TX MARvEL's letter declining the
offer of the nomination of Governor
by the soft-money party in Connecti-
cut is probably the most picturesque
political document ON record. 81
would rather be farmer than Gov
ernor," he says. 81 would rather sit
in my library of an afternoon and
watch the growing corn undulating
in the western wind than sit in the
chair of State signing bills for pub
lie acts, and the bright flag floating
above the Capitol would not be SO
pleasing in my eyes as the smoky
banner Of the far-of steamer seen
athwart the dancing waters silyered

NEARLY BLIND.

ii. r. STEVENS: Dear Sir-In eX-
pressing my thanks to you for benefits
derived from the use of VEGETINE, and
to benefit others, l will state:-
When eight or nine years old was af-
flicted with Scrofula, which made its
appearance in my eyes, face and head,
and | was very near blind for two
years. All kinds of operations were
performed on my eyes, and all to no
good result. Finally the disease princi-
pally settled in my body, limbs and feet,
and at times in an aggravated way.
Last summer l was from some cause,
weak in my spine and kidneys, and il
was at times very hard to retain the
urine. Seeing your advertisement i'll
the Commercial, l bought n bottle of
VEGETINE, and commenced using ac-
cording to directions. In two or three
days | obtained great relief. After
using four or five bottles l noticed it had
a wonderful effect OH the rough, scaly
blotches on my body and legs. l still
used VEGETINE and the humorous sores
one after another disappeared until they
| were all gone, and / attribute the cure
of the two diseases to VEGETINE, and
nothing else.
If am ever affected with anything OF
the kind again shall try VEGETINE as
the only reliable remedy. Once more
accept my thanks, and believe me to be,
Very respectfully.

Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, etc.,
are always unpleasant, and at times they
| become the most distressing and dam
| gerous diseases that can affect the hu-
man system. Most diseases of the Kid
neys arise from impurities in the blood,
causing humors which settle on these
parts. VEGErINE eXcels any known
: kremedy in the whole world for cleans
| ing and purifying the blood, thereby
causing healthy action to all the or
gans of the body.
Vegetine is Sold by all
Druggists.

and gone to speculating in town lots.
Gold mining is an uncertain and de-

SALEM, Feb. %, 187

SALEM, Feb. 2o, 1876.
Mr.. EDIroR:-Our winter is over
il winter might call it. 1t seemed
more like April. 1t was not cold
enough to freeze running water this
winter. Some of the farmers are
just digging their potatoes, and they
are as solid and nice as if they had
been kept in a warm cellar. Old set
tiers say this has been an average
"Oregon" winter with this exception
that there has been more rain than
usual. About 45 in. Gas the editors
have it, but 1 would say about four
days in every week.
Notwithstanding this great amount
of rain one days sunshine and the
farmers are plowlng. Farmers are
taking more interest in improving,
and their mode of farming of late,
than in the past. Many are using
three horses instead of two, and are
breaking the soil eight or ten inches
deep, for which they receive more
than ample increase for their extra
labor. The sulky plow is also much
used, giving very general satisfaction.
The winter has closed, the rain is
over, and the sun shines as brightly
as it did when first / beheld it in
this beautiful northern cline in the
month of June. Although it is Feb
ruary it seems as if we ought to be
planting corn; but there is none to
plant, but the farmers are busy SOW
ing wheat instead, and will continue

Farming operations are at stand
