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.

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

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

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.

COMJLEB.CIAL HEWS.
' 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.
