IMPROVEMENTS TO GO TO OREGoS.-Mr.
Thurston, the delegate in Congress, from
Oregon, has published circular 81 owing
the extraordinary inducements for ennis
grants TO go to Oregon. The legislature
at its last session. took measures to SCI
cure the quiet of the Indians by purcha-
sing their lands and providing for the 'e-
moval of the tribes. A bill has also
passed, giving to all men over eighteen
years of age, arriving and settling in Or
egon, previous to December. 1850, 500
acres Of land, if single, if married. $40.
The bill then provides that if those sim
gle men marry in one year from the first
of Dec. they shall receive GAO acres.
White males over twenty one emigraing
to that country, and settling there be-
tween the first day of December, 1850,
and the first day of December, 1858,
shall receive $50 acres of land, if single
man, and if married, then 800 acres.
But there is also provision here that if
single men marry in one year after arri-
wing in the territory, they receive 500
acres. All male minors who 60 TO the
country and settle and become twenty
one before December, 1853, will receive
100 acres of land, absolutely, and if they
marry in one year after arriving at ma
iority they will receive $50. All for
eigners, by filing their intentions of be-
coming American citizens, are treated like
native born American citizens, and they
are only required to complete their natu-
| ralzation before they get final title.
| In the opinion of Mr.. Thurston, Oregon
is the country above all others for ennis
grants.

the Directors, we paid visit to the works
Of the Litchfield Manufacturing Com

We acknowledge ourselves most agree

variety of the Company's operations, and
the superior elegance of the workman.
ship in some departments Of manufac>
ture. The principal building is eighty
feet long by fifty broad, three stories high
another is fifty by forty--besidess TWO
or three smaller ones. The most unique
and perhaps the most extensive branch
of business carried on at this establish~
ment, is the Papier Mache-which is
manufactured into clock cases, chairs,
stands, book covers, card cases, picture
frames. Dagarreotype cases, DC, all of
which are most beautifully ornamented
with pearl work and paintings by &C
complished artists. We have never seen
any articles of the kind which exceeded
them in point Of elegance and taste. The
several rooms occupied by this depart.
ment are under the superintendent of
artists from Northampton and York
shire, in England. Not less than $1,000
worth Of the PAPER Mache alone is turn.
ed out weekly.
Various kinds of brass nails and plated
ornaments for trunks, harnesses, &c. are
made here in great abundance. The com.
mon Daguerreotype cases are also man
ufactured at this establishment, including
the plating and gliding, and even to the
cutting out of the hooks and eyes with
which the cases are fastened. Still ans
other article of the Company's make, is,
various kinds Of book-clasps ordered by
the American Bible Society.
These different branches of business
furnish employment for about seventy
persons. A supervision of the works
is exercised by Messrs. Morris and Perry,
wao are stockh olders and Directors of
the Company, and were among its most
efic lent projectors. DR.. J. G. Beckwith
is President of the corporation. We
understand that the capital stock of the
concern has recently been increased to
100000, and that its business will be
greatly enlarged in the Spring.
We are gratifed at this evidence Of
enterprise on the part of our capitalists
or at least portion of them. There is
no reason why Litch6eld should not be a
thrifty town, instead of being the laggard
she has been. Her idle wealth, instead
ofyielding six per cent, might. if turned
into an enterprizing channel, bring the
owner four fold interest, and be source
of livelihood TO hundreds Of the laboring
class.

AERIAL NAv1GATIoN.--We have be-
fore mentioned the memorial of John
Wise, of Lancaster, Pa, asking for Con-
gress:onal aid to enable. him to demon
strate the practical operations of theo-
ny which he has devised for tie navigation
of the air. In that memorial which has
since come to hand. the petitioner states
that he has demonstrated to his own sat-
isfaction, and is prepared TO demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the world, his power
to make this science useful and practical
BILE for the transmission Of. mails and the
transportation of passengers, and espe~
cially in the art of war as we'll as in
peace. He also states that he is pre-
pared now to construct balloon 100
feet in diameter, which shall have tie
power of elevating l6 tons; that he is
prepared to elevate that balloon over the
Capitol, or Presidents House, or Navy
Yard, or any other point which may be
designated, above the reach of gun shot,
and then to discharge imitation missiles
of destructive quality which would
show his capacity to destroy any fleet,
fort. or army which may be beneath it.
He also proposes, when he shall have
done that, to take that balloon to the city
Of ST.. Louis, and make voyage from
thence to the city of New York. At
New York he proposed to take in six
other passengers and a life boat, and
proceed to England, where he will rep port
TO the British Government. He express
es entire confidence in his ability to 90
this with perfect safety and desires the
opportunity of testing this, and OF salts
flying the world Of the truth Of his theory.
He says that he can make these expe,i-
ments from ST. Louis to New York and
from New York to Europe for the sum
of $50 ,o0O.-BoSton Journal
