Hon. i. B. Hastings was one Of
shese . gentlemen, and he writes the
following to this office: "Onmy re-
turn West, I made it my special busi-
ness to visit the emigrant cars where
I found agents of Oregon and other
states and Territories, putting in the
hands OF the emigrants, circulars,
maps, &c:. setting forth the advan-
sages OF their State or Territory.
found many persons who preferred
our Territory to any other, but the
expense of the journey and the tine
consumed In getting here is a great
obstacle"
One of the greatest needs which
this Board has found is a good gen.
eral map for distribution with the
pamphlet. Nearly every letter from
the intending immigrant says: "Send
me map that I may get some idea
of your country" The lack of suffi-
cient means has thus far prevented
the Board from issuing one, and it
is hoped that if some plan cannot be
devised by which to procure its pub
lication this year, the Hon. Legisla-
tive Assembly will deem it for the
advantage of the Territory to pro-
vide means for this purpose at the
next session.
Respectfully submitted,
A. H. H. STUART,
Chairman Board of immigration,

DYING OF STARVATION Philadelphia

dying Of starvation and cold. Immediate
relief has been afforded her, but it is feared
she will die. She has been living in state
penury for long time past, completely
paralyzed and sick. A brother, once well

Justice Miller of the United States Su-

i,bicaeo Times last week that he thought
there was grave danger to be apprehended,
and that the country would be fortunate if
il escapes a shock which may shake its in
stitutions more severely than did the recent
civil war. When asked upon what he
based his fears, he said: "On the evident
tendency of the Democrats to make mischief.
They mean mischief. Their action in the
House on the opening day shows plainly
that it is their intention to place Tilden in
power no matter what may be the coast.
The people may be led astray to-day as
easily as they were Is years ago. Commu-
mites are governed more by the impulse
given their sentiments by men who lead
public opinion than by common sense.
The Democrats mean Tilden or mischief.
| believe it is the intention to force the
election into the House at all hazards. |
think that Tilden's past career indicates
that he would resort to anything to carry
his point and attain his ambition. He has
been educated in political school in which
it is taught as a cardinal doctrine that
everything is fair in politics as in war.
simply mean that Gov. Tilden is an orthodox
Democrat, and therefore thinks that the END
to be attained will justify any means thai
may be taken to attain it. | think thai
HAYES will be declared elected. certainly
think the Democrats of the House mediate
counting the electoral vote, if Hayes is de
clared by the President of the Senate t.
have majority of the electoral votes cast
so that they will, no matter what may b.
the result, declare Tilden elected"

A SIMPLE CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.-A

remedies for it. As yet none have pre-
scribed what know to be sure cure. |
drank more Intoxicating liquor from the year
1857 to the last day of 1873 than any per-
son | ever knew or heard of; and in the
meantime, knowing this sure cure, did not
practice it on myself, but, for fun, did prac-
tce it on many others, and effected perma-
nsnt cures. The remedy or cure is this !:
When person finds he must have drink, !,
let him take drink of water-say two or
three swallows-as often as the thirst or
craving may desire. Let him continue this
practice. His old chums will laugh but
let him presevere, and it will not be week
before the appetite for any kind of stimu-
liant will disappear altogether, and water
will be taken to quench the natural thirst
If at any time the victim should feel q
craving, let him take the first opportunity
and obtain a swallow of water, and he car
pass and repass all saloons. When he goe:
home at night he will feel satisfied and bC
sober and have money in his pocket.
commenced this practice the first day o
1874, and never think of taking drink o
stimulants.

A TINE HoNORRD SPECIFIc-The long and
successful career of DR.. Wishart's Pine Tree
Tar Cordial, as contrasted with the speedy
collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been pulled
into brief notOriety during the twenty odd
years that this celebrated medicine has been
sold, affords a proof that the American
continues to repose its confidence in de-
serving articles only. The Pine Tree Tar
Cordial has long been recognized as the
leading specific for Consumption, Bronchi
tbs, Coughs, Coulds, Asthma, Diptheria, and
all other diseases of the breathing organs.
1t is, moreover, certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Diser-
ders, Scrofulous Affections, Urinary Trou-
bles, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipation,
and Female Complaints. Constantly ac.
cumuIating evidence of an unimpeachable
character establishes the fact that it not
only entirely eradcates the diseases TO
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The

its reliability in every particular. Sold 10y

AFRARFUL LCALAMITY.-BWningo Brooklyn
Theatrt-A terriable calamity occurred in
BROOKLYN, n. Y. on Tuesday night of last
week By the burning of theatre nearly
three hundred people were hurried into
eternity by a terrible death with
scarcely more than a moments warning.
The scene early Wednesday morning is de.
scribed as having been touching in the ex-
treme; the air filed with the cries of those
who had lost or were in search of friends,
while many thousands of deeply interested
and sympathizing spectators surrounded
and crowded about the ruins. The bodies
we're found packed upon one another like
corded wood. The number which peIished
is given by the latest accounts as being two
hundred and eighty-five. The loss on the
building, fixtures, and machinery is placed
at 100000. In consequence of the cal
amity the theatres and all places of public
amusement in Brooklyn will be closed for the
next week. Business was generally sus-
pended Wednesday, and throughout the
city afeeling of the deepest gloom prevailed.
