A bill was presented to tba Legislature then ta session, aulboriiins tha Mercantile Library Association to bold three en- lertainments, at which, of by means of which, various kind or properly eooid ba disposed of by raffle o- other garnet of chance, provided the proceed! were devoted to tha liquidation of tha in debtadnaaa or tba Library. tbb Dtranaa or tbb schimi. Tha bill dm ply asked the tanctioa of tha law to a practice which Sag been recognlaed bi b right and a role at ajoet of tha Church and Charity Falra la thia and other States for many yeari... It waa passed entirely upon ita merita. Tba principle bad Been rec of nited in tba Fair of tba Sanitary and ' Christian Commissions, which were held in tba -war of tbe rebellion, and ba received tbe sanction of tbe GoTerament so far. that gift entertain ments, raffle, and scheme of tbe like nature, beld for tha benefit of aiek or woaaded soldier, or for charitable or benevolent purposes, are exempt en tirely from taxation. Although there are stringent provisions of law against scheme or tbi nature, toe raemoert of both tranche of the Legislature generously voted to suspend their op ermton for the exclusive' use and bene fit of tba Library. Nor did the Gov ernor, who had been one of the earliest supporters and friends of the institu tion, hesitate to let aside hi own scra pie, under the extraordinary dream stances of the ease, in signing the bi'l. A coatract waa at length made with Maurice Dora and Charles R. Peters, gentlemen of high character and re spectability la the community, by which they obligated themselves to all inn rion tickets for a Grand Gift Concert, to ba beld September 1st, at $5 eaeh, and to distribete from the . funds ao received tbe sum of $500,000 ia gift, reserving twelve and a half par cent, of the gross amount for ex Dense. Tbla arrangement met tbe unanimous approval o( the Board, as wall a of those who had beu called Into thslr council. t TBB D1AWIHGS. Tbe aet conferred upon the Library the privilege of giving three entertain ment. Tb first having accomplished the purpose for which tbe act ws passed, ia placing tbe Library upon a secure and certain foundation, there was bo necessity to avail farther of its advantages. Tbe franchise, however, waa a valuable one. A responsible party in tbe city offered the Associa tion the um of $100,000 cash for the privilege of it use for the balance of the entertainments. Honor, however, to the Legislature and the people of - the 8tatel dictated that tbe law should ba exhausted at once. Two other en tertainments, therefore, were given a soon a oossibie. at tbe California Theatre, ta which the usual price of admission was charged, and at each of which a errand piano waa presented to ona of the audience. The law ha bow, therefore, bo existence. Ap neala were also made in behalf of oth er literary institutions, as well as in aid of manv charities, for a portioa of tee surplus, or for the use of one of the entertainment. When I eay that tbe law under which we were acting provided exprtlPfiy VlraVW .KWTai ahould ba devoted exclusively .to the liquidation of the indebtedness of tbe Library, and that the Trustee had no right to alleviate a dollar from that purpose, a sufficient answer is given to ueh request. . r- B BBSCLT Of the gift entertainment 1 a fol low: Realixed from the sale of tick et, $,100.000 ; paid ia gifts, 628 in b umber, $500,000 ; expenses ot tbe management, including advertising, rente, clerk hire, etc., and also expens es ol postponement sixty days, $94, 541 11 ; diieoaBM to purchasers ol ticket, raoaine- front five to ten per cent. $77,088 39 ; Dore ft Peter' corn- pensatioa, $30,000.

Out of tbi sum the Trustees have paid every debt of the association.- They have also in- eared the. buildinr and oonlent for three years, at a low premium, whieh baa been paid, and have now in tha treasury tbe aunt of $26,757. The association iov owns a large and ex caedine-lT valuable . property, which is entirely :free from embarrassment. Probably ao Mercantile Library Asso ciation in thia eoaatry can boast of ueh sv structure, possessing inch ae tnsneaodatrona and convenience in ev ery respect. The regular reveaue of ,. tbe aociety, from rent and from the daee of subscribing members, ia at present from $S,300 to $2,500 per month. Tbe expense of every de scription amount to about $1,100 per month leaving a baleaceof from $1, 300 to $1,400 a month, which can be devoted to tbe purchase of book.

He (ay tbe disease, which be call chicken-pox, is spreading over there. . He baa had 49 case in tbe vicinity of Sheridan, and tbi side of that place. Tbere bare been three death in hi practice, two of whom were Indiana, a child of Mr. Larkins being tbe other. Telegraphing has become a dull art here these stormy times in this vicinity, and the telegraph operator says be is beginning to be actually lonesome from lack of business. Communication is low ia every direction. With come difficulty Yreka wai reached yesterday, but sonth of there the wires are down, probably on Scott' Mountain, where tbe snows are deep, and tbe difficulty of keeping tbe wires up has always been greater there than any part of the line. Tbe Fireman' Sociable, last even ing, waa pleasant affair, and well at tended. Firemen are about a well calculated to enjoy tbemselvet a most people, and last evening experience proved it. They bad good things to eat and something; to drink, not inter dieted by the Good Templars. We dropped in upon them by invitation, and took a share in the genial enjoy' ment. Dsatbs. We learn that tbe little girl of John Chamber, who was bad ly scalded, has since died. Died, ot coosnmption, in South Sa lem, Mr. Farbuck, wife of John Far buck, aged about thirty-five year. The Sitter, Mary France, one of the teacher in tbe Catholic School, whose serious illness we spoke of, died yes terday morning, before day. She wa very beautiful and amiable in charac ter, and waa much beloved by tbe pu pils. Tbb Citt Chabtib. J. H. Brown, who i preparing material for tbe Sa lem Directory, ha taken ome psljs to learn about tbe amendment made to the City Charter byjfue late Legis lature, and has co-ie to the conclusion, s he says, bythe aid of the Secretary ofStajt,' that tbe bUl making these amendment, which passed both Houses, was never enrolled by either the presiding officers of the two Heuie or the Governor. In fact be ay the bill or act cannot be found, and a it i not in existence the act is not a law and the amendment are not in force, which is rather a pity. So the long term Councilmen are only elected for one year after all. Citt Elsctiok at Jbvfbrsob. Ac cording to tbe law made and provided at the last Legislature, the town of Jefferson beld a Municipal election on Monday, at which Jacob Corner wa x elected Mayor ; C.B.Roland, Record er : J. A.

Tbe .return of the said election ha been filed according to law in the office of the County Clerk, and when tbe new officer are qualified, Jefferson will be a sister city with Portland and Salem May it be as prosperous as its citizens could wish. Staoi Upset. At the stage came down from Albany Thursday it was upset and considerably damaged lu at tempting to cross the railroad about a mile - thi tide of that place. The grade i considerably above tbe road there, and no arood arrangement bad been made for coming with team, The horses hurt themselves consider ably by kicking, but the driver held them until some railroad bands near by came to the relief and righted the stage.

Smallpox at SUverton. Silvsrtom, Ogn., Dec. 7, 1870. Editor Statismak : Dear Sir, Per haps some of tbe readers of the Statcs kah would take an interest iu learning the extent of smallpox In this vicinity. Tbere have been five cases in this town, all in the family of my brother, J. W. Davenport; most of these cases were of tbe distinct form, and all are doing well. In D. Bollin's family, five miles north of this place, tbere huve been eleven cases, and five deaths have oc curred, several of these were of the confluent form. There have also been six cages in tbe family of my brother, T. W. Davenport, who lives five miles south of this place. Several of these cases were very se vere, and one provfcd fatal ; this was bis wife, whose death is mourned by an extensive circle of friends. In ber case there was a complication which, uoaouoteaiy, produced tbe sad result. These are ellftbe cases that have oc curred, and -( think tbe disease will spread no funber, as people are con vinced that' tbe disease is smallpox. Had this befeii understood at first, we should rtrt now have to mourn tbe loss of pAir many friends. J. C. Datespoet. Thi French Prisomrbs in Germaet. Tbe fields of France are trampled as if by tbe hoofs of Tartar hordes ; vilages are In flames, whole districts desolate; but if France grieves, Germany has little cause to exult : for ber lands, though inviolate, are untitled, and the nation is threatened with famine in the midst or its trophies. Laborers, we are told, are to tcarce in Prussia that, while in ordinary yeart that country has bands to spare to ber neighbors in Holland, numbors of Dutch have gone over to Rutsia, allured by the enor mous wages of two tbalers (six shil lings) daily, offered to common plow men and vine-dressers. Under these circumstances, the conqueror la utiliz- ng bis captive. The soldier is, in most cases, only a peasant in uniform, at Hast at familliar with the tpade at with tb murket, and no number of yeart in tbe ranks can cause him to foget bit original weapon. Tbe Frenchman is at this moment every where cultivaticg tbe land of tne ene my, who lays watte hit own. He doet it nothing loth, for he gets money by it, and a break in tbe sameness of bis captive existence. From every town and village in Hesse, in Saxony, in Bavaria, the warriors of tbe Empire go daily forth in gangs, with an armed keeper for each gang of twenty. Tbe Frenchman must do tbe German s bid ding at home a welt a abroad. All along tbe line of communication tbe native peasant is made to toil at tbe restoration of those bridges, viaducts and tunnels which an improvident system of defence hastily demolished. He it made to pile up tbe earthworks from wbich tbe Prussian cannon is to level tbe wallt of bit capital. Halt tbe work of the subjugation of France it done by French handa ; and by the ute and abase of tbe right or tbe strongest the German protect himself atrainst treacherous attacts in hit quarters, at tbe blvouac,or on the road. A Fcixt Mistake. The Chicago Tribune civet an amutiog account of the adventure! of an amiable old gen tleman from tbe rural districts, who bad been wavering between orthodoxy and heterodoxy for tome time. He came into tbe city to hear Robert Collyer preach. It was hit first vitit to Chicago. Stepping into a North Clark ttreet horte car, be rode out aa far as.Turner Hall, where many of the passengers alighted, and be perceived a crowd of people, and inquired of tbe conductor if that was Kobert uoiiyer s churcb. The conductor, amused at tbe simplicity of the question, prompt ly answered In the affirmative, and our curious inquirer passea into toe nan. He saw a vast crowd of men and wo men sitting at small tables drinking beer. This rather staggered bim for a loment but be reflected that they were possibly receiving the' communion. So be bat down at a table and looked around bim. Presently a young man with a white apron came up and asked if be had ordertd. No, be replied, he was not exactly a member of tbe so ciety, but he came to hear Mr. Collyer. Tbe youth with tbe white apron stared and paesed on. Very loon a number of gentlemen steppea on tne piatiorm, itb trombones ana names, ana cor nets, and began to play. These Unita rians have a queer way or worsnipping, thought tbe old gentleman, but I have been living- out of the world : that is what's tbe matter, I suppose. He thought it wonld come out all right when Collyer came oa. But after tne music tbere was communion," and after a long interval there was music ; and by-and-by a man dressed in tigbts came forward and commenced to swing round and round a pole. Tben anoth er man, dressed like tne nrst, went through a course ot exercise oa tbe cross-bar. Aad then tbere was more music, and no end of " communion. " Tba stranger set out tbe services very patiently, and tben went borne. He bad come to tbe conclusion that untta- rianlsm was all very well in theory, but these new-fangled notions of wor ship were not so edifying after all, as the good old Presbyterian psalms and prayers. Tbere are now ten establishments ia Missouri engaged ia making pig iron. with a capacity of makiog 300 tons of of iron per day. Fonr of tbese estab lishments are situated ia South: St. Lonis, three near tbe line of tbe South Pacific Railroad, aad the remainder on the line of tbe Iron Mountain Railroad.

A party of gamblers sat down to a small game of euchre on election day on the umbrageous bank of a Kan pas creek. Tbe game went on peacefully . for a while, until one of tbe gentleman was discovered makiog use of that ig norance of the game wbich proved so exasperating to William Nre and James Truthful ia a famous passage on Table Mountain. The ordeal by bat tle was decided on for a settlement of the point at issue. Two combattants fought on horseback, in which they dissected each other like zealous young snrgeons, and their horses, catching tbe chivalrous infection, bit and tore each other's necks and cheeks into shreds. When tbe fight and one of gamblers were finished, tbe survivor wss promptly shot by a spectator, who bad probably bet on a difierent result, and tbe fighting became general. Tbe whole party were soon stretched out on tbe Autumnal herbage, when unfor tunately a physician (Dr. Lawrence, who tells the story) passed that way and rendered professional assistance, and it is feared some of the gamblers may recover. Mrs. H- -, a young mother, was exhibiting with considerable pride to a number of admiring friends her first baby. Finally approaching little Dan, a boy of five years, the happy parent said .

Our Portland letter speaks of tbe probability that the ships now unload ing iron at that city will return with cargoes of Oregon produce, and says that they will proably take loads of lumber if wheat cannot be bad. . It is evident that an era of direct trade is about to commence, and that hereafter there will be many vessels at the Co lumbia and at Paget Sonnd ready to take retnrn freights. All poitible of forts should be made to cultivate and increase this trade and teenre for Ore gon all tbe benefit to result from di rect trade with the East and with Europe. It will not be long until a stream of vessels will be arriving at these port loaded with railroad iron, for there are other roads to be built in tbe Willamette Valley ; and tbe North ern Pacific Railway will soon be begun in earnest. Not only this, but we are to have many goods imported from Eastern and foreign ports, and we may expect that by another year enough vessels will come to our wharves to take a freight all the surplus pro ducts of our soil, and to carry, also, much lumber away, and so open the wsyfor a market for it in different part of the world. About Elections. Tbe Ueucury, which is easily made happy, trotted out its game foul yesterday in honor of tbe facttbat.an independent Republican was elected City Marshal of Salem last Monday. The tickling of this small straw agrees with the Mercury man, but the other end of tbe same straw tickled tbe Democrat at Albany, as that lately Democratic stronghold went principally Republicac, and tbe edit or of tbe Democratic organ says: " Owing to an unexpected change in the weatber w don't trot out our poultry this week in honor of tbe city election." Tbe wind did blow from an unusual quarter at Albany last Monday. City and County Items.

Drake' tbop, on Front ttreet, bat been successfully roofed in, and at tbe present time tbe machinery is being put in place, and in a few days our en ergetic friend will be ready to do any ordinary work in bis line. Died. At South Salem, on Thurs day, Dec. 8th, of consumption, Mrs. Mary Tarbuck, wife of John Tarbuck, aged 42. In the notice of yesterday tbere was an an error as to tbe age and the compositor set the name np wrong. BabbS Burned. Tbe State Journal, at fcugene, says: W e learn that two barns were burned in Lancaster pre cinct on Wednesday last by lightening Tbey each contained a large amount of bay and grain, and several borses, making it a heavy loss for tbe owners One of the barns waa tbe property of a Mr. Doberty. We did not learn wbo the other belonged to. Tbe Salem Firemen retnrn their thanks to the ladies for having fur Dished reireehmentt for their late So ciable, and who graced the occasion by tbeir presence. Tbe evening was made pleasant by volunteer music from ladies and gentlemen, and about ten o clock the bouse was called to vote for or against a social dance, and there being no noes the dance went on. Fob California. Yesterday Gov Woods went to Portland to take the steamer Oriflamme for California on his way East. Alto, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Crane, after a brief visit to tbe bride's friends here, returned to Port land to take tbe steamer for ban t ran cisco. We notice by the Portland Dai' lies that tbe sailing of tbe Oriflamme is delayed until to-day. No Most Free Delivery. As will be seen by tbe card of tbe Salem gro eery and provision dealers, published elsewhere, tbey have ttopped the de livery of goods free to their customers Tbe reason we believe is tbat tbe com petition of trade brings prices down to a point where tbey cannot afford to tend goods aroond the city free o charge. Amputation. We learn tbat an am. putation was performed by Dra. Car penter and Chase on Friday, on tbe leg of a lad about 12 years of age whose parents live three milet west of Wheatland on the Lafayette road Some weeks ago the boy was thrown from a borse and the leg was fractured It seems not to have done well, and the bov't life wat endangered, which made an operation necessary. Bcrsed to Death. We learn more particulars as to the burning of the daughter of John Chambers, wbo live south of town, of wbich we mad mention yesterday. It seems that the victim was a girl about seventeen year of age, who was standing with her back to the fire, when her clothes cangbt fire, and that in ber fright sb rushed out doors, which increase tb danger. Our informant says she not only was badly burned, but iobaled tb flames which hastened ber decease. Medical Faculty. We are informed that the Faculty of the Medical De partment of tbe Willamette University is composed as follows : Dr. Carpen ter, Prof. of. Surgery j Dr. Paytoa Physiology ; Dr. Boswell, Materi Medica; Dr. Fiske, Practice of Medi cine: Dr. Chase, Clinical, Medicine and Toxicology ; Prof. Rogers, Chetn istry ; Dr. Richardson, Obstetrics ; S. C. Simpson, Medical Jurisprudence; Dr. Jessup, Anatomy. It will be seen that a number of changes have t-vkeo place since last spring. Tbe school if represented as being in a satisfactory condition. It certainly has an ablt corps of instructors. Biddy's Explabatiox oftbbWab Two worthy domestics, occupying res idences vacated by the owners for summer, were talking across tbe rail- . ing a day or two since, whos tbe indi vidual wbo removes tbe ashes ventur ed to ask Biddy if she eonld tell bim the cause of tbe war abroad. Miss Bid dy, who baa plenty of time to read the papers, delivered herself as follows : " Well, it is pretty hard to tell tbe ex act difficulty, but from what I have read it appears to me tbat it is some what like this: Suppose Mrs. Spain wanted a giil, and my misses should ay that she would recommend Brid get Dolan. Then suppose tbat Mrs. France should say to my misses, yon musn't give Bridget Dolan a recom mend because the Dolan family will become too important, i Then my misses says she won't do it, but that don't satisfy Mrs. France, who wtats her to promise tbat sbe not only never intended to give Bridget a character, bot will positively consult Mrs. Franca before she assents to Mr. Spain having any other girl. My misses then get mad and say she'll not do any thing ot the kind, and so tbey began to tear each other's chignons." Pat, who had placed bis basket oa tba fence and drank -in the explanation without moving a muscle resumed bl tour after remarking: "And i that what' the matter, bad lock to 'em I I thought somebody bad been trod upon. y.

SYJCDQE CLABK. It is abont a dozen year tince busi ness not pleasure took me to New Jericho, tbe terminus of civilization and tbe Wtammelton Kailroaa. Ana " bard road to travel" that wa. It bad steeper grades, sharper carves, and more of tbem than, it is to be hoped, ever pat in peril tbe public life before or since. It was Saturday afternoon, and we were to reach Jericho at some indefi nite bouT that evening, " time not be ing of the essence of the contract." At a place called Blueruin we stop ped fifteen minutes to "liquor." There had been a cock-fight, and sev eral ataer fights, aod a big crowd there that day, and everybody was in high glee. Tbe New Jericho delegation returned by or train, and rougher looking ample of rustic rewdydom it would have been difficult to find, even In that favored region. Among tbem was a trapping six-footer, a very Hercnle ia proportions, with a cock-o'-tbe-walk sort of swagger abont bim, who took possession of two seats, deposit ing his body on one and dead-beading his legs on the other. One cheek was puffed out by an underlying quid, with a back-action jerk, be would tend near a gill of tobacco juice over hit honlder, which those within range bad the privilege of dodging or taking the consequences of, as thej liked. At for hit conversation, the curse of Ernulphus, or tbe table-talk of a Flanders mess-room in Uncle Toby't time, in point of maledictory power, was weak in comparison. At the next s'ation, a young lady came on board, beautiful at Venus and modest at Diana. How to rare a flower came to bloom in inch a wild wat a question to pnzzle over. But tbere wat no time to settle it. Tbe la dy wat standing-, and all the seats were occupied. I was on the point of offering mine, when a youthful look ing gentleman of prepossessing man ner and appearance, stepped up to the conehant Hercules : " Allow me," be said politely, " to turn over tbe back of tbe seat." " Hey ?" the other grunted. The request was repeated. " See you dod-durned first 1" was the gruff response. " But sir " the gentleman began to expos' alate. ' Looke here, you !" blustered the bully " don't yon offer for to go for to rile me! that's my advice, en' I gives it free gratis, 'cause I feel a in terust in you." " but this lady is entitled to a teat," tbe ttraDger persisted. " Give ber your own, then, dot drot you 1 au' stop your chin-music, or, by bokey, you trill rile me !" As a last resort the gentleman ap pealed to tbe conductor, wbo chanced to be passing. Bot tbe latter declined to interfere, to courtesy. Such things must be left Besides, it wasn't bis place to take part in tbe disputes of passengers. So saying, he went bis way, punching tickets, ana tailing no further heed. " Dod blast you, you hev riled me I" shouted the bully, springing to nis feet and striding up to tbe young man wbo didn't seem quite sensible of bis danger; "you've gone an' stuck your nose inter other people t business, an I m a goin to pull it 1 An attempt was made to suit tbe actioj to tbe word : but before the metaphoricallo offending member bad been so much as touched, something something it moved so swiftly I couldn't be positive it was tbe gentle man's fist took Hercules directly be tween tbe eyes, and sent him sprawling to tbe other end of tbe car. He didn't get np immediately, and j when he did, be seemed a little bewil dered as to whether he bad been koockf ed down, or tbe train had run off tbe track. He bad enough, at all events, wherever it came from, as was mani fest from the subdued air with wbich he took his departure for the smokiog car, wbither bis companions soon fol lowed, no doubt secretly chuckling at tbe result, as usually do the chums of a whipped bully. Pap Kilderkin, tba proprietor ef tbe New JericLo Rest, was the most com municative of hosts. Before bedtime that nigbt, I was thoroughly and accu rately " up" ia all tbe gossip of tbe place, and had its scandalous statistics at my fingers' ends. Among other things, I learned tbat " stated preaching" bad hitherto been among the wants of the community, but tbat a " supply" bad been at length obtained, and the new minister was expected to enter on his duties on tbe morrow. " And a refreshin' season he'll hev of it," taid Pap. " Wbv so?" I asked. "Oh! Bill Grinkey an' t'other chap's goin' to break bim in termoror; an' ef you want to see fun, I'd edwise you to go thar." And I did go not " to see fun," as Pap Kilderkin suggeated, but, I trust, from better motives. Pap went, too by what prompted, I prefor not judg ing. When we reached the church, tbe minister bad not yet made bis appear ance, though a goodly number ot hear ers bad already assembled. A few minutes later, yesterday't delegation to tbe Blueruin cock-fight, (headed by tbe vanquished bully, with both his eyes in full ncourning, sauntered in, and walked noiselessly down the aisle. "That's Bill Grinkey," whispered Pap, " an' them's t'other chaps. " " Make waf for the mourners ?" sang out Bill, crowding, with bis compan ions, into a front ttreet, where a hois terons conversation was struck np mingled with au incessant crackling of peanuts. " t kinn tell you thar progrannt," Pap continued ; " a pack o' sbootin- crackers '11 be teched off durin' the fust bymne, and a pair o' game chick ens, as a couple o tbem chaps got in thar pockets, 'II be set fightin' as soon as tbe tex s gin out, arter wbich gen'ral Ned 11 be in order." A sudden silence fell upon tbe con gregation. Not a murmur was beard, and tbe peanuts ceased to crackle Loqking up, I saw tbe new minister in tbe pulpit; and guess my surprise at recognizing him as the young man that bad struck out so deftly from his shoul der the day befor I With a clear, manly voice, be gave out a bymn, which was song tbroogb without interruption. A prayer was offered up amid profound and decorous silence. Another hymn followed, and then a sermon, earnest, plain, practi cal and without a word of can't iu it. From tbe beginning to the end of the exercises, not an unseemly sound was beard, save a single incipient cro promptly chocked off, from one of the invisible chickens. " I say, Bill," I overheard from one or "t'other of tbe chaps," as they made tbeir way out, " tbat parson't a trump ; be preaches a downright good lick, an' fiirhts fair, without bitin' or Bouiio'." It wat easy to tee tbe new minitter't ttatui was settled. I have since beard that Bill Grinkey has become an ex emptary member of the cbuicb, and tbe parson the bappy husband of tbe young lady, aa whose champion he first achieved popularity.

Faith and works were well illustra ted by a venturesome little six-year-old bor. who ran into the forest after s team aod rode borne upon the load of wood. Wben asked by bis mother if he wat not irightened wben tbe team came down a very steep bill, he taid "yet, a little; but I atked tbe lord to help me and bung on like a beaver.

Christmas times are just here, and of course, during tbeir continu ance, trade will be rather brisk. San ta Clans baa already announced their coming by a numerous display of pres ents, toys and fancy wares of all con ceivable shapes and varieties in almost every show window and case. The barks Gungner and Lyra are still discharging railroad iron. Tbe Gungner at. tbe new wharf, and the Lyra at tbe old ferry landing. After they complete discharging tbey will load for England with grain, if a car go can be procured, if not tbey will probably finish out with a load of lum ber.

Tbit it what bat been needej), direct tbipment from this place to foreign countries.

The excursion upon tbe first tram from Portland to Albany was a grand affair and terminated bappily, and to tbe entire satisfaction of tbose wbo were favored with an invitation. This should be looked npon by all as an epoch in the history of the progress of our Slate, and hailed as a most success ful commencement of tbat great syste-a wbich is to unite us to, and with other States, and will place ut on an equality with them and the outside world, which otherwise would bn un attainable and entirely beyond our most sanguinary hopes.

"Fetch on Tonr Rats!" Adm Bepler keeps a tarern in Al leghany. One rather gloomy evening recently, wben Adam was in rather a a-loomy humor, a stranger presented himself about bed time and asked to stay all night. "Certainly," taid Adam, eyeing tbe rather seedy-looking stranger. "If you take breakfast, it will cost you one dollar." "But I have no money," said tbe man. "I am dead broke, but will you trust me " "Ah! "said Mr. Bepler " I don't like that kind of customers, I could fill mine bonse every nigbt mid dat kind, bnt dat won't help me rnn dil bouse." "Well," said tbe stranger, after a pause. " have you got any rats here ?" "les, replied the man, "you d better believe we have. Why, tbe place is lousy tr.it dem." " Well," rejoined the man, " I'll tell you what I'll do. If you let me have lodging and breakfast, I'll kill tbe rats to-morrow." " Done," said Bepler, wbo bad long been desperately annoyed oy the num ber of old Norways tbat Infested bis premises. So tbe stranger, a gaunt, sallow, melancholy-looking man, was shown to bed, and no doubt bad a good sleep. After breakfast next morning, Mr. Bepler took occasion in a very gentle way to remind his guest of tbe contract of the previous nigbt. 'What 1 Kill your rats I Certainly, " said the melancholy stranger. "Where are they tbe thickest?" 1 Dey are putty dick in the barn yard," answered Adam. " Well let s go out therms, said tne stranger. " But stop, have you got a piece of hoop-iron 7" A piece about fifteen long was brought, to the stranger, who exam ined it carefully from one end to tbe other. Expressing himself entirely satisfied, at length, with its length ana strength, he proceeded to tbe barn, ac companied by Mr. Bepler and quite a party of idlers wbo were anxious to see in what manoer the great rat-killer was going to work. Arriving there the stranger looked around a little, tben placing his back firmly against tbe barn-door aod raised bis weapon. "Now." said he to Adam, "lam ready. Fetch on your rats 1" How this scene terminated we are not precisely informed. It is said tbat, although no rats answered the appeal of the stranger, Mr. Bepler began to smell one pretty strongly at thia junc ture, and became very angry. One thing is certain, and tbat is tbat tbe new boarder was not at Adam s table for dinner, nor for any subsequent meal. He bad suddenly resolved to depart, probably to pursue his avoca tion of rat-killing in other quarters. Pioneer Boot and Shoe Manufac tory. Yesterday, Messrs. Protitnan, Corson and Uillihan formally opened their Boot and Sboe Manufactory at the corner of Taylor and Front streets, the ceremonies of the occasion being a christening, cham pagne lunch, toasts, responses, and a gen eral felicitation of the proprietors by nu merous friends who dropped in ta partici pate in the festivities or to take a look through the establishment. This is ao enterprise of much greater magnitude thnn most persons would be led to believe by the bare announcement above, and as it certainly is one of great import ance to tbe State, it dc5crves more than a brief, passing notice. At present, the ma- t ehinery which it is intended to employ bnt not all arrived and, consequently, the force of laborers is not near so large as it ill be within the month. Tbere are now twenty-two workmen employed, but within the next two weeks and immediately upon the receipt of the balance of the machinery, the force will be increased to fifty men, women and boys, which will be the aver age, as now eontemplnted for the first year. A very large proportion of all the work, when the factory shall finally be in com plete running order, will be performed with machinery, Tbe company have, or will soon have, all the modern appliances used in the most sncoesfnl manufactories at tbe East, so that fifty workmen will be able to turn ont an amount of work in any given time wbich would require the labor of sev eral hundred, working by hand. The work of making a pair of boots or shoes is per formed by a considerable number of per sons, each having his or her especial part to do. Briefly, the hands which a pair of boots, for iuslnnre, goes through, may be described as follows: I. The euttcr who has a given aixe given him, cuu from a pat tern, the vamps, backs, etc. 2. The vamps or fronts are tben passed to the crimper who passes them throngh a machine, thence to crimping boards to bring them to their best shape. 3. Back to the cutter wbo trims and shapes them. 4. The first stitcher then takes the parts and puts in the fine or fanry stitching, a Singer or Howe machine being used. 5, The paster then takes them and pastes the parts together and adds tbe stays when any are required, o. Another stitch er sews on the straps and counters, etc. 7. Tbe siding up then follows the work be ing done with a New England Wax Xhread machine as rapidly almost as ordinary eJoth sewing. S. The next process ia rub bing down the seams aad turning the legs the latter or machinery, y, ine up per next go to the bottomers who work in teams or gangs of four. The first lasts and tacks on the sole : in pegged work, the sec ond drives tbe nails, and tacks on the heel ; tha third is tbe trimmer who pares tbe soles and heels to shape ; and fourth, tbe finish er who blacks and polishes the soles. 10 The boots being made, passes to the freer who stretches and puts them in shape for nackinsr. In sewed work the process varies only in the work dona by the teams the soles being Jacked on by one man ana tne sewing being done by hand by another. Shoes are made by nearly similar processes. At tha close, instead of being treed, they are " d Missed or " gummed. An expert, with tbe New England Wax Thread Stitcher, will seam up from 1 8 to 18 doien pairs per day. The average earnings in a factory like this, are about $20 per week to each of the fifty, making a total of $1,009 per week. Each foor men will aver age fourteen pairs of boots daily, or one hundred and seventy-five pairs for the whole force the value of wbich is about $827. In a shop of fifty operatives, about ten men, women and children, will work at women's and ehildren's shoes, making an average of fiva dozen pairs per day, rained at $2 per doien. The cost of stock is abont equal to the cost of labor with one third added, wlere, is in this factory, the material is all Rrench brands, and mostly of tbe very finest and best quality. The investment, then, here, is not lees than about $135,000 per year in material and la bor, to say nothing of incidental outlays. The home payment of the factory fr a year will reach about $60,000. The firm will undertake at present only the manu facture of the superior grades of work,, tbe stock used being from the quality of French kip up to the very finest and most eostly fancy French material, and the make to correspond. And, now having as briefly as we well could do, noticed tbe general processes in this factory, and the purposes of its eon doctors, wa take pleasure in commending this enterprising firm to the trade and tbe public, partly because tbey are genial and worthy young men ; but chiefly because the enterprise in which tbey have encaged is ene of that elans of wbich our youDg State stands greatly in need a home man ufactory for borne consumption. This manufactory will not only furnish employ ment at remunerative prices for fifty work men, but its bearings upon the prosperity of the city and State may be traoed very much further than that one fact. The en terprise being new, the number of workmen, with the families belonging to their care, is practically that many added to our popula tion. They aid all classes of dealers and producers, by becoming new consumers. Their employment enables another man, or a number of men in the State to carry on the business of making leather, which also widens the field in which labor seeks its re' ward. But one of the chief effects is in tbe employment at home of the capital iavolred in all the business connections and relations of the factory und its people. Tbe amount of money annaaJly sect out of tbe State for its boots and shoes alone is enormous. The figures would almost appal if tbey were fully set out. Take oat of circulation the amount which this bouse alone will expend in one year at Aome, and tbe effect npon fi nancial matters all round, wonld be very appreciable, affecting all branches of busi ness alike. As heretofore that amount of money has been annually sent away to purchase what this firm will now make. Now add tbe amount to our circulation, and the effect is aa appreciable as in the . first ruppoeition, while, instead of being hurtful, it is wholly advantageous to the entire business community. We take it that whosoever understands the truest in terests of the country, will welcome the ad vent of this and all similar enterprises, and will.do and say whatever be cau to secure tbeir entire success. For, most certainly, the full development ef the State demands a greater diversity of industries as much as U needs a multiplication of population ; and he great outflow of money for neces sary articles of consumption should he checked and made to benefit our home arti sans. The Pioneer Boot and Shoe Mann factory, we trust, is but tbe forerunner of a doien or a hundred similar establishments in our State, to come quickly. Daily Ore gtmian, Itec. 10. J ... .
