From the Worlds Dispensary Printing Office
and Bindery, Buffalo, N. Y, we have received
The Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
by R. V. Pierce, M. D., Counselor-in-chief
of the Board of Physicians and Surgeons at
the Worlds Dispensary. Whoever helps hui
mainly in it's struggle with it's inherent weak
ness and diseases, to bear or cure, is it's ben
efactor. Ignorance is not only of itself a
cause OF disease and mortality, but it is the
enemy of every effort to cure or mitigate.
Nothing will so speedily remove this csdse
as knowledge Gan elementary one at lesst) of
the diseases to which we are heir as we'll as
those superinduced by our own imprudence.
Dr. Pierce has rendered, in our judgment, q
benefactor's service, both to the afflicted and
to the profession, in his diagnosis of the dis
eases treated of, and in the presentation Of
philosophic principles involved in their cause
and removal. He is sparing of remedies, and
usually prescribes such as safe in unskilled
hands. AS book merely of abstract knowl-
especially the following SUBJECTS Cerebral
Physiology, Human Temperaments. Pseudo
Hygiene, the Nursing of the Sick, Sleep, Food,
Ventilation. etc. In one chapter On another
subject, so delicate in it's nature that it is shut
up beyond the demain of warning to all but
physicians. so accursed in it's results in mod
ern society. he is most explicit, and alike true
to God, to virtue, to kfe and to society," shows
the truth as preserved in the teachings of
Scripture, -that life begins with conception,
with great force, TO which is added faithful
warnings.

Soft Soap as a weapon of Defense

ssSoft-soap" was FIRST most effectually
applied in this country by the Swedish
women who defended the old Qog)
Swedes' church below Philadelphia
before the city was laid out. A friend
~ squaw gave notice of the intended
attack. The Scandinavian ladies were
boiling soap, and they at cnce con-
cluded to convert the contents Of the
kettle into ammunition of defense.
They lifted it into the church, with fire.
wood to keep it hot. AS the warriors
began to undermine the foundations,
they received on their barred backs a
spirited fire of the terrible material.
which in due time sent them bowling
into the wilderness. The incident was
related by participant who died in
London at an advanced age. She was
a granddaughter of the Swedish burgh-
er, Suen Schulz.

Thompson, Installed the officers elect
of Albany Lodge No. 4. I.O.O.F., on
Wednesday night. As an Installing
officer, brother Thompson excels, and
under his charge the beautiful and
impressive ceremonies were splendiClly
rendered. The hall was crowded with
members of the order and their friends,
quite number of visitors being in at
tendance from Jefferson, Corvallis,
Lebanon, and other points. After the
installation, Past Grand, j. F. Back
ensto, was called for, came forward,
and delivered a short but most elo-
quent speech, that was received with
tumultnous applause. Then came adj
journment when fun commenced, in
which old and young. grave and gay,
participated with a zest that added
color to the cheek and brilliancy to
the eye. s'Chase the Squirrel, -
'tBlind Man. and various other new
ana unique games were indulged In
and hugely enjoyed. The fun grew
fast and furious, and it was not until
the clock had chimed the midnight
hour that the crowd thought of dis
persing. 1t was a pleasant occasion,
and we believe was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present.

A MOURNFUL STORY. - As DIR.
Linsey Hill was returning to this city
from across the Calipooia, where he
had been to vista patient, on Wednes-
day evening, right in the middle of the
road where the mud was almost un-
fathomable, the bolt that fastens the
double-tree to the tongue broke, which
fact was communicated instantly, APP
parently, to the game little team the
Doctor drives, for, before he coud say
scat, they were off like shot, leav-
ing their owner sitting there in the
buggy alone, amid dreary waste of
mud and water, and were soon out of
sight-we mean the team. Our read
ers would probably like to know what
befel the DIR. afterwards, but 1t is an
unsolved conundrum to us. DwelIers
in that part of the country report find
ing hat, an old pipe and piece of a
paper collar floating around on that
sea OF mud, but ali traces of the buggy
have disappeared. and we are left in
doubt as to the finale of this beautiful
little incident.

A NEW INvENTIoN.-It will be re-
membered that DIR. E. O. Smith made
a trip to Washington City some
months ago, for the purpose of secur-
ing patents for several new inventions
which he had perfected. Among other
things, he obtained a patent for taking
the bite in dental operations, and made
arrangements with a New York firm
for their manufacture. On Tuesday
he exhibited to us one of the instru-
ments and explained its uses. The
great trouble with toothless people
seems to be that they cannot shut their
jaws straight when under the hands of
the dentist; and from this tact the
dentist has serious troRble i'm getting
set of teeth to '.fit'' naturally. This
Instrument is intended to overcome
this trouble. as. when in its place, it
compels the jaws to come together
naturally. 1t is handsomely made,
and will doubtless meet with an i'm
mense sale.

FEARFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH
Again it becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the sudden and awful death
of an old and respected citizen of Linn
county, Mr.. William Mansfield, who
was found lying on the ground, short
distance above the railroad bridge
across the Willamette near Harrisburg,
on Sunday afternoon, January Sd.
We give the circumstances of the case
as we learn them. Some time ago,
Mr.. VIM. Mansfield, the deceased,
purchased piece of land, just above
the railroad bridge on the river, within
short distance of the thriving village
of Harrisburg. and as we understand,
had moved his family upon it and
gone to work clearing It of timber,
and getting it ready for the plow. On
"Wednesday last his wife and family
started on visit to a son-iil-law's,
who lived several miles away, with
the intention of remaining several
days. On Thursday, just after dinner,
Mr.. Mansfield passed the bridge on
his way to his farm, where he was at
that time engaged in chopping cord
wood. About half past twelve O'Clock
of Thursday, Mr.. Paul Robinson, at
the bridge, heard tree fall, and not
hearing thereafter the stroke of the
AK, he supposed Mansfield had gone TO
his son-in-laws, where Lis family were.
On Friday, Hiram Smith, on his way
to junction City, enquired of Paul
Robinson, "'Where's Uncle Billy?'
and was told by Robinson that he sup
posed he had gone to his son-in-law's,
as he had not heard the ring of his ak
nor seen anything of him since noon
of the day before. On Sunday after
noon gentleman came from Harris
burg to the bridge, enquiring for Mans
field. To him Robinson repeated what
he had told Hiram Smith on Friday.
A coat worn by Mansfield was to be
seen hanging near where he had been
at work, but Robinson supposed he
had either gone off and forgotten it,
or as it was an old one, he didn't care
enough about it to take it with him.
After talking the matter over mo-
ment or two, Robinson proposed to
accompany the gentleman from Har-
risburg to Mansfield's and see whether
he was at home or not. The two men
had not reached the point where the
coat was hanging when they suddenly
came upon the PROSTATE form oi VIM.
Mansfield, whom they found to be
dead. He had chopped down quite
l.rge tree which, in falling. had struck
smaller one, bending it almost to
the ground, then slipping off, when
the smaller tree resumed its upright
position with such force, that its top
was broken off and hurled through the
air with tremendous power, striking
the deceased directly in the forehead,
knocking him down and crushing in
the skull, probably causing death in
stantly. Deceased lay as he fell. upon
his back, his left hand grasping the
haLdle of his AK, while his right hand
was tull of moss, probably secured in
vain endeavor to ward off the blow
from the tree-top. He doubtless met
his death on Thursday, and had there
fore been dead three days before found.
Mr.. Grimes. J. P, summond jury,
and an inquest was had Sunday even
ing. Deceased was a Woodworking
man, and good citizen. He was 55
years of age, and leaves large family
to mourn his untimely fall.

ED. REGISTER 81 send you few
items from the seat Of war-Provt-
dence School-house.
Notices were posted that there would
be a school-meeting at Providence
! School-house on Tuesday, Dec. Goth,
for the purpose of electing one Direc-
tor, and for general settlement. On
the day appointed the unwashed and
the unterrifled were on hand. After
the election was over, speeches were
declared In oriler. The principal
speakers were the Apostle Paul, Old
Eplraim and Mullet-head. Mullet-
head was called on to say something
for the good of the order. He re-
sponded by saying that he was well
pleased with the schooi-master that
all the schooi-masters they had hitll-
erto had. had learned his children that
the earth was round, and this 'un was
teachin' it flat--and. 9-pineblank,' -
that was his notion. He said, further
more, that Joshua told the sun 10 stop
while he fout a battle, and he believed
Joshua knowed more nor men do
now.
Old Eph. was next called on. BY
this time he Eph.) had got hot under
the collar. He arose, and with great
dignity remarked that he was not well
pleased with the school-master. and
then and there made grave charges
against his tthe schoolmaster 's) honesty
and truthufulness. These charges
stirred mp his honor, the Chair, who
called Eph. to order, informing him
that the law gave the School Directors
alone the power 20 declare war .
Ephraim had become so worked up
by excitement by this time that he
incontinentally set down! The next
man to give an exhibition OF chin
music was superanuated teacher that
has full supply of what balloon Is
filled with. He longed for the good
old days of Benedict Arnold and
Aron Burr. He said he felt just like
Mullet-head about this matter of edu-
cation. He once kept school in this
district, and he always told his schol-
ars that he thought the earth was fiat,
though the books taught different.
The Apostle Paul was the next man
to air his rhetoric and display his i'm
mcnse oratorical powers. He, the
Apostle Paul, was opposed to the
present schoolmaster on general prin-
ciples. He could not and would not
compromise with -- and -, and
that himself and Old Eph. would
fight to the bitter eend! He told
the audience to resist the devil and he
would fee from them that he had
tried 1t on Buttertush, and he had fed.
The effect of such terrific eloquence
ON that audience my feeble pen shall
not try TO delineate., There doesn't
seem to be a doubt in the minds of
any candid man present that, had it
not been for the presence of that faith
fll conservator OF the public veal
that great preserver of law and order
in the Forks-Tinker Jim, who APP
peared just in the nick o. time, as If
sent by an oyerruling Providence, a
terrible conflict would then and there
have been waged, ANIL water would
have flowed like blood. But Tinker
Jim was there, armed with the law,
and being a man Of powerful muscle,
the war spirit was squelched, and the
meeting adjourned.
A FRIEND TO THE Forks.
