led the population Of Oregon to upwards OF
two thousand, and they had formed govern,

a record of land titles. . Farms," he says,
/" freckle the magnificent plains; towns are
springng up at convenient points on the NV
ers a dozen excellent mills supply lumber Tor
home use and export; fisheries are not negIec-
ted, and the lands are not neglected. and the
lands are surveyed. A college, numerous
schools and several churches are scattering
education among the young. Money has been
sent 10 New York for printing press and
steam engine. Cattle and stock Of all kinds
are accumulaiing and rapidly increasing under
mild climate and unfaling pastures. Pro-
visions OF all kind are abundant. Of the most

an advanced party of thirty of whom, witt
their wagons and cattle, passed on the l7th
two days later than the emigration of the pre-

subsequently, and all in good time to react
the settlements before the setting in of the
winter.

BUcKwHEAr CAKEs-As this is the season
for Buckwheat Cakes, the following recipe
will at this time be valuable to those who are
fond of them. Ii is said by those who have
tried the experiment, that it makes decidedly
better cakes, with half the trouble necessary
in the usual mode of raising them with yeast.
To three pints of buckwheat -four mixed into
batter. and one tea.spoonful Of carbonate OF
soda, dissolved in like manEer-frst apply
the carbonate, stir the batter we'll, and then
put in the ascid--thus the use of yeast is en-
iirely superseded, and cakes as light as feath-
er are ensured. One great advantage is tha.
The batter is ready for cooking as soon as i, is
made.

GREAT SNOW SToRal.-Accoun,s from the
western part of the State Of New York, repre-
sent that a snow storm, lasting thrty-six hours
had occurred there last week, and that the
STOW was over two feet deep, The Buffalo
Gazette Of Wednesday says, on The Lakes, it
has been fearful time to any craft which may
have been exposed. In addition to the chill
ling effects Of the cold upon the energies of
those engaged 10 navigating them, the thick
ness of the air, filled with the falling and drift
ing snow, renders them incapable of seeing al.
any distance, and consequently liable to run
foul of other vessels, or ashore, exposing them
10 nnumerable imminent dangers. And from
the strength of the northeast wind, which pre-
vailed here during Monday, heavy gale must
have been experienced a! the upper end of the
lake. We wal, with anxiety from that quar-
ter. There have been no arrivals since Mon
day morning. -Phila. Ledger.

REMARKABLE RccK.-One of the most re-
markab!e rocks of which we have any knowl-
edge, has been lately discovered in the mid
die Of that great inland sea, Lake Super lor.-
by gentleman who has recently returned to
this city from Copper Harbor, we learn that
shaft of Trappe rock has been very lately dis
covered, rising in the Lake from ID to 20
miles from land, and ascending above the sur
face of the water, distance Of not above four
feet. What renders it more extraordinary, ls,
that i, stands alone, and all around, so tar as
examinations have been made, no bottom has
been reached by any of the lead lines used on
the Lake, and the point of the rock itself does
not exceed an area of more than SIX OF seven
feet square, and so far as observations Of II
have extended, it does not appear to enlarge
in size as it descends. 1t has already, he
stated, become a source Of alarm to the mari
ners who navigate the lake, who take special
care IL passing, to give it as wide birth as
possibl.. 1t is too small--too remote and
dangerous 10 adult Of a light, and therefore,
its removal has become matter OF serious
importance, and will doubtless pertain to the
duty of government. A single blast from
bore of sufficient depth would probably do II,
but the summit Of the rock being so near the
surface of the water, and the space so narrow
as TO forbid any regular Judgment for work
men, they would have to be attended constant
ly by vessel of sufficient size TO resist any
sudden storm of the lake, and wonld also have
10 be kept constantly under way, as no harbor
or even bottom. for an anchor, is within days
sail. 1#
The DISCOVERIES relate that the rock appears
TO be place of general resort for salmon trout
Of those lakes, as they found them there in al
most incalculable numbers, having, during
their short stay, caught several barrels with
rod Of iron, on one end Of which they turned
hook. They tried with their lines on board,
for soundings Immediately around the rock,
but without success. Such vast column,
could it be exposed to view, would laugh in
to ridicule Ceopa,ra's needle, Pompey's Pill
lar, the Colossus Of Rhodes, or any other pro-
duclion ofancent or modern art.--Pitts. Amer.
JOHN A. MuRRELL.-This noted land pirate
discharged from his ten years, servitude in the
Penitentiary, has not gone to Arkansas, but is
at present residing on the Cumberland noun
tain, Bledsoe county, Tennessee, about Is
miles from McMinnvile, at the house of a
NAH named Golf, also recently discharged from
the penlyenliary for passing counterfeit money.
