Newspaper Page Text(priori 'gacefcfn $t at esnttm MlKfl, WIDKEU11. M?T. 24, 1S7K Scrted Him Eight. The tetegraph bringi word that Dr. Lamer, tbe Receiver of iko Lnd "Office .t Oljmpi, bas fceen removed. Tbrsts the officer Aetftttfeti of misusing public moneys, and of the pa, Vwb had so much 1o iy few weeks wince. Tne UeralH Was uncommon lolly over the report, emd we hope it will fciTe the Xdaritrirtrmtion credit for o so6i displaCtirf' him. ' The story Vat that an agtt of the Treasury De 'partment latety arrived there and the Receiver was Unable to show the foods 'in his possession, which, report says, bad bet,wed by a Ring for purposes or lan-a speculation. )ne agent was asked to give bim time, and the parties implicated sent over to Portland and borrowed $30,000, and putting it in '(fee'Heceiver'i safe, the agent was in 'Tiled to come and count the cash, tie Time and counted it, said it -was all there, and locking the safe put the key in his pocket to insure its remaining there, as be said, until be could write the facts to Boutwelt. The storv is a eood one, and the facts seem unde niable. Tbe joke on the Receiver was one of tbe best we have heard in a long time, and tbe best thing about it, which our Democratic cotemporariea will admire most, is tbe swift manner in which the Government removes a man proved un worthy, though not a defaulter. The intention of the administration in hav ing confidential agents in Its employ to ferret out such cases is certainly to protect the Treasury, and its immedi ate action ia the removal of Dr. Lam per, shows tbat it will not tolerate cor ruption. We cannot expect all men to be honest because tbe history of man ebows tbat the temptation to appro priate cannot blways be resisted by weak -and disboneet natures. Tbe Government should have no 'favorltei, and tolerate no corruption. In tbe meantime we do not learn what success tbe gentlemen of . Port land, who loaned tbat $30,000, here had in seouriag themselves from lots in consequence of the key of tbat safe being in tbe pocket of the secret agent, aforesaid, while their cash, was inside it. Seir Destruction of Tammany. The Kilkenny cats set an example which the Tammany Ring seems des tined to follow. They "fit and fit" until mutual destruction was tbe un happy result. So tbese four grand thieves, flail, Sweeney, Tweed and Connolly, are at onts, and the only consolation. tbe public are afforded is that when " rogues fall out honest men get tbeir due," though there is not much hope that any portion of the stolen money will be recovered by tbe plundered taxpayers. Hall and Sweeney are bound to crush Tweed and Connolly, so tbe tele graph intimates, and we hope it is so. The destruction of tbeir respective characters will be a small job and won't disturb tbe public equanimity a particle. There is little of that left ; but the quarrel amounts to a free show offered the propte, for which tbey paid heavily in advance. Its grand pecu-. liarity will be tbat bo one will care wbich tide whips, and all the world will watch and wait very resignedly for the tip end of the tails to wiggle as tbe only remnant of the glories of Tammany when tbe row is wonnd up; and then the name Tammany, hereto fore a power, will bo played ont for ever. - California Ligiblatcbi. Tbe late election in California bas resulted in giving tbe Republicans tbe popular branch of the Legislature by a large majority, nearly two to one ia their favor, but tbe Senate is still in doubt, as of the Senators who hold over, fif teen nut of tbe nineteen are Democrats. So although tbe majority of those re cently elected are Republicans, tbey "may. not overcome tbe majority of those who hold over. There will be no doubt about tbe election of a Re publican U. S. Senator. It wonld be desirable to bave strength in each house to repeal certain obnoxious leg islation, but it is hardly possible tbat the Senate will disregard tbe voice of tbe people at the late election by re fusing to do so, still it may, -if that body bas any Dmocratic majority. "Wiiiiii My Wire," tc We hope tbe Statmmai man will get his money for publishing that last notice about some woman leaving some man's bed and board. New Amthtcul. Tbe oWy man who ever advertised "bis wife and did'nt pay us moved to Portland, and soon after tbe Ktw XorthvtMt stated be rushed up here and stole the woman's affections back again and took ber where tbe protect ing aegis of woman's rights will save ber from future barm. We attributed his reformation to reading tb early numbers of the Ifev A'orthwett, but it can't be complete and reliable as be till owes for advertising tbe woman who doea'nt seem to mind his slaaders Perhaps she lives with him to get even as a woman has a right to do. Thai man should be protected for " Hell knows no fury like'a woman scorned.' Touching Iucldeit. In the citv lives a poor family the father of wbich is a Catholic, while tbe mother is a Protestant. .Recently tbeir daughter, a beautiful child o five vears, suddenly sickened and died During its sickness it was attended by a nhvsician who was accompanied on every visit by bis daughter, a girl of fifteen years, who evinced tne greatest solicitude tor tbe little sufferer. When death came with its cold icy grasp, tbe young lady was there, and wilh tender hands closed tbe innocent eyes and ar ranged tbe form of tbe babe who had been called home. Tbe funeral took place tbe next day, and owing to tbe conflict ot religious opinions octweeu tbe oarents. neither priest nor minis ter was called in. Tbe yonog lady went to the house of mourning, and in company wilh the grief stricken parents, followed the remains to tbe cemeterv. Arriving there, tbe little bodv was placed by the side of its nar row resting place to allow of a last look at tba sweet face which all loved so well. With a low wail tba poor mother threw herself down by it, and with passionate kisses sought, as it were, to recall Ufa to the cold motion less clsy. Kveryooe was visibly af fected by ibis outburst, and when she called upon this young .lady to offer a prayer fur ber poor darling, all rever entially uncovered and knelt to tbe ground. Tba young lady without a momeots hesitation, knelt and com menced- praying. At first ber voice was visibly affected by emotioa, but as she proceeded she seemed to forget self and surrSundings, and poured forth each a fervent and touching ap peal to tbe Tbrone of Oraee that there was not, when sbe -ceased, a dry eye or an unmoved heart in tba assembly. When she bad inisbed, tlje -body was carefully lowered into tbe grave, ahove which now grows some beautiful tiow . era, mementoes of tbe love of tbe lair young kij .itemphii Avalanche. Ssan B. Anthony. The appearance of Susan B. Anthony 1 Dng s created much interest, ana 1 tho the announcement tbat she would lec ture on Woman's Rights" drew out very large audiences, composed of per sona of all shades of opinion. It is generally conceded that she told mauy trnths and told them remarkably well. People may have expected that a cham pion of the new movement would be something of a scold, bat the tones in which she did her scolding for she did scold all mankind at a terrible rate were decoroas and womanly, so much so that thw effect of her lectures was greatly enhanced by the admirable manner and apparent good taste ot tutir delivery. As we have said before, we recognize tbe important nature of tbe movement, aad are not prepared to deny tbat tbe rights of woman nerd more protection, and it is certainly tbe first duty of man to accord to ber every privilege she can claim, and we believe it will be his pleasure, also, to deny to wife, mother, and sister, nothing that make her happy or that can make the world at large happier or better We object to tbe tone of Miss Antho ny's lectures because she assumes as tbe foundation of her argument that man is an' anreasonala tyrant, that he is almost universally unfaithful to his marriage vow, and that be, In the average of cases, defrauds bis w.fe of ber just earnings and denies ber any voice In government or any protection under tbe law. She would make mar riage a matter of business ; we would wish to bave It considered ever as a sacred obligation which only death tkaa Id Dart, eieapt a&4t tho eaoot cruel circumstances. She denounces tbe laws with reference to woman's rights, whereas the statute or our State is strongly in ber favor. She sums up the evils incident to society, wbich are promoted to a certain degree by the very civilisation we boast of, and claims they can all be cored by giving women the ballot, a remedy wbich we could wish to be efficient, but which we have only her word for, which she established by no reasoning that deserves to be called logic. And she smoothed over the difficulties in the way with silky touch, as If woman was, of course, an angel, whose na ture would survive the pollution of politics and sustain no blemish by be coming ambitious for office. Miss Anthony asserted much and with plausable voice and earnest man ner, proved little. Gathering our wives and daughters together by them selves,' she told them men were as a class unfaithful, and we regret 10 say that she illustrated ber private lecture with improbable anecdotes that were borrowed from a condition of society a political stump orator could scarce invade with impunity. We believe tbat when the first effect of her ap pearance wears away, the women of Oregon will realize that while she told many truths and iold them well, she treated their own husbands and fathers unfairly. Though there are many as bad as she described too many still we resent tbe charge, brought, by a disappointed and sarcastic womao neither a wife or mother against the race of men who are to-day carrying civilization to its highest point, rais ing bnman natore above its former level, giving woman more privileges than she has ever bad, and whose motto is freedom, equality, common education and tbe elevation of the laboring classes. She is not entirely dulnterested, either, in adopting tbe role of a reformer, for she seems 4o bave received a very handsome sum, even here in Salem, for her attempt to prove that 11 all men are liars." Swamp Land Troubles. Troubles in relation to Swamp Land matters seem to abound in several States and to be tba cause of much dissatisfaction among the people, for ia every instance speculators are favored-and tbe people are the losers. California bad snch legislation and tbe people actei upon the matter by revo lutionizing political matters at tbe late election. Tbe legislation of 1870 in our own State was most unscrupulous and un justifiable. What we wanted was merely to legislate to save tbe swamp lands to the State, which bad never been done; but tbe lobby interests, cobined with tbe greed of some of tbe legislators themselves, procured the passage of an act which disposed of tbe lands in advance of tbeir acqnisi. tion and tbat, too, contrary to tbe best interests of tbe State. Without. ever waiting to ascertain the extent or value of the swamp and overflowed lands of Oregon, or what rights of ac tual settlers would be invaded, a law was passed to make wholesale disposi tion of all wet lands to the first claim ants. Next Spring, when the people of Oregon come to vote, tbey will be sure to ask bow the interests of tbe State were considered in relation to taw amp lands, and it will appear that without tbe slightest knowledge of an official character as to tbe extent and value of such lands ; without inqiring if tbey were io part alrearir occupied ; with out providing lor the nitrrrst of such persona m propose lo become actual trlilrrv, but in theinterest of rapacious spectators alone, the swamp lands of Oregon were divided around among those who had asked for tbe job to be done, and a number of the legislators themselves, and tbeir friends of tbe political rings, were counted in as beavy swamp land claimants. We saw the disgraceful scattering of these land vultures, the very instant tbe ink was dry on the Governors signature, rushing to the four quarters of Oregon to take advantage of an emergency clanse in the law, and be in advance, before the people at large could Gad out what infamous legislation had been accomplished. Tbese facts will increase tbe majorivy by which Dem ocracy-will be routed in Oregon in 1872. About tba most extraordinary legis lation known or, has oeen achieved in Inditna, wbich bas had strong Demo cratic tendencies for a year or so DacK This was a law passed to incorpo rate a company to drain- tbe im mense body of land npon tbe Kankakee river, and antboriting tbe nn to lew assessments npon tbe land owners to carry tbe same on. These assessments frequently amount to double the valoe of the land, and threaten to roio tbe' proprietors, but tbe insatiate schemers ; won't stop, though the whole country has indig nantly risen ia opposition to them. is rather interesting to learn that much of this laud obtains its value from tbe overflow, and is worthless without it, such as cranberry s warp pa and peat lands, which are assessed at more than tbeir value to carry on. the drainage plan, and will be worth much less a ben it is accomplished. That is a difftrvnt sort of swamp I J JttC 1 - ibuu uiiutunT irom wnat m r threatened frith, hut there, as here iotwe. of eDeculAtor. speculators has been eonftXted and the ionle have be tare sufferer. What Shall he done wit ae I Indian? rD. QTATCSMAM Adsuminl that the result of the recent attempt' it ne- gotiating wilh the Indians, of the Uma tilla "Reservation, is indicative of the fact that Lo. is beginning to know what's what on the qutetiou of valves. Tbat he can appreciate the valao of firet rate land, well located, as com pared with poor land and an isolated location. It, therefore, becomes man ifest, tbat as there is no mote chance to send the Indians out fee on d the frontier of the wbite settlements, the two racee are, henceforth, destined to dwell together as neighbors. It thus becomes a nutation with the white n whether anything can be done lo make the Indian a good neighbor set tied to some productive industry -in stead of what be now, loo often, is a wandering vagrant whose presence or neighborhood is anything but desira ble. In order to effect this object tbe Government bas tried Various means as a general system, but it must be confessed, with very indifferent suc cess. It commenced, with tbe factory system of purchasing tbe furs and pel tries, collected by tbe Indians, by tbe chase.. This plan afier trial was given up, and an effort made to induce tbe Indian to become a tiller of the soil, by furnishing bim team, feed, in struction, sc., Jf ., at tbe same lime a partial supply of clothing was furnish- ad, by the Government, for such a se ries of years as it was supposed would enable tbe Indian to become firmer enough to supply bis own wants. Stiix is the plan generally followed at present, and bas been partially suc cessful, in a few cases, tbe most so where tbe tribe had been weaned from the hunter's lire, by becoming owners and possessors of stock, horses and cattle. Thus I think it gill be found, the history of the attempts of the American Government to benefit tbe Indian, by inducing bim to adopt a settled occupation, will be found to accord with the teachings of general history : that the most common, nat- ural and effective methods of trans- forming a wild and roving race of peo ple to tbe condition of settled homes and civilization is that the pastural pursuits should succeed the hunter's as a preparatory course. Take as an illustration those lodiass on the Umatilla Agency, and I think it will be found tbat the individuals ol tbe tribe which showed tbe most cor rect estimate of the value of their present location and tbe most disin clination to move to another were those who bad the most stock, and have con sequently attained to tbe best jndg--ment of tbe value of property. View ing tbe berdsmans life as the easiest method of gathering wealth from a large area of wild land, and as the occupation into which it wqjild be tbe easiest to induct the Indians, it has been a matter of surprise to me tbat the experiment has never been tried as a settled Government policy. Speaking on this subject to the late Mr. Hunt- j ington, I found he was of tbe opinion tbat if tbe Indians were stafted as shepherds, they would leave their flocKt , at the commencement of the berry season, to the tender mercies of I beasts of prey, or in a time of scarcity of food, eat them alt themselves. Yet, in tbe same conversation, Mr. H. told of M'jor Borrhart's having given some Cosset lambs from bis flock to some sqtjawi of the Umatilla Agency, and they had been so cared for that they were increasing rapidly. This, I think, is a good indication tbat a little train ing and judicious advice would be more effective in inducing tbe Indians 1 into the pastural life than to convert bim at once into a tiller of the soil, wbich demands a continued applica tion of bodily labor to which the In dian character and babit is certainly much removed, but toward which the keeping of stock would gradually and certainly lead him as a means of in creasing his borne comforts as tbe prof its of his flocks and herds brought upon him tbe habits and wants of a civilized life. M. Insurance Matters. It is remarkable that while a num ber of Iuaurance Companies, both American and foreign, find it profita ble to make large deposits to secure tbe privilege of doing business in the Slate cf Oregon, tbe capitalists of our own State have never before been able to organize a home company to do its share of the Insurance business and benefit the State by keeping that much money at borne. An effort is now mak ing to organize such a company, aad while its chief business will be locat ed at Portland, no donbt our citizens who bave means to invest will be of fered an opportunity. This is a move ment wbich should be encouraged, for there is no doubt that a good souud Oiegon Company, could do a success ful business elsewhere on this coast, and even in California. There is no reason why Oregon men should sub scribe to tbe stock of California In surance Companies when tbe field is so inviting for formation of one or more good Insurance Companies in our own State. GBEAT REJOICINGS I From 700 to 800 Persons Present ! NO MORE DEMOCRATIC RULE. List night an immense throug as sembled to apeak, shout and throw up their hats, in consequence of the late Republican victory achieved in Califor-I nia. Judge Boise was called for, and such a dish of truths as he produced, tbe Democrats will have no desire to taste again soon. Be proved conclusively that the Democratic party had opposed every measure necessary to elevate the condition of the human race in all tbat pertains to tbe good and great. Hon. J. C. Csples followed with a flow of eloquence, thai brought forth rounds of applause that echoed and re echoed tbronghout tbe length and breadth of the city. Hon. Rufus Mallory next took tbe stand and spoke in bis usual clear and vigorous style. At a very late hour the crowd dispersed all Repub licans jubilant and happy. Cheer, loud and long, were given for Presi dent Grant, tbe late victory in Cali fornia, and the Republican victory to be gained in Oregon next June. ! Captain Fred. P.

The City and County. From Saturday' 'Daily. Jr.rrMtsosv Jacob Conger, Kq., of tbe city on tbe Santiam, informs ns tbfi't the 'l.adg end improvements for tbe Dearer ' Hosiery Co. are progressing, and tbe ma chinery can be put ra operation within ten day after its arrival. It was shipped from Boston Auj-nst 18th, and may be looked for fftoto. he saw mill of Absalom Smith has been crowded with woik all summer and is ctiU behindhand With orders unfilled. Mr. Smith is building a handomo private resi dence. The grist mill of Conser 4 Co. is being put in order, its power increased and works generally improved and will start up in about two weeks, prepared to manufac ture tho very bott quality of flour, and more 6f ft than ever before. Wheat bas been selling at Jefferson for $1 10 until a few days past and now commands $1 15 there. The farmers thereabouts bave engaged about half their 'crop. By next Wednes day the mill warehouse, which ran bold 30,000 bushels, will be filled ami then they will store away 10,000 bushels more in other buildings. Conser is hound to make times lively at Jefferson, and we wish him abund ant success. The railroad track is laid to tbe mill and cars are constantly discharging, Eqi'estriak.ship. The sweetest little item of yesterday was picked op as a lady equestrian was dashing gallantly down Commercial street. While gazing upon so beautiful a picture we wondered why our ladies generally did not manifest a greater delight in this pleasing exercise. With the fair sex this is not a very popular amuse ment, from the fact, perhaps, that but a very few of them can ride at all. We ven ture to sny that if tho ladies will only ex press a desire for such recreation, the gen tlemen will be quick to afford them oppor tunities. Miss Susan B. Anthony would , doubtless rejoice if every lady io America could mount a horse and gallop off at full speed. Pkksoxal. Mrs. Duuiway, of tbe -Vcie trthtrett, gave us a call yesterday, a very pleasant one, considering bow we have been strangers heretofore, except as our sister of the quill bas teen fit to touch the States man up occasionally. Sbe informs us that we are Jo have several little notices in this week's issue, "but w shall " set down naught in malice," even if tbey are ever so spicy, for having made acquaintance with us, sbe is sure tp inform her readers next week in her most effective manner that the hatchet is buried and the war whoop will nevermore be raised against the Statesman. We don't mean to say that thore has been war between ns, but hereafter there is to be peace. California Geographic Tbe Sacra mento Reporter tells how Oregon labors un der disadvantages, and quotes aS a speci men that settlers at Goose Lake have bad their crops eaten up by crickets. Now the Reporter bas got over the election news so to hare fifteen or twenty minutes, more or. less, to spend in looking at tho map, he may possibly discover that two thirds, or more, of Goose Lake is in the State of Cal ifornia. He probably thought it was part of the Willamette Yallry and located in Polk county. Self PosisimBNT. Jack Sbephard con cluded his walk oi 106 hours, without rest or sleep, on last Wednesday eveuing. Per sons who saw him, during the last hour, say be was a pitable spectacle. The pro ceeds did not amount to $20. JacK bad better go to work on the railroad. His ex hibitions are not appreciated around Ilar risburg any mora than tight rope perform ances are in Salem. Dr. Aborn was in this city yesterday making arrangements for rooms at the Chemeketa Hotel during Fair week, and possibly the week before. We call attcn tion to the cards published this morning, testifying to his success in Portland, ileis doing an extensive business there and . meeting with great success in treating ob stinate cases. Pic Nic. The members of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday Schools leave on this morning's train for Brooks Station to hold tbeir ajithial pic nic. The railroad authori ties give tbe round trip for twenty-five cents. This is generous and affords a fine. merry time for the young flks. We wish them immense joy. Coming to Salem B. F.

Mis Anthony did well, on last Friday evening, in her effort to answer many ob jections hrged against woman suffrage. She declared the ballot to be the emblem, of liberty, respect and integrity. Man may possess wealth, position honor, and if he bas not the ballot, he is nothing ; be may have neither the above, even though he be stripped of everything that is desirable, and still bear tbe right to vote, he is a sov ereign. She showed the absurdity of the argument that man represents woman, by referring to the six hnndn d thousand bus bands who are to-day victimised by drunk enness and shame. Every person must be represented by person or by proxy. Be cause man is the bead of tbe family is no reason that be should rule supremo ; brains would always win, and if woman had the greatest amount, she should be permitted to make use of theui. If a woman has the greatest amount of executive talent she bas a right to exercise it ; then many women would not be de prived of their homes, by the mi.manae- ment of reckless and extravagant husbands. As tbe divine right of Popes bas been overthrown, the last is, to overthrow the tbe divine right of man. Man docs not wih woman to vote, be cause on bis return home, he wishes to en ter a different atmosphere so as to relieve the monotony of every day life ; still wo mao must pass all the day in tbe kitchen and if she asks for a change of atmosphere the men say no, home is tho place for wo man. She acknowledged tbe fact that tho ballot and the bullet should go together, and tbat women are willing to bear arms in defense of their country ; thousands of glorious women followed io the wake of our noble soldiers, administering to the wants of tbe wounded and dying ; this she thought to be as high an honor as firing the bullet. Five hundred women actually tmuj-gled their Way into the army choosing to battle alongside of their friends, ratber thnu Le deprived of tbeir society at houiu. These same women, as fast as government detected their sex, were sent borne without a dollar for tbeir se vices : the speaker thought that it ill become the men to say, that if you vote you must fight. What so-a oiety needs most ia, a more familiar interest in the same topic ; give woman tbe advan tages of a broad generous culture and the harmony of society will be vastly increased. The quarrels that men anticipate will arise between husband and wife, she thought to be an acknowledgement on the part of the men not to allow the wife to vote the way she wants to. The cultiva tion of a woman's brain would not" in any wise rob hor of her anxiety for her chil dren : an intelligent woman will take far better care of her family than an ignorant one. Yt ben women vote tbey will have tbe power to rob men of some of their freedom and license ; then drunken, libertine hus bands will be at a discount ; the golden hope of this movement is to exact of man the same purity and chastity that he do niands of woman. It is true that woman's mis;ion is to go in the lanes and byways and seek to elevate the condition of her race; but while she is doingv this, thou sands of women are falling to this same level ; hence it is necessary that Women should have tbe ballot, so as to render her protection possible. Women are always ready to vote on tho side of temperance, purity and truth. Women who say. they do not want to vote are ignorant npon the question of the ballot and its relation to the citizen. Our interest as men and wo men are so linked together that whatever affects one affects the other. As the last link of slavery has been broken, so should the chain bidding one sex to the other be broken. She claimed that all tbey wanted now was the liberty to vote, and would not sup port any party tbat was uot in favor of the enfranchisement of women. The grand re sult of which will be to purify politics and elevate our government to a prouder posi tion than it has 'ever attained. She informed the ladies present that they had tbe right to vote, under the Constitu tion, and she hoped on Dext election day tbey woald demand that right, and if de nied enter suit against tbe judges of elec tion. We await the issue of events. Yol'kg Tarbuck. The young lad wbo was injured day before yesterday was play ing with the same belt, at tbe saw mill, at which Gilmore was injured luA winter Ho was suddenly caught and bis left arm torn off between the shoulder and elbow. The boy showed remarkable self-command aud did not even faint. We are told tbat as a cord was tied around tbe stump, he said, " Don't pull that too tight, it hurts pretty badly now." He was taken home and was ab'.e to tell where his father was working aud to give all information neces sary. His strength of will is au assistance to his recovery, and we are glad to hear that he ia doiug well. Apology. The subject of Miss Antho ny's lecture Oc Friday evening last, as ad vertised, was, " The Rights of Woman un der the 14th and lath Amendments." She desires us to state that she was not aware of any subject being announced until after the lecture was over. This explains why she did not speak on that particular question, Amputated. Dr. Richardson, assisted by Dr. McAflee and others, operated upon tbe boy who had his arm torn off in tho saw mill day before yesterday, by amputating at tbe shoulder joint. Tbe boy is doing as well as could be expected under the circum stances. Spiritual Grovc Meeting. Elsewhere is a notice of a Grove meeting to be held by Spiritualists at the old camp ground, at tbe lower part of French Prairie. The promise is given of unusual attractions in the exer cises. Boots and Shoes and Sewing Machines. John W. Gilbert, as you will see by his advertisement, bas an excellent assoitmeut of all goods in the boot and shoe line, and offers sewing machines on most accommo dating terms. Goldsmith's addition to the city of Port land bas recently been laid out and lots therein are offered for sale. See the adver tisement in anothar column. Tne M. E. Sunday School Pic Nic. Tbe children came back last evening from their excursion highly delighted. Such oc casions are always profitable, it well man aged, as this seems to have been. The proceedings of the Board of School Land Commissioners yesterday were as fol lows : The ease of . C. Brainon vi. S. R. Holmes, from La Grand District was argued and submitted ; decision reserved. Wheat. It strikes ns tbat farmers are getting good prices for their wheat. $1 25 per bushel is tbe ruling price here and we shall report when there is any change. Preaching at the Church.

Portland says that place was visited with a gracious sprinkle of rain, which was refreshing, etc. We are not in clined to grumble, but we like fair play in everything, and very much dislike par tiality. Salem hasn't so much as seen the g-hoi-t of a raindrop for lo these many days. Holland says however that " the rain falls kindly on tho just man's fields, ind on un just man's more kindly still v With tbis explanation wo are content. From California.

Ayes for Three IVtirs, Rrcorert Aj's Siyht Af ter briny Mmttr Dr. Aborn i Treatment a Jew (lay. to tiii: ri iii.if. For three years I suffered withsRANtrLAT EI sone eves, so bad that I was nearly, or, in fad, quite hliud ; so that I was una ble to recognize my most intimate fricuds except by their voices. I had employed tho best medical aid 1 could find in tbe State, without any relief, and bad almost despaired of having my eyes cured and siRht restored, until tbe arrival of Dr. Aborn at the St. Charles Hotel, in tbis city, and learning of bis remarkable skill and success in curing cases that had been con sidered hopeless, I" was advicd by my friends to try bim, which I did, about two weeks ag, and within forty-eight hours I was able to see to walk about, and have improved so rapidly from the very first day that I am now about entirely cured, so that I am now attending to my business as painter. The speedy removal of tbe pain ful disease, and restoration ot my sight, after having been so blind and sorely af flicted for three years, is so remarkable that I am almost overwhelmed with joy, and feci as if I was born anew. ' R. W. HAl GIfTO-V, Painter, Corner Front and Yamhill streets. Portland, Sept. 8, 1871. Remarkable Ci re. A card from Mr. R. W. Hougliton, painter, may be found io this issue, giving the fact of bis restoration to sight alter a few days treatment by Dr. Aborn. In addition to this we may give the case of Mr. A. A. Durham, an oltl set- tier of Oregon, who called on us la-t Tues day, anil assured us that with a few days treatment by Dr. Aborn, his eyesight was improved ; tbe joints of his hands and lower limbs, stiffened for years by rheumatic cramps, were mado supple, and a trouble some asthmatic complaint, of long stand ing, which prevented bis rest by night, was entirely removed. We do not mootion these cases merely to Duff Ahorn ; but being acquainted with Messrs. Hnugbton and Durham, we believe the facts wartant us in calling attention to these, as remarkable cures. I', t.
