Rev Harris came from the same place, and was neighbors of these gentlemen for years. Mr Hiram Kenton returned from the Bay Monday and has since taken another separa tor there.

Mr Charles Huber and wife, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, both old school mates of our fellow townsman, Mr X J Hentou were in the city hat Tuesday. We acknowledge a pleasant call from Mr Huber. They are on their wsy to tee great Masonie Conclave at San Franoisco. Hon.M,H. Pennington, of Pendleton called on us yesterday, being in the oity od business. He states that harvesting in Umatilla county is about four weeks shead of us here, and that farmers there are getting a big crop, the average being at least twenty bushels to the acre. Last Saturday we received a call from Mr Charles Leighton, editor of the Oskaloosa Herald, and his aged father ; Mr T M Bacon also of Oskaloosa, and Mr N J Heaton. our popular city Recorder, formerly of tbe same place. Mr Leigbtou and father are on a tour through the State, being on the coast to at i tend the Masonic Conclave at San Francisco. Tbatr wives wen at Ashland, where they joioeu them Saturday evening.

We per formed successfully the feat of riding in a lumber wagon through several inches nf dust beyond the thriving village of Lob anon and returned In a single day, nearly el us 1 to tbe time made on the Went aide Railroad. While this was probably our only summer vacation we turned our mind from the dusty pleasures of the world long enough to notice tbe progress of harvesting. It has begun In dead ear Peat, reapers and twine binders being seen In nearly a third of tba fields along the way. The poor, unfortunate wheat thst was first frozen out, afterwards drown ed and finally cremated, is now, notwith standing Its many calamities, coming forth In abundance and sneaks for a good crop In ths. county. We noticed only a few fields of really poor wheat, almost none of March sowing. About half way to Lebanon the Dunk arda are building w hat promises to be a vary neat looking church, plain and sub stantial like tbelr religion.

It had snob long beard and so many plump kernels In the bead that be took oomnasakm on it, and tbe nest win tar planted these lonely kernels In motbei earth. They came up many fold, beer log a hardy appearance. No one knew tbelr name, nor has it been ascertained to tela day. Mr Wilson though has given It tan aaaae of the Blue Velvet Winter Wheat. Poor years have passed and this year about 50 bushels will be raised, all from that single hoed, notwithstanding the foot that it wae frozen ut last Spring. It was, like other wheat. Injured, so that only about twenty-Are bushels to the acre will be obtained. Ordinarily about 50 is yielded from It. The heads yield fully one hundred kernels, which are wonderfully plump, while tee stalks are no wueau is io ue iouiiu, uiu n. win trw farmers to esperi ment with It. So much confidence bas Mr Wilson in it that next year be wilt sow two hundred acres to It Me aetata. last weak while Mr J H Lams, of Hal- say was repairing: the bridge serosa the Calapooia eleven miles above Browns ville, two men In his employ came upon the remains of a human son distance above tea bridge, and near the edge of tbe water. Th only part of the skeleton which tbey found waa tbo back base skull bone wltb tbe lower Jaw. Tbe teeth are Intact except two In front which are want ing.
