MEDICINE TOOK FIRST DOSE OF AD-
 vERTIsING.
 So great has been the attention att uracted in this city by the unique ad- vertising campaign carried on by the Danbury Pharmacal company in call ing the public attention to the merits of it's now famous Linonine, that the fact that it was just year ago to-day that Linonine took its first dose of newspaper advertising and found in it the elixir of life, sweet as cream, and the tonic of business, is worthy of con- ment.
 The results have been most remark able. What Linonine is to the man afflicted with cough or cold or any of the kindred ills, advertising has been toLinonine. A year ago to-day, when it's first advertisement to the general public was inserted in the Evening News, it was scarcely known outside the medical profession, to whom it had al years. Its sales in Danbury during the previous year had been just little short of one hundred bottles. As soon as the coughing, hacking, wheezing, remedy-seeking public learned what Linonine was and what it was good for and how good it was it began to buy it.. The sales increased, slowly at first, and | then by leaps and bounds, as the doses of advertising elixir became stronger and more frequent. From 100 bottles the sales of the medicine in this city alone have increased through one years advertising to 1000 bottles and the demand for it is increasing every day
 No such sale of medicine in city of Danbury's size has ever been heard of before and the success achieved by Linonine has attracted attention from druggistsand advertising men through. out the country.
 In connection with the work in Dan bury. w. F. Dobbs, who is administer ing the advertising elixir to Linonine is carrying on similar campaigns in g score of other cities in this state and elsewhere, and everywhere with re suits similar to those attained in Dan bury, in proportion to the amount ot energy, ink and space expended in eacf place. Linonine is lusty, growing elixir absorbing youngster on its tirs' anniversary and seems destined tt have national reputation in yer! few years.-l Danbury News.

The walking sick, what a crowd of them there are: Persons who are thin and weak but not sick enough to go to bed~>
 "Chronic cases" that's what the doctors call them, which in common English means-lohg sickness. To stop the continued loss of flesh they need Scott Emulsion. For the feeling of weakness they need Scott's Emulsion.
 It makes new flesh and gives new life to the weak system.
 Scott's Emulsion gets thin and weak persons out of the rut. It makes new, rich blood, strengthens the nerves and gives appetite for ordinary food.
 ScOtt's Emulsion can be taken as long as sickness lasts and do good all the time.
 There's new strength and flesh in every dose.

FEEDING THE BIRDS.
BY o. o. WRIGHT.

The present season is hard one for our winter birds. The snow is so deep, and has staid on so long, with no thaws to speak of, that the food supply of the proper kind must be very much limited.
 Our feathered friends who stay with us, do not, it is said, suffer from the cold if they can obtain the kinds of fooG they need. But when starvation and extreme low temperature come together it means death, without de- lay. It is reported that m any of our game birds have already perished.
 It is easy enough to feed the birds which tarry about our homes; and it is not only humane thing to do; but it is very entertaining and instructive as we'll, to. welcome these beautiful, happy creatures to our yards, and doors, and windows.
 Most of the birds will eat beef suet, and peck at bones. The seed-eaters naturally prefer grain, or crumbs of bread. The pot-skimmings of fresh boiled meat will do, or any old thing, in time of pinching, perhaps. Piec- es of suet< may be tied, or nailed to trees, or fences. A shallow dish, or basket for crumbs may be hung on a tree or fastened to a post. But if you would enjoy the fun, fasten a piece of bread near south window, we'll above the ground, and on that place crumbs and small bits of suet, and keep the cat shut in, and in a few days you will have a Ane pro- cession as often as you put out a sup ply.
 We have had the chickadees; juncos, or common snow birds. nuthatches, red-headed wood peckers; bluejays and the beaStly sparrOws of course;-all in one morning visitation; and the show pays, and more, for all the trouble. Each kind is study as to personality, habits, manners, and characteristics, and it is interesting to note just how they treat each other, for there is a certain clement of human nature in them all.
 We have noted that the little chick. adee is sprightly and cheerful. One at a time they come to the board as a rule, though there may be several each gets bite and flies away, ano seldom two feed together.
 The juncos come in little flocks, anc prefer to pick their feed from the snow. They are social but quiet, anc l appear to be friends of the chickadees
 A single nuthatch comes in great haste and is almost fierce in his man ner, aggressive and swift. He drives the smaller kinds away.
 The woodpecker is solitary, and doe: not notice the others, but attends ]strictly to business.
 The bluejay looks bold and ferocious but acts with great caution, taking ; big mouthful to safe place to eat it
 It is amusing how quickly they al know when there is a good, squar, meal in sight: and they soon gain con idence.

WhentheCivil War broke out, and the PresidentTof the United States called for volunteers, among the first to re- spond from Newtown was Charles W. Dayton, //whose home was in Sandy Hook. He had not been long at the front, before some evil-minded person circulated reports derogatory to his loyalty, the result of which was the receipt of a letter from headquarters, addressed to my father, who was then living in Sandy Hook at the Merritt homestead, opposite the grist mill. The letter is all the more interesting because it concerns one of our much respected citizens, who is still living among us. It was found among my fathers papers after his death, and l think it just tribute to loyal man, who I do not suppose has any knowl- edge of it's existence. It will be a pleasurezto to me to turn it over to him, that it may be an heirloom in his fam fly down to the latest generation, to whom it will have more than a money value.-[E. L. J.] The letter was as follows:
 Camp near Kelly's Ford, Va., August l6, 1863. Charles Johnson, Esq, Dear Sir: l learn from good authority, that story is in circulation and has gained cre' dence that c. w. Dayton from Sandy Hook, Ct., is any thing but true and loyal man. I was taken prisoner at the late battle of Charlottesville and have but recently joined my command
 The honor of every member of my company is dear to me and 0. w. Day ton being among that number, I take great pleasure, even at this late date in pronouncing the statement utterly false, and in order to do an act of jus tice to man who has faithfully dis charged his duty as soldier or in any capacity in which he may have beer called upon to act. If the originator of the base lie are residents of thu Hook they would have showed mucl better spirit by shouldering their m us kets and giving years of their lift to their country in her peril than b. remaining at home and villifying ; man whom they would not dare sa. aught against were he at home to fore
 the lie down their cowardly and trait orous throats. Hoping that afte reading this you will, when opportu nifty offers, do justice to an absen soldier, I remain, Very respectful your obedient ervant,-[Henry D Pardee, Captain 20th Conn. Vols. Commanding Company F.

Our Brainy Contempor aries.

About week ago the citizens
of Corvallis-a part of them at
least-took two of the sect,
known in common parlance, as
Holy Rollers from their home and
applied to them a coat of tar and
feathers, and On the following
night, hearing that they had re-
turned, again visited the house
with the avowed intention of
taking them out and hanging
them. Now to man in the dis
tant background it looks very
much as if these Corvallisites
were carrying their hatred of a
religious sect entirely too far.
It may be and no doubt is true
that these so called Holy Rollers
are not in line with the modern
idea of religious worship but
surely they are not entitled to the
rough treatment they have re-
ceived. They are accused of
nothing worse than praying, long
and loud and of possibly roasting
a few ''prowling cats" on bon
FIRE. Since the stoning of Stephen
it has been a popular amusement
with the people of all ages to abuse
religious fanatics or those whom
they did not consider strictly Or
thodox, yet in every instance re-
corded in sacred or profane his
tory future events have clearly
showed the lack of wisdom on
the part of the aggresso1s. We
know nothing of the merits of
the beliefs of the Holy Rollers,
but will venture the assertion
that Corvallis is and has been for
years past tolerating things. be-
side which the Holy Rollers
would appear as pure gold beside
tarnished brass. 1t is to be
doubted whether the Holy Roll
ers have transgressed the laws of
moderation and reason any fur
ther than have those who have
prosecuted them.--Lebanou cri-
terion.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

S. L. Kline, prominent mer-
chant of Corvallis, is registered
at the Portland. His name has
been mentioned as one of the
National commissioners for the
Lewis and Clark Fair, says the
Portland Oregonian. Among,,all
the prominent business men of
Central Oregon no man stands
higher, or is better qualified for
the position than S. L. Kline, of
this city. The commissioner
should be man of broad views,
loyal to his state, well informed
on public questions, and one who
would work heartily for the best
interests of this section. We
feel assured that no better ap-
pointment could be made. We
hope to see the matter confirmed
at an early date.
The more this matter of a
Portage railroad along the Col
umbia is stirred up, the worse it
smells. The government has
shown its good will toward the
canal by having already set aside
funds for removing an obstruc-
ton in the river below the canal
mouth. Do not let the poll
ticians cause any delay in the
work of obtaining the right of
way for the canal. The o. R.
g. N. Co., which owns fully half
of the land required will sell at
once, for a fair price, and give a
good title, all their land required
for the canal. All the other
owners have also expressed their
willingness to sell on the same
tair terms. There is absolutely
no reason why the right of way
should not be obtained and plac-
ed in the Governments possession
within month. Then the Gov
ernment could commence work
in the spring. But the o. R. &
N. Co. will not sell any land for
right of way for a portage rail-
road, and will not deliver it on
compulsion until it has been
fought through all the courts up
to the supreme court. The
canal can be half finished before
the portage road could be started
If the railroad company that is
so anxious to have this railroad
built in order that they may lease
it and thereby get another road
into Portland is in any kind of a
hurry they had better build it
themselves. 1t will save time,
but then there would be nothing
in it for the Portland grafters.
Where would the $3.50, 900 of the
peoples money be by the time the
portage road got right down to
the actual business of laying the
rails? Echo answers, nit. /

The newspapers of the State do
WRONG in speaking lightly of the
tarring and feathering of the So
called 'Holy Rollers" of Corval-
lis. Since the days when Lord
Baltimore guaranteed religious
toleration in the colony of Mary
land, there has been need for. de-
manding toleration, even of those
whose views may seem absurd to
us. Once start the craze of tar
ring and feathering every absurd
form of religious worship, and
the evil will spread, and the mon
ster of intolerance will demand
as many victims as the French
revolution. If there are persons
who, in the guise of religious
worship, commit infractions of
the moral or criminal laws, let
them be tried by the courts, and
under the laws of the land. It is
only ignorance and brutality of
the most fragrant character to re-
sort to force and cowardly mob
rule. Unless checked it will be
resorted to more and more, until
religious freedom is annihilated.
