Advertising is the great est power in the world, and the latest proof we have of this well known fact happened in our town last Friday. In our issue of last week Geo. Willis adver tised the loss of a brace and bit.vvhich had leen stolen from his .dop, and Saturday morning he recovered it. While others are losers by the return, of the property, the advertiser, however is gainer. The brace and bit. used by tho burglars in making an entrance into Myers store and lea l-ehind when thev departed, was the one stolen from Willis, and we have no doubt but what it would have been car Tied off but for the advertisement.

At the request of many citizens we pub lish tho existing law in regard to the pro fanation of Sunday. We quote from the General Laws of Oregon, Scc.tSoS, Chapter viir a follows: "If any lierson snail keen open any store, shop, grocery, ball- allev- billiard room, tippling house or any of nmiisement. or shall do any secu lar busines or labor, other than works of necessity or mercy, on t tie first day ot tne week, commontv caneu .uuuay, or me Lord's dav such person, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by line not less inn liro iwr more than tn dollars.

Good Worps for thf. Home Paper. The New "York limes says you might nearly as well forget your churches, your academies and school houses, as to forget your local paper. It sjx;aKs to ten times the audience that vour local minister does. It is read eagerly each day and week from beginning to end. It reaches you all, and if it has a lower spirit and less wisdom than a sermon, it has a thousand times better chance at vou. Eying as it does on every table in almost every house, you owe to yourselves to rally liberally to its support, and act from it as"able heightened a cLaracter as you do from an educator in your midst. It is in no sense beneath your notice and care unless you yourself are lieneath notice and care for it is your rep resentative. Indeed, in its character, it is the culmination of the inipprtance.interest and well fare of all. It is the aggregate of your own consequence, -and you cannot ignore it without miserably depreciating yourself. Brno laws at Work. East Friday night the store of Mr. John Myers was entered by burglars and a small sum of money and several other articles carried off. The loss, so far as can be obtained, was: S25 in dimes and quarters from the money draw er, a gun and pistol belonging to J. li. Howell, two coats and several yiairs of pants. The entrance was effected by cut ting a hole through the ceiling from the room above the store, in (lie rear of the building. No attempt was made to open the safe. The only clue to the perpetrators is the brace and bit left behind, which was stolen from Willis' shop a short time ago. The Sugar Test. Where there are rea sons to Mispect that drinking water is con taminated by sewage impurities, a con venient test, known as the "sugar test" may be applied. A half pint of water should be placed in a clear, colorless glass stojpcred bottle. Putin a few grains of the lest white sugar, and expose the bottle to the daylight in the .window of a warm room. If the water is pure it should not become turbid even alter a week's ex ins ure. If it becomes cloudy and turbid there is reason to believe your suspicions are correct. Eetter List.

The election in Connecticut to-day is ouly for sheriffs, members ot the house of representa tives, and one-half of the senators, the other half holding over from last year, when the Republicans had one majority in the senate aud thirtv-sixin the house. Indications are that the Republicans will retain control of the legislature. Hie vote of the state is light. The Repub lican majority in the legislature will be about the same as last year. Isew xokk. Xsov. b. Rice, Republi can, is re-elected governor of Massachu setts, and probably by an increased ma jority over last year, when his pluralty was 31,000. Rosrox, Nov. 0. The complete foot ings of returns for Roston are. Rice, R publican, for governor, 10,120; Gas ton, Democrat, 10,437; Pittman, 1,231; Phillips, 200. The vote of Roston last year was. Rice, 10.007; Adams, 23,280. The falling off of the Democratic vote is a surprise to the friends of that party. !Neav Iouk, 2ov. (. Election pro gressing quietly; every prospect for a full vote: much interest is felt in the 7th district orer the contest between Morrissey and Schell. At this hour this state is close and doubtful. The result will de:end on majorities in New York and Rrooklyn. Republicans are gaining in New York. This city elects five members of the state senate. Of these Tammany Hall secured three certainly, four probably, and anti-Tammany one. The latter is John J.crrissy, who is elected in the district in which John Kelly lives. From New Jersey there is nothing but a rumor which says McClellan will have 10,000 majority. Monmouth coun ty gives him 000 majority, a falling off since last year of 1,300. Latest Election News. Massachu setts elects Rice, (Rep.) Governor. Senate, 33 Republicans, 5 Democrats; House, 173 Republicans, 04 Democrats. In New Y"ork, Republicans have the Legislature, and Democrats the State ticket. "Wisconsin and Minnesota en dorsed Hayes and give increased Re publican majorities. Democrats carry Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Sacramento Record-Union con tains a statement bf the rain fall at Sac ramento for the past twenty-eight years. The dryest season was 1850-1, when 4.71 inches of water fell. Tho next dry sea son was in 180:3-4. when 7.S7 inches fell. The fall of 1870-1, was 8.47, and in 187G-7, it was 0.40 inches. Tho season succeeding the dry year of 1850-1, there was a fall of 17.98 inches. After the next dry time, viz: 1SG4-5, 22.S12 inches fell, in 1S71-2, 24.052. The wettest sea son in the twenty -eight was that of 1852-3, when 50.305 inches fell, and the next damp ye r was in 1840-50, when the fall was 30 inches. Wet years don't always succeed dry ones, but the prob abilities are in favor of a greater rain fall after a dry season than a less. TheWasliington correspondent of the Boston Herald learns that Mr. Blaine has announced to one or two per personal friends that he ha3 no idea of being a Presidential candidate in 1880, because ho sees clearly that the Demo crats will sweep the country in that election; that he believes that tlxy will elect a President who will sneenmb to southern demands, and thus cause a tremendous reaction in favor of the Re publican party jrr the North and West. He looks forward, therefore, to a restor ation of the Republican party to power in 1884, and intends, if possible, to be the Republican candidate at that time. A correspondent of t he Lakefiel J yetes, a paper published in Canada, has dis covered a remedy for ' the obtrusive potato bug. He says that during a visit to Peterboro, Ontario, he found thou sands of dead bugs in the garden of a friend, and learned upon inquiry that a flower plant known as the Petunia had poisoned them. He therefore suggests that Petunia seed be planted among the potatoes next season. It is estimated that the valuation of the taxable property in Texas has in creased frorn 6200,000,000 in 187G to $350,000,000 in 1877.

A French authority recommends tbo use of saw dust instead of hair in mortar to prevent its p eling off. His ownhouse.exposed to prolonged storms on tho seacoast.had patches of mortar to be renewed every spring, and after trying without effect a number of substitutes, lie found saw dust perfectly satisfactory. It was first thoroughly dried and sifted through an ordinary grain seive to remove the larg er particles. The mortar was made by mixing one part cement, two lime, two saw-dust, and five sharp sand, the saw dust first being well mixed dry with the cement and sand.
