mistake By telling her that she appeared to
have the 'fGrecian Bendn or coEic stoop very
bad, and knowing that Plantation Bitters

grew wrathy and retorted By saying that he
was sickly, bilious looking Pill, and by

it is designed to make arrangements for re-

has recently been engaged in navigating the

the purpose of placing his boat on the Long
Tom trade; and on last Monday he was
heard from, six miles above Corvallis, still

SHADE TRKEs.-There is nothing that
beauties and adorns town more than
nice, thrifty shade trees and we are glad
10 see so much interest manifested in them
by our property holders generally. We no
tice that several persons have recently set
out shade trees. OF course this is right -
but they ought not to stop until they have
placed suitable box around them for their
protection. II they fail to do this, the
chances are as one to an hundred that they
will have to do their work over again be.
cause some of the Juveniles of the city catch
hold of them as they pass them and swing
their whole weight on them, thus preventing
them from taking root, or swapping the
young rOets already formed. We have also
seen two or three COWS that know how to ru-
in young tree to perfection. They first
bend the tree down with their heads and
'neCks and then carefully strip it of every
leaf and tender twig on it; and in doing all
this they also loosen its hold in the earth by
capturing the young roots that may have
formed. BY all means box your trees when
you set them out. You will find it real
economy.
