About three o'clock OH Thursday morning, some party or parties bioke a pane of glass in the show-window of John Schmeer's grocery 6tore, on corner of Ells worth and First streets, and ab stracted from said window a num ber ot bottles of bitters. The Mar bal followed a trail made by two persons, which led toward the In dian rancherie, and suvceded in finding a broken bottle and, soon after, an Indian, who was very drunk, whom he arrested. He also arrested au Irishman who was un der the "influence." There are a large number of Indians prowling about the city, who are of no earthly use here, and who should be placed on the reservations. We have called the attention of the proper authorities to the matter from week to week, but thus far no attention, has bees paid to the matter. The agents seem to feel it to be their duty to draw their pay and rations and let the Indians look after them selves. Snob agents are of no more value than the lazy Si washes, and should be kicked out ot office at once. Thb Big Warkhousf.. The splendid warehouse- now in course j of completion by Messrs. Morris fc Parker in this city, will attract the attention of producers for the rea sons that the internal arrangements of the building will be so complete that the grain can be handled easily and in so short a time ; the great capacity, holding as it will, two hundred thousand bushels ; its great solidity and strength, insuring it against any mishaps from overload ing, and its thorough and complete arrangements for rapidly cleaning and preparing grain for market. The gentlemanly proprietors are well known in this community, and would be well patr nized even did not their warehouse ofier so many advantages to the farming eommu nity.

The stalks are not only large and . . , strong, but the heads are trorn foot to eighteen inches in length, and the grain much larger than any to be fouud elsewhere iu the fields. For such grain as this it is calcti - lated thai a yield of one hundred bushels per acre would be a small crop. Re Careful. Ab we have no nightwatch at present, there is noth ing to hinder any who may choose to do so wandering through our stieets and alleys during the still hours of night Indians, large num bers of whom infest the city, We am told are to be found perambulating the city at all hours of night, ou the look out for something to get away with. Our citizens should be careful about leaving their clothes-lines hanging full of ciotli ing to tempt the cupidity of thus children ot the forest; should see that their kitchen doors and win dows are properly secured, leaving nothing in sight to tempt the na tive American to do a wrong. A great deal of the petty thieving here and elsewhere is chargable to the carelessness of people in leaving articles laying around loose which attract the attention and cupidity of the keen eyed Siwashes. Religious. Preaching next Sunday morning and evening, in the M. E. Church, by Rev. W. C Chat tin.. A cordial invitation is exten ded to all to be present and hear the stranger. There will be no preaching at the Cougregatioiial Church next Sun day, Rev. Joseph Emery being in attendance at the Basket Meeting held near Brownsville. Orr With His Head.

The first wheat ot this season came from Judge Thornton's late farm, now owned by J. W. Shattuck, just across the river in Benton county, consisting of two loads, brought in on Wed nesday and stored in Morris & Par- ker's new warehouse. .I . Goon, Yield. - Mrs. Judge Thayer, ot Benton county, has just had harvested ninety acres of fall wheat, ou her farm six or seven mites from this city, which averages about thirty bushels per acre.. She stores with Beach jfc Monteitb.. Why is Barker, of Lebanon, like Joseph of old? Joseph had a coat of many colors, and Barker has a goat of many colors the hoodlums of Lebanon having caught ad ThCrop Prospect Is gen erally conceded to be splendid iff every portion of this county, al though there are quite a number 1 w ho predict that the average yield I of grain per acre will not be as j large as that of last year. Again, there are others who tell us that the yield on their farms bids fair to be much larger than the harvest of '73. 'J lie acreaae seeleil to gram , .this season is much larger than that of last, and our belief is, based on what we have seen of the growing cropS) that the average yield will be fully up to that of last year, at east in wheat. If this prove true, fa aggregate yield will be vastly j 8ro.er tia iast y,.ar. al,d all will t remPmber the dilhYnltv exoerienced I at t18t time itl securing safe places in which to deposit the enormous quailtity of sul.plls g;,,, 0ur capacity tor the storage of grain has been largely added to since then, it is true ; but we apprehend that our storing facilities although so greatly increased, will be none too large to accommodate the hun dreds of thousands of lmsiiels that i u-ill sfot' nnr pit v tor cafi ctnmmi ' an early market. Those who , . re e r racKs ana stomge room l M?. 'H not regret it. While , Vl satisfactory, the price may not prove great maionty of our people to people expect and demand a much higher price than dealers at present deem safe to offer. One dollar per bushel is a good round price foe wheat, and many of our farmers declare that they will not sell a pound for less, and as many of them are able to hold it, we believe they will do so, unless prices shall advance to the figure demanded by them. Freights to Europe are ruling some what lower than last year, and the price for average Pacific coast wheat in Liverpool is exactly the same as it was a year ago. Prices at Liverpool being the same and charters being at least no higher than then, the inquiry is pertinent why can not dealers pay the same price now as then ? Died On Monday evening, at her residence in this city, Mrs. Wishard, after a lengthened illness. She was a member, we believe, ot the Christian Church. Gov. Grover having refused to commute the sentence of Thomas Garrandto imprisonment for life, he will be hung on Friday, August 14th. Mrs. Tally and daughter return ed to this city, after a lengthened visit in Southern Oregon, on Wed- John Minto, of Salem, and Ben Simpson, ot Eugene, were in this city Wednesday. Messrs. Wm. Galtree and Ral ston, with their families, will go to Yaquina Bay next week. Joe Webber and family returned from Upper Soda on Wednesday. They had an alfired good time.. Gran. Haigbt is back; again, Chief of the City Market the handsomest butcher in town.. The largest business in this city seems to be the roaauf acture and sate of soda, at A. Carothws. Titus, Bourgardes & Co. have two wagons now traversing Lane county, loaded with Singer sewing machins. The first load of thirteen machines was sold in a few days, and a new lot telegraphed for. The Singer sells anywhere. J. Bloom, at comer of Washing ton and First Btreets, has been re ceiving during the week, large in. voices of new and elegant goods, which should attract the attention of buyers. W. E. Howell left for San Fran cisco on the last oceau steamer from Portland. He is a most indefati gable business man, and will hardly fail to be profitably employed wher ever he may go. The interest in base ball seems to be languishing up this way, while' in Marion and Multnomah it seems to be gaining in strength. Bargains. Messrs. P. C.

IS NOW READY FOR THE KKCIIP. tlon of wheat and oats. We call the at tention of fanners to the fact that we have erected the Hnest warehouse in the State, at a large expense, and are In position to handle satisfactorily an immense quan tity of grain. Our house has a capacity for 200,000 bushels of Wheat at one time, and Is located on the margin of the Willamettcniver, and provide! with a side track from the 0. A C. R. R., so that shipments may bo imvle dally by rail, and as often by water asnoa! ing facilities offer. We have two large miction fans, in addi tion to other fans, attached to the house, run by water power, and arc thus pre paredito, CLEAN all the wheat received. Can take in and clean lO.OOOlmshelsperday. Cleaned wheat Is worth much more In nil foreign markets than foul wheat, and none should be ship ped without cleaning. Onr charges will fie Ave cents a bushel on wheat, and tour cents. on fiats. We have SIXTY THOUSAND SACKS to. furnish those storing wheat with us, free to those whose wheat wo purchase, and at the lowest cash prion to those who sell their wheat from our house to other buyers. Persons storing with ru are at liberty to sell to whom they please. Those who reside on the west side of tho river wiU have ferriage free. Will be in tho market as buyers, and expect to lie able to nav the highest possible mice.
