.... i .J7 i 1 o to r v tin V IljcUJcckln (enterprise. TOWS AXB IOI.VTY. " Faxcv Rinaway While engaged in tbe pursuit of one or more items, we notic ed a splendid team of horses, with a danc jn" devil of restlessness and equine high spirits in their eyes, standing with loosened lines by one of our magnilicent dry goods stores." Then it struck us that here was what we wanted. All we had to do was to give those intelligent brutes, with the Satan in their visual organs, a hint to git! and we should have a run-away of fright ful dimensions, ready made. . . .Whether it was our fancy started them, we can't say ; but suppose it Vii? wit" rapidly ac celerated walk, t&U, and run, we saw a viio:Lof dust and dismay Hying along the strec3 of our usually quiet and beautiful villas- how those horses did run ! We thought ot how Ichubod Crane scud through the classic shades of Sleepy Hol low, with the wild huntsman at his heels. Rosinante, Bucephalus, and other great names, swept vividly across our startled niirid. with the recollection of Lighifoot. a pony 'which our infancy knew," and which' also ran away with us. furnished dranit-tic side thrills as an accompaniment to the principal tragedies to be naturally apprehended from the flight of a pair of such magnificently reckless horses, down our busy streets. While we were getting pencil and note-book in order, with a suit ably lugubrious expression of countenance to Jo justice to the horrors of such a spec tacle, a feeling of remorse that we bad let our fancy go so far. seized us. and looking again, under that impulse, we discovered that the horses had n"t. after all, moved from where they lir.-t stood. After which, of course we felt happy once more, and trudged on iu search of another item. Accri'Kvr. On Wednesday afternoon Arthur Chairman, son of ilaj. Thomas Charman of this city, while out riding his horse, was thrown, lie held on to the bridle rein, and the horse, a spirited one. in its effort to get away, stepped upon the boy "s groin inflicting painful wounds. lie was picked up aud carried to Dr. Barclay's office, where the wounds were properly dressed, and afterwards was taken to his room at the residence of his father. Vt'e are pleased to know that the injuries are not considered fatal, and that ho will again be about iu a few weeks. MiiiniA(;i:s. We have been grumbled at for not publishing marriages enough this is n't all our fault. Look at the list this week. Five wise pair of people, no less, have turned from the error of their ways. Among them, one is a first class elopement; another a Senator of the United Stales! Say ; Aint we doing well? if we were at nil inclined to give good advice, gratis, we would suggest to two or three rather reverend looking old Bachelors, ho some times drop into our sanctum, that thev "go and (iu likewise."'

We think it well worth preserving, and hope it will be extensively circulated. We shall print a few thousand copies of it in circular form, and furnish them to all who desire to have them on hand, to be enclosed with i letter at any time, at 73 cents per 100 copies or, we furnish them in any desired quantity, tc order, at $1 per 1.000 copies, which barely covers the cost of printing, Provided, that such orders are received within 30 days : You Ah: I- W hat kind of a country is Oregon for farming? II. Is the country, in its wild state, covered with forest ? III. Are the people afflicted much with fever and ague ? IV. How far is the Willamette in a di rect line from the ocean ? V- Do the rivers and streams abound in fish ? VI. Is it profitable to raise sheep? VII. Is the Valley subject to lrequcnt inundations ? VIII. How expensive are partly im prove! farms, with buildings thereon? AX3WEP.3 AND KE.UAUHS. Oregon is pre-eminently u good country for farming. Perhaps a comparison be tween Oregon and Massachusetts, with re gard to seme products, would be the best means 1 could adopt to impress this upen your mind. I5y reference to the Sth census you will see that Oregon, with a popula tion of 52.105. produced of wheat fe'22,i()S bushels, and 1)00.204 bushels of oats. Mas sachusetts, with her 1 .231 .OC inhabitants, produced ltl'JJSG bushels of wheat, and l.liS'J,07;" bushels of oats. Indeed, Oregon does not full far behind the entire New Lngland States in the production of wheat which stands first amongst grains fit for human food. It has been remarked by many intelligent observers who have visit ed this -coast, that Oregon possesses a re markable fecundating power. This fer tility docs not lie in her soii exclusively : for richness of soil 1 think she will be'ar comparison with some of the Western States. It must be mainly- owing to her mud and uniform seasons, and its exis tence is seen in animal as well as vegeta ble life. The tendency of domestic ani mals here Is to breed too early ; and the tendency of cur apple, pear, and plum orchards is to early overbearing. The uniformity of the seasons, one with anoth er, is such that, during a residence of over 23 years here. 1 have never known the apple-tree to lad to fail to bear, or the wheat to yield a harvest generally abundant for the means used to procure ft. Wheat and oats are our principal crops, being most convenient, and yielding the greatest re turn for the labor and care tlioy require. There are farmers in the Willamette valley who believe they can fatten pork on wheat here with less labor than they used to fat ten it on corn, on rich Illinois corn lands. Second, Oregon may properly be divid ed into two districts' L;st and West which differ very materially as regards climate. That portion of the State lying east of the Cascade mountains, which di vide it in nearly a north and south direct ion, is hotter and dryer in the summer, and colder and dryer in the winter, than the western portion. In extent it embraces more than half the area of the State, and consists mainly of narrow but exceedingly fertile valleys and high, dry table lands, mostly covered with a short and very nu tritious bunch grass. The scarcity of tim ber in th'.s region m ikes cattle herding and sheep raising the chief pursuits, aside from gold and si.ver mining. The valleys would Kipply breads'.u'fs for four times the popu lation that is now there, and more than three-fourths of the country is yet unoc cupied even for the purposes of gaazing. Toward the eastern boundary of the State the land assumes a barren character. where ortchiisla. or wild sage, is the pre ailing growth. WE.STEItN OKEUON' Is divided into three principal valleys the Willamette, the I'mpqua, and the liogue river. In their " wild state'' each contain a large proportion of prairie land, covered with a variety of grasses and clovers. Of these valleys the Willamette is by far the most extensive, and is the largest compact body of good farming land on the Pacific slope. It is estimated to contain 3.000.000 acres of arable land, so interspersed with belts of timber, and streams of living wa ter, as to make it difficult to conceive of a place jjetter fitted by nature for the use of civilized man. Third. There is very little fever and j ague here ; what there is, is so confined to a few localities, that it is not counted ! amonr the ills of life here. Fourth, The Willamette river lias its sources in the Cascade, Calapooia and Coast ranges of mountains. The 1st bounds it on the east, the 2d on the south separat ing it from the Umpqua valley and the Coast range which is connected with the Cascade range by the Calapooia.stretc hing across the head of the valley, and bounds it on the west, separating it from the coast line, with which its course is nearly paral- lei from south and north, at an average ; distance of about 70 miles. About mid- j way of its course of one hundred and 40 j miles, the river tends to the west, and at j Corvallis it is but 40 miles from the waters ! of Yaquina Pay, to which place there is j now a good wagon road. On the west side ! of the Coast range the climate is again modified by the influence of the ocean, the ! dews fall more copiously, and rain is moie i frequent, consequently grass keeps green j late into the season ; circumstances all in- j dicate that this will be the dairy region of I Oregon and experience at those points ! where settlements are already formed in j this region, confirm the facts so indicated, j At some of these points as Tillamook bay, j Yaquina. Alsea, and Coos bays, there are j thriving settlements. The country gener- 1 ally is covered with forests of larch. spruce, hemlock, cedar, red, yellow, and white fir. j of such dimensions as it is difficult for a resident of the Atlantic seaboard to con- j ceive of. and hazardous to any man's char- j actor for veracity to describe. The forest i lands of this State can scarcely be said to j be touched yet, for purposes of cultivatfon. i Fifth, There is not a great variety of fish j in the rivers and streams of Oregon. We j have all the varieties of the trout family. ; however, at the head of which is the Sal- num. Salmon of excellent quality enter j the Columbia river, and run up into most ! of its tributaries. The falls of the Wil- j lamette, (nearly 40 feet perpendicular, at i Oregon City.) intercept their further pro- j grcss up that river, and at that point there j is excellent fishing. Sturgeon are caught ! in the Colv.mbia. and there is also a kind I of chub which is said to be of fine quality. ; Little attention is yet paid to any kind of j fish except salmon and oysters which lat- ; ter are cultivated at Yaquina bay. Sixth. Sheep raising is profitable here j as compared with other branches of farm- ' ing. Wool raising is being adopted as a ! pursuit by many of our citizens. The i wool produced in western Oregon is found ! to be of a very superior quality, and the extensive grazing lands of eastern Oregon, and the market for mutton furnished by the mining camps, is inducing many to adopt sheep husbandry there. It is now one of the most important interests in the State, and together with the manufacture of woolen goods, is destined to become more ai)d more important. Seventh. Such a thing as freshets during the summer season is not known in Oregon j wiih the exception of the regular rise in the Columbia, which is caused by the melt- ! ing of snow in the far interior. These wa- j ters reach the lower Columbia from the j middle to the end of June, and occasion- ; ally do some damage. The bottom lands; are not extensive, however, and the wai r i usually subsides in time for those who farm these lands to raise crops upon them. In 23 years I have never seen the waters of Willamette, or its tributai is. discolored in the least by a summer r tin. Between the middle of June and the middle of Oc- toher it does not often rain so as to lay j the dust, and a thunder shower is a rare I occurrence in Oregon. From about the j middle of October' it commences to rain i at intervals, which shorten as winter ap ! proaches. By the middle of December j the wet weather channels are usually full of water ; a great overflow is not common. : We had high floods in November 1.S44. in ; December 18(51, and one not so high in ; ls'oO. The difference between the summer ! and winter flow of water is well defined, j and is easily guarded against. Eighth, The. price of partly improved : farms vary considerably, according to lo- cality, quality, etc. Land can be bought j within a circle of five miles around Salem at S10 to $100 per acre ; within ten miles, I at So to $2.3. Light to ten dollars per j acre will buy good lands within conveni ent distances of towns, l-'xcellent opened . timbered lands, with improvements, in j some instances can be bought within ten j miles of Oregon City, at from $5 to $10 per acre. Sheep ranges in Umpqua val- ley can be had for $2 to o per acre. These are gold prices, and lands can be I purchased of the State at S2 to $10 in currency ; or taken up under the home j stead or pre-emption laws, and cost in : manner nothing. j Ju conclusion. I would say there is room in Oregon for tens of thousands more of industrious people. We are a much mixed up community, coming as we do from every State iu the Union, and from neafi V every State in Europe ; but Christian mis sionaries were the pioneers of civilization here. The influence of their example and teachings have not been lost. As a proof of this 1 waf close by a comparison be tween Oregon and other new Stales, as a a law abiding and order loving communi ty. Previous to the breaking out of the great rebellion the materials ibr the State census had all been collected. These sta tistics give the number of deaths by mur- i der in the State of Texas for the vear end ing June 1st, ls(i0, as C, and the number of executions, one. In Oregon for the. same period the deaths by murder were 2. and the executions 3. Joux Minto. The Markets. On Saturday last Messrs. McCraken, Merrill & Co., of Portland, issued the following circular to their cor respondents : There has been a marked improvement i m trade generally since our last, and especially in Oregon produce. Hams still I continue in good demand and the supply j light. Paeon sides have been in request ! at advanced rates the stock has been much reduced within the past fortnight by partios buying to hold and orders from the interior. Flour has been shipped to San Francisco as fast as received, and is bring ing fair rates. Our markets could with ditlieuHy f urnish sufficient to supply orders from Victoria per last I-ldditer. The pros pects for the coming year continue fair, and we think there will be a rcarket for our surplus Hour and wheat at about pres ent rates. Dried fruits have fallen off a little, probably iu view of a large incoming crop. ( Jreen fruits are exceedingly abun dant, and hardly pay expense of packing and freight to tins place.

Marshall has opened a new shop in this city for the repair and manufacture of ail kinds of ! vehicles. The Railroad. The country is alive with excitement on account of the rail road, which will soon be commenced at Portland, to run to California. An immense travel will throng this road, bringing thous ands of persons to Darman's City of Pans store, in order to purchase of that firm their clothing. Smuggling. When a good article that comes under the head of import dues is sold for less than duties, it is surmisable that it has been brought into the country sur repticiously. David Cole of Salem did not smuggle Ihe stock, but he can sell stoves, etc., cheaper than any other man in Oregon. He does do it and inteuds to keep ou do ini; it. Wait a few Days. Those ladies who wish to purchase truly good; cheap and handsome Dress Patterns, should wait until Ivohn k. Fishel receive their new stock by the steamer now due. To those gentlemen who come here strangers, we would say : Do not be deceived by clap-trap advertisements, but go to Kolm k Fishel's either for fashion able or durable clothing you will there get an honest, square bargain.

"VTOTIIING THAT IS NOT WIIOLE Jl some, geuial, and restorative in its na ture, enters into tbe composition of HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Tins popular preparation contains no mineral of any kind ; no deadly botanical element ; no fiery excitant ; but is a combination of the extracts of rare balsamic herbs aud plants, .;:'h the purest and mildest of all diffusive stimuli-. r.s. The wct-k stomach is rapidly invigorated, aud the appetite restored by this tonic, and hence it works wonders iu cases of Dyspepsia, ami in less confirmed forms of I.cbsjestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aprTent. as well as upon the liver, it also invariably re lieves the Constipation superinduced by ir regular action of the digestive aud secretive organs. l'ersons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous Attacks, Lowness of Spirits, and Fits of Languor, find prompt and permament relief from the Bitters.

In cases of Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay, and Debility and Decrepitude arising from old age, it ex ercises the electric influence.
