rs handsome as ever.
We acknowledge n pleasant call from
Mr.. Buys, editor of the Eugene Guard
He thinks he'll know something about
us when we go to Eugene again to lee
ture, and we think that now he has be.
come personally and pleasantly ac.
ouainted with a consistent Human
Rights woman, he will be less boorish
than when we were in Eugene before
Call again, Bro. Buys.
We have made arrangements with
the publishers Of ArthuF's Home lfdqa-
zine by which, on receipt of 81 so, we
will be enabled to send the NEW NORTH
WEST and Home Magazine each for one
year, accompanied by large and ele-
CANT steel engraving, entitled the
"Wreath of Immortelles.n This picture
was engraved as a special premium for
Arthur'S Home Magazine, and its retail
price is S6 90.
We had the pleasure of seeing the
outline of an original oil painting Of
Mount Hood and surrounding scenery
in the office of Gen. C. A. Reed, of Sa-
lem, few days since. The painting is
four by six feet. 1t has been ordered by
parties in this city, and will cost $500.
Judging from the outline of the paint
ing and the well merited fame of the ar
tist, we look for this production to be of
far more than ordinary excellence.
S. J. Mccormick, Esq, will deliver a
lecture at Philharmonic Hall on Thurs
day evening, 18th inst, for the benefit of
st. Mary's Church, at Corvallis. The
subject will be ''The Superstitions of
Ireland, their Origin and Beauty u
Members ofthe CatholicC Choir will render
some choice vocal selections at the OPEN
ing and close of the lecture. Mr.. McCor-
mick will intersperse the lecture with
appropriate Irish songs.
The Oregon & California Railroad
Company give notice that a vigorous
prosecution VIII be instituted against
any and every person who tresspasses
upon any railroad land, by cutting and
removing timber therefrom before the
same is bought of the Company and
paid for. All vacant lands, so says the
notice, in odd numbered sections,
whether surveyed or unsurveyed, with
in distance of thirty miles from the
line of the road, belongs to the Company.
Send us S. 90 and secure a weekly
visit from the NEW NORTHWEST and a
one from Denloresfs Purlor
Magazine for one year, and depend upon
t. ladies, you will not regret the in
7estment. The fact that the NEW
NORTHWEST is awakening so much in
crest with Eastern publications as to
ause them to make magnanimous Of
ers for our mutual benefit gives our
eaders an idea of the estimate that
lrst-class periodicals place upon our
ournal for the People.
