A friend requests us to give place to the
following linos, written by I>. Jb, while on a
visit to the scenes of his childhood :
TO LEWISTOWN.
Home of my birth! I love thee still,
Tho long I've wandered from thee.
Thy Creek, thy Mountain, and the Bill
That winds along above thee.
I love to wander round and see
The lovely haunts, where, when a boy,
I sported o'er with merry glee,
Midst pleasure that knew no alloj'.
I love to think of friends who shared
Those pleasing childish sports with me,
When troubled-sorrow— naught had dared
To cross our path to spoil our glee.
But time has changed that lively scene.
And silvered o'er our heads with gray-
But still I can't forget the green
Called Eden, where we used to play.
Far, far, I've roamed since first I left
The Juniata's lovely stream,
AN here every turn, and nook, and cleft
I've known—but now 'tis like a dream.
Tis strange—how memory clings to home,
To scenes and things of childhood's hour;
To friends who o'er tho world may roam,
Or those within their natal bower.
And still among tho friends and things
I've lost and found since far away :
There's nothing missing like the spring,
That through tho gun barrel forced its way.
And now, 'Old Town,' a long farewell,
■ . . . ." '
I no er may visit you again,
But on thee memory still shall dwell,
•So long as you and friends remain,
littler l'rom Oregon.
Extract of a letter front James A. Kelly, Esq.,
lo a friend in Lnrisloicn. dated
OREGON Cm*. June sth, 1852.
A on ask me to give you my opinions of the
advantages, if any, which Oregon possesses
over Pennsylvania to one in your circum
stances of life. It is, with me, always a
matter of delicacy to use inducements to
persuade any < no to emigrate here, simply
for the reason that all men d< not see things
in the same light, and it is possible that it I
should induce any one to come hither to live,
such person might not be as well satisfied
with the country as 1 am. Still lam quite
willing to express my own opinions, and give
any information when it is asked of me.
This 1 shall endeavor to do candidly. It is
certainly true that a man can live in this
country with much less labor than in Penn
sylvania. Tak.j for instance the life of a
farmer in t 'regoii compared with that of one
in Mitflin county, lb-re the soil is equally as
good as that of Kisharo piilias Valley for the
raising of all kinds of grain except Indian
corn. .Nn Oregon fanner does not, by any
means, bestow as much labor by ploughing
and harrowing the ground in which he sows
his wheat, and yet on an average 1 think,
(from all I can learn from men of undoubted
vera' ity ) tlicr- is no doubt but that an acre
of land here will yi'dd more bushels of wheat
than one in the Kishacoquillas Valley, and
better grain too. This i< saying a great deal.
1 know, but I b'g you will allow nie t > sav it
is true. The grain here always ripens
during the diy season, and is never injured
by rust or mildew. The farmer here can
harvest bis grain at his leisure, as no rains
fall until S qit. mber, and most g nerailv not
before November. Aerain a fa-nier in Oregon,
if he be indolent, as is too often tie case, can
let bis land from which he has reaped a crop
of wheat, remain without ploughing, and he
will the next year have a fair, average crop,
that is self sown, or as they call it here, a
volunteer crop. This, 1 admit, is not the pro
per manner to farm, but it is too often done,
nevertheless. Here also a fanner is freed
from all care of providing food for his cattle
in the winter season. Snow seldom falls
more than six inches deep, and then it does
not remain on the ground but a day or two
at a time, and the farmer turns his cattle upon
his fields or the plains, where they graze
throughout tie* year.
Since the discovery of the gold mines in
California, in 1848, market produce of all
kinds in Oregon has commanded extravagant
prices, and even now, when there is stability
in our markets, they are such that a farmer
who attends to bis business, cannot fail to be
come rich in a few years. Xur is there any
likelihood that there will ever be a want of a
market, for all our farmers can raise and at
higher prices than in any of the Atlantic
States. There are still vast tracts of land in
Oregon, both prairie and wood land, and of
excellent quality, that are yet unclaimed,
it is true, much of this land is remote from
the settlements, and of course will be occu
pied only as the settlements are extended.
But I mention this to let you know that you
need have no apprehensions of being unable
to obtain a farm in ease it i your desire to
come here.
I cannot say whether you could profitably
follow your trade of cabinet making or not,
but I am inclined to believe that you could
follow some other pursuit that would bo more
lucrative. Nearly all our household furni
ture is brought from the States via (.'ape
Horn, and can be brought cheaper than it
can be manufactured here, owing to the high
price of labor, and yet, perhaps, it would be
a profitable business to mend furniture when
it becomes broken. Of this, however, vou
could judge best when you come here. You
may lie well assured that your trade will nut
be useless, even in house building and finish
ing, and I think I might safely say that you
wJuld make from 85 to 8* per day, either at
vour trade of cabinet making, or at carpenter
ing. The ordinary wages of day laborers is
now about $3 and board, and for laborers bv
the month on farms, from 860 to S80 per
month and board.
The country is very healthy, far more so
than in Lewistown or any place along the Ju
niata. It is true, we have some cases of fe
ver and ague along the low lands of the Co
lumbia and Willamette rivers, but they are
mild in form and readily yield to medical
treatment. We have a great many Indians
here, but you need be under no fear from
thorn. They are peaceable and no more to be
dreaded than so many sheep, and in a few
years they will till be gone, as they are fast
dying off.
Upon the whole, I am of opinion that you
could decidedly better your condition in lilt)
by coming to Oregon and making it a perma
nent home. By industry I think you cannot
fail to do well. Many persons who have gone
from here back to the States, have again re
turned here, unable to content themselves
with a life in the older States. You may
and undoubtedly will be somewhat homesick
for the tirst ye ror two. At least I have no
doubt your lady will be, as I find from obser
vation and conversation with women, that
they at first pine more for a return to a
!j?, r ? lcr . nie j' ian Jo the generality of men.
I Ins feeling is very natural, and indeed it
could hardly be expected that one, particu
larly a lady, should give up the society of;
friends and acquaintances, renounce the
comforts of a former home, and settle down
in a sparsely populated country among stran
gers, without now and then giving a sigh or a j
wish to be again back to the homo that was
left behind. But I have as little doubt that
if you live here three years, you and your
wife would far prefer it to Pennsylvania. ;
Recollect I am only giving you my own opin- j
ion, not my advice about coming. Of this !
you must be your own judge.
As <o giving advice about the routes to Ore
gon, I scarcely know what to say. 1 may say, i
however, that you should confine yourself to J
one of two routes, either byway of Panama, !
or across the plains. The former is the most 1
speedy and the least fatigue attending it, but
it is the most unhealthy. lam not prepared I
to say what would likely be the cost of coming i
that way, but I think if you would call on
Mrs. Hopper, of Lewistown,. she could likely
give you that information, as no doubt her
husband has written to her about the expenses '
of that route.
The journey across the plains, of course,
is attended with no little labor or fatigue, and
usually occupies from April to August, Sep
tember or October. On an average it may be
said to take four or four and a half months.
With good mules it may be performed in
tiiree. This route has the advantage over
others in this, that it costs but very little.
The oxen or mules and wagons used in cross
ing are worth more here (unless worn out)
than you pay for them in the States, anil
there is very little other expense besides
these and provisions on the way. This route
is undoubtedly healthy, and the danger from
Indians is nothing, if parties do not become
careless and separate from each other. And
I have no doubt but that troops will be sta
tioned along the route by the government in
order to protect the emigrants. lam inclined
to believe, upon the whole, that for a family
like you have, this would be the best route.
It you conclude to come, and after YOU have
determined upon the route, if you will write
to me, I will endeavor to collect information
relating to minor matters in traveling that
may he useful to you, and shall take great
pleasure in communicating it to you.
Since writing the above, I went into a re
tad merchant's store, next door to my office,
and requested him to give me the average
prices of farm products as they have ranged
for the last year. 1 will give them below. 1
will observe that this man is a dealer like
your merchants in Lewistown, buying the
produce id' farms and paying either in rash
or goods; and I would further state that
prices within the last year are lower than they
have been for years before, and 1 think they
will remain fur some years at about what
they now are. Wheat ought to lie higher,
and would no doubt be so it we had eompeti-
tion among tho manufacturers of flour as
you have in Pennsylvania. Flour sells here
at from 88 to 812 per bid. now, and yet wheat
is only one dollar per bushel. Many of our
tanners refuse to sow wheat, simply because
they cannot get more than $1 to 81,50 per
bushel. Th ■ prices are as follows: Wheat 81 a
81,26 per bushel: oats 50 to 75 cents per
bushel; potatoes 50 to >1 per bushel; cows
840 to 850: Indian ponies or horses S4O to
860; American horses 8100 to 8150 ; Amer
ican mares (breeding) 8l<)0 to 8200; oxen
800 to 8125 per yoke : live hogs from 8 to 11
cents per lb.; eggs 2o to .50 cents per dozen ;
chickens from 50 to 75 cuts a piece ; butter
from go to 624 cents pe. ib. 1 beli ve the.-.'
prices are under rather than over, as 1 have
taken care to give you the lowest estimate.
These prices are those of Oregon city. About
one hundred or one hundred and fifty miles
south of this they are higher, owing to the
vicinity of the gold mines.

ENGLAND.—The general elections through
out the kingdom were not quite concluded
when the 1 lermann left. Enough was known,
however, of the general result, to render it
certain that the Earl of Derby's Administra
tion was not able to command a working ma
jority in the Commons. The indications were
that the Government would have but a very
short tenure of power.
The I'eel party, headed by Sir James Gra
ham, would most undoubtedly join the ranks
of the liberal party, and an attempt to impose
a tax on food would be most successfully re
sisted in the new Parliament.
The Queen, Prince Albert and the Court
had embarked for a shortoruise. It isthought
that they may stop at Cork.
I ITKLA.NO — Election Riots. —A letter from
Downpatrick gives tire particulars of some
riots consequent upon the county election now
in progress there.
FRANCE.—The Paris Moniteur publishes
the most fulsome telegraphic despatches from
the various points along the route passed by
the President, stating that he was everywhere
received with the most joyous and enthusias
tic acclamations, reproducing the same stylo
of high-sounding phrases with which the of
ficial organ of the French Government was
formerly accustomed to chronicle the royal
progresses of Charles X. and Louis Philippe,
not iong before their fall. The President vis
ited Strasburg on the 18th ult., where extra
ordinary fetes and illuminations were pre
pared. and a monster review and sham tight
took place.
If Louis Napoleon was really Emperor, no
greater state magnificence could be adopted
to give eclat to his progress through the de
partments.
The branch railroad connecting Hanover,
Pennsylvania, with Baltimore, was opened
for trade and travel on Wednesday.
The Northumberland Bridge, on the Sunbn
ry side of the North Branch, was blown down
last week. The bridge was nearly new, hav
ing been rebuilt but a few years since.

desirable in the country.
The WARES manufactured at this establish
ment are far superior to any oilier in the six
counties, and have a reputation that will ever se
cure the patronage of the public, from the fact
of the material being inexhaustible, and con
nected with the concern by a lease of a number
of years.
The business of Potting has been carried on
successfully at this stand by myself and father
for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad
vertisement to prove its advantages as a busi
ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in
connection with the concern, w ill also be sold,
if purchasers desire it.
For further information, apply to the under
signed on the premises, or bv mail to Lewistown
P. O.
The business will be conducted as here
tofore until further notice. All orders prompt
ly attended to, and wholesale merchants allowed
the ufcai discount upon the delivery of their or
ders.
Possessiou given on or after Ist January next,

the Diamond, in Reeds
ville, .Mifflin county, with

avenue (the Centie and Kishacoquillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county,
intersec.ts the Centre and lxishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ness—so that few places olFer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula
tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied
by W'm. J. Glass, deceased.
