in March, 1847, raised him to the rank
of Brigadier General. He served with
honor in most of the battles which
were fought between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City, and on the restoration Of
peace between the two countries, re-
signed his commission and returned
home, where he remained, compare
lively unobserved, until the action of
the Baltimore Democratic Convention
placed him in nomination as their
candidate for tho Presidency. He was
elected President Of the United States
in November, 1852, which Office he
filled with distinction and purity until
the Inauguration of james Buchanan,
in 1866, after which he again retired
to private life and sought quiet and
repose until he was summoned to join
his fathers in the Great Unknown
Peace to his ashes. The memory ot
his services will long remain i'll the
hearts of his grateful countrymen.

DEATH OF FRANKLIN PIERCE.

The telegraph announces the death
of Ex-President Franklin Pierce, Mt
his home in Concord, New Hamp-
shire, on Friday, the sth instant, aged
65 years. Another one of the states
men of the purer and better days of
the Republic gone to his rest--another
link broken in the golden chain which
bound us to our nations former pros
perity and greatness. They are fast
passing away, and in few years more
earth will see the last of that noble
galaxy Of statesman who were identi-
fed with almost all that was once
good and great in our now tottering
Government.
Franklin Pierce was born in Hills
borough, New Hampshire, in 1904,
and, after completing his academical
studies, entered Bowdoin College.
Maine, on leaving which he commenced
his legal studies at Northampton
Mass, but subsequently returned to
his native State and finished his stud
les at Amherst. He was admitted to
the bar and commenced the practice OF
his profession in his native town: but
before the end of two years he was
elected Representative in the. State
Legislature, and during his second
years service was chosen Speaker
of the House. lin 1888 he was elected
to Congress, and remained member
Of the House of Representatives for
four years. In 1887 he was elected to
the United States Senate, but after
five years service in that body, resign
ed his seat and settled in Concord, re-
suming the practice of law. He adj
hered to his resolution of accepting no
political Office, declining to be can
didate for Governor or q. S. Senator,
and refusing the Offices of Attorney
General and Secretary of War, which
were rendered him by President Polk.
On the breaking out of the Mexican
war, however, he enrolled himself as O
private in the New England Regiment,
but President Polk sent him Colo
nePs commission, and subsequently,

THE CARE OF ORPHANS.

Orphan asylums-plaees where un.
cared for children are provided for in
uiasses-have hcret0rof1re been consid
cred as one OF the necessary cvllsoi crowd
ed communities. Happily Oregon has
thus far found no necessity for such an
institution and owing 10 our sparse pop
ulalion and aboundIng plenty,is nos like
ly to, for years TO come. In writing this
we arc not ignorant Of the fact that u
bulling of this character has been erec
ted in the State, aud that Que child is he.
ing board therein. But the fact that
there is but one, and that the months
elapsing since the public dedication of the
building and baptism OF the little unior-
tunate has added not another, amply yer.
ifies what we say-that yet no such in.
stitution is needed, or not likely speedily
TO be. Here, at least. all the indigen,
orphans we shall have for years to come
can usually find families wiling to adopt
and provide for them-families in which,
as rule. they will be better reared
and more kindly treated than they would
be in the average orphan asylum.
But this is not wha, we set out to say :
it was that new and better mode of pro.
|. viding for the orphan is thought to have
been discovered. Herdng great numbers
Of children together in asylums has been
ever confessed to be an evil, yet it was
thought TO be an unavoidable one 1t is
an unnatural way Of raising children, and
sends them out upon the world unnatural
men and wemen--devoid tho affection
and better elements of character which
the institution of family cnltivates
Realizing this evil in Germany. some
eight years ago, the experiment of board
ing the orphans in private families, gen
orally but one in place,fwas tried, and
with such favorable results, that within
the last two years Massachusetts has
adopted the plan with portion of her
orphaned BARNS thrown upon the bounty
Of the State. And 10 both States the
