The Xeiv York Sunday Mercury claims that the debt of that city amounts to nearly $170,000,000. A large amount, certainly.

Tuttie. writing to the Portland Bulletin, calls attention to a branch of j industry which might be entered into largely In Oregon, with the most profitable results, If his fignres are j correct. The branch of industry to j which he calls attention is the eulti- j Vflflon of the prune or plum. The i statement made is that the business cannot be overdone; that there will always be a good market for the fruit in a dried slate nt remunerative prices; that no State east ot the Rocky ! Mountains can raise them, and that Ores: .in produces them in perfection. Mr. Walling, at his place, near Mil waukee, soli I tlie product of four acres for the neat little sum of $3.000 this at 15c per pound. The labor of gather ing and drying is said to amount to but a trifle, as far as the expense 'il concerned. Mr. Luclling, another nurseryman, sent his crop green to San Francisco, where he realized five cents per pound net for them. Mr. Miller, of Milwaukee, sends his to Baltimore, dried. Onr' prunes are preferred above all others in the Eas tern markets, and from all quarters comes the demand, "Wh never saw the like : send us all you can of them." In California the fruit loes its prune nature anil changes to a plum. It i a branch of industry in which no other State in the Union, can begin to coin- pete with ns, and when railroad com munication is opened up direct to the great centres of trade in the East, there will scarcely be a limit to the amoint tint can he sold there. Land suitable for the cultivation of the fruit can be obtained in close proximity to the railroad or rive'r. at from $10 to f40 per acre, anywhere in the Wil lamette Valley, so that a very little capita! invested will secure the largest results. Almost any kind of fruit does well in Oregon. Lebanon Grange, R. A. Irvine, Master, initiated seven new members at its last meeting. fheiv are no dwellings to rent in tlie city, we believe ill full.

R. had left Eugene City, coining tlris wav, a colt feeding near th track took a fool notion to out-tin the train. After putting in its best licks for about a mile, the colt caught up and ran into the rear coach with such force a to thro.V it violently to the ground. The j colt immediately arose, and although its head was bleeding profusely, gal-: lantly continued the race until it came to and fell through a bridge. It showed good pluck, but poor discretion.

They found tlutt'by m concerted sys tem, lasting through live or six years, all her assets have Ix-en stolen and her people robbed. When I am reproach 1 for getting out of a den of thieves, I point to the Democratic parties of Butler and Fairfield.
