something never dreamed of in their philosophy. It will also be a difficult mat ter to convince the people that Oregon is not subject to such storms, and that while other sections of the country are now inthe midst of winter, this State is enjoying mild and spring-like weather. Every journal in the State can set this matter right, and as all have the interests of the State at heart, there is no doubt but they will let their light shine on thi3 Oregon mist. 1 Arrangements are in progress for selling the water power at Spokane Kalis to Eastern capitalists. There will he a large steam sawmill built in Duckworth, Lane county, next spring, by capitalists from the Cmpqua. I he Los Angeles fruit growers are making extraordinary efforts to beat the Florida people in the fruit display at New Orleans e pec ally in the way of fine orange and cit rus fruit. At Seattle, on Jan. 14th, William Lenard died, aged 100 years and three months. At the time of his death he was, perhaps, the oldest man on the coast. A rancher in Modoc county named Colin Anderson, while going home through the sage brush with a lighted lantern, was fid lowed by rabbits, attracted. by the light. The Modoc Independent asserts that the rabbits were so fascinated by the light that Mr. Anderson was enabled to catch some of ciiem by the ears anil cany them home. The Yakima country must be destitute of Temparane Department. EDITED BY THE W. C. T. U. "In Reading what siall we Avoid?" The following article was prepared and read before the Y. W. C. T. U. bi one of the young ladies, upon this topic The press like many other good things has been subsidized by the devil. One tells you to read poetry, and thun there are p ets (as Byron and Swiuehuue) whom you should not read; and Burns, -for part of whose works you will be better, for part woise. Some novels a:e our teachers, some our de stroyers. History is commended to you; ami some histories are written in the in terests of superstition, infidelity or vice. What shall wo do? Let us have some rules for our guidance that we may not gather poison. To begin then never read that Which instead of adding to, takes from our in mtal or spiritual strength. Do not let your reading be a succession of examples in fruit-, judging from the quotations published ; subtraction but in addition to our inner in the local papers. Dried apple3 are se'l- j ljfe. Never read a book that robs you of ins at sixteen cents per pound, while i vmr earnestness nor that hto-h nuKis nf peaches and plums are quoted at from twenty-three to twenty-five cents. This is fifty per cent, higher than Portland. The dairy pi oduce dealers in San Fran cisco claim to have the best organized and most systematic exchanges in the country. This exchange has done much toward the establishment of iarge creameries and dairy 'arms in California, and has aided in pro euro g a ready and remunerative market for the produ ;t. reverence without which there can be no truly elevated character. Never read what you are ashamed to be seen reading, the in stinct to hide is your heart's own condem nation. Keep your eyes open to danger. Do not read from curiosity what good peo ple have condemned; the world is wide and we cannot investigate everything, and last ly do not read everything you see in an insane desire to be called a great reader, be rather a thorough reader. Buskin has e running between Grant's Pass i slid, "I know many perrons who have the and kVilderville was capsized on Wednes day o last week while crossing Applegate creek, and the driver, a Mr. Jones, Mrs. Mary JilLon with her two children and Andrew McGinns, who was on his way home purest taste in literature, and yet false taste in art, and it is a phenomenon which puzzles me not a little; but I have never known any one having false taste in books, and true taste in pictures."

The citizens of Vancouver he'd a meeting a few evenings since for the purpose of tak ing measures for building a narrow gauge reading not so much for the sake of the story as to get acquainted with the pleasant people into whose company their writers bring you.

Lighted matches were held at the surface of the wells, aud the escaping as ignited at once. It has been burning ever since, without in terruption or sign of cessation. It is the general impression that immense beds of coal and deposits of petroleum will s on be developed in that region, especially in the vicinity of the Saskatchewan liver. Says a Saiem exchange: The Narrow Gauge riaOroad in Linn county is doing a good Im-iness. and yet the citizens stand back and say nothing while the company have actually the audacity to afford no bet ter accommodation for passengers than a poorly arranged box car. A few dollars and a little trouble at the compauy's ex pense would put a good passenger coach on the mad if only the people would ask. Ask largely that ye may receive abundant ly.

Ment.oa was mide in the papers of the mysterious disappearance of two small children of Mr. Funk, who lives near Me hauia, on the Santiam in Marion county, and of a large number of the neighbors who were looking out for the little truants. The Salem Statesman contains a letter from Meiiama which contains the intelli gence that the children had been found, the note concludes as lollows: Marion Taylor was in the volunteer company, and had with him his old faithful hound that was put on their trail, which he followed for some distance, and until in places their tracks were in places visible. Aitysr follow ing this trail some three miles through mud and snow they were found standing inside a large fir tree, apparently none the worse on account of their tramp through the woods, but were in a good physical state of preservation considering the fac that they had been twenty-eight hours without food, and had slept over night without protection from the elements..
