First amendment:
In the first section, after the word " Gov
ernmcnt," insert the words "and ther,
shall be appointed by the President al
assistant astronomer and surveyor"
Second amendment
In the seventh and eighth lines of the
third section, strike ont the words fifteen

"The proceedings of the said commits

that part Of the said line of boundary, from
the boundary line between Washington
Territory and the British possessions"
Mr.. HOUSTON. Do | understand
these amendments to require the entire line
to be run ?
Mr.. PENNINGTON. No, sir.
Mr.. HOUSTON. How much Of it?
Mr.. PENNINGTON. Only so much
as divides Washington Territory from the
British possessions. The object of extend
ing the operation of the bill by the amend
ment is, as | have already said, to obviate
difficulties which have grown up ont Of con-
tests between British subjects and Ameri-
can citizens, in regard TO lands on or near
the line, and especially as to valuable
mineral lands. 1t is proposed to con6ne
the demarkatiOn OF the line now entirely
on the westerly side of the Rocky noun
tains. 1t is not proposed to extend it over
or to the east Of that range. The line to
be run, as contemplated by the bill and
amendments, begins at the summit Of the
Rocky mountains, and thence crosses the
valleys Of the Columbia river and its
branches to the middle of the channel be-
tween Vancouver's Island and the main
land, aud thence on the water line to the
Pacific ocean.
The previous question was seconded, and
the main question ordered and, under its
operation, the amendments were agreed to.
The bill was then ordered to be engross-
ed and read third time and, being en-
crossed, it was read the third time.
Mr.. PENNINGTON, moved the previ-
Gus question on the passage Of the bill.
The previous question was seconded, and
the main question ordered and, under its
operation, the bill was passed.
Mr.. PENNINGTON moved to recon-
slider the vote by which the bill was passed,
and also moved to lay the motion to recon
slider on the table which latter motion
was agreed TO.

APPLYING THE RuLE.-A few days ago
an lriShman was asked by a Beecher- Parker,
revolying-Bble-riAe disciple, if he was
going to vote for Fremont, when the hon.
est Hibernian made the following reply
." am not in the country long enough to
vote for Fremont"
" Why not How long are you in the
country ?" inquired our friend of the black
mixed political creed.
" Five years" replied the Irishman.
Well, that is long enough, if you have
your papers," said Sam.
" l know" said the witty son of Erin,
" that is long enough for Buchanan voter,
but you know it takes tloenty-one years to
make a Fremont voter-and by hokey, I'll
stay the time ont before vote for him"
Sam sloped, muttering something about
the Pope.-MilUaukie Working Man.

Stockton's opinion-expressed at all times

Why THE MAHoMEDANs ADOPTED THE
"CREscENT."-When Philip of Macedon ap.
preached by night with his troops TO scale
the1walls Of 'Byzantum, the moon shone
out and discovered his design to the be-
Sieged, who vigorously repulsed him. The
crescent was afterwards adopted as the ia.
vorito badge Of the city. When the Turks
took Byzantium, they found the crescent
in every public place, and believing it to
possess some magical power, they adopted
it themselves.

Eighty Years Ago.

BY CHARLES sPRAGUE.
Eighty years have rolled away,
Since that high, heroic day,
When our fathers, in the fray,
Struck the conquering blow!
Praise to them-the bold who spoke;
Praise to them-the brave who broke
Stern oppression's CALLING yoke,
Eighty years ago!
Pour the wine Of sacrifice,
Let the grateful anthem rise
Shall we eer resign the prizel
Never-never-nO!
Hearts and hands shall guard those rights,'
Bought on Freedoms battle heights,
Where he fixed his signal lights
Eighty years ago
Swear it! by the mighty dead
Those who counselled, those who led;
By the blood your fathers shedi
By your mothers woe
Swear it by the living few
Those whose breasts were SCARED for you,
When to fredOm's rank they few
Eighty years ago!
By the joys that cluster round,
By our wales with plenty crowned,
By our hill tops-hOly ground
Rescued from the foe,
Where, Of old, the Indian strayed,
Where, Of old, the pilgrim prayed,
Where the patriot drew his blade
Eighty years ago!
Should again the wartrump peal,
There shall Indian firmDess seal
Pilgrim faith and patriot zeal,
Prompt to strike the blOwi
There shall valOr's work be done
Like the sire shall be the son,
Where the fight was waged and won
Eighty years agO!

Just Fifteen Years Ago.

.-... BY ~ W. wELcH.
Do you remember, Tom, the place,
Where OF We used to roaml
That little cot beneath the trees
We called our forest homer
Oh, yes know you'll meier forget,
Wherever you may go,
That cherished spot in which we dwelt,
Just fifteen years ago.
Do you remember how the hours
All gaily wandered byi
How hand In hand, we often roamed,
When stars were in the skyH
Oh, those were bright and joyous days!
We ne'er again shall know,
Such joy and bliss as that we felt,
Just fifteen years ago.
Last summer time wandered, Tom,
To where we used to play;
The school house was not on the hill,
The brook had dried away;
The wOOdman's axe had felled the trees,
The cottage was laid low;
The faces were not those we knew,
Just fifteen years ago.
WANDERED to the old churchyard,
And stopped beyond the wall,
The graves were many, and the grass
Der them, was thick and tall;
Upon the stones read the names
OF those who slept below,
And they were names we loved to hear
Just ffteen,years ago. t-
unused awhile, then turned away.
And gained the dusty road,
And from that spot 80 dear TO me, ..
With rapid step strobe;
could not bear to look around,
II made me sad TO know,
That all were gone whom we had loved.
Just fifteen years ago.
Ny eyes are wet with tears, Tom,
They're falling while write,
Forms that loved are in the tomb, U..
And am sad tonight saI
But, Ton, Aorrows soon will end,
LIES stEt ; Ill cease to flow,
And we shall rest where of we played
Just fifteen years ago,

HONEY BEEs.-About forteen months
since, our enterprising townsman, Mr.. E.
Hughes arrived in Oregon with hive con-
tanning swarm Of bees in a living and
thriving condition They were soon placed
in the care of Mr.. VIM. Cox, resident Of
this county, who became a partner in the
property. We learn from Mr. Hughes,
that the gross weight of the hive and bees,
previously to their leaving the States, in
June 1855, was ninety.three pounds, and
that the weight Of the same hive aud bees
about the lst Of September, 1856, was one
hundred and forty-six pounds. On their
arrival in Oregon, little over a year ago
this hive did not contain much honey, he.
cause the bees within were under the neces
Lsity Of subsisting entirely ubon the contents
of the hive, from the time Of leaving the
States, until they were permitted to work
for themselves in this valley. In the month
of May last, these bees produced two other
swarms, which were hived, and have been
thriving well during the summer. Not
long since, it was ascertained that the bees
of the old hive and one swarm Of the new
had filled their respective hives, and on
additional box was placed upon the top oI
each hive, and both have been recently re-
moved, containing ten pounds of honey
each, and other boxes substituted in their
places, which are now partially filled. Mr.
Hughes thinks that the old swarm have
made nearly one hundred pounds of honey
during the past year. He is also of the
opinion that bees will thrive well and be
profitable in Orcgon.-Pdoife Christian
