Dallei Correspondence. Dalles Cut, Oregon, Aug. 29. Eo. Statesman : Dalles City is josi.J cow having a rest from the extreme ' - beat that has been parching thing i here rereotly, and is teing treated u one of those " gentle zephyrs" pecn- , liar to this locality, which is burling the sand into every nook and corner bout tbe city, and filling tbe eyes ot evrrr one that may venture out on th Streets. These storms of sand are any thing but agreeable to a Webfoot, anc already I am sighing for a return ti the valley of " occasional mists.'

Stavsmah t This is a subject upon which thus far through life I have remained titent, but as tbe opinion generally prevails that all female writ ers must belong to the Woman's Rights party, 1 embrace Ihil opportu nity through the medium of your val uable paper, not proposing to force myself into tbe arena of disoussion, bat simply, and as britfiy as possible to define my own position, aod speak a Urn words on tbe two great sublets which lie near my heart, God and ray couotry. I am not, nor never was, in favor of the suffrage movement. In endorsing Mich a platform as laid down by the Women's Rights Party, I should prove recreant to my God, traitor to my couotry and f!ee to my own sox. fully coincide with you in saying that "the movement in favor of Female SiiHrnge is one tbat is assuming; shape and prominence, and that ehonld he carefully and fairly met," aad X would thAt roy pea could shed frm its dia mond point, glowing thoughts and burniug words whith would penetrate the hearts of every woman 'in tbe land tilt their voices Were raised, with one accord against this movement. I have bitherto regarded tbis subject as one of do importance ted entirely unwof tby of notice, but 'the time has come when every honest-minded and i d tell i gent citizen, male and iemalj should cry out against tbis pernicious doo trine, and especially should mothers who have sons and daughters just en tering upon the stage of action, whose characters are forming for tbis life and for eternity, be awake to this subject In endorsing tbe Woman's Rights plat form 1 roust be a disbeliever in tb "one only living and true God ;" I must believe tbe Bible is a fable, that tbe Savior of the world was an impoe tor, ridicule tbe sacred rites of tb church, ignore marriage and encour age prostitution, aod yet we are told that when women have tbe ballot, so ciety aball be reformed and elevated tbe polls purified and many-wonderful things shall be done. Can clean water flow from an impure fountain, or pure legislation eminate from such a plat form ? Madam Woodhull, an avowed Free Lovist, tbe great and "shining light " of the SutTrigests has laid down tbe platform, and around her all the lesser lights revolve. Sb sounds the clarion notr and they fol low in ber train, minions to do ber bidding; sbe vends forth her weekly journal to keep her platform before their eyei and strengthen tbem in tbe causa, by telling them a blasphemous story of illicit ioterconrse between Jesus of Xezereth and a woman pos sessed of seven devils ; she ignores tbe sacred rite of marriage, anduells ber adherents tbat hen marriage is done away with tbe milebium will come, that tben every woman will have the right to choose the fathers of their children and bold relations with those to whom tbeir beans were in clined. Would I not be false to my God by endorsing such a platform T Again, I would be trrtitor to my country, were I ta encourage the suffrage-movement. We must ttSe a broad view of tbis subject aud consider the results ; we must look to tbe good of tbe many, not of the few. You say "If our mothers, wives and sisters desire tbe ballot we can safely let tbem have it." We beg to differ on this point. In the f present state of things, under the ex isting franchise laws yon cannot safely' give tbem tbe ballot. If tbe line conld be drawn Oetween tbe high minded noble virtuous woman and (be outcast of society and make high moral and Intellectual attainments the basis of tbe ballot, then the right of suffiage might safely be accorded to woman. Her influence would thea be on tbe aide of tbe right, and much good might be effected, but such is not tbe case. The right of franchise once ex tended to woman tbe majority of voters would be in favor of tbe onprincipled and illiteral, not only of our own na tive born citizens, but tbe unlearned of any foreign population would come largely Into tbe field, tvelling that class of voters with which we are al ready surfeited and who are creating dissentions and discords throughout our lani. Thousands of our educated and refined American ladies would never go to the polls, hence that por tion of tbe better class among women who would avail themselves of the right to tbe ballot would be greatly outnumbered by tbe unprincipled and uneducated, wbo could only grasp a single idea and car not for the re salts. It the right of the ballot Is given to women our Government would pass rapidly into the bands of miserable despots, and tbe star ot our Republic will let forever in degreda tion and shame. With the first vote Dolled bv woman's hand the death warrant of oar Republican Govern ment is signed. Tbe love of couotry Is too strong in my bosom to endorse tbe franchise movement. Again, I should prove false to my own sex, were I to endorse tho platform ; Wo believe tbat tbe time will surely come and tbe day is not far distant when women will go to the polls, and as coming events eaat their abadows before we have an inkling of what we may exoect when that time arrives. Ac cording to -Woodhull, marriage shall be done away with, prostitution legal iied and a state of free loveism in iti wildest form pervade every community; tben will come the mllleninm,' a. soil leninm of harlots. The right of franchise to woman would result in no gain to tho better classes, bat in ontold misery, and wo man herself wonld be tbe greatest loser We could not elevate those wbo are sunk in tbe filth of degradation and vice, to tbe standard of tbe high mind. ed Dre and virtuous woman, but ahe must descend to their level. Net only would the noble women otAtnerica be dragged from tbeir high estate oo' to the vortex ot infamy and shame and obliged to share in the disgrace of a movement which they themselves have bad no band in originating, bat would be despoiled of tbe influence which tbey now exert, disrespected among men, and dishonored and disregarded by their children. Will we not prove false to our own sex if we aid or abet anv such disgraceful measure? We often bear men express tbem selves in regard to Ft male Suffrage tbat tbey are perlectly willing to give tbem tbe ballot if tbey desire it, but I trust socb men have given the matter Tory little, or no consideration, for we . art tore tbat after mature reflection their better judgment wonld dictate otherwise, and they could not fail to sm tbat it wonld be fraught with on told misery to individuals, and disas trous to the country at large. I would like to touch upon ions of tbe reforms which tbe Suffragists claim would take place in society, immedi be accorded to tbem, and many other points which have an important bear ing upon this subject, but time and space wil j not permit. Mas. J. B. Fostv Prosperity. Tpo present year li evidently tbe ost prosperous " tne, to the people generally, ever realised in tbis State All the signs of tbe timrs are favora ble to financial proerteritv wot to be avoided by the fact tbat In totne par ticulars tbe rrops are not always good. Tbe great staple, wheat-, is of superior quality aut t,r enrvins will exceed tbat o; anv facta pt rear. The farmrr finds a bUcpr and more reliable market tor breadftiiffs than for many I years. JTatttportaCioo Is more reason able i'i price-, more 'reliable, and the crTp is entering 'tuttrkel ruticb io ads vance of former years. We have an advantage, also, in cheaper Ocean freights, and our products have become known and appreciated abroad so tbat orders are received hy telegraph for cargoes to be shipped to Liverpool. Tbe wheat of 1871 is a remarkably good article, and our reputation abroad will not lessen by having it reach England in a large quantity. We can not'really expect to have as good pri ces for the coming year, because it Is not probable that such a combination of circumstances will unite to favor tbe interests of Oregon producers. As the quality of our wheat is causing an increased . demand for it abroad, it is necessary; to secure a continuance of that foreign appreciation, that our farmers do tbeir very best to raise on ly good wheat and to secure tbe best possible quality by careful cultivation. The greatly augmented receipts from wool rales, over former years, also tends to increase the practical prosper ity which Oregon enjoys. Wool has become a very important product, and Oregon wool is also acquiring a repu tation tbat is profitable. Wheat rais ing and sheep husbandry may be con sidered tbe great staples of Oregon production, aod they are two of tbe most reliable articles of commerce throughout tbe world. Having attain ed excellence in each of these products tbe farmers of Oregon should labor to make continued improvement and so always command a premium price. The Latest Scheme. The latest project in the interest of the South has been proposed in tbe columns of the Richmond Whig, one of tbe leading southern ioujnals. which after great labor seems to have brought forth an uncommon sized bantling. It baa been often claimed that tbe Democratic party will in time adopt as its platform tbat either tbe whole na tional debt shall be repudiated or that the confederate debt shall be incorpo rated with it and tbe value of tbe slaves wbo bave been set free also paid by tbe government. Tbe Richmond Whig has an advancd Wea wirh regard to ibis last ittm. It proposes tbat three tboudaini millions of money i-hull be paid (be South to reimburse it for the loa ia slave prop erty and tbe money bhall be equally divided between tbe master ami tbe slave. This proposition would suit the late slave owner, because be would be glad to get anything for what be now considers a dead loss, and it is a shrewd bid for tbe support of tbe negroes, because tbey would each re ceive three or four hundred dollars as tbeir share of the operation in ease it proves successful. Tbis idea of buy ing np the negroes is about tbe shrewdest suggestion tbat tbe South has yet originated, but it remains to be seen if tbey will bite at such a tempi ng bait. , As to bow the success of tbe scheme IS to be eetmred. tbe Whig says tbat tbey bave one-third . Congress and f tbat vote can be consolidated aod made to combine for tbat purpose, Congress can in time be brought to terms. "It is parliamentary for eighty mem bers to say to another eighty, "We ill vote for your bill if you vote for ours or we will vote aginst your bill if you vote against ours." This brought to bear on every bill will have Its effect in time. The blacks of the Sooth, when they come to appreciate the vast and direct pecuniary benefit to themselves, will be as enthusiastic as tbe whites. It will consolidate the whole Southern people, and spew out the last carpet bagger from among us. And tben the stupendous claim three thousand millions of dollars I what a fund for a lobby I Could any Con gressional virtue known to modern times resist it 7" There yon have tbe scheme as set forth in the Richmond Whiff, and you can judge for yourselves bow long tbe Democratic party will bold out agaist such logic, if the South can be formed into a nnlt to favor it. Tbe people can trust themselves but they cannot trust tbe mere politicians wbo want power at any cost If tbe people pay it. All we have to do is to under stand the game in advance and then checkmate it at tbe polls. Thb KcMoaiD Stsamsbif aud Rail boao CoHSOMDATioa. It is stated in tbe New York papers that the interests of tbe Pacihc Railroad and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were consoli dated in that city oo tbe 12th instant. Tbis can hardly be true to tbe extent stated. That some arrangement has been effected between tbe companies is to the rates of freight aod passage, it verv probable : but we hazard noth. ing In saying that no consolidation" has taken plaee. . it is said tnat no ao vance in freights and passage will fol low, equalising tbe charge by land aod sea. Tbe isthmus steamers, for the first six months of four years, have done business as follows : Value of goods brought: 1871, $4,721,000; 1870, 96,103,000 : 160, 933,457,000 Br war of Cape Horn, sailing veiie'i brooght in the first half of 1871, 60, 209 tons, against 88,000 in 1870, and 150,000 in 1869 5.

With a total population of 40,000,000, tbis rives 371 bushels to each man, woman aod child in tbe country.

Tbe San Francisco Alia of August 24th has tbii mention of a gold nugget : We yesterday inspected a splendid nofftet. which it now lying ia the Mint, which was obtained from by draulie claim at Forest Hill, Sierra county. It weighs, quarts and all 911 ounces, and contains approximate lr nearly 700 ouaeaa of gold. It is probably worth from $11,000 to $14,' 000- Tbe claim being in litigation, it has been placed for safe-k aping ia tbe hands of C. N. Felton. United States Assistant Treasurer, and General La Tfte City and County. 0Vem Shftiftfay's Duily. S"n SxtttA person by the name of KRy Wdldron Succeeded ia making bua wess livery here 'in Salem, yesterday, for real estate agents, dry goods, clothing, IOvry abd Brag stores withont using any wrtn. fiisprogrammewas abont as follows: SJ first '-went to the office of Hammer A Terry, where he purchased forty thousand dollars worth of real estate, and about thir teen, -thousand dollars worth of Messrs. Patterson; A Bewley, real estate agents; tben to tbe store ol C. P. Terrell and told bint tbat be was going to grt married and wanted a large amount qf dry goods, cloth ' ing, etc. After purchasing a portion of bis bill and having tham all wrappeed np, ha concluded to tu to Messrs. Royal i Smith's shoe store, where he purchased a lot of shoes ; next to Thatcher A Son's drag store, where he closed a bargain for twenty-five gallons of tbe best whisky ; next to Mur phy A Croasman's for a eouple of suits of clothes ; then to Friedman A Qosliner's for some more clothes ; next to Joseph Holmes' store, where be invested in about $500 worth of groceries ; bis next eall was upon the firm of Cox A Earhart, where he finished up by ordering over $200 worth of groceries, telling each one tbat he would call in again in a short time and make a few more pur chases, but strange to say, after investing about sixty-five thonsand dollars in this manner, he left between two hours. Items from the Cocxtkt. We learn that while the fall wheat is fully up to the average of yield and sometimes above it, the spring wheat, though of good quality, ia of light yield. Oats in Marion county, aud probably elsewhere, are light, much lighter than usual, and as the hay crop has not been over abundant it is poor policy for the farmers to bo burning tboir straw as we are informed many of them are already doing. Cut straw with mill feed does quite well to winter stock, and straw well rotted s valuable, while it does no good to burn it up. Tbe garden crops are deficient, owing to the drought. Potatoes are not half a crop they say, and cabbages are in a condi tion where even min will hardly "put a bead on them." Perhaps the potatoes will yet amount to something if tbe rains com mence soon enough. Two year? ago pota toes made a good crop with tbe help of Sep tember rains, when they wcro considered a failure before that. Stkpbkx Masset. It will be seen tbat this gentleman has arranged to give an en tertainment here Tuesday evening next, at Reed's Opera House. This is tbe only room in town capable of holding an audi ence such as will desire t attend. Tho en tertainment will consist principally of read ings, serious, pathetic and comic from the most distinguished authors, lie will prob ably give a few songs also. It it a great pleasure to see and hear a good recitation from such authors as Diekens and Hood. The class of people, who decline attendance at common shows should feel disposed to show appreciation of truly intellectual en tertainments when they come to us, which, unfortunately, is but seldom. A Steady Rum. Mr. Sheldon, who drives the popular milk wagon, has com pleted his rounds for the third year, Sept. 1st, and is rather proud of the fact that dur ing all tbat time, in rain or sbine,' through heat and cold, he has not failed once in making his legular visits to his eastomers. At limes he has had to reach his wagon on crutches and be helped into it, but be has made ten hundred and ninety-five consec utive trips, during which time he has be come tolerably well acquainted with this locality. Good Hl-ktiso. Messrs. C. W. Parrish, of Portland, aod Atchinson Waller bave just returned from hunt in the Nestncca country, south of Tillamook, in the eoast range. They killed six deer and a young bear." They bad venison in abundance, but they did'nt eat tbe bear. We see also by careful observation that the bear did'nt eat them.

The crowd of young Salem jtes tbat went to the coast some time since tf turned, bringing an unusual amount of real estate witn mem: They exposed tbeir judgment of what's what, by purchss ing a barrel of floifr for themselves, num bering seven, and half a bushel of oats for their team, all of whicE was intended for a two weeks supply. Capital Engine Company were out on drill last evening, and a larger number of members were present than generally at tend such calls. A CARD. Salkm, Sept. 1, 1871. Editor Statesman : Mr. and Mrs. Vrooro desire, through your columns, to express their warmest thanks to the friends whp bave so patiently and generously assisted tbem in earing for tbeir son during his se vere sufferings. They can only fervently pray that none of these noble friends will ever be visited by so sad a calamity ; but should it fall, tbat equally kind ones may surround tbem to assist their hands to min ister and tbeir hearts to bear. Just before be passed away, Bray ton joined me in sing ing "Alas! aud did my Savior Bleed," with the chorus, " Jesus died for me." He Said, " How good that sounds," tben bade all, personally, good bye, asking several times for his little sister before she came in, then peaoefully died, only in a prophetic delirium saying, " Wt shall get to Salem toon." Peace, rest and joy, we trust, 'are bis forever. - He bore his sufferings with remarkable patience, and will be remem bered long as a youth of rare cheerfulness. kindness and promise, not lost, but gone before.

Cox, the stage driver between this place and Silver ton, met with an accident, which if not fatal, will result in a long confinement. He had drove his team into the pond near tbe agricultural works, to drink, having let down tbeir checks before driving into the water, and after their having drank be walked out upon the tongue to replace tbe reins, when one of his horses, a very bad one, commenced jumping and kieking, which threw him off under their feet where be was kicked and bruised in a frightful manner. Tbe front wheel of tbe wagon pass ed over him, and having become entangled in tbe lines he was dragged a considerable distance under the wagon, before tbe horses stopped. We were informed by Dr. Rich ardson that do bones were broken but the flesh wounds are very severe. He was doing as well as could be expected, but the extent of his injuries cannot be ascertained at present. What's is a Name. James Pipes of Pipesville came to Salem the otber day and wrote to tbe Bulletin as follows, about tbe way tbe name of our beautiful hotel af fected bim. He took it remarkably hard it seems : Salem, August 31, 1371. Editor Bulletin: Seated in one of the curs of tho Oregon aod California Railway I left East Portland to pay my respects to the Governor, Secretary of State, and tbe people generally in tbis flourishing and lively town .1 beg their pardon city. But when I tell you that from the hour I left Portland to the time of my arrival, I have been trying to pronounce, to say nothing about spelling, the name of the palatial hotel from which I am writing you this. What a name ! t'pon coming borne from a brief vi.Mt to Reel's Opera House to-night, I asked one man if he would direct me to the Clie-wit-iker" Hotel ; to another, tbe 'She-wit-ediuus ;" another, the "Chiine kater ;" another the "Chemiidmus ;" an other, "Sbe-mot-a-cur," and at last I found it and proud ought the citizens to be uf the really elegant hostelry for I "threw open tbe gates of memory and looked back fifteen yearn, when I stopped at Benuct's Hotel, anil thought of the charges. Waoo.s Makixo. We learu that Salem wagon makers are doing well of late and have plenty to do. We looked in at the Premium Wagon Factory yesterday anil saw a specimen of the four spring light Wagous Bowie is turning out, which are sold as fast as made. About four Bowie Wagons are turned out each week and about fifty Lave been made and sold since the shops commenced work. This keeps skilled mechanics at work here and adds materially to tbe prosperity of Snlein. What is neededis more enterprise and the foundation of permanent manufacturing interests here to cause Salem to be a very prosperous city. All tbat will come to us in due time. Histort or the Resklliost. Mrs. J. B. Frost has left with us tCe first volume of her work on tbe rebellion. The notices given it by first-class papers at tbe East an very commendatory and tbe book npnn examina tion seems to be a plainly told story, given with all the sympathy a patriotio woman naturally feels, of the epoch which saw slavery and rebellion disappear together. Most of the histories are too voluminous for the use of families, but Mrs. Frost's work is written with an ease and grace tbat will make it valuable for young as well as old. The second has not yct-bcen issued. She will present the work to our citiiens and solicit subscriptions. Overland Store.

The ScrrRAOE Qceetiox. We publish to-day a "Communication from Mrs. Frost, a well known writer and author, who takes strong ground against tbe Woman Suffrage movement. Mrs. Frost is making a short stay in Oregon, being a resident of -Connecticut, and as the subject is one that greatly interests the women of America we take pleasure in having tbe opinions of. an edacated woman upon that subject. Heard From. r. C. S. Woodworth and family bave been beard from at Klam ath Agency, where they arrived in ten day travel.

Hutch inson, Kohl A Co. are about to bave anoth er steamer out from New Tork to run on the line between San Francisco and Port land in company with the Constantino. The last named steamship left San Fran cisco day-before-yesterday with a large number of passengers, and is expected soon at Portland.

A correspondence from there, in to-day's paper informs us that these Springs, and tbe 220 acres of land adjoining, have been sold for tbe round sum of thirteen thousand dollars. This sale, if the purchaser understands how to make tbe springs comfortable and attract ive for invalids and other visitors, will prove of great advantage to the public, for tbe medicinal qualities of the waters are proved to be of a great value, and they need to be made available by suitable enterprise. The Springs were first discovered by hunters wbo found tbat deer sought the spot. It occurred to Wilhoitto purchase the land which was held by the Stat) for school pur poses, and he filially did so, probably at the smallest figure. He has realized hand somely for hi investment, and it is proba ble tbat tbe old deer lick will be, io time, a famous resort, though to secure that the place will bave to be made comfortable and receive many embellishments from cultiva tion and improvements. Medical Societv. The regular meeting of the Third District Medical Society, was held to-day at tbeir nsual place. A full attendance and interesting exercises gave spirit and life to the proceedings. After the election of new members and the trans action of considerable, business tbey ad journed until afternoon. The session in the latter part of tbe day was devoted to the reading of papers, description of cases and discussions. Several essays, were pre sented, and important surgical operations considered, together with other matters of more or less value, which will appear in full in the next issue of the Medical and Sur gical Keporter. All were pleased with tbe gathering aud realize tbe importance of comparing their views on professional sub ject. They adjourned to meet again on the 1st dav of December. Firemen. A large number of firemen left on tbe train yesterday morning for Portland to indulge in a few hours of inno cent amusement. Tbey took Capital En gine with them to visit ber old home and friends. Sbe was the "pet" of Portland until the stcara engine came in and took the laurel wreath. Many a toast will be drank to "the engine that was -housed on me hill," and perhaps sbe will be afforded a chance to display ber wonderful capacity for throwing water. Couxtv Coi-rt. This Court met yester day and commenced business. The first case taken up consumed the entire day almost. It was a citation to remove Mr. W. H. II. Keizur from the administrator ship of the estate of T. D. Keizur, deceased. He wa not removed, a it seemed unneces sary. Tbe next ease taken up waa II. D. Boon vs. J. H. Upton, suit for $19. The demur was withdrawn and judgment given by default. After which the Court adjourned to meet to-day. Straxgb Deformity . A little child four years of age was introduced at the Medical Society's meeting yesterday, and its head which has become enlarged from some cause, measured. Tbe following are the exact figure: Circumference, 27jt inches ; from ear to ear, 174 inches, and from the back part of tbe head to the eye brows, 17 inches. It would be really a beautiful child were it not for this deformity. Lectcres cpox Cbristiasitt asjd ! Fidelity. We see by tbe P. C. Advocate tbat the proposition of Prof. Rogers to Mr. Underwood is to give alternate lecturer npon tne chief point at issue between Christianity and Infidelity. This seems to as wise, as it avoids the objectionable' fea tures of a common discussion, while it ad' vantages are secured. It remains now for Mr. Underwood to accept or not the prop osition. Scdder Bereavement. On Sunday the wife and infant child of John Smith, of tbe Salem Market, both died, and tbe fu neral services took place yesterday after noon. The (tore were generally closed a the funeral cortege passed p the street. Mr. Smith is much" respected by his fellow citizens and great sympathy is felt for bi sudden bereavement. Opera Hoce To-Nioar.-This evening we are promised ah entertainment by Stephen Massett. Of late various theatrical small potatoes and humbug show have been in flicted npon tbe Opera House. The last humbug left Sunday, and did not either pay board bill or for advertising. W commend to those who are financially in terested in the success of tb Opera House, that they exclude disreputable shows from its walls and reserve the fine hall for enter tainments which caa. be atteaued by de cent people. Lecture. Tbe lecture given at tbe Opera House last Sunday evening, by Rev, C. C. Stratum, was largely attended and was an eloquent discourse. The points as far as wa possible, in so limited a time were ably proven. Tb field was too large to allow of any elaborate explanations, and after taking tbe points relative to each otber and conclusively proving thea to sane per sons. He closed at tea o'clock. W would place the number of the aadknoe st six or seven hundred. New 6ttle Oboaxs. Mr. H. D. Boon has just received a new stria Burdett organ with a campianUIa (small bells) attached whereby the com aaa be ehaaged so as to imitate the meaning of that word. It' the first one ever ia trod steed into Salsa and is well worth hearing. 'It with two more of that make, and a Ballet aad Canv . stoB grand pieao, will bo cm exhibition at the coming State Fair." Ma. Stepbem Massett. "Col Jeeme Pipes" to night at Reed's Opeaa House, gives some of bi celebrated readings, imi tations and recitations, serious and eomie, and, as tbere is much curiosity to see and bear him, we expect he will be greeted witn a crowded house. The Portland pa pers were loud in his praise, and below w give extracts from Baltimore and Califor nia journals: Baltimore. The Daily Gazette says : "It wa a mot decided success in every re spect, and the lecture proved to be all tbat the press ol other cities bad claimed for it." Tbe Baltimore Clipper remarks: "Hi 'Drifting' have been gathered into a beau tiful collection of literary gems, which, when delivered by bim, sparkle with a brilliancy seldom met with. It is to be hoped tbat Mr. Massett will shortly favor our citisens.witb anutber of bis agreeable entertainment." ' California. Tbe Morning Call, ot San Francisco, says: "His narrative and de scriptions were racy and interesting, and interspersed with imitation of peculiar people, met while passing through tbe world, which were very amusing. His imi tation of Madam Anna Bishop wa excel lent, inimitable, and a well as hi 'Forest io Hamlet,' wss loudly applauded. Tbe gems of tbe evening were the touching poems of 'Beautiful Snow,' and tbe 'Vaga bonds,' which be read with extreme pa thos. Wbile repeating the 'Vagabonds,' and speaking a if to tbe beggar1 dog 'Roger,' we saw numbers of tbe audience rise to catch a sight of tbe imaginary dog, tbe acting aod reading was so" natural. There was much variety in the 'Lecture,' and none of it wa long enough to tire, wbile as a whole it was a great success." Let him have a bumper this evening. Hotel Arrivals.

New Stocks. Two of our merchants, Messrs. Breyman and Grossman, left on tbe last steamer for San Francisco to purchase large stocks of goods for the fall trade. Quite a number of our merchants are now in that city procuring new goods, and w may expect to see as fine store in Salem, soon, as in any city in the northwest. Water Pipe. Some of our streets re semble the moulding room of an extensive foundry, so thick are the water pipes strewn along them ; but they do not remain above ground long, as a large number of work men are constantly engaged in laying them in their place. We will soon have the water going as the caulkers bave less than a days' work ahead and after tbat is fin. isbed the remainder will take but little time. Quick Passage. Mr. John W.

A new town, called Wood- burn, has been located on the O. A C. Rail road, seventeen mile north of Salem. Mr. J. H.
