TO SUBSCRIBERS.

In common with editors and other
modest and dif1ident folks, we do dislike
to dun; but when dunning becomes a
necessity, We think the quickest way 1t
can be done is the most satisfactory,
both TO dunned and dunner. So now,
friends, all who know yourselves in
debted to the NEW NORTHWEST, please
do not force this disagreeable job upon
US again, but remit at once the sum due
this Office. The new postal law goes
into effect the first of January. We
cannot furnish papers and prepay post
age to those in arrears; and reckoning
neatness among the cardinal virtues,
We are shocked to think of the begrimed
appearance our mailing books will pre-
sent after the first of January, if delin-
quents do not promptly respond to this
reminder We shall be sorry, indeed,
to scratch names from our books, but
we must have what is due US to pay for
paper, presswork, and type-setting, or
we must retrench 10y cutting off papers.
Numerous friends in various localities
have shown their appreciation Of the
situation by remitting the amount nee
essary to prepay the postage on their
papers for the ensuing year. To those
who have not done as we would respect
fully and earnestly say, Go thou and do
likewise

Rev. Geo. III. Chandler is in fair way
to recover from the paralytic stroke, by
which he was prostrated a few weeks
ago. He was a few days subsequent to
the attack, conveyed to his home at
Forest Grove, where rest, quiet, good
nursing and efficient medical attend
ance are slowly restoring his shattered
health. He is able to walk about his
room with assistance, and although he
has not yet recovered his speech, it is
thought he will do so after time We
hope ere many weeks to be able to re-
port his return to his usual health.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The establishment of n reform school
in this county has been spoken of for
several years past, and has from timSto
time received the careful consideration
of persons in this city and vicinity, who
believe in reformatory measures to pre-
vent crime, rather than the infliction Of
penalties to punish it. These ideas have
finally assumed shape, and preliminary
steps have been taken by charitable and
Christian gentlemen, TO organize re-
form school, where youthful offenders
may be subject to a wholesome restraint,
and at the same time be surrounded by
influences that will lead them into bet
ter ways.
From the 44dUOcdte we learn that fifty
acres of land near the city have been Sc
cured, and all the legislative action nee
essary taken, and that when a proper
time arrives, other Christian men Of
wealth stand ready to aid with their
means the projected enterprise. Weare
sure that all persons who desire the
public veal, and deplore the various
causes that lead to the formation of
criminal practices in the young, will
cordially endorse the sentiment ex-
pressed by the editor of the paper
quoted, when he says that "the idea OF
putting children who have violated law
in the common prison with experienced
felons of the blackest dye is something
at once revolving and unchristian."
The severest punishments are not al
ways the most salutary, even with chill
dren of full growth, and their pernicious
effects upon those who are young in
years, are too well known to require
proof. a wise and judicious system
that will tend to remove causes rather
than punish effects is what is needed to
cut off the supply of recruits that are
yearly marshaled into the ranks oil
hardened criminals from the forces oI
youthful offenders. The primal sin oi
selfishness, inherent in the human
heart, needs to be overcome by a charity
that will loosen the purse-strings Of

CHRISTMAS DAY.

The swiftly revolving cycles have
again brought to US the annual season of
rejoicing, and all over the land is heard
once more the magic words, "Peace OH
earth, good will to men," More than
eighteen hundred years have passed
since the angel appeared to the shep-
herds who watched their hocks 0y night
upon the plains Of Bethlehem, and pro-
claimed the "glad tidings of great joy,"
whose echoes are yet heard above the
din and strife of the centuries and still
we find this anniversary celebrated by
deeds of charity, kindness and love.
The forms Of its observance have greatly
changed as the years have been quietly
added to the ages, but through all these
changes we still find that its return
opens the fountains of good will and
charity which exist in the human
heart. In proof Of this there stand to.

LETTER FROM WALLA WALLA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW Northwest:
IT may, perhaps. be of interest to
yourself and some of your numerous
readers to hear u word from this favored
spot. will begin with that inevitable
and inexhaustible topic, the weather,
and tell you first of all that our winter
is delightful. Even chronic growlers
hang their heads and maintain q forced
silence. Many things are more abun-
dant than last year. This is especially
true of eggs and butter, which have thus
far failed to put OH holiday prices. True,
in the early autumn the hens were ap-
parently on strike certain it is that
they shirked their duties to an extent
that brought eggs up to 90 cents per
dozen. Recently, however, they seem
to be more mindful of their response
bilities, and their fruit is plentiful at %
cents per dozen.
AS Christmas approaches, donations
are in order; charitable institutions ask
for aid; churches for support, and desti-
tute families and individuals appeal
through kind and benevolent ladies for
help. Our people are as a class liberal,
yet here as elsewhere, men of ample
means are to be found who turn the cold
shoulder to objects of charity, and an
swer appeals for aid with an empty
groan. God help the poor, and prosper
those who send them not away empty
handed.
The year which is about to close has
been remarkable one in this section of
the country for the number of deaths
that have taken place. Many who babe
glad welcome to 1874, when she came
heralded by the ringing of bells and the
glad acclaim of happy hearts, watch
not with us the last sands fall from her
hour-glass, and live on earth only in
memory.
Business is not as brisk as i'm some for
mer years, but seems to be firmer.
There will, think, be less of bank
ruptcy and failure than heretofore, as
people begin to look upon a cash system
as the true financial basis. Still we feel
the urgent need of safe, speedy and sub
stantial outlet. "Give us this day q
railroad," would make suitable sup
plement to our usual devotions.
Our last sensation in these parts was a
'corn DOCTOR" who went about doing
good (tohimself) Having been for a num-
Der of years annoyed with corn croI
that was at once plentiful and tender, ]
applied to him for relief, but with i'll

thing except suicide, so at last in my
anguish and desperation, l got married
for the third time Whether it was this
dear remedy that proved efiactual, OF
the credit be properly due to the tar,ly
effects of "ye corn doctor's' manipula-
tions, | am unable to say, hut certain il
