iN,,eRAr1oN-The tide Of immiera

IMMIGRATIoN.-The tide Of immigra-
ffon to this State is setting in strongly
this winter, and the probabilities are that
the number will be greatly increased.
To the people of the East, Oregon and
California presents facination not pos
sessed by the States and Territories east
of the Rocky Mountains. People when
they start westward are not willing to
stop until they have seen the Pacific
ocean. Every steamer from San Fran
cisco brings to Portland a number of
eastern men who either come to make
this State their permanent home, or who
are out here on tour of inspection, with
view of investing money. A case in
point, is that of Judge Beeson, of Ohio,
a retired lawyer, who came up on the last
steamer to take leok at the country and
make his report, which, if favorable, will
bring three hundred young men out as
permanent citizens. These young men
are either farmers or mechanics, and
besides some money bring muscle school
ed 10 labor, and wills to drive ahead.
Judge b. is not very favorably impressed
with California, but has better opinion
of the portion of Oregon which he has
seen- He has not yet been up in the
Willamette Valley, and we think that
when he does visit our broad prairies and
learns the cheapness of land, that he will
at once decide to recommend this country
to his young friends in the East This
IS only one example of the many, and we
are firmly of the opinion that the influx
of strangers here next year will be greater
than for many years heretofore.

The picturesque way tho ladies now
have of wearing their shawls is very
notable, says New York letter writer.
What was once commonly very ugly
garment has, by an adroit change in the
mode of wearing it, become as striking
in effect as are the costumes of the ORR
entails. And he might have added that
at no period of our history have the
ladies dressed altogether with SO much
good taste and picturesque effect as Of
late years.

JENNIE BOISE Porsos1Na CASE

JENNIE DO1SE fOlSON1NG CASE.-
We take the following Salem correspond
ence from the Oregonian, of November
18th, relative to the Jennie Bois poison
ing case: "Your readers will remember
concerning this case that Miss Jennie
Boise, OF Polk county, was found dead
some months ago, under circumstances
calculated to awaken suspicious that poi
son had been administered. Certain ply
sicians having pretended to make chem
ical examination of the stomach and
contents, and having declared that no
trace of poison could be found, suspicion
was therefore naturally allayed but it
now transpires that DIR. Veatch, who is
good practical chemist, had also receiv-
ed portion of the contents of the stom-
ach, in sealed phial, for analysis, and
he found poison in sufficient quantity to
destroy life. Under these circumstances
a renewed interest in the case is felt
among the people.

A repulsive looking hermit, sort of
Middle Age ascetic, lives in a log hut at
the head of Atean Pond on Moose River,
Main, six miles from his nearest neighbor,
an Irishman. He is an Englishman,
named Lockyere, 81 years old, and has
lived in this seclusion nineteen years,
cultivatiug little patch of ground, and
catching fish and game. His only COM
panions are six cats, with whom he lives
on terms of intimacy like Alexander
Selkirk. Some disappointment seems to
have sent him here, but he makes a
confident of no one, but says he is pss-
sessed of an immense estate in England,
and has made his will, which will astonish
the world when opened. He is now very
feeble and an object of pity; but to some
one who asked him if he was not lonely
he said, "No man is alone except God
hated him, and he pitied such person."
He is clothed in filthy rags, and, not
having bathed in years, his person is
encrusted in dirt.

JOHN HATFIELD, who has just died in
England at the age of 102, was a soldier
in the time of William and Mary. He
was tried and condemned to death for
sleeping on his post on the terrace of
Windsor. He absolutely denied the
charge and solemnly declared that, in
stead of sleeping on his post, he dis
tinctly heard the clock of St. Pauls strike
thirteen at midnight. The truth of this
was much doubted by the Court, because
of the great distance of ST. Paul's from
the post where he was stationed. While
under sentence of death affidavit was
made that the clock of ST. Paups did ac-
tually strike l3 instead of II upon that
night. Which circumstance saved his
life, and he was pardoned by His Majes-
fu

80 many epics have been written
on the death of the old year and
birth Of the new that il seems almost
plagiarism to say anything with ref
eremce to il, as il were idle to at
tempt to perpetrate new thoughts or
clorhe OLD ones in phrase not already
hackneycd. Yet a. one year, sue
ceeds another and we are brought
nearer to the grave, the recurrence
Of the holiday season and changing
of dates brings us to reflect upon
the fight Of time and TO remember
that smother year ID counted off from
the allotted number that each indi-
vidual is destined in the economy of
nature to enjoy or endure, as his
circumstances or disposition may
render life pleasure or a task while
iourneying in this lower world.
To morrow and to.morrw and Tomorrow. .
says the great poet,
Crecps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable OF recorded time"
Men fume and fret and feel that
their influence is being felt, that they
are revolutionizing time, annihilat-
ing space and improving on the
laws OF nature, but time rows stead
lily on the seasons come and go /;
men die and are forgotten others
spring up and take their places and
whatever may be our reflections,
our hopes or aspirations, = To-mor-
row and TO morrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day
to day" and from year to year, "to
the last syllable Of recorded time.
Let us not murmur that time is pass
ing on, the new succeeds the old, the
fresh future is constantly replacing
the musty past, and the bright bow
of hope ia still held up for our hap
piness. The year 1869 has been one
OF peace and extraordinary prosper
ity in our own fair land, and 1870
comes TO us under brighter auspices
than any Of its predecessors have
done in the history Of this nation, at
least, and perhaps since time began.
Yet let il bring veal or woe, it is
but single link in the great chain
Of ages, and whatever may be ac-
complishcd or neglected during the
brief period Of its continuance will
have no more significance in the final
reckoning Of the great achievements
of earth's grand drama than the fit
ting Of an idle moment in the affairs
Of human life.
It remains with the Individual e
be happy or miserable, and time
will not wait to correct the errors o.
the past. Let each one for him Of
hersslf begin the year 1870 with firm
resolution to secure by virtuous en-
desvor and honest purpose the great
est amount OF happiness possible
and not forget that in contributing
to the happiness Of others we secure
the greater amount TO ourselves, 81
