Frank Cooper was in town on Wednesday. He is doing very much more to develop the resources of this county than most men are ready to give hira credit for. The Apollo Minstrels gave a " first rate'' entertainment at Wash ington Hall, on Tuesday evening and at the request of numerous citi zens will appear again to night with an entire change of programme. . It has been suggested and we consider the suggestion a wise one that there is a very urgent want of libor iipon the cross walks of his city, by the chain gang. To city in Oregon, we opine, has more filthy utreets than Oregon City, just now. Clean up, gentlemen. UncIeanlN ness is next to ungodliness. A meeting of the directors of the Wallamet Falls Canal and Lock Company, was held in this city yes terday, when measures were adopt d which . will probably lead to the commencement of active operations upon the works of the Company at an early day.

Meeting held in this city m Saturday evening last, bnt yester days comments in the Oregontax compels us to say, for the benefit of all outside of Oregon City, that the nutter is looked upon here as only a local movement in revival of the lust spirits of Democracy. We are as sured by Mr. Jacobs that the resolu tions appearing elsewhere are with out foundation in fact that no white man has been discharged to give place to Chinese in the factory, but that some certain employees who are constantly harassing the managers may be discharged if they continue to give the Company trouble. We were not present at the meeting, and do not endorse the movement. Mr. W. W. Sheldon, from Mil! Samp No. 2, O. C. II. 11. Co , in this county, called upou us on Wednes day.

There are now some thnje hundred of them carried on our line, and we consider them good and reliable time keepers. In deed, I have great satisfaction in saying your watches give us less trouble, and have worn and do wear much longer without re pairs than any watchas we have ever had in use on this road. As you &re aware we for merly trusted to those of English manufac ture, of acknowledged good reputation, but as a class they nver kept time as correctly, nor have they done as good service as yo'irs. In these statements I 11111 sustained by my predecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience extended over a series of years. Respectfully, F.D WARD WILLIAMS. General Superintendent. American Watch Company, Waltham. Neio York Central Railroad. Locomotive Department, Wcxtem Dirixion, liochethr, Dec. istjij. S Gentlemen: I have nwhesitation in saying that I believe the great majority of locomo tive engineers have found by experience that Waltham Watches are the most satisfactory of any for their uses. Thev run with the J greatest accuracy and steadiness, notwith standing the romzh riding of an engine, and, as I have never known one to wear out, they must be durable. I hope to see the time when railway companies will generally adopt your watches, and furnish them to ail engineers and conductors. In my opinion it would greatly tcud to promote regularity and safety. Yours respectfully, CHARLES WILSON, G. Chief Engineer, Urothcrhood of Locomotive En gineers. American Watch Company, Waltham.

DISTINCTLY BORNE IX mind that BOSTETTER'S BITTERS is a MEDICINAL. PREPARATION, pot beverage, and that it is entirely free from the attributes which create and foster a pas sion for stimulants, and which belong to all the distilled and fomented liquors of cojn mercej. It alcoholic element is deriyed from sound rye, a grain which, according to tlie testimony of the most distinguished analyti cal ehemjstsyields a moro wholesome spirit thau any o'.her known substance. But the QUINTESSENCE OF RYE employed in the manufacture- of the Bitters, must not be c& fouuded with the rye spirit sold in the mar ket as Bourbon ana Mouongahela Whisky. The very best braujjs of those liquor pro cured forAhospital use, and preferred by tljie Medical Staffs ot the Army and Javy to any other liquor, are not to be compared in ex cellence with the article used in the concoc tion of the, GREAT STOMACHIC. It is subjected, in the first instance, to a proces which deprives it of the pungent and acrid elements proved by chemical test to exist ia even what are deemed Jhe finest imported and domestic spirits, and after being thua purified, is kept cu hand long enough to give it mellowness before being medicated. The chief virtue of the preparations is not, however, in its spirituous basis, but. in tle juices of the tonic, aperient, corrective and antibilious vegetable products so largely intermixed with it. Perhaps, it may be ursed, that if .they im part to the alcoholic fluid its preventive and remedial qualities, water impregnated with, the same ingredients would answer the pur pose as well, - ..Nothing- but profound izno rance of the laws of physiology and patho logy can excuse such an error. Only by , a difi'usible stimulant can the medicinal con stituents, that are to fortify the system against disease, or counteract diseased ac tion, be convej-cd directly to their destina tion. The stimulant rapidly pervades the animal structure, carrying with it to "the points where it is needed, the required anU dota. VV ater will not do this. It has, com paratively speaking, no propelling or diffu sive power. Nor 13 this all. Nothing but alcohol .will preserve the medicinal property of. 'vegetable extracts iu a fluid. state. Mix them ..with water and the compound wilt ferment, turn sour and become worse than valueless. . (. Jt is claimed that HOSTETTER'S Errl TLRs commend thejmeives to th special favor of the Temperance Physician, as the only diffusive stimulant which be can pre scribe without danger of unduly exciting . the brain of his patient, and pf creating that morbid thirst for alcohol which doses of un medtcated spirits are so apt to engender. . To argue -.Vtth the .dogmatists who assert that sti implants are always r'nnressary an pernicious, would be a waste of time. Tho most eminent lich'fs of Medical Science have settled that question, anc it. is not worth while to have a coniro'firy w?th the rush light. The leading champions of temper? nice in the United States, Horace Greeley among the number," have announced that they are not in .favor. of prohibiting the .em ployment of spirituous liquors us medi cines. So in udi for the monl claims of the arti cle nudeT.ttie temperance code. The ground being thus cleared, and.it is . hoped, , tq the satisfaction of every lational champion of sobriety, the specific application of the. Bit ters to the prevention and cure of the " ills that flesh is heir to," corned next in order. - i Peasons whose. lives are peculiarly seni tive are said to be of a "bilious ln-bit." The morbid influences' which affect others, in a general way, seem in their cases to operate directly and mainly upou the biliary organ. Many who are thus predisposed to an over flow of bile are subject to periodical attacks of biliousness, accompanied by pain in the right side, languor, pain between the should ers, gloomy feelings, and that peculiar, tinge of the complexion which indicates that u portion of the bile'wbich should have passed oil' through the bowels, has been misdirected to the venous system,.ind is present in ...the superficial bloodvessels. To avert these symptoms, and the general'disorder of the' internal organs, which they involve, it is ad visable for individuals of a' biliov.s habit to. take at 'east two doses of HOSTETTER'S DlTTE! duf!y at sul'5 times as thev have 'reasou- to apprVheud an attack. Indeed, all" who have a constitutional and temperamen tal tendency to liver complaints, would do well to take a dose of this admirable ANTI BILIOUS STOMACHIC everyday.' When the great secretive gland is seriously disor dered, the medicine usually resorted to is mercury, which, unless administered with very great caution, is infinitely more dan gerous than the disease it is intended to' subdue. In a large majority of tlie case treated with calomel, or blue pill, the anti bilious and alterative properties of the Bit-' tors would produce tlie desired effect' And let it be borne in. mipd Ljiat, whereas mercury in every shape is :m insidious poison, the medicinal ingredients of this preparation', consist exclusively of hole-some vegetable extracts, which are diffused through the sv.stem b. means of the purest and mildest1 of all known stimulants. , . . .
