:. Cows AT A ;DIscoUNT.-We learn that
cattle owners in this valley are dispos-
ing of them at very low rates, in in
stances where the extent Of plow land
does not leave them sufficient pasturage.
We learn that the Bakers, who live, be-
low Eugene, have bought over two hum
dred head Of cows this winter at prices
ranging from Sc 75iper head to $40 per
head. These are a good average lot of
cows. The farmers in this vicinity have
been plowing up SO much land for wheat
that they have q lack Of pasturage and
to sell their cows for what they can get.
1t must be confessed that stock raising
is at lower ebb in this valley than here
tofore, but it can hardly get lower than
to have cows sold at prices above named.

"GoD IN THE CONSTITUTION. - The
question of amending tho preamble of
the Constitution of the United States so
as to recognize the Diety in the word
ing of the same, which has been dis
cussed by certain class Of religious en-
thusiasts for some time, has been at
least temporarily settled by the report
Of the House Judiciary Committee of
Congress. The committee after duly
celebrating on the subject, decided ad
versely othe claim of the petitioners as
follows:1 5 -
. Upon examination of the meagre de
bates by the fathers of the republic in
the Convention which framed the Con-
stitution, we find that the subject of this
memorialiwas most fully and carefully
considered, and that the Convention de-
cided, after grave deliberation to which
the subject was entitled, that as this
country, the foundation of whose Gov
ernment they were then laying, was to
be the home of the oppressed of all na-
tions of the earth, whether Christian or
pagan, and fully realizing the dangers
which the union between church and
state has imposed upon SO many nations
of the Old World, with great unanimity
decided that it was iinexpedient to, put
anything into the Constitution or frame
of government which might be constru-
ed to. be q reference to, any religious
creeds or doctrines; and we further, find
that this decision was accepted by our
Christian fathers with such great unani-
nifty that in the amendments which
were afterwards proposed in order to
make the Constitution more acceptable
to the nation, none has ever been pro-
posed to the States by which this wise
determination Of the fathers has been
attempted to be changed; wherefore your
committee report that it is inexpedi, mt
to legislate upon the subject of the me-
mortal, and ask that they be discharged
from the further consideration thereof

The WANDERING JEw.-This mythical
person who is supposed to wander up
and down the earth in obedience to a
curse placed upon his head by Christ. is
said to haye made his last appearance
in the year 1774, and as he makes h1m-
self visible in all parts of the earth once
in each century, the press has begun al
ready to talk of his coming. We clip
the following upon this subject from an
exchange: t'si s
''The strange, sad, weary figure of the
Wandering Jew has appeared in the vi-
cinity Of an obscure village near Ant
werp, at least so says ths Washington
Patriot, which, unlike the patriot Wash
ington, never received commendation
for cutting down a acherry tree with its
little hatchet. The Jew had bis staff
well in hand. was dressed in the cid
Roman costume, and not at all like the
old clo' man whom Dore painted; his
feet we're bare, and his long. white beard
swept the streets, and therefore was
looked upon as a boon by the simple
villagers. Adults fled from the weary
old man in alright, but children follow
ed him to the outskirts Of the town, ana
to them he made remarks on the state
of Europe, and made, among other ret
respective prophecies, the assertion that
Belgium, Holland and other States were
to be subjected to a ruler who had been
born. When these interesting prattlers
asked him his name, age and occupation
he did not call out upon them forty-two
bears, but mildly rebuked them, and
explained his position as tie champion
walker in the following awful words, at
the conclusion of which he 'took up his
plodding way and the children scam
pered back and pulled their mothers
aprons over their heads: Seek not to
know. have been here in the past. 1
shall be here in the future. Until the
end Of time shall I walk the earth un-
ceasingly." = ~ .'0 Y ~ t'H9''

The FALL OF STAES.-Forty Years ago
one night in the fall the stars fell from
heaven as a fig-tree casteth her untimely
ti0s to the earth when shaken with mighty
wind.
At that time the residence of the writer
of this article was some three miles north
east of the center of the town of Brimfield,
MassachuSettS-a town that doubtless de-
rived its original name from the circum-
stance that !; brim of large hills or small
mountains surrounded it. From my stand
point, | could look five miles in Il air line
across the hollow which presented splen-
did view of the mighty display of the work
ing of Almighty power.
In looking on level across the town,
the stars could be seen falling below that
level like great coarse snOw-fakes, with an
occasional one that would burst and stream
out several rods long with Il silver bright
ness flinging off flash like lightning of
the color of clotted blood, and kissing in
the damp air near the ground like a hot
iron drawn through water, and then mix
inc with the air Verify, thought we
should have an atmospheric fire to breathe.
The sight was sublime with its meditations
and forebodings This mighty display was
seen from this locality, from soon after
midnight without intermissiOn, till the blaZ-
ing light of day absorbed the view. One
thing worthy of notice | noticed during the
shower; it was so still that not a flicker
could be distinguished from the motion OF
any air affecting a candle carried out OF
doors at different times during the night,
This was conclusive evidence to me that
a tremendous storm of wind at least ragged
in the upper air or somewhere in the upper
regions of space. The night air during
this time was dry, moderately cold and
