c
" Magazinct. We havo on onr table Tilton's
Journal of Horticulture and Floral Magazine,
which will be found very interesting to all who
know anything about fruit and flowers, and
who does not, while those who don't know but
want to learn can do no better than to sub
scribe to this journal and road it.
Putnam's for February is on hand, and has
a splendid table of contents. "Trial by jury"
is an article with new ideas which must be felt
by all. And tho others are so promising we
intend to read them all.
Quiz. Having occasion to speak to one of
the Medical Professors last evening (Monday),
we were told that he had a "quiz" at his office
and could be found there. ' Accordingly we
ropaired to tho place designated, and cautious
ly entering, looked around to see what sort of
a beast or bird was "a quiz." The Professor
was seated in an easy chair, with a number of
students silting around the stove, cosily chat
ting about some scientific subject, but nary
bird or beast was to bo seen. On inquiring as
to whore was the quiz, clicitod an explanation
that the Doctor was "quizzing" the class on
their studies. "Only this and nothing more."

To the Working Cfie. Tho advertisement
of E. C. Allen fc Co., Augusta, Maine, prom
ises something satisfactory to tho?e out of bu
siness. What it is, we have no idea, but the
offer is liberal, and it costs little to inquire of
them by mail.
Long Keepere. Mr. Gear, a 8 n of R. C.
Gear, has in his cellar a couple of boxes of
Newtown Pippins of the crop of 1803, they
have been undisturbed since being placed there
and bid fare to keep, till apples emuc again,
unless the la.'t year's crop gives out.
Co Work For Salem. Wo are pleased to
see in California papers of late ltn, that Mr.
Burrows, of Santa Cruz, Cal., lias gone East
for the purpose of procuring material for the
construction of gas works in this city. There
is every reason to believe that the work will
be undertaken and completed the present sum
mer, and gas furnished to Salem by tho next
session of the Legislature.
Tho Joe Murphy troupe are announced for
Friday evening at the .Opera llourc. Joe
Murphy is a very wonderful delineator of char
turo iu comic phases. If there is really a time
to laugh, the people will find it out when Joe
gets a cbanoe at them before the foot lights.
He inado tha most successful engagement ever
Wide in Portland, and his audiences gained in
sized to the last. He has the genuine brogue
of an Irishman, cannot be excelled as a Dutch
man and does the Negro with all the charac
teristics. As there is no law in Oregon against
a man being just as funny as he knows how,
the probability is Joe Murphy will mako our
sober city fairly ring with laughter.
Work Commenced . The Commercial Hotel
Company commenced active operations yes
terday. The fixtures ia the premises have
been already removed, and the buildings on
the purchased ground will be immediately torn
down or removed ; the two main buildings to be
transferred to the vacant lot towards the bridge,
lately sold at auction by Joseph Watt, of Am
ity, and now owned by the Hotel Company ;
the temporary buildings between tbem will be
torn away ; the gymnasium, on the back of
the lot, is a good substantial two story build
ing, and will be moved on to ground still be
longing to Mr. Baker, adjoining the hotel.
The erection of this fine Hotel will put a dif
ferent face on affair at that end of Commer
cial street, and do much to keep business in
that vicinity. The erection of another Hotel
by the Opera House is still in prospect, and if
the two aro built by fall, our city will
be greatly the gainer.
County Court. Ordered that the winter rates
of ferriage of Buena Vista ferry be continued

Friday, February 11.
Married. Jan. 30th, 1869, at the residence
of Mr. I. T. Baxter, ly Rev. C. II. Wallace,
Mr. John Long and Miss Marrilla Peck, all
of Marion county , Oregon.
Stopped Ferrying. We are told that tho
o'd Humphrey's Ferry, across the Willamette
river, ten uiilej abovo Salem, has ceased op
erations. The business did not pay and h s
been suspended, of which the traveling public
should be aware.
Heady to Settle. A. N. G ibbert, City Treas
urer, informs us that tho Recorder has nego
tiated a loan of $700 coin f . r the city, and the
money is ready to settle all outstanding war
rauts. The loan was taken at the bunk, at
one per cent, per month.
Entertainment. The Literary entertainment
of the Good Templars on Monday next St.
Valentino's day is to be at the Legislative
Hall. The exercises consist of orations one
by S. C. Simpson, who is the orator of tho
young men of Oregon essays, songs, music
and the like. The great feature of the even
ing is to be a "Post office" for the distribution
of Valentines, which is sure to yield plenty
of fun, if properly conducted.
Theatrical. The Joe Murphy troupe arriv
ed last evening, and as we had a pleasant call
from the leading characters, we can speak
more emphatically in expressing the opinion
that those who attend the Opera House this
evening will be most ngreeably entertained.
Mr. Murphy consideres it his mission to make
tho world laugh, acd he possesses a wonder
ful capacity to fill the bill. He can only play
to-night, unless he learns that the steamer
will leave Portland later than was expected,
and therefore has adopted a programme which
gives tho greatest variety. He wants the pub
lic to understand that the performance to-night
will bo all fun, no stupid nonsense about it.
Valentine , There formerly existed a very
pretty fashion of sending love lotters on the
14th of February, with the understanding that
no offence should be taken at any ill-timed
declaration. It has, however, come to be al
most entirely a burlesque on the old fashion,
and tho most frightful carricatures rule tho
day. This plan is hardly as sentimental, but
is the occasion of a great deal ot sport, cspo-.
cially if you manage to take off sumo foible
of your victim and do it well. We expect
there will be great sport in Salem on Monday
next from tho number of oomie valentines that
are being sold at Ycaton & Boou's, for these
gentlemen are prepared to supply lovers in tho
most sentimental moods, as well as those who
view their friends in the moat comic aspect.
Tho coming season may not bo in some ro
spects as flourishing and successful as some
that have gone before, but there is reason to
believe that it will be attended with a fair
amount of prosperity. The rapid construction
of tho railroad through this valley may be
considered as decided upon, and that of itself
will insure tho employment of the floating
population ia a profitable manner, while it
will probably disburso nearly a million dol
lars in Oregon during the year 1870, and thus
add materially to our resources. If aid can
be secured fmm Congress the West Side roads
may be placed on a substantial financial basi?,
and money be brought from abroad to assist in
their construction. Tho prospect is that Sa
lem will improve materially and business bo
benefitted here by the construction of gas and
water works. We are now in the detid of
winter, when times are usually dull, but there
is no reason to doubt that the coming reason
will show great improvement and bring us a
fair sbaro of prosperity.

A Sehm3N is a Billiard Hall. Early
last Sunday morning the rumor was rife on our
streets that John Fergusou, of Benton county,
a well known advocate of the doctrine known
as Adveutism, would deliver a sermon iu sup
port of his views in Manahan's saloon, at the
hourofll o'clock that day. Out of curiosity,
and a natural desire to see the termination of
so novel an affair, about 50 persons assembled
at the place designated, and anxiously awaited
the arrival of the preacher. And, sure enough,
at about the time mentioned, he made his ap
pearance, and announced that he was ready to
'proceed with the services. He first stepped
up to the bar and ordered beer for all the
boose, after which be made a fervent praver
to God, and then proceeded to commence his
sermon. He opened his Bible, laid it on one
of the billiard tables, and announced his text,
and then for the space of about one hour he
addressed the attentive audience, setting forth
in glowing terms the doctrine which he ad
hered to. At the close, he again gave utter
ance to a short prayer, and then requested the
audience to rise while ho delivered the bene
diction, after which lie announced that be
would deliver another sermon at the same
place and honr on next Sunday. He then
again requested all present to come forward
and have something to drink, at his expense,
and a considerable number obeyed the sum
mons with alacrity.
The whole affair forcibly reminded na of the
scenes transacted in the dance house of the
celebrated ' wickedest man in New York ' af
ter his reformation, as it will be remembered
that prayer meetings were regularly held there,
and the place where once crime and licentious
ness bad full sway was converted into a meet
ing house, where pious souls met to worship
tho God who created them. Center Point

Meeting of t'nc Indian Commission-
A joint niedinj: cf the United States In
dian Commission, the Senate and House
Commifees on Indian Affairs, the Secretary
of the Interior and Ootntni.?sionr Parker
was held yesterday at the Deportment of the
Interior. The session lusted from ten to
four o'clock, and was largely attended.
Senator Buckingham, of Connecticut, was
chairman, and Jacob V. Faruell, of Illi
nois, secretary. After praver by ex-Governor
Lune, of Indiana, Senator Harlin
asked Mr. Brunat, chairman of the Coramis
sion, to give an account of the trip nitric
iu the Indian Territory by himself and col
leagues, Commissioners Dodge and Bishop,
which he did briefly, though grapbicilly.
Commissioner Colyer was then usked to re
peat his report of the day previous on Ari
zona and New Mexico.
Tim Secretary of the Interior urged upon
the Congressional Committees the value ot
services of this commission, which, be said,
although it had been in existence only nix
mouths, had visited ' half the Indian tribes
in the Union, at an expense so small that
tbey spent less than one-third of the small
appropriation of $25,000, and served whol
ly without pay. lie considered it of great
value to the Department, and hoped Con
gress would continue it permanently.
Commissioner Bishop said that one seri
ous objection to the present management of
the tribes was the constant change of ugenls
and sometimes of policy Hardly an agent
at the present time, had been with the tribes
lie had charge of for over six months. Com
missioner Lane, of Indiana, said he thought
we should make no more treaties with the
Indians, and thought Commissioner Colyer's
proposal for a code of laws and constabu
lary a good one.
Senator Corbett, of Oregon, regretted the
removal of the Rev. Mr. Wilbur from his
mission in Oregon, and Fpoke highly of his
work. He hoped the Commission would
visit Oregon next summer.
Senator ILirlan called earnest attention
to the serious difficulties in Ihe way of deal
ing with the Indians without treaties. The
fust step in negotiations, or even interviews
with the Iudiaus to make them move from
their old homes required their consent, aud
that involved a bargain, which was a treaty.
A general discussion here ensued on the
wisdom of abandoning treaties, iti which
Senators lioss. Harlan and Corbett, and
Congressmen Clarke, Doweese' and others
joined.
General Parker, Commissioner of Indi
an Affairs, complained ot the" want of dis
cretionary powers in the expenditure ol
money or supplies for Indians. It frequent
ly happened some trilling clause in the act
defining its appropriations kept money tied
np in his hands for months. He had now
over $100,000 for the Navajos, which he
could not use from this restriction. He be
lieved in abolishing the treaty system, and
thought reservation essential.
Commissioner Colyer concluded the ses
sion with an earnest anpeal for the Indians
in Alaska, giving a favorable account of
both people aud country. X. Y. Herald,

The Missoula Mines.
The Walla Walla Statesman says : Tlie
following letters, containing additional news
in relation to the new mines on the Missou
la, have been kindly placed in our hands
for publication :
Deer Lopoe City. M. T.. )
Dec. 20th, 1SG9. j
Deak Sik : This country, on account of
the drought through Ihe year, and the fail
ure of prospecting for placers, has been
very, very dull until within a few days.
But new nn exodus ot all classes takes
place from all the canips in the Territory
which have hitherto beeu tramping ground,
to a newly discovered placer camp, the
most extensive in prospect ever discovered
north of California, aud withal the heaviest
paying. You will have heard of it before
this reaches you. It is about 100 miles
lroin Missoula Mills, near Salmon Pass.
Mullan lload, and the main stream of water
is called Cedar Creek, which is about 20
miles long, prospecting well all the way.
Its tributaries also prospect well. The
stripping from five to nine feet. Some par
ties are said to be realizing $100 a day to
the hand. I am informed that Cedar Creek
and its tributaries are not the limits of
these discoveries, but that tho neighboring
waters abound in gold.
If all this turns out a3 well as hoped,
Helena, and the Missouri trade must get
slightly sick, while you western folks will
have the feeding and carrying trade tor a
while, f or there must be I wo cr three thou
sand people there already, and everybouy
is going. So mote it be. for without a God
send of this sort this Territory is the
sell in North America.
This town has spread out very respect
ably this year, but why it grew I cannot
tell, for its trade is inconsiderable ; but I
think the new discovery will end all fortune-making
by investment in Deer Lodge
town property.
Wm. D.Micol-.
Loi isvii.i.k, Dec. 31st, 18f0.
Friend Jim : 1 wrote to Dan. Hayes, in
forming him of the stampede. There is not
the slightest doubt but that it is the best
camp struck since Boise. Theie are, vf
coarse, extravagant reports, but I will tell
you what I have seen, and that is from live
to fifty cents to the pan, for about two miles
of tile creek in the grave!. Y"ou may rely
on this, as I have seen it. Numbers of the
boys with whom I am acquainted tell me
from day to day what they find and what
they have seen, but it is very hard nowa
days to take everything you hear tor grant
ed, as men perhaps may exaggerate what
they have seen, while at the same time
wishing to tell the trHth. Dan. Sheehey
got twenty-five cents to, the pan shoveling
it out of two feet of water. Lots are worth
$300 a piece ; bacon .50 cents per pound ;
Hour from S16 to $20 a hundred ; gum
boots $10 per pair, and other things in pro
portion. Josepu Booth.
Children and Religion.
A short time since very horrifying descrip
tions of 'children's revivals' were given in the
newspapers. To many it was hard to believe
that such sufferings could be inflicted ou in
nocent little children by professors of religion
iu these days of enlightenment ; yet to read
ers of juvenile literature the statement came
by no means as a revelation. Allowing re
ligious instruction, when nicelv adapted to the
capacities of the young, to be eminently in
structive and delightful, we are obliged to ad
mit that very little with which we are ac
quainted falls under this category. Qnestions
perplexinir to the callable adult mind, and nev
er dwelt upon too continuously without mischie
vous results, are propounded for the contiilera
tion of boys and girls in the nursery. For ex
ample, we lately took np by chance a little
book forming the staple religious manual of
four little scholars, whose ages ranged from
three and a half to seven. The first sentences
on which our eyes glanced ran as follows: Q
What will become of your body when you
die 1 A My bodv wilt be put in a box and
buried in a hole in the ground.' And this lit
tle book, according to its title page, has been
circulated to upwards ot eighty thousand !We
should like to destroy every one, and stop this
insidious system of terrorism for once aud for
all. Children are by nature very logical. Ex
cept to the dullest, words convey just so much
meaning as they are meant to convey, and
no more- It is not lobe supposed that when
they are made to learn page after page of this
sort of catechism, they forget it any more than
they forget their hymns and story-books. The
consequences are easy to conceive. The im
aginative suffer the terrors of fear ; the de
vout, the terrors of doubt ; the thoughtful are
made unhappy by the mysteries they cannot
understand, and the cloud whose silver liuing
they do not see.
We keep children as much as possible from
the saddest realities of life, such as pain, insan
ity, and dissolution, but with a envious incon
sistency , familiarize tbem with riddles twice
as hard to read and twice as painful in the
reading. Is it likely that robust physique and
strong characters are to be developed under
such a system T Childhood should be happy
and nnreflective above all things, it should be
fearless. To proa upon weak younif minds
the problems before which the bravest men
and women quail, Is, to say the least of it,
as unjustifiable as it is mischievous. But
there are yet other faults to be laid to the
charge of juvenile literature. In the first
place, there is a good deal too much of it. In
the second, it is a good deal too elaborate.
Let any one compare the children's books of
the last hundred years exhibited in the South
Kensington Museum with the display of books
on a bookseller's counter. What with gaudy
bindings, costly illustrations, and variety of
matter, children can no more help growing
over nice in the matter of reading, than they
can help losing their appetites if to daintily fed.
Half a dozen books iu oor young tlajs formed
the nursery or schoolroom library, and were
read and read with unflagging delight ; bnt
what child reads a story-book over twice now?
What story-book eets the chance of being read
twice over when the stock of story-books is
superabundant !
The fact is and an able writer in the Spec
tator pot the case admirably a few weeks
avo children are in danger of beinjr spoiled
by excessive worship. A simplification of
their literary pleasnrers and religious instruc
tion would be a step jn the right directiou, but
we must not stop heie. If we desire the next
generation to be a robust one, we must do
awav with the sort of luxury that does not fall
under these heads. Nursery toilettes, nursery
recreations, and the nursery commissariat are
equally to be charged with the sin of extrava
gance and inappropriatenees.
Onioks is Sickness. A correspondent
gives the following facts about onions, some
of them authenticated by several witnesses.
When at New Orleans, in charge of 190 men,
among whom cholera was raging, he observ
ed that those who ate rreely of onions were
surelv and fatally attacked ; he has, however,
found onions specially potent in cases of poi
sonous bites, his son and others having been
cured of snake bites by their use. He also
knows of a man who, iu the frenzy of hydro
phobia, ate onions voraciously and recovered.
In cases of epidemic he has discovered 1. That
onions in the room with small pox patients de
cay rapidly, blisters appeariug ou them. 2.
That they retain and communicate the virus
manv weeks. 3. That tbey prevent the small
pox 'by thus absorbing the virus. 4. That
when applied to the feet of fever patients they
quicklv turn black. He infers from these
facia that onions possess strong medical quali
ties ; that they should not be eaten during
epidemics, and that they are nrobably among
the most effective absorbents ot blood poisons
we have, as well as excelleut disinfectants.
Maryscille Appeal.
A Tough Horse. Says the Tidal Wave,
of Silver city, Idaho :
One of Minear's team horses fell over the
grade during the blinding snow storm of
Saturday in coming round Cape Horn this
side of the Oro Fitio mine, and lay for some
hours ou his back with his feet sticking up
through the snow. His feet were seen by
the men lrotn the road, but tbey had so
much on their hands in trying to sate the
animals that were still on their feet, and
supposing I his one already dead be was
thus neglected until the others were out of
the drift and on their way to the stable.
Some of the men then went to him, end
finding him still alive, shoveled the snow
away below him until he was able to get
up and continued to s-hovel and tramp un
til they got him down into the gulch, where
they cleared off a place for him to stand.
Here they blanketed and ted him and allow
ed him to remain until Sunday morning, as
it was by that ti'ne late at night.
On Sunday morning several of the boys
from the stable went up on horseback, and
notwithstanding the snow was still drifting
in perfect clouds and filled up all around the
old hero, he was still alive, aud when the
snow was sufficiently beaten, shoveled and
tram'ped down by the fresh horses ho seem
ed quite as anxious to make his way out of
there as the balance' of tbem. He is now
iu the stable where he enjoys his oats in
more comfortable quarters, and if he is
possessed of any reflective faculties is no
doubt exercising them on his experience in
a snow storm in War Eagle mountain.
Great Storms in England and Ireiand.
The auow tstorin which commenced
on Christmas eve, and continued at
intervals during Christmas day and
on Sunday, was drifted in some parts
of the Yorkshire and Durham moors
to a very great depth. Yesterday
morning, in the neighborhood of Bar
nard Castle, trains were considerably
delayed, la one instance, a train
from Middletown was unable to get.
through a snow drift, and an engine
had to be sent, from Barnard Castle
to search for it, the passengers, who
were not many in number, being
brought off on the engine. Between
Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland,
a train was delayed a considerable
time, while two engines were attach
ed to the first train going into West
moreland, to enable it to get through
the snow. Yesterday, a very heavy
fall of snow took place throughout
South Stafford shire and other por
tions of the West Midlands. It be
gan a little betore eleven o'clock in
the forenoon and continued for about
three hours. There had previously
been a frost, aud the grouud, there
fore, retained it as fast as it fell with
out a thaw. The wind blew briskly
from the north and northeast, and in
some places, therefore, the fall of snow
must be measured by feet ; whilst
over the general surface the foot of the
passenger sank iu considerable above
boot tops. The traffic upon the
Great Western and also upon the
London and Northwestern lines was
much impeded, aud the trains were
mostly detained. There were fears
that in some parts the liues, both
uorth aud south, would be blocked.
A fearful, gale accompanied by
heavy rain, prevailed throughout the
southern counties yesterday morning.
In Limerick the storm produced a ter
rible catastrophe. At six o'clock,
when the gale was at its Light, the
wind caught the chimney of a ricket
ty four-stouried house on John street
and tumbled it over on the roof, which
collapsed with the floor beneath.
There were sixteen individuals, be
longing to several families, in the
house, and, the whole of them being
in bed at the time, were buried be
neath the debris. Five were taken
out dead, seven severely injured, and
two are Btill missing. Three of the
inmates escaped with slight injuries.
In Kerry the gale is reported to have
done much damage, and in several lo
calities the roads have been rendered
impassible by floods. The Black
water rose rapidly yesterday, and last
night a considerable portion of Mal
low was under water. London News

To Purify Cisters Water.
Let the spout run to the bottom of the
ciftern. You will then have new wa
ter every time it rains the old wa
ter will be buoyed or borne up, and
thrown off. Sometimes a single rain
will throw off all the old water, and
give entirely new. If you have any
doubt of this, fill a pail with water,
run a tube to the bottom of it, and, by
means of a funnel, turn more water
in by way of the tube, and you will
Bee that the water you turn into the
tube will go to the bottom of the pail,
and the water you put in first will be
thrown off.

The President's Opinion.
Schuyler Colfax says the following
terse and emphatic remark of Presi
dent Grant to Attorney General Hoar,
and quoted by the latter at the recent
New England dinner in New York,
is worthy to be printed in letters of
gold :
I hope to see the time when every
man in thi3 country may have pow
er to express his own opinion, to fol
low whom he pleases, to vote as he
likes, and to have his vote counted,
without molestation, or hindrance or
insult. If we can only unite in main
taining public faith and credit, our
political differences will not be of
much account."
In Amador county, California, says
the Sacramento Union, scrip is bo
worthless that it takes three dollars of

to add that the democracy had a ma
jority when the county was organized
and maintains it firmly to this day.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
In the Rainy Season,
When the earth Is saturated with moisture, and the
air is surcharged with unwholesome exhaustions,
the vital forces of the body are less active thaa h
clear weather, and the spirits correpondinsly de
pressed. It is under such circumstarres that the
invigorating, vivifying and cheering properties of
HOSTETTER'S STOMAC1I BITTERS are made es
pecially manifest. Half a wine g1as full, taken
three times a day, will so tone and strengthen the di
gestive organs and the nervous system, that neither
the miasma arising from the wet soil, nor the gloom
of a sunless sky, will produce the usual effect upon
the health and spirits. Persons who are peculiar
ly sensitive to external changes, will find this agree
oble tonic the best means of steeling their systems
again vicissitudes of temperature, and all varia
tions In the state of the atmosphere. What the
poet, Cowper, said of tea, applies with ten-fold force
to this inestimable nervine stomachic. It cheery
but not inebriate." This, however, is only one of
Its merits. It literally revolutionises the condition
of the feeble, debilitated and deapondinE Imparting
healthful activity to the secretive organs, regulating
the bowels, and giving a new and permanent im
pulse to the effete and torpid animal machinery. The
mind, sympathising with the refreshed, invigorated
body, recovers Its elacticlty, and life tak;s a brighter
aspect under the effects of this harmless vegetable
exhilarant.
