people, let them too put forth their
hand to this work. Let the two sec

together do what they can for the com

Mr. Mccoy agent for our Walla
Walla stage line came up on Saturday
from below. He tells us that it is
claimed that at least one million dol
lars of property was destroyed in Port
land alone by the late freshet in the
Willamette river, that much damage
was done in the Umpqua valley, and
also at many points along the William
ette river, but no definite estimate had
been made of the precise amount.
That at The Dalles or at the country
opposite, there had been very great
loss of live stock 10y reason of the cold
and snow. Two parties having very
large bands had suffered to theamount
of $50, 900 each, besides many small
bands had been greatly decimated
That when he left Walla Walla, The
snow was full Ii inches deep and quite
solid. That he there heard that til,

The Norristown (Pa,) Herald in re-
cent issue referred among others, to the
following cases of special interest.
They are their own commentary. Mr..
Samuel c. Nyce. resides at sos Mar
shall street, and holds the responsible
position of journal clerk in the Penn
sylvania legislature, at Harrisburg.
While Mr.. Nyce and family were in
the country recently, his boy, aged
three years, fell and broke his leg, He
recovered, but a very troublesome stiff
ness set in and he could scarcely use
the leg. The inju,e limb was rubbed
several times vita st. Jacobs Oil, and
the stiffness was so much reduced that
the boy was able to use his leg freely.
DR.. knipe said it was the use of st. Ja-
cobs Oil that cured the stiffness. Mr..
Nyce himself used the Great German
Remedy for toothache with good effect,
and also Tor sprain and pains of rheu-
matte nature, and always with good eff
feet. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks
the Oil is splendid thing, and she al.
ways keeps it on hand.

the Medical Profession.
Halt Journal Of Health referring to Con.
sumption, makes the following important state
ment
Consumption usually begins with slight, dry
cough in the morning then, on going to bed, get
ting more and more frequent, with more and more
phlegm increasing debility, thinness Of flesh
shortness OF breath, and quickness If pulse. In
fatal cases its average course is about two years
hence the Importance Of arresting the disease at
as early & stage as possible and the sooner ra-
tonal means are employed for this purpose the
greater the chance of success The disease is
owing to an irritation commencing in the throat
and extending to the lungs, 50 that their action
i. interfered with and the blood does not receive
sufficient oxygen to purify it. The most marke
sign of lung disease is emaciation. and the most
positive indication of returning health is increase
in weight
So speaks Halls Journal Of Heath, and We
may add that in desperate cases and, in fact, in
all of Consumption, troubles of the throat
and lungs immediate relief may be obtained and
a permanent cure effected by the use Of DR.. WIN.
Halls Balsam for the Lungs a medicine known
for more than thirty-fve years as an nnfailing
remedy, for coughs colds bronchitis and pulmo-
nary and pectoral diseases That the worst cases
of consumption have been cured by the use of
Halls Balsam has been sttested by the thousands
who have used it, or have been cognizant Of lis

A SOmnambulistIc Slipper.


In a small village across the bay re-
sides a wel-known clergyman and his
family. One of his sons, who is Just
approaching manhood, has been in the
habit since infancy of walking in his
sleep. Every effort has been made to
break him Of his somnambulistic ten
denotes, but without avail. A short
time ago it was decided by the head OF
the house that the somnambulist
should occupy the same couch with
his elder brother, and the latter was
instructed, in case the boy INDUCED in
any Of his former antics, to administer
severe punishment, in the shape of a
forcible application Of the sole Of a
slipper. The elder boy promised to
carry out his instructions. One night,
short time ago, the father imagined
he heard sounds of disturbance in the
chicken-yard at the rear of the house,
and, fearing that his hen-roost might
be despoiled, entered the room where
the boys were sleeping, and, opening
the window, peered out into the dark
ness to ascertain whether his appre-
tensions were correct The elder son
thought the figure at the window was
that of his brother, and forgetting, in
his zeal, to ascertain if his bedlellow
was quietly reposing or not, leaped
from his couch, seized the ever-ready
slipper, and administered severe cas-
tigation upon the party in undress at
the window. Before the astonished
father could turn he had received some
four or five heavy and singing blows,
and was so surprised and astonished
that for few moments he could hard
" speak a word. The son, when he
realized the situation, was almost par
alyzed, and the scene was ridiculous in
the extreme. When the circumstances
we're explained, however, the clergy
man fully appreciated the joke.

AN OLD-FASHlONED THANKS
GIVING.
FROM s,. Nicholas for Novemeer-l
BY LOUISA N. ALcoTT.

Prom -. Nicholas for NovenbeEl
SIXTY years ago, NJ among the Ne"
Hampshire hills. lived Farmer basset''
with a houseful Of sturdy sons and daugh'
tiers growing up abou; him. They were
poor in money. bu, rich in land and love-
for the wide acres Of wood, corn, anu
pasture land fed, warmed, and clothed
the hock. while mutual patience, aztec
ton, and courage made the old farm
house very happy home.
November had come; the crops were
in, and barn. buttery, and bin were over
flowing with the harvest that rewarded
the summers hard work. The big kteh-
en- was a Jolly place just now, for IN the
great fire place ro4red . cheerful ire on
the walls hung garlands Of dried apples
onions. and corn; up alott from the beams
shone crook necked squashes, juicy hams,
and dried venison-for in those days deer
still haunted the deep forests, and hunt
ers Aourished. Savory smells were IN the
air; on the crane hung steaming kettles,
and down among the red emberS copper
sauce pans simmered, all suggestive OF
some approaching feast.
A white-headed baby lay in the old
blue cradle that had rocked SIX other ba-
bies. now and then lifting his head to
look out, ike a round, full moon, then
subsidized TO kick and crow conten,edly,
and suck the rosy apple he had no teeth
to bite. Two small boys sat on the
wooden settle Smelling corn for popping,
and picking out me bigges; nuts from the
soodly store their own hands had gath
cred in October. -Four young girls stood
at the long dresser, busiy chopping meat,
pounding spice, and shcing apples; and
the tongues of lilly, Prue, Roxy, and
Rhody went as fast as their hands.
Farmer Bassett, and Eph, the Oldest boy,
were "chorin' 'round" outside. for Thanks
giving was at hand, and all must be IN
order for that time-honOred day.
To and fro, from table to hearth. bust
led buxom Mrs. Bassett, flushed and
Aoury, but busy and blthe as the qneen
bee of this busy little hive should be.
81 do like TO begin seasonable and
have things to my mind. Thanksgivin'
dinners can't be drove, and it does take a
sight of victuals to FIJI all these hungry
s,omieks," said the good woman, as she
gave a vigorous stir to the great kettle OF
cider apple-sauce, and cast q glance Of
