The regular monthly meeting for No vember will be held at the Council Chamber on next Monday evening. Substitute for Batting. As the winter season approaches, housewives gen crally desire a suitable article for making bed comfortables. The Woolen Factory of Mr. Trullingcr. about seven miles east of this city, manufacture an excellent article for the purpose. It is an admirable substitute for cotton batting. A fine quality of yarn is also made at the same factory. Messrs. Charmau & Brother are agents, with whom orders may be left. Webster's Unabridged. The large volume of Webster to be seen at our offic, was a present from Mr. S. B. Parrish of Portland. It is a fine sample of the books to be obtained at the establishment of J. L. Parrish & Co., and we recommend parties who wish anything in that line to give the house a call. A Linen Factory. A great many people desire to see a linen factory estab lished in this city. As an evidence of the demand for linen fabrics we may state that the sack factory of Mr. Kester in this city,for eighteen months, worked up linen goods to the amount of $300 per month. Base Ball. -The return match of base ball will be played on Saturday next; at Portland, between the Pioneer Club of that city, and the Clackamas Club of this city. A steamer will leave Oregon Cily for Poitlaud on that morning at 7 o'clock, and return in the afternoon. Home Again. Thos. C. Chormun Las returned from San Francisco with a very full stock of merchandise, lull particulars of which is given by advertisement. Mr. J. II. Ralston, late of Ralston & Myers, has also returned with a heavy stock. Our readers will be able to post themselves with regard to these matters by an inspection of our columns. Still Coming. Mr. J. M Bacon, County Clerk, W. P. Burns, Sheriff, and J. L. Barlow have added largely to our list of yearly subscribers the past week. This is a kind of encouragement we appreciate. Mctcal. Dr. F. Barclay of this city has been appointed agent for the New England Life Insurance Company. Amory Holbrook, deceased, was formerly its agent in this State. Body Recovered. The remains of Lewis Leopold, drowned at this city on the lsth, were recovered on Monday last, iiu-I properly interred on the day following. Pine Wool Sheep. Messrs. Thomas Rowley and John G. Porter of this city have within the past week brought to this county two lots of fine wool sheep to the number of 200 head each. The sheep are certainly equal to any that have ever been brought into the count-. The same gentlemen have al?o purchased four bucks of full blood, two of which took first premiums at the last State Fair, and the other two took second premiums. Three of these were purchased of Thomas L. David son of Marion county, and one of J. Miuto, also of Marion. For fineness, beauty and weight of fleece these sheep cannot be sur passed. We are pleased to see our Clacka mas couuty friends 44 branching out" in this line. The facilities for sheep raising in this county are unequalled in the State, and there is room for a thousand head here where we now count but a single sheep. Messrs. Rowley and Porter design entering upon the business largely, as their late purchases in dicate, and as it costs no more to raise fine wool than it does to produce coarse grades, they have started right. Fine wool merinos, such as they have, will average six pounds to the fleece, while common sheep rarely produce more than three to four pounds. We have an evidence of what results from keeping the best sheep, in the productions of Mr. T. G. Nailer, of Washington county. That gentleman last week sent to the Fac tory at this city one French merino fleece which weighed 26 1-2 pounds, and several of the fleeces from his flock weighed twelve pounds, and the average below that was from 8 3-4 to 9 pounds each. Mr. Elliott, also of this count', has lately purchased two splendid fine-wool bucks. We advise others to follow these examples. Home Manufactured Clothing. It is with pleasure that we call the atten tion ot the trade to the facilities Mr. C. M. Kester of this city has for supplying the market with home manufactured clothing, etc. Wc sometimes hear a merchant com plain that his customers are slow pay al luding to the agriculturists. Do such mer chants ever conceive that they are mostly to blame for this? Do they realize that the farmer is principally dependant upon the home market for the disposal of what he pro duces, in order that he may pay his store bills? We think not, else they would con sider, when purchasing clothing in other markets and such articles as are made at home, that they are shutting up establish ments which employ large numbers of peo ple who buy of the farmers that they may live. One such establishment as Mr. Kes ter's, in this city, is worth more to us than ten portages, yet, we find people complain ing that the slow process of passing freight through the town has been abolished, and wc hear of nothing, particular!-', that they would say or do to keep the factory above water. We are proud of Mr. Kester's estab lishment, and should like very much to see the proprietor increase Lis force of opera tives. . Thanks. Mr. Diller, of the Lin coln Bakery, has our thanks for a fine string of trout, and Mr. II. S. Buck will also accept of our bow for a fine sample of cider. D ED. In this city on the evening of the 3ist of October, Edoar Ballinger, son of W. B. and F. L. Partlow, aged 2 3T3 and 4 months. " We miss thee Eddie ; the smile that used to greet us. No more will shed its sunlight o'er the heart; No more thy step come lightly forth to moet us. Or sweei adieu be whispered when we part. Thy last adieu is said; thy smile has lost its play ; Thy heart is still, that was so full of love; The angels came and called thee, dear, away To join their number in the realms above." M. IS.

One of the most important discov eries in Oregon is the fact that Barman Brothers Clothing Emporium at Poitlaud, on the river side of Front Street, between Arrigoni's Hotel and the Lincoln House, is the best place at which to purchase clothing.

Dr. Bouhxe cures without medi cines, which accounts for his extraordinary success. No. 10, Masonic Temple, Post street entrance : Sax Francisco, Sept. 6, 1861. Dr. Bourne: Last Winter 1 was nearly dead, by an attack of inflammatory rheuma tism. I suffered the most excruciating pt-ins for about five weeks, without an hope of relief, when a friend hearing of my illness, called to see me, and assured me that if I would stop "drugging and dosing" and go to you, that you would have me walking about the streets in three days. Sure enough, although I was utterly helpless, and con veyed to your house in a carriage, and car ried into it by three stout men, aud by them lifted into the bath, yet, on coming out of it, I largely assisted myself, doing much to wards dressing, and, without assistance, walked from the bath to the carriage. On the fourth day I discharged my carriage and walked, with a friend's aid, the entire dis tance to your house (nearly a milt,) .and home again, r.nd so on until cured. I felt myself a well man. And now I am happy to'doyou this little service, of publiely cer tifying to the simple truth, leaving it to do its work among my friends and acquaint ances as may chance to see this. 0 Your friend, JOSEPH SPARROW. CONS UMP TION An Interesting Letter. Very few persons, even among physicians, would have been willing upon any terms to have been in the condition of the writer of the following letter on the 14th of February last. I will anticipate somewhat his report of the facts by saying that on the 15th of August he made me a visit, 44 the very pic ture of good health." Time, which tries and proves all things, has sufficiently tested this case, and shown that neither relapse nor collapse have followed, the cure is perfect, and can be cited among the scores of similar cases the result of my improved mode of treating diseases without medicine. O. M. BOURNE, Water Cure Physician, No. 10, Masonic Temple, Post street. Sacramento, April SO, 1865. Dr. G. M. Bocrne Dear Sir : It. is with pleasure and satisfaction that I now let you know of my good health. Looking back upon what I have passed through, it seems as iff had been lifted from the grave, and I tbink it my duty to acknowledge to you and the world the benefit I derived fro ji water treatment as administered by you in your celebrated baths. It was in August l$G4, when disease developed itself with a severe cough. 1 then took medicines, getting worse with dulls, fevers, loss of strength, Is aud was pronounced consumptive. Tliis set me to thinking, and finally 1 determined to leave my business and go to the Sandwich Islands, having been informed that I could not be c.rcd here. I went to San Francisco, and while waiting for a ship called upon Dr. Bourne, w ha stated that a trip to tht Islands would probably result disastrously, was wholly unnecessary, as I could be speedily cured at his establishment. I placed myself nnder his treatoint, and in one week was so much improved I thought I could risk re turning home and do my duty as Engineer on Ihe Central Pacific Railroad. The Doc tor objected, but I thought 1 knew better, aud returned to duty. In about two weeks my cough returned, and I kept getting worse, and contrary to Dr. Bourne's injunc tion never to take medicine again, committed that folly, and soon was so completely run down that I could scarcely walk ; so, as a last resort, I concluded once noreto try the Water Cure. 1 went to San Francisco few of mv friends expecting me to return; in fact I thought my return doubtful. On ar riving at Dr. Bourne's establishment (Feb. 14, 1865) I was not able to get into the bath without assistance, but in a few days I began to recover myself again, I remained with him only six weeks, when I felt a 44 wiser and better man," without the aid of medi cine. I have how been at work several weeks, aoid find that I am gaining every day and at present bid fair to be stouter than ever before. Persons visiting the Doctor's establishment find it just what it should be, both in the Ladies' aud Gentlemen's Depart ments, and I cannot say too raucti in praise of the Doctor's kind attentions to his pa tients. This letter I wute for the benefit of all the amicted, to be used as the Doctor decides, and should it be the means of directing any to his care aud treatment wbl (as they as suredly will) find relief, I will be paid for my trouble. JAMES CAMPBELL, Engineer Central Pacific Railroad. Sax Francisco, Aug. 22, 18C5. Advised by the undersigued, Ar. James Campbell, of the Central Pacific Railroad, (who was then in a most deplorable state of ill health) placed himself under the care of Dr. Bourne, the Water Cure Physician. Some six months afterward he visited the city, when I accidentally met him at Dr. Bourne's establishment, and am happy to say, restored to the enjoyment of good health, and in finespirits. JO UN SULLIVAN. Dr. Bourne treats all diseases of the throat, chest and lungs which includes dip theria, bronchitis, incipient consumption, pleurisy, croup, etc., with great success. Great re.ief is afforded in advanced stages of consumption. Rheumatism, paralysis, neu ralgia, fever and ague, droosy, etc , etc., are also cured quickly, pleasantly and econom ically. No medicine whatever. Dr. Bourne takes the liberty to publish the above as many persons had prophesied his relapse into his former condition, on return ing to his duties, of the writer of an 44 Inter esting Letter," whtise statements concerning tae-eureofa well defined case of consump tion have recently attracted so much atten tion to the Water Cure, as improved upon and practised by Dr, Bourne- This addi tiocai testimony must prove satisfactory to all reasonable nunds. It should be remem bered that Dr. Bourne uses no medicines whatever, and that his patients almost uni versally are those who failed to receive re lief from the medical practitioners ; yet they are cured with great rapidity, and in a pljas mit ?ud agreeable manner.

THE DIRECTORS OF THIS CELE3RATV ed Medical Institute wish to thank the public for the generous manner in which they have sustained the Resident Phvsician" with their patronage. It is now six" year since the Institute ws established; during that lime there has been over thirty thousand consultations, and in all cases, w here th disease was curable, A perfect and permanent cure haa been performed.
