At the late State Fair, one of the chief attractions
to stock-raisers, and a great curiosity to all specta
tors, were the splendid lot of pare French and Span
ish Merinos, exhibited by Mr. J. D. Patterson, f
Alameda county. California, bred by him at hi
chief stock farm to Wesrfield. Chrtura county,
New York. The largest of tho French Merino
Bucks was purchased by Dr. Alexnder and Jesse
Parrish and one of the French and Merino crossed
Bucks was bought by Martin Payue, all three of
these gentlemen being old and well known citizens
of this place. On Wednesday last Mr. PaT,c
sheared bis Buck, and obtained a splendid fleece
weighing thirty-six pounds of very fin: wooL The
Buck is little more than two years old, and this
was a sixteen, months' fleece clipped from him.
The pure French Merino Buck is four year old,
jind had on him a fleece of three years" growth.
IThis was clipped yesterday, and we saw the fleece
weighed upon a Fairbank's platform scales last
-evening. It weighed trvcxty-cigit poundt ! Its
v.wnera presented as with a specimon ot the wool.
The fibre is abeut thirteen inches long, and of most
delicate texture soft as pile of velvet, rich colored
-and glossy. It is tke most astonishing fleece we

Severe Earthquake in San Fran-
- i cico.
i . t
The telegraph giyes an account of s rcrv
severe shock of earthquake whieh occurred
In San Francisco last Sunday, at about 1
o'clock afternoon. The first ehock yas
comparatiyelj slight, but another, five min
utes later, -was the heaviest ever knosrn in
that place. It bursted tKe walla of large
brick tvarehouses, stores and dwellings, all
over the city, totally ruined the Merchants'
Exchange building on Battery street, op
posite the Custon House ; it vrrecked yrhole
blocks of brick store?, rent assunder the
-walls of the City Hall, tumbled down a por-
, t on of the front wall of a four story brick on
the corner of Mission and Third streets,
moved one house bodily on Beale street,
greatly injured the large brick store of Sachs
Bros. on Sacramento street, knocked down
the fire wall of Abel Guy's store on Wash
ington street, throwed down the big chim-
. ,nej to the Lick House, and broke into atoms
thousands of window glass panes ia every
..portion of the city. Congregations rushed
panic stricken from Churches, inmates from
dwellings, guests from hotels, and the fright,
je rtended to horses, which ran away, to dogs,
set scampering and howling, and to every
living creature within the bounds of the
shock. One man jumped from a three story
. window, another flung himself through the
skylight of a market, and 6trange to say
neither was seriqasly injured. One poor
.Chinaman was-fcit on the head from falling
jbricks inaa Hey, &nd iie jJone received
dangerous injuries of Il.tbe people in that
g$t metropolis. Another shock would
have laid San Francisco in ruins, but Provi
dence averted the appalling calamity. A
very slight shock was felt the next morning,
bat it produced nothing more than fright to
.ta peopie-rno damage to property. The
great shock of Sunday was felt at Stockton,
Petal u ma, San Jose, andwas severe, yet did
no material damage in those places. The
-fright in San Francisco has tenaed to weak
en confidence in large brick and stone build
ings, and depreciated property for the pres
ent Several of the racked buildings are
being torn down, to give place to more sub
stantial structures. But the earthquake
will cause many to lose faith forever in San
Francisco as a safe place for residence. There
is no insuraace against earthquakes.
Recovering. J. M. Beach, who was in
jured in the stage accidont lately, was
brought home to his father's here on the boat
Thursday, and is rapidly improving.

THE STATE FAIR.
For some years past tlio State Fair lias
been a reproach rather than an honor to
Orejroh. The Asrricnliunl Society was
o
founded for wise purposes and with good
motives. Through bad management, how
ever, it has become almost a nuisance, and
certainly a humbug. Or, rather, it cul
minated to that point last year, aud was
barely bettered this year. It is so con
trolled yet as to be more of a political and
partisan than an agricultural and benefi
cent institution. Instead of being managed
and directed by farmers, stock-raisers,
horticulturists, and mechanics, it is con
trolled by politicians, professional men.
and mere townsmen.
There is a better condition of thin
promised for the ensuing year, yet the
leaven of old influences is quito strong
within the new organization of officers. A
farmer has been chosen for President of
the Society, and this alone is a promise of
future good which was not foreshadowed
in former years. But still there are among
the real managers of the Society too ruan v
of a class who ought ne?er tj have any
control over it men who are not agricul
turists, who are not mechanics!
"We wltncied the election of the officers
for the ensuing year at the Fair Pavilion
on the 5th inst., and saw enough to con
vince us that there are many and radical
reforms j-et required to bring the reputa
tion of the Society up to the high stand
ard it ought to occupy. Political favorit
ism, partisanship, aud self-interest were
painfully, notoriously apparent, in the
election. It seemed more au election
polls where certain Abolition leaders were
endeavoring to proscribe Democrats, and
where the same men were advocating only
their own personal, mercenary interest, in
diseriniin,atiHg between those of their own
party in candidacy, than an election for
officers who would best fill the positions
for which they were respectively named.
And it seemed also to be the intention of
those men to. have decided there the issue
between one agricultural paper andanoth-
.t present offering for the patronage ofj'
electioneering, were some of the owners
and employees of the Salem Statesman ,
They all appeared to, mainly direct their
energies to procure the defeat of Jas. II.
Douthitt, a farmer, b ut a Democrat, of
Linn county, for Fret ;ident, and of E. M.
Waite, of their own party, but who pro
poses to publish the Plowman, for Corres
ponding Secretary. So bitterly did this
small band prosecute their electioneering
tfcat we know of instances in which one
of them actually ptddfor the admission of.
members so as to enable them to vote.
And we heard an owner of the Statesman
declare that wliile he knew Mr. Vvaite to
be a very good man and an excellent Sec
retary, he would defeat him simply be
cause he believed, if elected, 31 r. W.
"would give the printing of the Soeiety
to the other office." As the Statesman
ownera propose.to publish a paper osten
sibly dffvoted to farming, stock-raising,
and mechanical interests solely, to be call
ed the Agriculturist, and Mr. Waite is to
publish the Plowman, also a farmer's paper,
this man in point voted and electioneered
not for the good or benefit of the society,
but purely that his own office might have
awarded to it the printing to be executed.
His candidate was Judge Peebles of Sa
lem, and it will now devolve upon that
gentleman, who was elected Secretary, to
act in such a way in regard to the print
ing of "the Society as not to provoke the
belief that he had before his election, as
the price of candidacy, pledged himself, if
elected, to give the printing to the States
man. Thi3 he can very well do by invit
ing proposals for the printing, and award
ing it to the lowest bidder. If he fails to
do so, it should be the care of the Board
of Directors to instruct him to that pur
pose, and thus relieve the Secretary, them
selves, and all concerned, from the odium
which would rightfully attach to all if the
printing be given by favoritism to. any
particular office. These Statesman own
ers and employees acted wrong in their
electioneering in another aspect. They
are not farmers, not stock-raisers, not ag
riculturists in any point of view. And
yet certainly these classes of men, and me
chanics ought to manage and have control
of the State Agricultural Society. An
Agricultural Society manage4 and con
trolled by newspaper men, lawyers, State
office-holders, and townspeople, is not the
sort of one to challenge the respect or com
mand the attention ot the men most inter
ested in such an institution.
S'We observed another feature of the
election which is much to be reprehend
ed. 1 he tickets prepared at the States
man office contained the names of none,
we believe, jvho were not Abolitionists,
and for most of the principal positions, the
names of Abolitionists of Salem, or Marion
county alone. This is grievously wrong.
Ihe society is not a county institution.
It certainly does not belong to Marion
county. Salem does receive the whole
benefit of the Fairs, and profits largely
from them every year in a pecuniary way,
and in other ways, and she ought to be
satislied with doing this. So does Marion
county receive great benefit from the
Fairs, in divers ways. And Salem as a
town and Marion county generally should
be contented with these benefits, and not
log-roll and electioneer for the choifia of
all the leading officers from among their
own citigcus.
So la it perverting the purposes of the
Society to convert it into a political or
ganization, as has been done in former
years, and was too much the case in the
late election for officers. There was not
a Democrat, we believe, among thaJbffi'
eers chosen in 18G3 or 1864, and for the
ensuing year, among all, there is barely
one or two Democrats who figure in any
prommcnt way. It. would seem, in the
selection of Vice Presidents even, that care
was taken to select none Dtit xDoiuionisis
from the various counties, although it is
known that in some of them the very best
farmers and stock-raisers arc Democrats,
and that thev are, in their counties,
among the most prominent citizens. This
partisan selection m a Mate Agricultural
Society has a natural tendency to cause
wide-spread dissatisfaction, and to make
men apathetic and opposed to the institu
tion. Polities ought never to be intro
duced in such a Society, but ought, on
the contrary, to be most studiously reject
ed from weight in the decision of any
matter premiums, elections, or what
ever else.
If the abuses wo have mentioned are
continued in tha Society, it will go down,
as it deserves to, and the managers may as
well bear this in mind. Let them con
duct the affairs aud business of the Socie
ty so that there shall bo no complaint in
future on these scores, and it will yet
emerge from its present low reputation,
aud grow to be an honor to the State, aud
of great practical value tQ those for whose
interests it was recially established, and
for wliGso information aud benefit it
nould be maintained.
Frov Idaho. The World and Statesman
furilish some items, from which we com
pile the following : '
The owners of the Trook Jfc Jennings IihIc
in Owvhee have contracted to sell thwr whole
claim at per foot a total of about $350,
000, to a New York Company.
The huga mill of O. C. liobbins is fast ap-
Swai-luug completion, and his company Urc
e-vclopiug nowly discovered lodes.
Moore- & Fogas are busily engaged in tkeir
iils and lodes, their yield and earnings
continuing at the usual immense figures.
The Amsworth and Minear mills are- kept
busilv employed crushing ores. Some rovk
pays "at the rate of $"0U per ton,
Business in Owvhce county is brisker than
ever4 with better promises for a most pros
perous future.
Fkqv Umatilla. AVe gather the follow?
ins items from the Umatilla Advertiser of
late dates s
John R. Foster & Co. propose to put up
the first brick store in that flourishing place
early m the ensuing spring.
Crowds of miners were dailv pouring in
by stages and other ways frouj. Boise, to

la, Boise and Owyhee had Itcen put on, and

Six townships are now open to rrc-c:vtv-

boon approved at Washington t
Business was very brisk at Umatilla .
trade, forwarding. Ac.
From Waixa Walla. We extract the
following items of news from the Walla
Walla Statesman;
Frosts had lately done much injury in that
Vallev. Potato, tomato and cucumber tines
were killed.
A detachment of troops from Fort Yan
couver are to winter at Fort Walla Walla.
Emigrant trains continue to conic into the
Valley. Some gone to Puget Sound.
Walla Walla is fast recovering from the
effects of the late fire.
Thev are discussing annexation to Oregon
in Walla Walla.
Spkciai, Elections. Gov. Gibbshas
ordered elections in the counties of Clack
amas, G rant, Polfc. and Yamhill, on the
20th of November, to fill vacancies in the
House of Representatives, There is a
vacancy in tho Senate, by the absence of
Dr. Ballard of Linn county, who is absent
in the Eastern States. Why don't the
Governor order an election to fill this
also? Is he afraid that a Democratic
Senator would be elected ? That there
would be is a pretty conclusive fact. We
hope the Democracy of Grant, Polk and
Yamhill, will exert themselves to send
Democratic members, as we think .they
can. Claclfamas is too Black for even a
hope to be entertained of a Democratic
success. -
Take Notice. We call the attention of
readers, of Abolitionists especially, to the
Address of the Massachusetts Abolition State
Central Committee, whieh tre publish on the
fourth page. In it will be found the ex
pression that " Loyalty" must be made an
indispensable condition of suffrage, " tchether
the Constitution and laws prescribe it or not.
Think of this from the party which, professes j
to be for the " maintenance of the Ponstitu
tipn, and obedience to the laws !"
RrJf on. It is stated in private circles that
W. II. Newell, who has lately disposed of the
Mountaineer, will p to Salem, to give some
decree of respectability to the Statesman.
Oregonian,
Isn't that a tfort of a. left-hamiftd wipe?
Our Abolition extern poraries seem- to be in
harmonious, Are they no longer men and
brethren ?
What must the drudges of a party be when
its heads are such men as AV hi taker, Jo.
Lane, Ben. Ilayden? Oregonian.
Well, suppose we strike a comparison :
What must the drudges of a party bo when
its heads are such men as " Lawyial" Pen
gra, Crazy Lawson, Honest Rev. C. H. Hall,
Parson Billy Adams, ct id omne genus t '
Frox Jackson Countt. The Reporter
says that Major Glenn exhibited at that of
fice a piece or virgin silver taken from oie
found in Jackson crock. Prospecting for
silver in that county since has developed
lodes on Foot's creek. The mines in Jaok;
son county are still paying well.
Cheap. Opposition stages from Idaho
City to Umatilla brought down the fare from
about $50 to $10 lately. Good for the min
ers, but heavy on the stage owners.
IIeavt Freight. Mr. Major has a freight
train of seventy wagons on the way, across
the plains for South Boise, all loden with
quartz mill machinery. .
Travel. The hotels could not accommo
date all who applied for lodgings or rooms
at Portland for some days during the week.
Travel is increasing.
New Road. A route for a new McAdam
ized road from Portland to Tualitan. bridge
is being surveyed.
The Jackson County Commissioners have
levied a total tax of fifteen mills for all pur
poses. .
