Soaator Corbett informs as that xno oTA.Tfisx an a as been designated as oe of the paitera, ia Oregon, to publish the laws of the United State?. We are under obligations to ear Senators in "NVnshiugton for numerous favors in tho line of public document?, including a copy ef the OUthr, containing the proceedings ia full of the present session. We learn that the steamer Albany Las been laid up ia Oregon City to repair the damages sustained whilo on her last trip up the river. She will not be on again for as much as two weeks. Mr. Sylvester Simpson left last evening by stage for Eugene, Jo deliver bis lecture on "Georgo Peabody," before the Odd Fellows' Association, which is expected to eome off this evening. J. C. Cartwright, Esq., U. S. District At torney, was in town yesterday, as we under stand, on his way South upon business eon nected with the courts. Marshal Young will probably continue bis journey South, attend ing to bis official duties. Boy, Take Warning .'The City Marshal, Mr. Glover, says the boys of Salem are doing too much shooting around town nights and Sundays, and that ho shall be compelled to take a little trouble about it if the row con tinues. The Treasury of tho State has . boen for many mouths past guarded at night by Mr. John Woodbury, whoso health not being good leuvps this morning for San Francisco. Mr. John W. Morgan will hereafter act as guard ian, at night, of the State finances. Tc D. Winchester, Esq., of Empire City, called on us last week as he passed through hereon his return from Portland, where he had been in connection with charges made against individuals in that vicinity of cutting timber on the' public lands-. . It is to be hoped that his journey will result in relieving the people of the Bay of trouble until the action of Congress can bring permanent relief. A mock Legislature meets once a week at Siloam school house, Waldo Hills, which the people of that vicinity attend and conduct greatly to their amusement, as a meaas of so ciar enjoyment during theee long wintry even ings. A great deal of information is acquir ed by those attending and sustaining literary societies and such gatherings as the above, and they should receive encouragement in every neighborhood. Died. At his residence, on French Prairie, November 30, 13(59, Stanley Ruggles, in the 5Sth year of his age. The deceased came to Oregon some time in 1855 with his family and settled in Marion county. lie was a member of tho Congregational Church of this place, lived a consistent and exemplary Christian, anil died triumphant in the Faith of Christ. lie leaves a family of five children, who mourn as not without hope. Funeral services were held by tho Rev. 0. Dickinson. Michigan and Iowa papers please copy. Come Home. Major George Willinms, son of E. Williams, Esq., ono of our oldest citi zens, has just returned to Salem, having been relieved from active duty on the staff of Gen. Crook, at his own request ; intending, as we are informed, to take up his permanent resi dence at his old home, with no intention here after of renewing his active service in tho army. Major Williams received his present brevet rank, at the solicitations of tho officers of his old regiment, long after tho war was ended, a gratifying proof of his worth and their regard. He was placed, years ago, on the retired list, as incapacitated for active ser vice by the loss of a limb at the great conflict of Gettysburg, but has for some years been em ployed on staff duty by Generals commanding this District. After bis recovery from the wounds received at Gettysburg, he was em ployed as mustering officer for Hancock's vet eran corps, and astonished the bounty-jump era by proving incorruptible. His record is a good ono, and he was one of the few who up held the name of Oregon in our armies dur ing the war. Our citizens will be pleased to learn that George will probably be "one of us " hereafter. Council Proceedings. Salim, Jan. 4, 1870. The members elect of the Conr.cil for the year 1870, were called to order by his Uonor the Mayor, at the new Conncit Chamber at (ijp.ro. The oath of office wa administeied by Kecorder Thompson, and taken and snb. scribed by Mayor L. S. Scott, and Aldermen Bridges, Brown, Skiff, Starkey, Wade, Wil liams and Wright, Alderman. Starkey being absent. The majority of the Committee to procure a room for the Council, reported that they bad rented Room No. 6. iu SIr.T. McF. rattotB building, at $100 per annnm. Report adopted. A petition for a sidewalk on the north side of State street, from the east side of Ead's lot to Mill street. Kefered to the Committe on etreelH. The Council then proceeded to the election of officers with the following result : City Attorney, J. N. Knight; Street Com missioner, W. 8. Barker; City Surveyor, C. 8. Woodworth. Mr. McManus came beforo the Council and stated that in reference to the straightening . of Front street, ho and two others of the prop erty holders would sell the front of their lots for $65 each ; two others were not represented, llcferred to the Committee on Streets. A number of bills were road, and thoso cer tified to by officers of the city, ordered paid ; tho others were referred to the Finance Com niittco. On motion the Marshal was instructed to proceed to enforce payment vf the delinquent tax according to law. Report of Marshal referred to Finance Com mittee. Report of City Treasurer also refer red to Finance Committee. The report of Street Commissioner shows the total amount laid out on street improve ments $2,670. Report received and placed on file, and ordered that the delinquent alley tax be turned over to the City Marshal. . On motion a committee were appointed to advertise for and receive proposals to clear the stumps from Marion Square. Adjourned. Thnratlay, Jaa. 6. Jason L. Royal says be is ready to mend as well as to sell anything in bis line. Dr. Chance is out again with something pew. Read his few remarks concerning "den tal apartments" in our advertising columns. ConqAimentary.Tbe Oregon Medical and Surgical Reporter receives the following no tice from the California Medical Qaustte : "If merit we're always appreciated, we might pre dict, with certainty, a large circulation for onr cotemporary journal, from the highly ecien. tifio and practical nature of its original con tr.buti ns." rtg William Davidson, of Portland, the collect ing agent, has been otiUged ' to increase his force, and advertises that Mr. W. F. Brown u 1m autheriscd iigreat, whilo Davidson is agent for so many others. Prufesser Frsrnors -says that he found so many frwnds -at ais farewell benefit that he has concluded to stay awhile, and further mope, tkatas he lias lost money at the benefit, he is compelled to stay to get even ; so he ad vertises to-day fur pupils in tho study of mu sic. , Supervisor. For several years past our city has had very officicut Street Commissioners and Supervisors, and the work done shows their success. Mr. Matheny, who served last year, accomplished a great deal and rendered entire satisfaction. He is succeeded by W. S. Barker, who was elected by the new Council, and will carry on the work of street improve ments with judgment, and devote his entire attention to his official duties. The appoint ment is received with general satisfaction. An Incident. Tuesday evening, just after the new Council had been sworn in, and as the Mayor was proceeding with the regular order of business, Mr. Williams was found standing in the middle of the floor with some thing in his hand, which afterwards proved to be a splendid inkstand. In a neat little speech ho presented it to the Mayor, as a mark of their esteem and their appreciation of his services as presiding offioer during thepast year. His Honor briefly replied that he had no speech to make, but if his course during tho past year had been satisfactory to the Council he was content, but the inkstand he would certainly accept with pleasure and with pride. Preientation and Speech. On Tuesday even ing, somo time after Mayor Scott was assault cd with the inkstand, he got even on the out going Marshal, Chapman. Calling Chapman up, His Honor produced a large and splendid gold pen and case, and thus addressed the cul prit : "Mr. Marshal, it is said that 'the pen is mightier than the sword,' and hence I am authorized by the Police Department to pre sent you this pen, as a token of their high ap- reciation of your services in wielding the sword of state over this city during the past year." The recipient was somewhat taken back, but replied in substance that he was not prepared to make a speech, but he was pre pared to stand the oysters whenever the au gust assemblage should adjourn, which hap pened very soon after that remark. Comfortable Quarter. The City Council made a good move in appointing a" committee, and the committee did themselves credit in fit ting up a Council Chamber, of which no one need bo ashamed. The new room is No. 6 in Patton's brick, and is furnish'ed with desks Land charts for the members ; the floor is well carpeted, and lest tho cool weather should chill the ardor of the incoming Council, the new "Pride" parlor stove was blazingaway at a furious rato when the members assembled last evening. The desks were of maple, neat and substantially made, at the establishment,1 of Parmenter & Babcock ; the chairs were from the same place ; the Pride was from An derson & Brown's, and cost $13. The total cost of fitting up J.he room is about $200, and the money is evidently well invested. Fire. Tho boys hdd another call yesterday afternoon, enough to keep them in practice and at the same time demonstrate that we could not do without the Department. About four o'clock Mrs. Willson's building, on State street, took fire from a stove. pipe in Mr. Lob- dell's Gallery, as we are informed, and soon the roof was on fire in a hundred places. The companies were promptly on the ground, No. 2 retting the first water, and the fire was squelched just in time to save several thou sand dollars' worth of property. The proper ty was insured ; the loss is difficult to esti mate, as some damage was done by fire, some by water and some by axes, but none that was avoidable as far as we could sec. The offices in that building were emptied pretty quickly and not without reason, for the row would burn like matches if it ever got good headway. "Bilet Over." A small sized and small souled bucolic cotemporary, that has been in the habit of stealing our items to make its col umns interesting, has found relief in expend ing its bile upon some journal which refuses to "worship money-bags." We don't see any room for argument, for if the bucolic fellow, aforesaid, wants to be a toady, there is no law against it, and if the other paper is disposed to run to suit itself and suit the public, who has a right to complain ? The bucolic gent had better save his brains to run his job office, and his type to help the coming Democratic daily. We might go further, and ask the State Agricultural Society if it is not afraid that some type we wot of will be to demoral ized, with publishing Democratic fictions, that it cannot be depended on for telling plain ag ricultural facts, but will defer that until an other time. Meteorology. We have received Mr. Thos. Pearoe's weather record for December, 1869, from which it appears that there were 9 clear days 3 eloudy, 6 foggy and 13 rainy. The 1st was clear, 2d foggy, tM clear, 4th and 5th fog, 6th to 12th inclusive rainy, 13th clear, 14th and 15th fog, 16th rainy, 17th to 21st clear, 22d cloudy, 23d to 27th rainy, 28th and 29th clear, 30th (og, 31st clear. Thunder on the 10th during the day in the Bouth and lightning in the north at night. The heaviest raiufall was on the 24th. when 0.90 inches fell; total rainfall 4.85 inches. Mean temperature for the month 37; highest mean temperature 46, on the 12th: lowest mean temperature 24, on the 21st. Compared with December, 1868, there were in that month 18 rainy, 8 clear and & cloudy days; mean temperature 40, highest 47, lowest 32. k This abstract is from a record of observa tions made at Eola, which is a locality a little above the lino of morning fogs, and perhaps a trifle warmor than tbo wet lowlands, as we see that the snow which fell iu Washington to the depth of an inch and a half on the 20th, and in Yamhill half an inch, did not pnt in an ap pearance in Polk, nor did it in this part of Marion. The record shows that no snow has fallen during the year 1869 at that place ; in the same period there were 201 clear days, 53 cloudy, and 111 rainy days; the highest mean temperature was 68, in June, and the lowest 37, in December. Mr. Pearce will continue to furnish our readers with interesting facts from bis reoord. Weather Record, kept by T.

Only two nights ago, a very foggy night, one of the citizens of the sur rounding country, who has an appetite for ootning to Salem, and seldom fails to satisfy his nppetito when he comes, having imbibed large draughts, and so become doubly befog ged, wandered around town until 2 o'clock in the morning, so mixed up with the prevailing element that he was, at length, only able to recognize a lamp post ; but that lent him a friendly look and so ho leaned against it, and called for the "watch" with all his might. Ho was cold chilled through to desperation colder than the fog ; had fancied that a big, black Newfoundland dog, which he had fol lowed half a mile, belonged to a friend and would lead bitn to bis house, but it was anoth er man's dog, and led him to Marion Square ; but the night watchman, after awhile, found hiin, as he trod bis lonely rounds, and took him to a place of warmth nnd shelter, where the poor fellow drowsed off into the land of Nod. ino magazines tor January are arriving from the publishers. Harper's opens with a continuation of the interesting articles con etrning 1 reuerick tho Ureat ; following it is an illustrated , sketch of the National Capitol, tho writer of which docs not seem to antici pate a speedy removal. There is another il lnstrfltnd nrticlo. "llinl Tlnnat nnrl PiaVi " Paul Du Chaillu takes the reader to the jun gles of equatorial Africa, and with the usual amount of storios, and the regular fun in the drawer, this popular favorite commences the year 1870. ' Putnam's photographs tho career of Father Hyacinthe for its world of readers, treats the relations of Cuba and Spain historically, and essays to describe American hotels in their re lation to European houses of the sort, and their adaptability to human uses. Tho rest of tho pages cover tho usual amuunt of light and current literature. Madame Demorost holds tho mirror of fash ion up to all tho readers of her model parlor magazine, with tho usual success. We are not ablo to judge concerning tho the 1-idiest fashion plates, but we found much' of intetes' in tho magazine besides the fashion plates. Friday, January 7. The steamer Montana is advertised to leave Portland for San Francisco to-morrow after noon at 4 o'clock. Citij Officer. Col. Knight was elected City Attorney for the coming year, and Mr. C. Woodworth was re-elected City Engineer, at the late meeting of the City Council. Regular meeting of Daughters of Rebekali Degreo Lodge, No. 1, this (Friday) evening o'clock. A general attendance is requested. By order of tho 2T. G. We learn that Jesse Williams, the old col ored inan who was robbed on New Year's day, has bad the loss mado up to him by his col ored friends, assisted by contributions from several of tho white citizens. By tho Portland papers we see that our townsmen are running the Portland Iron Works. Tho Directors for the ensuing year are David McCully, E. N. Cooke, A. Myers, J. B. Price au'd J. L. Starkey. The election of officers was to come off yesterday. Plastering. Stroup fc Foster nre engaged in finishing the upper story of Mallory's brick, on State street. The basement has been fitted up and is occupied, nnd we under stand that Mr. Mallory intends to move into the upper story as soon as it can be complet ed, and then finish the ground floor for rent ing purposes. We are informed by tho Rev. J. L. Parrish, who yesterday visited five of tho schools in Salem, and addressed the little folks there, that they arc well attended and doing finely. Mr. Parrish thinks the educational interest of the place was never in better condition than af present. Two policfinen in New York have re cently been convicted of highway robbery and sentenced to five years imprisonment. They set upon a countryman named Wells and robbed him of S500. What must the rogues be ia a place where the policemen are highway robbers? Pork Packing. We loam that Mr. Thomas Cross, of this place, has already, this season, put down about 5,000 good fat hogs at his packing establishment, and has some 1,500 head yet in his pens. This will have a tend ency to relieve Catiforuians Irom the task of manufacturing "Cross Sugar Cured Hams'' from their own wild hogs. For an Irritated Tbroat, Cough or Cold, "Brown's Bronchial Troches" are offered with the fullest confidence in their efficacy. They have been thoroughly tested, and maintain the good reputation they have juslly acquired. As there are imitations, be snre to obtain the genuine, DamageJpaid. In a conversation with Mr. James Finlayson, f Albany, he informed us that his son, C. T. Finlayson, the well known teacher, was one of the suffer era by the rail road disaster in California. Mr. Finlayson was ono of the occupants of tho "telescoped" car and was seriously injured by the concus sion, and afterwards burnt by the hot steam. Mrs. linlayson, who is in Eugene City, has received word from her husband that tho Cen tral Pacific Railroad Company have paid him $1,000 in liquidation of damages. The Com pany are settling with the sufferers without re sort to litigation. The phrase "put a head on him" is not classic by any means ; on the contrary, it is slang, and very common slang at that. We can explain tho use of the term by an illus tration : For instance, imagine that some person has ran up a score at the Pony Saloon, and not being willing to settle as required, ac quires a lot of hostility by drinking at some other shop and then goes in to quarrel it out with his friends at the Pony ; and they, in the friendliest manner, satisfy him by a few licks over the head. That is what is techni cally called "putting a head on him ;" and that was exactly what happened the day be fore yesterday; but we don't know who the parties were, or where the police were, and we are glad that we not. f WILLIAM DAVIDSON.

Maulton's Labor-Saving- Washing Soap This Soup, from its chemical compound, w!ll s- tonish any and all persons that wiil try it, and is de cidedly better adapttd for all purposes than any other soap before used. For Kitchen purposes, such as washing dishts, g'.assware, etc., it is unexcelled. You can clean glassware as clear as crystal with the least trouble. For cleaning fioors you need no mop Stick, scrub broom, or anything of the kind. A good warm suds, and a common brush broom, are all that is required. After washing with this soup, your hands don't look a? if they had been boiled, but, on the contrary, it leaves them smooth and nice. All the labor that is required to wash the dirtiest of clothes ia a few minutes' boiling and a good rins ing no patent nashliig-machine or washboards re- quirel. There are various reasons why the superi ority of this Saap is claimed overall other Soap, to- wit : The certainty cf Its washing without the slight est rubbing ; its leaving the clothes In a bleached state, instead of yellowiuK ; you can bleach tlie common brown domestic with it in two boilings ; it is insured not to injure the finest fabric ; It will not decompose colors nor draw up flannels, but leaves them as soft as they were the day you bought them It is also claimed that this St ap is far cheaper than any other in the market, from the fact that you can wash more clothes with It In two honrs, without rub bing, than you can with any other soap in the known world, oy rubbing, in ten hours.
