Last Sunday the new church at Taalatin was dedicated. It was crowded as full as it wild hold. It was expected that Rev. Mr. ihorey, of Portland, would preach the dedi catory sermon, but unfortunately he was ill and could not attend, and the sermon was preached by Rev. C. . Clapp, of Port land. After the sermon it was announced that there was a debt of seven hundred dol lars that they would like to pay. Subscrip tions were called for, and they got ei;ht ight hundred and fifty-five dollars. Married, at the residence of the grandfa ther, Miss Tilda Wilson and Mr. Henry Toss, all of Clackamas county.

A stranger arriving among our hills will stand upon a promontory and look up and down Sandy river. The "clearings" are so mall and the interval of fir woods so great, he concludes there must be plenty of vacant land. Coming from a more open country he has yet to learn that something besides a plowshare is needed to conquer Western Or egon. The honest immigrant who so long has wished for a "chance to work" will find it here. To the lazy land grabber, seated in bis saddle, the sight of a tree seven feet thick excites only disgust. He prefers to see others clearing land than to do it him self. But braver sinews are slowly develop ing the wealth that here reposes under the juda mask of nature. Thus we pondered endow Brack. Ystenlay your correspondent ealled on Ur. V. Kabesou at his Harm font miles east of Meadow Brook pot offlca, fur th pur pose of gleaning some information on pmn culture for tlie column of your journal. Cpoti introducing our business we tound that veteran horticulturist qait willing to conduct us through hit promising young orchard which has just dropped its blot soma, which are replaced by tlioutaadt irf plumt, prune, apples, etc. HI trees are neatly white washed and jnned. Ocv tiondly we wonld e a tree bearing n it branhsas many different tarieties f it kind. In anwertnaquMla, Mr. RohFson aid h coniared that in n way nuM wna owner rata larger rtnrn tnau m planting to prunes, the Italian variety be ing in all respects preferable. U said. there are two methods of starting a prune orchard. In th lint plac. If yaur land it cleared and in cultivation, by all meant buy young trees, two year old growth from a reliable nursery. They will cost lis per hundred. In two years your orchard will begin bearing. We askiit wl.at would bethe most eco nomical yet surest method of establishing a prune orchard ou a lucrative ba-iis by an energetic man with but little ready rash? The reply was, if some of those fellows that are daily arriving here from the Fast, and looking for desirable locations wherewith to build up a prosperous home and earn a good living, and best of all I their own masters, and were "heeled" with four or live hundred dollars, they could do no better than turn hither their fontste- s. They would not find aland tloaiug with milk and honey, or line farms stocked anil seeded to take up as homesteads, as many expect to find, and not finding return forthwith to thelandof grasshopers and cyclones, dis gusted with the Hint-hearted (?) West. But tliey would find splendid land easily cleared, that may be purchased from seven to ten dollars er acre on easy installments; ami my advice would be if they intended tn-ag-ing in horticulture to limit their purchase to lorty acre, for th lest land one owns the better cultivation will it have. The first half acre the purchaser plow let him plant in peach pits, which may be obtained in al most any quantity at canneries. Ifbyth end of two years he has twenty acres cleared and plowed he would be ready to transplant early in the spring about four thousand five hundred young peach trees from hit ama teur nursery. In August or September, or as soon as the bark will -lip, bad each peach just above the earth with the Italian prune. The following February cut off the entire peach tree just above the bud, and in two yean you have a hardy bearing prune orch ard that in two mere years will yield a larger net revenue annually than several hundred acres of grain. We further learned, that for the first two years crops of corn, potatoes, or other pro duce may be raised betwri-n rows; but it is not prudent to tax the ground with other crops after the second year. The opinion of many horticulturists after years of eierienee is, that the best results are obtained by planted prune trees ten feet apart each way, and pruning the lower branches off, thus growing fine tall trees. and shading the ground beneath. The ground should be well cultivated annually, Mr. Robeson i-ave us a practical illustra- tion of the various methods of grafting and budding, both ancient and modern, but which we will not enter into in this paper. After thanking the gentleman for his courtesy we continued on our way to the Mnntainilale school house, and listened with interest to a discourse by Key. J. H. Har- greaves, on "One Lord, one Faith, slid one Baptism;" thence down to Bethel, where, at 4 P. M.he preached a forcible sermon from the 18th chapter of 1st Kings. We learn that a son of Mr. Howard is ly ing very low with what U supposed to be la grippe, and that one of Mr. Holman's children is also quite ill. We understand that on Raturlay, while John Scott was engaged in breaking a horse the animal backed into an open well which was large and over forty feet deep, with only about three or four feet of water. By means of pulleys, and an abundance of skill and trouble, the horse was finally rescued. Phimix. May 20, 1801.
