Mr. Editor : 'flunking, perhaps, you may deem yourself neglected during the absence of your regular correspondent, "Farmer," I take it upon myself to act as substitute, and shall be most happy to inform you in regard to things in general at .Mt. Pleasant. The farmers for the past ten days have been extremely happy, not a cloud to mar their plans. The street leading to Oregon City is sim ply in a splendid condition, as there has Wen about a dozen teams hauling wood over it all fall, which has made it a com plete "trotting course," so much so our supervisor thinks it unnecessary to expend further labor on it (thinks it will be all right directly). The quiet"cf Holmes ranch, wo under stand, will sooTi ba disturbed by a hun dred or more Celestials, who will convert a wilderness into cultivate ! fields. If money and talent will achieve any thing. Cant. Apperson will soon havo "a beautiful place. Williams and Tjaughton are at work every day, Hauling their straw and apples away ; Desides, heaps of other work thev intend to make tiy, As long as the sun shines and tho weather keeps dry. Ono of our farmers has been so (in) dis creet as to sow his wheat on Sunday, thereby expecting an unusual crop next season. The rest of our neighbors are usually well thank you. Mt. Pleasant Sabbath School is well at tended, and in a nourishing condition. 1 Ion.

FOUTS. ) JrnOK von Youhselvks. We have ro ceived a numler of inquiries in regard to the "silverware counon"ad vertised in our columns several weeks since, and we would simply say that we are not respous- Hko Ior iinv advertisements or mat char acter. 1 ho ails, are paid lor, and as to hether the parties are responsible or not our readers must nut go ior tiiemseives, Several parties in this vicinity have order ed the "premium spoons and say they received tho value of their money. An Kastern exchange, of a recent date, has tho following : "These fellows "assure everybody that their 'spoons retail at $4 per set. but kindly oiler to send a set' free to any one who will send 75 cents 'to cover boximr. niarkinsr and express or man charges.' Certainly, the verdant country men imagine thev really give away the moons, and that the 73 cents is to cover only expenses. xTow, what is the truth Whv. iust this. and. not only in this one case, but in every 'premium' offer that is made: I ho spoons aro represented as worth ?4, and as having the buyer's initial 'engraved on each spoon. In fact, these spoons are the cheapest of all cheap trash. the initial is stamied on, and never en graved at all, and even when giving them away, the 'generous Silverware Company Mears a pront ot luiiv jmj per cent, wo repeat, it makes no difference what goods are offered, whether spoons, time-keepers, pens or silverware, in every instance the sum asked to pay for the 'nostaire and packing' is three times, as a rule, what the goods actually cost the advertiser. JrDicious Adverti3I.no. At a recent meeting of the stove manufacturers of the country, the President of tho Convention gave the members the following good ad- vieei ii wo would make the best possible use of our money, we should patronize ably-conducted and responsible newspa pers. The newspaper is immeasurably the best medium open to our trade: tho most liberal and expert advertisers testify to its value, and in the employment of its vuiiuims we would tind a means oi escape trom watchful, undignified and ineffectual methods, to which so manv resort in their eagerness to secure attention and patron age. These words do not apply to the stove dealers alone, but to all classes of persons, at ail times, everywhere, who are transacting legitimate business. Bad Jons. Last Saturday, says the Statesman, we went to the Secretary of State's office to get some information of the amount ot assessable property in this State.bnt rind the assessment rolls of many ot the counties in such condition that it is utterly impossible to get what we wanted. Many of the counties have not footed up the column at all.whilo others have footed up each page separately, in which shape the footings are almost useless. Many of the rolls will have to be sent back to the counties from which they came, and all the defective ones ought to be. It seems to us there is no excuse for assessors or clerks to send up work so imperfeetly executed. Change of Firm. Chas. Albright. Jr., has purchased the interest of his father in the firm of Albright fc Logus. Charles is a steady and enterprising young man.aud we hone he will do well in his new posi tion. Those indebted to the old firm are jnvjted to call around w;tlj the coin. Cutting Affray. Last Tuesday even ing, about 7 o'clock, as James Harding was passing by Demerit's building, on Main street, he was assaulted by one Wm. Taylor, with a pocket knife in" his hand. Harding knocked his assailant down, and tumbled on top of him. While down, Taylor proceeded to insert his knit'o into Harding's back, indicting a painful but not dangerous wound. Harding's coat has five or six cuts from the knife, but only one took effect in his Itody. The City Marshal happened along about that time and carried Taylor off to jail. Harding and Taylor Imd'a war of words some time ago, and this was the result of it. Taylor had a hearing in the Justice's court last evening, and was fined ir20 and costs. The chargeof assault with a dangerous weapon was dismissed.and the complaint changed to assault and battery. IjETTEU List.

Reports him self well pleased with his new home, and has already caught a glimpse of the great amount of work required of him to do. He has the well wishes of his many friends, who will look forward with oi tie pride to his again coming among us, a polished minister of the Oospcl. Storks Ckoskd on Sunday. V,y a card elsewhere it will be seen that the business men of this city have entered into an agreement to close their places of business nereatter on Sunday. I his is a good move. and should be lived up ti bv all. We are also informed that steps have been taken ior me iormation ot a Hoard ot t rade in this city at no distant day. It would be a great benefit to our city and county to have such an organization, and we think that the efforts of Mr. (Jharnian in this direction should meet with a hearty co operation. "S Fioitts in Order. Business in the Re corder's and Justice's courts has been lively during the i.s-t week. The boys have been resting for a while, and the cold weather coming on livens up their muscles, and thpv must have a little exer cise. 1 hev don t seem to be mean about it either ; some four or five have marched right up and paid l. and fJD apiece uist for this small pnvilesro. Keep riirht along. boys, we are doing a good business in jus tice's blanks, and have no reason to com plain. A Rim Strike. Wo aro glad to learn that Mr. A. M.

Bacon is agent in this city for Walling A: Son's nursery, and will supply all orders left at his store. This nursery has a first-class reputation, and our citizens would uo well to can on the agent at once and leave their oruers, as now is the time to commence- planting. Almost every known variety of fruit, shrubs, etc., can be obtained at this nur sery, and it is a good policy to patronize home dealers. Stray Horse. C. II.

The animal was without bridie or saddle, but nidging 1 rom the loam on its back, it had been rode a good distance and then abandoned. Accident.

Night has cast her mantles o'er the earth Of blackest darkness there's no dearth ; The sun has .set behind the black cloud, The lightning dasbeth.the thunder roareth loud. As with tierce, wild wrath and turv driven, The earth with thunder IkUs is riven ; Flash after flash, forked lightnings dart to ami fro, Loud roars the thunder, then distant faint and low. All life is hushed, with trembling and with fear, And well it may he, for death lurketh near. The horses bow their heads, trembling at every joint. And still" the lightnings flasheth, from every cloud and point. Crash follows crash, as great tall trees aro riven, Bv lightnings playing far and near, with fiercest fury driven. Even tho wild Leasts of tho forests, The pride and terror of tho tourists, Have sought their forest lair, And 'trembling and fearful aro crouching there. The quiet, harmless, timid deer, liics crouching in nis hook wiiii iear. The great awkward lumbering bear, Dare not leave his hidden lair. All is hushed with fear, Save the panther lurking near. He is searching o er me wood, on bloody thoughts intent, On a feast of ilesh and blood ho is bent. Hark I hear his tierce, blood-eurdlmir crv. Oh 1 what a sound, how fearfully -nigh I ai ouiiiiKs x see nis giisieinug eye, nis red and glaring tongue; My heart is in my mouth, my nerves aro all unstrung. Oli I what a fearful crash, See the vivid lightnings flash. I fear the wild tornado blow. Felling tree alter tree, laying the forest low. Hear the wolves mournful Howl, how long-drawn and tremulous, Borne on the wings of the irale. I low fhe dogs and horses quailT Hark I again the panther's cry. The owl adds Ids notes to the din, Sitting high above us on that broken limb. The rain falls in torrents, drenching us to the skin. Happy are they who aro safe at homo to-night. Silting around the bright firelight, Listening to tho thunder s crash. Heeding not the lightning s flash. The dashing rain but music to their ears, Untortured by such hopes and fears, As is now our portion to endure. i THE VISIOX. Oh, the wild and wintry winds Are wildly blowing now, how thev remind one of his sins As thev fiercely, wildly blow. 'Tis midnight's ho!v hour, I'm silting dreaming of the past, Dreaming of God's wondrous power, Would the dream might alwavs last. But no, ot her visions come to haunt me, Visions of a beauteaus maiden. Eyes in whose wound reus dept hs I sco A heart that deep with love is laden. A soft white cheek, I almost leel, Laving softly 'gainst my own, As low before the fire I kneel, Giving vent to a bitter moan. I feci soft arms around my neck, A soft kiss on my cheek ; Endearing words I try to check, And to stop tho mouth with kisses seek. But alas! I clasp but empty air, The vision has tied awav ; Tho form I seek is not there, Oil ! that I might never see another day. How hard to break f he spell that binds me ith its mystic bands so tight; Oh ! that its power might load me To a ray of hidden light To-day I gazed last on her cold dead form, So coldly, calmly beautiful ; To-night she lies out in the storm, She who was so tender and faithful. Thev folded her hands across her breast, With roses in their clasp; They have laid her awav to her rest. I have seen her for the last. As I stood at the head of her colfin, Anil gazed on her still white lace. I could not keep from wishing, That I might take her place. We were to have been married, In one short, hannv week : Why could not thedoath angel have tarried Or tor other victims seek. This vision forever w ill haunt me, Yv hcrever I may roam ; This shadowy form I now see. Forever before mo will come. St i 1 1 1 h o w i I d a n d w i n t r v w i n d s are bl owing Making more hideous still the night; Still the wintrv snow is snowing What a time for her loved its flight! spirit to taKO i - . . . S'.ill this phantom haunts mo. Till out in the gloomy night Wildly, madly, I lice; Oh ! that this spirit might take its flight, And forever from this world be free. Anon. 1 "'lie Season of Intermittent. All miasmatic complaints, in other words, all disorders generated by unwholsomc ex halations from ho earth or watca, are preva lent at this season. In every section subject to tho visitation of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent disease, tho causes which produce these maladies are now ac tively at work.
