The Portland steamer day before
yesterday turned back from the mouth
of the Wallamet, and came down
through the slough.
The Ordway was at Kalama
waiting for the steamship Geo. "W.
Elder op. the 30th, when the Port
land boat passed down.
Rev. Mr. Parker, Rector of Grace
(Episcopal) church, is absent from the
city for a few days only. He expects
to return for services at the church as
usual on Friday evening.
Day before yesterday navigation
suspended between Portland, and the
Cascades. The Emma Hayward
backed out, and went home again,
from the mouth of the Wallamet.
Mr. Thomes of the Cannery of
Leveridgc & Prindle, Bay View,
intended to spend New Years at
the Dalles, but luckily he altered
his mind, and is now at Astoria.
The revenue cutter Thomas Cor
win arrived from the interior last
night. She reported the Elder in
Portland. The Great Republic was
below St. Helens. The mail boat came
through, making most of her land
ings. SuuDort home institutions. This
has always been our motto. Let us
all encourage it if we would succeed.

As an aid to show what may be pro

persons living along the line will send

Murdered for His Money.
Some time ago a San Francisco pa
per contained an account of the body
of a man having been picked up in
that vicinity somewhere upon whose
person was a letter addressed to John
Burke. We gave the item nothing
more than a passing glance, and now
the conclusion is forced upon us that
John Burke of Clatsop plains has been
murdered for his money. He left here
some time in September to go east and
bring out a daughter from Washington
city He had a check for $300 and a
considerable sum in coin besides. The
check was drawn by I. W. Case, and
was paid in San Francisco on presen
tion. The coin was sewed up in his
garments. He has never reached
Washington, and a dispatch from his
daughter this week confirms the sus
picion. He owned a place near
Skipanon, and was a highly respected
citizen.

sional labor is in abundance in this state.
We can spare a whole army of clerks,
salesmen and Micawbers who are starv
ing because they are not fitted, or will
not labor in the field that offers them, a
living, Now is the time to invest in
lands and to settle on them. Eallroads
are opening all over the state, and there
is a fair showing of an increase in the
value of land, no matter where located.
Farmers are what we want, and not
more tradesmen ; agriculturists, not ad
ditional professors; tillers of the soil,
and not an increased army of clerks.
The country is healthy, both morally
and physically, and there is value in
land that is not affected by the rise and
fall of stocks.
S-A contemporary says : A news
paper and a newspaper editor that peo
ple don't talk about and sometimes
abuse are rather poor concerns. The
men and business that an editor some
times feels it a duty to defend at a risk
of making enemies of another class, are
often the very first to show ingratitude.
The editor who expects to receive much
charity orgratitude will soon find out
his nitstake; but he should go ahead
and sav and do what hp prmspipnt innd,.
j thinks right witliput regard to frowns or
smiles.
