The property purchased at Limeston,
Springs s. c., by Peter Cooper for the es
tablishment of a free school, is thue de-
scribed by the Atlanta Constitution: "0n
the premises are some very fine buildings,
which were built with the idea that the
spring would become a famous watering
place. One building has no less than one
hundred rooms, and is admirably suited for
the headquarters of an academy. There
are other buildings near by smaller, though
OF considerable size. Every facility is there
fore prepared in the way Of room and gener-
al accommodations. The climate of the
region is fine, and the water is cold, pure;
and delightful. No better place fors the

been selected" The school, it is said, will
contain kindergarten department.

Rich Quartz.

Twenty-four hundred pounds of
quartz arrived here last Saturday from
Southern Oregon. This rock came
from the ledge six miles below the
mouth of Galico creek, on Rogue river,
and belongs to Messrs. Bybee & Jo.,
who are the owners of the mine. This
quartz was taken from q ledge whioh is
we'll defined and varies in width from
4 inches to 2! feet. The ledge has
been prospected for long distance, and
shows free gold with very little sulphur
cts. A shaft has been sunk 36 feet
and DRIFT runs % feet on the ledge,
which shows same quality of rook
Competent judges assert that 1t is ohe
OF the most promising quartz lodges in
the country. The rock which vas
brought down is being worked by Mr.
J. II. Fisk. Several persons will be
employed in working this rock, 10 order
to ascertain the best mode. This rock
will yield from ST 800 to 50 900 to the
ton. Average quartz taken from the
lode will yield about 500 to the ton

Acreage Sown In 1871.

In Northern Idaho during the year
OF 1877 from the best estimates there
were about $4,000 acres sown in differ.
ent grains, mostly wheat. The amount
OF oats sown was small, also Barley,
some fax was sown. We estimated
about four-ffths Of the acreage sown
was in wheat. The average per acre
in wheat was about 35 bushels per acre,
oats and barley averaged about IS per
acre. Flax about 20 bushels per acre.
The acreage which will be sown for the
crop of 1878 will be nearly treble tha.
of 1877, according to present prospects,
especially in Nez Perco county, as the
number who made location of pre-emp-
tions and homcsteads within the last
5 months has been increased in full five
fold ratio over those who had farms to
SOW in 1877, and we are sure that each
new conner will SOW enough more to
make three times the quantity sown in
1877. In Idaho county the increase
Of population has been small in the far
ming district owing to the Indian war.
Shoshonc county has comparatively lit
tie acreage which will be sown. Hence
VIC are satisfied that over $4,000 acres
will be sown in North Idaho ia 1873
and If mostly in Wheat, which is prob
able, and an average season is expert
enced We may safely say that rearly
two million bushels of wheat will be
raised next year by North Idaho, or
100000 ccutals. IF Wheat Should
remain up to present prices, its full
value IN Portland would be S2,40D 600.
All that we have computed can be ship
ped BY our rivers if properly mproyed
and at comparatively small cost. In
1880 we viii have more than treble the
acreage Of 1878, in sown land, if imi-
grafton comes in at the present ratio
for the next two years.

EDITOR TELLER We of Warrens
would like to know what is the matter
with the mail between here aud the
lower towns, papers asd letters are often
three weeks behind time. Often the
Oregon papers are sent around by Wei
ser instead of Lewiston. Does not the
postmaster at Walla Walla know vet,
that by sending mail matter to this
office by the way of Weiser, he is send

weeks? But there seems to be still

diseases of the lungs are SCHENK's PULMO-
MIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC,
and SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS, and if
taxed before the lungs are destroyed they
effect a speedy cure. To these medicines
DR.. j. III. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes
his unrivalled success in the treatment Of
pulmonary disease. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter in the lungs,
nature throws it off by an easy eXpectora-
ton, and the patient has relief from the
prostrating cough. The Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse and stimu-
late the stomach and liver; they remove
I'll distractions, relax the gall bladder
and start the bile freely, and the liver is
soon relieved. Schcnck's Sea Weed Tonic
is gentle stimulant and Alternative; the
alkali of which it is composed mikes with
the food and prevents Sourimg. 1t assists
the digestion by tOning up the stomach to
a healthy condition, SO that the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and the patient will
surely get well if care is taken to avoid
fresh cold. Full directions accompany
each preparation. All who wish to con-
suit DIR. Schenck personally, can do so ut
his principal Office, corner of Sixth and
Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday.
Letters to the above address, asking adj
vice, answered free of charge.

from "a warm personal friend OF Gen.

Louisiana returning board, to the effect
that pending the electoral decision Mr.
Pelton, who was understood to be the
financial agent of Mr.. Tilden, went to
New Orleans with s25O,OOO with when
to buy the returning board. lie offered
Wells 100000, then $l5O,Ooo, and
finally 100000 but that virtuous peer
declined, offering, however, to come
down for 100000, but Mr.. Pelton, SO
the story goes, couldn't see it. Besides
Wells wanted the money in his own
pocket and not placed in the hands OF
third party until the count was over,
and Mr.. Pelton very naturally feared
trick. Then he went to Mr.. Anderson,
aud the latter took time to consider and
failed to meet the appointment, and
when piled further declined to carry on
the negotiations; This story is said to
come from Wells and Anderson direct
ly, and Wells says he listened to Pelton
only in order to draw Tilden into
trap.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or weakness is
In nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic sto-
mach. Good digestion gives sound sleep,
indigestion interferes with it. The brain
and stomach sympathize. One of the
prominent symptoms of weak state of
the gastric organs is disturbance of the
great nerve entrespot, the brain. Invig-
crate the stomach, land you restore cquilib-
rum to the great contre. A most reliable
medicine for the purpose is Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful mar
cotics which, though they may for time
exert a sopOrific influence upon the brain
soon cease to act, and invariably injure
the tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on
the contrary restore activity to the opera
tons of that all important organ, and
their beneficent influence is reelected in
sound sleep and a tranquil state ofthe
nervous system. A wholesome impetus
is likewise given to the action of the liver
and bowels by its use.
