MANY friends and acquaintance
are writing us in regard to the best
modes of ventilation and disiufec-
ton. The best we know of are
these: Open all doors and windows
in the morning. If the weather is
cold and frosty let the windows re.
main open day and night, to allow
the pure, frosty air to pass through.
But if the weather is warm or
damp, the windows and doors
should be closed at sunset, and
about an hour after sunset a
small quantity of sulphur or gun
powder should be put in an iron or
stone vessel and placed in the mid
die of each room and burned. An
hour after the sulphur or powder
has been burned, open the doors
and windows again for five minutes
to allow the odor to pass out, SO as
to make the room pleasant to sleep
in. If the air is frosty, the sulphur
and gunpowder can be dispensed
with. The keeping of the windows
and doors open during the day and
night is all that is necessary.

THE ROsTILEs.

The most reliable news from the front
is brought by Andy Baker, Division
superintendent of the Northwestern
Stage Liue. He has been for several
days with Colonel Bernard's company
on the Ovyhee, and brought dispatches
fro.l General Howard to Captain
Eagan's artillery, who are detailed to
guard the stage road and telegraph line
from summit north through the hostile
country. He says Robbins scouts with
BernaId's cavalry report large mum Der
of hostiles camped between the Owyhee
and Juniper Lake. The country
through which the hostiles. have PASSED
is strewn with the carcasses of horses
and cattle, aud the full extent of their
depredations and the number of MUIR
ders Committed by them. can only be
corjectured. He believes that there is
also a baud of hostiles east of the stage
road IN the vicinity of Old Camp Three
Forks on the Ovyhee, as Indian scouts
are seen In that direction daily. All
Indiaus SEEN along the road north of
summit Station are considered hostile.
When friendly Indians are sent out as
messengers they open the letters which
they carry and swing them in the air
before venturing within rife range of
white men. The main camp of the
hostiles was without doubt, AS he heard
the scouts so report it to the officers,
near Juniper Lake. but it was surmised
by the military that they might attempt
to go north toward the Columbia river
unless headed off by the troops. which
are now supposed to be in force near
the Malheur reservation. Colonel
Bernard's cavalry, 1870 strong. are
now watching the Indians somewhere
near Juniper Lake. and possibly may
have had fight with them. Chiefs
Otiz and Egan's bands of Piutes, and
Eagle Eyes Weisars are known to be
ON the war path with the Bannocks.
