About Wool. The San Francisco Times1 New .York commercial letter of the 2d of November, soys of one item of im portance to Oregon farmers: The Wool Market during the last mouth has been very depressed, particularly for domestic fleece and pulled, while stocks of the latter named are only light, and prices 6tead'dy declining from'2 to 5 cents below former rates. This state of the market is mostly to be accounted fur by the undesira ble condition of the wool of the fast clip, being generally an inferior one in quality, and with a great portion of unsound staple, heavier than U6ual and mixed with those hard black or pitch tops, which cau9eari extra loss in cleansing. In the fleeces there are also -dung locks and other impurities, with some exceptions; ' besides more twine than is needed. The Wool Manufacturers' Association, being aware of the defective wool now grown with us, passed at their meet' ing on the 2J inst.the following res olutions: " That Manufacturers have suffered from over production of particuUr kiiids of goods. YTool growers have, equally suffered from over produce tion of certain kinds of wool. The wisest course for each class to adopt, is to the increase the variety of its products.. ,, i "That it would greatly, benefit many branches of the woolen manu facture, if, in Addition to the ordinary wools now produced, there 'should -be an increase in fine wools cor responding to the best Sileian wools, and in conibit.g wools of Eng lish blood." - ; -Foreign Fine Wools are nominally at former ratss, but little doing, not withstanding tho insufficient light stock. The recent accounts from European markets make mention of a depressed state in general, in the ...... . manufacturing districts ana in tne wool markets, in consequence of which the prices of desirable wools had somewhat suffered, and among the family and undesirable kinds the effect was even greater and more ap parent. The imports of wool into New York were: ."'' Pound. For the vear 1R65. 86,712,112 Jan.,1 to Sept.. 2. 187 ' 1-SM5S Month ending On. 26, 1S67 1,17,001 . In -all. proceedings commenced in bankruptcy the fifty per cent, clause will come into operation. .The 33d section of the law provides that "no discharge shall be granted to a debtor whose assets do not pay fifty per cent, of the claims against his estate unless the assent in writing of a maioritv in number and value of if his creditors, who have proved their claims, filed in the case at or before the time of application for the dis charge.'' The Boise Statesman speaks rather rouijh of Mr. S. G. Eeed'; Stewardship at Washington. Mr. ISoed paid his own expengeB, we be lieve, on that trip and did all that any man could do called the atten tion of Congress to the routes, etc., which is more than any Delegate to Congress from Idaho, under pay and milaage, ever did. Mr. Reed is now absenc from Oregon, at his own " ex- pene, looking to the good of the public. One of the most unpleasant fen tures of the manufacturing interest has been the steady decline during the past season of cotton. Cotton has fallen over six cents a pound since July. One great cause of the decline is found in the fact that the cotton of India has been improving wonderfully withiu the past year or two. Forney's Press of "the 16th of November, contains tho articles which seem to make it cetertain that Grant will bo the nominee of the Re publican party, for President. John W. Forney made James Buchanan President. He is the best " Wire Worker" in the Union no doubt. It is doubtful whether Greeley will accept the appointment of- Min ister to Austria, now that he has been confined. Some thinks it only b plsn to exile the old fellow during the approaching Presidental election. Grape culture is becoming one of the great staples of rural produc tion in the United States. It is as tonishing to note the immerse in crease in that product within the last ten years. It is said that Henry Ward Beecher never wrote a word of " Norwood.

On the "tb of next month the House of BUhops will meet in New York for the purpose of electing a person to fill the vacancy in the dio cese of Oregon. The rain and tho frost combined rendered the NicoUon pavement at Portland slippery indeed. This is the first objection raised to it since it was put down before that, objec tions were multitudinous.

High Mass was celebrated at the Catholic Church in this city on Christ mas Eve. The church was beauti fully decorated and the music by the choir was highly pleasing. Rev.

At the meeting of the MuTtno mah County Teachers Association, held last week, Prof. Frambes intro duced the subject of Normal Schools, and earnestly advocated the estab lishment of such , a school in Oregon. J tie called attention to the advantage which has resulted to the public schools of California, from the es tablishment of a Normal School in that State. Mr. Pershin "arid the Rev. Mr. Anderson fpoke highly in favor of the same. The latter stated, that were he about to teach '-in'. Cali fornia, he would first take a course of instruction at the Normal School, in order that his system of teachimr might be in harmony with that oi the other teachers in the State. - The Mountaineer pays : " Now that the distance is being so rapid! v fhortened between here and the At lantic States by the rapid completion of the Union Pacific Railroad, we be gin to feel that it becomes our duty to shorten the distance as much as possible in making the connection with the railroad. ,Ve.are now get ting our letter ma if "from New York i n eighteen day3. . Nt xt summer,sby.j the Canyon City route, we expect to shorten the time from here to Boise two days ! This would leave sixteen days. And as the railroad is rapidly being pushed this way, we rany ex pect by next fall to get our letters from New York in from ten to twelve days. This is an enterprise in which the whole of northern Oregon is in terested, and t we should be much pleased if our friends would lend us a helping hand, for in the speedy transportation of mails we ate alike all interested.'' The projected branch railroad, connecting Idaho and Oregon, w ith the Central Pacific near, S tit Lake, has been mapped at Boise City.. The Democrat says: According' to this map, the road would come down Rock Creek, instead of Raft River,at the mouth of which creek Snake river can be easily crossed to the north side, and the track laid along its level plnin to this place; and Umatilla. There are positively no serious obsta cles to overcome. With the excep tion of two or three small water courses and creeks, the work of con structing such a railway could be al most as expeditiously done as through the lowlands of' lllin-ois-:" Lay the map aside, and u doubt more serious obstacles than the Democrat editor sees, would appear.

O. F. The plan com mends itself as a very valuable one. It is submitted to the Order in the hope that it will be adopted by every Lodge and every member. Each Lodge is to have appropriate agents and officers, and the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge, is to be Actuary. A membership fee of $1 25 is rc quired, and upon the death of a mem ber an assesmenl of $1 is levied on each person, and the proceed, less the expense of collection, paid as des ignated by the deceased. Of course. in a large Association this would amouut to a considerable sum. The plan is efficient; not liable to abuse ; no profits are expended in agencies or advertising, or ta-ge salaries and office rent. It is the result of the joint efforts of a committee, composed of Rev. Dr. Wythe, S. E. May, J. J. Murphy and A. II.
