from this vicinity. all of whom speak of it
in the highest terms. Prof. E. B. Weston,
the president, has had long experience in
educational matters, and has a corps OF
able assistants. Full information will be

A solace for the Aged.

In the decline of life, as the vigor of the
system wanes, ana infirmities attack it to
which in early life it was a stranger, the
use of safe medicinal stimulant is highly
advisable. Nothing, as experience shows,
is so admirable adapted to the wants of old
people as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
is real solace to the aged, and the best
safeguard they can possibly use against the
complaints to which they are peculiarly la
BILE. 1t invigorates the body and cheers
the mind, is pure. agreeable and effective.
Rheumatism, lumbago and govt are more
frequently developed in age than in youth
or middle life. Hostetter's Bitters are an
excellent remedy for those painful disor-
ders, and also fortify the system against
them. They never create undue excite
ment, are gentle in their action, andl are
infinitely purer than the unmedicated sti.
mulants of commerce.

He got it, but not the sit" he was after,
A highly perfumed and sweetly scented
young man with white neck tie. lavender
colored pants, and other fashionable attire
to correspond, has for some little time
been in the habit of standing at the rear
Of one of our hotels during the evening,
and making vigorous attempts to cultivate
the acquaintance Of the dining room girls,
whose sleeping apartments are in that part
of the building.
This wooing of lasses, who were so
near and yet so far away" succeeded to
the extent of finally inducing one of the
fun loving girls, with mischief in her
mind, to open q conversation with the
| elegantly attired youth, who expressed u
great desire to become acquaint-
ed with all the girls in the house, and
wanted the privilege of visiting them in
their rooms. Having made known his
wishes be was requested to be around at
the same place last night and the girls
would give him au answer to his proposal.
The young man was thereupon lifted
to the seventh heaven of extasy, and 10
his blind conceit supposed that he was
about to gain admission to the Sanctum
Sanctorum of feminine retirement. So
greatly was he elated that his happiness
was beyond the power to keep within This
own breast, and he blandly remarked to one
of his male acquaintance that tonight he
was sure to get it-if he failed now he
should loose all confidence in his powers to
get it, and he rather prided himself in the
fact that he was pretty successful gen.
orally when he set out for it.
at early night fall he was promptly on
hand. Unknown to him a crowd OIL
youngsters we're gathered in the alley hard
by. The fun loving girl in due time sp
peared at her open window and the con
versation commenced.

various forms has for many years been one
Of the chief articles in the Mate1Ta Mediea
for the treatment Of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circulatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction of
Helmboids Extract of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of q century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the genuine
"Helmbold Buchu, the only pure and
reliable preparation.

CORRESPONDENCE. L.

pogr ANGELES, Dee. II, 1871
No0o" iGov>: ~.urr my last com.
wwclt,ou | have received letter
om one Of the old settlers at Quill.
Iyhutc. He SAYS there are eleven
permanent settlers there now, and
three families ON their way. He
saws while his brother was out cruz.
iug with a new conner they came
across a piece of bottom land six
miles long by : J miles wide, so clear
that they rode their horses the whole
length. This piece OF good land had
been overlooked by the oldest set
tiers. There may he number of
such pieces in that country; it is the
opinion of many that these clearings
extend at intervals to the Chchalis
river.
These settlers are asking for mail,
which they must have before another
year, for in my opinion there will be
quite an emigration into that part of
the country. When there are
enough there to construct road to
Neeah, or ClaIIam Bay, every acre
of good land will be taken up and
another county formed in the Terri
tory, which will be second to none
west of the mountains for butter and
dairy productions. Our Surveyor
General ought to survey a few town
ships there next Summer; so those
hardy pioneers, who have isolated
themselves so many years, could per-
iect their titles and purchase the
land.
Another reason for steamers on the
Neeah Bay route will be the settling
up Of that country which will require
a carrying capacity for freight and
passengers. The Neeah Bay and
Quilyhute Indians produce over
$4,000 every year in furs, skin and
oil, which will go to Port Townsend
if there are no restrictions placed on
the Indians by agents and others as
heretofore. They are very industri,
Gus, and will search sea and land for
anything that will make dollars or
store-goods. They also like to travel
and would furnish good deal Of
freight to a steamerin oil and skins
if there is a market for them up
Sound-w which | have no doubt there
will be when the productiveness of
these enterprising Indians are better
known. RUSTLER.

The Oregoaian comes out with re-
ply on the subject of New States"
and says the INDEPENDENT is mistaken
in supposing that Washington Territory
has as large population as had Oregon
when admitted as a state May be So
but we don't believe it, and wish accu-
rate figures could be obtained, for by
them we think we could easily prove
our position. One thing, however, is
true beyond dispute, and that is, that
Washington Territory is far better able
to support state government than was
Oregon at the date of her admission.
The Oregonian says, that Certain pol
iticians of this territory, for, their own
advantage, form an alliance with and
become the vassals OF Oregon Senators, ;"
and that ''they could be robustly indie
pendent if they would" So they could,
and 60 robustly out of Office at the
same time.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
politicians are the only ones who want
to see Washington admitted as state
A majority of the people so wish, ss by
their vote expressed at the last election.
