JOHN SCHMIDT, Carpenter and Wagon Makkk. Canyon City, Oregon. , Dealer in Hardwood, Spokes and Felloes, Furniture. ZJhairs, Paints, Glass, and WlNDOV-SASn. ; About a n nnth ago a woman name uned Mary Francis Cubing, about 20 years of age. living at Union Mills, Clacka mas county, 'was brought to j this city and taken to St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment. About seven weeks :tgo she gave birth to a child and immedi ately afterwards Mrs. Cubing com menced to act in such a manner as to cnus- her husband and friends to believe that she was sullering from a mild form of dementia, and caused them great uneasines3jy her sudden ftdiap pearance fro.a home. On one occasion, it. was after midnight before any trace of her could be t jtind. Jn the hope that a change would restore her to peace and tranquility, she was brought to St. Vincent's and placed under the I carc ; nhu """""S '"S 1' thllfc institution. She v.a,s laeed in the fe unle ward, occupying Ited K . 5, and for the j)ast twenty-one days has lain in a tranc", h r intellectual powers and sen-e of touch :r feeling haviijg been emiivly suspended. 'JMie vital func tion do not appear to be aftVctod. but were it nt for an occasional twitching of the eyelids the woman would present the appearance of being deid. Efforts have been made to restore the woman ' to consciousness, but in vain; her hands. fe and Ivnly liavo been punctured by pin?; ;ind neeHc- without the tlightest iafparei shou of pain on her part, and every remedy known has been applied in tt.e hope that the woman would be orou-ed from htr prolong, d lethargic slumber.

As a wife and mother, woman can make the fortune and happiness of her hus band and children, and, if she did nothing else, surelv this would bestifii ci :ut destiny. J3y her thrift, prudence and tnct she can secure t her partner and to herself a comnetencv in old age, no matter how small a. beginning or how adverse a fate may bo theirs. Bv her ehecrfullness she can restore her husband's spirit shaken by the anxiety of business. ly her tjnder care she can often rest re him to health if disease has overtasked his powers. Uy her counsel and lovj; she can win him from bad company if temp tation in an evil hour has led him astray. By her examples, her precepts aid her S'x's insight into chiractor she can mold her children, however adverse their dis position5, intT noble men and women. Aral by, leading in all things a true and beautiful life, she can refine, elevate and spiritulize all who come within reach: so that, with others of her ex emulating and assisting her. she can do more to re generate the world than all the states men or reformers that ever legi lated. She cat) do much, atas ! perhaps more to degrade man if she chooses to do it. Who can estimate the evils that woman has the power to do ? As a wife she can ruin horse1 f by extra vaganee. folly or want of affection. She can m i:e. a demon or an outcast of a man whytight otherwise iMicome a good member of so. cie'v. She can biing bickerings, strife and discord into what has been a h tppy home. She can change llo innocent babes into vile men and even into vil wencn. She can lower the moral ones of cneirty itself, and thus pollute legisla tion at the sprimr head. She can. in fine, become an instrument of evil in stead of an angel of good. Instead of ma kin :r flowers of truth, purity, beauty and spirituality snriuu up. in her foot tupa. till the e;vth smiles with a Joveli nes that is almost celestial, she can transform it into a black and arid desert, cove'ed with the so un of all evil passions and swept bv the bitter blast of everlast ing death. This h what woman can do for the wrong a- well as for the riirht. H her mission a little one lias she im worthy work as ha5 1 ecome the cry of hte I 3Ian may have a harder tisk to perform, a rou:h mud to trael. but he has none loftier or more influential than woman's. London Journal. The Knst Oregon ian says: Abnut. the midd'c ol' the summer t wo enter prising men by the name of P. T. San ders and d.

Alter weeks of privation and toil they brought up at the noi th fork of dohn Dav's river, about ten miles above Texas Bar. Xow this stream tms been inined more or less since 1805. and had never thus far proved remunerative, notwithstanding the gold ws worth IS ami 10 dollars per ounce, every one who had undertaken it had left sooner or later in disgust. These men had tried everywhere, and finally concluded as a last resort; to go to the bedrock in one of the numerous prospect holes on one of the bars that had been abandoned years ago they commenced and sunk about six j'eet and struck bedrock, and better yet. struck gold in paying quan tities. After rocking out several dol lars and satisfying themselves that the mines were good, they came into the county seatto record their claims and purchase supplies. While here, they informed Mr. J. ITathawav of their luck and futureprospects, whose imagin ation was soon wrought up to the high est point. Dreaming nights, of untold wealth lying buried in the solitude of the Blue Mountains.

It was the first case of this nature that has been brought to trial in the territory and therefore elicited more than uuusauai attention. Tt was viewed by many as a test eae, antl was watched with ordin ary interest. The ease was ably proe- outed and as ably defended, and after a brief delay the jury gave a verdict for Brown.

The carpenter, to be a good trades man, must always be prepared for work; he should have his hammer in his pock et, and hi nails at his' lingers ends. Carpenters are not famous for beauty. Take twenty mechanic5, all plain, and the carpenter would certainly be a "deal izluo and faten a "rabbet" to a door pest. When old carpenters get past work they frequently amuse themselves by singing 'The days when we went chip seeing, a long time ago." Ethnologists say there is in existence an entire tribe of savage carpenters; the' are called fOh-chip-away Indi ans." 1 1 is a matter for great surprise that I carpenters who ,a3t most upon the :vquare'' arc the very ones who are ofrenest before the bench.
