Tire Forirrn at Corvallis. The
junior editor t this paper, in com
pany with bis wife and babies, deter
mined to spend the glorious Fourth at
s'orvallis. and two tickets were accord
ingly purchased forthe steamboat trip.
Being informed that the boat wflnld

at tha slowly disttnueniihg steamer
or several consecutive periods. Our

of abject cussitnde. The crowd of
folks returning from seeing the excnr-!
slonlst ofT. who smilingly exclaimed
to u.s. "Why. yon left?" didn't in
crease our serenity of mind any. that
we recomniember. It wasn't likely
we would be standing there with our
family and baggage unless we had
been left, as it were. We told them
the boat had left, certainly. We were
Indlgaatit enotigli to derive consolation I
from seeing the flag ot onr country

measured steps toward home we
turned : but good fortune caused us to !
meet Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Gird
riding in an open buggy, drawn bv a
couple of splendid horses, such as the
latter always drives. Condoling our
"left" condition. Mr. Montgomery
generously offered ns his Shoo-Fly. if
wc would procure a buggy. A little
later, our family and self were seated
in an open buggy, which Mr. Peters
kindly loaned us. and with the lamb

drawn by six lior-es ; citizens on foot
and in carriages. The procession pro
ceeded to the Court Hou-e square,
where, in front of the Court House,
Heats for auditors, and platform for
bauds and speakers had been arranged.
Here the exercises were highly appre
einted. The prayer, by Chaplain

At Brownsvillk. From a gentle
man in attendance at Brownsville on
the 4th Instant, we barn that the cele
bration was a perfect success, and
probably the most complete and
largest rt ended ever lield there.
The procession wa over a mile in
length, was led by the Monmouth
Silver Hand which discoursed sweet
music throughout the dnv. It is
computed that there were more than
. .
one hundred and tiftv wagons In the i
procession, besides two hundred on
horseback. The different States and
Territories were represented by ladies
and gentlemen, on horseback, carrying
banners with the name of the State or
Territory represented by each printed
i thereon. An oration wtw delivered
bv Levi Leland. T... which la highly
spoken of. The ground selected for
j the celebration were just aliove South
, Brownsville, and were well adapted
j for the occasion. One of the principal
! attractions or features of the day was
the singing, oy a class ot little girls,
under the guidance of Mr. Gillxu-t.
The tournament afforded fine amtisc-
ment forthe boys who participate!
as well as tne lookers-on. tint one
mishap occurred to mar the pleasures
of the day. so far as we have learned.
A little bov was accidentally run over
by a horseman, and pretty severely
injured In the afternoon. Rev. W.
R. Bishop and Levi Leland, Esq., de
livered temperance addresses. The
ice cream festival in the evening was
well attended, netting about fifty do!-
lars for the benefit of the M. E. Sun- i
day School.

usual standard excellence, this is rare
praise indeed. It Uhoiuehold, not only

Recorder, .f. Hannon, Esq., on the

TllK Flax Yield. The tla'x yield
i tor the present season in this county
; promises to be splendid. Every where
through the county flax looks better
than at any previnm season, stands
j thicker and is much taller. Mr. W.
H. Miller, near Tangent, has forty-five
acres of flax that averages two feet
eight inches in flight, a specimen of
; which can be seen at tins office. The
i prospect for an unusually large yield,
j not only of flax, but wheat and oats as
well, was never so promising in tins
! county as at present. Added to this
fact, that there is probably one-third
more acreage In grain this season than
ever before, nil idea may he formed of
the immense amount of grain to 1
cared for by our fanners, should noth-
ing intervene to destroy the nrosriect

There is notli-

of this kind, free to all. The block

obtained on reasonable terms, would
make an excellent park, properly en-
