OLD MAIDS. "A sprightly writer ex-
presses his opinion Of old maids ia the fol
lowing manner: Il am inclined to think
that many Of the satirical aspersions cast
upon old maids tell more to their credit
than is generally imagined. Is a woman
remarkably neat in her person /? she will
certainly be an old maid Is she partic-
ularly reserved toward the other sex :?
She has all the squeamishness Of an old
maid Is she frugal in her expenses and
exact in her domestic concerns She is
cut out for an old maid And if she is
kindly humane to the animals about her,
nothing can save her from the appellation
of an odd maid In short, / have always
found that neatness, modesty, economy,
and humanity are the never failing char
acteristics Of that terribly abused creature
An odd maid.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS. Clayton, in his
Sketches in. Biography" says:-In the
course of my travels, [ have seen many a
promising and fine young man gradually
led to dissipation, gambling, and ruin,
merely by the want of means to make a
solitary evening pass pleasantly. earn
estly advise any youth who quits that
abod Of purity, peace, snd delight, his pa
ternal home, to acquire taste for reading
AMI writing. At every place where he
may reside long, let him study to make
his apartment as attractive and comforta-
BILE as possible; for he will find little ex-
traordinary expense, SO bestowed at the
beginning, to be good economy at the end;
let him read the best books to be had in
the place in which he lives; and above all
let him never retire to rest without at least
writing page Of original comment on
what he has seen, read and heard in the
day. This habit will teach him to observe
and discriminate for man ceases to read
with desultory and wandering mind,
which is utter waste Of time, when he
knows that an account of all the inforlna-
ton which be has gained must be written
at night. i

The Great Sunken Lake.

This great natural curiosity is situated
in the Cascade Mountains, about seventy
FIVE miles northeast from Jacksonville,
Oregon. It rivals the famous valley of
Sinbad the Sailor. It is thought to aver
age two thousand feet down to the water
all round The walls are almost perpen-
dicular, running down into the water and
leaving no beach The depth Of the wa
ter is unknown, and it's surface is smooth
and unruflied, as it lies so far below the
surface Of the mountain that the air cur
rents do not affect it. It's length is esti-
mated at twelve miles, and it's width at ten
There is an island in its centre having
trees upon it. No living man ever was,
nor probably ever will be. able to reach the
waters edge. It lies silent, still and mys-

the hands Of the giant genii Of the noun
tains in the unknown ages gone by, who
around it in the primcval forests watch and

ed rife several times into the water at an
angle Of forty-fve degrees, and were able
to llote several seconds OF time from the
report Of the gun until the ball struck the
water. Such seems incredible, but it is
vouched for by several of our most relia-
bic citizens. The lake is certainly most
remarkable curiosity.

Judge Cations Letter.

We earnestly ask the attention Of our
readers to the very able letter of Elk Chief
Justice CAToS, which appears on our outer
orm: We had intended briefly to analyze
this letter, SO as to present its strong points
at glance by way of assisting the reader
fully to appreciate their force. On looking
it over n second time, however, we find its
points stated with such clearness, and in
language so plain and style so pleasing
almost fascinating, that we are persuaded the
reader of even the most ordinary Intelligence,
will need no help from US.
In our humble estimation. this letter is TIE
strongest document Of the campaign. In 10
other has the ruinous course of the radicals,
their folly, madness, and maiignity, been
portrayed in such vivid colors If this
country, by the unspeakaoly criminal folly
and madness of the tines, is plunged into
another civil warwick means hopeless and
eternal ruin this letter alone will enable
the impartial historian to trace tie cause and
fix with unerring certainty the responsibility
Of our downfall. 1t is letter that should be
read in every family circle, and even if read
from the pulpit, on the holy Sabbath day,
would be infinitely less a Dissertation of that
sacred day and place, than NEST Of the
miserable harrangues to which so many of
oar religious congregations in these DAYS
are obliged to listen.

Lisbon Post Master.

The case of CLIFFORD, so pathetically set
forth in the Republican, the wounded soldier
who had been removed from the Lisbon Post
Office, has been pretty well ventilated by our
congressman Mr.. Cook, with no note or com
ment from any quarter SO far as We know.
We propose neither note or comment, yet
we would be pleased to have brother Cook"
state, at the next exhibition of this case,
First-Whether Clifford did not talk Of
resigning because of the insufficient support.
Secondly Did rot some black republicans
sign Mr.. Moore's application for the office,
and give it their endorsement?
Thrdly-Does not a black republican
family In Lisbon act the part of boudsmen
to Mr.. Moore, and in some way divide the
profits of this change of location?
Fourthiy-Have not 'the saints" at Lis
bon a sharp look out .or the main chance?
The honest truth Of the whole matter is
that Col. Dickey, upon whom Mr.. Cook is
heaping so much abuse in reference to the
Lisbon Office, signed the recommendation of
Moore at the request of some old personal
friends in Lisbon, who, though probably re>
presenting themselves as Johnson men, were
really radicals, and who desired Gifford's
removal, not on political grounds, but TO reap
the advantages cfa location of the Office il
the village nearer their place of business.

County Fair-COrrections:

Several errors crept into the report we
published last week of the award of premiums
at the late county fair, partly through miss
takes of the committees themselves, and
partly through mistakes Of our OVID. We
proceed to correct such as have been brought
to our notice.
In Thorough bred horses no premium
was awarded, as stated by ". The only ones
on the ground were owned by Captain J. L.
Mccormick, of Peru, but as he had sent them
by young man who was unable to give their
pedigree, as required by the rules of the So>
ciety, they were not entered for premium
They were very fine animals, and if properly
entered, would doubtless have received first
prize.
In ''Horses of All Work." Glass Al. the
first premium on brood mares 3 wears old
aud over was awarded to Franklin Bruner.
and the I'd to Geo. Grove Our report erro.
nsously gives the premiums to entirely differ.
ent parties
The first premium, on ''Best fine shirt made
by hand was awarded to Mary F. White,
but by some mistake of the committee was
reported as given to some other party.
On pears ouF report gives the first premium
on "Fcur best varieties to Fl. l.. Brush.
This premium was awarded to HAYES a.
Hathaway. Mr.. Brush took the premium on
the largest variety.

Trial Of Jeff. Davis.

A correspondence between the President
and the Attorney General is published in
reference to the trial of jeff Davis, which
had been announced as again about to take
place. This correspondence places the re-
sponsibilty for a further postponement ex-
actIy where it belongs, upon the radical
disunion congress.
1t seems Chief Justice Chase appointed a
special term of the court at Richmond in
October, especially for the trial of Davis.
But the radical trump" IL its anxiety to
take away from the President bis right to
appoint p successor to the late Judge Catron.
passed an act remodeling the districts and
reducing the number of judges. In this act
the "ru,np' abrogated the special term motifs
fed by Judge Chase, by declaring that all
cases should be continued to the regular term
of the first Monday in November. But the
trump in remodeIing the districts, omitted
to make any allotment of the justices ana
1t is now the opinion of Judge Chase, and it
seems, also, to be the opinion of The Attor-
ney genera, that ho court can De ieSai'y
held in any of the districts until congress, by
further legislation, shall designate the re-
spective justices who shall hold the court in
the different districts. Thus it is seen to be
owing to the laundering stupidity or igno-
rance Gf not premeditated design OF the
radical congressional trump that Jefferson
Davis IS not tried and treason made
odious."
