Bos well and Payton argued that it was smallpox and Drs. Carpenter nd Fi.'ke were on tbe opposite side. Tbe discussion was interesting uut came to bo results that we can bear of. Whatever the disease is, and we are willing to consider it smallpox, for sraety, the number of cases in town is decreasing and they are quite few indeed. Tns Canal akd Loess Bilg. As the Canal and Locks bill bag made its Appearance in print, we furnish the world a copy of the same that oar readers may judge for themselves if it is a good thing to swear by. As to its constitutionality they can judge by reading the Constitution and then the bill, until tbey become familiar with both.

Pure and winning as childhood Is, there are instances where tbe love of a neighbor hood is especially drawo, as it was in the case of little Hattie, aad we shall miss ber from the homes opon the hill where ber presence was so welcome. The bud that could not nnfold on earth will blossom in a lovelier clime than ours. ' A EsTHi'sriSTic Admirsb. The New Orleans Picayune says: A conn trvman at the theater the other night, as the escort of some ladies, retired at an iotermission and returned with pound or two of peanuts wrapped in a paper, and two hufte bananas sticking from bis pocket. Just then, however, and before be bad time to take bis seat, one of tbe actresses who bad es pecially won his admiration, came to the footlights and warbled a beautiful melody. Tbe full, rich voice, exquisite in intonation, and breathing strains almost divine, completed the conquest of tbe countryman's heart and ucable to restrain bis delight, be heaved on the stitge his peanuts, bananas and pocket handkerchief as a tribute to tbe fair enchantress. There was a momentary astonishment visible npon tbe faces on tbe stage, a single inter val, of hesitation, which was removed by,' the eeuutryman'a voice, full and cfear, "Take 'em girl, by jingo, you're Sselcome."

Approved October 21, 1S70. Attest, S. F. CHADWICK, Secretary of State. A Good Example. The Brooklyn Independent of November 12 ih relates this experience of an Alameda county farmer : One of the largest wheat sowers if Alameda cooniy has tbis year jumped the middle-mec and commission mer chants, shipping bis wheat crop di rectly to Liverpool. lie chartered tbe skip Archer, which hauled in at the end of tbe Centrul Pacific Railroad wharf on the Oakland side, Twelvb hundred tons of wheat were brought alongside the ship's tackles, and in A very few hours was stowed and tbe ship, witbont inenrring any wharfage charges, was hauled into tbe stream ready for ber voyage. Whatever prtfit there is in this transaction inures di rectly to tbe farmer. He avoids com missions, tolls and storage, and will get tbe Liverpool price halving only to pay moderate freight charges. . We are not aware that anyfwheat grower ontsidn of California has taken up a ship on his own accourA. Shipments, we believe, have bee made in tbi-t way from Vallejo. Tide facilities of fered, to wheat growers for shipping direct to a foreign market are prooabty better here than ioamy other wheat growing State In tbe Ubion. One hundred and fifty dollars it what it costs to "af kr' up" first class blonde. iy: ' ' - - T IURSDAY. Tbe Litigant Orgsn. When our neighbor of the Mercury informed us the other day that be had been appointed litigant organ " for two counties," we supposed of course he meant Marion and Polk, for we had oo idea bis Excellency, the Governor, would attempt to force a subsidy from any other of the west side counties for tbe benefit of the Salem organ. It seems that the bill provides that where a newspaper is published in a county that paper shall be the official organ ; so the Republican has been ap pointed, if we hear correctly, as the official paper for Polk county. The Mercury has tbe good and faithful coun ty of Yamhill attached to its domain, and as tbe Hiecutive is evidently hunt ing about for vacant counties to bring up to the support of the Mercury we would suggest that in tbe same direc tion lie Tillamook, Columbia, Clatsop and Washington, and if be is really desirous of extending the Salem influ ence, there should be no hesitation in making these appointments. Our neighbor, Upton, bas evidently been, for a number of years past, pros pecting tbe various counties of this valley with a view to Jibe success of tbis litigant bill, which seems to have been a lavorite measure with him, as be is said to claim to be its author, He bas made several attempts at jour oalism here in Salem, bas founded newspapers iu the counties of Yamhill, Polk and ltentoo also, and may be con sidered to have a pre einption right over Democratic journalism there abouts. We now commence to see tbe object of his peripatetic journalism and appreciate the energy of his wan derings. Mr. Upton contends that the price allowed by law is only reasonable, but we can say as to that, that we have been satisfied to collect, on an average, half tbe price of tbe fees fixed by that law, and those who afe so unfortunate as to have legal advertising to do will soon fully realize that a difference exists, and the Mercury will not abate a jot nr tittle of his bond any more than Shylock would. As to the rates charged elsewhere, we cannot, speak reliably, but we are positive in the as sertion that we have been satisfied to receive half tbe rates, on an average, that are allowed by the litigant bill. There is a happy point made by Gov. Grover in making haste to appoint some organ for tbe county of Yamhill, as be knows from tbe public prints, and also from Mr. Handley, as that gentleman informed us, that be intend ed to soon commence publishing a newspaper at McMinnville, in that county. Tbe law allows the Governor six months in which to make his ap pointments, and if his Eicellency bad waited six weeks longer he wonld prob ably have seen this paper published in Yamhill county, but by making haste to comply with the letter of the law he confers on the Mercury an appoint ment which Upton says will last for four years, and cannot be Bet aside by tbe fact that a newspaper is started there afterwards. So we may consid er that the Governor has come a clever dodge on the people of Yamhill. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving day finds our State prepared to celebrate with cheerful festivity tbe fact that we as a people are prosperous and happy. It is well that we should realize and express in some appropriate manner our sense of obligation to the Giver of all Good, the Divine Author of all our mercies. Our lot is cast in pleasant places, where we have civil and religious liber ty and can certainly bequeath it to our children. Many of us have seen tbe wilderness subdued and made to blo' som and bear fruit, where twenty years ago the stepd of white men bad scarce ly trod. To us there is cause for proud satisfaction that '.he land of our adoption has seen such pleasant pros perity and has such sunshine in store. There are many new faces among us, those who are seeking homes now where we sought tbem long ago. Ore gon is no longer tbe old time story but is tbe seat of progress and improvement, for we have beard the neigh of tbe iron horse and must recognize it as the introduction of a new era in which old things shall not be forgotten for the early iimes have stored up many precious memories bnt in which the new must rule and preponderate, while tbe result must be that we shall soon become great and powerful. We have cause for thankfulness and can well rejoice and give thanks. Camped by the Wayside Nov. 2 1870. MARION 8TAT10X. Eo. Statesman : Did yoa ever un dertake a railway journey, expecting to reach a certain point at a certain time, having your arrangements all made for the continuing of the same, after yoa should reach tbe end of the track? And did you ever find your self and half a dozen others, unavoid ably and unexpectedly camped by the way-side waiting like- Macawber for "something to turn ap?" Imagine this to be onr aitnation to-day and yoa will have some idea of our present con dition. But after all, we like the bright sunshine and pure atmosphere so mucb better than the "prevailing aisease intesteel region ot your on- fortunate city that we are disposed to be bappy, though it must be confessed that a roast from a tempting beef that displays its juicy proportions on an idle baggage car near by would add no little to tbe comforts of tbe inner man and woman, too, for that matter, A road side acquaintance has kiodiy loaned me to-day's Statesman, from the contents of which I infer that your doctors of medicine are still dis puting over tbe Btuallpox that's what ire call it that is overshadowing your fair city with gloom. Now it certainly would do tbe physicians no barm if tbey would at once stop the con'rover- sy until tbe danger ts over. Tbatyou have a loathsome, contagions and, in a number of instances, fatal disease in your midst, cannot be Counted by any body. And if your physicians will not stop to name it, but at once take more precautionary measures as tbe exigencies of the case demand, they will confer a lasting favor upon tba traveling community: and when tbe disease shall have abated and all pros pects of its further progress have d if appeared, we shall patiently await their erudite decisions as to its panic nlar classification. This iuggetion SALEM, OREGON, s made in all due deference to the medical fraternity, with whom I have no controversy, and I humbly hope tbey will at onee agree to disagree, and by all means prevent tbe spread ot the contagion. I But here comes tbe train, at last, nod tbe premonitory whistle admon ishes me to bring this hasty scribble to an abrupt conclusion. A Traveler. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. 1 he Kuaalan Question. London, Nov. 20. There is much remarks in diplomatic circles on tbe imprudence of Gladstone in writing to the Timet on the situation, over the signature of "Scrutator." A com munication in reply appears from Mr. Muller. It is understood that Bis marck is extremely vindictive towards Gladstone, in consequence of his cont inents ou the Prussian policy, wbieii be has made or inspired in public prints. I Advices from Constantinople show that the Porte is pie.'aring to make a most energetic resistance to Hussian pretensions. ! Brussels, Nov. 20.

Vienna, Nov 21. Tbe excitement here concerning tbe Eastern question continues unabated. In ollicial circles there is a belief that tbe moral support ot the United States, at least, wilt be thrown ia favor of Russia. .Loudon, Nov. 22. Heavy rains di lay telegraphing. A special Berlin telegram to tbe Timet says Russia "eks to prove that the story of ber buying an American fleet for tbe Black Sea squadron is untrue. Her lan guage is pacific, and Russia is expect ed to susinin peaceful so'ulion ou the Black Sea question. Thefeeliun in regard to the Eist-rn question is much more healthy. Con fidence is in a good pari restored in money circles. Breadstutfs are de clining. Lrrd Chancellor Hatch has notified the Cabinet that he w.li resign should the Government declare war. Bright, Lowe, Card well and Cbilders will do the same. There is a rumor that Gurtschakoff has informed Granville of his readiness to withdraw "lis note, and submit Russia's claim to a con gress.

Wheat Reaction in Liverpool. tele graphed this morning had a depressing effect. There was more disposition to sell- choice lots firm held at $1 15 5-3 100 lbs. The brokers, in order to protect themselves trom loss by tbe toiled gold coin in circulation, have gotten up : a brass plate, witb a circular hole in the center, which will not admit the passage of a perfect twenty-dollar piece, but pass through one which has been cut down to the extent of five cents. Some of the toiled twenties are found to have lost two dollars in value. Bismarck's Baby. At tbe Prussian headquarters in Meaux the King occu pies tbe front, Count Bismarck the backrooms of tbe Archbishop's pal ace. Tbe apartments of tbe Count were on tbe ground floor, and looked out upon tbe extensive gardens to tbe rear of tbe palace. Tbe 15th of Sep tember had been a very busy day to many of tbe Prussians, and not least of all to the Count. He was riding all day, and in tbe evening be bad a long conference with tbe King. Tired with these difficult labors, be hastened, when he reached his room, to prepare lor bed. He had scarcely, however, begun to undress himself when he beard a rustling among ibe bedclothes, aad on searching, found there, to bis astonishment, an infant sot more than four weeks old. On looking closer, be fjund by the side of this enfant trouve the following note : " JUy buhand fell at Sedan ; I have nothing to eat. De spair forces me to part wilh ray only child. It bas been bsptized Vincent." Nor does this curious story end here. To make it dramatically coirplete and symmetrical, the anfurtuoaie mother committed suicide. Tbe matter is said to have reached the ears ot the King, and orders were given that the desolate iataot should be sent to Berlin. Was e7er a life soKariouily begun?

A new bull bat been erected one which is staunchly built while tbe cabin has been provided with slate rooms run ning its entire length, tbe upper berths being single and the loner oues double. She will differ from tbe rent of the river boats in this, that the aft part of the cabin will be open to enable per sons to have a better view of passing scenery. Tbe engines are now being cleaned, ready to be replaced when the flooriug is completed. When finished the boat will run between this city aud Astoria. Tbe epire of the Congregational Church was raised on its pedestal yes terday, at noon. At 8 o'clock iu the morning the work of elevating it com menced, and by noon it bad beeu placed in position without accident, or eveu stoppage of any kiod. Tbe spire is one bundrvd and eigbtweigbl feet above the street, and eigbty-eigbt feet above tbe roof of tbe church. The church, when finished, will he one of the neatest and most substantially censtructed edifices ia the city. All the tugs and little steamers on the river are as busy as tbey can be at present, as they are engaged ia towing scows with wood or bay, from the va rious landings along the Willamette and Columbia. War kin en are engaged in clearing away tbe rnbbish at the railroad ferry boat landing A shed is being built there about forty feet long. From the Orcgnnian: Capt.

The brig Kentucky bas been towed to Springville where she will complete her cargo of 450 tuns wilh wheat aud dour. The soldiers at Ft. Stevens had just been paid oft and gtveu a day's leave of absence, which some of them im proved to come up to tne town and get drunk. Two soldiers of Company "C," 2d U. S.

About 10 o'clock they went out on tiie struct, and in tueir drunKeo rambhugs et an old man about CO years, named daiT'mctou, acarpenter well known in Astoria, u.ie ot tbem a Spaniard mimed Ruiguez, without tbe least rovocation knocked tbe old man down, acd thb oth;r whose name is Nolan, jumped upon him, seized bin by the throat, and taking a larg- knife rom his pocket, deliberately urcw its edge across the old man's anroat, cut ting a horrible gash almost frotn ear to ear, severing an artery and laying bare the windpipe The old man H irring- j ton was barelv alive when the steamer I left yesterday morning, but it was be- i Jieved that he could not possibly live more than a few tuours.

A splendid oven is just compu ted by Bowker k Smith and things are working toward completion. Thanksgiviug turkeys, what few ap peared in market yesterday, disap peared very quickly indeed, and many more could have been sold. In fact there was a scarcity cf thanksgiviug provender, which may have been due to tbe hesitation country people have in visiting onr town while tb" rumors are abroad that we have smallpox pre vailing. The fear of it in ibis city is so slight that it is not a subject of fre quent mention. Salem Dirsctory. Mr. C. D. Sny der, of the firm of Snyder & Cook, publishers of the above Directory, in forms us that the five hundred copies of tbe work which he intends issuing, having been already engaged, he will issue one hundred more to supply the demand. Tbe history cf Salem and tbe valuable statistical information, which it will contain, is tbe cause, no doubt., of its popularity. The binding will be done in a substantial form. Orders should be addressed to Snyder & Cook. Railroad Accident. On Tuesday night as tbe regular evening train was going on above, having discharged ber freight aud passengers at this place, when about 400 yards above the depot, in Cross' pasture, the locomotive run over a cow or steer and threw several others off the track, killing three ani mals and throwing tbe hind wheels of the tender off the track. Damages to the train were repaired by replacing tbe broken wheels of the tender with a pair from a platform car. The train, we are told, was intending to stop that r.igbt at Marion. The Doctors and the Disease. A lady correspondent writes us a commu nication from the line of railroad, where she seems to be camped and waiting for the disappearance of the " prevailing disease" in this city. Hr remarks about the matter are well enough, bnt we contend tbat, however our physicians may disagree as to naming the disease, tbey are vry suc cessful in treating it, tor there seems to be little increase of cases, and most of those who have been ill are now re covering. Since tbe passage of tbe City Ordinance, only one case has been reported and tbat was several days ago. Real Estate Transfer. Mr. A. C. Daniels has sold bis land in North Sa lem, near the Fair Grounds, realizing an average of about one hundred dol lars per acre. He bat, since tbat, pur chased, two parcels of land, which ad- join", situated on tbe river about one bait mile below the ferry landing and running back to tbe Spring Valley road. One piece, on tbe bill, contain ing 54 acres, known as the selr place, cost him at the rate ot $24 per acre. He purchased 72 acres of John L. Starkey, tying between that and the river for $3,200, or $42 50 per acre. He bas exchanged land un this side for nearly tbri e limes as mnf h land nearer town, across tbe river, ttCd ba made a trifle by tbe 1 (transfer, f5: V Selling Orv Mr. Jesse D. L'arr bas gone to Portland to wind up the transfer of tbe overland stagb property to Barlow A Co., of Nevada, present contractors for carrying the daily mail. We learn from him that Mr. James Cluggage, of Jacksonville is to be Su perintendent of tba line in Oregon. Tbat gentleman is well known in ibis State, and will doubtless fill tbe posi tion very well. . Another Case. Some days ago a man named Tom Anderson, was found suffering with a headache and a slight fever, and tbe health committee took him in charge, hired a nurse and sent him to the pest house, a quiet place a mile or so from Commercial street. The two walked thltber and staid all night, and the next day Anderson foot ed it back to make complaint that bis nurse bad run away, and it was too lonesome to stay there alone, symp- toms or no symptoms. He was fnrrj- i.-bed witb another nurse and footed it back again, but tbat was several days ago and lie complains considerably of the dull neighborhood and threatens to leave. Tbe pest bouse, which, has uver before been occupied, is in a pxsture field, and the neighbors are uot very sociable because there are not any. Whatever ails this man, his complaint ia very obstinate, as it re fuses to "break out," so the poor man has to break out biuiself occasionally. The board ot health, and atteadant physicians aro beginning to fear tbat the man is not going to have tbe small pox, or any thing else, and if be doesn't it will be treating tbe city au thorities and the surroundiug country with unmerited routempt. P. S. He has come in again, and was found taking a drink in a saloon, and as this is considered a daugerous symptom be was taken back in a buggy. The English Leaders. WILLIAM EWART IJLAOSTONE. And now the Premier is on bis legs at last. 1 had beard of Gladstone so olteu thai I was curious to hear bis voice and look upon bis face. Imagine a tall man, ix feet in bis slockiugs, aiih a massive head, a good strung body, sparse side whisker' just whiten ing witb jears, a pair il dark eyes, deep as an abyss, with tbe thought and struggles of a mighty spirit wcli-ingup-biui lips and cavernous eve b.uws, a massive and persistent uuder jtw, the lines of the face strongly marked, and indicating by their rigid uess tbe conflict that has been going on inwardly for years, and dress that liute up in deep black upper gar ment and mixed truu.-er.-, and you hive someh.pg like the Premier of Great Britain as I saw him iu his seal on tbe end of the Treasury benches iu Parliament. One leg was thrown over another in a negligent aud thoughtful attitude, the In J being bowed for ward on 'tie breast, while every few minutes he raises hi eye3 witb a won- l.-rtnl mcaln-v ir I i r t ri fi ir in thfm tn ,he Uce ;,, lbe ,euibrr who has tue n .... :i i, , ,i,. i ,n.as'uren,f nl of tus ,pMkr. Tbe re r,.IlU a firco .,ll3,KSm which can kindle into gr a. dcedj, tr express wiih n glance great thoughts. Tbis great mini si:rted in lite as a High Churchman aud Tory, believing that jill b'Shops thould kuow Greek and a'-knowleJge tbe apo.-lolic suc cession, and now lie is an advanced Liberal, bt opposes woman's suffrage es a daugei i measure. In ruligiun Gladstone t.,cks to his Oxford teach ings, aLil tbis is best proved by his Episcopal appointments, neatly all of whom ar High Churchmen. How grandly tbe sentences roll from tbe lips of lbe sciiolarly Premier, as be slau.ii up to reply to s'me attack on the administration. Every sen tence is rounded, full, coMiise and (lowing, and every phrase seems chosen with elegance, lie is a mar velously brilliant speaker, but it is belief to hear him tlian to read his speeches, winch, tbougb perfect lit erary compositions, ar jet, in type, oril'iant aud dry abstraction., while the rontiaiy m.iy be smd of Brighi's speeches, whose productions eunnd better in a report than tbey do wku they are delivered. And now be is dune, and. sits down, slamming his bat ou his head, and re clining hack, with his eres glued on his shirt bosom ; and from the uppo sitiou benches at tbe oiner sida, ot ih house, a tali, massive figure, which is radiant witb jeweliy, and surmounted by a poll of black curly hair, rises to answer Gladstone. It is BENJAMIN DISRAELI . His face is corrugated, tiis nose like r.n eagle's' beak curved like those oa Roman coins, or just such a nose as Titus encountered by tbe thousand, under piercing, almond-shaped black eves, in the court of tbebolyof holies, when the chosen peopl tell in heaps behind their shields, only glad lo die for Jerusalem. Yes, here is one of that same won derful, plucsy race, which bas sur vived hundreds ot years ot war, pesti lence, famine, persecution and con tumely, now finds its ben representa tive iu Benjamin Disraeli, the author of "Tancred," ' Coningsby," "Hen rietta Temple," ana '-Lothair," that book of books. Tbis is tbe same Jew whom Daniel O'Conuell thundered at thirty years ago, and whom be de nounced as the lineal descendant of the impenitent tbief who died on tbe cross. Tbirty-lhree years ago this man entered Parliament and made hia maiden speech, or attempted to make it, as a member from Maidstone. The crowded house laughed at him that night men who were nsed to Can ning and Henry Brougham ; to that consummate orator, Daniel O'Conneil, and to tbe brilliant fireworks of Rich ard Lalor Sbiel laughed at the young member with tbe Jewish beak and pro file, and be eat down discomfited, but not beaten, crying oat to the bouse, which was indulging in cock-crowing and gsese-cackling at his expense, "Yoa will not bear me now, but yon shall bear me yet." YIe is an older man dow; and suc cessful ia everything he attempted. Hear bow be dashes into Gladstone's eloquent sentences with bis biting, withering words of sarcasm ; bow he overthrows the airy edifice which the Liberals were just now contemplating; listen to tbe fiery words of tbis master of wit and trenchant, catting invect ive invective that spares no feeling or cherished opinion, but bares the breast of tbe minister to the surgeon's hand, plunges still deeper the scalpel in the roots of tbe wound. Now he bas done, and be sits down, and numbers crowd around bim and congratulate him, but be receives their incense with a wearied, indifferent air, that seems to say, ,lI have been Pre mier myself, aad I tbink it to be a small place for a man of abililly." And so the nigbt passes on ia the House, member after member getting npon bis honorable legs, and lbe small hours come on apace, and tbe small talk continues, and the Speaker comes ia aad goes out, yet mil the House ee mains ia committee a very wearisome nigbt it is, and hot and close u the galleries, aud many sleep tbe sleep of exhaustion in- the legislative arena wbile o!f in the green fields aad grassy, meads, by lakes and rivers, the dew falls heavily, and tbe English moon shines with a soft light all over the broad land. There is a man in Botftln who bas registered a vow never to make a "hu mane society" ot himself ag-iio. Ha took off bis coat aud leaped into tbe canal to save a lady frcm drowning, when a pickpocket stole ten dollais from tba coat, and lbe rescued one got mad because be pulled her ehi-jnon off ldgetung ber out. 1870 $2 50 SAT URDAYs Oregon. November bair given us a variety of climate that might suit oar epic are longing for constant change. There have been sunny days when tbe grass sprung np again ; other mornings in succession when the frosted air teemed more wintry than we bad expected, and still other mornings when tbe dense fog" shut nature out; of view. There have also oeen bursts of storm, prom ising us winter close at hand, in which the waters from the mountains filled our river almost to tbe brim. Com paricg onr seasons with those known elsewhere, we realize tbat there is scarce another land besides our own where tbe climate is at the same time so healthful and delightful, where the seasons are so kind and tbe soil so fruitful and so certain of its yield. Our summer suns are tamer, and our wintry hours less terrible than any other spot in tbe same latitude. We do not desire to be counted among those who see the future in a light too golden to be ever realized. We are of those, however, who saw these valleys twenty years ago when tuey were scantily occupied and little cultivated; when tbe population cf Oregon was only about one where it now bas two, and who bas seen the slow growth of almost a generation make it v hat it is. There are States East of the Rocky Mountains whose annual increase amounts to as much as the total population of Oregon, and comparing our growth witb theirs we seem to have accomplished but little, and to have accomplished it elowly, but our gain has been certain, and though hindered by our remote situa tion and isolated condition, we need not doubt tbat it will continue until the bill aides and the valleys that con slituta Oregon form a powerful State wilh a milion inhabitants aud witb wealth and commerce to make it known as one of the greatest in tbe Union. We have seen an hundred thousand come here by bind and sea, without tbe encouragement of the locomotive's wliisllo to shorten the tedious way. Tbe weary emigrant train no longer toils across tbe continent, and though years must elap.-e before lbe railroad : connection will be complete, still we! are realizing a greater growth than tr- ! er before and oiir prospects for the fu ture are advanced by an increased ratio of progress. Itj is true that there are vacant lands Est of the Rocky Moun tains tbat are being rapidly settled and that can be reached at less expense than is required to come to Oregon, but there is one point in which we ex cel all these landj, which in itself is a reason by our State mu3t be attract- ive to those who have means to reach j it. We refer to the peculiarities of ! climate and soil; to which we have al luded and whirb cannot be competed with by any State Eabi of the Rocky Mountains. j j We read continually of terrible storms that devastate whole districts ; of tornadoes tbat spread rain over wide sections ; of wild floods that de stroy many lives and millions of prop erty. Wereadjof droughts by which crops are ruined, 'and of the lavages of destroying insects spoil ing the promised harvests. These things do wot effect Oregon. Tbere never has been a tornado here, never a d.-ought to ruiu crops, never a flood or Sturm to spread ruin as we read of rifewhere, and our harvests are as reliable as those of any land the sua shines upon. Our climate knows few extremes, iand this taken in con sideration with all our natural advan tages, and our easy access to the ocean, gives us reasonj to expect a prosperity tbat may come slowly in comparison with other States, but may be surely counted on. It will seeut rapid to those of us who were here a score of years ago and have watched tbe pro gress of the interviewing years. From California. Our correspondent at Oakland, Cal., writes as follows: It has been amusing to me since my arrival in California, to notice tbe fear which every one bas of earthquakes. If tbe wind should happen to blow and shake tbe windows of tbe house a little, its inmates would start np in afright and run for tbe door, crying 'earthquake!" Any little noise that sounds strange to the ears is surely an earthquake. Every one bas been more frightened, perhaps, than naturally, on account of a prophet in San Jose pre dicting an earthquake in the month of October. Since the shakings that have occurred in the East, the people here breathe freer and begin to think that California is not subject to earth quakes more than any other place. Base ball is all tbe rage bere, and several match games have lately been played. The Wide Awake Club of tbis city - bas played several games with tbe clubs in San Francis co, Woodland, Stockton and other places, and have always come oat win ners. Tbe fires that have lately taken place bere and in San Francisco have caused much grumbliog against tbe Gre comp&oies. Tbe company bere bas been disbanded on account of its members getting drunk at the fire. In Sao Francisco tbey call loudly for a new Chief. M. . Mandamcs. Tbo reports of the State officers, op to Sept. 1st, were published by tbe late incumbent of tbe office of State Printer, as bas been usual fjr many years past, as tbey could not otherwise be prepared in time for the nse of tbe Legislature. The work was done by E. M. Wait , to whom the warrants were transferred ; bat, oa their presentation by bim to the State Treasurer, that officer decided tbat there was no appropriation for their payment. A writ of mandamus was asked for and granted by Judge Boise, aud the Treasurer was ordered lo pay tbe warrants or appear and an swer at tbe next term ol Court. Tbis rase will probably be argued next week, but we doubt mucb if there will be any term of court held for trial of other cases, as tbe smallpox question will be a bar to tbe regular transaction of business. General Lee's Arlington estate was not confiscated by the 'Government, as tt did not belong to tbe General but to bis wife. It was told, however, for taxes tbat accumulated daring the war, and purchased by the Government. As tbe estate bas been converted into a national cemetery, its possession could hardly be desirable to the Lee family. , per Annum ia Advance, City and County Itcnii. " . Died. We hear of another son hav ing died in the family of W. B. Earnest, living across tbe river. Tbe prevail ing disease has thus taken two mem bers of tbat family. South Salem has a meat market. Mr. II. S. Jory bas opened one at the little market boose tbis side of Owen's store which must be quite an advantage to tbe people of tbat suburb. Fell frost a Swinb. Tbe other day a little boy, son of Mr. Skaife, of South Salem, received severe injuries by fall ing from the swing at theSonth Salem District School. He remained insensi ble for a while. The Canal and Locks. Capt. J. F. Miller informs us tbat the canal and locks at Willamette Falls are to be constructed next year. The corpora tion has engaged tbe services of Isaac Smith as the Chief Engineer for tbe construction of tbe works, who bas been and is now occupied on tbe sur veys of the N. P. II. R. Co. Railroad Material. Three vessels loaded witb iron left Wales at about the same time, and all tbe bolts be longing to the three cargoes were seat by the first one. One of tbe other ves sels arrived first so there is plenty of iron but tbe bolts are lacking to fasten the rails. A temporary supply bas been ordered from San Francisco. Kslioioi s Service. Rev. Mr. Hud eon, Unitarian minister, lately from the East, will preach at tbe Christian Church, in tbis city, on Sunday, the 27th inet., morning and evening. Rev. Mr. Hudson is one of tbe most popular ministers of bis denominatian, and we have no doubt will give lo bis bearers a treat rarely enjoyed. All are iavited. Thanksoivixo Services. We at tended tbe evening services at the Con gregational church on Thanksgiving day, where we beard an interesting and appropiUte sermon by Rev. P. S. Knight, and very b'antifijl singing by lbe choir, which is now tbe finest in Stlem, the attendance was very good coosideriug the inclemency of the weather. Fkkiuiitfuom JxrrEiisoN. -Oa Thurs day our friend Jake Conser celebrated Thanksgiving day by accompanying two car loads of flour from hia mill at Jefferson to Portland. This we be lieve to be tbe first freight ever shipped ty rail from tb Sautiaci, and we have no doubt that Conser felt unusually thankful to find "the , ;ood time" come to hand. New Stage Akbanoemknt. We met yesterday with Mr. Frank Claggage and J. J. Cotnstock, the latter long connected with tbe overland stage, while the former is to be General Su perintendent of the whole Iioeof which he is to be one of of the proprietors, owning one-third interest. The trans fer will take place on lbe first of De cember. We do not learn tbat the stages are to stop running to Salem, or tbat tbe mails will immediately connect with ibe railroad trains, though that will probably happen after awhile. From Scio. We learn from T. A. Turner, driver of tbe Scio stage, tbat several members of the family of Mr. Ostrander have taken tbe smallpox and are down with it. Dr. Martin, the. physician attending them, bas also bean taken ill with it. Tbe only other phy sician in Scio is Dr. Dodd, who was lately appointed health physician at tbe mouth of tbe river. We inferred from Mr. Turner's report that under tbe circumstances Dr. Dodd wonld not accept the position. There were no other cases of smallpox there, except those named above. Newspaper Change. Mr. W. E. Howell, who was the popular ami effi cient Sergeact-at-Arms of the House, at tbe late session of tbe Legislature, has bought one-balf interest in the Mercury and become one of the firm of J. H. Upton. Mr. Howell is a very clever gentleman witb whom we have always hid very pleasant relations personally, and we welcome. his ap pearance in tbe business ol journalism cordially with a hope that the Mercury will partake of bis genial trails. Upton seems to be making a happy com mencement and we see no reason why tbe Mercury should not live and prosper. How it Happened. Our weekly edi tion was put into the postoffice all right on Tuesday nigbt so as to be ready for the mails early the next morning, but unfortunately our mail ing clerk was a little too careful and put the huge sack full of matter on top of a lot of other sacks, by which means it was overlooked and not sent. By this means our subscribers at Aumsville, Scio, Lebanon and Browns ville went without their mail a week, and those living across the river missed it several days. W e will divide tbe re sponsibility for this with our friends in tbe postoffice and try to avoid such an occurrence another time. StKoiCAL Operation. Mrs. Fiske, Ife of Dr. E. R. Fiske, has been for a long while suffering from an Injury or sprain tbat resnlted in necrosis of the anlle joint. This became so serious and dangerous that amputation was considered necessary, and the foot was taken off on Thursday by Drs. Carpen ter and Chase. The amputation was effected at the ankle joint, and we are glad to learn tbat Mrs. Kitke was doing ell tuts morning. Dr. Chase used formerly to be stationed at Fort Hop kins, and was visiting Senator Nesmitbt when Dr. CA'rpeuier beard of his be ing there and secured bis aid for the operation. Aboct Mails ado Trains. We learn at the railroad office that regular trains will commence running from Jefferson to Portland on Sunday, car- - rying tbe United States mail. O. M. Stroud will accompany the trains as route agent, in tbe employ of tbe Post al Department to take care of the' IT. 8. mails.' It is a position for which our worthy and popular townsman is well btted and which we are glad to see bim occupy, as it will be a life po sition in Stroud's case ; but in tbat particular it had no advantage over bis old "sit," at Lord Alayor of Scio. By tbe by, what will Scio do for a Lvrd Mayor, with bim continually on a train? Ruhaway. A team oelonging to Wm. Lewis, while bitched near the Court House, got out ot patience stand ing in the rain so long and started borne on 2:40 time. Tbey ran down State street to Commercial where they turned their courss toward tbe long bridge, but running too near tbe tide walk tbey collided with a fonr horse team belonging to John Chambers, who is hauling wood to this city, and . made what might be called a legiti mate smaph np of it if not telescoping. Mr. Lewis' wagon being a very strong one sustained but slight damage; a bent axle and muddy appearance will cover them. The other was being rap. idly reconstrncted when onr reporter left.
