Oregon a State.

The House of Representatives on Sat
urdav passed without amendment the
Senate bill admitting Oregon as a State
of the Union (the thirty-third) hy the
following vote: Yeas-ll4. Nsys-lo3'
The Constitution of the new State Id
some of its particulars is alleged to be In
direct contraveption of that OF the United
S.ates-a fact which led to determined
opposition to its admission at this time by
the bulk of the Republican rlembers.--
But as the measure was made party
question, and two Democratic Senators
were waiting the signal to take possession
of their seats, there was but little Difficult
ty in forcing it through. Attempts were
made by the Republicans to attach to the
bill a provision for the admission of Kan
sas upon an equal footing, providing for
a census of the inhabitants, requiring A
merican citizenship, &C., all of which were
over-rued by the majority. 1t seems
that what applies in one case has no bear
ing upon another, there being one rule Of
action for Free Soil Territory, and an
other for a Democratic one. The bill
will certainly be signed BY the President
and the members elect will take their
seats without delay.

On Monday night, Jan. 81, some des-
perate rascal entered the dwelling of Mr..
Henry Stowell, in Shutesbury, and stealth
ily proceeded to bedroom in which his
daug ghter Ellen, un excellent young lady
of some nineteen years of age, and an
other lady, were sleeping in separate beds,
to both of whom he administered chloro-
form. He then IN ado several cuts with
some sharp instrument upon the forehead
of Miss Ellen, extending from the roots
of the hair to the eyebrows, and also upon
her chin. From these wounds the blood
flowed freely, but they were not serious
He also made cash of some three inch
es in length upon her breast, and proba-
bly, committed other outrages. On re,
tiriug she took the rings from her fingers
and placed them upon the table near heI
bed; these were found upon the floor, bro
ken and useless. Her clothing was al
taken from the room in which she slept
and from the room adjoining. Even hel
trunk was broken open and clothing ant
papers carried away. Her summer hat
and sum mer clothing Of all kinds, as vel
as whatever else that belonged to her was
carefully selected and carried off. There
we're many valuable articles in the same
room belonging to other members of the
family, but nothing whatever was distur

The Folly Of going to Law.

The Easton Argus of last week says ::
"The folly of going to law was beautiful
ly exempli6ed in our Common Pleas
Court last week, in the trial wherein Dan
iel Schortz figured as plaintiff and VIM,
Stocker as defendant. The action was
brought to recover the value of II bush
els Of screenings, which the plaintiff held
the defendant wrongfully withheld from
him. Stocker lived on Schortz's farm
and was farming son shares, " bound IN
lease to give his landlord half the grain,
&c, which it was alleged be did not do,
mas much as he did not hand over the
screenings. The entire value of the
screenings was about 81, so, and nearly
two entire days we're consumed IN the trl-
al Of the case. Two attorneys were en-
gagged on each side, whose fees did not a.
mount to less than $50, and the witness
fees aud court increased this sum to at
least 500, to say nothing of the time
consumed by the parties to the suit. The
Jury, after patient bearing of the case,
decided that screenings did not cone un-
der the head of grain. and accordingly
returned verdict for the defendant
How much better Daniel would have been
off, had he permitted his tenant to retain
his screenings and rest coutent. A u an

if be imasines himself wronged than to

Dalley's Magical Pain Extractor.

In all diseases inflammation more or less
predominates--Dow to allay Inflammation
strikes at the root OF disease-hence an i'm
mediate cure.
DalleyS' Magical Pain Extractor,
and nothing else, will allay Inflammation At
once, and make certain cure.
Dalley'S Magical Pam Extractor
will cure the following among catalogue Of
diseases; burns, scaIds, cuts, chafes, sore nip
pies, corns, bunions, strains, bites, poison,
chibains, biles, scrofula, ulcers, fever sores,
felons, ear ache, piles, sore eyes, gout, swell
lnigs, rheumatism, scald head, salt rheLu,,
badness, erysipelas, ringworm, BARRIERS itch,
small pox, measles, rash, &C., &c.
To some it may seem incredulous that so
many diseases should be reached by one arti-
Gle; such an idea will vanish when reflection
points to the fact that the salye is a combina-
ton of ingredients, each and every one ap-
plying a perfect antidote TO its opposite dis
order.
Dalley's Magical Pam Extractor
In its effects is magical, because the time is
SO short between disease and permanent
cure; and it is an extractor. as it draws all
disease out of the affected part, leaving ma
ture as perfect as before the injury. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that no house. work
shop, or manutactury should be one moment
without 1t.
