DROWNED AT SEA.-Capt. Thomas
Simpson, late master of the fishing
schooner Shooting Star, which sailed
from this port on the 9Th of September
last, and on the 18th, while scudding
before heavy northwest gale, in lat.
40 SO north, long. 125 west, she was
boarded by two cross seas at the same
time which swept the deck, carrying
overheard Capt. Simpson, who was
lost. Every effort was made to save
him, but without success.
The Albany register. [volume] (Albany, Or.) 1868-18??, 1870-11-19
ARTICLE II.


So soon as the umpire shall have been ap-
pointed, the commissioners shall proceed with
out delay to examine the claims which may be
presented to them under this convention and
thep shall. if required, hear one person in be-
half of each government, on every separate
claim. Each government shall furnish, on
quest of either commissioner, all such docu-
ments and papers i'll its possession as may be
deemed important to the just determination of
any claim.
In cases where they agree TO award an in
demnity, they shall determine the amount to
be paid, and issue certificates of the same. In
cases where the commissioners cannot agree,
the point of difference shall be referred to the
umpire, before whom each of the commission
ers may be heard, and whose decision shall be
final.
The commissioners shall make such decision
as they shall deem, in reference to such claims,
conformable TO justice, even though such de-
cisons amount to an absolute denial of illegal
pretensions, since the including of any such in
this convention is not to be understood as
working prejudice in favor of any one; either
as to principles of sight or matters of fact.

This story of spunky widow come

This story of a spunky widow comes
from q local journal:
"Mrs. Arnold is widow in Malone,
New York, who tills her farm with her
own hands, whose barn was accident
ally burned, and who proposed to have
another one built. In consequence of
the advice of FREUD, she varied from
the usual custom. He supplied coffee,
tea, and good eatables to the laborers
who were to raise the frame, but no
whisky-the consequence of which
was that the men refused to go on
with the Hraising." The circum-,
stance was mentioned in three of the
local churches on Sunday. Fifty men,
women and boys visited the widow on
Monday ministers and farmers be-
came carpenters for the occasion.
Within few hours the barn was COM.
plete, double boarded all around, and
rooted i'm
A number of wags in the Prussian
army before Metz, whose fondness for
practical jokes had not gone under
amid the terrible carnage, crept during
the night to very advanced position,
and there planted an imitation battery
behind some ruins of destroyed farm
house. Beehives turned upside down
represented mortars, and stovepipes, !,
with the outward rims turned over so
as to look broad, were the cannon.
Some old uniforms hung on poles were
soldiers. In the morning the French
batteries opened terrific fire on the
supposed battery, and with such an eff
feet that soon not q vestige of it was
to be seen. Another great French VIC
tory can thus be bulle:ined from Tours.

The Northern Pacific Railroad, Con-
gress, and the Public Lands. ~ ~.

AMONG the great commercial move
ments that characterize and render not
able the present times, probably the most
important, both in amount of capital in
volved and in the character and extent of
anticipated results, is the building of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, with its
branches, feeders and connection. The
Suez Canal, constructed under the au-
spices of the French Government, cost
about sixty million dollars. The Union
Pacific Railroad, extending from Omaha
to Ogden, a distance Of 1899 miles, in
volved 8 necessary outlay of perhaps
forty million dollars, and the Central
Pacific, completing the line from Ogden
to Sacramento, T43 miles further, did not
cost more than an equal amount. The
Northern Pacific RAILROAD, controlled by q
single corporation. viii span the continent
from deep-water navigation on, Lake SUI
perior to tide-water ON the Columbia
itlver and Puget Sound---a distance of
about 1 ,750 miles; and the branches al
ready projected will increase the total
length of road-bed to nearly two thousand
five hundred miles. The cost of con-
struction and rolling stock will not. fall far
short of one hundred million dollars
1t is the comprehensive design of the
projectors of the Northern Pacific, not
simply to build railroad from lake to
ocean, and then wait for results, but to
render results certain by a. securing ia
vorable connections with the railroad
systems of the Pacific coast and the At
lantic States, and with the commerce of
the Pacific Ocean; CD by constructing a
series of lateral branch roads to the South
and North of its main line, which will
drain the entire Northwest between lati-
tude 40 and Central British Columbia !;
go and by organizing such. a, thorough,
wise and humane system of emigration
from Northern Europe and the thickly
peopled portions of our own country as
viii settle and render speedily productive
the vast belt of fertile lands tributary to
the read and extending across the CONT
nent. During the years occupied in its
CONSTRUCTION the road viii give employ
ment to thousands of men, and create g,
large demand for everything that our
people manufacture or produce.
1t is impossible that such an enterprise,
managedby the sort of men that control
this one, should not benefit the whole
country, while specially and vastly Befie.
ming the, region known as the Great
west. This greatest of commercial nro
Jects, viewed as g matter of national i'm.
port, Is entitled to the same hearty svm-
bstny and confidence that greeted the first
Pacific Railroad, and the recent attempts.

The Blood in Summer.

The blood deteriorates in hot weather Profuse
Precipitation depriyes 1t of portion of its nour-
ishing and reproductive properties. Consequent
ly in summer, the flesh loses in some degree its
firmness the muscles lack their usual elasticity
and vigcr, and the weight of the body diminishes.
These are clear indications that the ordinary sup
ply Of the DEMONSTRATING principle afforded by the
food we eat, isnot Sufficient to meet the require
ments Of the system, under a high temperature.
There is another reason for this besides the direct
influence OF the heat, W.: the loss OF appetite
and the weakening of the digestive powers which
1t occasions. Under these circumstances whole
some invigorant is evidently needed, and the best
and safest Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. TbIs
