The simplicity and prastieabilily Of this new

OF every farmer. II possesses decided Superior

plieated. The Piow Il managed In every manner
with ease and requires only two levers 10 be used
in making any alteration. The superiority Of the
"Gay" Plow viii be clearly shown by the follow

We the undersigned. citizens Of Linn county.

farms the "GAY" PLoW. hereby certify that the
same has given entire satisfaction. It's facility

We like the Plow for its dTanght because the Aame
IL brought to bear directly upon the plow beam
instead OF the carriage also because it - strong
and durable, all except the wooe work being con-
strueted Of wrought iron no castings are used.

For Diseases OF tho Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whoopin9
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before IN the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, rs this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through q long
eeries OF years, and among most or the races OF
men II has risen higher and higher in their estma-
ton, rs Il has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
OF the lungs anil throat have made IL known rs
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
mder forms Of disease and TO young children, IL Is
be given for incipIent consumption, and the dan
gerous affections Of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks OF Group, IL should
be kept on hand IN every family, and indeed as all
arc sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption ia thought In
durable, sti great numbers or caaes where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and tho patient restored to sound health by the
CHERRY PectoruI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders OF tho Lungs and Throat, that

THE NAVY.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy
accompanying this shows the condition of
the navy when this Administration came
into Office, and the changes that have been
made since. Strenuous efforts have been
made to place as many vessels in commits
sion, or render them fit for service if re-
quired, as soon as possible, and substitute
the sail for steam while cruising, thus
materially reducing the expenses Of the
navy, and adding materially to its eficien-
cy. Looking TO our future, a liberal
though not extravagant policy toward this
branch of the public service Is recon-
mended.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.


The report of the Postmaster General
furnishes clear and comprehensive ex-
hibit of the operations of the postal service
and of the financial condition. OF this
part of the Postoficc department the ordi-
nary postal revenues for the year ending
June 80, 1869, amount to SIS, ,344, ,O0l,
and the expenditures to S23, $50 ,I3I,
showing an excess of expenditures oyer
receipts 81 ,353, $40; the excess of expend-
itures over receipts for the previous year
amounted to Sc, ,537, ,992; the increase of
this departments revenues for 1869 over
those of 1868 was s2,051 900, and the
increase eff expenditures was S9,675. .928.
The increased revenue Of 1869 exceeded
the increased revenue of 1868 by $780,
336. The increased expenditures in 1869
were 81. .527 $40 less than the increased
expenditures 10 1867, showing by COM
parison this gratifying feature of improve
ment, that while the increase of expendi-
itures over the increase Of receipts in 1868
was s., ,439, ,535, the increase of receipts
over the increase of expenditures of1869
was 81, ,084,371.
1ouf attehtlon Is respectfully called 20
the Recommendation made by the Post
master General for authority to change
rates Of compensation to the Main Trunk
Railroad lines for services in coin for car
rying the mails; for having post routes
now executed for recognizing and in
creasing the efficiency of special agents !;
for increase of mail service on the Pa
cifc, and for establishing mail service
under the flag of the Union on the At
lantic. And especially do I call your at
tention to his recommendation for the to-
tai abolition of the franking privilege
This Is an abuse from which no one re-
ceiyes a commensurate advantage. It
reduces the receipts for the postal SER
vice from 25 to 80 per cent, and largely
increases the ser,ice to be performed -

MiSHSed UOrdS.

The spurious words are less numerous
than the misused words; but in both cat
egories the pathological heresy has the
same origin, character, and tendency.
Il. Is i. matter of almost daily expert
ence to fui in the newspapers sentences
like this:
General Grant and his family have
arrived in town, and are stopping at the
Fifth-Avenue Hotel
"On reading such an announcement.
one is tempted to inquire:
when will Grant stop stopping?'
stopping is not u continuous process,
like going, i;riag, etc To stop is to do 4
single act that terminates the prior ac-
ton. The act may be repeated, but it
cannot be continued"
In our midst is common phrase in
sermons. homilies, and religious newspa-
pcrs and it is not uncommon elsewhere.
''sIitSt, means simply, middle, and it
means nothing else; hence, in our midst
is no better than ia orr mitdle."
Boira is perpetually misused in the
way OF quotation, or rather of pretended
quotation; for the process is always a
miSquotation. 1t is used in this way:
Our friend went Cor was accompani-
ed, or has gomez to that bourn from which
no traveller returns
The line is intended TO be, and seems
generally supposed to be, n quotation
from Shakespeare-which, however, it
certainly is not.

that Shakespeare did not use the word in
