SALES, W1M8MT OCT. 11. 1871. Ttlton on ffoodhull. Theodore Tilton, ooe or the nott accomplished of American writer, bas become one of the most impracticable of sen. So much 10, that it wu foaid impossible to rontioue him as editor of the IndepmieM, and be hat therefore started, the "Golden Aye, in whidi he gWes iterance to bis ' pro gressiTa" idea iJh full freedom. Yes terday's mail 'broTiffKt lis a package 'roniaiu'ing rvtjntl tracts written by "filtoh, all of which "bear upon the woman kjnestioo, ahd the chief one is a biography of VWtoria Claflin Wood- .. hull, the lelfrproclairoed candidate for President of the United States, whose ' 'Jinri al, known as Woodhull Jjr Clafiin'i Weekly, takes the lead in the Woman Suffrage easiness. According to Tilton, this woman has j led, not only la moat eventful and ro mantic life, bat one in constant sym pathy and communion with supernatu ral influences. : It certainly required more than ordinary credulity to'take in all the story, an.d it is not easy to imagine bow much was needed to write this high strung " biography " and publish it oyer bis ewb name. According to Theodore Tilton, she was bora of two devils, a tatber who was " inhuman, and a mother weak minded, and a&eotianater and vicious by turns. Her early home was a bell, and she taking her own word for it was ao angel imprisoned and ill-treated in it. Her nnhappioess was relieved by ministrations "of spirits, and ber : childhood was a season wherein pa rental inhumanity was only bearable j because she saw visions and dreamed dreams. All ber life, she has been guided by spiritual influences and ban done nothing without their advice and direction, 10 at least Theodore Tilton asserts, and if ao, it waa by their in fluence, that when only a child 14 years of age, she married a drunken debauchee and conivrtted ralte, and left her inhuman parents to find a home more infernal still, where greater degredation awaited her.' All this may be true, hut if so, the laid spirits imposed on ber infamously, to permit her to be born and bred and wed under ucb an unhappy combination of cir cumstances. ' ' One of Victoria's attendants and counsellors was a venerable old cus tomer clad in a Greek tuoic, and after many years of curiosity, which must bave been very wearing on a woman, she learned that her ancient friend was Demostbonese.' Under his distin guished patronage she-is now running, on ber own hook, as at least one wo man's candidate for the Presidency of the United States. She consults her oracles like a Greek of the olden time, and they plan out and picture ber pathway and lead ber forth in her march of destiny. She came to Cali fornia at an early day, wanted to be a cigar girl, and did become an actress, but spirits told ber to try some other fate, and back she went at their bid ding to take care of ber sister Tennie. She stopped on the way to. make ex penses, as a healer bv laying on of bandstand in 1869 ber receipts bad amounted (if we can believe Til.on) to $700,000. . , ' According to Theodore, Victoria would sooner die than live, and while we desire to feel charitable towards both bim and ber, we see no reason who she does not expire and done with it, as ber death would not be an irreparable loss, and ber life, If Wood hullk Claflin't Weekly is her work, is calculated to do only evil and that con tinually. - We cannot imagine any greater evil to society than to bave her teach ings, aud'tbose of the infamous class with which' she is identified, prevail. Then marriage, would be abolished ; then license would be the rule and virtue the exception, lust would be cultivated, even in chilbood, and brothels no longer need a name because there would be few homes that would be better. ' Theodore Tilton has evidently found his owa kind, and the Golden Age he treats of, should it ever be realized, which Heaven forbid, wjll be pois oned by irreligion, destitute of faitb, and tainted with corruption. As for Victoria Woodbnll, she would have humanity all " thoroughbreds" at the expense of everything that civa il'zation holds as sacied, aod exter minate all of human life that does not reach ber standard, whatever that may be. It was one of the late teachings of WoodhuH k. eiofimt Wed'tf that mar riage separates the sexes too long, and one of the latest of all ennobles the woman who would search the world to find men with proper points to breed from, and the more the better. This is the woman whose pure life Theodore Tilton and Susan B. An thony extol, whose virjue they en dorse. " j, If ber early life was bitter and ber married life so wretched that she be came incapable of judging of homes which were bappy and 'the religion which be'pa to make them so, we may feel pity fur her, but we cannot palli ate 'anything she may teach which is immoral, nor should those who pass ber by with excuse instead of condem nation receive eucouragement. The English Wheat Crop. The moat favorable estimates figure up a decrease of the English wheat crop by 15 per cent, this year. Ac counts later and not so favorable reckon on an average per acre of but 22 bush els. This is 8 bushels less than last year's average, 2 bushels If ss than the average of 1869, and 14 bushels lera than the great crop of 1868. In 1867 there was about a 22-buhel average. Io 1868 the whole yield was 132,000, 000 bushels ; 9b',O00,O0D bushels io 18G9; 104 000,000 in 1870 ; and thia year the estimates are for but ,6,000, 0U0 bushels. England imports 60, 000,000 btishels when ber crops are full. As they this year fall nearly 40,000,000 bushels below the averagK, ber imports will have to be that much jnoretbao 60,000,000 bushels, or 100 000,000, lo France the crop is short and prices on the 25th of August were 12 to 15 cents a buibel higher in the French than in the English markets. The English imports are gradually ris ing. For the lour weeks ending A u gut 21st they amounted to 7, 697,600 husnela, aod at tbat Time there wr 383 wheat ships to airtve against 366 at the same date last jmr ; making a different in favor of ihi year's date ff 792,000 bushels to arrive. If the figure, which are gleaned by m from Duglisii and French correspondence of Uh Mevr York papers, are not out of the way, our farmers may expect an at vancr in the Liverphol wheat market, notwithstanding the root and 'barley cros are superior In iglaod.

The late dispatches from Utah are interesting, as they show there are at tempts being made by the Courts to enforce the laws of the United Slates against polygamy. Very properly, the oldest aod most prominent offend ers have been arrested to be made ex amples of, and it would be a satisfac tion to know that the law could be en forced, but we must look upon the attempt as not likely to produce imme diate results, though the Federal offi cers are to be commended for putting the offenders upon trial. Ia the end the law .will be victorious, and tbe sooner its enforcement is attempted ' the more speec'ily tbe result will be at tained and polygamy be destroyed. The following facts are gathered from correspondence of the Sacra mento Union, dated Sept. 27, and af ford mere interesting aod reliable news about tbe sitnation of. affairs tban we can get from any other source : THB GRAND JURY Summoned last Monday week was made up with difficulty, an opinion prevailing mat the duties required from it would be far from pleasant, and that its sittings would be lengthy. Four Mormons were summoned, Geo. Q. Cannon, editor of tbe lJeieret New; Hiram B Clawson. tbe Mormon Ad jutant General of Militia and Superin tendent of the Co operative Institution; James Towosend, proprietor of the Townsend House ; and E. D. Woolev, Recorder of Salt Lake county and a Mormon Bisbop. Tbe latter did not appear, being exempt by law ; tbe oth ers were present as desired. Cannon, in answer to questions by tbe Prosecut ing Attorney and the court, stated that ie was a member of tbe church of Latter Day Saints, that be believed in tbe revelation on polygamy, that he did not believe a man commuted adul tery by becoming a polygamist in obedience to the revelation : and fur ther, in answer to a question whether if au issue arose between tbe suprem acy of tbe act of Congress cf 1162 and that of tbe revelation what be would do, he replied, in eubstance, tbat would be time enough to decide wbeti such a contingency arose. He was excluded from service on the jury ; and Clawson and Townsend, on sayiog that they entertained a similar belief, were also excluded. On Tuesday morning tbe panel was fllled, tbe jury charged and they retired to their room. HUMORS or 1HDICTMBNT3. On Friday it began to be rumored around tbat Indictments bad been found against leading Mormons, though names were only guessed at. There bad been frequent interviews held by tbe officers of court with Bill Hickman, tbe boied desperado, who is in custody, and of whom my last letter to tbe Union contained a brief aoc?unt. He was before the Grand Jury, and gave testimony relative to bis killing a man named Yates, in 1857, alleging that be received orders to do so from Brigbam Young, through Joseph A. Young, big son. He directed the off! cers, it is said, to tbe spot where Yates was buried, aod they visited the spot aod dug up boned iu tbe place indicat ed. Of course, as tbe proceedings of a Grand Jury are secret, these rumor are still nnautheoticated, although they receive a degree of probability from the boastings of Hickman to par ties in town that be had " done for old Brigbam. During Monday aod Tuesday it was not known outside what policy th) Mormon leader would pursue, but it began to leak out that be bad employ ed or retained some of tbe ablest law yers in the city, including ex-Congressman Thomas Fitcb, Mnjor C. H. Hempstead, late United States Attor ney, and Mann, Eirkpatrick, Snow, Hoge, Miner, and others, and that he would meet in the courts any charge tbat "might be brought against bim, whether for breaking the an ti-polygamy act of 1862, or tor any other alleg ed crime. He declared bimsell willing to meet any and all accusations alleged against bim before any proper legal tribunal, but would not submit to a mob or mob violence, of which he said he and bis people bad bad more tban eneugh of in Ohio, Missouri and Il linois. THE STORY OF YATES, the murdered man runs thus : Yates was a monntaineer who visited the Mormon camp in Echo ctfnyeq during the rebellion of 1857, aod offered moc casins and powder for sale. The Mor moos would have bought the powder, refused to trade for tbe moccasins, which Yates declined, saving be would sell all or none. He then went to tbe army of Gen. Johnson, where it is said he gave valuable information relative to the Mormon forces, subsequently be was caught by tbe Mormons under circumstances that led to. tbe belief be wis acting as a spy, and he was sent to Salt Lake City with some others un der Hickman. Tbe latter says that 00 tbe way be met Jos. A. Young, who bore orders orders for bim to kill Yates, and that be did so. Young testified before tbe Graud Jury tbat be met Hick mail, its tbe latter slates, bnt merely made some passing remarks relative to matters at ite lront, aod tbat be did not know Yates, nor did be know wby tbe man was a prisoner. That Hickman killed tbe man, there is no doubt ; but bis unsupported testi mony as to the ordera will, it is thought, not weigh with a jury, from bis atrocious reputation aud general evil character. A Long Standing Sulsaoce. The students of the Willamette Uni versity, boarding themselves and liv ing in what is familiary colled String town, have long been disturbed by tbe Indian nuisance. That it shonld be permitted the tnia who's b'iMtit-ss none need 'o b- told, to disgrace daj by flaunting tbeir tilth and txpusiug their wares before the student's cab ins ; tbat night should be made bid rous by tbe orgies of tbe drunken In dians and more drunken and degraded scalawag be frequent tbeir camps nightly. Tbat these things should be permitted here io tbe midst of the stu dents' homes and on the University grounds, is a standing astonishment. We bave read of those who, to teach their children to abhor drunkenness exbibitad belore tbem tbeir drunken slaves. If this nuisance is allowed in order to confirm the students in sobri ety fcnd virtue, the plan should be ap plauded to tbe very echo. The stu dent feel tbat it is their right to de mand an effectual abatement .of this nuisance. ' A Stcdist. . Magazines.

In rdund numbers the amount of Im port duties rollected at all the ports in tbe United States f r the fiscal year ending June 30tb, 1871, was $202. 000 000.

Levi Oregon State Fairs. rould be interesting to compile it the history" f the Oregon State Agri rtlloral Society aod of tbe State Fairs held derieg the past ten years under lu auspices. Had the Idea been enter tained in season we m'gbt have search ed the records of tbe Society tor partic ulars of its orgaoixation and subse quent history, but at this time all those who are connected with it are too much engaged to afford the time, and it is only possible for us to touch tbe subject Hrirflr. The first S'ate Fair was held on the first days of Ootooer I8UI, ten years! ago this month. A meeting of the J Board of Managerg a as beld rpon the Clackamas Co. Fair Ground-where tbe ! first annual Ftir was beld on tbe ; 30th of September, and G. C. R jbbios, ! tbe President of tbe Society at tbe j time of its organization, tendered his j resignation, which was accepted, and I the Board, compnsed of J. Quinn Thornton, A. G. Walling, Maj. Riuears son aod O. N. Terry, elected Simeon j Francis, Fsq., "President to fill the va cancy. The Fair was pronounced a success'. It was inaugurated with doubt, hut doubts were soon dispelled, for tbe attendance was large, many coming, as now, with their families aod camp ing near by, so making tbe affair one of tbe most popular character, whicb has fortunately continued ever since. Tbe list of premiums offered was small indeed compared to those offered now, and both attendance aod display were meager compared to tbe immense turn out of later years, but they were suf ficient to show tbat the people heartily endorsed tbe formation of the Stale Agricultural Society aod intended to j maintain it. By an arrangement made with Ihe , Marion County Agricultural Society tbe State Fair was, in 1863, beld on the same grounds 4s at present, with an understanding thai should .be same be continued there for a term of years the title to the grounds shall vest in the State Socieiy. Each year tbe grounds and buildings have been im proved, and tbe spacious lands adjoin ing, also belonging to the Society, have been prepared for the accommo dation of the people who come io their own vehicles and camp there by thou sands each year. Each year tbe at tendance increases and the comber or exhibitors is also increased so tbat roomy additions have to be made i tbe pavillion and the stalls for stock. What tbe past of tbe Agricultural So ciety has been we Know, tbe character of tbe present Fair has not sufficiently developed to make an estimate of ita success, bat there is no reason to doubt that It will equal public expec tation and reward tbe efforts of tbe of ficers of the Society by being an index of the prosperity and advancement of Oregon. It is not easy to calculate tbe prac tical benefits accruing to our State from this annual display, wbicb brings together from all parts of tbe wide do-, main of Oregon the people of eaeb district, to compare the products and manufactures of each section, aod so stimulate laudable enteiprise and com peton. Tbe State Fair ia in many re spects an important agent in educat ing our people. It spreads practical information, causes tbe people of tbe various sections to become acquainted with each other, introduces new and successful ideas, as well as makes us acquainted with tbe most valuable products aud inventions, and if tbeo ries are practicable the successful theorist is sure to prove the fact to tbe multitudes who attend the State Fair, to whom it is as well a week of lu stration as of holiday It is worth a great deal to farmsrs to see and understand tbe qualities of well-bred stock, as it tends to induce improvement iu that important branch of this business, for if stockraising is profitable, they can easily understand that it will redouod much more to tbeir profit to raise horses, cattle and sheep worth double tbe price of tbeir 1 ordinary stock, because tbe same j amount of feed that subsists tbe scrub will raise tbe tbouroughbred. Tbe State Fair of 1871, like all its predecessors, and in like progression, is ! to be a success. Our skies are clear, tbe season ia most delightful, we are more i prosperous than ever before and in all j respects we may consider ourseltes a j favored people THE GREAT HEREAFTER. 'Tis sweet to think, when struggling Tbe goal of life to win, That just beyond the shores of timo Tbe better years begin. ( When in the nameless ages I east my longing eyes, Before we, like a boundless sea, The great hereafter lies. Along its brimming bosom Perpetual summer sniilc-s. And gathers like a golden robe Around tbe emerald Ules. There iu the bluo longdistance, By lulling breezes fanned, I seemed to see the fioneriiig grove pr fair old Beulah's land. And far beyond the island' That gem the waves serene, Tbe image of the cloudless shore Of holy heaven is seen. Unto the great hereafter Aforetime dim and dark I freely now and gladly givo Of life tbe wauderiug bark. When in the fur-off heaven. When shadowy seas are passed, By angel hands its quivering sails Shall ull be furled at last. State Debts and Taxation. The Chicago Mercantile Journal has taken tbe trouble to investigate tbe matter of State debts with a great deal of care. Its exhibit shows that thirty three Statesowean aggregate of $344, 090,787 90. Tbe average interest on this sum is seven per cent. This makes tbe annual interest payments about $24,000,000. Virginia owes tbe high est amount set down against any State $47,390,869 96 ; New York rr-mes next, with over $32,000 000, and Penn sylvania is third iu ibe list, with $31, 000 000 aod some thousands. The debt is classed by sections as follows : New England, $28,270,068 : Southern States, $182,436,764 ; Western States, $37,670,315; Middle Stales, $81,132, 007; Pacific States : Calif-vote ........$3,506,000 Oregon , lmi,633 Nevada 6fio,OUU Total for Pacific States.. ...84,272,633 The Sial-a that owe no debt are Mississippi, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Nebraska.

This ancient build ing, and relic of the founders of oar beauti ful city, fs soon to be disturbed and given a new spot of earth apon which it will prob ably wind up its earthly career. This build ing was erected in the year of 1853 and was then the must elegant structure in tbe city. But the rapid strides that our city has made in rfie last five or six years, to ward greatness, have caused this building tu bo rather eoinuione In fact, it has bo coon; so common as to have ceased to bo a credit 0 the community. The County Court at its present session bus sold the building to Mr. G. W. Lawsun and J. H. Hawkins, who will immediately set about removing the same to the lot joining Mr. Lawjon's residence on tho west. These gentlemen are to move the building, make certain repairs and allow the county all the privileges necessary until the new building is ready for use, at which time the county "cenc? to hold any claim wha'.over upon the old one. Doubtless this bit of news will lie gladly received by every member of the community throughout tbe county, for it is a fact patent to all, that our greatest need is a now Court House, and this wo are bounU to have. The Covi.no Event. It is astonishing bow much preperation is being for tbe com ing event, the State Fair. Already the grounds have hundreds of persons employ ed in arranging for Fair Week. Stalls aro opened and goods sold to tbe transient crowd, and tbe outlook shows tbat uucxam pled interest is felt in tbe occasion. ' Our town is full of life, and trains are regularly running to the Fuir Grounds with freight and passengers. Should the weather hold pleasant, of which there is every appear ance, the turnout will be far ahead of that of anv former year. The interest felt shows the practical progress our State is making, for this will increase with future years, instead of diminish. JoAijriN MiLLBR. In a late letter to the New York TVifcune C. H. Miller, or as he calls himself "Joaquin Miller," addresses his thanks, very enthusiastically, to Eng land and to the press of that nation and its literary circles which have extended so much kindness ODd courtesy to bim. , "Eng land g ive him a passport to fume and he very properly appreciates tho courtesy aud favor of English critics. In this letter he asserts bis intention to soon return to his home in tbe Willamette, so we may expect to see him in Oregon before long. Rev. A. Myers has purchased of Mrs. W. H. Willson ber late home residence on State street, one of the most desirable in our city, which he will probably occupy with his family when he comes to nuiko Salem bis home and the agricultural works are in op eration. Mr. Myers has also purchased the brewery property near tho britljie, so that ho owns the whole block. Tbe comer where Iho brewery is will probably be the business office of tho uiauufacturing com pany. M. E. Cm-itcH. The walls of this build ing are now of sufficient height ss to give a person some idea of tbe beauty the struc ture will possess when completed. Tho door frames and many of the window frames are already in position ; these frames are of tho Gothio style of architecture und from their appearance, we concluded they must have been fashioned by a dexterous hand.

No man now-a-days is ashamed to advertise ; indeed, be cannot succeed well without letting the people know what he is good for, or has that is desirable. But there are cheap ways of advertising tbat deserve rebuke ; challeng ing to debate seems to us a cheap way to notoriety, and has of late become a hobby. The last issue of the Mercury has another challenge we hope he paid roundly for it. The best way to get this method of adver tising done away with is for the challenged party to take no notice of t'ne challenge, but treat it with respectful silence. Thus, our public men will cease tu be annoyed, und the printers will get their rightful pay for advertising. Plre Bred Sheep and Goats. Wc larn from Mr. J. L. Parrish that Messrs. Thomas Butterfield A Son, well known stock breeders in California, aro to be at our State Fair with pure bred Cotswold Rams and Ewes nnd pure bred high grade Cashmere Goats. The advertisement of the same will be found in another place and those who waut to secure fine stock of these varieties will leel interested in know ing the fact. St. Charles Hotel. This elegant hotel at Portland, is kept in excellent style, the rooms and accommodations are first-class superior to any other in that city, and Mr. Jacobs sets tho finest table to bo found in the State, which is saying a great deal, but you will bear us out in tbat assertion if you stop there once. Tho card of the St Charles appears new to-day, and deserves to considered with attention. Dr. Van Den Bergh sends us still an other testimonial as to his success in ex pelling worms from tho system. He not only succeeds in all cases of that sort, but treats for diseases of tbe Stomach, Liver and Lungs, also for geueral debility, deaf ness and rheumatism. Ho is earning a most sat sfactory and substantial reputa tion, which increases as his success becomes uppareut. The Temple of Mystery opciis to-night with Carl Bosco as High Priest of Magic, and whatever mystery there may bo within ho has made great efforts with Tiansparen cics and Bulletin boards bearing wondrous illustrations to increase our wonder. Carl is a favorite, and if you have any tenden cies to Spiritualism, by calling on him you ran sec more wonderful thiogs done tban Spiritualists can accomplish.

Fair Gnorsps. Yesterday the Fair Grounds assumed an appearance which waa decidedly business like. - People were coming in from every quarter and were busy in selecting camping places and pitch ing their tents. The refreshment booths and there are plenty of them are well filled and the people will surely find no lack of something to "take." In tbe amusement line, tbe great crowd will undoubtedly be satisfied, as there are shows of all kinds and sizes, sufficient to suit the various tastes of the multitudes who will go about seeking after pleasure.' The pavilion is now in readiness to receive whatever tbo people bave to bring. Tho Luildini; in front of the paviliou has been leased by the Fix ley Troupe, where a series of dramatic enter- tainments will be given. The Catholic Fair building is very handsomely decorated nnd will doubtless meet with its due share of patronage. But little in the way t i farming implements has arrived. A thresh er, invented by Robbins Bros., of Bethel, arrived yesterday afternoon, tbe merits of which will be noticed in duu time. Iu tbe pavilion wo noticed several of Howe's patent of scales, which, for several years bave taken premiums at tbe Fairs in the East. A largo number of horses open the grounds and their keepers are treating them the best they know how ; the show of horses will probably be double that of last year. Thomas Butterfleld & Sou, tho well known stock breeders in California, have arrived, bringing with them fourteen pure bred CotswolJ sheep, ahd twenty-five Cash mere goats. One of these sheep a ram took the first prize at the fat cattle show, May 1S70, in Glostershire, England ; he is known as ''Lord Butbwoll," and is truly lurd ot his kind. Several lots of cuttle were expected to make their appearance, but had not arrived iy to the time we left. X ue-prospects tor a successful rair, were never more 'proin'isin. All tbiugs are now ready and ,pn to-morrow tnorinjf about 9 o'clock the machine will be put iu motion. Am Ai-fkav at Newport. We are in formed that one day last week, a roan, whose name our informant ditl not know, was stabbed at Newport, Yaquiua Bay. The stabbing was done by a man n;imed Jackson Horace, while at a dance held in the Ocean House. Horace was arrested, but, by some strategy of his, be succeeded iu making tbe wise Justice believe tbut, as the prosecuting witness was nut present, the trial could not proceed, so the case was dismissed without investigation, aud of course Horace departed on u journey. Runaway. Tho team of Judge Fryer, of Polk county, became alarmed at tho music, from the circus baud, and ran away. In the course of their travels they tore Ihe wagon np considerably anil wor?e yet, ran over a little child, about 3 years of age, son of Mr. MeCaslin. causing serious ir ju ries. At first it was feared they would prove fatal, but we learn since that the child will probably recover. Take Hack the Pateu. The gentle man (?1 who took the Daily Statesman from Dr. Chance's box on yesterday morn ing at a very early hour, is requested to re turn the same. This person was seen to re move the paper, and a repetition cf the of fense will give bim trouble. Serhhs Accident. We are informed that two boys, u&med Graham, were riding through the streets of Silverton, yesterday, and tbe horse becoiniug frightened ran and threw tbetn both off. One of the boys had two nf bis ribs broken while the other es caped without any serious injnry. Pipikax. The enterprising agent for these famous bitters has made arrange ments with the house of Weatherford Co., in this city, to act as their agents at this oint. U'e are inclined to think they must be a good tonic and a desirable article w Weatherford would not have wanted the ;ency. Enlaroed, The Albany Remitter come to hand considerably enlarged and well filled with reading matter.

Alongside the circus tent, at the right of the entrance, is a sign" Mexican Tom Thumb Museum." It seems that this museum, besides otLer great living cariosities, claims to have a Mexican dwarf, equal in diminutiveness to Tom Thumb. Of course, all tbe Fair goers will feel curious to know how small a man can be. Markets. The notice of tho market of Messrs. Smith k Griffith will be found among the new advertisements, also a spec ial notice tbat tbey have markets opened this week, un each sideof the Fair Ground, near the main gate As they aro prepared to furnish tbo best of meats, all campers and restaurant keepers, at tbo Stato Fair, will find it to their interest to patronize them. A WoNDEarrt..Ci R-Mr. It. W. Haugh ton, a painter, formerly a resident of Salem, nearly totally blind, lot three years and a half, bas been cured by Dr. Aboru in two weeks time. This case and another, wboui Dr. Aborn has cured in Portland, have been seen by tbe Ed. of this paper. The Calm Retreat from scenes of tumult and contusion, Prof. Pluinmer says, will be found at the State Library, where he will orate and elocutionize during this week, each evening, to those peoplo of placid minds who wish to be both instructed and amused. All we need say of him is that he is Jirrt rate. ' New Stock. Mr. H. D, Boon has just received another supply of pianos and or gans; also a fresh supply of new music. From Titesdoy'i Daily. I'.osco the Magician. Last evening 11. i l Bosco performed tho most wonderful feats in magic we ever saw.

To-night be will perform his great-feat of Transmogrification" and Spiritual Cab inet." The Fair arid " Bosco" must be seen by all before leaving Salem. Catarrh. This annoying, offensive and eventually fatal disease is cured, in a short time, by Dr. Aborn, after the ordinary mode of treatment have failed. Corxer Stone.

Our reporter went to the Fair with the rest of the world yesterday and spent tbe day in wonder and astonishment as to bow order is to be brought out of tbe chaos which, of course, exists at the commence ment. A State Fair baa more departments tban a State Government, and reporter is not certain but that it requires abler men to manage it. On every band there were arti cles offering for entry and clerks entering and labeling them, and then other respon sible persons took them in hand to give thorn a place in the proper class and order. Tbe business of the State Fuir has becomo so well systematized tbut order dint come out of chaos, and confusion docs not be come worse confounded, but becomes qui eted down und owes ubedience to whole "nine rules and regulations; but, of course, ibe first day is not the time for visitors to criticise, as the display is then only begin ning to be formed into shape. the pavilion. Tbe stock, and such bulky articles as machinery, etc., may come in early, but the people who bring the great bulk of the fancy articles that annually adorn the Pa vilion do-not arrive until Monday, and even later, so the display in the main hall is not yet complete, but we noticed that the show of plants aud flowers was already fair. Some fine specimens of fruits and vegeta bles are to be seen, and there are articles of fancy aud art work well worth examining. The ludies' dcpuitmeut, however, has not yet commenced to fill up, but will begin to got in shape to-day. STOCK. There is already a good turn out of horses, in which line the present Fair is said t show a better class of stock, and more nu merous than usual. The prospect is that as a borse show, this Annual Fair will be quito asucce.-s. There are droves of fine cattle al ready on tbe ground, aud many tine speci mens of choice breeds, but cattle are not yet numerous. Sheep are coming in slow, but those exhibited are of good quality. Hogs aro not yet in great force. Indeed, tho display of stock wbb not, yesterday, complete enough to afford ground for more j than mere casual mention. J ami sements. ! The shows are out io full force. The cir cus of Madame Jeal Co., aud the accom panying side shows, are sure to do a good busiuess. The Pixley Sisters have impro vised a theater, with their portable scenery, in the ball opposite and fronting the main Pavilion, where they can seat about .'!00 people, Tho reputation of the charming Sisters will insure that their dramatic per formances will be well attended. The Pan orama of Barker occupies tho building near by, owned by tbo Children's Aid Soci ety' and formerW occupied as a rcstaumnt. Swings are numerous, and some enterpris ing chap has built au elabifatu upper story of a swing, which will either maku bim or break him, it is hard to gu-g which. Til K RACKS. At 4 o'clock r. M ., iho 2-year 1 1 hor'es 1 were called out for a race, sin u'te dash of; one mil'. W. C. Seoggins named Mowitcb ;" W. J. Tennent, "'Novice:" It. W. Phillips, ' Poor Mau ; " Wm. Aucrs, ' Lancaster." The four colts, beautiful aud clean limb, d, were brought up and the start was spleudid. Xovice " on the inside, thot ahead, with " Poor Man " che upon her heels, the other two several lengths behind on pac ing tbe first quarter. Passing the second quarter, "Novice" still ahead, and ' Muwitch " lapping with " Poorman." All came down the home stretch under the whip, " Novice' parsing the stand four lengths ahead, " Muwitch " second, Lan caster" third and Poor Mao" last. Heat and racu won by " Novice ; " time, 2:02 At a o'clock a trotting race came off, 3 in 5, lor Oregon bcd 3-year olds. Three boisee were entered by iladley. Bates and Asbury, all of Eugene, but in all probabil ity tbe horses ull belonged to one man the result of the race was evident. The horses bad a nice start, but as two of them didn't have any trot in them, they were doubly distanced by Hadley's horse, which won the beat aud race iu 4:03. receipts. Receipts for entri up to la.-t night .nuoiitii.d to about $lon ; further particu lars wc could not get. Goiso to the Faiis. It is curious to watch the procession of Fair goers moving in almost constant procession towards North Salem. Yesterday the hacks, wagons and vans were out in great force, carrying pas sengers and freight; every once in a while there would come from the south, or fr m across the river some happy family bound f'oj a good time, their plunder loaded on the old farm wagon and all the necessaries for cjmp life stowed carefully away. Due instance showed ihe greatest amount t.f prudence afore thought, for half a cord of good oak wooil furnished a base on whi'h wete mounted the family ond the family baggage and supplies. That man knew thai' cord wood would be a great luxury on the Fair campus. Tho throng of vehicles grades upwnrd from the precious edd farm Wagon to Ihe elegant turn-out, consisting of tho matched span aud splendid carriage; and the folks difler from tho plain home spun, tbat shows thrift and iudu-try, to fashionable wardrobes just from the city milliner and dressmakes or the tailor, whose latest cut is all the rage. It is very uucer tain if the plain folks arc not the happiest and most blest certainly they arc even, at least, on th it score if they are conte nt.

If any of those who have subscribed f ir Ibe Daily Statesman on the Fair F round fail to receive it, as may be the ease accidentally, they will find Mr. I. Street aujong tho agricultural ma chinery, who will have a copy at their iT vice. and will see that the mistake is rem edied in future. Visitinb Cards. Mr. W. S. James puts in notice to say that he will write visisiug cards for any required address, and send by mail to fill orders. Mr. James is a teach r of penmanship and a master of the art. Break Down. A Portland back, run ning to the Fair tirouud yesterday, met with a mishap, as one of tbe wheels gave way under the pressure, and will have to bol rebuilt. Banking is carrie.l on at present rather promiscuously in this city. Tha latest in stitution of the kind is said to be a Faro Bank with a cash capital of $40,000, es pecially to carry on the exchange business during Fair week. AfCTioxEER. K. J. Nortbcutt.auctiencer at the Fair Grounds, has a large stock of valuables which be is determined to sell fur some price or other, ahd besidee that stands ready to sell anything aoybedy hni to dis pose uf. He always docs a " Laud Office" business at tbe State Fair. Gambling goes on iu our midst, and ott Commercial street, in plain gas light, to tbe mueio of the baojo and other instru ments, by which victims are lured in. Tbe gambling laws of Oregon cannot amount to much, or this thing would at least pretcn.1 to keep out of sight. Debility. All cases of nervona or gen eral debility art successfully treated by Dr. .A burn, at tbe CheuiekeLa House. Entries. The whole number of entries, ns we got tbem last evening, amounted to -i2n, lollcws : 'ls I, .34; do 1, V4: do 3, 31. dw 4. 4; do 5, 5; do 6, 27; do 7, 0: do 8,6; do'J, 1: do 10, 35; do U, Hi; do 12. 35; do 13..10; do 14, 98; do 15. 15; do 16, 6; do 17, 1. The Calico Potato is a variety which D. D. Pretty man has cultivated for two years past and whose excellence we have proved with good success. Tbey are spotted, red aud white, and cook up mealy and palata-b. Dcped and Doped. Tbe Marshals of the State Fair had a loud call yesterday to take care of two gents named Edward Black and James Duffy, who employed tbeir ele gant leisure to drug an unhappy individual, and having rendered their man insensible, tbey deliberately, in open day, relieved him of his valuables watch and money and left bim to shift for himself. This interest ing side show was seen, for it took place in broad daylight, as it might in a free coun try like this. Tbey resisted the Marshals, but finally yielded to tbe persuasive looks of Sheriff Matheny, who gave them a free ride to town and accommodations at bis ho tel under charge of Jailor Reynolds. Aits ok the City Council. In view of the necessity uf increase of tbe police force tbe present week, the City Council, at a late meeting, authorized tbe appointment of additional policemen during Fair week. A committee was also appointed to see that the roads between Salem and the Fair grounds aro well sprinkled. The following named persons bave been appointed special policemen: Wm. X. Smith, C. A. Hunt er, D. W. Prentice, A. C. Schwatka and A. Havden. GonnAM's Combined Braodcast Seeder and Ccltivator is advertised in our col umns by Messrs. Butts, Bunner A Co., owners of the patent for this coast. Mr. Bunner will have three sizes of this valua ble machiue on exhibition and for sale at tbe Fair, und intends to commence manufactur ing io our Slate. It is simple and effect ivo in oeratiou, and easy in inauagement. Our farmers who are interested in procur ing the best farm machinery, should give this invention careful attention. Wheat. Another depression ip the quv tations of wheat bas caused a decline at this point to $1 15 per bushel. That is what the Salem Mills were paying yester day. Those mills have already bought about loO.OOO bushels the present season, which is largely in excess of what has evir reached Salem at tbe same time in any pre vious yeur. Died. At E. F. Colby's, in Waldo Hills, Marion county, Oregon, on tbe Slth day of October, 1871. Mary E. Cos, wife 0f Win. K. Coss, and daughter of J.

There were four caes before the Rccor ler, yesterday, and two of theui paid their fines and went their ways while the others went to the Calaboose. One of the ill-doers was a woman who had come to Salem on speculation and became druhk and disorderly. Tbat waa what ailed them all. Kitchen's Hollow Metallic Btecr and Snot: Ib ri.. W. 11.

Va rious movements have been made 01 lato years looking toware the utilisa tion uf cotton-seed, usually considered a burilen to the cotton-planter, and iu getting rid of which great ingenuity bs ben expended. Atuonu tbe more receul propositions of the kind, tbat of the employment of the adhering col ton, anJ, perhaps, o! ibe woody ma terial, in the manufacture of paper, baa been brought forward, and a cal culation presented as to tbe number ot t ins of oaner stock thai could thus be introduced into the markt. Lately,! large .tablishinent9 bave been started in the South tor the purpose of obtain ing the oil from the seed, the refuse being cooverted into oil-cake for fat tening cattle. Tne crude oil brings in New York from thirty five to torty cents h gallon, and the oil-cake com mands nearly the price of corn, being Snid to equal it in its fattening quali ties. Shipmen's of tbe seeds have been nude recently iu great quantity t Ij v-rpml from New Orleans, one vessel taking over ten thousand sacks of the seeds, and abont one thousand acks 'f oil cak- ; and it is expected that these shipments will .be followed up on a larger scale As over two million tons of cotton-seed are .every year produced io tbe South, we may well imagine how important it will be 10 our country t-bould the whole of this now nearly waste substance be utilized in some form. How n Grow Beautiful. The woman who is indifferent to ber looks is no true woman. God meant woman to be Mttrartire, to look well, and to please ; and it is ooe of her dntiei to carry out the inteution of her Maker. Bdt ibat dress is to do it all, and to suffice, is more than I cau be brought tobelieio. Just bcnue I do lovo to e girls look we.ll, as well as live to some purpose, I would urge upon tbem u h a course ot reading and study as will roofer such charms as no modiste can supply. N. P. Willis wrote a very pretty paragraph on the power of edu cation to beautify. That it absolutely chiseled the features ; that be bad seen many a clumsy oose and thick pair of lips so modified by toooght. awakened by active sentiment, as to be unrecognizable. And be put it 00 tbat ground thai we so often see peo ple, homely and unattractive in youth, bloom in middle life into a softened Indiao Summer nf good looks and meliow tones. Working Farmer. Mr. Milford, .u tbe "Talk of Old Japan," says that nudity in the bath, where hot1 sexes plunged together, is as inooceot in the eyes of Japaoe- as tbe low-necked dre-sof our ladies is in nnr estimation. Tbe most scrupu lously modest Japanese vimti bas no more scruple in bathiug with ber whole circle of acquaintance than has tbe Long Brauch B-lle in seeking the surt ia prcseuce of her masculine ad-m'era.
