Since I last saw you In Harrisburg, some six weeks ago, I have been east of the monntains with cattle. I left Harrlsburg June 14, with 118 head of cattle; went ria Lebanon Wagon Road, .-and arrived at Crooked River without the loss of a single head, in eight days. I stopped on Willow Creek, Wasco county, where I found the very richest of bunch grass, but no hay.. There are -water and timber in abundance. There are a great number of settlers in that locality, but there are no taiail facilities whatever, and the inhabitants complain bitterly of their utter neglect in this respect by the powers that be. They Are almost unanimous in attach ing the blame to Postal Agent Under wood. I could have secured one hun dred subscribers for your paper in that section had there been a mail route through there. -Two-thirds of the set tlers are Democrats. The people are very anxious to organize a new county, as it works a great hardship upon them to be so far removed from the shire- town of their county the Dalles. The Ochoco country is nearly eaten out, and cattle are very much poorer there than in many other valleys of Eastern Oregon. I learn that cattle are cheaper there than in the Willani ette Valley. On the Fourth, at Prineville, in Ocho co, the people observed Independence Day with a grand ball and supper, and . had a jolly time generally. I think the Lebanon road an excel lent one, and believe that it will soon be the great thoroughfare between Western and Eastern Oregon. Pleas ure seekers will find the Soda Springs and Fish Lake to be-very enticing re sorts. I will soon return to Willow Creek, wnen I will write you again. Very Trulv vours, JAMES WHEELAN. RCX AWAY AT COBVAtXIS. On last Saturday morning the team attached to the West Side Stage, coming down Front street from the post-office, at Cor vallis, attempted to enter the Livery Stable of Clark & Houc-k, when the driver, Wm. Igo, struck the near horse with the whip, starting him to kicking; one of his feet "accidentally" struck the driver's foot, which was on the brake, knocking him backwards out of .the stage ; they then turned to the op posite side of the street, when one of the. horses fell and was dragged along several yards, at which juncture the neck-yoke broke, one end striking the upright horse in the side, cutting a ter rible gash- At this moment the horses - were eaught and stopped. Mr. Igo, at the time, did not feel the effects of the kick he received, but since he is not able to wear his boot, and his side is considerably bruised. Asr Execbable Wbetcii. We are i lformed that for the past two weeks a man has been infesting the blackberry patch on the other side of the Calipooia and insulting women by making im ; proper and insulting overtures to them. He has made no open or forcible at tempts upon any one, but comes upon them suddenly when no men are about, and displays his vile character and in tentions in the most unmistakable manner. Many ladies have already been terribly, frightened by his ap : proach and demeanor, and last Monday : a gentleman whose wife had been thus molested searched for some time through the woods for the base wretch, intending to give him a taste of cold lead at first sight, but failed to get a bead on him. The dirty cuss ought to be made an example of for all future villains of his base stamp. y the "Ecgexe Tbail." Mr. Pur Ar dom returned from Pitt River over the Pengra or Eugene route, and says that it is a miserable failure as a wagon road, : as there is no work whatever being performed upon it, and all the bridges and fords are in a dilapidated and worn out condition. He says the Willamette Valley, and Cascade road leading over the mountains from this city is almost a Macadamize! road or a tarn-pike as compared to the .fcugene route. He thinks that unless a great amount of work is done on the latter road soon it will be utterly impassable frr Mm in n. verv short time." " Messes. W.J. Hiitabidei. & fo. have taken a new departure from their heretofore established usage and have enlarged their storeroom and opened out a fine stock of dry goods, boots and shoes, clothing, etc., in addition to their r usual stock of groceries. They have a : neat establishment, and one which can not fail to attract custom as fast as it is known throughout this community, Read their new card and give, them a call.-. They will have a fine,, naming advertisement In our columns as soon as they can get time to prepare it. - '. John .Metzler's raw-hide bottom chairs have gained a reputation second tn nn other article manufactured in Oregon, and he is improving on them almost dally. He now has the finest assortment; both as to material and and finish that we have ever seen, and he is constantly filling orders for other places In -the State. We commend Metzler's chairs to the public, knowing there is no humbug about them. They are the cheapest and best ever made. The Comisto Festival,. The ladies of the Baptist Church are making the fullest arrangements for the festival at Tate's Hall this evening, and we are satisfied our citizens who remain away will miw a rare opportunity for a pleas ant evening. FttoM Pitt Rivek. Messrs. E. B. Purdom and Martin Wertjs have re turned from a trip to Big Valley, P.itt River, California and report , them selves Unfavorably impressed with that country. Mr. Purdoni informs us that the grazing lands of Big, Valley com prise about HOO square miles, but as it is nearly all short bunch grass the oppor tunities for hay are very poor( and con sequently stock must grow thin in the winter season or bo driven off to some more favorable:- section., , There rnj about 22 square miles of tillable lands In the valley, all requiring Irrigation. The crops look quite promising this sea son, but the harvest will bo much later than In this valley. There are perhaps twenty thousand herd of cattle at pres ent in Big Valley, and the srass la fast disappearing before the rapacious de- mauds of so many capacious stomachs. Those of the settlers who have been so fortunate as to secure claims and are able to stock them are quite prosperous and contented, but the eligible claims are about all taken, and many people who have failed to secure favorable lands are retracing their steps to civili zation or are penetrating further Into Lthe frontier In search of favorable lands for settlement. There arc a eouplo of little stores and a postoflice in the val ley, and school houses and other marks of permanent civilization are fast ris ing into view. Neither of the gentle men alove alluded to are sufficiently favorably impressed with that country to desire a home there, consequently they will not return, but will continue to reside In Linn county. tDEAD. lion. E. B. Jloorc, of Jar- risburgr-died at his residence In that city on last Wednesday, after a linger ing illness of several months, and was buried by the -Vasonic Fraternity yes terday. Brother Moore was a man of rare business tact and energy, a useful and public-spirited citizen, and an upright and honorable gentleman, and the people all over the county will mourn his death as a public calamity. Jl Is stricken widow and orphan chil dren have the warmest sympathy of a large circle of friends in their great bereavement. Brother, may the sprig of accacia, planted over thy tomb, be a perfect type of the immortal joy upon which thy pure spirit has entered, and may the Grand Architect of the Uni verse grant thee everlasting refresh ment in his own Celestial Lodge of Perfection. So mote it be. 83"" Mart. Brown, of the Stale Itlfihtg Democrat, and Coll. Van Cleve, of the Albany Jirnistcr, favor u with a call occasionally, when the press of busi ness win permit. we are always pleased to see them. They are both the very best or good ixys. ir we were compelled to part wit hone of them and uau our choice whicii we mhhim keep, we hardly know how we should decide, but think wc should freeze to Mart., he has got so much the tallest and slickest hat! Carter's Heat J-Jxtate Special. Blessed, thrice blessed half Thou hxst kept us from being 'second best" n the affections of even a real estate dealer! And much as we regret to part with our little old hat, yet it must pass into the shades of obscurity and the stately bee-gum shall hereafter grace our cranium, rising thus as a monu ment to typify the height to which a real estate dealer's affect ions may as pire! Cosonek's Inquest. Last Friday Ji. M. Powers, J. P., summoned a jury and repaired to the Calipooia, ten miles north of this city, and held an inquest over the dead body of Richmond, or Richardson, who was drowned in April last by falling from the railroad bridge, and whose remains were not discovered until last week, when they had floated to the surface of the water some feet below the bridge. The jury consisted of S. E. Young, P. C. Harper, J. R. Herren, D. Mansfiell, W. R. Cannon, A. 1L Marshall. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the facts i above stated. Dr. Tate, examining physician, state? that the body was in a bad state of decomposition the lower jaw, left foot and botu. nanus having been already separated from it by the process of decay. There were found on the person of the deceased four silver half dollars, a one-bladed spring-back knife, a coarse comb, a cigar-holder, a heavy plain gold ring and a brass watch-check bearing the figures 14. 'Squire Powers had the body decently interred at the expense of the county. Clear as Mra An Idaho paper says that in that Territory "the ravages of an insect, cicada septemdecim,' is lemoie. rne insect aoes it with his haustellum." This is something en tirely new for Mr. Greeley to add to what he' knows about farming. But It is somewhat ambiguous. Had the edi tor been a little more explicit, he might have shown how the tezzerinctum of the certiorari was overcome by the paraphernalia of ths evanescent sub poena, and its inherent redundancy dis pelled by the inner eperdemis of the oriflammc. Euaene Guard. Viewing this subject from the esoteric stand-point of Christian exegetical analysis, and agglutinating the poly- theistacal scotograph of homogenious asceticism, we perceive at once the en tire' Individuality of the entierty ; whereas from that other stand-point of incredulous synchysis which character izes the Xenocratic hierocracy of the animal, 'we are constantly impressed with the entirely antiperistatical qual ities thereof. Don't it? Found. On the Salem road just below Albany, a eack of woman's ap parel, considerably worn, among which was he head of a large China doll. From the fact that wrapped up with the old clothes were also a couple of red flags on which was painted the word "Auction" it is surmised that they may belong to the impecunious widow of the "late lamented," and that they had been accidentally dropped there by John H. Bingham, the Surratt murderer, upon Lis trip through this city a few days ago. However, the proper owner, whoever. he or she may be, can have the same by calling at Lee Burkhart's and paying for this no tice. . . j ANew Firm. Messrs. Henry My ers, of San Francisco, and A. S. Knox, of this county, have purchased a half interest in the flouring mill of Beach & Monteith in this city consideration, $20,000.

Albany probably has fewer loafers of its size than any city on the coast, We have no vagabonds and no such doubtful luxuries as gamblers infest our peaceful and favored city. Hail moral, industrious and beautiful Al bany, the "Gem of the Valley!" There will be twice as many potatoes, raised In Linn county this year as there were last. It is hoped that our dealers will not .be required to send , to San Francisco and Portland to supply our potato market this winter, as they did last. , We have the best potato soil in the world, and certainly ought to raise sufficient for home consumption, the weather and tater bugs permitting.

Die Modf.xwelt for July the most gorgou or illustrated magazines u upon our table.

The magazine Is only $3 a year, and cheap at that. TirE ItEAi, Estate Speci At for July is on our table. Bro. Carter slings a ready and facile quill, and gets up a rare and radiant paper. Tho number be fore us contains many items of interest besides many articles designed to im part useful information in regard to the distinguishing features and resources of Oregon.

Peterson's Magazine for Augcst is already before us, overflowing with choice literary matter and brilliant with its sav and graceful fashions. Its articles on, and Illustrations of, "Every Day Dresses," have rendered it indis pensable to ladies in moderate circum stances, as its directions are ao explicit as to enable them to make even ordina ry dresses look handsome and stylish, without tbe expense of dress-makers. It is certainly the cheapest magazine published. The Cosmopolitan Benevolent Society, of Nevada City, Cal., have postponed the drawing of their prizes until the 4th day of September, as will be seen by reference to their advertise ment elsewhere in this paper. We are positively assured that it will certainly come off at that time, and we advise persons desiring to invest in tickets to do to very soon.
