THE UMPQUA VALLEY.

According to the report of Col. r. S.
Williamson made to Congress of the
survey of the Umpqua, the valley con
tains about $500 voters. The area of
the valley is 965,680 acres, divided
into 46 townships, Of which fully one
third is good arabic land, and the re-
mainder grassy hills and timber land,
mostly oak openings There is besides
this large amount of unsurveyed land,
which is good for pasturage. The ex-
ports of the valley for the present year,
consisting of wool, bacon, lard, &c,
amounted to 1000 tons the imports
800 tons. This has heretofore been
hauled over bad wagon road, for which
teamsters charged $40 per ton.

was to ascertain the probable cost oI

TEMPERANCE.

We notice in the Oregonidn of
Wednesday an address to the friends of
temperance throughout the State,
showing in brief some of the evils of
intemperance, aud calling on the friends
of the temperance cause to meet in Sa-
lem on the 10th of June next. The fol-
lowing is an extract from their address :
"The object of this Convention will
be to compare notes, discuss principles,
to secure concert of action on the part
of the different temperance elements in
our State, and to devise measures for
the enactment of such laws as will as
sist in driving the tempter from our
land We would especially urge upon
all Ecclesiastical bodies. Temperance
organizations, etc., to send delegates,
and upon all temperance men and
women. not connected with such organ
izations, to meet at such times and
places as may best suit them, and
choose delegates who will assist with
their counsels aud views.
Let US come together as citizens hay-
ing the best interests of our Young
State and the future triumph of the
temperance cause at heart, and secure
a united and determined action on the
part Of the co>workars in this reform.

THE LOITERER.

In all towns, either large or small,
may be found men with nothing to do,
or more properly speaking, doing moth
ing. Some with dreams of future
greatness, passing away their time
wishing for some avenue to open to
them the road to eminence and fame,
seem not to realize the fact that to the
brave alone belong the spoils. In a
country like ours, there is no royal road
to emiDence, no pathway to fame which
is barred to the passage of anyone with
the vim and energy to travel it. All
that is necessary is to be up and doing !;
show that you have the grit, and you
will soon find someone to admit that.
and you need not be surprised if in a
short time you hear some parties hint
ing that you have a fair showing OF
genius. But it will never do to be
lettering. Be up and doing. Do some,
thing; do it well, and do it now wait
not for someone else work upon your
own responsibility depend upon your
own resources; learn self dependence
at once. It is well to have due regard
for public opinion, but it will not do tc
make that opinion your guide. Re
member that whatever is conducive t.
the best interests of mankind, is a jus
and proper standard. to govern ane

The County Paper.


How often do we meet with persons
who will not take the County Paper
because it does NOT come from large
city, and because it does not contain as
much reading matter as the city paper
does? But few seem to comprehend
the facts in the case. In the first place,
none of the city papers are furnished
for less price than the county paper,
and most Of them for more. If they
are obtained at less than their published
single subscription price, it is by iorm-
ing clubs; and invariably the order, for
clubs or single copies, must be accom>
panied by the money, which is seldom
done by the county paper.
Few persons seem to realize that ii
costs the publisher of county paper
the same to set his type that it does the
publisher in the city. After the type
iis.set, the difference is merely for blank
paper and press work, which is mere
,trife; and the paper with 5000 sub
,scribers can better afford to issue for s.
per copy, than the paper with 1000 can
for So. Then the question which under
lies all this should be, not only in which
shall [ get the most reading matter
But which works the most for my inter
est, and the material interest of the
community in which / live In settling
this question, each should ask himself
the question-Does the city paper say
anything of onr own county ?-compar.
ative!y nothing. They contain no no.
tices OF public meetings, schools,
churches, marriages, and hundred and
one other things. which the county pa.
per publishes without pay. 1t is not
devoted to our own individual interests,
and cannot be, from the distance it is
from as, and the demand which the
community in which it is published has
upon it. 1t must be plain. therefore,
that the persen who supports the county
paper is supporting the best interests of
the community, provided the paper is
what it should be. And the person who
takes the city paper simply because it
is larger aud contains more matter, is
like tho man who bought the largest
pair OF boots in the box, in preference
to the pair which fit him, simply to
get the most for his money.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.

Messrs. Howard, Of Bedford, Eng.
land, have recently invented u marine
steam engine, which promises to do
much towards annihilating distance,
and bringing men neaskr unto men.
The first vessel, the Fairy Dell,
fitted with their ingenious contrivance,
lately made trip from London to Var
mouth, when IT was found that a run OF
about eighteen miles occupied eighty
minutes also, that the coal consumed
was 500 lbs. The average steam pres
sure was from 40 to $50 lbs. on the
square inch. From this data it may be
inferred that the fairy Dell would burn
only about half as much coal as a vessel
with engines and boilers of the usual
kind.
An English contemporary, comment
ing on this performance, observes:
I" Let it be supposed that an ordinary
steamship would require 800 tons of
coal for her voyage to China and back
She would take, say 1000 tons, at los.
per ton in the north, and would buy
800 tons in the Chinese ports at 40s.
per ton, thus spending 81 500 in coal.
\ vessel with engines aud boilers like
those of the Fairy Dell would need only
$50 tons for the double voyage. She
would obtain the whole Of this in the
north at los per Ton (G375), thus
eifeeting saving of Gl, l25 in money,
and increasing the available tonnage for
freight by 25S tons OH the voyage
home"
No doubt, a quarter of century
hence, science will have advanced far
enough in this direction to enable US to
run to Europe easily within week

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Arrest Decay.-When plant OF tree be-
gins to decay It must die. It cannot be re-
vitalized. But it is not so with human beings.
A human ruin can be repaired, strengthened
restored, though brown leaf or a withered
blade Of grass can never be made green again.
In tho autumn Of life. or even in its winter.
when nature seems TO be giving way under
the pressure Of years. it is still possible to re-
iard the progress Of decay. and to lend to age
more than its wonted vigor. As a means Of
promoting this object. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is unquestionably the most potent Of
all restoratives. 1t will not make the old
young. but it will prevent, lessen. or sooth
the inhrmities which are the usual accom-
paniments Of the decline Of life. For debility
and a lack Of nervous power. from whatever
cause arising. il is the medicine that Of all
others before the world. best deserves the
name Of a .pecifc. In purity, in invigorating
properties. in it, adaptation TO weak stomaehs
and feeble organizations. II has no competitor
among the tonics Of the pharmaeopeia, nor
among proprietary remedies. Besides its
strengthening principle. it possesses altera-
tive and regulating properties Of the highest
order. and as an anti-bilious medicine is far
preferable to any Of the preparations contain
ing mercury. Time has shown that for physi-
cal decay. nervous debility. dyspepsia, bilious
disorders. and intermittent fever, Hostetter's
Biiters is q remedy without a rival. tbs is
the season Of the fall Of the leaf let it re-
mind the old. the feeble. the siekly, TO invig-
CRATE and regulate their systems with this
great vegetable tonic and alternative.

Tbe woman VINO Never Grow. o,d


A good woman never grows old. Years
may 90 over her head, but if benevolenle
and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring Of life FIRST
opened to her view. When we look upon
good woman we never think Of her
age-she looks as charming as when the
rose Of youth first bloomed upon her
cheek. That rose has not faded yet; il
will never fade In her neighborhood
she is the friend and benefactor, ia the
church the devout worshiper and exem-
plary Christian. Who does not love aud
respect the woman who has passed her
DAYS in acts Of kindness and mercy
who has been the friend Of man and
God-whose whole life has been a scene
Of kindness and love, a devotion Of love
and religion2 Werepeat, such a woman
cannot grow old. She will always be
fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active
in humble deeds Of mercy and benevo-
lence. If the young lady desires to re
tain the bloom and beauty Of youth, let
her not yield to the sway Of fashion and
folly: let her love truth and virtue and
TO the close Of life she will retain those
feelings which row make life appear a
garden Of sweets ever fresh and ever
new.
