'"-litis not generally known that we of Oregon City hare any sort of roads upon which to take a drive in the afternoon, be fore breakfast, or at dusk, but having twice accepted of invitations from friends within the past len da"s to ride over the hills ta.nt of the city, we learn that in point of flct our county can boa3t of its drives. The first ride wa3 with Mr. W. B. Partlow. wbo has for seventeen years kept livery stable on Main street, and is now about to gCtUe down on a farm, just as any man ought to do, if he wants to be independent O and live to a good old age. We rolled , o'at through a shady grove an tne way ior a few miles south easterly, saw several handsome farms, with neat tasty residences, barns amP other buildings, reminding us of homes in the land beyond the Missis sippi. There ws real pleasure in the trip. Again, we went northerly ; and ve shall o again and again, as often as we can af ford it. . T . There are hundreds of people living in Portland who never visited this city they never get beyond the sound of drays and hacks, milk carts, and bakers wagons. Let them come up here and treat their ears to the sound of our rushing waters, tfce spindles and looms in our manufac tories, the music of our forest birds, and breathe the breath of fresh air. It will do them good. Passage is cheap, and trans portation often. Fare 23 cents, 50 cents, br SI 00 take your choice, to go at 9 o'clock by the Senator, 10 o'clock by the Wenut, 1 o'clock r. M., by the Alert, or at 3 r. it. by coaches of the (J. & O. Stage Co. Col. White or Messrs. Miller & Co. will treat you as sumptuously to hotel fare as any you find at the Western, or American Kxchanxo. 0 Saturday last the harvest com menced in Clackamas county. We had the pleasure that evening of visiting a re gion five miles east of this city, where we "procured samplesof the kind of productions the soil of our hills turns out. We have 0 two samples of grain from adjoining fields, on the farm oT Mr. E, W. SwafTord, one of oats and one of wheat. The oats straw measures five fret four inches to the grain, the head being seven inches more, filled heavily. The wheat stands eighteen steins fro iff one tuft, and averages three feet tlree inches, with fyiir inches and a feJtlf of head, containing about the finest grain the vorld ever saw. These are only average specimens of the grain of this county. The crop will turn out largely, and without a blemish. Success has finally crowned the efforts "of Capt. Tease to supply this city with water for the purpose 6f extinguishing fires. The reservoir has been enlarged, lu luripil slicet iron nines taken nn ami i substantial cast fron put down in place of them ; and whrti water is not sufficiently supplied by the stream on the bluff, it is forced through tlie mains to tne reservoir o from the river, by the pumps in use at the woolen factory. We believe that there are none now so ungeuerons as not to 'congratulate' Capt. Pease, and feel thank ful that ve have tone protection at lat 'against who-K'sah1 !oss by fire. There is not a building within range of The hy drants on Main street. that is not now com paratively safe to what it ever was before. Wo do not think that any bitter stream is thrown on account of fhe cast iron mains, but there is les. leakage, and the work is 'durable.

Ltngley Vill please pardon us for not sending him our p iper the past year, in return, for tbo "c tinpliment we met in the reception of hi Pacific Coast Directory for 1S7. We nhall hope to ataend this neglect in the future. On the night of Tuesday 28th a pair cf fiends iff human shape threw off a couple -of planks from the bridge at the juirction just beVond the Lambert place, on the Cuttingsville road. They ure on the route to Salem snrc-, if captured. The hand that iuld do such a deed deserves a Visitation ot Providence. There Svcre several p eo ple from that vicinity in town that eve ning, attending the concert, among them Mr. Latowretfe's family. Fortunately none "Jvere injured, as tfie teams wcre Qgehtle and eaiil'y hand ted, at the Critical O moment. Sunday last was the warmest day of he season. The very air seemed stifled, wi compressed with heat. Yet there were cool breezes in this vicinity along toward evening, and we took our custom ary (stroll. Visiting Canemab, that tasty nviron,we accepted of a splendid bouquet plucked in the garden of our i'riend and fellow citizen. Ed. Fellows, for which wc returned thanks to Mrs. F., on behalf of our better half. Wc should scarcely be lieve that with the thermometer at "DS fuch bPautiful flowers could exist, as do grow in Canemah. An addition to the McLaughlin House in this city, is soon to be constructed, 24 by 60 feet in size, two stories, and divided off in such manner as to leave a dining room 24 by 49 feet, andgive 14 additional rooms for sleeping apartments. We are glad to know that tho hotel business of the city is increasing so fast, as it is a pretty fair indication ef tire wrofpfrity of c place. What Messrs. J. F. Miller A Co. Messrs. White A Rhcades of the Cliff House, cannot do. to satisfy customers, bone nee$ attempt. Theew gang plows of Mr. tcwis latent, are attracting nntisaal attention. &e is manufacturing the celebrated Pfiel I'low, as well s his own, and two better PUcrna-Avere never made. The Agricultu ral Reports for IS7 speak in the highest terms of the Pfiel Plow, and all farmers should look at these before buying of any ne. Give our home institutions the Jint tan, at all events.

An ice cream festival, held at the hall of the GooU Templars on Wednesday eve ning was well patronized, and enjoyed. Harper's school and family slate, the best hx use, is sold by S. J. McCormick, Portland. m 1 The contract for the construction of a new bridge at Parrot's creek, in this county, has been let. A bridge has Ions been needed at that point. The North American Steamship Com pany are unflinching in their opposition, and rates are lower then ever. The Ore gonlan will sail on the 20th. connecting w ith the Guidbuj Star lor New York. " There can in future be no complaints about the Cancmah road. Marshal Van dervort has just finished a little the best job of McAd.imiziug on that road, that we have seen in Oregon. Mr. I. Selling wishes to have it under stood among his late patrons and by the public in geueral that he has a full assort ment of desirable goods, which is offered at the most reasonable rates. We hear of a disease, in most casc3 fatal, which has attacked the young stock of this county. Calves are taken with it by neighborhoods, a hard bunch grows in the throat, and death ensues. What is it? and what the remedy ? Can any one tell ! Among the new advertisements to-day it will be seen that lleuston, Hastings & Co. are represented. This firm is the most popular of all San Francisco dealers. Their reputation is based upon fair deal ing and the best qualities of merchandise. S. J. McCormick, of the loner estab lished Franklin Dook Store, Portland, will please accept our thanks for a copy of Godij for August, ahead of all competitors: also for New York and Chicago papers of me latest dates, ana a choice selection of pictorials. . . A house may be cleared of ants by laying a few lumps of moist crushed sugar ou the pantry shelves. When they get upon the sugar so black that the bait can not be seen burn ants and all. Once or twice trial will clean them out effectually. We have tried it. Mr. Walgamot, well known among the farmers of Oregon, returned last week after our paper had gone to press, with his bride from California. They were wel comed at the Cliff House, and serenaded that evening by the Oregon City Crass Band, in several of the liveliest airs of the season. The County Coin miss! otters will re ceive proposals for tbo construction of a bridge, similar to the Harrison Wright bridge, across the Molla'ia. at G rib trie's Ford. Bidders are asked to submit plans and specifications. For particulars see posters. Mr. Bartlett, who must be a relative of the Bartlett Tear, he is so good, has left upon our table 12 plums which weighed iwo pounds. These are of the Peach, or Orleans variety, and although fruit of this description is scarce this year, it bears evidence that what did grow,grew heavy. We have a Florence Sewing Machine which has done the sewing for our family more than five years ami it has never cost 25 cents for repairs. Buy jour sew ing machines of Shanahan, is the advice of the Editorwf the Esterpkise, based upon a knowledge of worth. The new steamer Success w ill make her trial trip to-day, and oil Monday mornin'g 'will leave Cancmah for Corvallis and intermediate points.

Tn'Cur notice latst we'e'k of tire com mencement Txercises of the Willamette University, the statement of the degrees conferred was erroneons, the Uniohisi, from which our item was taken, having been misinformed. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon Miss Jose Devot e, and Messrs. George E. Strong and E. J. Waaler. All 1be ether young gen tlemen named only took the degree of Bachelor of Science. The Bulletin, of Portland, remarks in substance : The sen sation of the occasion was when Miss Jose Devore, the accomplished daughter of the Rev. J. F. Devore, Presiding Elder of this District, tossed her manuscript on the table, and stepping near the front of the platform, proceeded to " ppeak like a statesman.7' She is the first voung ladv who has completed theyonng gentlemen s course in any university on the Pacific Coast, and taken the degree of A.

When imp-are air has accumulated in the bottom of a well, mix 20 or 33 pounds of lime in a bucket of water, apd pour little by little on the stones forming the edge of the well, then 20 or 25 pounds of, quick, lime are thrown into the water and form vapors which im mediately ascend. After 24 hours a. can dle will burn clearly inside the well, which indicates the dissipation of 'the noxious gas. . :r : - The press upon which the. Ore- gqnian was first issued, is now at Seat tie, W. T., a venerable relic of the xrt, n-jcfol in if ,Jav.-7 ;ts xw Cabinet Ed it ions of tlie AVorkrn of "Washington Irving. " In announcing several new editions, in a style of improved elegance, and conve nience, of the Works of Washington Irving, the publishers would take the opportunity of acknowledging ' the go5d reception which his efforts in the presentation of these favorite Writings bate heretofore re ceived. In the several forms in which the various productions of the author of the Sketch-Book' have been given .to the public,- it' is estimated thatthe sale has reached no less than fifty thousand of the series, or more than a million volumes. Nor is the demand yet abated. On the contrary, new exertions of enterprise are required to meet the desires of a new gen eration of readers, and keep pace with the progress of taste arid refinement in tb typographic and other mechanic arts of the publisher's calling. The motive of this perennial popularity is not ' far to seek. . It is to be read on every page of the delightful volumes in which "Geoffrey Crayon'' infused the uappy inspiration oi nis genius in ins ae votion to, themes which will always be. re garded by successive generations of, rea ders with no ordinary emotions of interest. The charm of the felicitous style of Wash ington Irving, the reflection of the amiable poetic spirit of the . truly refined gentle man, would be felt on any topic on which the author had been pleased to bestow it But it is for the ever-enduring' fame of Irving that he close for the exercise of his pen, topics of undying value and import ance. In his inviting Essays on human life and character in portraying manners, as in the "Sketch-Book," "Braccbridge Hall," and other volumes, he has touched, with mingled sentiment and humor, those emotions which are implanted in the hearts of all; while his topics of biography, of history and romance, are of such world wide celebrity and passionate interest as the story of Columbus and his followers, with their discoveries of the New World ; the life of the founder of the nation. Gkop.ce Washington, drawing with it the narrative of the Civil and Military events of America during his remarkable career ; the marvelous record of Mahomet, with the illustrations of the genius of h:s race in the romantic fact and legend of " The Tales of the Alhambra" and the - Con quest of Granada the felicity with which the author has linked his name wilh the birthplace of Shakespeare, the genius 'of Oliver Goldsmith, the fame of Scott and Byron, and. not least, the humorous in vention which, in"; Knickerbocker's irre sistible Chronicle of New York, has im puted a mythic interest to the bare early annals of his native city. It is that the writings of Washington Irving ir.ay be claimed to be imperishable, till, what is not likely soon to happen, the. same ever welcome themes are treated in some hap pier manner. The charm of Irving is hi3 acceptability to all. a grace and refine ment to please the most fastidious ; and bis peculiar merit is readily appreciated by every reader: his good sense and hu mor, the air of enjoyment pervading his pages, has secured his works a home in both hemispheres, wherever the English language is understood. Of the few in dispensable authors in every American library. Washington Irving is certainly among the foremo3t. The delight of child hood, tlie chivalric companion of refined womanhood, the solace of life at every period, his writings are an imperishable legacy of grace and bea'nty to his coun trymen. The new publications of these works will be in several forms of unusual ele gance, and all, in proportion to a moderate price for each, combining good taste with economy. The series will be issued in the following order punctually on the first day of each month until completed, beginning last October : Bracebridge Hall; Astoria; Wolfert's Roost; Bonneville; Sketch-Book: Mahomet. 2 vols: Traveler; Granada; Knickerbocker; Salmagundi ; Crayon Mis cellany ; Spanish Papers ; Goldsmith: Miscellanies: Alhambra; Washington, 5 vols ; Columbus, 3 vols ; Life and Letters, 4 vols.

HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS! A Pure and Powerful Tonic, Corrective and Alterative, of wouacr ful cfficilCy in dieascs of I lie STOMACH LIVER AND BOWELS. PROTECTIVE PUOPERTIES. Prevents Fever and Aue and Biilious Re mittent Fevers ; fortifies the system against Miasma and the evil effects of unwholesome water ; invigor- ' ates the organs ot digestion and the bowels; Steadies the Xerves and tends to Pro long Lil'r. REMEDIAL PROPERTIES. Cure9 Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Sick and Nervous Headache, General Debility, Nervousness, Depression f Spirits, Constipation, Coiic, Intermit tent Fevers, Sea Sickness, Cramps and Spasms, and ail complaints of either ser arising from Bodily Weakness, whether inherent in the svstem or PRODUCED BY SPECIAL CAUSES. "VfOTniNG THAT 13 NOT WITOLE LN some, genial, and restorative in its na ture, enters into the composition -of HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This popular preparation contains no mineral cf any kind ; no deadly botanical element ; no fiery excitant ; but is a combination cf the extracts of rare balsamic herbs and plants, with tbe purest and mildest of all didusive stimulants. The week stomach is rapidly invigorated, and the appetite restored by this tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dyspepsia, and in less confirmed forms of .Indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aprieut, as well as upon the liver, it also invariably re lieves tbe Constipation superinduced by ir regular action -of the digestive and secretive orgar.3. Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervor.s Attacks, Lowues3 cf Spirits, end Fits cf Languor, find promot and permament relief from tbe Bitters. The testimony oo this point is conclusive, and from both sexes. As a Genuine Tonic, HOSTETTER'S BIT TERS produce effects which must be experi enced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated. In cases ot Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay, and Debility and Decrepitude arising trom old age, it ex ercises the electric influence. In the conva lescent stfirres cf ail rlisPiiss it rinnratw as a delightful invigorant. When tbe powers cf uaiurc are reiitieu, n operates lo le-cmorce and re-establish them. Last, lwt not least, it is the only safe stim ulant, being manufactured from" sound and raffcuous m'ateruds, and entirely free from the acrid elements , present more or less in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of the dav SOLD EVERYWHERE.
