For A FEW PERSONS To READ
Don't make fool Of yourself by get
ting mad when a bill Is presented to
you. There is nothing wrong In 1t.
Hundreds and thousands of men quite
as good as yourself have had bills
presented to them and did not feel in
suited thereby. Even IL there is
mistake i'm the bill, ii is better to ask
calmly for an explanation. than to get
in a towering rage about it and threaten
the withdrawal of your patronage.
The best of men make mistakes some
times, and there are very few in busi-
ness who will not cheerfully correct
mistake and thank you for pointing it
out.
If you can't pay when your bill Is
presented, and the fault is yours, then
you ought to feel angry at yourself
but there is no more sense in getting
''mad' on the presentation of q bill
than to fly into passion when your
neighbor extends I'd you the compli-
ments of the season. 1t exposes n
weakness which is not commendable
in any one.
SOME one laid down the following
rules for ''pizened' people, and think
ing it might come handy to some one,
some time, we give it: .If a person
swallows any poison whatever, or has
fallen into commissions from having
overloaded the stomach, an instan-
taneous remedy, more efficient and
applicable in large number Of cases
than any half dozen medicines we can
now think of, is Bheaping teaspoon of
common salt, and as much ground
mustard, stirred rapidly in teaeup Of
water, warm, or cold, and swallowed
instantly. Il is scarcely down before
it begins to come up, bringing with IL
the remaining contents of the stomach,
and lest there be any remnant of
poison, however small, let the white OF
of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee,
be swallowed as soon as the stomach
is quiet, because these very common
articles nuiiify larger number Of viru-
lent poisons than any medicines in
the shop"
FIRE.-Last Monday night the fine
residence of J. b. Sprenger, in this
city, was burned. The origin of the
fire is not certainly known. It was
occupied by the family of n. b.
Sprenger, who have been living in it
but short time. The building and
lots were under mortgage to the school
fund for 81 500, and are advertised
to be sold under Sheriff7s execution
On the 22d inst. By the superhunan
exertions of the fire company the fire
WAS quenched before the building was
entirely destroyed, but it is perfectly
useless until almost completely re-
built. Loss about $4,000.
PHNNIx-ED.-McCo Cormick, "The
Great'-the pioneer bookseller and
chief fire-suferer of Oregon, has "riz"
out of the ashes of the late Portland
coIIfiagrations and although, being
purified by fire he is not discouraged,
but, head and caudal attachment ele-
waited, (vide horse talkD he is again
ready TO sell Books and Stationery at
lowest rates. Read his advertisement,
and don't fail to remember that he is an
agreeable and reliable gentleman, and
fully worthy of patronage. Everybody
ought to pafronize a fire-suferer be-
cause they might Ego there their
selves" sometime. Don't it?
DEAD.-Rev. Joab Powell, the old
est preacher in years and probably the
oldest in experience, on the Pacific
Coast, died at his house in the Forks
of the Sartiam, on the 25fh alt. He
was an eccentric preacher, but good
old man and an unwaverfng Christian.
He leaves numerous relationship,
and a fourishfng church built up BY
his own efforts, all of which must naiss
his society and mourn his loss. May
he rest in peace. :.
