WEATHER AND STocK.-We write this on
Thursday morning (13thl. The wind is
from the north, though not very cold. Froze
a little last night. For some days pastit has
thawed a little, but the nights generally
have been cold enough to arrest the work of
the day; and the result has been a protract'
ed battle between heat and cold, by which
neither has very materially %gained-a sort
of snip and tuck" fight, in which, thus far,
snip" has rather the advantage.
Old settlers tell US that they never before
saw so long a cold spell as the present in
Oregon. It has been very detrimental to
Oregonians,-not because the weather has
been very cold, for it has not-but because
they are not prepared for it. The winters
generally are very mild here, and but few
make any preparation for cold weather. As
q consequence hundreds o. bushels of apples
and potatoes have been frozen, and are a
dead loss to their owners. Stock has suffer.
ed more Or less also. We are informed that
q sheep-raiser in 'Gouge's Neck" near
Brownsville, has lost 1000 head of sheep,
and that another, living near Sand Ridge,
has lost $50 head within a few days past.
They appeared well until the crust formed
on the snow this prevented them from dig
ging down to the grass. Our informant says
that he saw many fine sheep lying dead, hay
ing their fore-legs cut to the bone and cover
ed with blood, in their efforts to get at the
grass under the snow.

PAIN KILLER,
PAIN KILLER

From the best and purest materials, and with q
care that insurcs the most perfect uniformity in
the medicine.
The reputation Of tho Pain Killer has suffered
more or less from numerous counterfeits and imi,
~tations, that have been issued from time to time
many Of them well calculated to deceive ; prom;a-
ing to cure diseases for which the Pain Killer is
intended while they contain few If any properties
in common with IL, and are generally entirely
worthless. These become so numerous that, in
1854, to protect the public and ourselves, we wen
to a heavy expense in procuring finely engraved
steel plates for our labels /; altering, at the same
time, the shape of our bottles from 0etagon to hai
panel, with Davis Vegetable Pain Killer" blown
in the glass. On one side Of each bottle is a finely
engraved likeness of Perry Davis, the inventor Of
the medicine on the other side of each 10 our note
of hand, as finely engraved, to counterfeit which
is held to be forgery by the avs of the United
States, To tue name of our medicine,
"PAlN KILLER"
Which is our trade mark, we have the exclusive
right, which We have never failed to sustain in
law, in any Of the numerous actions brought
against parties putting up or selling articles under
that name, or one so similar as to mislead the
public. We would caution the public against al
imitation of our preparation, either in name OF
style of putting up. The Pain Killer is sold
wholesale by Druggists and Medicine dealers in
the principal cities, and retailed by Druggists
Apothecaries, and at variety shops generally
throughout the United States and British Provin,
ces also, by druggists and commission merchant,
at most of the foreign ports with which the United
States hold commercial relations.
The Pain KilIer.-NoRrnAMProN, Mar
IL, 1857. Messrs. Perry Davis d Son :-Deal
Sirs-I wish to add to your numerous testimonials
Last September / was at Work cutting sole leather
with a die and a heavy iron mallet. I made .
misstrike, and the mallet came down with its
whole force upon my thumb, splitting it from the
first joint entirely open, and laid the bone bare
I supposed | had ruined my thumb forever, but
thought of your Paiu Killer, aud went about hail
a mile and obtained . bottle. I saturated a little
cotton batting, first winding q waxed thread
around the wound, and applied the Pain Killer
saturating the baHdage two or three times q day
In five minutes the pain ceased, and in a week il
entirely healed up, and I viii say chat I never
seeu anything for healing qualities that equalled
it, and I would earnestly recommend it to the pub
lie as o pain killer and o healer.
Yours truly, r.. Z. CLAFLIN.
