Too MUcH PIANO, Erc.-The United
States Advertising Company Of New
York" is a bore-yes, q veritable bore.
They have bored US half to death for
the last four months with offers to ad-
vertise for them, and to take due bills
for the pay, or part pay. They want to
advertise pianos, any quantity Of them.
Now, we don't want a piano-we're not
stuck after pianos. No pianos for us ;
too late for that kind of nonsense in our
household no daughters mol sons in
the Lynch family ; We would not pay
the freight from New York for one-to
say nothing Of the advertising bill.
Having tried US about 6fty times on the
piano question, "the United States Ad.
yertising Company Of New York" want
US to advertise and take q due bill for
the pay for some 6re-proof house-roo'
tiles. We answer, most emphatically
that we want no 6re-proof houss-tiles'
Our property is insured in the Pacific
Fire Insurance Company, aud fre-proof
house-roof tiles might keep US from
ever being burnt out. No tile for US. We
are also asked to advertise " the patent
Composite Iron Railing" Now, we
can stand the piano-fortes and the tiles,
to a limited extent, but the iron railing
we detest and abhor. Iron railing looks
we'll enough in a grave yard or a prison
eeh-but, no iron railing for us-"t
least not just yet. We are also desired
oy the same liberal advertising firm to
advertise "Band instruments and violin
strings" and take it out in trade. We
don't belong to any band, o do we
want violin strings. We hate to be
bored fifty times in six months with
such offers. If the U. s. Advertising
Company Of New York" want to adyer-
tise here, let them send plenty Of green.

MoTToEs.-In the Democratic process
sion, Saturday night, n Of the notices
read: With Pap Prices Army and
General Apathy, Oregon is good for TO-
900 majority" It may be that these
fellows are good at voting. Like the
coon dog, they ought to be good for
something, for when tho brilliant Sigel
got after them they were not much good
for fighting. Blair and Lyon and Sigel
chased them out of Missouri, which they
"left for their country's good and
out upon this Western coast they will
prove their gratitude to Blair by voting
for him to rule over them. No doubt
tina. every ex.rebel in the land will vote
for him-indeed they it was who nomi-
mated him Sac. Bee.

Der 1t to have been, so far as it affects

these has reduced the strength Of the
patient to the proper minimum, an In
tense laxity seizes upon and carries II

COUNTY SUPERVISORS Tho Coun>
ty Board Of Supervisors expect to
adjourn to-day, and next week we
shall lay their doings before our reads
ers. They have been intent upon
doing right, in some cases having to
depart from the letter Of the law.
The late Legislature very unwisely
enacted, that no accounts shall be
received for auditing after the first
day of the meeting of the County
Board. This very contemplate pro-
vision the Board disl egarded and de.
Gently allowed men having accounts
to present them any time during the
first week. Another unwise provis-
ion of the late legislature is this
providing that the County Board
shall meet in June and agree upon
the exact amount Of tax to be levied
to pay bills to be audited the ensuing
November This is exactly like a
mans going to the store to lay in his
supplies and taking along just so
much money and no moro to pay.
Or it looks a. though the Legislature
considers the county supervisors in
capable of trust or Of unsound mind.
The supervisors met in June, and
guessed at the sum to be raised By
tax, and then so ordered; common
sense would suggest that, upon the
allowance OF all accounts, and foot
ing up the same, the Board should
next pass an order for raising about
80 much money by tax as will pay
such debt-but the legislature put
tho cart ahead of the horse, they did.

them. That fortune, which smiled

and. although his wife and frieads
attempted to persuade him into an,

lucrative business, he resolved 10

make the mines pay him back his
principle and u good share ofinterest
yet The sequel will prove that he
was correct in his conclusions.

other small pieces were found, and
the prospect was so enticing as to be
deserving of trial He went home,
procured his tools, aud went to work,
and, to make q long story short, in
two weeks reached an opening, filled
from top to bottom with pure galena.

that he had fixed, beyond the possi-

CRAWFORD Co ELECTION. The
Union says that Of late crime has
been SO rampant in that county that,
no matter who was arrested or what
the evidence Of guilt, 10 criminal has
been convicted and punished. 1t is
estimated that Mr.. Catcher, the Dist.
Attorney, has been worse than no
Dist. Atty, for which very good rea-
son the people have elected O. Il.
Thomas by allowing him to just run
ahead of his ticket. The same how.
ever is true OF any democratic
county in the state, the District At
torneys OF which are all shabby and
disposed to help their " friends, as
Seymour was. We thought the dem
ocratic business men of Crawford
would at last make strike in the
right direction and elect republicans
to, administer the criminal laws
But what of the Crawford Sheriff?
