Saw-dust mixed with any resinous substance, cut in small cakes and dried, makes good fire-lighters, and saves kindling-wood.

A cracked bell which gives a jarring sound may he improved by sawing or filing the ruptured edges so that they are not brought together by the vibra tion of the blow. A simple mode of keeping butter in warm weather is to set over it the dish containing it a large flower-pot or unidazed earthen ware crock, invert... ed. Wrap a wet cloth around the covering vessel, and place the whole where there is a draft of air. Before laying the carpet, if moths are suspected, it is well to rub the boards over with turpentine; sprink ling with very dilute carlxilic acid, about a teaspoonful to a gallon of wa. ter, is also a good precaution. This last should be rubbed over the walls hefore the paper is put on. The most cleanly method of preserv ing eggst and «me as effective as any other, is to smear them with cotton seed or linseed oil, and pack them with the large end down, in dry bran or wheat or oat chaff, (not cut straw) in a barrel, pressing the whole down close ly, and heading the barrel. Kept in a dry, cool cellar, they will remain in good order for six month«, if the shell has been clean and thoroughly well oiled. V alue of B rush L ands .—There is a great deal of land in this valley that has of late grown up to oak grubs and hazel and is considered of little value. We have a report from Mr. Delos Jefferson, who lives four miles from town, northeast, that goes to show that it will pay well to clear such land to sow in wheat. He employed Chinese labor early last spring and cleared seven acres at a cost of $22.50 per acre, which he thoroughly plowed twice and then sowed in wheat, which has lately been harvested and yielded from thirty-eight to fortj* bushels per acre. He can calculate on receiving forty dollars, per acre, for the produce, we think, and that sum will consider ably more than repay all the expense of grubbing, plowing, seed, and har vesting, more than leaving the in creased value of the land as a price for the year’s work. Experience also proves that, grub land when cleared and cultivated is the very best we have in Oregon.— Salem Farmer. W illiam W estervelt , charged with complicity in the abduction of Charlie Ross, is now on trial in Phila delphia. A newspaper says of the enduring interest felt by the public in the fate of the stolen child is furnished by the fact that the little evening pa pers still, after a lapse of thirteen months, pick up every rumor or tri fling circumstance connected with the case, print it with startling head lines, and send the news-boys out crying. “All about Charlie Ross.” There has not been a fortnight since the abduc tion that we have not heard that cry ringing along Chestnut street, and it appears to still stimulate the public to buy papers.” A Jersey City evening paper made a few dollars last week by starting a story that the child was at home, but that the fact was concealed to save annoyance to the family by the crowds who would rush to see him.

T he D isasters of 1875.—From every part of the earth we have had reports of terrible devastations and loss of life. Earthquakes, famine and the plague have destroyed countless thousands, and whole countries have been desolated. In the South Ameri can Republic of Colombia, an earth quake has killed over 16,000 people, and entire districts have suddenly been swallowed by the yawning earth. In Asia Minora famine has carried off thousands, and depopulated many flourishing localities. On the Fiji Islands the small-pox and other epi demics have committed fearful ravages among the unhappy natives. In some of the States of Central Asia the ter rible scourge which nearly decimated Europe in the middle of the fourteenth century, and was known as the “Black Death,” has raged with fearful violence. Tn the Loyalty Islands of the Pacific Ocean a gigantic tidal-wave has swept away two thousand inhabitants. The waterspout at Pesth, in Hungary, has drowned hundreds. In France the waters of the Garonne have spread destruction over a large and fruitfol region, and destroyed more lives and property than the last war. Cyclones and tornadoes have caused the loss of five hundred lives at Hong Kong, China ; of three hundred and fifty In Georgia ; of sixty in Chili ; of thirty in Louisiana; of fifty odd in France— making an aggregate of a thousand or more. In addition to these visitations there have been an unusual numlier of disasters from land-slides, avalanches, shipwrecks and other causes.—The In terior. G olden W ords .—The habit of look ing upon the bright side is invaluable. Men and women who are evermore reckoning up what they want instead of what they have—counting the difficul ties in the way, instead of contriving means to overcome them—are almost certain to live on corn bread, fat pork and salt fish, and sink into unmarked graves. The world is sure to smile upon a man who seems to be success, fid, but let him go about with a crest fallen air, and the very dogs in the streets will set upon him. We must all have losses. Late frost will nip the fruit in the bud, banks will break, investments will prove worthless, val uable horses will die and china will break, but all these calamities do not come together. The wise course to pursue, when one plan fails, is to form •another, when one prop is knocked from under us, to fill its place with a substitute, and evermore count what is left rather than what is taken. When the final reckoning is made, it appears that we have lost the final consciousness of our eternal rectitude, if we have kept charity toward all men; if by the various discipline of life we have been freed from follies and confirmed in virtues, whatever we have lost, the great balance sheet will be in our favor. How to C ure the H iccoughs .— Aprofios of the recent death of a man in California from the hiccoughs, some body says that a sure cure is to grasp the sufferer tightly by the back of the neck, and have him hold his breath as long as possible. And, by the way, somebody else tells this story of how he discovered a sure cure for the tooth ache : Alum and salt were produced ; my friend pulverized them, and mixed in equal quantities; he then wet a small piece of cotton, causing the mixed powders to adhere, and placed it in my hollow tooth. “There,” said he, “if that does not cure you I will forfeit iny head. You may tell this in Gath and publish it in Askelon; the remedy is infallible.” It was so. I experienced a sensation of coldness on applying it, which gradually subsided and with it the tormeut of the tooth ache. J udge F ield of the United Statea Supreme Court recently decided that legal notices inserted in that Class of papers known as “patent outsides” were not valid. The case which came up before the Judge was one in which a notice of survey was printed in a paper at Santa Barbara, that place be ing the nearest to the land in question. One side of the paper was published in San Francisco and this was lhe office where it was first printed for circulation; so the Judge decided. This strikes quite a blow at a large T he laziest of us are going at a tremendous rate, whether we will or not. The earth is going round the sun at the rate of 30,000 miles an hour, or 1,100 faster than the fastest express train moves. The earth revolves on I its axis at a very high speed, propor tioned to the distance of its surface number of lhe “weekly” papers of the from the axis. At the equator, it is couutry.— Journal. 1,040 miles an hour, or seventeen a AVE learn, says the farmer, From minute; at Rekinwitz, a polar town, it is seven and a half miles a minute; at Dr. McCauley, at Stayton, recently, the poles it is nothing.
