Stkam Fini: Exeixi: Tin at.. The
new steam fire engine which hxs just
leeii added to the Astoria fire depart
ment, was playing lively nearly all day
yesterday. She is being pul in fine
working order by an engineer from the
department of Portland.
Cod Fish i.v Dn.K.-The. British
schooner Pato arrived from the cod-fish
"kinks of the north yesterday with 2:5.000
iine cod-fish on board, under sealed
thatches. This is a valuable cargo, and
Astoria is the place to take them out and
prepare them for the markets, cither by
drying or canning.
Taxes Easy. If everybody had kept
their county orders, to pay taxes would
le an easy matter, but a county order
merchant has bought them all up at a
!icounr. The obliging clerk, Col. 11. It.
Speddeai, had his hands full issuing or
dcrs for some time after the county com
missioners went home.
Ix Victoria. We are informed that
Col. JoIhi Adair is in Victoria, expected
home soon. Mr. S. 1). Adair, who has
been engaged at the New Westminster
tannery for several months past, where
lie has a valuable interest, will also he
at his home in Astoria in time to enjoy
the holiday season, now so rapidly ap
proacliing. KEMAKiv-able. Yesterday a lady cus
tomer at J. W. Gearhart's store remarked
that a man who carried such a fine stock
of crockery, and glass ware, ought to be
a married man. The county treasurer
smiled as he replied that "perhaps if he
was a married man he would if t be able
to keep such a fine stock."
Periodicals. The magazines at
hand for October, (Harper's always
good; St Nicholas, interesting alike to
the old and the young; and Scrihncfs
which is becoming one of the standards)
all seem to be more than usually inter
esting to us,it or is because times are ge.
ting so dull that we have more leisure
for the perusal of books, that make them
seem so companionable? We believe
they are really better than of old.
Close Economy. People who do not
keep shingles stored in a locality popu
lar for loafing, know nothing about the
expense attending the supply of the ar
my of whittlers. To prevent the des
truction of bunches by the jack-knife
brigade, we observe that the owner of a
Jot near the house of steam fin1 engine
No. 3, on Capt. Flavel's dock has care
fully laid a nice shingle loosely on the
top of the bunches, marked '-'this is for
whitters; spare the tin straps on the
bundles."
Oregon Goods. While in Portland
last week we paid the Brownsville
Woolen factory company's depot a call,
oiii First street, near the Central Market.
We found Bro. David Dalgleish up to
his eyes m the finest fabrics made of
'wools in this or any other country. If
you want the very best of family blanket
take none but Brownsville goods, and if
your dealer does not keep them tell him
to send for a few samples such as the
extra size, bound, and No. I extra family

Whooping Cough. It is some years
since Letzerich affirmed that whooping
cough was due to a special fungus. The
assertion has been lately confirmed by
the researches of Tschamer. In the spit
tle of children who are suffering from
the cough, there are little corpuscles,
about the size of a pin's head, of a white
or yellowish color, which pass through
a series of characteristic changes, and
which seem to be identical with fungi
which are found on the peel of orange
apples and some other fruit-. By inoc
ulating rabbits with these fruit fungi,
and by causing men to inhale thein.
Tschamer produced convulsive coughs
of many days duration, with all the
characteristics of whooping cough.
Burning Garuage The process of
cremation. says the American Architect,
suggests a means to solve the serious
question, what shall be done witli the
street refuse and garbage. An analysis
of collection-5 from thirteen representa
tive districts give the following average
results: Water. :j.o:2 per cent.: nitro
gen, 0.:K) per cent. : combustible mate
rial, 28.-t.4 per cent.; incombustible ma
terial, tiSJiU per cent. Prof. Chandler,
President of the Board of Health, sug
gests a system of garbage cremation in
furnaces similar to those in the manu
facture of shell-lime. It is said that 200
tons of refuse and garbage can be crema
ted and rendered innocuous in 24 hours.
Such a system would involve le.ss cost
than conveying it to deep water, and be
far more consistent with the demands of
civilization and public safety.
The Uses of the Lemon. Few peo
ple know the value of lemon juice. A
piece of lemon bound on a corn will
cure it in a few days; it should be renew
ed night and morning. A free use of
lemon juice and sugar will alwajs re
lieve a cough. Most people feel poorly
in the spring; but if they would eat a
lemon before breakfast every day for a
week, with or without sugar, as they
like, they would find it better than any
medicine. Lemon juiceused according
to this recipe will sometimes cure con cen con
sumpteon: Put a dozen lemons into
cold water and slowly bring to a boil ;
boil slowly until the lemons are soft, but
not too soft, then squeeze until all the
juice is extracted: add sugar to your
taste, and drink. In this way use a doz
en lemons a day. If they cause pain, or
loosen the bowels too much, lessen the
quantity and use only five or six a day un
til you are better, and then bejrin again
with a dozen a day. After using 'live or six
dozen.the patient will begin to gain flesh
and enjoy food, Holdon to the lemons,
and still use them very freely several
weeks more.

jPSf-It is too late in the day to arue
to intelligent business men the piopriutv
and necessity of advertising themselve.
The fact is too well organized now that
only those houses which advertise judi
ciously prosper, ond only thoc pull
through the hard time.- successfully which
keop their names and ware constant!'
before the public eye. The experience of
every intelligent and educate I business
man is clear upion this point, and hence
the columns of a newspaper, especially
in what are called "dull t.mes," will yive
the roster of the busings r.wa of a pTace
who may be relied upon as intelligent,
prudent and enterprising. Only those
who understand the art of advertising
(and it is an art), know that the effective
mode is to keep the public constantly and
stendily apprised of what thoy have for

We owe Mrs. Dunniway an apology
for not sooner acknowledging receipt
of her most excllent book "David and
Anna Matson," which is very interest
ing, nicely printed, and besides its
usefulness, would be an ornament upon
any lady's table. "We copy from the
preparatory remarks to readers
"When Tennyson awoke the "Nine,
And bade them sing around the shrine
Ilebuikled in the sylvan bowers,
"Whence Helicon all grandly towers,
And sent them forth to chant a lay,
Whose plaintive strains shall live for aye,
Their echoes answering to the core
Of human hearts, a million score,
I little recked that I should dare
To climb the trackless realms of air,
Anil risk great Clio's classic ire,
Or, trembling, touch proud Erato's lyre.
Presumptuous dreamer, vain, am I,
To dare attempt rarnasus' heights,
My Pegasus untrained and shy,
My Muse unnerved to lofty nights ;
But there be hearts that choose to sing,
Albeit their lays are lowly ones,
That only to their authors bring
Compassion from Fame's favored sons,
I've penned my sad and simple song,
And to my Muse lend heart and ear,
Because I deprecate a wrung
That serves those whose hearts are dear
Rich unto each ; whose lives are one,
Though far apart their channels run.
If I but rouse the reader's heart,
To vibrate to Compassion's dart,
Or start a sypathetic tear,
Prom eyes w here Love hath banished Fear,
Or cast onn ray of light, serene.
Athwart one path where sorrows keen
So long o'er Hopes-deferred have brooded
That earthly joys are all corroded,
I care not who shall blame or praise.
Or who shall claim the wreath and bays.

Portland, Oregon, Nov. l, 1876.
In "The New Penelope," Mrs.
Frances Fuller Victor, always a favor
ite with Oregon readers, has presented
a very pretty and a very interesting
book. It is seldom that we are capti
vated by a story book, but Ave must
confess that last week Mrs. Victor
turned us out pf the customary groove,
and we have enjo3'ed several hours of
genuine delight in perusing the pages
of her new book. In order to give
readers a better understanding of
what this holiday present is made up,
we publish the table of contents entire,
with the xreaceJ as follows. Mrs.
Victor says:
"This collection consists of sketches
of Pacific coast life, most of which have
appeared from time to tim in the Over
kind Monthly and other western maga
zines. If they have a merit, it it. because
thev picture scenes and characters hav
ing'the charm of newness and original
itv, such as belong to border life.
"'The poems embraced in the collect
ion have been written at all period of
mv life, and therefore cannot be called
peculiarly western. But they embody
ieelings and emotions common to all
hearts, east or west ; and as such. I ded
icate them to mv friends on the Pacific
coast, but most especially in Oregon."

Two miners, J. H. Ritchie and W.
F. Zambro, while crossing one of the
California Water company's flumes on
the new South Fork ditch, two weeks
ago, saw an enormous bear in an angle
of the flume, walking on the foot board
and coming toward them. Zambro
had a two-barreled shot gun loaded
with buckshot, and two dog3 were be
hind them. A fight was inevitable.
The bear came on his hind legs toward
Kitchie, and when the man was almost
within the brute's hug Zambro fired
and knocked the animal off the flume,
Hitchie jumped off and, picking up a
piece of scantling, began to pound his
bearship on the head. A back blow
of the scantling brained one of the
dogs which had come to Ritchie's aid.
Then the bear, only slightly wounded,
gave Ritchie a rough and tumble fight,
although harras3ed by the remaining
dog. Meanwhile Zambro had man
aged to climb into a tree, carrying his
gun. He fired the remaining barrel,
missed the bear, narrowly missed
Ritchie, and killed the dog. Seeing
his critical situation, Ritchie got out
of the bear's embraces and by a des
perate efibrt pushed the animal over a
bluff forty feet high. The fall killed
the animal. When dressed it weighed
784 pounds. Through the right ear
was a bullet hole made by some hun
ter. Ritchie lost coat, vest, panta
loos, shirts, and mosic of his hair.

The people of Oresron are not burned up
four months in hummer and rrozen or
noured in six months in winter, nor mil
lions of property wept away in a night by
overwhelming floods and devastating hur
ricanes, as they frequently are in the
eastern and western states of the union.
They do not live in fear of being carried
to untimely graves in hundred by the
summer fevers that prevail in the South
ern states, nor of hemp overwhelmed by
earthquakes that visit California pvery
two or three yeurs, nor yet by it? floods
evory filth or tenth year, not dried up by
its drouth evory third or fourth year.
The summer diseases so destructive to
human life among children in the Atlantic
states are almost unknown in Oregon.
Oregon offers great attractions t. those
in .-earch of new homes, to-wit: Healthy
and attractive diversity of surface. Grand
-cenery and mild climate. No excessive
cold or heat. Average temperature, sum
mer, o7, winter 39. Thunder-storms
very rare, hurricanes- unknown. Death
rate lower in Oregon than In any other
State, east or we-t. Soil of unsurpassed
fertility, especially suited to cereals, fruits,
flax, hops, and hay. No failure of crop3
in Oregon for thirtj years from any cau.-e.
No droughts, as in California. Great
abundance of the finest fruit. Slock-raia-ing
very profitable. As a farming country
Oregon is not surpassed by any part of
the Union.
The love of life, the desire for health
and passion for wealth, are thn-e of the
strongest laws that operate in the breast
ol the human family. "Wherever life enn
be most prolonged, health best secured,
and wealth mnt easily acquiied, then the
tide of emigration and population is as
sure to flow as the nei-die points to tho
north pole. It is the erowinp knotr'.dcfft
; that all thic is true of Oregon that it? cau-
:iig it to attract co much puuuc attention
and draw -o many farmers, emigrant?,
tourist and capitalists to come and enjoy
and pro lit by them.
