New PUBLICATION--W received by mail
before last, from Oregon, work entitled
40uR NORTHWEST CoAsT OR THREE YEARS
RESIDENCE IN WAsuiNGroN TERRlroRY," by
JAMES G. SWAN, formerly of ShOalwateT
eBny, in this Territory
The work is well written, abounds in
much valuable information, and will be
found quite interesting. So far as we know,
the work may be relied upon as correct up
on oil such subjects as the writer treats, al
though we would by no means say that he
has fully represented, the commercial ugri
cultural, and other advantages possessed by
Washington Territory. A three years res
idence in a cabin on Shoalwatcr Bay 1--WE
should infer he had not been beyond its
precincts Often or long.) docs not furnish
any author with sufficient data to speak ol
write knowingly of country embracing an
area Of l23,00 square miles. His des
crption Of persons and events connected
with the FIRST Indian treaties in our Terrific
~ under the superintendent Of our late
Superintendent, are quite graphic and anu
sing to read, and the characters described
will readily be recognized by the reader
As before said, the work, so far asit goes
truthful and correct, and well worth the
price that is probably asked for it. 1t con

LARGE FRUIT.-We were shown the 9th
er day by his excellency, Gov. McMuLLEY,
specimen of fruit, presented to him by
some friend at the CowIitz Landing, whose
name we were unable to obtain, namely :
an apple weighing one pound ten and a
half ounces, and measuring fifteen inches in
circumference. We cannot say to what spe-
cies the apple belongs. or whether sum
mer or winter apple but this we do know,
that the like of this apple cannot be pro-
duced in any Of the eastern or western
States, and that it looks very tempting to
the palate. In fact, we could scarcely re-
frain from playing dentist" upon that apple
inserting teeth therein.
If the apple which induced our indiscrcet
mother Eve TO transgresS the commands Of
the great law-giver, was but one-half as
tempting to the sight as is the one Of which
we speak, we, for one, do not think .harshly
Of the deed. Such tempting fruit ought
not to have been placed within her reach.
We, probably, should have done as she did.
This sample apple but shows what our
farmers, by industry and proper attention
can do, if they will only exert themselves.
Our soil and,climate are faVorble, and all
that is necessary, we might almost say, is
10 stick in your trees and gather your
apples.

Negro Testimony.

The case Of the State Of iowa against Hall
was tried in the District Court on Wednesday,
last. The defendant was charged with steal.
ing hogs, butwas acquitted by the jury. We
allude to the case, now, as being the first one
which has occurred in this court under The
law of last winter, admitting negro testi-
mony. And we hasten to announce to the
universal world and the "rest of mankiodn
that although John Heiner, colored man, did
actually get up and give his testimony in omen
court, before the Bench, the Bar, the Jury and
great number Of white men, yet the court
still survives, the jury still lives, and there is
yet no "amalgamation" that we have heared
OF, nor is the white race hopelessly degraded.
We trust that Zen. Samuels and the Locofoco
generally, win breath easier after
this femarkabl, circumstances. Let us add
that Heiner's tesfimony,-which by the way.

was submitted to the jury for what it was

The Contrast.

The land Of our nativity and the home of
our childhood is in the black swamps of north
western Ohio, in what is styled the anglaige

The CITY of Rurrinsson.

Our visit the other day 10 this beautiful city,
impressed us With the factsthat at no time
since We had known il, has il been growing so
rapidly as at present. The railroads now
make proper connections both ways, and are
constantly pouring business and travel through
the place. We noticed some of the most beau
tiful blocks Of business houses that can be
found In any city, going up.
Mr.. Durham, of the HawL- Eye, Is la

blePost OF duty, getting out with the regular
ity Of clock work, one of the ahlest aud best
papers in the State. The Daily HaCls- Eye
ought to have large circulation in this re-
eioR. Its teleg raph reports are worth, TO
business men and others, many times the price
Of the paper, which is only $500 year
Burlington is now well supplied with whole
sale houses in every department of trade, and
it occurred to US that goods of most kinds,
could be laid in there on good terms. s'A
In the wholesale furniture line, we found
H. C. Hardy, Jefferson St, fully prepared to
supply every quality and any quantity, from
rosewood. Mr. Hardy is probably one Of
the heaviest dealers in the article, in the west,
and we were told that his terms justify dealers
in buying OF him to sell again.
In the Hat and Cap line, Burlington has one
Of the most extensive m nufactories and EN-
poriums in the west, at P. w. Somers', on
Jefferson st. A heavy stock. and reasonable
prices, characterize and commend this estab-
Iishment to public favor.
J. S. Hidden & Co., wholesale Drug estab-
lishment, Grimes' Block, led US to think that
Drug Dealers might 60 farther and fare worse.
Their stock is large, and we thought COM

various leads can be found in the west
Messrs. H. & Co., are gentlemen Of large

that they stand very fair with those who have

latter again pleaded SO hard, promised to exert

Iy consented, when Ashley imnedia tely seized
arope and let himself down into the boat, and
was followed by apassenger No sooner had
the latter reached the boat, than Ashley drew
a dirk and swore that he would stab the man
unless he would jump over board. Capt. H.
hearing the remark make by him cried "s.op
there, you must not do thatn - As soon as the
boat pushed Oft, Capt. H. walked forward on
the steamer and called after the engineer.
'Now will depend upon your returnlng with
the boat" and the engineer in reply said.
"Captan, yon may depend on your life on NV

what its laws are, which he would have the
government protect at the point Of the bayo-

So you see that he would enforce a law
which would imprison man cat hard labor
