Drcijon Statesman ' AND UNIONIST. SALEM, FRIDAY, ; i : : : DEO. 3 THE CITY AND COUNTRY. Wednesday, Dec. 1. Taosaas Bart, at the New Store on Com mercial stteet, above the Factory Store, offers large stock of good at reasonable prices. N. Haas, bootmaker, oo State street near the Express Office, invites the custom of all who want the best of winter boots made at a reasonable price, on a short notice. . Deputy Sheriff Owen, of Jacksonville, ar rived on the stago Monday night, bringing with him Jas. Brown, who was sentenced, at the recent term in that county, to serve three years in the Penitentiary on a conviction for assault with intent to kill. Brown was yes terday made over to the prison authorities and Owen returned home. Since it has become known to the faithful that four quires a week will supply a Detno ctutio organ with paper ot this point, thero is some prospect that an electioneering fund can be raised to bny two bundles of paper, and so carry the Press through the next campaign. There is some life and energy left in the old party after all. .Yesterday about noon, the Court House was observed to be suspiciously full of smoke, and alter some search the cuuao was fonnd in the Sheriff's office. It seems that a wood box, behind the stove, bad taken fire probably from the heat and but for its timely discov ery the fire-proof vault, for safe-keeping of the records, might have been pat to a practi cal test. -It is with regret we learn of the illness of Dr. M. B. Lingo of this place. He had been down with typhoid fever, but was convalescing until last Saturday, when he took a relapse and on Monday night was hardly eipectod, by his attendant physician, to survive. How ever, we are pleased to be able to say that yesterday the Doctor was considered out of danger and is worth a dozen dead ones yet. St. Helen's Hall, at Portland, bas been completed, and forms an elegant accompani ment to the Court House building as an adorn ment to the city plaza. On Saturday last the new building was octupied for the first time, and the Misses Rodney are now able to offer accommodations to a greater number of young lady boarders. There are now nearly one hundred pupils, including day scholars. The advantages offered by this school; as a de lightful home, where the best influences ac company instrnction in the finest accomplish ments, eannot be surpassed. The annual meeting of the P. T. Co. comes off in a few days. A number of the prominent gentlemen of that Company arrived by the boat last evening and more are expected to day. Those arriving are Captains Kellog and Pease, Messrs. Marshall, Chief Engineer, Pratt, Commissary, Pope and Biles especial ly Biles. It is lucky for that irrepres.-ib'.e joker that he brought bis dog along or he might have got hurt by some of the folks his jokes have nearly killed with laughter. His first inquiry was if there was any dog tax in Salem. If there had been, bis canine would have petered and it very nearly petered out as it was. Major Berry brings into town mammoth Peach-Blow potatoes, from bis grubbed land at the Penitentiary. The men aie busily em ployed digging ' potatoes on twenty acres of ground, the remarkable thing about them being that they were planted for a fall crop, and the season being late and remarkably dry they never amounted to any thing until after the September rains. The last week in Au gust the fields were examined to find that while the tops had made considerable growth the tubers were non est in most instances there were no potatoes at all and on five acres, planted above the stockade, on the highest land, the potatoes hadn't come np at all. These, however, came up in September and during the fall rains five thousand bush els have matured, as fine vegetables as ever grew. The prisoners have also raised 10,000 cabbages, many of which measured twenty inches across. A great quantity of rata baga turnips are on band, thirty barrels of kront and twenty of pickles are in store, thirty-six . hogB are now fattening on home raised feed, and toe institution seems to oe running so well that it is doubtful if it needs any appro priation, though the officers would think a lit tle cash very appropriate by way of salary. perhapn.. Tharwiar, Dec. . Retires. James Crump withdraws from the butcher "biz" and Wm. M. Laughead goes on at the old stand. For particulars see advertising columns. Mrs. Vroom, dressmaker, on State street, over the furniture warehouse, is well estab lished in her branch of business, and warrants to give good satisfaction to her customers. Mrs. Bissel, at Rev. Mr. Deininer's, ad vertises this morning as a dress and oloak maker, and offers ber services to the ladies of Salem. See her card in another column. Mr. J. W. Smith has purchased on third interest in the Salem Ferry Company for sev en thousand dollars. The property is now owned by Messrs. J. N. Matheny, J. N. Glov er and J. W. Smith. The revival in the Sontb Salem Methodist Church bas become very interesting, and the meetings are very fully attended. A great many conversions have taken place. , The meetings are conducted by Rev, Mr. Wood, Pastor, assisted by other clergymen. Many perrons from this side of the bridge are in the habit of attending. The annual election of officers for tbe Pio neer Oil Company, of this city , resulted . in the ; choice of Joseph Holuinn, President ; Geo. P. llolman, Secretary ; C. M. Cartwright, Agent ; 0. F. Dennis, Superintendent. Tbe Company wilt soon remove its office to the store in Uolman's Block formerly occupied by John Hughes. ' A Woktht Object. One teachers of the Evagelical Sabbath School requests us to state that there are in her class tome little children of an emigrant widow, who are in quite destitute circumstances. Tbe chil dren, four in number, are badly in need of cloaks or shawls for the winter, and it is to be hoped that the friends of humanity will (eel like doing something for them. Any contri butions to this object may be left at Mr. J. A. Kiperton's store. i - Items are so scarce to-day that we may be pardoned for reminding oar readers thai De cember put in a very graceful appearance yes terday, coming in without frost and ending ia a pleasant sunset, after a sunny afternoon. We are having a very good time here, in this bappy land of YVebfbot, picking oar dippers full of strawberries tbe last week in November, and. sniffing tbe fragrance of flowers the first day of December. We may as well know, real ize and appreciate onr happy circnmstances,and pity the frozen-up people living far south of ui sftof tho Rocky Mountain?. Married. By Rev. T. J. . Wilson, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. W. W. Martin and Miss. Belle Myers, all of Salem. The compliments of the parties are received, and they have the best wishes of many friends including the printers. The schools all commenced their second term yesterday, under the same teachers, and with a full attendance quite as many as the buildings will accommodate. At the East Salem school there were yesterday, 51 pupils in the Higher Department and 85 in the In termediate; South Salem school had 30 ; Central do., 80, and North Salem, 40. It is the intention of the school authorities to take a vacation during the holidays, which accounU for their not taking one now. The Democratic dailies at Portland are much exercised, because Senator Williams has rep resented at Washington that the twenty miles of the Eastside Railroad was approaching completion, and that commissioners should be appointed to examine and accept it. No sen sible man would believe that he had said that the road was already built for twenty miles, or that the gentlemen named as commissioners would be willing to accept an unfinished oi ill constructed road. The fact is, these worthy cotemporaries of ours are keen-scented enough to nose an African in every fence, and sharp- sighted enough to think every bush an officer. Chronology. The lecture last evening by the Rev. S. C. Adams, although fairly attended, bad not the audience that its worth demanded. The chart ia an ingeni ous arrangement, and extremely well cal culated to impress facts and dates of histo ry on the memory through the understand ing. Mr. Adams is in love with bis subject and thoroughly understands it, but we might perhaps find fault with his trying to i ell too much in one short lecture. Those wbo staid away don't know what they missed, but we undertake to say that ail wbo attended were interested and instruct ed. We hope to hear the lecture repeated, or better still, that Mr. Adams will deliver a course of at least half a dozen lectures on the subject. Friday, BfCfmbrr 3. Dr. Skiff has a card that speaks for itself. Wasted a girl to do house work. See that ad. Four boats went up the river yesterday and one went down. Business is brisk on the river. The meeting of the stockholders of the P. T. Company, yesterday, resulted in the re election of the same Board of Directors. Logue Adams remind the world, that they have added various articles of feed to their stock in trade. Bowen & Cranston have several earnest re minders in our columns, this morning, that they are selling off at cost. Mr. Lobdell, at hid Photograph Gallery on State street, is improving the pleasant days by taking fine pictures. He aims at excellence and takes likenesses in various styles. Anderson fc Brown are bound to do an ex tensive business and have all tbe facilities for dealing in stoves, and the other articles named in their new advertisement, than can be desired. Miss Fleming has rented one of the elegent rooms in Mr. Patton's new block, and will carry on the business of dressmaking in the atest style of Eastern art and fashion. Our worthy townsman, Joseph Holman, who disappeared from our midst only a few days ago, telegraphs back from Chicago that he bas arrived safe and sound. Verily there are times when "every thing goes;" even Oregon not being so far off as it used to be. Mrs. Dr. Thompson is stopping at tbe bouse of J. M. Coulter where she will receive calls from all who are ill or ailing, and require her. services. Mr. Coulter wishes us to state that Mrs. Thompson bas practiced professionally in his family, and gave great satisfaction. He commends her skill as worthy of a trial. At thb Opeha. House. On Saturday even ing Mr. and Mrs. Bates, who have just closed a popular engagement at Portland, will give a select dramatic entertainment, at the Opera House in this city, commencing with the com edy entitled the Morning Call, and including a rendering of the 2d act of Shakespcre's great tragedy of Macbeth, and some beautiful ballads to be sung by Mrs. Bates. These tal ented artists are too well known to need more particular mention at our bands. Wednesday night, policeman Coffey took np an hombre for being very tired, too tired to go to bed like a sensible man. Yesterday he was fined five dollars and costs (as much more, ten dollars in currency), for being druna, after having given his captors and tbe Recorder more names than he could honestly possess, none ot which were probably his own.' He had soma money deposited with a friend, but could bardly be persuaded to pay np ; going to jail for five days be thought the easiest way to settle with the city, but finally he was induced to settle and disappeared, tak ing all his aliases with him. The steamer Echo baa gone np to Bromley's Defeat to undertake the work of clearing the new chute, and a dispatch was received by tbe Secretary of the P. T. Co., this morning, to the effect that a party of citizens of that place would be there to assist in the work of improv ing the river. The statement of the Herald, copied from the Guard, that the Company bad refused to run their boats to Eugene any long er, unless the citizens of that place would im prove the navigation at their own expense, has no foundation in fact and is a most extraordi nary stretch of a diseased fancy. Scalded to Death. Mr. Stroop, of this city, who bas lieen for several days in the country, tells ns of a shocking accident that occurred last week at Parkers ville, at the house of William Lcrwil), who is now absent in England. One of Lerwill's children, a lit tle boy of 6 years of age, was playing with two brothers around a large kettle of boiling water, in which hogs were being scalded, an t J . II . . l was pusnea in, railing into tne not wjfer nearly np to his neck. Tbe boys got bffout and led him to tbe house. He was ensealled that the skin peeled off bis bodf when his clothes were removed, and he fed the next morning after great suffering. It is supposed mat ne was pusnea in oy nis mile orotssr, in mischief or sport. Yesterday was a desperate day for an hunter. Several turned up, of large dimenions, at evening, but searching for them at an ear lier boar was most aggravating. After half a day's hard skirmishing, we captured nothing of more importance than an old ben, over in Polk county, that makes a daily practice of climbing a pile of apples, to mount an old ax, from whioh stand point she regularly lays an egg. What becomes of the eggs we could not possibly discover. Onr friend Mr. Chapman, the City Marshall, won onr admiration by bringing as a police item, and if onr readers feel as thankful for what items we did get, as we do, we rest content. A Pleasaxt Scepki.sk. Last evening the members of the 1 T. Co. a? semi-led at AH pbia'o Chop Ilea ioJ partook of a hand somely served oyster supper, which, with ther agreeab'.e coucomitanls. occupied a very pleasant Lour. The occasion wasmai$ particularly interesting bv some impromptu exeio ses, in ruduce J by some remarks called forth by general ucclamation from Hon. L R. Moores, one of tbe members of the company, who in graceful style re minded the President of the Corporation, Hon. A. A McCnlly, of tbe history of the Company's struggles; its great labors ac complished for the Willamette Valley while building up its own fortunes, and of tbe prominent part borne in all its honorable history by tbe President himself, as with untiring labors and encountering many hardships be had directed its course until its present prosperity was reulized. Ten dering Mr. McCully a handsomely mounted cane, heavily adorned with g6ld, and in scribed with the fact of its presentation to I'im by the employees, he left him quite bewildered, which was increased when an eloquent case followed it, containing a su purb Howard watch of gold, with chain ia keeping, similarly inscribed. The surprised President returned bis thanks in appropri ate words, and the delightful episode was followed by pleasant jokes from various other gentlemen of prominence in the Com pany, not forgetting the enthusiastic rt uiarksof a disinterested "dead head,'' whose opinions of the Company had been formed on many years of journeyings, always at its expense. The testimonials referred to cost over four hundred dollars, were very ele gant, and are well deserved by the honored recipient, wbo is much beloved by all under tiis benificent rule. Arrived. Al Zeiber, Sheriff of Multno mah, assisted by A. B. Halleck and John Hoi ton, arrived from Portland on the boat last evening, bringing with them tno following convicts sentenced to the Penitentiary: Jacob Ripley, for larceny, comes for three years; Ed win Kennedy, gets two years for the same often fe; 11. J. Heath, three years, same; An drew Deninger, two years, same; Indiun Tom, two years for manslaughter. The prisoners were placed on a hack and conveyed direct to the Penitentiary, where all their wants are daily artended to. We learn that the Sheriff will remain in town to-day and return home to-morrow. The bad roads aud winter schedule for the mails have delayed most of our mail matter to some extent, but Harper ' for December is on hand up to time and full of good things as usual. Among the beautiful things to be seen and purchased at Uzafovage A Wright's, are va rious patterns of Parian marble band vases that form elegant mantle ornaments. Social. We are requested to announce that the Sociable of the M. E. Church will be held at the residence of Asa McCully, this evening Circuit Court Proceedings. Salem, Nov. 23, 1869. The jury in the case of the State vs. Paul Minard, failed to agree and was discharged on Sunday morning. The prisoner was re manded to jail. Wm. Goellott vs. John Brown, judgment by default for plaintiff. Knight fc Lord at torneys. Mary Woolen vs. William Woolen, divorce granted on report of referee. Curl attorney. Salem, Dec. 1, 1869. The time of tbe Court was occupied yester day and part of (he day before, in hearing the case of Morgan vs. Keyes, a chancery case from Linn county, in which some $8,000 is pending. Chenowetb and Williams for plain tiff, Russell and Ellsworth for defendants. To-morrow a chancery case from Polk, Scott vs. Rohrer, will be taken np. ' , Sai.em, Dec. 2. The Circuit Court was engaged all of yester day, and during an evening session, in hearing the ease of Scott v. Rohrer a chancery case from Polk, involving tbe validity of a U. S. patent. Salem, Dec. ?. Tbe November term of the Circuit Court closed yesterday forenoon. Thero has Seen no conviction for felony, but one for misdemeanor, and the civil cases have all been disposed of with dispatch, making thus the cheapest term of Court held in the county for some time. We shall soon publish a list of the casts dis posed of during the term. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY. To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Marion county. We, iii Grsr'd Jury at tbe November term of said Court in said county, A.D., 1809, re spectfully submit the following report : That we have examined the books of the County Clerks, and find them, as far as we can judge, properly kept ; and they exhibit a satisfactory and flattering condition of the financial condition .if the county up to the July term of the County Court. We have examined the County Jail and find it in rea sonably good order. (Signed) William Porter, Foreman.

' Salem, Friday, Deo. 3, 1869. The produce market bas been rather dull during the past week, but very little being offered of any kind. Prices of grain are Eteady. Breadstuffs do not seem to be affected by tne fluctuations in thetelegraphic quotations. By last advices wheat in Liverpool was selling at 96d, which is a great falling off from last week. Probably this is owing to another fact reported by telegraph, that several leading dealers in Liverpool bad failed. San Francis co sales are quoted at$l 50 perewt. for choice, which means Oregon. In. the local market we notice a new article of corn meal jW alia Wal la ground, which has been introduced this sea son and already taken the front rank.command- ing the highest price in the market, and said to be superior to the California article. Dried apples have come down alarmingly, although it is probable thatneaily all who intend to sell before Spring have already disposed of their stock. Shipments lately made to San Fran cisco are reported to have netted only Si cents per lb. Buyers are offering from 4c to 5o and sellers are rather inclined to hold for better prices. Pork' killing and packing received quite a check during the warm rains a few days since, by means of which a quantity was spoilt in the curing. The present light frosts causes a little to be done, but it seems bardly probable that the killing season will be good much before Christmas. Eggs are not quite so high, though they still bring a fair price. Produce and Provision Market. Flock Salem XXX pr sack, $t Z1X ;Aumsvllle, pr sack, $t 25; Jefferson, 1 25; Moon.

Offices established after this advertisement Is issued, and also during the contract term, a e to be visited without extra pay, If tbe distance b not Increased. 11. Bidders are cautioned to mall their proposals In time to reach the Department by the day and hour named, (8. p. m., March 1, 1S70,) for bids re ceived after that-time will not It considered in competition with a bid of reasonable amount re ceived in time. Neither can bids be considered which are without tne guarantee required by law and a certiorate ol the sufficencyof such guarantee. IS. Bidders should first propose for service strictly according to tbe advertisement, and than, If they desire, separately for different services ; and If the regular bid be tbe lowest offered for tie advertised service, the other propositions may be considered. 18. There should be but one route bid for In proposal. Consolidated or combination bids ( pro posing one sum for two or more routes") are forbid den bv law, and eannot be considered. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay. the name and residence of lh- bidder, (that Is, his usual post office address,) and the name of each member or a firm, where company offers, should be tils Unctly stated. 15.

The bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of e tea person. The Department reserves the right to reject any bid which may be deemed extravagant, and also to disregard the bids of failing contractors and bidder. (Act or July S, 1S36, section 84 ) 16. Tbe bid should be sealed, superscribed " Mail Proposals, State of Oregon," addressed "Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract Office," and sent by mail, not by or to an agent; and postmas ters wlU not loclose proposals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly returns. 17.

ID. Section eighteen ot an act of Congress ap proved March 8, 1845, provides that contracts for the transportation of tow malt shall be Mln very ease, to the lowest bidder tendering u(flcict guar antees for faithful performance, wltnoat other refer, ence to the mode of such transportation than may be necessary toprovid forth due eeiertty, cer tainty, and security or sooh transportation." Un der this law bid. that Topoas to transport tbe mails with -eeiertty, certainty, and seeuriiq hatmo been decided to be th only legal bid, ar ton. strued as providing for th onttr mem, kewnsr large, and whatever may be ihe mod of omy. otic necessary to insure u - celerity, certainly, and security' and hoe th preference otcr ail other, and no others ar considered. 80. A modification or a bid in any cf Ms essential terms is tantamount to s new bid snd cannot be received, so as to interfere with rtrnlar compe tition. Making a new bid, with guarantee ar.d cer tificate, is the only way to modify a previous bid. 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of guarantors, or sureties, wtthoat knowing that they are ersons of suffioent responsi bility; a disregard of this instruction by poet, master is a uiotation of their oath of office, tub. jecting them to immediate removal. All biddirs, guraniors, and sureties ar distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bios, their legal liabilities will be enford i;lnt them. 22. Present contractors, acd persons known at tbe Pepartment, must, equally with others, procure curantors and certificates of their sufficiency sub stantially In the forms above prescribed. Tbe cer tificate or sufflclancy must be signed by a postmas ter, or by a judgf of a court or record. No other will be admitted, j JNO. A. J. CKtSWfLL, ct29w6 Postmaster General.
