It says: A country town without water works is the most unhealthy place in the whole wide world—deliver me from a permanent life therein, if yon please. When a new comer—and all old ones did the same thing—co nes to town lie usually digs two holes o’i liis lot*, after erecting his dwelling bouse, or before, a* tlie vase may be. Into one of these hole* goes all of the Wth.aml out of the other come* all the water for the family use. These holes are ro near together that the contents must meet, so that w hat goes into one conies out of the oth er. In the city <4 Baltimore, about thir ty year* ago, there stood a tavern or sa loon; about fifteen feet away stood a public pump. One night all tin- whisky in a barrel lying in the cellar of the sa loon leaked out, and for nearly a «.-■•!. afterward the patronage of tire sal >on hardly amounted to anything, the r ply of "a little whi l.v an 1 water,” in Btnall (loses, being drawn from tii" pump?

Dining the month it is esti mated that 80,009 people have inspected the car and the exhibit*. One Sunday ai Madison, Wisconsin, a great crowd con gregated outside the car and finally per suaded Mr. Buick to open the doors and Jet the throng satisfy their curiosity.— The car was at the New York state fair at Utica yesterday and will be there again to-day From there the car goes to Susquehanna and Scranton, Pennsyl vania, mid lliiigh imp.lon New York.

"Will Mr. Snyder please inform us what paper Ims dropped 229 per cent, below its former price, on legal adver tising. and what was their former price?”—Register.

The Register, in its bid for publishing the delinquent tax list, has made mi oiler of 30 con'* per square ; it* charge* hereto fore have been (2.50 and $2.75 per square for sheriff’s notices. Is this not a true statement, boys ? I* this not dropping 220 per cent., or more? If it is not true, then we have been wron .-fully informed from headquarters, and wo beg pardon.

It will be remembered that in 1882, Hon. R. P. Earhait, secretary of Htate, made an offer to tho citv of Salem, to improve Wilson avenue, provided the city wonid vacate that part of Summer street between Court and State streets, mid would turn the entire park am! that Carries the Largest and Best Stock portion of the street, vacated, into one in Yamhill County. enclosure for state house grounds. At that time, Mr. Roekcnfield, hail, as now a store at the green house, and lie stren- ouslv objected to the closing of ttie street, a* he feared injury to his busi ness. It also transpired that some “kicker” found out that if the city tried to deed Wilson avenue to the state, even if tlie pa: pose* for which it was to Ire used were the Samoa- sit forth in the will of the late Mr. Wilson, that tlie en tire propeity would revert to the heirs. It perhaps, at that time, never oei ui red to tlie council, nor tlie aforesaid “kick er,” that the city might yet hold the deed, ami at the same time ordain that Third Street Bet. D and E. tlie ground* ba enclosed in the state- house enclosure, and be considered a part of tlie state house ground, Of course any attempt to use tho property (or anything other than a public park, would cause it* immediate reversion to tlie heirs. Now, tho incoming ndminitrliafion will ire authorized to fit up, am! improve tiie grounds surrounding the capitol, without a doubt. Their present un sightliness will prompt every member of tii > assembly to favor this movement. And now is tho time-for tlie city council —Executed atine— ami Salem’s “private citizens” to begin to think over the matter of tlie ador n ment of the parks. A wall or hedge should b ■ placed around the park, ami some fountains erected therein. Drive* and walks should be laid out, anil Ulis woi k will be done on tho capitol ground. There will bo a driveway under the “tep* at tlie capitol, ami if this is done it might be just as well for the city to abandon that part of Summer street be tween tlie capitol und Wilson avenue.
