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
