Statistics. visitors who are con templating locating in Oregon would do well to consult our Book of Statistics.

Goxe to Yaquixa. The Corvallis Gazette of the 5th says: '-Dr. W. C. La Dow and family, of Astoria, came up last Tuesday, en route to Yaquina Bay. The Doctor will spend the winter at the Bay, if he likes the '-.situation.' He is a practical typo, and although he has been off the 'case' about 2.1 years he has not forgotten the '-boxes," as he practically demonstrated by giving us a lift, last Wednesday. He is a genial gentleman ;uul we should be pleased to have ldm locate in our county.' Ce:.ietei:y Wokk. Mr. Stewart has been awaided the contract to put a hand some stone coping and iron railing arotuui the hit in the cemetery where the remains of Mr. James Welch are deposi ted. The stone coping will be thirty inches in hight, surmounted with an iron .railing, and will be decidedly the hand somest work on the grounds. We are lad to hear of Mr. Stewart's success in these matters, and his presence among tus will be a benefit to all, as he takes gjceat pains to make his work attractive. Sudden Bereavement. On .Sunday last about 12 o'clock a lit tic son of Mr. Cody, of this city, was drowned by falling from a log in the boom at 1 1 time's mill. As soon as the alarm was given, citizens generally turned out to search for the body, which was found by Master .Joseph Fox. an employe of this office, alnuit half past two o'clock, i. M.

In which uods image shone so pure, so plain. I wondered by myself if ever pain ( )r lines of sorrow 1 "t hereon should 1 race, And from my heart a secret prayer then went: "O time, thy marks not on that forehead place:" My prayer was heard; alas, not as 1 meant. My silent prayer was heard, then why complain. For time or sorrow can thee reach no more, And pain is unknown on that happy shore.

Xai:i:ow K-capi:. The death of lit tle Georgie Cody from drowning on Sun day, calls to memory the narrow escape of a little son of Mr. C. L. Parker, one day last week, from a similar fate. The little fellow had fallen into the bay, but Master Lincoln Parker happened to be near at the moment, and saved the little fellow. Bets Aoaixst Time. We learn that our remarks in Sunday's issue as to the British ship Palawan making the trip home in 100 days led to quite a heavy wager between Captains Oliver, Mather son, and McLean, the former backing his noted cliyyer against either Candida or City of Xankin. in the sum of 1000. Capt Oliver is a son of Erin and bound for his native isle, carrying the htavy freight he does, he will have to crowd the Palawan to soc the cove of Coik be fore his competitor, the Canbida. ' - , . Attempted Bujujlak y. Last Satur day night an attempt was made to rob Messrs. Lieneweber & Co.'s warehouse at upper town, but the burglars did not succeed in carrying away anything, un less it was a stray bullet from the revol ver of the watchman, Mr. Lewis, who fired two shots at them before they left, and one after they had got into their boat. It will pay people well nowa days to keep a sharp lookout about their property, and be prepared to give noc turnal visitors a warm reception.

The foliage in the park, touched by the magic brush of the painter Autumn, is assuming most brilliant colers: the leaves with their pretty hues are lifted by the wind, go hurrying after each oilier in a merry chase ami at last fall ing to the ground, carpet it with a fabiie worthy of the Orient. -Eastern Ex-chmuje. Indeed, it is a beautiful sight it. Hie j i leaves wind that gaylv embraces the in its Hying grasp also raises the dust in huge clouds, and with one s eyes blin ded, the mouth and throat choked up, and the oars filled with gravel, the beauties of nature seem doubly beau tiful.

The summer's breath is faint upon the hills, Jlcr feet are weary in the vales and woods, And autumn with a tlrovy inccn-e tills The nooks and glades and leafy solitudes. Soft on the grassy bank the sunshine sleeps ; The air a wealth of misty radiance holds ; Nature with dreamy cye her vigil keeps, Ami all the scene in pensive beauty folds.

I A bill nnssnd linfli 1imi:r of flr fni riturial assembly on the 4th, changing ie tjme 0f the dirtriet court at Walla Walla, from the od Monday in October to the fourth Monday in November. Word w:is telegraphed to Walla Walla to prevent summoning of witnesses and jurors for this month, under the old law. Senator Morton is steadly im proving, and his family is much en couraged. Alexander EI. Stephens is at Augusta, Ga. He is in improved health. Gen. jS". B. Forrest is conva lescent. Solon Robinson is recovering from a dangerous illness in Browning ton, Conn. Mr. Delane of the Lon don Times has been so sick that he has had to abandon his office as editor, and seek health on the Mediterranean coast. George L. Fox is being eared for by his sister .it home in Cambridge, Mass. Brother Moody is ill through over work. The ex-Queen of Spain recently notified the Pope that she wished to make a pilgrimage to Home, but lie dreaded the political significance which might be attributed to the visit, and sent word that he thought that it would be inopportune. The ex-Queen however, seemed to have set her mind on the journey, and wrote direct to the Pope saying that she was on the way. The answer which reached her was couched in such peremptory, terms that she went to Yiena. She is to stay in Paris, during the winter. Several attempts have been made to cultivate chestnuts in Oregon, but many persons who tried and failed, relinquished the trial, saying the cli mate was not favorable to their growth. A successful refutation of these asser tions was shown the editor of the Standard, last week by Dr.Gleun,in the shape of an immense chestnut grown in his garden, on Second and Colum bia streets, and taken from a tree five years old grown from the seed. He will exhibit the nut at the state fair, and it will no doubt have a tendency to encourage the cultivation of these trees in the state. A war correspondent of the Lon don Daily News describes Biela, some time headquarters of the Russian army in Bulgaria, as a sink of unutterable abominations. ' 'There is not a drain in the place; dirt lies where it falls, dus' a dust made tip of a "thousand abominations, animal and vegetable, which fills throat, eyes, ears' clothes, clogs in the hair, make clammy the hands with mistiness, and makes a man loathe life and himself. The members of the Imperial suit were quartered all over the town; some in the cabins of the Bulgarians most, however, in the abandoned Turkish houses. The floors were of mud, or rather dust; there was no glass in the windows, and there was not a scrap of furniture of any kind. Poor Prince Galatzin lay on his little campbed, racked with the pain of acute fever, worn almost to a skeleton, lie, like three more of the generals, his brother adjutants to the Emperor, were poisoned by the malaria of Biela. The Emperor him self looked pale and wan, althcxt h the Romanoffs are a healthy and stalwart race. Gen. Ignatieff's voice was feeble and slow, the glow of color had left his cheeks, his eyes were heavy and dim, his hand burned with fever not yet exorcised. For three days and nights he had suffered terribly with what from his description appeared to have been acute gastric fever." The state is protected on the west by the coast range from the strong gales of the Pacific ocean, and on the ear-t from snow storms and cold winter.- by the Cas cade range, The trade wind? of the Pa cific, from the northwest, keep the sum mer months of Oregon sufficiently cool to impart vijror and energy to body and mind. The trade winds from the .-outh-wc?t in winter, and the warm current.- of the Pacific ocean are sufficient to keep th winter month- mild, comfortable and healthy; the one protect- from extreme heat, the other from extreme cold. And the magnificent s:ow peaks of Mount Hood, Mount Jeffer.-ou. and their companion-, stand a- faithful sentinel-, on the Cascade range, ready a soon a- the -un goes down, to coo! the labor aud toil. The coast, ca.-cade, and ether mountain ranges, the ocean bteezc,-, the ocean cur rent, and the mountain .-now pcnk. are worth all the doctors in the United Stnte to the people of Oregon, for lengthening life and securing health. They aru o mnny physicians that are in con.-tnnt nt tendaneeto guard and protect the health of the people. NEWS AND NOTES. Experiments in a mine in Corn wall, England, with the telephone, point to the probability of its being employed in conveying signals from deep mines to the surface. A London tailor has this sign in his windew: "No American orders taken without a deposit." Above a bar in Chicago may be read: f:No trust for allegded English noblemen." Mrs. Woodhull, Miss Claflin, and several Plymouth Church folks rode up together in the elevator of jthe Langham Hotel, London. Olive Lo gan, who chanced to see them, says they "looked daggers at eaeh other." A Polish association of Chicago has purchased an extensive tract of land in Arkansas for the purpose of there establishing a colony of their countrymen. Fifty Polish families from the vicinity of Chicago have al ready settled there, and two hundred more are expected before the close of this month. The Mayor of Liverpool has given to that city a $200,000 art gallery, and a service of plate worth 830,000 has been given to the Corporation of Man chester. Three years ago a citizen of Bristol left a splendid house to be used as the Mayor's residence, and soon af terward another man left an almost priceless collection of old British china to be placed in it. The Catholic newspapers of Que bec say that a miracle was Avrought in a church there. A woman who had been lame for years and had used crutches, was, immediately after par taking of communion, cured of her lameness, and enabled to return home without her crutches. It is also said that French, a Canadian, who fifteen years ago joined the Baptist church, was on witnessing this, reconverted to the Catholic faith. At Dartmouth Park, England, a boy three years of age was given an old wooden pipe by his father, with which to blow soap bubbles. The fa ther washed out the pipe before letting the child have it. After using it the boj- was taken ill, and three days later he died, his death, according to the medical evidence, being undoubt edly caused by the nicotine contained in the old pipe, which he had sucked while blowing the soap bubbles. No dividend has been paid for two years by the Hudson's Bay Com pany in consequence of depression in the market for furs and sealskins. This great commercial company finds its vast territory and its numerous s;ilaricd sen ants rendered almost useless by the commercial stagnation of the world. Furs are articles of luxury, and as such they are largely dispensed with in these hard times. The share holders get nothing on their capital, and as the regular servants employed in overseeing the company's territory receive a share of the profits as part of their payment, they are being se verely cramped by the absence of all dividends. New Boat. The Independent i.s informed that Jacob Kamm,President of the Vancouver Transportation Com pany, who has for some time been trav eling in the East for his health, has greatly improved and will shortly re turn home, bringing with him the machinery for a new boat. The new steamer is to be more commodious than the Vancouver, and will be built staunch and strong. She will be ready for the Portland and Vancouver route sometime next summer, Goy. Thompson's Ditch. A recent visior to. Gov. D. P. Thompson's big mining ditch on the Applegate, in Jackson county, reports the governor driving ahead with that and omitable energy which always characterizes his labors. Being a very successful orgai -izer, he has his little army of 400 men, representing nearly all tiie nationali ties, so disposed, along the line of the ditch, as to make them most effective. All the camps are supplied with black smith shops, and all the necessary appliances, there is a saw mill in near proximity to the ditch, capable of cutting 13,000 feet of lumber in a day. Already many miles of the ditch have been completed, and Gov Thompson confidently expects to finish the entire work early this month. Eighteen thousand persons emigrattd in 1S76 from the Eastern nnd Western State to Oregon, 4 k
