CURE FOR SCARLET FEVER
- 100 d. \ :.
Sulphur said to be a specific for the
Disease.

The LONDON Lapcets a high med I
zeal authority. contains an article from
the pen of Dr. Henry Pigeon, an em ,
inent English physician. III which It is
stated that sulphur is almost a spe-
citie for scarlet fever DIR. Pigeon says
be anoints the patient twice daily with
sulphur ointment. gives from FIVE to
ten grains of sulphur in little jim
thee lines y day, and burns sulphur
in the room or the patient twice daily.
He, says that he has given this treat
ment extended trial for over two years,
and that under it not one Of bis pa
tiehts was more than eight days in
making Q complete recovery, although
the cases were ~ell marked, the sur
f1ce skin on the arms coming away
like the skin of snake. AS sulphur
is inexpensive, aud deaths from scarlet
fever have occurred recently along the
railroad, and the diseass is-'liabte to
show itself here anytime. it might
be well in the absense of physician to
give it a trial when the necessity or
rises. If sulphur is specific for the
disease, the Rabbit Hole country. in
the western part OF the county ought

Prophets at Fault.


Two weeks ago, when everybody was
clamoring for snow, aud predicting
that thesi country would have to be
abandoned to the .Piutes iu aoonse-
qnence of the anticipated scarcity of
water next spring, clopdsr arose in
the west With very favbrabfe indica-
lions of storm, which came at last,
and the snow began to fail and eontin-
ued falling until it covered the ground
to greater depth than fer years be-
fore, There was no fuss or buster
about it, il came down in fakes thick
thick and fast. and hopeful people con-
claded that there would be enough in
the mountains to make sufficient water
for all necessary purposes next sum-
msr. A few knowing, ones" how
ever. predicted thatit was too late in
the season for snow to remain on the
ground, and that it would disappear
10 day or two. These prophets are
now deservedly without honor among
their associates. Two weeks have
elapsed since the storm set in; the
snow remains. not only on the mount
aims but in the lowest levels along, the
Hnmboidt. and we have sxperisnoed
the coolest weather ever known in the
county since its settlement by the
whites, and the prophets are convinced
that snow which falls in the latter part
of January is colder than amy they
ever saw in December, and is likely to
remain much longer than they desired

have missed the last No. of the
COURIER, for some reason, perhaps
expiration of subscription, and when
we miss one we find we can't keep
house without it. I think this Is
about my 10th year for the COURIER,
and find it has become one of the
permanent fixtures of the family.
We have had rather an exciting
time for the past two weeks, over the
trial of Warren Clough, for the mur-
der Of his brother, last May. On Fri
day last the jury returned verdict
of guilty ofmurder in the first degree,
which is punishable, in this state, by
hanging. A motion for a new trial
is now pending which probably will
be granted.
We are having very warm weather,
more like April than February. The
farmers say they arc going to plow-
ing in the morning. The time is fast
approaching when L hope we shall
know something definite about the
Presidential matter. l for one am
decidedly opposed to deciding the
matter by a game of seven up or
drawing cuts. Mr.. Hayes or Tilden,
is, one or the other, honorably elected.
and which ever it is say give him
the office without gambling for the
chance of the office. 8 t5#
l am glad to learn from the CoU-
RIER, that my old friend Springer is
still in Nebraska and alive and
scratching. Notwithstanding the gras-
hoppers, bulldozcrs and all the ver-
min. think we have made good
selection for United States Senator,
from this state.
With respects to you and all old
friends, am respectfully yours

Premium Whent.

l -
Mr.. ID. ID. Prettyman, of Polk coun
ty, Oregon, took the first premium or
wheat at the Centennial. y
He is nephew Of our highly re.
spectcd fellow-citizen, David Burton
Esq, of Green township, in this coun.
| ty. at 81
We clip from the Oregon Statesnsan
the following account of its manner
Of cultivation: .h{oi
The wheat was Of the Ninety-day
variety and was raised on ground
that never was plowed. Perhaps it
might not be amiss for us to tell, for
the benefit of our Eastern readers,
how this was done. In the first place
the ground is a piece covered with
young fir timber. This timber is cut
and fell in every direction so as to
make q perfect mat on the ground.
Then it is allowed to dry, when it is
fired and all burned of. After the
timber has all been burned up, the
wheat is sowed in the ashes and
brushed in" This kind of ground
is called "slashed" ground. All veg
citation is killed before the wheat is
sowed and of. course the wheat grows
beautifully. We have forgotten the
amount raised per acre, by Mr.. Pret-
lyman, but it was very large. It was
a most beautiful and plump grain,
We shall get sample of this wheat
to exhibit at this office soon. Mr..
Prettyman is very careful and pains
taking farmer, and Polk county may
well feel proud of him as one Of her
citizens, and that she got the Centen-
NAL premium for the best wheat in
the world. Hurrah for "Old Polk"
Mr.. p. has some Of this wheat for
sale. His postoffice is Salem, Oregon.

rHE GRADE.

The City Council met, last night in
adjourned session for the purpose of
considering the new grade as pro-
posed by Mr.. Douglass, and passed a
resolution agreeing to adopt said
grade with perhaps some slight mod
ifications on Samantha, Main, Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth and /, Court
streets. The City Solicitor was oc-
dcred to frame an ordinance adopting
said grade and to have il ready. for
the meeting on Monday night next.
Therefore, if any Of the people Of
city are not certain as to whether
they like this grade or not they had
as well be on hand and enter their
protests, before the returning board
pass upon the question, after which it
will be'too late. ,.tt.li i31..l''..3E ..al +
