Written for the Columbia Spy
Sallie Clinetop.
BY HENRY J. HOWARD.
Let Poets sing of dainty curls,
And jetty, waving hair;
Let beauty smile on pretty girls, ,
And boast of lassies fair ;
Let lovers kneel at Cupid's shrine,
And lisp their admiration,
But I'll sing, in a verse benign,
Miss Clinetop's adoration.
When Venus, goddess of tha space
Where Beauty reigns supreme,
First snaild upon her fair young faco,
It was no fairy dream.
For then she placed upon her brow,
The bright hue of the skies,
And set the love-glance beaming now
From Sallie Clinetop's eyes.
'Tis,said that Cupid's deaf and blind,
Beauty a fading flower,
That Love is of ajealous kind,
Possesqing harmless power ;
But Sallie Cllnetop, pretty maid,

Another Letter from. Oregon.
WIND MOUNTAIN, Jan. 22d '66.
To-day lam seated in the same place
as on Saturday. Two small sticks which
are burning lazily; and dizzling a little
in the fire place keep me quite comforta
ble, and I am myself again. If you
were to come in you would find the
cracks through•whieh I studied astron
omy last winter, pasted up with old news
papers, to keep out cold. By the way,
I've not seen a paper for a long time.
One Spy has come to me since Nov. Ist.
I don't know even as the world moves,as
I can't see the sun,and it will be four or
five weeks before he will show his face. I
don't know .anything of news, and I am
closed up here from communication with
my neic:hbors, for I have not ashes
enough to sprinkle on the way fo keep
Inc from slipping were.l to Wish to visit
them.
- You have received my first shopping
tour in Oregon, I shall send you soon a
description•of my first visiting tour. But
where are my " notes ?" I've been
di
grossing. I've told you of our cold
weather, let me tell you how it found
some of our neighbors. One it found
out of wood and he had to pack his wood
from the forest 'on snow shoes to keep
him warm. Another was out of provis
ion, and he had to foot it seven miles
for one bag of flour, all he could get ;
another was out of provision and he
went 15 miles in a skiff, after the river
opened, to get his supply and after he
had got about half way home, the skiff
upset, and the fishes got his supplies and
he got a cold bath. Now the river is
closed again and he cannot get any. He
probably has potatoes and can live. We
had our supplies and a good beef to kill,
and are all right. This leads me to speak
of the crops this year. Our own have
come out well. I spoke of our garden, in
a former letter. We had all the vegeta-
bles we needed for summer use, and
some to put in the cellar, (which letime
state is a rare thing to be found here in
Oregon.) They dig down into the
ground, and lay boards over the hole,
cover up high with dirt, leaving au
opening with a trap door, Or they
build a log hut and bank it up deep on
all sides, and top with an opening for
door—or if near a hill they dig into it,
board up front and bank that well. We
planted potatoes, on the bottom land, af
ter the river went down from off it, also
beets, turnips, beans peas and set out
cabbage, and this was about 15th of
July. Potatoes turned out splendidly,
100 bushels from about half an acre, a
number which he brought in weighed
two pounds, and measured 16h inches,
two weighed 2} each and measured 11
inches long and 9 inches round. We
had string beans and cucumbers long af
ter their usual season had passed. I
picked strawberry blossoms, white and
red clovers, in October, honeysuckle and
other flowers were in bloom , till Nov.—
The only fault I find with Oregon, is
lyou cannot depend on the weather,there
are hardly two days alike through the
winter and no two winters alike. That
does not seem like the description given
me, before I came out here. Oregon is
great for fruit. I've seen apples and
pears measuring 14 and 15 inches, but
I've given in my last letter from Fisher's
Landing, (have you read it ?) a full ac
count of the size and description of some
big ones. I only can add that the abun
dance of fruit has made it worthless,and
farmers have not even taken pains to
gather it in. Now if some yankees had
come out here and put up cider mills in
various sections. they would have coined
money. The apples that now are rotting'
on the ground by the thousand bushels,
and I do not exaggerate a jot,could have
$2,00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,50 w,NOT PAID IN ADVANCE.
been had for the trouble of taking them
away. Cider is worth 50 cents per gal
lon by the barrel and vinegar 75 cents
per gallon. A fortune is rotting on the
ground. There are no cider mills here.
Send along the cider mills. A cooper
would need to come along with each, to
make the barrels. Barrels acd firkins
are unknown articles here, only as they
come from the States, flour is "done up"
in sacks (they laughed at me because I
called them bags,) butter is done up in
sacks, and everything which can be, is
done up in sacks.
Fifteen miles above- me there are
thousands of bushels of apples rotting on
the ground and we cannot have one to
eat. We could have, and for nothing,
all we could store up,could we get them,
but the trail is so rough we could not
bring them over it.
We cut wild hay sufficient to ke3p a
cow and calf, and we consider ourselves
in prime order, for a long or short win
ter. We enjoy perfect health and are
happy and contented. I've no desire to
go back to "America." It is a beautiful
country. The beauty of its scenery makes
up for the fickleness of its climate. Mt
Hood is its chief glory. I'm not ashamed
to be a "Webfoot."
There are other "notes" I might take
but; I think its time to stop. Husband
"thinks (he often thinks out loud. I
here give you the benefit of his thoughts
for once) that the editor will not thank
me for boring him with such long let
ters, and don't know but lie would write
a line if he 'did not think I wrote enough
for the whole family."
It is three o'clock P. M. Old Sol is
somewhere behind Mt. Hood, for it is
growing dark and I must stop. It looks
now as though it would rain by to-mor
row. Wind is up stream and that'brings
rain always. So guesses your Columbia
River correspondent.

Chloride of Lime.
The season for a free use itir—di-sinfeet
ing agents is rapidlfdrawirig near. After
a complete renovation of cellars, vaults,
etc., etc., about our premises, the next
thing in order is the free and continued
use of a disinfectant. Perhaps no
cheaper or better can be found than
chloride of lime. It appears to be pos
sessed of other virtues!, also,as the fbllow
ing from 'a London (England) paper
attests :
"Some years ago I read in a French
scientific periodical that chloride of lime
would rid a house of all vermin. I treas
ured up the information until an oppor
tunity offered fur testing its value. I
took an old country house, infested with
rats, mice and flies. I stuffed every knot
hole and mouse-hole with the chloride.
I threw it on the stone floor of the dairy
and cellars. I kept saucers of it under
neath chests of drawers, or some other
convenient piece of furniture; in every
nursery, bed or dressing-room. An or
namental glass held a quantity at the
foot of each staircase. Cow sheds,stables,
and pig•styes, all had their dose and the
result was glorious. I thoroughly routed
my enemies; and if the rats, more impu
dent than all the rest, did make renewed
attacks upon the dairy, in about ten
months, when probably repeated cleans
ing had removed all traces of it, the
chloride again routed them and left me
master of my own premises. Last summer
was a great one for wasps. They could
not face the chloride; though in the
dining room, in which we had none—as
its smell, to me most refreshing and
wholesome, is not approved of by all per
sons—we have a perpetual warfare. And
all this comfort for eight-pence. Only
let housewives beware that they place not
the chloride in their china pantries, or
in too close proximity to bright steel
' wares,or the result will be that the gilded
china will be reduced to plain; and their
bright steel fenders to rusty iron, in a
short time.
"We advise a trial of the chloride o
lime for the " vermin" that infest the
grape vines ; those pests, the rose bugs ;
also the squash bugs, and the cucumber
bugs, and indeed, for all the bug family,
so well known to gardeners and farmers."

years of age, hearing some gentlemen, at
his father's table, discussing the familiar
line, "An hnnest man is the noblest work

was ever made
—"Tilly," said a mother to her little
daughter, who ha'l seen but five sum
mers, "what should you do without your

prompt reply.
[WHOLE NUMBER 11911.
The Deacon who Erred.
In one of our puritanical towns,in New
England, lived Deacon Brown, a very
staid, dignified sort of a christian, and a
model of propriety. Deacon - Brown had
the misfortune to lose his wife,and at the
age of forty, found himself with a family
of four small children without a mistress
to his farm house. As he could not im
mediately take another wife, and avoid
exciting scandal,and could not get along
without some one to take charge of the
kitchen and nursery, he had recourse to
employing a young woman as housemaid.
Nancy Stevens was a laughing, romp
ing beauty, who delighted in experiment
i jug upon the deacon by way of testing
the strength of human nature.
, For a
1 long time the deacon was invulnerable,
but at last, in a moment •-' 7 of unragarded
weakness,he was led into temptation,and
into committing a " slight indiscretion"
with his beautiful housemaid. When he
recovered his wonted coolness and pres
ence of mind, he was horrified at the
enormity of his sin. In vain he repent
ed and grieved over lost virtue. Finally,
as a last effort for easing his conscience,
at the conclusion of the services on the
following Sabbath morning, he arose and
requested the forbearance of the brothers
and sisters a moment,when he electrified
them by the following confession : " My
Christian friends, you all know that I
lost my dear wife some months ago,(sobs
and tears) and that Nancy Stevens has
been keeping house for me; and you
know that I have a little child not a gear
old, Well sometimes that little child
cried so hard that Nancy arose and came
into the room and leaned over the bad to
hush the child; and,brothers and sisters,
her leaning over me, made me forget
Christ." (Here the worthy deacon
broke down entirely, and stood weeping
and wailing and blowing his nose.)—
" What did you do ?" demanded the
minister sternly. " I—l—ki—kissed
her !" stammered out the deacon; " but
'I have been-very sorry about it, and
prayed to be forgiven. I want you to
pray for me, and to forgive me brothers
and sisters." As the deacon bowed him
self upon the seat like the mighty oak
before the tornado, Deacon Goodfellow
arose and astonished the audience still
more by saying : "Brothers and sisters,
you have heard what brother Brown has
said, and how he wants us to forgive
him. For my part, I believe that he is
truly penitent, and I am willing to for
give him with all my heart. And I will
add still farther, that if I had no wife,
and a pretty girl like Nancy Stevens
should come into my room and lean over
my bed, and lean over me, I'd kiss her
—Christ or no Christ."
Internal Revenue Decision.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that all expenses for insu
rance upon property and all actual losses
in business may be deducted from the
gross amount of the year ; but losses
sustained after December 31, 1865,cannot
reduce the income for the year. Losses
incurred in the prosecution of one kind
of business may be deducted from gains
in an other, but not from those
. portions
of income derived from fixed investment,
such as bonds, mortgages, rents, and the
like. Assessors should also be careful
not to allow the deductions of amounts
claimed to have been lost in business,
when in reality they should be regarded
as investments or expenditures, as when
' merchants expend money in farming or
gardening for recreation or adornment,
other than pecuniary profit. Persons
traveling about the country as agents of
one person or a firm only,such as salaried
clerks or men hired by the month,should
not be required to take licences as com
mercial brokers. All parts of decision
No. 195 inconsistent herewith are hereby
revoked.
DEATH FROM TOOTRACHE--A very
singular death from the effects of tooth
ache has taken place at Wick. Ronald
Doull, fisherman, after suffering consid
erably from one of his teeth, had it ex
tracted, after which he is said to have
rinsed his mouth with soda water, and
proceeded to sea. When there he was
taken seriously ill with pain in the gum,
which increased to such an alarming ex
tent that his fellow-fisherman had to pre
vent him from j umping, overboard during
the paroxysms of extreme pain. Ile was
brought.to shore as soon as possible, and
infiammation,followed by mortification in
the head having ensued, he died on Fri
day after enduring dreadful torture.—
