NJ. S. Hart, the absconding railroad
contractor, who was recently arrested in
San Francisco by Thos. G. Young, L. S.
Marshal for Oregon, is now domiciled in
the county Jail, awaiting his trial in the
Z. s. District Court for perjury and
fraud under the bankrupt act. The
Herald says that Hart left this city
with at least $1,000 of his ill-gotten
gains, but, unfortunately for his credit
ors, the Marshal was unable to obtain
but $50 dollars of that sum. 1t is prob
ably in the hands of confederate, who

crayed for himself
The prospects for crops in Yamhill
county are very promising. Farmers
everywhere are busy with their plows
and drills and harrows; and women,
with rosy cheeks, are digging up their
flower gardens and beautifying their
cozy homes. We saw a sulky plOw in
successful operation on the farm of
Amos Cook, which looks to us like the
perfection of plowing personified. This
lord of the soil sat upon an elevated
seat, well cushioned and comfortable,
and with the lines that guided four
horses held loosely in his right hand,
leaving the left to manage a lever, with
which he adjusted the plow to the
proper depth for the furrow, he sat and
rode in ease and dignity, while the
sleek sod rolled over like thing of life
and smothered down the springing
grass, whose death and decomposition
are TO furnish life and susteDance for
wheat and oats and barley. Who
wouldn't be farmer if they could ride
a sulky plow?

OUR SECOND VOLUME.

The season is now near at hand when
many hundreds of our subscriptions to
the NEW NORTHWEST viii expire. We
urge upon our friends everywhere the
Importance of Immediately renewing
their subscription fees. a little effort
aolg upon the part of each Of our numer-
Gus readers will enable us to start out
with the Second Volume with debts all
Cancelled and in the enjoyment of safe
financial prospects for the future. We
could then bring a light heart to our
work, to which, since we took up the
load of financial care that a large news
paper business requires, we have been a
stranger. There are also yet many de-
linquents upon our list-men and women
who have regularly enjoyed the products
of our toll for the past year, and yet neg
lect TO pay for their paper. To all such
we say in respectful solicitude, ace need
the money. The sum Of three dollars is
small to each Of yoa, but the aggregate
indebtedness of several hundred delin-
auents makes a sum Of much import
ance TO Us. We trust that this call will
noe be passed unheeded. We have toiled
diligently at dress-making, millinery,
lecturing, story writing, editorial work
and canvassing, doing faithfully the
work Of half a dozen to keep up the ex-
penses Of the paper, and our strength is
severely over-taxed; and We now ask
our friends, one and all, to cheerfully
put shoulder to the wheel and help US
through the Second Volume, which
shall be in all respects superior to the
first

That Terrible Comet,


A few weeks since Swiss newspaper
informed its readers that NJ. Plantamour,
an astronomer of extraordinary skill,
had predicted the arrival next August,
of comet which would come in col
lision with the earth. 1t is understood
that this story has produced considerable
uneasiness in Europe, among the unset
entific and credulous people who put
faith in their newspapers, and unless
the fictitious character of both NJ. Plan
tamOur and his comet be established,
there are multitudes who will watch
uneasily for the coming of the fiery
stranger.
Years ago, the dread of a acometary col
lision was quite common. The comet
was then supposed to be wholly indie
pendent body, which in utter scorn OF the
planetary timetable ran its erratic course
needless of the safety of itself and OF the
planets. Since then we have learned
that the comets of our solar system are
as regular in their habits as our oldest
and steadiest planets, and that they are,
for the most part, constituted of such
tenuous vapOr that a collision between
the largest of them and the earth would
be imperceptible, except i'm the form Of o
slight increase in the haziness of the at
mOsphere. 1t is true that adegree OF ir-
resolution is sometimes shown by these
bodies-as in the case of the susceptible
comet which was detained in its route by
the destinations of the moons of Jupiter
still it was conceded that this particu-
lar comet intended no violence, but, like
a very young man who meets n bevy of
pretty boarding school girls taking the
air together, was induced to pause in
admiration until the seductive moons
were led away by their matronly planets.
The comet of NJ. Plantamour is not,
however, one of the tanned, domesticated,
and eminently respectable comets Of our
system, but wild and dangerous wan
derer from the interstellar wilderness.
OF its constitution, whether gaseous or
solid, it is vet impossible to judge, but
we are assured that it is of enormous
size, and is heading directly toward the
earth. Should it consist of burning hy-
drogen, IL would hardly fail to add very
unpleasantly to the heat of August,
while, if it is a solid body, it will un-
doubtedly smash the earth to pieces, and
convert it into scores of small meteOric
bodies.-!N Y Times.

THIS TRULY WONDERFUL MEDICINE
Il Is warranted TO eNpel all worms from the
Bowels and stomach, except Tape and Chain
Worms
The proprietor has taken much pains to test
the comparative merits OF the principal Worm
Medicines of the day, which, numerous the
EntozOa themselves, have oversprcad the
land, each claiming for itself the name OF spe-
cific; and, while we frankly acknowledge that
many OF them are often successful, and do great
good, were we not assured that this combines
advantages possessed BY no other worm medi
cine, its Introduction at this late day would not
have been attempted.
The pleasant taste and exceedingly small
quantity of this medicine required TO test the
existence OF worms, or 10 remove every one
unaided by any other purge, together with its
certainty OF effect constitute II one OF the most
brilliant discoveries of the age.

might be adduced 10 show its progressive and

years; but TO promulgate Its fame and estab-
lish its character, we only ask for a trial.

There are many people who hardly FIJI
their lungs once i'm n year as full as they
can hold with pure air. In consequence
they become liable, like any other half
exercised organ, to contract disease.
This may be prevented by the following
simple exercise: On rising from bed in
the morning, stand up straight, throw
the head back, and inhale all the air you
can; now breathe slowly out, throwing
your arms behind you. Repeat these
long breaths few times every morning,
and you will lmueh diminish your chance
of having consumption.

From the Oregonian.l
The Woman Question" Discussed at La
fayette.

LAFAYETTE, Oregon, April I6, 1872.
To the Editor of The Oregonian-|
Sir: Mrs. Duniway has been holding
forth in this busy little burg for four
evenings on the "Woman
Question:" attracting the largest audi
ences ever known to assemble nightly in
the place. She has been assisted by
Boise, Sullivan, Watts and the "Oregon
Baby" while her principal opponents
have been preacher named COldwell,
who told some prurient stories, and
Newby's "goos," the ''shyster'' lawyer
Of San Francisco Police Court notoriety,
who succeeded in rendering the opposi-
ton Odious in the minds of the respecta-
bic portion of the community who
might otherwise have remained advo-
Gates Of exclusive man suffrage. At the
close of Mrs. DIS last lecture, Newby's
COOS came forward and declared that
If the women were enfranchised, they
and the men would all get drunk at
elections together; that woman's nature
was easily led astray, and that but for
the legislation of man to keep her de-
cent, all of them would become prosti-
tutes. Mrs. ID. arose and said that she
did not propose to discuss this great
principle of human rights from Police
Court standpoint with "shyster'i law
yers. If Lafayette could not produce
respectable opponents to the movement,
such men as Newby must hold mans
rights meetings on their own response
bility. Immense applause
Mrs. Jacobs was called to the stand,
and she proceeded in polite and wom-
anly manner to annihilate the "goos, -
who, it is hoped, will know his station
hereafter and keep it.
Mrs. Burbank aud Mrs. Martin made
short addresses during the progress oi
the meeting; also number of gentle
men, whose names are omitted in this
report. Altogether, il was the most in
teresting succession of meetings evel
held in Lafayette. A SPECTATOR.
