Fine Colt.

Tuesday Mr.. Howe brought quarter
bred Percheron colt into this city, which
promises to be one of the finest of white
Princes descendants. The colt was foslded
on the Is of last May, is four feet or more
in height, has splendid action-w walking and
trotting like q race horse, the fam, of a
draught animal, kind in disposition, and
IN assured around the arm from sixteen to
twenty inches. The colt was sired by
Uncle Jimuy Cox's half>bred Percheron
horse, sired by White Prince, and is gener>
ally regarded as one of the finest colts in
the country. II is certain, for freedom of
action, age and size. Mr.. Howe's colt is one

CoMsToCK's planning MILL

During the week we visited j. !. Com-
stocks planning mill and sash and door fac>
tory, near the railroad depot. Il is the
most complete establishment OF the kind
this side OF Portland, and fills want long
appreciated in this county. All the machin-
cry necessary TO do frst-Glass work has
been purchased, and is now in good work
ing order. There is a planning machine,
monlder, scroll. rip and cutoff saws,
sticker. &c, of new patterns and emooLy>
ing all late improvements, and large en-
gine. furnace aud boiler furnish the mot.vs
power. The mill is superintendent by q
fireman OF lar ga experience, and the Wosk
done there is as good as can be purchase
anywhere in the State Our attention WI 8
esspecially directed to some mouldiDgs of
various sizes just fin shed, and we
can truly say we have never seen better,
more perfect in outline, clearly shaped in
the recesses and completely finished.
This mill accom- pl,shes a two-fold end
It gives to Roseburg and Douglas county
an opportunity to buy sucn articles as are
man ifacture al the mill, made at home and
OF home material; also, it will save money
for home, the amount of which has hereto>
fore been sent abroad, and thereafter never
benefited any one in Douglas county.
We hope our citizens will work to sus.
tain Mr.. Comstock in this enterprise, and
in all others SO well calculated to help the
courty It is by. from and through such
enterprises-saying to home and prevent>
ing home wealth taking wings and flying
abroad that empires are created, that
States grow from territories, that Oregon
will reap rich harvest and d great name
in the worlds commerce. in the future
When our people thus think they will take
and put into use those great gifts which
Nature has bestowed upon Douglas county
Then will Oregon be the richest State in
the Union, aud Douglas the wealthiest
county in Oregon.

Our SCHOOLS AND HEALTH.-IE time of
incipient epidemics, one of the best dis
tributive centres of disease is the school
house. But it is not of this we would now
speak; rather of the sanitary arrange
ments, the ventilation, &C., that belong to
the every day exercises. Our crowded
schools, especially in the winter season, are
terribly trying on children of delicate con-
stitutions, and it occasionally becomes ne
cessary with the more feeble ones to be
kept at home altogether for fear of more
serious consequences. The chief danger
grows out of bad ventilation. A gentle
man whose business it is to see after the
management of our schools says he not un-
frequently finds the windows unmoved
from the time the school is called in the
morning, and the children breathing hot,
| vitiated air, over and over again that can.
not but have deleterious effect upon them.
Besides, when emerging from a room Of q
high temperature into the open air with
their pores all open, they are fit subjects
for colds, pneumonia, &c. We admit that
the air or temperature cannot be kept SC
pure or we'll regulated as in private dwell
ling, but with little thoughtfulness on the
part of our teachers, it can be made much
more heathful than it is.
"Several years since, the Medico- Lega
Society of New York, composed of some
of the most learned lawyers and physicians
of that State, suggested that no child unde
10 years of age should be confined in the
school room longer than 3 hours day
That confinement, alone, for longe

al did his full duty in the case, was not in
proof material as to 9. The witnesses
were on the other side Of the Line, they
could not be compelled, and none were
likely in such a suit to volunteer against a
neighbor where they had no personal in
terest, and so the State went into the trial
with no evidence save the victim of the in
tended murder, who was proved to be a
man of false character, and the two colored
men who heard the report of the pistols
and took care of him after he was shot.
The witnesses for the prisoners could be
had by the score.
Just here we may add this Mason and
DiXon's line is, and has been bulwark to
protect criminals, and the Legislatures of
Maryland and Delaware should devise a
mode whereby justice should be better
served.
Mr.. Dodson's two daughters and two sons
swore that their mother, Vincent and New.
comb were at home on the night that Jones
says they carried him 80 miles and shot
him, and it was on this testimony they
were cleared. 1t is not pleasant to believe
these young people were guilty of wilfu
purjury-all the circumstances which they
swore to may have occurred on the pre-
vious evening and most probably did
Newspaper correspondents who traced W
the statement of Jones step by step founC
his statement corroborated by abundan
evidence, and there is perhaps no persol
who does not believe that the parties in
dicted were guilty of attempting to tax
Jones life. The statements of the latte
affecting their character was agrivating an
merited punishment, but the State only ha
the power to take life, and if person
guilty of this offence are thus easily allowe
to escape with blood on their hands, tn
moral tone of society will be lowered an
vicious persons be emboldend to do blood

SENATOR BLAINE's New MoTOR..The up
permost political topic of the past week
has been the speech of Senator Blaine,
made before full chamber and crowded
galleries. It's significance grew out of the
fact that he was expected to strike the key
note for the next Presidential campaign.
There was considerable disappointment.
1t was thought that Mr.. Blame would in his
dramatic way, haunt the bloody shirt
in their faces and kindle anew the Southern
fires of a few years ago. Blaine is full of
surprises, and he showed himself in an
entirely different mood. He, indeed,
dwelt at considerable length on the condi-
ton of the South, the intimidations, "pud-
ding" ballots &c. The argument was that
the eleven seceeding States had by con-
trolling the ballot conferred upon the
colored man, seized the seats of seventy
three congressman and gained the con-
troll of the next congress, thus, as he put 1t,
| giving the confederate soldier two votes to
the union soldiers one." And here was
| the point of his argument, that if they
could stop the negro of all his rights, they
should never make white mans vote at
the South doubly as powerful as a ,chite mans
vote at the North. Some inferred from the
tenor of his speech that he wished to. turn
the dial back and disfranchise the negro
to cut off this increased Southern repre-
sentation. However hasty and i'll timed
it was to confer the privilege of the ballo
on a race so unprepared to exercise 1t
3 Senator Blaine knew he could take nosucl
backward step, and the bold navigator tina
he is, determined to launch out in anothe
channel. With him now it is the whit
mans rights which are invaded and on hi
banner in the future is to be inscribed tn
"white mans party" The North is to b
made feel that they count one, while tn
man lately in arms against the government
counts hcO in making its laws and that 1t
! gross inequality. He claimed that tn
| North should have "equal rights with tn
South and closed by saying "the Govern
ment had suffered much to make them rC
main citizens Of the United States, an
n would never suffer them to be more"

IMPORTANT DECISION IN DELAwARE.-At
the recent term of the Superior Court, at
New Castle, two decisions of interest to the
people of this State were rendered. The
first was in regard to notaries and commits
sioners of deeds, and was to the effect that
any instrument of writing executed before
either of those officers whose seal contained
only the initial of the given name instead
of having it in full, is void, which will in
validate a large number of deeds, mortga-
ges, judgments and protests, as there are a
number of those officers whose seal are in
that condition. 1t is thought an enabling
| act will have to be obtained by the Legsla-
ture. to set matters straight and prevent
loss. The other decision referred to is that
notice by landlord to a tenant that pos
session is wanted of the premises occupied
or as it is usually known, notice to move
on the 25th of March, must be given by the
landlord on or before noon of the oath o
December, instead of noon of Christina
day, as has been the universal custom.
