The Mountain Sentinel says : The nomination of Lane meets with the approval of ever' journal in the State that claims to endorse Demo cratic faith, with the single exception of Slater's Fizzle. Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines. A happy little woman is Mrs. Myra Olarke Gaines since the last decision effhe United States Supreme Court Giving her leave to transfer her im portant New Orleans cases from the Si ate to the Federal courts, says a-late letter from Washington. The former tribunals have always been prejudiced against her, while the federal courts have usually given decisions of the United States Supreme Court as a sure omen of her ultimate success. Sirs. Games is a remarkable woman, con sidering the troubles through which, she has passed. Involved for the last thirtv vears. in never less than a half a dozen lawsuits at a tune, for prop erty which she believes to be right fully hers. It is said that she looks al most as young to-day as she did twen ty years ago. Everybody who has heard of her, (and who has not?) doubtless imagines her a feeble old woman; and no one who has ever seen her says a Washington letter wri ter would ever suspect that the jaunty looking little lady with sharp black eyes, dressed in black silk, and wear ing bright yellow, curls, with not a "silver thread among the gold," mov ing briskly along Pennsylvania Ave nue, is the veritable plaintiff in the Gaines suits. Although she is now nearly seventy, the old lady protests that she does not wear a wig, and that her golden curls not onlv never adorned the poll of any other female, but that she uses no dye of any kind. While there are some doubts oji this point, no one ever had the hardihood to whisper them in her presence. Said one of her lawyers to the writer, the other day, "she's as good a chan cery lawyer as there is in the United States. Flxperience has taught her almost all there is to be learned in that branch of the law. Among the distinguished dele gates to the Grand Lodge I. O. 0. F. of Oregon now in session in Salem, we notice the names of Hon. D F. Drummond, Mayor of Victoria Jas. D. Robinson, another of the officials of that city, and II. D. Strove, Secre tary and acting Governor of Wash ington Territory. About the only business in the country which displays signs of ac tivity is the production of petroleum. The Titusville Herald says in regard to this interest that the number of pro ducing wells on the 1st instant was 3,G25, an increase of 500 in the num ber as compared with last year. This is the largest number of wells ever known to be in operation at one time in the whole history of the oil trade.

J. II. D. GRAY, JLBRALLIER, J. O'BRIEN. Astoria, May 10,1870. Last week the Fryer process underwent public test at Grass Val ley, California. The newspaper accounts report the. test as satis factory. But the best proof of its value will be its general adoption by the mining interests of California and the coast. If, as is claimed, the Fryer process can not only extract precious metals from rebellious ores, but save a large percentage in what formerly went off in the tailings, the mining men of this coast will not de lay in bringing it into general use. The test of practical experience will settle the question. If it result in all that is claimed for it, a new era of prosperity will open. Work will be recommenced on a large number of claims which have long been lying idle, and where hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been spent in vain effort to make mining pay.

The Mountain Sentinel (Demo cratic) finds time and space to say that Senator MUchell deserves the thanks of the people of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington Territory for his op position to the proposed reduction of mail services on the Kelton and Dalles mail route. The Oregonian (what you may call it) finds time and space almost every day to whirl a dirty fling at Senator Mitchell. It was the saying of a wise man, when his attention was called to any thing that had a smacking of scandle in it: "I have so much to do that 1 can not hear it. One-half my time is ta ken up with mv own lmsinns-v iho. . j other half with letting alone that of my neighbors." How many excellent opportunities of letting alone other people's busines are slighted, and the world is troubled with the interfer ence of people with what does not concern them. Neighborhoods are driven crazy by the reports of idle or mischievous people who watch for oc casions for scandal, and lose no op Iortunity of making it public, re gardless of its truth, or of the injury it inflicts upon the feelings of others. Gossip passes for fact and surmise for history. Died. Li Upper Astoria, May 9th, 187G, at the residence of her son, Mr. S. C.

A Russian paper announces that a belief in the approaching end of the world has seized on tho Cossacks of tho Don. M.nny, especially aged people, are giving up wordly affairs, wearing a shroud, and ordering their coliins. On every load are men repairing to Moscow to be consecrated priests, in order that the smallest village may have its own priest and church. The ttustian paper fails to state whether its delinquent subscribers have taken the -care and paid up. That to our mind would be stronger evidence of the approach of the .Millennium than any thing that a super stitious Cossack could advance. Prof. "Watson, of Arm Arbor, Michigan, reports a new discoverv in the constellation of Yirgo of a planet Mtherto unknown, tlie continued ob servation of -vhieli was interrupted by ciouds.

Occasionally a business man is encountered who :rofesscs to believe that" people don't read advertise ments any how !" A greater mistake is sel dom made, if a typographical error creeps into an ad. it soon becomes the talk of the neighborhood, and if the people do not read ads. how do they drop' on errors with such facility ? The other day tho advertisement of the Centennial restaurant appeared, in which the woid' eating" was set up" fating," where upon we wcro duly notified of the error by seven .alinasites and one Chinaman, and last ly, the Monterey Herald felt in dutv bound to notify us also.

Some time since he received the Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham ''Garden t ity Clipper IMow," and immediate ly advertised the same in our paper. CJreen 11. Smith, Ksi., a patron ot the (iactte, saw the advertisement and forthwith rhed to Thoni son's and purchased four of thise cele brated plows which at once have sprung ii.to popular favor. 2 o mater how good and valu able an article may be, a merchant or dealer may keep it upon his t-helves, or in his store for months, or even years, and but few will know anything ot its good qualities, unless he advertises. l"or years Mr. Thompson carried on business hero, and spent but little for advertising. U ithin the past two years his business has increased nearly double, and he attributes it to judicious advertising.
