Caleb Cushing is reported quite ill and failing very rapidly to-night. For twenty-fours his stomach has refused all nourishment. His friends say chances of recovery are hopeless. "Buffalo, Jan. 2. The wind is blowing a perfect gale, with a light foil of snow to-day. It has drifted badly and trains on the New York and Philadelphia railroad are again stuck at Ebenezer, and on the Buffalo and Southeartern at Eleno. The passen gers are taking refuge from intense cold in farm houses in the vicinity. Trains are also reported abandoned on the Lake-shore road east of Cleve land. Washington, Jan. 3.

Special arrange ments sufficient to meet any demand, have been made by the subtreasnry to pay out gold for legal tender notes, and the clerks in charge of the de partment are expected to be very busy and will work very late to close up the days business. What wk Like. To hear a man try to borrow his neighbors paper. And the neighbor have courage enough to reply : 'twould as soon lone you my tooth brush:' to have a party imagine that! he can do as much business without ad vertihing as he can with it; to look at the blank astonishment that settles down on that man's face when, after trying a month, he finds th.it it cannot be done ; to see a man refuse to take his local paper and all the time sponge on his neighbor for the use of his: lo hear a man comnlain when wc ask him to sub scribe for his home paper, that he takes more papers now than he can read, and then go around and borrow his neigh bor's or loaf about him until he gets the news from it; to see a man run down his home paper as not worth taking, and every now and then beg the editor for a favor in the editorial line; to see a mail refust-to advertise in a home paper, and then try and get a share of trade that the paper is instrumental in bring ing to his door; to see a man who is able to pay for his local paper, always man age to be around in time to read it at the expense of a friend not worth the tenth part of what he himself is, it looks so economical, thrifty, and progressive, you know.

A GOLD MINE DISCOVERED 1Y THE STREETS OF A CITY. DESTRUCTIVE STORM AT SAN TA BARBARA. OSE LIFE LOST, AND PROPERTY BADLY DAMAGED. EXPLOSION IN A NEVADA MINE ONE MAN INSTANTLY KILLED, AND ANOTHER DEAD FROM INJURIES RECEIVED. San Francisco, Jan. 3. The colored residents of Oakland on the 1st, celebrated the anniversary of the Emancipation proclamation, by an imposing procession and literary ex cercises. The Sacramento colored Zouaves participated in the celebra tion. The operations of the San Francisco clearing house last year were $141, 318,000 gold, $10,370,000 silver. Records of the police court show that of the Chinese arrested for various offences during 11 months ending Dec. 31, 1878, fines were paid amounting m the aggregate to $21,540. Rain has fallen lightly at intervals during the day. The prospect is good for more. The condition of Mrs. Emma Cros by, who was shot hx her husband on Howard street, Monday night, is im proved. The ball, which entered her head, has not been extracted. Hopes are entertained of her recovery. Los Angles, Jan. 3. Discovery of a placer gold mine made this morning on Olvera street in this city causes excitement. Some experiments yield ed about twenty-five cents of gulch gold per pan. A claim has been lo cated, and application will be made to the city council to-morrow for the privilege of mining in the streets. Santa Barbara, Jan. 3. About 9 o'clock last night a tornado occupying a narrow path, struck this city from the southeast and carried destruction along its course, taking in several blocks. Houses, fences, barns and other buildings were blown down or unroofed. Trees were uprooted and their limbs twisted off like pipe stems. Chimneys were tumbled over and one life lost. Willie Goss, son of Ir W. F. M. Goss, was instantly killed by a falling chimney in his fathers house. The house was unroofed at the same time. The most serious damages to property was that sustained by Stearns wharf, about ninety feet of which was carried away by the lumber schooner Alice going through it during the night. Virginia, Jan. 3. About 10 o'clock this morning Win. M. Solomon, a na tive of New Jerse3T, aged 25 years, was instantly killed by the explosion of giant xowder, in the tunnel of the Occidental. Wr. Sewell, a native of Canada, aged 32 years, was so badly injured that he died soon after. jS-o quack medicine advertisers of any kind, nor quack doctors, need ap ply for space in the columns of The Astorian, as it will not be granted to them. We do not want money bad enough to tempt us to aid unscrupulous adventurers in fleecing the unfortunate man or woman who is broken down in health, and that, too vi?ry often by the use of nostrums which are pulled up by the newspaDers. Shipping Intelligence. Special Dlspatckes to The Dally AstorlaB AKRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL STEAMER. STEAMSHIP IDAHO ARRIVED ON WEDNESDAY. San Francisco, Jan. 3. The steam er Australia, from Sydney via Hono lulu, has arrived bringing the British mails. The steamship Idaho, ninety hours from Portland, arrived on the 1st. Frozen Rivers of the Post. Capt. B. Grounds, one of the oldest navigators on the lower rivers, has given us some data as to the times the rivers have been closed by ice in the early days: Seventeen years ago, on the 22d, day of December, 1861, the big storm of 1861-2 began simultaneously at Walla Walla and Portland. In the winter of 1846-7 the Colum bia closed on the 14th day of January, and persons crossed on the ice for a month. In the winter of 1848-9 the river closed January 4th, and opened Feb ruary 28th. At one time 300 persons were camped on Sauvies island, wait ing for conveyance to California. In the winter of 1851-2 ihe Wal lamet closed on Christmas day. In the Winter of 1856-7 he was at work on the construction of the Has saloe. The river closed January 8th, for five weeks. We shall be pleased to get data of this kind from persons posted, for publication The flouring mill at Weston is running. When we were there last March the brush had not been cleared off the site. Bro. Turner says that when the mill was completed and ready to be started, not a nail or screw had to be drawn; everything had been put in its proper place and not a mistake made in the workman ship. They are grinding at present about CO bushels per hour, which re quires only about one and one half cords of wood for every twelve hours run. The engine is a forty horse power, one hundred revolutions to the minute, and was manufactured at the Portland iron works by Smith Brothers. juGoods speak for themselves," but it is only after they are bought that they can do so. An object in advertis ing is to induce people to buy them and test them. If goods speak for them selves, a good advertisement may also speak for the goods. , jS"We desire it to be distinctly understood that those who send us mF vertisements from abroad, must send the cash with the advertisements, if they would have them appear. We have numbers of advertisements sent us from strangers saying, -Please insert and send bill." This we cannot do ; the cash must accomp any thecopy and the order KThero is a qniet courtesy and modest unobtrusiveness about a wise, advertisement that create a certain res ponsive feeling of sympathy in the reader. We all like to be solicited, and it is natural to suppose that he who most politel', clearly and persistently solicits us, stands the better chance for our trade. The familiar advertisements of local papers often cover these points with great tact and ingenuity y- "1 am doing a good enough business without advertising." No doubt you are doing well enough for your pres ent needs, but do you forget the panics, the exciting elections, the times- of war or pestilence, or any of those manv causes which create dull terms of busi ness ? These must be calculated for and discounted if you would bridge them over. One must make more than he needs, to make a fortune, and advertis ing is a powerful auxiliary in money making. i22KThe free lands of the west are being taken up and settled this year to a degree most gratifying, in the face of the over-crowded mechanical depart ments of metropolitan life. Several mil lions more. acres of homesteads have been entered for settlement at the var ious land offices this year than in 18TG and 1877, and still the western movement continues in force. And this is the only solution of the labor troubles. Let the unemployed come and becomeproducers instead of consumers.
