rant sworn out on tha allegation that
she was ubout to leave for parts un
known. Tha faets leading to the ar

ago hor husband wont on the bond of
one Henry M. Curtis, as administrator
of the estate of which Stanley I. Sex
ton was a minor heir, but now a well
known amateur athlete, j Subsequently
suit was brought against the Brooks

for Curtis, it being alleged that. Curtis
was a defaulter, the jury rendering a
verdict for 62,000 against the estate.
Mi jl Brooks was arrested, as stated, on
the allegation that she was about to
leave the city for the purpose of escap

lady went into hysjjjrics, and it is feared
she will die.

the sheep growers of thiit precinct mot
at the Ischool house Marst 1st, and
fo.-med themselves into an association

with himj, and was cut .loose from the
dead animal by a half-breed The old
gentleman managed to get the boat
near the 'shore and leaped i upon dry
land, but could not hold the ferry, al

school meeting of this district was held
in the academy on the afternoon of
Monday last Hon. A. C. Jon3 was
elected director, in place of Judge Fitz
hugh retiring, R. S. ShenJan was
elected clerk, but declined the honor
and his place was .subsequently sup
plied by the appointment of E. G.
Hursh. The voters saw . fit to levy a
tax for general purposes of three mills.
Upon that matter there is some feel
ing and it behooves the school board to
see to it that the fund thereby obtained
will be properly utilized. The comfort
and convenience of teachers and pupils
should first be considered. Good
seats, a good well, good deportment
and ceneral good wishes are most degi
rable. , .

Uncle John Mires met with a severe
accident last week, by being precipitated
from an elevation. Mr. M tell 15
feet and struck on his head, which re
sulted in concussion of tho brain and
some external in juries. Dr. Sham-
brook was called and administered the
proper remedies and at' this wiiting the
iupired man is on the road to recovery
The long lost letter has not been
called in yet by its owner, and is now
wandering around in the world like an
orphan without friends. However the
lettei tells startling stories, revealing
tho way h ardness and crookedness of
two of our j romi.ient (1) citizens. One
of the parties implicated has received
many scathi.ig notices through the press,
of couduc. low and degrading.
Sheep Husbandry Does it Pay?
Our answer to a correspondent is:
First. Sheep pasture all the year
round.
Second. Herders wages 30 to 35
per month and board.
Third. Cost' per 1000 head, will de
dend on (if land is owner) the interest
on investment; or if leased, the rental.
If pastured on the vacant government
lands found in the froutier countie?,
then the only items of expense would
be the herdeis' wages, and possibiy, a
hay crop cut on the plaius.
Fourth. Land improved, $8 to $40
per acre; unimproved, 3 to $8 per
acre; sheep ranges, 3 to $5 per acre.
Fifth. The sheep of the Umpqua
country are usually well graded. The
predominating grades are Spanish mer
ino and Cots wold. The mixed grades
will average C pounds per head, the
common unimproved sheep 3 to 4
pounds, and the pure bred merino from
10 to 16 pounds many bucks having
floeces as heavy as 25 pounds. ;
iSLxth. Price of wool varies some
years as low as 22 cents for spring clip;
at other times up to 35, and some years
ago as high as 45 cents.
Owing to the uniformly equal tem
perature of the climate, the clean
grassy hills and pure waters, and also
the care taken in the improvement of
flocks, the Umpqua wools rank first in
quotations of Pacific coast wools.
Mrs. Mary Brown, widow of John
Brown, of famous memory, died at San
Francisco, on the 2d inst. Mrs.
Brown wenw from her home in Santa
Clara county and took lodgings with
her daughter in San Francisco. She
secuicd treatment, and her health for a
time was thought to be improving, bnt
a few days since she began to fail rap
idly, and her life terminated as stated.
Mrs. jBrown resided with other mem
bers of her family, on ft small farm near
Saratoga.
Too Honest. A prominent mercan
tile establishment of this city had in
employment a very peculiar person, to
whom in all confidence, they imparted
the secret of the trade mark. In an
evil hour this individual was sorely
tempted and he yielded. During the
solemn hours of the night he rummaged
and ransacked the store taking down
and examining and leaving in great
confusion goods of much value. Fi
nally his eyes rested upon a pair of
brogans, value fifty cents, which he in
continently appropriated and took off
on his feet Suspicion rested upon
him, he was pursued by the vigilant
vengeance of the Jaw; he was caught,
brought back and arraigned for trial
Whereupon he was asked why he was
content to. steal only the shoes, and
with a deep, sad sigh he replied that
he examined the mark on the goods and
concluded that it would be quite un
conscionable to offer the goods at the
price marked, and besides, he could not
hope to find a purchaser. He was itn-
mediately discharged with sx present of
$25 and a cliromo. Moral honesty is
it3 own reward.
Extertai.vjiext. The officers anel
members of the teacher's institute now

But he grew old, this knight so bclJ,
And o'er hia heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as hia strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Slr.dow," said', he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit of
suffering humanity I will state thet the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from Eosegurg, and a supply of ths water is
kept constantly on hand and for ale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Joxbj. Dear Sir: ' I have heen
troubled with neuralgic pains in my h-jad and cheek:
bones, for several years, and had give up an hopes of
ever getting cured. I went to your medical springs
with my son James and got some of the water, and
drank it freely and found that it was a mild physiu.
i usea it mree times a aay lor a little more than two
months, aud the paim left me and I have not felt
them since, and that his been 17 months ago.

Gso. W. Jokes. Dear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago I suffered untold agonies on ac
count of piles (bund) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Kose
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors Ut
try your Eldorado Mineral Water.' I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E. Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottles, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, nut i am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because 1 sutfeted more than I can
exuress. I would advise anv one suffering from ihia
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account, f think this is the
least I can do for you, as I was cured by it. Re
spectfully yours, , JULIAN JOSEPH.

GEO. W. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
1 was induced to try Eldorado Water and wan not on
ly sunrised but highly gratine J with the rcsiiJt- I
have for many years been a sufferer fron dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of epsiti kuowu to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate
relief and iu a short time, if rontinued, would secure
jennanentcure. To auy who will avoid irritating
st imulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L.F.LANE.
DALLAS, Dec 2, 1833.
From Mr. M. W. Parsons, last August, I received
one bottle of the Jones Eldora-lo water, from Dr.
Hamilton f Roseburg. Used half a bottle for ca
tarrh and can fully recommend it for that dreaded
disease, as I have not been troubled, with the com
plaint since D. T. SEARS.
I Have also used the Eldorado spring water from
Jones' spring, Douglas county, Oregon, and am fully
satisfied with the result, as I was bothered with ca-ta-rb,
