CzJ Tri-Weekly Astqriaii, ASTORIA, OBEG02tI ?Editor. I. C. IRELAND. 2 I TUESDAY. August 26, 1S73 X new roof has been added to Stall's furniture otahlisnmcnt in this city. We are told that the paper' used in making the postal cards cost more than the contractors receive for them from the government, and that the contractors will hcek for relief from Congress. One of the most beautiful specimens of Christian hteadf&atness of which we have read for a long time, is reported from the little town of Hyannis, 3Iass. There is in that town a Univeraalijst and n Baptist church. The former was lately struck by lightning, and set on lire, and the only bell on which an alarm could be rung was that of the Baptist sanctuary near by, but the sturdy old sexton of that faith refused to give up the key of the church, declar ing that he was "not going to interfere with the will of God." A curious incident in the life of the late Mrs. Somercille is related in an English magazine. It was truly pathetic that she of all people in the world should have been debarred a sight of the singular comet of 1843. The only Italian observatory which afforded the necessary implements was in a Jesuit establishment, where no woman 'was allowed to enter; so she was compelled "to look up at the sky with the mortifying know ledge of what was to be seen there, but for the impediment which barred her access to the great telescope at hand." A government exploration party have recently discovered rich beds of fossil deposits near the Niobrara river in the wilds of Nebraska. Some of these fossils are like those found here, in the removal,of earth for fill ing streets in Astoria. A letter from a correspondent accompanying the party says: " Of the scientific result of our labors it would be premature to write at length until Prof. Marsh's next year's investigation shall enable us to speak with precision of what wc found. It is sufficient to say that fishes, turtles, crocodiles, snakes, birds, lizards, mastodons, elephants and diminutive horses, some not more than two feet high and three toed, the camel and rhinoceros and numerous large carnivores and rod ents, indeed, almost all of the verte brate groups were represented in the beds which we explored." The business of Oregon Superin tendency of Indian Affairs is "being rapidly wound up by the late Super intendent, and, henceforth, that of fice will no longer have an existence i n this State. In vie w of this says the News, the fact may seem strange, yet it is true, that the necessity for this office in Oregon is as imperative and as apparent as it has been at any time during the last ten years, and quite as much so as it is in any part of the country. The explanation of the abolition of the office is found in the fact that the State of Oregon, dur ing the Modoc troubles, made itself distasteful to Mr. C. Delano and the Christian gentlemen who manage the Indian affairs of the country by the control that they have succeeded in obtaining over the President. If there is any other "less disgraceful thing to the Government of the Uni ted States, we should like to know w hat it is. Editors make mistake occasion ally, even editors of religious papers. One of these called some time ago at at the studio of Palmerr the sculptor. The artist had just finished a charm ing bust of the Infant Ceres. The marble told its own storr, for the symbolic corn and poppies had been used to that end. The editor, know ing little of symbols and less of myth ology, asked the name of the subject, and "was told, u The Infant Ceres." Imagine the artists consternation on reading, a few days after the inter view, in the art column of the relig ious weekly, that he was engagedup on a series of infants,- the first 'Of vhich he had just completednii . Corwiu's BniRli-Pex Remedy. iow tiiat tne smaiispox is in ourj west, we feal-it a duty the journalist owes to humanity to make known the value of a remedy that robs the disease of its fatality as well as many of Its loathsome accompaniments. Peter Burke, the first man who tried the remedy, was not confined to his bed at all with the disease. When his wife was attacked, a phy- sican was employed by her frighten ed friends, who determined that the patient should clie, or live, according to the books; so he refused to give her Corwin's remedy, and failed to save her life. We are reliably informed that of some thirty cases in the city that have been kept from the knowledge of the doctors or police officers, that they might have opportunity to de pend upon this remedy, not one has died; none are marked or pitted se riously, and the members of the fam ily who have taken the remedy as a preventative have in all cases failed to catch the contagion. We learn that Mr. Corwin labors under two difficulties in introducing this specific. The first is the press, which he cannot afford to pay for sufficient advertising or editorial mat ter to insure the public confidence, and the second is the physicians, who, like lawyers, are determined to adhere to old usages until driven to do better. We have taken pains to learn the truth of what we are saying and have no interest in Corwin or his remedy beyond the benefit that may accrue to the people through his chemical antidote for small-pox, which is be ing used with such wonderful, though unostentatious success, in saving hu man life from the most loathsome, contagious and fatal disease in the world.

Tho history of this medicino can .not better bo explained by me than by inserting tho following somewhat condensed lettors. SAMUEL CORWIN. Propriktor Sin Fiuncisco, July 2, 1872. My dear old friend. Samuel Corwin I have no uouui Dutyou win do mucu surprised on receiving this letter, but, perhaps, not more so, or more gratified, than I was to hear from you. Tho manner in which I heard from you, and learned of your whereabouts, is this: 1 happened to bo looking over an Orogon nows papor and noticed your name, as Representa tive elect, from Tillamook county. The thrill of ploasuro which I experienced on reading, is indiscribable. Tho many acts of kindness which I received at your hands long years ago have never been forgotten, notwithstanding our correspondence has been broken for 17 years. Well, Sam, I won't attempt to give you more than tho outlines of what has tran spired with mo since wo last corresponded. So many incidents of the past, in which you and I were connected, crowd up6n my mind that I cannot think or write of myself. Does your mind over revert to the past, when we first met how you took mo in as a partner, when tho3o who ought to have been my best friends threw off on me how we got snowed in and had to live on potatoes straight for sir weeks how good that grizzley meat tasted what a disgraceful retreat wo made from our poor innocent Jack, when wo thought we were besioged by a grizzloy. Well, Sam, those ovonts of 1852 frequently furnish subject mat tor for my thoughts, and, as I am writing to you, crowd upon my mind, but I will dismiss them for the present to give, place to that which will, perhaps, be of greater interest to you. I pocketed eloven thousand dollars out of the " Deep Claim" you gave me in Maraposa, and started for home in Juno, 1855. 1 invested four thousand dollars in real estate in this city, and loft it in caro of McLane, our old cabin mate. My property here has yielded mo a handsome income, and quadrupled in valuo. I went into business in New York city, in which I was very successful sold out two years ago, since which timo I have been trav eling through tho European countries. You know I used to have a' weakness for traveling; well, it has been gratified to my heart's con tent. Whilo in Franco I was taken with tho small-pox. Tho lady of the inn told me that I was fortunate to take the disease attnat piaco, as thoro was an old small-pox doctor near by who novor failed to euro, no matter how bad the disease; and suro enough, I began to re cover within four hours after commencing to tako tho medicino, and in twenty-four hours I folt quite well. I was so much elatod with tho magical effects of the medicine that I was determined, if "possible, to obtain tho formula, in which I succeedod, by paying handsomoly and promising not to divulge it in Franco. 1 soo from Orogon papers that you have tho disoaso among you. Tho enclosed packngo contains tho formula and sufficient material for familv use. I havo cured all tho cases that I havo como in contract with, and find it an infallible cure and preventive. When you answer this, I will forward sufficient of tho material to mako you a fortune, as I havo am ple, and rest assured I reciprocate past favors. I will close for tho present and await anxi ously your answer. Diroct to San Francisco, as 1 will remain hero about two months. Yours etc., ISAAC RICHARDSON. "Whon I received this modicino, there being no small-pox in the State of Oregon, I sent packages to a number-of placos in California and othor States, to bo properly tested, al though my own confidence in its virtue was p.omDlotoly established by the source from which I obtained it. Tho following lettors were duly.rocoivod from tho parties to whom I sont tost packages of tho medicine: Sacramento, Cal , Dec. 27, 1872. Samuol Corwin,. Nehalem, Oregon Dear Sir: I havo the pleasure of communicating to you tho fact I had an opportunity at last of testing tho efficiency of your preparation for tho euro of small-pox. Mr. A. Keyser, a friend of mine, was taken with tho mall-pox Dec ember 18 th. I learned the fact about six o'clock on the ovening of the 19th, and started immediately for tho residence of Mr. K., sit: uated about fourteen miles from here, towards Cache Creek. Yolo county. I got to K.'s place just twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, and commenced giving tho modicino procisoly at twolve o'clock. "Continued to give tho modi cino every hour until twolvo o'clock next evo ning, having given twenty-nine dosesj and, without furthor aid, K. recovered, and is now as well as ever, without any visible signs of ovor having had the disease. All of us who woro exposed, took of tho medicino as a pre ventive, and I have no doubt, by so doing, woro kopt from getting tho disoaso. Yours etc.. JAMES HASBIN. Ferndale, Humboldt Co,Cal,Feb.l 1873. Friend Corwin Yowr small-pox cure proved quite a God-send to this community lately. I had tho satisfaction of curing three of our townsmen of tho small-pox lately. Now, I am out of modicino, and I want you to sond mo about a thousand bottles, or send an agent down here, xou would do well to havo an agent in every town in California. I am get ting up a statomont, with tho signature of the parties knowing tho facts, and will send it soon. AcceDt our thanks, etc.. C. E. CHURCH. No person should bo without this medicino, as tho disease is now in various parts of tho country, and may be among us any day. It is an old and truo adago, that "An ounce of pre ventive is worth a pound of cure". T'is a wise man that carrios his coat on a fair day," etc. SAMUEL CORWIN, Proprietor. Nehalem, Oregon. GEORGE H.
