Oregon.

Upon arriving in Oregon, by wa.
ter, the first land on which the trav.
eler places his feet is at Astoria, sit
uated about IL miles from ;he'mouth
OF the Columbia, on the south bank
OF the river. Previous to nv arrival
there, | had many accounts Of this
place, and expected to see quite a
city, but was much disappointed
when our ship rounded to in quite a
small bay, and my attention was
called by the Captain to a little COL
lection OF some dozen houses, located
on the side Of a steep forming the
bank OF the river, and told by him,
"that is Astoria!' Something more
than year has passed away since
that time, however, and the town has
improved rapidly. Quite flourish
ing trade is now carried on there,
and it is in fact a place Of more i'm
portance and business than its first
appearance would denote. The Co.
lumbia here, is from four to eight
miles in width, and the water pure
and cool. Travelling up the river a.
bout ninety miles, we come TO the
mouth Of the Willamette; progressing
up which stream a distance OF about
twenty miles, we arrive at Portland,
situated on the southwest bank OF the
river, and at present the head Of ship
navigation on this stream. II con-
tains a population OF about 1000 -
A lively trade with the interior is car
rIed on from this point, and many
Improvements Of suitable character
are already made, and more in pro.
gress. There is now in operation at
this place, two steam saw mills, and
one steam Touring mill. Progress. |
sing up the river about four miles, the |
next we find is Milwaukee, on the |
left bank OF the river with a popula-
ton Of some three or four hundred, |
and supported by its lumber trade
II has a very good water power, and
makes and exports a large quantity
of lumber annually. Six miles fur
ther up the river we come to the
Falls Of the Willamette, where Ore
gon City is situated, between two
very high banks Of the river. 1t con-
tains a population OF 1000, or per-
haps, 1000. Its water power is, per-
haps, unsurpassed by any other in
the world, and il can be used on both
sides of the river. This place is prob |
ably better known abroad than any
other Of our young cities, owing TO
the fact that it has hitherto been the
place at which the Legislature was
to hold its sessions. Its
advantages must eventually make it
a town o. great manufacturing i'm
portance, and when the resources of
the country are developed, it will &C.
cupy the first position among the
towns Of this country.
There are at present two Touring
mills, and several saw mills in opera
lion, and more in contemplation.

MY Mothers Bible.
BY G. P. MORRIS.

DL
This book is all that's left me now,
Tears will unbidden start
With faltering lip and throbbing brow,
| press it TO my heart.
For many generations past,
Here is our family tree;
My mothers hands this bible clasped-
She, dying gave it me.
Ali well do / remember those
Whose names these records bear;
Who round the hearth-stone used tc
close,
After the evening prayer,
And speak of what these pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill;
Though they are with the silent dead,
Here they are living still
Nv father read this holy book
To sisters, brothers dear,
How calm was my poor mothers look,
Who learned Gods word to hear.
Her angel face-I see it yeti
What thrilling memories comel
Again that little group is met
Within the walls of home!
Thou truest friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy I've tried,
Where all were false | found thee true,
My counsellor and guide;
The mines of earth no treasures give,
That could this volume buy,
In teaching me the way to live,
1t taught me how to die!

MYSTERY ExPLAINED.--Muchc curios-
iiy has been excited in some ofthe East.
en States, by the appearance of tracks
in the snow unlike those OF any known
creature. An ornithologist, writing to
the Providence Herald, says that. du-
ring this remarkably cold winter, unu-
sual numbers of birds, whose home is
in the north, have been driven southwark
into more hospitable regions. Amongst
the larges: of these occasional visitors
are the cinereous, or great gray owl (the
largest of the kind in this country } and
the snowy owl. The former is very
rarely seen; though il has been, in few
instances, as far south as Massachusetts.
The footprints Of the latter, which are
less frequently met with, correspond with
the mysterious tracks referred to. and it
is thought that flock ofthem may have
passed through Massachusetts and across
Rhode Island in November. and may
have returned in February, according to
their usual period of migration to and
from the South

AQueer senntor.

The Louisville Journal thus speaks Of
John B. Weller, the newly elected SEN
ator in Congress, from California.
"We deeply regret the election of
John B. Weller, formerly OF Ohio, TO the
Senate of the United States, from Cali
fornia. He is not such a man as ought
to be elected to that body. He is a
drunkard and a rowdy. Some two
months ago. in a drunken brawI in Cal
ifornia, he was shot by some one with
whom he got into difficulty. His char
acter was not good, and no man ofa sus-
picious character is fit to sit in the Sem
ate Of the United States. He Is not fit to
associate with gentlemen of any refine
ment offeeling. To be sure there are
others in the Senate not much better
than Weller, but the fact that a few in
temperate and rude men are in that body.
affords no good reason why IT should be
still further disgraced.7

FALL OF SPIRIT RAPPERs.-The
following bit of plain talk we find in
the N. 7. Courier and Enquirer.
"In Little York. Ohio, fifty-two
fools, male, female, and juvenile,
were lately gathered together, to
consult the Spirits. All passed of
satisfactorily, till the gaping crowd
asked the ghost of an old man who
said he was not in heaven, if he was
in the other place. Whereupon the
floor gave way with a loud crash,
and fools, mediums and all were
thrown into the cellar. The ghost.
of course, had to bear the blame Of
the accident"

LOCALITIES oP HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
Some weeks ago, DIR. Porter, OF the
Cumberland Presbyterian church in
this city, in the course of series OF
eloquent astronomical Sc m ;,
preached a discourse OF the 'locality
of heaven, astronomically consid-
cred, and located that happy place
in the centre OF our solar system--in
the sun. Last Sunday evening he
discoursed to one OF the largest audi
ences we have ever seen in Memphis,
on the "locali.y Of hell" and fixed
the abode of the damned outside Of
the solar and astral system, in the
"outer Darkness" beyond the light Of
the sun and stars. where the planets,
comets, and lost world, which have
the great laws Of their exis-
tencs, darkle forever on their return
