Alice k's Porous Plasters are undoubt­ edly the I test external remedy manufac- lured. I make his ass« rtion to the public from my own personal experience of their wonderful virtues. Suffering from severe pains tn my side and cheat, contracted through a -ever« cold, 1 applied a couple of Allcock'» Porous Plasters upon going to bed at night. The result was, that in eight hours after applying them I could get up ami walkabout with very little pain or ache, when the nixht previous 1 could neither get up no, down without he p, nor stoop to remove my who. s. I have since used them in my tamily tor various ail­ ments, and have never known them to (ail to give almost immediate relief. T. H. B ack r a. About Oregon Apple«. ers’ Association recently held their first annual meeting in Portland. Following is an extract from President Cardwell’s address: In 1847 a few hundred one-year-old grafts, planted in boxes, were hauled acmss the plains by II. Luelling from Towa. A bushel or more of apple seeds furnished stock for grafting, and a nursery was started in 1849 near Milwaukie, Clackamas county. In 18.12 .Mr. Luelling went back ami brought out a large variety of all fruits across the isthmus of Panama, carried across by Indians and mules. In the same year a nursery was started near Salem. In the fall of 1853 a few bushels of apples were shipped to San Francisco; in 1854, about 500 bushels, at fl 50 to 12 per pound. In 1855 over 6,000 bushels were shiped, at about $30 per bushel, for which $ 10 to $ 16 was paid in the orchards. In 1856 we paid $5 per bushel and sold for $20 or $30 ]>er bushel. In the winter of this year (1856) one bushel box of Ksopiis Spif- zenberg was sold in San Francisco for «60, clear of all expeno, anil about the same time three boxes of Wine­ sap were sold in Portland for «102. This year |s?rhaps 80,0)0 boxes w-re ■hipped, all by steamer. From this time on the shipments were heavy, often 3 000 to 6,000 bu«h- els per steame*, and prices declined accordingly, until in 1861 the market broke badly, California Having gath­ ered her first heavy crop, from mil­ lions of trees planted out, instigated by the high prices that prevail»<1. The sixty-acre orchard of Luelling A- Meek, which cleared «30,(XX) in 1860, only netted «5000 in 1861. From that time varieties shipped contracted from year to year, California furnish ing all the early fruits, but still buy­ ing the latter or winter apples, »» they keep much better here ; but the varie ties have contracted to five or six. The following are still snip|*ed: Yel­ low Newtown Pippin, Winetap, Mon-1 ■south Pippin, Gen* t, Red Rwmanite.

Prominent among those diseases which refuse to be cured unless the patient doctors himself, is the common malady known as "the blues.” Mr. Hornaday, the American naturalist, met. while steaming down the Red Bea, an English lady, who diagnosed his "bines” so cleverly and prescribed for them so skillfully that he has never suffered from another attack. He »lutes both for the benefit of fellow- \ ■nfferers: Diagnosis: ‘-The blues” are caused by envy and selfishness. Remedy: When attacked, go to work vigorously to promote the happiness of those around you. anul«a dnnrM M k - j »'« hhmii Ì« a I th«» onHtMbry Idiid*. bi tl twiitul b* **Ur ( baiarla, When she b«*-aiti« Miaa. she clung U> (’aalurla. ¡111 Kept in stock by P>r ti« «» 4• 4Mr» RUPTURE PAMMANANTLY CURED. *H1 uaj you, far« from «iiy pari of l lillmt Slate» to Portland and hotel expon«« while her» If wu tin not prisluvo liiill.uulalile evidence risiili «»Hkiiuwi, bauk.ua dcstura tenieiv, luorchanis aiKl taruivrs as to uur re liability in thv vine ut rxluvoalde rupture ur hernia w lllioul knife, imodlo or aliarli Inilru mam.
