For many years we have made two
medicines suited To the ailments Of q
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits Of our
medicines have sprung up, dangerous
in the close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box Of
Holloway's Ointment the fac simile
of the signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos.
Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one
who initiates this with the utmost
vigor of the law. We most earnestly
beg that the great mass of the Amer
lean people will aid us in our efforts
To protect their health, and help US in
our task of bringing these most un-
principled men to the bar of Justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medi-
cines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. Jos. Haycock's signature is at-
tached to each box of Pills or pot Of
Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.
The public's obedient scrvantA

Hamln, Colfax and Wilson, and Sen
ators Douglas, Cameron and Lane
and scores of other most eminent men
whom | might mention, never were in
a higher school than this, or possessed
more advantages for learning than you
have right here to-day; and yet they
have occupied in the Cabinet and on
the battle field, the highest stations of
honor and trust known in America.
With such brilliant constellation of
examples before you, there is everything
to encourage you to strive with an hon
orablo ambition, to reach the highest
pinnacle of fame. Let your motto ever
be "Ercelsiorl" Who shall say that
within these walls to-day, there may
not be some future President of this
grand Republic brave General
to defend its hag-or some grave Sen
ator to watch with Argus eye, the safety
of our glorious Constitution? This is
not only possible, but even probable.
Now scholars, let me give you few
words of advice: You all possess the
requisite qualities to become finished
scholars, and men and women of high
order of excellence. What you need
to do is to cultivate your minds; keep
good company or none; aim high; be
kind and courteous to all, in all places.
a kind word or courteous act costs
us nothing-and have often been known
to make valuable and lasting friends.
Never mcddle with other peoples af-
fairs,-but see to it that you take Uery
good care Of your o,cn. Deal honestly,
live uprightly, keep a clear conscience,
and ''Do unto others as you would they
should do unto you," and in my opinion
you will enjoy all the hoped for good
of this world, and OF the world to come
In conclusion, let me assure you all
that you have my most sincere good
wishes for your future prosperity and
happiness. Wherever my lot may in
the future be cast, | shall ever carry
with me the most pleasing recollections
of each and all of you. Thanking you
again for the many tokens of your kind
regards, will now bid you all most
friendly goodbye"

EATON SETTLEMENT, Rock Creek,
Clarke County, w. IT,,
January 10Th, 1877.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

The neighbors of this settlement
have been considerably annoyed the
past season by the depredations of
the cougars, panthers and catamounts
upon their young stock, such as calves
and yearlings, having had quite
number killed. The inhabitants feel
under many obligations to Mr.. Will
Withers, Of Chelatchie, and Mr.. Erech
johnson, of this settlement, for their
efforts to exterminate these pests,
On the 10Th of last month they killed,
with their four hounds, between here
and Chelatchie, large male cougar;
he was a large old fellow, but quito
poor, having apparently just recov.
cred from wound in one of his FORE
paws, as there was a bullet hole
through it. On the 2lst, they, with
their four hounds, killed large male
catamount near Jonas Carleson's. On
the Gath, Johnson, alone, with his two
hounds, killed female catamount
near Mclntosh's homestead. On the
2Sth, johnson, with his two hounds,
killed large female cougar in can.
yon near Col. Abbey's homestead.
1t was very large and fat, and meas
urcd Z feet and 8 inches from the
nose to the end of the tail. The tail
was curiosity. 1t was feet and 8
inches in length, was very large at
the body, and nearly Of one size clear
out to the end; and when erect
looked more like club thsn tail.
| The first shot he made at it, the ball
passed just over its head, and having
its head little down, the ball laid
the skin open between the shoulders
nearly a foot long. 1t seemed to
craze her, for she made leap of for
ty feet from the tree before she
struck the ground. She did not at
tempt to tree again, for the dogs were
soon fastened on her; but she tore
one of the dogs considerably. John
son became alarmed for his dogs and
walked right up and shot her through
the head. Respectfully,
Yours &C.,
S. A. A.

Fort Vancouver.

Under the above caption the North
ern Star pays the following tribute to
the officers and soldiers Of this Post.
We never saw a finer set of men
physically, nor those who conducted
themselves in every particular like gen.
tlcmen than the soldiers OF the 2lst In
fantry stationed there. Not only did
we find them to possess the moral and
social qualities of true gentlemen, but
we found that no stranger would be en-
listed whose character was unknown to
the recruiting officer, except he first
brought from his last employers, or the
place of his residence, certificates as to
his good moral character, and that he
is not subject to the habitual use of in
toxicating liquors. One man from the
Sound region, desiring to enlist, we
found stopping there for his friends to
send him his certificate Of character be-
fore the officers would enlist him. The
reason given for this strictness was,
that the recruiting officers were held
responsible for the moral character OF
the men enlisted by them.
We made many inquiries regarding
the characters Of the soldiers now a,
Fort Vancouver from citizens whom WI
believed to be well acquainted with tn,
garrison. who fully sustained the high
opinion we had Of them. They also
spoke in what we believed to be dcserv.
edly high terms of Col. Mason, the
commander Of the fort. and of the Of
iicers Of the garrison, and in particular
OF Chrplain Collins. whose able efforts
in infusing desire to furnish literary
and other mental amusements by the
officers for the garrison have been sue.
cessfully carried out, and duly appreci-
ated by soldiers as well as civilians.

Better than Gold.

Better than gold is n conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in nm humble sphere
Doubly blest with content and health,
Untried by the lust or cares of wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot
For man and morals, on natures plan
Are the genuine test of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of TOLL when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep
Brings sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
His simpler opiatc labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is the thinking mind
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yorc.
A heart that can feel for neighbors woe,
And share his joys with genial glow;
With sympathies large enough To enlold
All men as brothers-is better than gold.
Better than gold is Il peaceful home,
Where all the iireside charities come
The shrine of love and the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the soul may be,
Or tried by sorrow with heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold
And center there, are better than gold.

This school, in charge of Judge
Waterman, closed its term of four
and half months last Friday, the
10Th. He speaks very highly Of the
people generally of that District, and
of his scholars in particular He in
forms us that there were IL scholars
enrolled, with an average attendance
of 30. The only obstacle which he
found to contend with was the end
less variety of books--there being
three different Histories, four differ
ent Arithmetics, three different Spell
ing Books, and any amount of differ
ent Readers,-yet the proficiency Of
all who could attend regularly was
very marked and highly satisfactory.
Premiums were awarded by the
teacher, for Spelling, in the various
classes, as follows: Miss Mary f..
Cross, Miss Belle Cross, Miss Cynthia
G. Higdon and Melinda II. Ricketts,.
The premiums consisted of the neat
ly bound volumes of Abbott's His
tories and Oxfords Speaker.
During the day many of the pat
rons of the school were present, as
well as visitors from other Districts.
The afternoon was principally de-
voted to the speaking of pieces, dia-
logues, etc., and were participated in
by large number of scholars of all
classes, who acquitted themselves
very creditably, and were greeted
with loud applause.
After the speaking the premiums
were distributed, as also ''Rewards of
Merit" to all the scholars, when the
teacher addressed them as follows:
FRIENDS AND SCHoLARs:-
Our term of school now closes; and
it affords me real pleasure to have oc-
casion to thank you most sincerely
for your general good department, for
your close application to your studies,
and for your marked advancement in
learning. BE not weary, then, in
well doing, but improve every oppor-
tunity which you may have, in stor-
ing your minds with useful knowl-
edge. Remember that you are soon
to become men and women, and will
have to assume for yourselves the du-
ties and responsibilities in the great
drama of life.
BE not discouraged because you have
but one term Of school in year,--or
that you have a log school-house in the
woods. Remember that two of the
greatest Philosophers, Statesmen and
Printers Of Acknowledgment Frank
lin and Horace Greeley, were both poor
boys, were educated in log school houses.

from the post-otiice, whether directed in his

he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount whether the

Office, or removing aud leaving them uncalled
