Democratic Covsty Nominations. The persons put in nomination for county officers for this county, at the Democratic County Convention, held in Dallas on Saturday the 19th inst, were : For Representatives to the "Legislature, Benj. llayden, R.

EcnooL Meetisg.- Notices have been post d throughout this district calling for a meet ing of the voters of the district to assemble on the 4th of April, for the elcetion of ore School Director and a District Clerk. As that is the date fixed by law for the annual school meet ling, each elections will transpire in each dis trict throughout tho county. In this district it is desirable that everybody interested in schools should be present, as the subject of building a district school honiJc will probably fce considered. j Over the Mocxtaixs. Mr. John Waymire cnt a man out yesterday toward Tillamook, to ee if any intelligence could be gained of tho whereabouts of his son and 'sons-in-law, who ctartcd from this place, with their families, About three weeks since, intending to pass over the mountains to Tillamook. No news have been received from the party since it left,' and as it is known that a heavy snow storm pre vailed shortly afterward, some concern is felt for their safety. It is hoped, however, that the dangerous part of the road was passed be- fore the storm. Since then no mails have been received from there. Delegates. Tho Republican , voters of Dallas precinct assembled in primary conven- ' tion last Saturday, and were called to order . by Judge Collins, Chairman of the County Central Committoo. On motion of W. C. - Whltson, Judge Collins was chosen Chairman of the Convention, B. F. Niehola was chosen Secretary, and D, M. C. Oault Assistant Secre tary. The Convention then proceeded to elect, by ballot, ten delegates to attend tho County Convention. The gentlemen elected were E. Y. lUUeelc W. C. WMtson, Dr. jlludfon, Asa Sbrevc, B. F. Nichols, M. M. Dodson, F. M? Sebrin, T. B. Newman, "j. D. Loo and J. M. Scott. A Tho delegates fioin Eola precinct are J. C. Allen, II. M. Clark, J. II. Chitwood, T. Poarce, and J. II. Chapman. Salt Lake precinct J. C. Cooper, Q. W. Brownson and Harvey Butler. Bridgeport Isaac Smith, II. Helms, J. Gil- lam, Jos. Stanley and John Hydo. Tho names of the delegates from the other precincts have not bean received yet. " A New Industrial JouRNAL.--Tho Tech nologist is the title of a new Industrial Jour nal, devoted to Engineering, Manufacturing, and Building, that comes to us freighted with valuablo articles. Tho distinguishing feature of this Journal is the fact that all the Arti cles and Illustrations are , original no clip pings or old engravings being used.. The pub lishers further pledgo themselves that no ad vertising articles (that is, no descriptive puffs of worthless iuventions) shall bo inserted in Us columns under any cireuintanccs whatever; and, if they fulfil this pledge, they will cer tainly do a grand thing for the industrial jour nalism of tho country, for every intelligent mechanic knows that indiscriminate puffing is tho bane of our mochanical and so-called sci entific periodicals. ' The number before us consists of forty-four large pages, and it is printed on very superior paper, and in tho bust style of the typographic art. Altogether, it is the finest looking jour nal of practical science now before the public. The articles, too, are of unusual cxcellencef and contain matter calculated to instruct and interest all clashes. The titles of a few of tho subjocls 'discussed aro Technological Educa tion, Tempering Steel, Trial of Steam Engines, Improvement in Distillation, Sunless and Air less Dwellings, the Measurement of Electrical Resistance, Vision and tho Stereoscope, the Walks of New York Central Park, East River Bridge Caissons, the Microscope, Lessons on Drawing, Relation of Technology to Insurance, etc., etc. The yearly subscription is two dol litis and tho price of single numbers twenty cent, a sum that seems ridiculously small when compared with the character and size of the journaj. It must reqoire an enormous cir culation to make the enterprise pay at these figures, and it is pleasant to see that the pub lishers have sufficient faith in our American workingmcn to lead them to undertake it. The Technologist is issuod monthly by the Industrial Publication Company, whose office is at 17(5 Broadway, New .York. Every me chanic ought to send for at least ona number of Ibis journal. If t'uoy sood for one, it will be strange if they do not send for the others. III CI). At the family residence, on the Luckiamufe, March 22d. Smith Collins, .aged 65 year ,two months and 21 dv?. IN M CM OH I AM. Father Collins ii dea.l. No morfewill his patient voice be heard in counsel of warning in this world. II U- suffering spirit ha passed to the other wurl l, and we who are left bebiod tarry a little longer before our summons comes. Smith Collins was born in Orange coanty, Virginia, in Doceuiber, 1801. In 1S28 he emi grated to Missouri, where be lived until be moved to Oregon, in IS16. lie arrived here, in tho then wilderness, in the fall of that year, and early in the spring of 1 847 settled the land claim on which be resided up to the time of his death.' In IS60 he was prostrated by a severe attack of rheumatism, since when be has been a helpless invalid. Through all his terrible suffering and pain he manifested a rare resignation to the rulings of the omnipo tent, and patiently waited the calling of his God. THE FATHER'S DEATH. As die tho embers on the hearth, And o'er tho floor the sha-lows fall, And creeps the chirping cricket forth. And ticks the de.itb-w.Uch in the wall I see a form fn yonder chair, That grows beneath the waning light There are the wan, sad features there Tho pallid brow, and locks of white! My Father ! when they labl thee down, And heap'd the clay upon by breast, And left thee sleeping all alone Upon thy narrow ouch of rest I know not why, I could not weep The soothing drops refused to roll, And oh ! that grief M wild and deep, Which settles tearless on the soul ! But when I saw thy vacant chair- Thine idle hat upon the wall Thy book the pencil'd passage where Thine eye had rested last of all ; The tree beneath whoso friendly shade Thy trembling feet had wandcr'd forth The very print those feet had made ; When last they feebly trod the earth ; And thought, while countless ages fled, Thy vacant seat would vacant stand Unworn thy hat, thy book unread, Effaced thy footsteps from the sand -And widow'd in the cheerless world. The heart that gave its love to thee Torn, like a vine whoso tendrils curl'd More closely round the falling tree ! Oh, father! then for her and thee Gush'd madly forth the scorching tears; And oft, and long, and bitterly, . Those tears have gush'd in later years p For as tho world grows cold around, And things take on their real hue, 'Tis Bad to learn that love is found Alone above the stars, with you ! STATE ITEMS. In regard to the navigaton of the Uinpnua river, the Ensinn says: In telligence from Gardner! reports the safe arrival of the tbwantkt that place on Wednesday. No serious casualties occurred on the downward trip, which but for several delays, would have been easily made in one day. Lt is reported that Captain Ilaun will shortly examine tho river betwen this place and Can yonvillo up the rivbr to ascertain how far it is ppssiblo tg navigate the riypr with profit.

A Mr. Cundiff, of Albany, has taken the contract fur the mason work, which will be commenced next week. v The school fund of Douglas county to be apportioned this year is $5,G".J G3, of which $3,144 84 is coin, and S2, 514 70 greenbacks; an increase of $1, 318 80 over the fund of last year. The Ensian says: " This increase. is mainly owinj; to greater promptness and dili jrenco ou the part of the Treasurer in collecting interest on the outstanding notes of the school fund." The Economy of the Present tratluiu Admlns- II )w is it now, fellow citizens, with the Republican party ? Have they no claims to nonesty ana ccomony in the At!. .. 9 rri . . puuuc auairs: i ney nave been in power eleven month, and I can show the account of their work up to this day. I took from the Treasury books yesterday, and I state it to you just as it is in contrast with what I told you of the last year ot Andrew Johnson, who pent all the treasure and all the reve nues of thcland,and run the nation into debt, adding to tho 2,500,000.000, under which it h groaning to-day. $G, 000,000 more. During tho Ivt year. .Mr. Johnon received :;S,O0O,OU0 and he incurred a debtjjn addition, of 0,000,000, so that hfexpcnded .71 000,000. In the first year of (Jen Grants administration, with no higher rate of taxation, but on the other hand. with reduced taxation m some nartie- ulars. he has crathord info th Tmn,,. from his officials hands .9 1,000 000 (instead ot SWW.UOQ.OOO) from . the same taxes; but instead of spending all that in the curcnt expenses of this first year, tie has paid 80,000,000, of the public debt out of it! feo that he has expended only 311,000.000 a-ainst 374,000.000 spent in the hist vear of Andrew Johnson's administration, mak ing just a dihernce of 00,000,000. This is from the books. Ho has coll. eeted 2G,000,000 more for this present year than Andrew Johnson did in his last year, and 2;000,000 of that is from the internal taxes of the land, which were net a mill higher, and on some ar ticles were lower than last year. Why has he collected 2,000,000 more? lie cause there has been less stolen. Let mo tell you there is a good deal of dif ference between thc politics of my dis trict and tho Congressional Districts in Brooklyn, New York. You know what thc difference is. There are two distill eries in my District I wish there were none there and there' arc 120 in Hrooklyn, yet thc two in my District paid more money into thc Treasury last year, than all of the 120 iuUrookIyn. V hat is tho reason f JJccausc the men in my District are brought up as they arc InTrrcw Hampshire, and have an idea that they must pay their taxes honestly, while thero is no such idea in Hrooklyn. That is the account up to date between tho administration of -Gen. Grant and that of Mr. Johnson hist year.--ialf, Speech in New Hampshire A Gentleman leaving the comnanv. somebody who sat next to Dr. Johnson asked who he was.

It professes what it does not believe, and believes what it dares not profess. Its embrace has withered good policies and noble principles. Men turn wun loaimng irorn an mat has touched. The shadow of the world's progress has fallen upon it, and to-day it .sits half an age behind the ear of History, chattenug a language no man knows. Fanaticism has fatten cd upon the evil fame of this party, for eveu the wise conservatism of the mass cs aas been mocked and made ashamed b the fictitious support of the Democ rauy. Col. Chapman recently addressed a public gathering at Oregon City, and, iu the course of his remarks, had oc- casion to bitterly denounce Chinamen and those who had to do with them, and to give tho matter additional force, pro- cecded to read the power of attorney recently published, by which Judge J. F. McCoy, of I'ortlaud, is made airent and attorney for all the Chinese husi' ness firms in his city.

Here was a fix I The Ccionel stam mered, looked blank, felt for his pock et handkerchief,-and. stammered again. 'V-e s; I will answer that question- that is to say I will state at least I un derstand, that he is as likely to go for one party as the other I Of course, this stammering reply brought down the house. Hut Chapman did injus- tice to Judge McCoy, lor we know him to be a consistent Democrat. The Gazette says there is much dis satisfaction amonj Democrats in Uen- ton county, in reference to tho nomina tiou of county officers. It seems that the nominating convention was packed with delegates who were secretly pledged to nominate certain aspirants for office against the will of the m jor ity of the party. Many have already sworn to torke the party whoe councils are honest no longer, and wboe best interest arc trampled down by the despotic heel of chronic am bition. In the New Hampshire campaign, Congressman Daws made a speech in which he delivered this message from President (trant: Assure the people of New Hampshire that the successful collection, and the economical expendi ture of the public money during the present year, is an earnest of a pledge of what it t$hall be in the year to conic Tell the people of New Hampshire that during my administration there shall be no ascending scale of public expenditure, but, whenever and wher cver thc c,asCst scrutiny shall disclose l" IM,r,u,mJr ,ul ul"uS uu uwr it shall be done, Tc I cs ra pli i c S u m ma ry.

It demands the withdrawal of the Krcnch trojops from Home; the renunciation of the concor dat and the suppression of the budget for public worship. It declares that should these measures be carried out nothing will be left in Home but imbe cility and fraud. j Says the New York Hei-ald: Tire report of the cotii.niUcc on the gold panic states that in the whole course )( the search into the crook ecrw jays of the gold dealers they have nowhere discov ered " a word or an act of the President inconsistent wun mai patriotism ana integrity which befit the Chief Magis tratc of the nation. !

Curious 1 acts fit Itcgard to .Sound. The following curious observations in regard to the i transmission of sound have been carefully verified by an cx tended series of experiments: The whistle of a locomotive is heard 3,300; yards through the air; the noise of .a railroad train , 2,800 yards ; the re port of a musket and bark of a dog. 1,800 yards; an orchestra or the roll of a drum, 1,000, yards; the human voice reaches to a distan ce of 1,000 yards; the croaking of fro-s, 000 yards; the chirping ot crickets, 8UU yards. Distinct speaking 13 heard in the air from below up to A distance ef COO yards ; from above, it is only un- derstood to a range of 100! :.- yards down- wards. It has been ascertained that an echo is well reflected fr pm the sur- face of smooth water on v whnn thi voice comes from un elevation Other similar phenomena connected with the transmission of souud have been observed, but the results disagree either from inaccuracy in the ob"crva ttionsor from the varying Iratu re of the circumstances aftectin": ; the numbers obtained. Such variatiooi "occur to an extent of ten to twenty per cent., and even more. The weather's being cold and dry. or warm &nd wet. are the icf influencing causes, i In the first case, tho sound goes to a jgrcater, and, n the second, to a lesser distance.
