SALEM, FRIDAY, : : : MARCH 4
THE CITY AND COUNTRY.
n Wednesday! IHnrcU S.
JohJ. Kodge Jfc Co., of San FrancL-co,
liavo an ad. in our culumus worthy of atten
tion, as tkey have a largo stock of Stationery,
Blank Books, School Rooks, Cutlery, Notions,
etc., and ace ready ti supply the trade in the
ben manner.
Chicken, Snyder' celebrated Scio trains
(four four-horse trains) came Uowa yesterday.
Two of the wagons were loaded and piled up
with ehickeus. The drivers didn't kuow how
many, and no one round there cared to try
counting them.
aeon. A large lot of Cross' bacon was on
the wharf, nicely boxed up, yesterday, await
ing shipment below. There is a great advant
age in putting up baeou in good boxes, as lr.
Cross does, iiitua4 of in gunny tacks, as it
costs but little if any more.
Hard Wood. We notice J wood at the wharf
yesterday coming to Salem from all directions.
There were hickory fur wagon-iaakiag, from
the Atlautic States ; a line ljt of neck-yoke
of Oregon white ash, from up the river, and
cord-wood of all kinds trout everywhere.
Charles Dimon, commission merchant. New
York, has a card in' this paper, offering his
services to buy, sell, or forward all kind of
merchandise. Mr. Diuion is a well known
and highly respeetable merchant, and gives
the most reliablaireferenses. He undoubtedly
possesses peculiar facilities lor transacting
busicess.
The navigation of the Umpqua is a fixed
fact. There seems to be no limit to tho intro
duction of steam navigation in Oregon, not a
little creek in the country but is liable ut any
'day to bo invadwi by tho putt and thriek of
some little steamer, drawing from one-half to
seven-eighths of an inch of water, when loaded.
Dividing the Sjmif. The firm of Wade,
Bolter it Co. were engaged yesterday in di
viding their stock of goods. We understand
that Messrs Worlley i, Bolter, who go to El
lendale this week, will put their stock into a
store there. Mr. Wade has not fully decided what
to do with his elephant, but thinks he will close
out the business.
Marion Square. Those hateful stumps in
Marion srjuare hold out well. We were in
hopes that they would all be removed in tiino to
let the grass grow over the spots this spring,
but as they do not secui to be more than half
gone, we tltiuk it extremely doubtful now.
The grass is growing beautifully, and the
square promises to bo wore hadsome than ever
the coming summer.
Real Ettnte Sale. The Swegle estate, which
was sold at auction on Saturday last, by J. N.
Matben v, assignee, brought about $'J,000. The
Matheny farm, for which Mr. Sweglc paid, last
summer, $7,970, brought $5, 5U0 ; other parcels
sjI 1 cheaper proportionality. There will prob
ably be enough realized from the estate to pay
the unprel'erred claims at sixty cents on the
ilollar.
Aim Firm i.t Portland. Wc publish to
morrow the business card of Messrs. Russell
A i'erry, Real Estate and Collection Agents.
The people of Portland have long known Mr.
Ferry as an energetic and acccomplished busi
ness man.and of course a successful one, while
E. F. Russell, long a resident of Albany and
reengaged in the practice of law, has about as
many friends as he needs, and can be depend
ed on as worthy of confidence. We commend
the new firm to tho good will of the public.
nnouia oe .inenaea. to. a menu iniorraeu
us that there is a camp of Indians on the
bank ot the creek, just back of the Inetitute
which is a nuisance. Hen-roosts are robbed,
and nil sorts of depredations are committed in
the neighborhood ; but worse than this, the
yells and screeches which often affright the
ear at midnight in that locality, tell too plain
ly that this is a canker in our peaceful city,
and one, for the welfare of our community,
that should be gotten rid of at an early day.
At Went Point. Mr. F. G. Schwatka, of
this place, recently heard from his son Fred,
who is at the West Point Military 'Academy,
that ho had received so severe a sprain of the
ankle as to be laid up for a month. Ho was
in the riding school, practicing a feat in the
drill, which consists of vaulting into saddle
while your horse is on the full run. Youhg
Schwatka's vaulting ambition overlcapt itself
and he landed on the other side of bis horse,
with the above results ; but he adds, as a con
solatory idea, that eometitnes there Are three
or four cadets disabled at a single drill.
Conflict in Linn. We hear from a friend
who came down the river yesterday, that there
was. a fight at Sand Ridge Precinct, 12 miles
from Albany, in which nobody was much hurt
One man got knocked over with a club, and
the said party, having been boat over the head
a bit with a pistol and club, was brought into
town and fiued. The fellows wh i had tho
club and pistol mde complaint against those
who were maimed, and probably tho others
will have their turn, or have had it. It seems
rather comical that two well-armed men have
claimed the protection of law against men
whose only weapons Were their fists, but that
seems to be tho way they do things up in
Linn.
Returned. Mr. Joseph Ilohuan, who came
up on the Montana, arrived on tho steamer
last evening, returning from his journey to the
States. He looks well and has evidently been
well kept while absent. It is evident that Mr.
Holman did not forget tho interests of Oregon
while he was back among the older States, for
ho brought back with him, among other things,
some splendid Cotswold sheepa very large
buck and two ewes all ol them bearing heavy
fleeces. Tho buck, in particular, was a fine
fellow. If any one wants to see a large car
cass of mutton, now is their chance.
Redemption of Stole Hond. The bids for
sul render of State Bounty and Relief bonds,
with accrued interest from January first, were
opened yesterday at the State Department and
amounted to several times tho $25,000 called
to be redeemed. The bids accepted were for
Re.licf bonds as follows : f 1,259 at 913 cents,
$5,741 at 97 cents. The total amount to be re
deemed was ten thousand dollars.
The bids accepted for Bounty bonds were as
follows: 350 at 95 cents, $400 at 97 cents,
$11,250 at $1 00. (This shows Oregon State
credit to bo at a healthy standpoint, for it
must bo recollected these bonds draw only 7
per cent, interest, when the usual rate of
interest charged in the Stite is one per cent,
p.r month.
Female Suffrage. Mr. Todd desires that we
shall inform the ladies of Salem, that those
citizens, male and female, who favor female
suffrage, are invited to meet at the Opora
II'iuso Friday a 2 p. m. We are not prepared
i denoni'ce or support a movement favoring
female sunrage, but we think it doubtful if
any g od can result from the agitation of the
subject in this State until it has been well
teste 1 elsewhere. And we also doubt if
I be majority of the women of Oregon will
thank any one fir endeavoring to prematurely
thrust the right of suffrage upon them. When
ever it shall seem right that this subject be
brought prominently before the people, we trust
that leading minds of both sexes will lead in
the movement and lend all their powers to its
advocacy, and not compromise the name of
woman by feeble endeavors. r
An Inventor. Mr. Samuel Welch, of Bel-
ssi, has shown us the drawings and specifi-
"Jtiions on which he was lately awarded a
patent for an improvement in gang plows, j
His plow was on exhibition at the State Fair
1 tst fall, and did very good work. Mr. Welch j
has constructed a self-tightening wheel which
is designed to do away with shrunken wheels
or loose ties, with the consequent cutting and
setting delays and expenses. The principle
of this wheel is new ; by tightening a screw
on the end of the hub, a wedge is driven un
der tho end of the spoke, or withdrawn as the
case may be; one can thus tighten np his
wheels as the wood 'shrinks in summer or
loosens in winter time when exposed to the
rain and mud which causes them to swell and
warp if too tightly confined. We think tho
idea a good one, and hope to see the origina
tor well remunerated for Ms. invention.
lie not deceived by imitations of Ilali'a Veg
etable Sicilian Hair Reuewer ; call for Hall's
and accept no other. .
Thursday, h't h. 3.
Break Ground. Teams and men com
mence work this morning on the excavations
for the cellar of tho Commercial Hotel. There
is not a day to be lost, if the Company iu
tend, as they say, to open the hotel before
Fair week.
Dr. J. C. Grubbs oners his professional ser
vices to the citizens of Salem and viciuity, as
will be seen by his card. He is an Oregon boy
with lots of energy, and having become well
qualified for tho practice of medicine, will no
djubt make his way stc-'essfully.
Hon. Alanson Sinih, a3 will be seen by our
advertising columns, has opened a law office in
Portland and claims a share of business.
Judge Smith has been for several years con
nected with, odd of the -leading law firms in
tho State, and our readers will require no fur
ther introduction.
Out of Debt. A few months since, the
Christian Church of this city was heavily em
harassed, bat we announced, not long since,
that it was entirely out of debt. It seems the
fact was accomplished by the ait of. the pastor,
who furnished the balance required to extin
guish tho debt out of his own money. The
friends of the Church were not willing, how
ever, to let the matterrest thus, and by their
liberal contributions at the late sociable and
otherwise, have repaid Mr. Adams the money
so expended by him. It is a satisfaction to
see our churches prosper and witness the liber
al spirit of their members and others in their
behalf. The hearty and disinterested support
is necessary to their prosperity.
Captured tae Banner. The sociable at the
house of Mr. John D.Jordan, on Tuesday
evening, resulted in a most unqualified suc
cess. Tho receipts, wo are informed, reached
the satisfactory sum of $140 50, and Mrs.
Jordan claims to have engineered the premium
sociable, certainly of Salem, and probably of
all Oregon. Her friends made a suitable de
monstration in her honor, an immense golden
belt being procured nud arranged with appro
priate display. One of Horn's patent sinch
buckles is to be attached in due time, and the
championship can bo contested for by the
whole State. Really, it looks large, that
$141 ; but one little fact that increased the ma
jority in this case may possibly have been that
the political excitement runs high, and it has
been currently reported of late that all the
candidates are regular attendants at such fes
tivities. The sociables must be numerously
attended, and tho gentlemen might bo much
worse employed.
. Over in Polk. A friend from across the
river, furnishes the following items from that
part of the "moral vineyard": The hotel
keeper at Dallas walked off about a week ago,
leaving sundry little bills unsettled. The
Chinese cook says ho "gonee uppeo gpuutce
seventee dollar by damec hell," Tho grocers
about town generally think the hotel business
"don't pay." Tho hotel is closed and dark,
and the weary traveler hath not where to lay
his head The north end of the llclmick
Bridge across the Luckiaiuute, broke down a
few days ago. Nobody hurt There is talk
at Dallas of erecting a new hotel building this
summer on the corner opposite the northeast
corner of the public square It is suM
that the Oregon Republican will appear at
Dallas, next Saturday, from the old Times
office It is reported that there are ninety
throe Democratic candidates for sheriff in Polk
county mostly "imports" and "dealers"
in " suffrage."
The Sale in Musical Union. We are inform
ed that this Society will be prepared to per
form the Cantata of " Esther, the Beautiful
Queen," in about four weeks. This piece is
oueof the best and most popular works of the
late W. B. Bradbury, and we thiuk the Union
have shown good taste as well as spirit in
making this selection for their first appearance
in oratoria. The plot is tho old Testament
story found in the Book of Esther, and is car
ried out by a number of fine solos and some
duets, trios nnd choruses. Tho principal
characters are Ahashucras, King of Persia;
Esther, his Queen ; Hainan, Overseer of the
Realm, (ho whose bight of hanging has be
come proverbial) ; Mordecai, the Jew, rela
tive to the Queen, and several other solo sing
ers, representing tho various characters in the
history. The Musical Union have taken mueh
pains in their rehearsals; and have been at no
little expense in procuring costumes, scenery,
etc., and from what we can learn we expect a
performance that will be well worthy of liberal
patronage from its intrinsic merit, besides the
incentive of public spirit and local pride which
all must feel in some degree.
Friday, 'larch 4.
New Article. We saw yesterday on the
wharf, awaiting shipment, a new articlo of
commerce. This was a number of bales of
hogs' hair from the packing establishment of
Thomas Cross, who seems to have learnt how
to shave a hog for wool and make it pay.
The hair from 5,000 hogs will make quite un
item .
New Firm. We learn that one of the mid
dle stores of Patten's new block is being fin
ished up for the use of a new dry goods firm,
Messrs. Tyrrell & Monroe, who propose to
open the apartment next door to Mr.
It ivars shoe store a general assortment of
gentlemen and ladies' furnishing goods. Mr.
Tyrrell, who has gone below to purchase stock,
is well known as one of the most popular and
obliging salesmen in our city, and Mr. 5lon-
roc, of tho marblu yard, will be tho other
partucr.
Resume. The pleasant sound of the fac
tory bells has been heard the last few days,
calling operatives to regular labor. Tho
ringing of tho bell is significant of good times
for North Salem, and we hope it will soon be
token a full set of hands running all the ma
chinery of the mill on full time. Of courso
it will take gome time to card and spin mate
rial enough for tho looms to operate upon, but
we understand tho intention to be to keep
everything going as. soon as possible The
success of our manufacturing interests is very
important to the general welfare of Salem.
At the Institute,. According to announce
ment, the commencement exercises of th
Medical class wpre held at the University
Chapel last evening-. Before the Innr ar
rived the spacious hall was quite full
enough for comfort, but spectators kept
pouring in as long as standing room could
be found. The Aurora Band were present
in lull force, and their music was such as
to do credit not only to themselves, but to
the country. After music by the Band, Rer.
C. C. Stratton tiflVivd a short prayer, then
music again, (hen a song by the choir, and
then Professor J. II. Mitchell was introduc
ed to the audience. Mr. Mitchell spoke for
an hour in his very happiest vein. T he ad
dress was excellent, and throughout the
whole, running among the words of good,
gotind.sensible advice, were gems of thought
and language rarely if ever excelled.
He was listened to with marked atten
tion and closed amid that hum and flatter of
quiet applause and satisfaction that is so
much better than roaring demonstration.
Dr. Ronnds, President of the University,
then presented the diplomas to the follow
ing graduates : James P. Atwood. Francis
A. Bailey, Calvin M. Boswell, Lemuel
Foley, Lewis Shipley. Daniel Locke. Charles
W. Tower. The charge was delivered by
Dr. Peyton, President of the Medical Fa
culty, and after the Benediction the crowd
dispersed to the sound of music by the
band, evidently well satisfied with the Com
mencement of the Class of 1KC9-70.
A Remarkable Cane. Mr. II. Cox, who
resides at present on Howell Praric, a few
miles from Salem, yesterday showed us a piece
of a peach limb which had been taken from
his leg the day before by Dr. J. C. Shelton, of
this place.
The stick, which had bcon in Mr. Cox's thigh
ever since the 11th of December, 1868, was
half round, measuring Z inches in length, and
5-16 in breadth; one end was sharp, having
been cat slanting with a knife or axe, the oth
er had broken off about two inches under the
skin. Thas the stick had penetrated in the vi
cinity of the pelvic bones to a depth of over
five inches.
At the time of the accident tk fall from a
horso near Battle creek, in the Sacramento val
ley Mr. Cox's companion drew out of the
wound a piece of wood round lor the first two
inches, and at that depth split in two, and half
round for the rest of its length. He was taken
to a Doctor at Millville, dressed the wound and
it rapidly healed, but soon broke out again. lie
then went to Dr. Shartliff, of Shasta, who said,
alter probing, that there was nothing in the
wound, and tried to heal it up without success,
lleeousulted Dr. Bradway, of Red Bluffs, with
the same result. The next was Dr. Cameron,
of the samo place, who said he could feci the
wood, and took his patient to Dr. Toiaud.
That renowned t-urgeiu laughed ut the idea,
prescribed a course of treatment which was no
more successful than the others. Jn May last
Mr. Cox returned to Oregon, and about five
weeks ago, his leg becoming worse, he consult
ed Dr. bhelton. who said there - a stick in
the wound and proposed to operate upon him.
But the sick man had been cut and probed so
much, that he wanted it out without any more
cutting, so he weuttoDr. Giltuer, of Portland.
lie too decided that the stick wax not there,
but the patient, who by the way, is a veteran
soldier, and has bad rebel bullets cut out of
bis body, said it was there, and returned to Dr.
Shelton, who successfully removed the cause of
his trouble from its resting place, and as the
grateful patient says he has already made a
well man of him.

Bismakck and the Porn. We liave a ca
ble dispatch to the effect that Count von Bis
marck, wi;h the concurrence of the Great
Powers, will prepare a protest against the
Papal Syliabus of 1864. In this Bismarck
represents the whole tenor of modern civil
ization, and the Great Powers England,
Fnin.ie, Austria, Russia and Prussia owe it
to the. dignity of their respective Govern
ments, to the welfare of their people and
to truth, to repudiate the entire syllabus.
In that paper the Pope erected his ecclesias
tical authority into a power lor the rebuke
of every nation and people who have made
progress in education, liberty, the freedom
of worship, of the press and of" thought.
No proud nation in the world can tolerate
its insolent assertions and assumptions. If
admitted as truth, it would work the com

AfsTHiA axd China The Anstrians have
concluded a new treaty with China also ;
but, like the British, not with Mr. Burliu
gatne, but through their own legation al
Berlin. It has a most favored national clause,
and consequently gets for Austria all that
oiher nations have got. butisiu some ways
peculiar. Ti e Chinese refuse to allow for
eign Consuls to trade, ho that the Austria na
wul have to pay their regular salaries io the
minor ports or dispense with thein altogeth
er. They also in ide an effort to secure spe
cial privileges fur Chinese converts to the
Catholic faith, exempting them from native
jurisdiction, but tin; Chinese resolutely re
fused to concede it. and the Austnans did
not insist on it, whereat there is much indig
uation at Rome.
In one of Doct. Ayer's luctures he states
that Chemistry confers more practical benefit

try would teach, if moie t!iroUfjhl.y and gen
erally Btudied, would speedily exercue u most
beneficent influence. Ho freely confesses that
he is indebted to this science for the virtues of
his remedies, and advises that the practical
application of chemistry to medicine, the arts,
manufactures, aud agriculture be enjoined upon

They tell a story of a certain wellkuown
professor of natural sciences. It was the cus
tom of the doctor to encourage his geology
class to collect specimens nud bring them into
the class for analysis and clasincution. So
one day a number of specimens were laid up
on the table, and among tnem one broken bit,
which, although streaked and stained to im
pose en the doctor, was really nothing but a
piece of common brick. In due time the pro
fessor came to the specimens. Taking up
one, ho says at a glance : 'This is a piece of
baryta from the Chesiro mines ;' holding up
another, 'This is a piece of feldspar from the
Portland quarries; the next is a piece of
quarts from lladdam ; and this," coming to
the brick, 'is a piece of impudence from soma
member of this class.'
Women may hold meetings and talk and
prate of wrongs until the crack of doom ; but
this matter will not be helped until they prove
that they honor and respect labor for labor's
sake, and learn to show no less respect, at any
rate, to the girl who sews for a living than to
the fine lady who rolls through the street in
her carriage. Labor must be honored in the
first place, and then women must be taught to
fill places of labor with honor. Girls must be
taught that it is as disgraceful and contempti
ble f(r them to loll and laze about tho house as
it would bo for their brothers to idlo and
lounge in the streets ; that a woman loafer is
as bad as a man loafer theu somo reforma
tion may be expected, and not till then.
Tho Democrats in the South Carolina legis
lature, at least, seem bound to act on the advice
of tho World to cultivate the colored brethren,
for ti was to democratic votes that J. J. Wright,
colored Statj Senator from Beaufort district,
partly owes his election, Tuesday, to the high
place of associate justice of the supreme court
of tho state. But we always thought the dem
ocrats would sing a different tunc about the
negroes when they had the privilege of voting
assured them and began to take their places
in the Senate and on the judicial benches of the
different states. Hereafter any democrat who
spells negro with two 'gV renders himself li
able to be turned out of tho party immediately
in disgrace.
It is strictly and philosophically in nature
and in reason that there is no such thing as
chance or accident, if by chance or accident
is meant the absence of ail law ; it is evident
that these words do not signily anything
really existing, anything that is truly an
agent or the cause of an event, but they sig
nify merely men's ignorance of the real and
immediate cause.
Itcv. S. F. W. Ware says : 'An old and
faithful horse who has toiled fur you and your
children, through heat and through cold,
through wet and through dry, by day and by
night in uncomplaining jromptness and fideli
ty, .'hoiil l never bo put a?i le as heartlessly, as
very good men and women get rid of f'hoso
they got tired 'of, or whose services are not
just what they want.'
Many of the Jews opposed tho election of
President Grant on account of his order du

A Hebrew lodge in Nashville has lately sent

Oregon Democracy is furious at tie
thought of a bill to preserve order in elec

Salkm, Friday, mLcIi 4, 1870.
Our merchants are complainiui that there is
bat little business of any kind doing just now,
but a very cheering sign of the times is
the fact that money is a great deal ea
sier. We may reasonably expect t:mes to im
prove, since, with the starting up of the vari
ous factories in the country aud the commence
ment of the building season, a considerable
amount of change must be kept in circulation.
The only change of note in the San Francis
co markets is id Nails, which go up from 25 to
30c per keg, and will no doubt take a corres
ponding rise here. Prodnce remains about the
same Oats a trifle lower, say 35 to 37c; bacon
sides not more than 1 1 to Uc, aud not sought
after; Eggs a cent higher, 10 to 20. Coal Oil
has become plentiful, and is now selling at
$3 50 to $3 75 by the can, 87 Jc. per (jab,
will be down to 75c in a short time.
