THE SMALLPOX EXClTEMENT.-Our
town was thrown into violent state
Of excitement last Saturday by the report
spreading that Mr.. William Wait, of the
anderson, had contracted the smallpox.
Fortunately, however, there appears to
have been no cause for alarm. Mr.. Wait
is convalescing rapidly, and it is thought
was only i'll from the effects of vaccination
rendered more violent from severe cold.

pT- The San Francisco Occideut says
that scientific gentleman proposes an APP
paratus by which the news ofthe approach
of an earthquake may be forwarded to the
city over the various lines of telegraph, and
the citizens warned by the ringing Of a
bell to abandon dangerous places. He
proposes to accomplish this without the
intervention of tclegraphic operators, the
undulation of the earth starting the dis
patch over the wires. 1t appears to us the
vibration of the earth would give the alarm
direct quite as quickly and effectually as
through this contrivancc. If some means
can be devised to give an alarm in advance
Of the shock, it might result in some prac-
tical benefit.

SATURDAY MORNING. NOV. 81, 1865
Northward the Car Of Progress takes
its Way.

The chief topic of conversation on the
streets of 50 Portland-on-W allamct," We are
informed, is Puget Sound. The State of
Oregon, as embraced in the hub cannot
shut their eyes to the fact that the sccptcr
Of power is being slowly but surely drawn
from their grasp. The Commercial, the
organ of the Obstructionists, indicates the
feeling to be intense. We copy the follow
ing extracts from a leading article in that
paper of Monday:
at will be remembered when Joint
Memorial No. l (Chapman's) was before
the House, Kirk of Umatilla county, in
Eastern Oregon. offered an amendment in
effect to ask aid from the General Govern
mcnt to construct the Salt Lake branch in
direct line to Puget Sound, ria the Sno-
q,,almic Pass, and that amendment was
bitterly attacked by members from all por-
tions of the Stately Gazely of Douglas,
White of Jackson, Chapman of Multnomah,
and many others-and, on final vote, was
rejected: Nays, 45; yeas, l.
The reasons offered by each member
were the same: They objected in the
strongest terms to any action OH the part
of the Legislature looking towards recog-
milton of the commercial performance of
Puget Sound, in Washington Territory,
over the ports within the territorial limits
of our own State. 1t was an unsafe propO-
sition for the rival railroad companies to
entertain; and When the Holiday Com.
pany, to secure the votes of certain men,
bers, promised to throw their influence in
favor of the direct route, they made that
promise, in secret, and in secret it was and
still is kept. Oregon was doubly sold.
First, the Queen Catherine Company, for
the universal construction ofrailroads, never
favored the branch from Ecastern Oregon
direct to the Sound, because it would build
up a foreign port, to the injury of our own
ports; and secondly, We now behold them
running directly for the Sound, and direct
ly away from Portland! building branch
to the Sound from this side ofthe Cascades,
and lcsscning the chances for the Salt Lake
route; and in fact the life and success Of
the Pacific Central depends upon the fail.
urc of the Union Pacific to construct the
branch above mentioned.
'Think you that the members Of the
Legislature would have voted first against
a branch from Eastern Oregon to the
Sound, on account Of State pride and State
interest, and then knowingly, and with
their senses unimpaired, have voted for q
company which in ono short month would
break ground on road which is to draw
trade and travel directly from the very
heart Of Oregon and make it tributary to .
namclcss, barren spot on Puget Sound, the
very hills of which are to echo with the
false promises of Ben Holiday? A nice
viper has the Legislature Of Oregon taker
to its bosom and warmed into life.
Those rotten old tubs Of the Mexican
Steamship Company. owned BY Ben Ho!la
day h Co, have for years sappcd the life
blood Of Oregon by way Of the ColumIi,
river. and If the present scheme Is carried
out, the sucking and sapping process vii
go on by way Of the Tacoma and Vancou
yer Railroad"

THE LIUMINArION.-Thc grand illu-
mination" on Friday evening. in honor OF
the glorious victories" was farcical in the
extreme. One printing'oficc, one hotel,
one saloon, one public Office and two dwell
ing houses, stuck candles in their windows,
putting one very forciblc in mind of Yam
kee Doodle, who
Stuck feather in his hat,
And called it macaroni.'
Another enthusiastic Republican lady
wished to illuminate, and sent boy to the
neighbours for candle and some matches,
but the supply was exhausted. About a
dozen rockets were let off during shower
of rain, and resemblcd more signals of dis
trcss than indications Of rejoicing. They
went up with fzzle, and ended with a fec
bic report and melancholy-looking blue
stars. Is not the whole attempt at 'jolar-
ity" fraught with omcns Of sad import?

Raising Calves.

Some farmers prefer 70 take the calves
from the COWS when but a few days old,
while others contend that both the cows
and calves are the better for a longer
association, say from three 10 four weeks.
When calves are separated from their
dams, when but e few days old, both pine
for the old relation more keenly than
when several weeks have elapsed before
1t is broken. Bot whether takenyfrom
the dam at once or after an association of
some weeks, it is important that The calves
should have the kindest of treatment, as
rough usage is certain to ma Ike them
wild, hence ha:der TO manage in all af-
ter time. It is true hat with gentleness

blesome to those having charge of them,
but the Inconvenience should be compla-

The Apis, Or BARK LoUsE.-The
best means TO eztirpate them according
TO DR.. Fitch, are those recommended by
Mr.. Kimball Of Kenosha. He boils leaf
tobacco in strong lye till It is reduced to
an impalpable pulp, and mixes with it
soft soap, which has been made cold, TO
make the mass about the consistency Of
thin paint, the object being to obtain a
preparation that will not be entirely
washed from the tree by the first rains.
The application must be thorough TO the
body, limbs and twigs or wherever a louise
is detected. This should be done with a
paint brush before the buds start in the
spring, and if the painting is faithfully
performed the death of The lice viii be
assured. Il requires time and patience.
but both are well rewarded by the bene-
fetal effect the application has upon the
trees, killing the lice and imparting in
creased vitality to the trees.

WINTER MANAGEMENT OF Breeding
EwEs.-A Correspondent Of the Rural
New- Yorker states that he has learned al
a "great loss' hat "ewes thaI are kept
for breeding purposes should not be con.
fined to a yard in WINTER but that they
should have the run of one or two fields,
say an old pasture and the meadow which
is to be broken up in spring. He thinks
ian occasional nip Of grass roots good
for them" and that if this diminishes
their consumption of fodder, they will
eat enough of it to keep them in fair
condition. He has learnt by experience
that ewes kept in a yard, and kept fat,
will raise far fewer lambs. Moderate
feed and plenty Of exercise. he regards as
the best treatment for lamb raising-that
the ewes will give more milk, and The
lambs be stronger. He thinks roots very
benefcialfor a short period before yearn-
ing. He calls for the experience of
other members of the "Rural Brigade, ("
Of which he declares "lhat he is proud to
say be is one" We heartily cOncuE In
his views in every particular.

Effect OF Climate and Pasture on
Wool,
STocK PLACE, near Nashville Tenn,l
Dncemher 81. 1867.

STocK PLACE, near Nashville Tennl
December q, 1867.
MEssRs. SAM LAWRENCE & SoHs:-
Your note has Just been received. Per-
NIT me to say that / am better and more
fully informed upon the important sub.
iect of wool growing than l was 81 years
ago. / think | have investigated the
influence of climate and pasture upon
wool as carefully as any man living.I have
such a document as | think likely no
other man whatever has in his possession.
/ have labeled and filed away nearly all
of my stock bucks samples for upwards
of fifty years, and likewise have samples
from all the noted focks in America,
and many from best hocks of Europe.
/, therefore, can sit in my own house
and compare with all the world. WHY
should | not be well posted upon the in.
huenCe Of climate upon wool? Allow me
TO say that the finest wool 1 ever saw
was grown in Mississippi, upon my flock
when there, although | have used every
possible means to improve my sheep for
about 50 years. / have Silesian sheep,
and have had bucks from many noted
focks from many parts Of the world. l
am able to declare that l give a decided
preference 10 a warm climate, where
fleece is all the time kept soft, and where
sheep can procure, all the year. round,
green, succulent food to produce the
most soft, and project staple Of wool, but
