At this very moment, when the nation - that bad repoeed its greatest tonQdence in bim (a confidence that was never betrayed) was delighted to again honor byn by re joicing at bis promotion to tbe Supreme Bench when bis old enemies were again arousing to add to the Infamy of. their de traction, and before be could assume tbe re sponsibilities of his new position, we bear of bis death." lie was born in 1815. at Stenbenvllle, Ohio ; was educated to the bar, in which pro fession be immediately rose to a high posi tion ; before the war he became a distin guished advocate before tbe Supreme Court; was Attorney General under Buchanan in 1860; and in 18C2 he became Secretary of War under President Lincoln.

' The Columbia Eiver and Great Salt Lake Railroad. 3 ' In the Senate of tbe United States, on the 6tb of December, Mr, Williams obtained unanimous consent to bring in a bill, which was read twice and ordered printed. , This bill provides that forty-seven prom inent citizens of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, therein named, together with their associates, shall be erected into a body cor- ' porate. under the name of "Tbe Salt Lake , and Columbia Eiver Railroad Company," and are authorized to construct and enjoy a continuous railroad and telegraph line, 'beginning at some point on the Columbia River, east of tbe Cascade Mountains, in the State of Oregon, or Washington Terri tory ; thence by the most eligible and di rect route to be determined by said com- f pany, through Idaho Territory, to some " point on the Union Central Pacifio Rail road, near Great Salt Lake. The capital stock of said xompany to consist of . three . hundred thousand shares of one hundred . dollars each." i- ;; Tbebill provides . tbat tbe Commission ers, fifteen of whom shall constitute a quo rum, are to hold their Drat meeting at Ba- at City on tbe 1st of September, 1870. and organize by tbe choice, from their number, of a President, Vice-President. Secretary and Treasurer. " They are to have the right of way through all tbe public lands to tbe ! extent of t two boodred feet in width on " each side f the road.', , ," Tbe President of the United States shall tsuse the 1anditp.be surveyed for. forty miles an each side of the railroad, and shall Appoint tiree commissioners to examine and report whenever twenty eonsecntive Biles f railroad and telegraph line shall "have bee constructed ; whereupon the company shall fee entitled to twenty .alter nate seettaBS per mile on each side of the road, &4 whenever an additional section f twenty sites shall have been completed, , patents ball issue 'for the lands opposite aid section, and so on as fast as every ; twenty miles of the road Is completed. The lands so conveyed mot to be subject to any general or local tax until sold and conveyed by the" company. T i V ' The grant is made Nbjeet to tbe condi- tion : - That the said company hail eon raence tbe work on said road within two : years from the approval of this aet by the ; President, and shall complete not lees than twenty miles per year atler tbe second year f the work, .and .shall construct, equip, ; furnish, and complete .the" whole road by : tbe fourth 4ay July, Aano Domini eigbt j sen hundred and seventy-eight. ... v . , CommeBt otT this measure is hardly Dec- "'essary. - Everyone lj the conntry knows tbat uatil we can have some communica i tion with the world otherwise than through j gaa Francisco, Oregon is at the mercy of : California speculator. As long as mer ' basts sod shippers there Cave the whole coatrol uf uur frcigbti, just so long will iaey forward -or delay it, as best suits their owe interests. This one item is eaottgh te keep tbe trade of Oregon hampered aad crippled, saying nothing of their stealing the credit for our best products, palming j tofir tjwn trash off for wirs.-BB eo on. Besides atl this, we are obliged to pay tal iff on everything going out aad coming Id, and will be, too, until we can send our own freights and. passengers by our own routes. v Sewed hi this Kgbt, counectionby rail wKh San Prsmcisco Is only getting that tnact closer to the vampire that sucks our life-blood, while a road direct to Salt Lake pats s oa nn equality with them in the matter xK "sending borne prodnoU. if not in Mddiog Tor the Asiatic trade. Tbe road from Portland towards California will be a godd thing for tbe country as long as it af fords cheap aad speedy connection with our metropolis, out when completed it will reduce Portland to the condition of a sub urb to Ban Francisco, and then our anti - dote will be found in this same road that Mr. Williams' bill proposes to inaugurate immediately, to wbich we say, God speed A Declaration of Independence. Another of Iler Majesty's Colonies, in North America, bas set up an independent lorm of government Tbe lied River Col ony, in what is known as Prince Rupert 's land, have Issued a formal declaration of independence. . The document is over the signature of John Bruce, President, and Louis Rielle, Secretary, and is represented by the tele- grapu 10 do quite voluminous. The pre amble recites tbat "when a people have no no goyernment.tbey have the right to adopt whatever form tbey see fit. That tbe peo pie of Rupert's Land have heretofore re spected the authority of the company of adventurers known as the Hudson Bay Company, which circumstances placed over them. This government is far from answer ing tbo wanta of the people, and that tbe Company having abandoned, by transfer ring to a strange power, the sacred author ity confided to it, the people of Rupert's Land and tbe northwest territory became free from allegiance to said government. Tbey refuse to recognize the authority of Canada in sending back McDougall and bis companions, coming in the name of Canada to rule them with the rod of despotism, and they bnt acted in conformity with that sa cred right which commundfl every citizen to resist enslavement They will continue to oppose the establishment of Canadian authority under its announced form." The proclamation concludes as follows : "Fur thermore, we do declare and proclaim, in tbe name of tbe people of Rupert's Land and the northwest territory .that we have es tablished a provisional government and hold it to be tbe only lawful authority now in existence in Rupert s Land which claims the obedience and respect of tbe people. Meanwhile, we hold, ourselves in readiness to enter into snch negotiations with tbe Ca nadian Government as may be favorable to good government and tbe prosperity of the people. In the support of this declara tion, relying on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge ourselves on oath with our lives, our fortuues and our sacred houor to each other." Nor does this attempted revolution seem to us devoid of interest, or without reason able hopes of success. The settlers of the Red River colony seem to be united in their efforts to throw off the yoke of British rule, despite the assurance we are constantly re ceiving to the contrary. The fact, as re ported a few days since by the wires, that Governor McDougal failed to raise volun teers to assist bim In entering the rebellious district, speaks volumes as to the disposi tion of these people. The British official, on arriving by way of Dacotah at the boundary of bis jurisdiction, was prevent ed, lorcibly, from entering thereon, lie attempted 10 procure assistance from tbe disaffected inhabitants, but did not find any. The next resort was tbe friendly In dians, of whom quite a crowd was collect ed, but all deserted again on learning the object of their mission, with tbe exception of about fifty. In this predicament, Mc Dongal was compelled to retuin to tbe do minion of Canada, and time alone can show tbe next move. It Is said that troops cannot reach the scene of difficulty by any route lying entirely over British possession, and that tbe United States will not permit a march over ber soil, so that the Prince Rupert Republic is, in effect, isolated and inaccessible. In any event tbey will be free until next spring, as no body of troops could possibly be moved against them be fore then, and by that time tbe chapter of accidents may bring them annexation to the United States, Independence, a satisfac tory compromise or something else. And yet tbe idea of a little Colony thus boldly throwing down the gauntlet to tbe British lion, is an exhibition of pluck which we can but admire, and one that causes us to hope for their success. The Steamer Ann. "Some enterprising gentlemen of Benton countytbave organized a corporation, and purchased tbe steamer above named, for the navigation of tbe Long Tom, a branch of tbe Willamette River draining the best lands in that county and not navigable for any of tbe boats of tbe P. T. Company. Some weeks ago a discussion arose in tbe Corvallis papers as to tbe conduct of the P. T. Company towards the Company own ing tbe Ann ; the. Mercury charging that the Salem Company .had objected to tbe navigation of tbe Willamette by the Ann. and bad notified the Salem Mills tbat if the - Ann was to bring down wheat to tbat mill, r tbe P. T.' Company would not carry the product of the mill down the river. If we Jhad believed this at the time, we should " eetainly have noticed it and spoken, a word for the people of Benton county, but we have hecrd it with incredulity, and only notice It now, because tbe people of Ben- i ton county are said to have takeu it all for fact on tbe the repeated assertior s made in the Corvallia paper alluded to. So we have Investigated the facts, and are informed by the President of the P. T. rwimnv: tbat he bas never bad any diffi- . WUf- - - ' culty with the owners of tbo Ann; bas never objected to their br.ngiog wnea. to ; the Salem Mills or afly where else by that steamer, and do not so object now. Major Bruce came to him and proposed to have ( wheat taken from tbe Ann at Corvallis. An amicable and aatitfi story arrangement was made and Major Bruce left apparently sat isfied. No other proposition bas ever been made, bat Mr: McCnlly says he asked Bruce why the Ana didn't come to Salem and land the wheat feere , adding, that the P. T. Com- ' pany had no desire to monopolize the river and made no claim to own , it The Salem Mills hare tterer been notified that .if tbo Ann 'brengbt down wheat 4. the JP... Co. would net carry away ila Bour. j Umatilla Reservation. The people of Eastern Oregon are much interested in, the fact that a great body of Valuable land Is now shut out from 8.-t'Je- iam and occupancy by being set aside as an Indian Reservation, i. We. publish below the bill lately introduced into the Senate of the United States, tbe object of which is to satisfy tbo Indians on tbe Umatilla Reser vation and induce to consent to removal to other Reservations, in this State or Wash ington Territory. It is to be hoped the measure will be consummated in all re spects, and the lands now occupied there by . Indians, be speedily opened to settle ment by whites : December 6tb, Mr. Williams asked and, by unanimous consent, obtained leave to bring in the following bill, which was read twice and ordered to be printed. Be it enacted by the Senate and house qft Eeprtsentatives of the United States of Amer ica in Congress assembled. Tbat'the superin tendent of Indians affairs for the State of Oregon is hereby authorized to negotiate with the Indians upon the Umatilla reser vation in tbe State of Oregon, for the relin quishment to tbe United States of all their claims or right to salu reservation, and for their removal to other reservations in said State or Washington Territory; aad to del ray the expenses of said negotiation the sum ot two thousand dollars is hereby appropria ted out otany money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, or so much thereof as may be necessary, and the agent of tbe Umatilla reservation in Oregon anil the agentof the Yakama reservation in Washing Ion Territory, are hereby appointed to act with one commissioner, to be appointed by tbe President for such negotiation : Proitd evl, Tnat nil expenses incurred, and nil pay ments made or promised lo said Indians in acquiring their said right or claim, shall not exceed tbe probable proceeds of tbe sale of said reservations as hereinafter pro vided. Skc. 2. And be itfurfher enacted, Tbat tbe Commissiono of the General Land Office under tbe direction of the Secretary of the Interior, shall, after said negotiation is com pleted and ratified, cause the said reserva tion to be surveyed into tracts of one hun dred and sixtv ucres each, and after giving notice for three mr-nlha in two papers iu tbe State having -tbe largest circulation, shall cause tbe same to be sold at auction, iu tracts of not more than three hundred and twenty acres, to the highest and best bidder therefor, providing said lands shall not be sold for less than one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, to whom, upon payment of the purchase money, certificates of sale, entitling parties holding the same lo patents therein, Bball be issued. The Iowa Xorthwest gives tbe other sido of tbe Cardiff giant story. It seems tbat Hull, tbe fortunate discoverer) of tbe big thing, visited Fort Dodge, Iowa, some time last summer, and after, much difficulty suc ceeded in getting a block of gypsum twelve feet long which they loaded on a wagon and started for the railroad. The immense weight of tbo block crushed the wagon, and they then roughed dressed it d.' wn to II feet 3 inches loug, 3 feet 2 inches wide, and 22 inches thick. This was taken to New York iu September, after which it and its possessor were lost sight of until the date of the finding of the great mystery at Car diff. Tbe gypsum of Fort Dodge locality possesses tbe quality of being quickly con verted by the actiou of waler, a short time being sufficient for a running stream to make visible marks on u block of tbe stone. This giant was found in a course of a stream just where it could have been re duced from an appearance of freshness to one of antiquity, and although the Xorth wesl makes out a pretty strong case, wind ing up by a proposition that as tbe Cardiff giant is held at $109,000, and yields an in come of $1,500 per month, they will fur nish them to order in quantities to suit and very "cheap for cash." From Polk County. Daixas, Dec. 26tb. Ed. Statesman : Last Thursday the case of J. M. Coulter, of Salem, plaintiff, vs. D. Hunter, came, before Judge Collins, at chambers, on a motion by defendant to dis solve the attachment issued, on the ground that tbe debt had been fraudulently con tracted. Whitson & Sullivan on the motion and B. F. Bonham contra. The evidence was voluminous on both sides, and the mat ter was warmly contested. The attachment was dissolved, and the parties then settled their dispute amicably, and tbe suit was withdrawn. On tbe 23d, Scovill and Hawkins got into a dispute near Dallas, about pay for some work done by Hawkins for Scovill, when the latter drew a knife, and the other see ing tbat it meant business, let drive with an ax-bandle and " put a head '-' on his assail an and it was no baby '-head' either. The next day Scovill was brought before Justice Turner, on a chaige of assault with a dan gerous weapon, and was discharged. On tbe 24th,IIawkins was brought before Judge Collins for committment, on a charge of as sault with intent to kill, and was also dis charged. The Christmas Tree, at tbe Court House, was a brilliant affair, and everybody old and young went away in smiles. Judge Collins, as Chris. Kringle, on his appear ance upon tbo stage was received at first with the still silence of amazed astonish ment, then the audience burst forth in up. roarous peals of laughter and applause. He appeared in tbe character of a very portly Teutonic fairy, bedecked with bells and toys. During the delivery of bis ad dress, wbich was in broken English or broken German (it was hard to tell which), at tbe end of every sentence the building shook with peals of laughter ; and so, "Krees Kringle," whose "mudder be vos a Dutchman," and who "vos porn mit a Christmas on," &c,. was a very decided suc cess. Tbe tree was splendidly decked, and extravagantly loaded down with elegant presents. The evening before Christmas one John L. Sbelton and others went into the estab lishment of Mr, G, BvStiles, and made a wanton and unprovoked attack upon that gentleman. Sbelton,-being armed, com pelled Mr. Stiles to stand and take a most shocking beating and other gross insults at bis bands. And during - the same evening, in a carousal at Bill Clingan's saloon, the same fellow. Sheltori,- knocked Dr." Sites senseless with a bottle of liquor, cutting Dock's head in a frightful manner. s Tbo Fiencb Catholics are greatly in censed to bear tbat Father Hyacinthe had attended a Jewish Synagogue in New York.

The citizens of our county, are agitating the question of bringing the waters of the South Fork of the Santiam river to Albany by means of a canal of sufficient width and depth to make it navigable for towboatg. The canal would secure to Albany a water power tbat is very much needed, it would place the timber and lumber of the densely wooded section along the South Fork of the Santiam in the Albany market at a re duced price, besides furnishing .lumber to farmers at their doors all along the route. It would furnish a direct, speedy and cheap transportation to farmers for their products. Tbe estimated cost of building tbe canal does not exceed tbe amount already sub scribed by the citizens of Albany to secure the railroad depot witbin tbe limits ot the city. The canal would be of greater ad vantage to Albany and that portion of the county through which it would pass than tbe simple location of a railroad depot can be, as it would give Albany water power lor manufacturing purposes, which, together with communication with interior of the county and the access to a heavily timbered country, not taking into consideration the. water powers it 'might furnish along t e route, would overbalance any merely local advantage of a depot, and if the subscrip tion for tbe location of the depot were ap plied to building a canal. Ben. Ilolladay would pay for the privilage of locating a depot within our city limits instead of be ing paid for it. It is to be I oped tbe canal enterprise will t ike a definite and active form. . The canal is needed and ought to be built, and those who have had some exper ience in such enterprise say it will furnish a lucrative and speedy return on the capi tal invested,thereforn "it is a consummation devoutly to be wished." Christmas was celebrated here by 8ome of our city officials elect, after tbe manner of Nasby. The result of which celebration was a complaint against said officials for riotous and disorderly conduct Tbe com plainant being, as is reported, a drunken Irishman, but the officials are ahead of his time when it comes to whisky and saloons. Only one of those couiplained.of tbe future Marshal, was found guilty by his Hon. tbe Recorder, the others went scott free, the Recorder holding tbat Christmas was a val id excuse for all such disorderly conduct, but that the Marshal elect, in view of his futnre responsibility as conservator of the peace and good order of toe city, and this being the second time since his election tbat be has been charged with a like offense; he therefore fined him five dollars and costs. Mrs. Stowe and Her Critics. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette is responsible for the following statements: Mrs. Stowe's book on the Byron muddle is to be out in a few days. Shs is not so sure as she might be that it will have I he desired effect upon the public, and it is whispered tbat her mind bus been injured in conse quence of the attacks made upon her. She wrote her article with a wonderful lack of deliberation, and had no opportunity to measure ber strength to endure the inevita ble storm of cejisure. I am told constant fits of depres-ion have resulted iu a condi lion of tbe brain which is exceedingly dan gerous. In public life women are far more sensitive in regard to criticism than are men. One of our best noted singers used, when she began her career, to have hysterical at tacks over every adverse critique. Speak ing of Mrs. Stowe reminds me of what pe culiar giris ber two daughters are. Tbey have reached an age wfcen it is exceeding ly proper to speak of them in a Dickensy way as mature young ladies. They are very tall and not particularly handsome, bnt have a well-bred air and good features. Tbey are idependent as possible don't care a snap of the finger for rose-leaf con ventionalities. They have long and pretty hair, and wear it streaming down their backs, 6ligbtly crimped, and very fuzzy. In this guise and an open buggy tbey car-er up and down Hartford streets, hair and coat-tail I mean jackets flying and taking in health with every breatb. Mrs Ann S. Stephens has been very busy of late collecting the innumerable criticism written upon Mrs. Stowe's article, and intends to bring them out in book form. Mrs. Stephens is of opin ion that Mrs. Stowe and Henry Ward Beech er would be better people and much more useful if tbey bad religion. Mrs. Stephens is a well preserved name, possessing pretty gray hair wbich she is not ashamed of. Femalk Scfkrage. While Eastern and older States are slowly recovering from the shock their staid old notions ot propriety received by the mere proposition to give the suffrage to woman ; tbe West, peopled by those whose migratory habits and con sequent interchange of thoughts and ex pansion of. ideas has prepared them for any new subject, are already acting upon tbe question. In Wyoming a bill giving the fair sex the right to vote bas pissed both houses, and by tbe Governor s signature become a law. Tbe Wyoming Tribune says : Wyoming, from her rocky eyrie, sends greeting to the aged Sister States, and in vites them to come up higher even to that advanced position on tbe question of human rights wbich she seems disposed to occupy. Forgetting heathenish prejudices, arising from race or sex, she invites tbem to stand with her upon "the skirmish line of civiliza tion." The Genius of Liberty is on picket duty in Wyomiog. Already, the advancing skirmisher bas been challenged, and re quired to give the countersign ; he replies : "Human riehts ; equality before tbe law." to wbich tbe sentinel responds, "tbe coun tersign is correct pass on !" Pass on to a better national life to a grander civiliza tion ! Pass on, to condition where all man kind shall be politically regenerated, and and stand upon an equal plane, as they will before tbe throne of God! Tragedy in San Joaquin. A terrible murder occurred near Stockton on the 10th inst in which five men were murdered in cold blood. From tbe evidence before the Coronor "s inquest it appears probable that three Mexicans went to the store of Frank Medina intending to rob him; tbey took him with bis clerk, two Mexicans and a colored man, to a ravine a short distr.nce from the bouse, tied their hands, and perhaps takiag a sudden change of mind, or as some think being recognized by the Mexicans, they shot all five of their victims. They left the bodies where tbey fell, tied as they were, and returned to the store, took the cash, touching nothing else, locked tbe doors and fled. Next day parties, tracked the mur derers 30 miles to a bouse, wbich tbey sur rounded but tbe fugitives had escaped and all traee was lost. Tbe neighborhood is in a terrible state of excitement over the affair and also at what they consider tbe parsimo ny or indifference of the authorities in offer ing but a small reward for the arrest of the perpetrators of the horrible deed. A terrible fire occurred at Yeniseisk, Siberia, on the 20th of October. Hundreds! of lives were lost either by burning or by drowning as there was a tremendous storm raging at the time, and many persona sought safety on board of the shipping. Over 1.300 dwellings were consumed together with four cbnrcbes.two monasteries. All the public buildings and the principal storehouse in wbich was stored besides a vast quantity of grain 400,000 pounds of bops. , .. ; - .-. . .' i A woman is captain of a canal boat run ning into Cincinnati, and transacts bu:ness, says the Enquirer ', as well as a man. 7, GENERAL NEWS.

One lady wore $30,000 worth of jewelry. The dinner table was five hun dred feet in length, nnd tbe viands thereon represented $3,500. The new Capitol is said to be an edifice which for magnificence, beauty of architecture, and appropriateness of style and finish is the equal if not tbe superior of any State House iu the Union, and of which Califoriaians are justly prone".

In the section cn surgery a very curious and interesting practical application of a physiological fact has been exhibited by Dr. B. W. Richard son. F. R. S. It has long been known lo surgeons that an injury very rapidly inflict ed is not attended by suffering, and on this principle Dr. Richardson has constructed what he .tails a "painless knife.' li consists of a keen eircular blade, so connected with watch work in the handle that it can be made to revolve with great rapidity. It is found tbat when a speed of twenty-five complete revelations in a second bas been obtained, the edge of the knife may be ap plied to the animal body, end that it will divide tho soft part without pain or even conciousness. Tbe post officials in Cleavland had a live ly time a day or two since handling the 'mail matter .' In one of the pouches were two boxes of bees, on their way to Clarke county. Ohio. The boxes were about two inches square, and half an inch deep. Tbes-e boxes had breathing holes in top and side covered by a very fine wire gauze. There were, perhaps, a dozen bees in each box. and each box was provided with a small stick of candy for lunch on tbe way. Thi bees were Iive!y, and their stingers in good condition, ns tb Deputy Postmaster, it is said, can testify ; be having looked into the boxes to asertain wetber the matter was mailable, we beleive be decided that bees are not mailable mtrtter unless 'the stingers ar pulled. The bees were so lively ihey could not be cent to Washington us djad matter,' and so tbey were sent to their des tination a 1 but that one stinger the 'Cap tain' retained. Our frontier ladies do not seem to un derstand the necessity of taking I be cen- ksus and naturally resist such things. To one, at Lheynue, the collector, said : ntat is your age T'and she replied : ' That is an impudent question and I won't tell yon.' 'Well. I shall put you down at 30,' said Pierce. 'I'm only 27,' indignantly exclaim ed the now thoroughly enraged lady. The record was corrected accordingly. 'Mad am,' said Mr. Pierce to another lady." 'I have been at your house twice to take the census.' 'You had better not let me catch you there taking anything.' answered the independent woman. 'I want to know bow many children you have V asked Pierce, walking into a house. 'What's tbat your business?' answered the dame, 'so long as we don't ask you to keep them.' 'I am taking the census and must know,' pursu ed Pierce. 'Well I guess somebody has been a takiu' yours and you'd better be hunting them up young man,' vocilerated the dame. Divine Providence. A little error of the eye, a misguidance of tho hand, a slip of the foot, u startling of a horse, a sudden mist or a great shower, or a word unde signedly cast forth in an army Las turned the tide of victory from one side to another, and thereby disposed of empires and whole nations. No prince ever returns safe out of bat'le, but may well remember bow many blows and bullets have gone by tbat might easily have gone through bim ; und wnat liule, odd. unforeseen chances of death he basseen turned aside, which seemed in full, ready and direct career to have been post ing to him. All w bich passages, if we do not acknowledge to have been guided to their respective ends and effects by the con duct of a superior and Divine hand, we do. by the same assertion, cashier all Provi dence, strip the Almighty of His noblest nerrogative, nnd make God. not the gover nor, but the mere spectator of tbe world. Dr. South. Soap Suds. The value of this article as a stimulant of vepatable life cannot be too highly appreciated. It contains the ali ments of plants in a state of ready solution, and when applied acls not only with imme diate and obvious effect, but with a sustain ed energy wbich pertains to but few even of the most concentrated manners. The proper way to utilize this material is to cause its absorption iu a compost heap. Muck .or stable compost should be deposited where the drainage from the sink and laun dry, may find its way to tbem and be ab sorbed for the benefit of the crops. In this way sevf ral loads of most excellent manure, suitable for the support and sustenance of any crop, might be made at comparatively small expense. The highly putrescent char acter of this fermentable liquid qualifies it ad t.irably for the irregation of compost heaps of whatever material comprised. Be ing a potent fertilizer, it must, of necessity, impart additional richness to almost any material to which it may be added. Try it, and mark the result. It is predicted tbat the world will come to an end next year. This calamity is to result from a column of magnetic light from the sun. striking the earth, when an e.xhibiton of giguptic telegraphing maybe looked tor.
