The Oregon Menagerie stained for Philadelphia by the John L. Steph ens this morning. A steer weighing 3,300 pounds, 18i hands high, raised in Polk county, forms the bigyest part of the caravan. Oregon cougar, elk, "bear, deer, fox, a fast horse, etc. etc., compose the balance of the train. We are very thankful to Mr. AV. A. Foster for his efforts to get and se cure election news for publication. The last ballot was hardly cold in the box before we had a correct count of the vote of the precinct. "Demo cratic returns" from Tillamook beats us, though. We can't set over them. ! If the British bark Blanche, which left this port October 23fch, 1875, for Cork for orders, with a car go of wheat valued at $30,S00, has reached her destination we are not apprised of the faet. She was one of those vessels wholly laden at Portland, but was drawing only sixteen feet when she went to sea. Has she ar rived out? If so; why not reported? Under "water, glass may be cut to airy shape. The glass must be quite level while the scissors are applied; it is better to begin the cutting by ta king off small pieces at the corners and along the edges, and so reduce the shape gradually; for if any attempt is made to cut the glass all at once to the shape, it is most likely to break just where it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut much better than others; the softer glass cuts best. The scis sors need not be sharp, as their action does not depend much upon the state of the edge piesented to the glass. When the operation goes on well, the glass breaks away from the scissors in small pieces, in a straight line with the blades. This method has often proved very successful in cutting ovals, etc., which would be very expensive if ground cut; and though the edges are not so smooth as may " be defined for some purposes, the method is worth knowing.

J Editor Astorian : In my last, I mentioned that the schooners H. L. Tiernan and Enter prise were at this place loading with lumber. Tiernan dropped down the river on the 30fch, the Enterprise on the 31sfcj to wait a favorable opportu nity to cross the bar. On the first both schooners made sail with a head wind and reasonably smooth on the bar. The Tiernan failed to sight the channel buoy, which by the "way is said to be quite small, and at times nearly, if not quite submerged, and in consequence got too far to the north ward, striking on what is known as J the "North. Spic" quite heavily, Capt. Mitchell soon got a cage channelward, hoping to keep her from working any further around the point after a short time she swung from her first position but struck heavily on ancther shoal causing quite a leak. By constant pumping she was kept upj and her course shaped for the mill. She was kept afloat all night, but when it be came necessary to employ all hanids in working the vessel to make headway, she soon filled in which condition, she arrived at the mill about 11 o'clock of the 2d with her entire -cargo. The sailors give great credit to Ca.pt. Mitchell for liis coolness and judgment in working Iris vessel oft' in her dhificul Jty. After removing her deck load and a vigorous application of the pnui ip, the water was reduced in her hole some four feet, which shows thai, the damage was not so great as was first supposed. After getting her unloaded she will be beached near here for repairs. Tl le Pennonia, Capt. Wentworth arrive ;d on the 4th and is now receiving tl le hold cargo of the Tiernan. The En terpi'ise, Capt. McAllep, made the b or passage safely. It is much regrettod here, that this accident has occurre d, each one of the kind having tenden cy to weaken the faith of seamen in t3he safety of the p.issage from ocean to bay, the cause in this seems to be at tributable to insufficiency of tho buoy before mentioned. The Three Sisters loaded with oys ters for the Bay Center Oyster Co. last week leaving here on the i Id.

This is the best opportunity that we know of for any man wanting a good place, cheap, suitable for dating- or farmiog purposes. The onty reason for wishing to sell, is that the present owner Mr. C. M. Stark is about to engage in other busi ness. ;SGThe June number of Samuel's "West Shore has appeared and contains most excellent cuU,. representing the dif ferent gold medals and the silver cup to be awarded at the Portland Centennial celebration; and also an extensive gen eral programme of the exercises and tournaments to take place in that city during the week of juoilee. These en nnjeravings would be creditable to the best publication in the country. A number of other very interesting illustrations, also appear in this number, besides descrip tive and other reading matter. M . Sam uel evinces much energy and comprehen sion in the management of the West Shore, and success is weil merited. ii5It i& not the polished orator whos-hapes public opinion, but tho quiet editor, whose, words go out to the public ear without parade or ceremony. The orator may please the ear or ticklethe fan cy; but the editor does meie: lie satisfies themmd, and carries to every household a fund of knowledge. The oiator, by burn ing words and impassioned eloquence, may drive men to a sense of duty; but an editor if he be true to his profession, at trart men by tlm presentation of his thoughts which appeal to the nobler qual ities of head and heart. The words of the orator diop from the lips and are lost, while the words of the editor drop from the press, and like coined money, pass for what they are worth; if pure gold in the truths conveyed, they pass current every where. Eor good or evil, the editor wields a powerlul influence. lie can exalt or debase a community-. lie can advauco public corruption. How important, then, that the editor should be a good man, and that a 11 papers that convey correct senti ment to the public ear should receive lib eral support. IIow Advertising Affects TJusi XEss. Tiie man who advertises his "busi ness, if what he offers for sale is honestly what he represents it to be or what it ought to be, is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted, to. him and tested him. A bivyer ha read his advertisement, and gone to his store or work shop, warehouse, whatever it may be, and tried what was recommended. If it has satisfied him he is plea-ed and re commends it to his neighbor, vhois likely to go to the same place and tell his neigh bor'in turn. And thus little rills started: by his advertisement flow in upon him from all sides, and the current of his busi ness grow.s stronger and wider and more rapid', and he prospers and grows rich, all because strict attention in business he added judicious advertising. But for this he might have lingered on in the commu nity lor years and his Im-inesS would scarcely have been heard of. mtrmnrntt
