Just from the scene, we learn tho fol
lowing in regard to tho burning of the
Willamette Woolen Mills at Salem last
Tuesday night: At about 1 o'clock,' the
watchman discovered tire in the attic
where a lot of rubbish was stowed. He
immediately attempted to ive the
alarm, but tho bell rone had burned off.
The factory hose was then brou ghtinto
requisition, but it hur.sted as "soon as
the water was turned on. He then
went down town and gave the alarm.
Capital Engine Co. started for the
scene, and on arriving there found that
inoy nad left their hose cart behind
and returned for it. By tho time tho
hose arrived, the entire building was
in names, and no human elforts could

V Mi'P-Cow. Oo of the'proprietors
! of the Lincoln Bakery, from the very
day of his marriage, made up. his mind
to buy a cow. ".Fresh milk and butter,
ltiiUt'rr.jilk lor the younjr one, nothing
likoit, sir;" was hU manner of speak
ing of his purpose to friends. The cow
was bought about three weeks ago, and
over since has conducted herself .in ?t
wav most unruly and uncowlikc. One
night last week, Miss "J lossy " stayed
away irom nonie; A Learcii was nisei
tuted next day, resulting in the discov
fr Mmf C:riA Fiii "wIrkT fhn 1 i L- r f
JiL n i ""v "v" i
d
oil iuh uiuu, anu was mere sluck. in iuo i
mud as fast as any "bump on a log."
Neighbors were drummed up, nd by
dint of much work and a generous
amount of dirt, the lacteal provider was
extricated. The next evening the cow
was again missing, and was found, after
long searcn, in almost the identical spot
in which she had been discovered the
day before, only dirtier, deeper and
tiirhter in the mud. Friends wwe a?ain
called to the Lincoln baker's assistance,
ana cue pig-neauea ouadruned once
more put upon firmer terra. Evidentlv
enjoying the mini baths, and flattered
al llie attention and solicitude of her
master, the cow repeated this neculiar
freak for two days more. Henrv now
says this keeping a cow is not what it
is cracKeci up to oe. J ie aoesn t care so
much for himself, but his friends are
getting a little tired turning out every
evening to diy: h's treasure out of its
mud prison, ana he now autherizes us
to say that if anyone wants a nice milch
cow, at a greatly reduced price, to call
at tfie Lincoln Bakery for further iwr-
ticulars.
Plati.wMothk!i.-Chris Zanner, at
the brewery, has a cat which lately
gave birth to a litter of kittens, and his
largo Newfoundland slut, feeling the
want of something to caress, with
motherly "instinct stole the kittens
away and ind them in the brush near
Caurield's store. As soon as the old
cat had disappeared from thejbrewerv
the self-appointed mother took her kid
napped kittens to the stable near by,
there made a nest for the little orphans
and, when found, was trying to nurse
them anil make them understand that
she really was their mother.
It was rumored on the streets last
Wednesday, that the O. S. i$. Co. had
sold out their line of boats to the O. S.
N
Co., and that all tho up-river boats
will hereafter nass throucrh Hie locks.
leaving the E. N. Cooke tho only boat
plying to and from this city. Another
rumor has it that J. 1. Biles will rent
the boats of the CS.S.Co., and continue
to run them as before. We have been
making diligent inquiries from parties
employed on this line and all the satis
faction obtained, "was that negotiations
were going on with O. S. N. Co., and
that in a few days the facts would be
made known.
Tim following returns were made by
Sherili" Apperson to the County Court
for taxes for 1S7.3:- To amount as per
tax book, 17, ?Tj,112 17; assessment
made by Sherilf, $7S3 7 ; total amount,
$:i,l.Kl .r4. By amount of coin paid to
County Treasurer, as per receipts, Ji'j,

to Treasurer, ivSJUO :VJ ; deductions made
by County Court, for errors and indebt
edness, S'jMOI; delinquent list, Sl,
21t (K; total amount, r,tJ-3 51.
Heakinu some complaint by tax
payers that the sherili" of this county
was keeping the money paid in for
taxes so as to draw interest, we have
examined his receipts from the county
treasurer, and find that he has paid it
over to the treasurer whenever the
amount was large enough to justify him
in doing so, which was about once
in every ten days. Any one desiring
to ascertain the facts in the ease can do
so by insnocting the receipts at the
sheriffs ouiee.

Fiue Amaum. On Saturday after
noon tho ever-vigilant fire laddies of
our department had a run as far as the
O. S. S. Co.'s warehouse, only to find
that the "destroying element" was con
fined to a chimney, and in no possible
danger of spreading. After quenching
the incipient blaze, tho "b-hovs" had to
pick their way home through the mud
very much alter the style of ducks
walking on hot bricks.
The "Voting Men's" ticket, on ac
count of entering the field rather late
in ttie day, only received two votes in
the l ite city election. Wo feel safe in
raying, however, that had their nom

their election would have been ceitain.
As it is, we can only ;emind them that
"I he early. I ird catches the worm," and
hope at our next municipal coutcstthey
may profit .hereby.

The Importance ofdood Habits.
Goo 1 habits tend to prolong life. The
laws of Nature are in perfect harmony
with those of Nature's God. Habits of
life should be regular. The animal
functions should be regularly perform
ed, sleep should not be put off until un
timely hours, unnecessary and de
praved excitements should be avoided.
The observance of hygenic rules will
not, however, always suffice to rescue
a naturally delicate constitution from
wreck. When this is tho case a wise
discretion should Iks exercised in select
ing the tonic to be used. Hostetter's
Bitters, on account of tho purity of
their alcoholic basis, the powerfully in
vigorating properties 0' tho vegetable
elements which they contain, and
their alterative efficacy, are precisely
the article required to creato energy
in and restore regularity to the
feeble S3-steni, and thus preserve it
from destruction. For those disorders
which proceed from impaired digestion,
dormancy of tho liver and weakness or
irritation of the bladder or kidneys, it
is a most valuable specific, and is equal
ly to be relied upon as a preventive of
malarious fevers. Persons who sutler
from Uatulenco will find it an excel
lent carminative. It remedies heart
burn with far more alacrity and cer
tainty than carbonate of soda, and re
lievo's nervous headache and constipa
tion with gratifying promptitude.
xne liiiiers are a powerful auxiliary

Kivmg tone to iiie enure system, and
recalls "the rose tint of health" to the
wan cheek and wasted invalid. Thev
also tend, through the medium of im
proved digestion, to increase the bodily
substance, and are a capital apjetizer
aim aiier-mnner coruiai.
