Zl)t ttkckln (Enterprise. TOWS A AO COI.VTV. Mr. Leonard Diller will give a public cotillion party on Christmas Ere. in this city. The steamer Xcw World will commence running from San Fran cisco to Vallejo about the 10th of December. . If you want to buy any holiday presents, or other good goods, cheap, please call at the store of I. Selling, where yon will be certain to get the Value of your money. The employees on the O. C. H. K, at the mills, in this county, en joyed a most excellent dinner on the 26th, ot their mess house. They hare one of the best cooks in the State. -Ilev. Mr. Sellwood will begin on adult class in vocal music at the Court House on Thursday evening next, (December 10th) at 7 o'clock Tickets can be had at the Postoffice ou Monday. ' - The Sabbath School scholars of the M. Church, at this city, will give an exhibition on the evening of December 17th, 1SGS, for the bene lit of the School. The exhibition will consist of exercises usual in such case?, aud will commence at 7 o'clock, v. M. . Mr. Wot. B. Partlow, of tbi city. Will p!caS6 accept our thanks for choice cWer, left at this office. Mr. Partlow has redeemed ene of the fine farms of Clackamas county, nd made it blossom as the rose, from which place this cider comes as one of the home productions. Thanks. The Wenat, having been .thor oughly overhauled and refitted, took her place in the line of the Walla met 'Company on Monday last. We now have four boats daily to Portland, except on Sundays, when the Ahrt only runs to carry the mail. mm 4- A man who has been employed upon ttic llaaroad in this county, shot himself at Canemah on the morning of the 4th. His name was Coonis. He bore the name of being a man of good character. The shot was from a Henry rifle and entered the forehead, passing through the head causing iustaut death. An inquest was held over the remains by Coroner Dr. Barclay, and a Verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. . Mr. C. Deardorff, of Damascus, h;is left -at our office samples of the productions -of his farm, which chal . letijre 'comparison in the line of flavor, us compared to size. Usually over grown vegetables are net relished so well as medium- his must be medium then as W2 think them as finely iliivored and as tender, whilst much j larger than the ordinary, lie raised j 'of the orange carrots this year, from out) to 40U bushels per acre ; and Kme 'of them measure at least 24 inches in leng'th, by foar inches aver age diameter. . - At&o'Dgst the many articles ready tor s'uipaie.nl at the Wallamet Iron Works, we observed a large water; v heel, of the Trullingcr patent. These wheels bear a plate inscribed with the date of the patent, the name. etc. This is of course Eubnlerged, but should we, in the lapse of time, be come extiuct, some fdttire antiquavian may pick if up, aud instead of con struing it to be and aerolite, or som-e-liing of that kind, can tell his gen eration intelligently what he sees be fore him. On Wednesday last the team of a Mr. Garret backed otrthe wharf in .this city, ruining the wagon to which they were attached, but fortunately .doing no serious dimago to the horses. The wago 1 was loaded, and .a part of the freight was damage!. Vilhai; cf this county, raa away, damaging both horses and wagon badly, li'hqir course lay up river, .from Oregon City to Canemah, and they made good :time. A few days ago a team upset a wagon on the ' -bluff west of tie river, throwing load and all down a steep :for a distance f over thirty feet.. We are not without casualties iu dull tknes. - , About three o'clock on Wednes day morning, the McLaughlin House in this city was entered by a burglar who first explored the dining room and kitchen, and captured all the eat ables he could find. He Uim pur sued his investigations into some of the leepi-H so&rtmeut. in nr. -f which he seized the pantaloons of a Mr, McCaun, and rilled the pockets of their contents in cash, lie then jiroccedej to explore the room of Mr. Terry McLaughlin, but just as he was about to leave, the sleeper awoke aud -comprehending the situation, gave chase, at tho same time raising an alanrj. There were two of the scoun drels, one of them remaiuing on the outside to keep watch. As the first burglar rushed out, pursued by the lodger, this outside man fired at the pursuer and eventually - took to his neels. The affair created some up roar, but it was soon rjaieted, every body returning again to bed. About an Lour later, the doors were agaiu Jned from the outside, it is supposed )" the saoje scoundrels ;'but the iand- Ahcins on lue alert tbe7 gke waddled. 4. fevr nigbts ago'oneof railroad camps was robbed of all ihe gru.u tlie inarauacrs couj jay Vueir hands upoq. There is a general jompkmt from all the towns above Stv are iufested ,f Pai5's v y y lbleves and house breakers, and W e?ou City is uo exception. The dentists have been holding a convention for the purpose of de vising some means whereby they can all pull together. :.. l . . There are some queer inscrip tions upon letters at the Postoffice in this city, and some unlawfully stamped which remain uncalled for by the parties who deposited them there. A number of letters remain at the office of Wells, Fargo & Co., id this city, uncalled for. A new boat has just been com, pleted and put into operation at Boone's ferry, on the Wallamet, which is much larger, lighter, and more serviceable than the old one. This is now the popular overland route to Salem from Portland, simply because of the horrid roads above Oregon City. Mr. Eugene Semple passed through this city on Sunday last, en route to San Francisco, there to pur chase materials for a hew Democratic paper at Portland, to be published by Patterson & Semple. Tnis new enterprise has probably forced the recent changes in the Herald. Prepared Coffke. The new ad vertisement of J. F. Jones & Co., corner of Second and Main streets, Portland, in our paper to-day, speaks of another article of home production to which we desire to ask special at tention, of our readers. ... The coffee prepared by Messrs. Jones & Co., is certainly superior to any other brand. The demand for it where it has been introduced, as well as the words of those who use it commend it to all. Ask for this quality of coffee, and if your grocer has none on hand, com-, bine to have him send for some on trial. We recommend Jones' Coffee. The Odd Fellows. The past year has been one of the most pros perous for Odd Fellows in the history of the order. From reports presented at the recent session of the Grand Lodge, says the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Union, which we find summarized in the October number of the American Odd Fellow, we learn that the num ber of new lodges organized was over three hundred, aud of initiations of new members, forty thousand, the number of lodges being now about 3,200, and of contributing members, 250,000. The receipts of , the order reached the immense amount nf $2,350,000, and the amotmt disbursed for relief was a trifle over seven hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, showing a good condition of merm bers not needing rclieT, as well as of the order in being able to afford three times as much relief as was called for. The tJrand Lodge gave a higher de gree of prominence than it has before enjoyed to the degree of ltebekah (women's degree) by authorizing the institution of Kebekah Lodges, with their own separate officers, rules, and treasuries. The prohibition against the admission of candidates who have lost a limb was modified so as to leave the matter discretional with the subordinate lodges. This is of inters est to disabled soldiers, who were ex cluded under the old rule. " TI13 26th of April next being the uflieth anni versary of the establiah.nent of Odd Fellowship iu America, is to be hon ored with a grand semi centennial na tional celebration at Philadelphia. -- Mr. II. H. Johnston, City As sessor, has completed the assessment of property iu Portland for the year 1SG8. The following statement of totals is published Value of lana ' Value of lots. . Personal property 2,5y2,Sl5 Indebtedness... 430,220 Total prop'ty subject tax. 4,COO,7GO In 1867 the totals were as follows: Value of land.. 88,925 Value of lots. v 2,147,040 Personal property...... 2,271,800 Indebtedness.. ........ v 235, 173 Total prop'ty subject tax. 4,271,190 A comparison of these figures will show some results interesting to prop erty holders, says the Oregonian. Tbe increase in the value of lands is $4,175. Lots have increased in value $227,125 ; personal property, $321, 105. The indebtedness of property holders has nearly doubled, having increased $255,045, or nearly as much as the increase in the value of lots. The total increase of property subject to taxation is only $320,570 a much smaller figure than most people would have guessed. Though a large portion of the indebtedness shown, is that of wholesale merchants for stocks of winter goods and will be greatly reduced before spring, the figures are too large, and show that our people are getting too much in the way of doktg business on credit.

''Don't Bki.ikve in- Am-ERTisiN-c:TIrti following from art esttiange upon this sub ject expresses our Sentiments, and we therefore give it o our readers" in full : " The man Who;.' oesn"t believe in adver tisftig' ii all the while doing What he de precates. He hangs coats outside of Li door, or puts dry goods in his windows that's advertising. He lias printed cards lying 6a his counter tiMt's advertising. He sends out drummers through the coun try, or puts liU name on his wagon that's advertising. He labels his articles or his manufactures that's advertising. If he Las lost his cow. lie puts a Written notice in tho Post Offices, or tells his sister-in-law-and that's advertising, lob". He: has his name put up in gilt letters over his door what is that but advertising? He paints his shop green or red ; or if a tailor, he wears the latest styles ; if a doctor, he has the boys call him out of church in haste ; if an auctioneer, he belluws to at tract the attention ot pasiers-by ; if a heavy merchant, he keep a huge pile of boxes on Ins sidewalk in front of his store and all for (ulcertising. A man can't do business without advertising, and the question is, whether to call to his aid the engine that moves the world the printing press, with it3 thousands of messengers working night and day, the steam engines adding to its repeating capacity untold power and miraculous speed ; or, reject ing all there, to go back to the days when newspapers, telegraphs and railroads were unEnown. "But advertising costs money!" So does everything that is worth having. If advertising cost nothing, all the second, third and fourth class petty shops would .stand nn equal chance with the moat respdtiSible house. If you want to prove to the world that 3 0111s is a first-class es tablishment, advertise! i"All citizens 01 Uregon who desire to inform their friends in the old States of the condition and progress. of this State, can hare no more complete and compre hensive volume of facts to send them than by subscribing for this journal, and hav ing us mail it weekly to their friends.

I con tracted chills and fever, which brought me to my bed, and finally terminated in typhoid fever, aiid cohtirJPd uie to my roout for sev eral tiiontliSj during which time 1 was so prostrated that I almost despaired of ever recovering health; having entirely lost my appetite, ' for days not being able to eat a morsel ; added o- which I was much dis tressed with a reeling sensation in my head, and passed many sleepless nights till from debility caused by my, prostrate condition, brought about by the fever. - At this stage Of my condition a friend recommended lue to use vour celebrated Stomach Bitters : but being morally opposed to the use of stimu lants i n any fbrm4 1 ut tirst declined, hut afterwards yielded mv prejudices, and after th? medicine for several weeks as directed, my appetite returned, and with it I am rap idly regaining my former strength and vigor.
