ing judicial history of The State, with BIZ
ographical notices of the principal judges

Newspaper DeJts.-The conduct OF
some men-now-a nd-then one-who call
themselves honorable, in regard to debts OF
that description, is Infamous. Means are
sometimes resorted to for evadlng their
poyment which are shameful. When a
man after regularly receiving the paper
for years, pleads that he only intended t"
take it for one year, and will not pay tor
longer time, and when another ava'ls him
self of the Statute" Of limitations, or the
exemption law" in bar OF just claim
we feel disposed to gazette these bankrupts
in integrity and expose them to the scorn
Of honest people There is no mon
ey more hardly earned than by the
publication of country newspaper we
sneak from the sad experience of many,
many years)-and it is a shame for any
man, who is able, to hesitate to discharge
his account when called upon.

The American Board of Foreign Ms
sions held its anniversary in New York,
May Q. The receipts Of the financial year
ending April 80, were Sls5 900, exceed
ing those of the corresponding period last
year $4,000, and falling short ofthe ap,
preparations for the same term $4,000.
If the average monthly receipts for the re-
naming quarter are $4,000, the board
will be free from debt at its close July 81.
Under the care OF the board are &c mis-
sions and 95 stations, besides numerous
out stations; 500 missionary aborers, sup
ported by its funds, besides numerous ma
tive assistants, supported by the people, 81
printing presses, at which nearly 50,OOo,-
900 of pages were printed last year, in 80
languages, exclusive of the English; GAO
free schools, containing 80, 900 pupils; "A
boarding!Schoos and sem;naries, with l5OO
PUPILS; and GO churches Of converted hea-
then, containing 10000 members.
In closing address Rev. DR. Beecher
could give but one answer for the mourn
fil suspension Of divine influence, and that
The church had raltered in the work of for
eign missions. He continued
"For want of unwaverlng trust in God,
she had, in troublous times, withheld from
his service the gold and the silver which
were clearly his, and had ungratefully
left the missions, planted by his provi-
dence and watered by his heavenly grace,
and demanding continual care and sacrl-
6ce-had left some of them, at least, to
deep reproach, and seemingly impending
ruin! The Saviour has thus been wound
ed; the Holy Spirit grievcd. And now, at
parting, he would say, as thought to be
remembered take care Of foreign missions,
and God will take care of you and yours.
Never again falter, Take core of foreign
missions, and God VIII revive his work,
and will give his spirit till nations shall
be born in day"

from whom we derive title, not only dis
covered but possessed the country as far
as Nootka Sound (North Latitude 49,
and our treaty with Russia fixes the north
crn boundary at 81 40 N. latitude. Our
southern boundary with Spain and next
with Mexico, is AZ deg. N. lat. The mouth
of the Columbia is about 46 deg. N. lat
BY discovery, by actual possession in
1911, in advance of any English settle
men,s, and by purchases from Spain and
France, we became the proprietors of the
Territory. A, the close of the Revolu-
tionary war England did not pretend to
have any claim to Oregon, and as late as
1896, she offered to extend the eastern
Rocky Mountain boundary fixed at the
close of the war (49 deg, N, Lat. to the
Pacific, asking at the same time a trans

The proposition, which has been again re-
newed, we have reason to believe, by the
Minister now at Washington. The Lon
don Times says that "The tone of MI
Folks address does not lead US to suppose
that he would even adhere to the ultima
tum extending the boundary along a!

from its outh, it would exclude us iron
the northern half OF the Columbia River

replied that he would first tell a story land
then if they persisted in their demand he
would endeavor to execute song. When
boy he said he took lessons in singing,
and one Sunday morning he went up into
his fat er's garnet to practice alone by
himself While in full cry, he was sud-
denly sent for by the old gentleman.
"This is pretty conduct, said the faith
err "pretty employment for the son OF pi-

Boiling atocs.-Here is an Irish
method, one of the best we know, says an
exchange paper. Clean, wash the pota-
toes and leave the skin on, then bring the
water to boil and throw them In. AS
soon as boiled soft enough for fork to
easily thrust through them, dash some
cold water into the pot, let the po-
tatoes remain two minutes, and then
pour off the water, This done, half re-
move the pot lid, and let the potatoes re-
main over slow till the steam is evapor-
ated, then peal and set them on the table
in an open dish. Potatoes of good kind
thus cooked, will always be sweet, dry
and mealy, A covered dish is bad for
potatoes, as it keeps the steam in, and
makes them soft and watery.
