T hs T hird i t I s o s r is n x s c f.— From the Secretary oi the Committee o f Arrangements for the National Jubilee at Independence we learn that the various committees are at work in earnest, and the event is bound to be a suc cess. Our riverside friends are an enterprising, go-ahead community, and a hat they undertake cannot be a future. Tbe Albany brass band has been secured f»r the occasion, so that tbe public can depend on hearing the best of music discoursed. Everybody is expected to bring along a basketful o f provisions, as everybody’s friends are expected to be present. Prepara tions are bring made on a scale to afford a comfortable reception to all tbe people of this and other counties who may choose to partici pate ir tbe celebration. Let no man leave Folk county to celebrate this coming anniversary elsewhere, if it can be possibly avoided. Re member July 3d at Independ. nee. T h ask v —Our friend 9am. C. Stiles made us a present of a fine buggy whip last week We fu'lv appreciate his kindne.s. but are almost at a loss «hat to do with it. It places us in a similar predicament to the Irishman who was presented with a fine trunk : “ And what will I do with it? ” asked Pat. “ Why,” answered the donor, “ put your clothes in it, to be sure !” — “ W bat. and go naked?” innocently responded Pat. This is just about our fix. Now can’t some good soul follow Sam’ s generous example srd j reset t us with a fine horse and buggy? We should then have a complete outfit. Sam has lots of tbe same kind of whips for sale, and those more fortunate than ourselves tn bav ing something to use them on, will do well to call at bis shop.

L egal F c n — On Wednesday morning quite a numhir o f tl.e legal fraternity left town for Dixie, armed and equipped with tbe neeeetary opp>iauc«i to vindicate tbe majesty o f outraged law. Three cases were involved—one for vio lation of the Sunday law, another the license law, and the third for assault. We noderstand tbe scenes in Justice Dempsey’s Court were highly amu-iog, the efforts of some o f our young practitioners rivaling that of Seargeant Buifuz in tbe celebrated trial o f “ Rardell vs. Pickwick.” Of eouise complete justice was done, the law vindicated, aud certain plethoric purses depleted, to tbe general satisfaction of all but tbe culprits. B eautiful F lowehs .— In our perambula tions in and about Dallas nothing has delighted our senses more than tbe collection ef flora* treasures that surround tbe residence e f Mr. Etnmens. on the upper end of Main s’ reet. Thrir beautifully eariesrated tints and tbeir mingled fragrance almost make one imagine himself in Mohamad's Paradise. A home so surrounded, eannot be otherwise than a happy one. There ark other beautiful collections in the neighbor hood, so we are informed, but as they are more secluded from public view we are not able to pronounce on their merits.

P ersonal .— Our eld friend,0. C. Applegate, Esq., of Jackson county, made us a friendly call ou Thursday. He is on a visit to his broth* er, whose Lume is auto! g us. Mr. Applegate reports everything flourishing iu Rogue Hirer valley. OREGON NEWS. The Unionist learns from Mr. William Cox, just from Jacksonville, that a series of severe thunder storms passed over Rogue R.ver Valley during Sunday and Monday of last week. On Sunday, the 13th inst., M r.Jas Kilgore's barn was struck by lightning. The shock was heavy enough to ki 1 a bog which was in tbe barn at the time. The next day a bouse in the town of Jacksonville was struck. The electric current passed through one corner o f the building and tore off the baseboard. Many trees in the neigh borhood were struck. The storm was the heav iest that has ever been known in that section. The 0. C. Enterprite says : W. II Vaughn, father of tbe boy Frank Vaughn, who was ad mitted to bail in the sum o f $ 8,000 for his ap pearance to answer for the killing of A. D. Larkin, has also been held to appear at the next term of tbe Circuit Court to answer the charge of assault upon Supervisor Harrison Wright, with a dangerous weapon, or intent to kill, we are not positive which. Tbe Mountaineer says: The dead body o f a man supposed to be U. F. Mitchell, a German, was found floating in tbe river on Monday last. It is thought be committed suicide, as he bad been partially insane for a long time. He leaves a wife and children in Grand Konde valley. According to Portland papers, a little s»n of Mr. John Donovan, aged about seven years, was drowned in the Willamette river, Dear tbe upper sawmill, last Saturday afternoon. Tbe little fellow attempted to jump from one log to another, and fell between them. The body was recovered a couple ot hours afterward. On last Sunday, says the Democrat, Mrs. Smith, of Harrisburg, was taken off by that fatal scourge which has been robbing so many homes of their loved and cherished inmates du ring the past few weeks. Ws learn that Mrs. Matthew Fountain, o f Harrisburg, ia lying dangerously ill with the same disease. It seems almost impossible for the skill o f physicians to check is destructive career. We are informed, says tho Farmer, that tbe road on the new survey, on the Walker hill, leading from Bethel, in Polk county, to Salem, is now open, and in good order for travel. It is »aid to be shot ter than tbe old route. About seventy-five claims have been taken up in Goose Lake valley, and about 300 acres of grain have been sown. A saw mill is being erected, aud lumber is much needed. The Corvailis Uaxette says that on Tuesday of last week two meu, J Uuun.ky and a ftieud named Fox, Wcreridtug through towu iu a bug gy, when their horse took fright, aud running uway, caused both men to be thrown out, tbe buggy to he upset aud badly damaged, aud tLe botse to tail, breaking his neck. Fox escaped unhurt, but Uuuu.ky bad an arm dislocated, aud was other wise badly bruised. Tbe Uniuniet says that Salem has advanced three-fold iu population in tbe spaee of five On the 31st of lost month a party o f forty dissenters, under the leadership of Mr. Warren Walling, late President of the Joseph wing of the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City, arrived at Corinne, the greater portion of them eoming from Malad valley, and the balance from Salt Lake City and vicinity. They chartered a car from tbe compauv, for which they paid $1,400, and provided themselves with all tbe necessaries required for the trip. They propose settling in Nebraska, on the Missouri river, near Omaha. They are Mormons, but not polygamists, aod the Reporter says they will make good citisens wherever they may settle. Other parties are about to follow. A new discovery o f coal has been made in Snohomish county, W. T., which prospects re markably well.

The men avoided any contact with (hem and were not attacked, but tbeir presence awsy from the forts is suspicious and they should be attended to by the military. A redwood log, two fret in dlamrtar, was Strunk, recently, at a depth of over 200 feet below the sea level, in boring an artesian well upon the place of Judge Billing«, in Santa Clara, California. When that log was growing the ground upon which it stood must have been at least 250 feet higher than It now is. Ex-Chief Justice Bowers o f Idaho has brought suit against Chief Justice Nogg’e to test the right of the latter to assume the office which he now holds by appointment of tbe President and confirmation o f tho Senate.

Such people seem to forgit to take in consideration that our country is increasing in population nearly 40 per cent, every ten years, and no matier how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to other parts, and strangers fill their places. Iu this age o f tbe world, unless th« name o f a business firm is kept constantly before the public, some new firms may -tart up. and, by liberally advertising, in a very short time take the place o f th« older one«, and the latter rust ••ut, as it were, and be forgotten. No man ever lost money by judici *us advertising. P ain is supposed to be the lot o f us poor mortals as inevitable as d ath, and liable at any time to come upon us. Therefore it is im portant that remedial agents shouln be at hand to be used on any emergency, when we are m ide to feel tbe excruriating agonies o f pain, or the the depressing influence of disease. Such a remodial agent exists in the “ Pain Killer,” the fame o f which has extended over all the earth. Amid the eternal tree o f the Polar region, or beneath the hurt ing eun o f the tropics, its virtues are known and appreci ated. The effect of the Pain Killer upon the patiml, when taken internally in cases of colds, cougis, bowel complaints, cholera, dys •ntnry, and other affections o f the system, has been truly wonderful, and has wan tor it a name am >ng medical preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in rera >ving ain, as an external remedy, in cases of barns, raises, sores, cuts, sprains, sting of insects, and other causes o f suffering, has secured for it the most prominent position among tbe medi cines o f the day. f i f f * 6 «W 4 n o f counterfeits and worthless imitations.

As such, do they not deserve the favor and patronage o f that public to whose interests they have devoted their energies ? Newspapers, by enhancing tbe value of property iu their neighborhood, and giving toe locality in which they are pub lished a reputation abroad, benefit all, particu larly if they are merchants or real estate own ers, thrice the amount yearly o f the sum they pay for their support. Besides, every spirited citizen has a laudable pride o f having a paper o f which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good-looking, thriving, live newspaper helps to sell property, gives character to tbe locality, and in all respects is a desirable public con venience. If, from any cause, the matter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it o f no account, until you are satis fied that there has been no m >re lah .r bestowed upon it than is paid for. If you want a good readable sheet, it must be supported. Tbe local press is tbe “ power that moves the pe> pie.” The Virginia, Nevada, Enterprite e f Jane 13th, givee the following for the benefit o f San Francisco merchants; Wertheimer, cigar and tobacco merehant o f this eity, has cat the nota ble example of importiag directly from the East.
