To the country which depends mere largely eo the agricultural elemeut than any other for sup port, whether all the wheat is put ia or act this suggests much.

The "conttanlly tirtdouT feeling so often expenenced is the result of impoverished blood, and consequent enfeebled vitality. Ayer's Sarssparilla feeds and ea riches the blood, increases the apitite, and promotes di gestion of the food, and the assimilation of its strengthening qualities. The system be ing thus invigorated, the feeling rapidly changes to a grateful sease of strength and energy. About 40,000 bushels ef wheat have been shipped from Independence during the last few weeks. This ia some of the wheat that was being held for higher prices, when it was op to 90 and 92 cents.

People who come here with the impression that all they have to do to make a living is to plant ten cent pieces aad raise from them double eagles, get as badly fooled ss the oaea who think genuine diamonds can be bought as cheap as the paste diasaoad. What is wanted in Oregon is a class ef people with 'recks in their claw," who have sense enough to kuow that clouds precede snr shine, sod that rain ia a fertiliser, and who basinses in the true ot Is. A great many men ate lest in Oregon, among others a man named Hunt, from Wal la la.

A chinaman asserts that he saw Hunt taken by a gang ef men across the bridge spanning the Walla Wa'la river, sod there shot and burned in the ssod. Little credence, however, is given to this story. Albany has been infested lately with iten erant merchants, commonly called peddlers having fersale spectacles, lineossto. Strange te say many patronize them. Of soars s this is a free country, over which the eagle flaps his wings ; bat nevertheless it is poor policy to have anything to do with this class ef men, wben you have home merchants who are enti tled to your patronage. Besides they ars unreliaHe, their goods cannot be depended ea, and yon may seat aim rod that they are selling their cheap stuffs to make mu y, and von are the one who helps pay thoir traveling expenses.

The first day ef May was one on whieh the most beautiful might have fittingly been crowned Queen of the May. The inhabitants of Washington Street, between Third arid Fifth, took a J vantage of the fine weather by hnvi-.jr Urn sapper In the yard of ir W C I'weedale sad W H Hearst, It brought together forty-two hungry souls and an old bachelor. This included five school teachers, four loae looking married men and numerous prat tling children and women. Nearly three hours were passed, characterized by good feeling, backed by wagging tongues, gen uine laughs and lively romps among the juvenile portion. A lunch was served, making at least one heart sad because ef a lack of capacity to do it justice. As an interesting item it may be remarked that just twenty-two years previous.Mrs Twee. dale was crowned by her young compan ions here Queen of the May, and many there are who remember the occurrence. Among others present at the time was a gay young Lotbaris, who saw and loved and won. He now sells stoves on First Street.

Carpirt ISbk. a. at JOV 1 1 Home time since we stated as a matter of local news In these columns that the union meetings, held under the auspices of the Christian churches of this city .were, and had been, a success, The "Christian Herald," with its accustomed oarplog and caviling spirit, In a self-important aad dominant air, asked why these churches did not lav aslds their denominational names and assume the name "Christian, We stated iu reply that the name "Cbrlet- lan" as applied to the denomination or which the "Christian Herald" is the organ, aa much sectarian as the name Baptist Methodist ar Preabyterlan. No Intelli gent person In the christian world, except the "Herald" editor, would think of de nying this proposition, yet with a wonder ful self sufficiency of superior knowledge, he oomes forward aad telle his road that hs does not wear the title "Christlsn" a denominational name, and yet If a sectarian or pagan should call him by the name "Campbell Ite," be would spurn the title With Indlsraatton. The church which he Is identified with universally disclaims the name "Campbelllto," aad as univer sally olalme the name "Christian." aad for that reason we Insist that It Is unfair to oall that ehuroh "Campbelllto," but just sod proper to oall It "Christian," be cause its members, (except the "Herald" editor,) claim that to be their name. When we read the statement In the "Herald" that the I km oca at le the champion of sectarianism, we oan only look upon Ha the mere babbling of a narrow, biased mind, and as one who bss nothing else to j. We are sare we have loan sectarian- lam than the ordinary churchmen of the present day. Not a word In our article would Justify the "Herald" editor In say.

In ae parts of Oregon there are extraordinary inducements offered the tyro or specialists in the collection of innumerable specimens. The John Day country is perhaps unrivaled on the continent for rare and valuable fossils. Southern Oregon ia unusually favored with tcimeas interesting to ths novice. While within the limits of the northwest almost vary variety of rock formation can be found The Oregon City En :ryri: has tbe follow- lag. Oa Taesdsy F O MsCewn received a petrified turtle from Eastern Oregon the John Day country. The shape of the shell was plainly to be seen, as was ako the feet, etc. It will help to hU up a big collection.

In one night four or five were served tbls way, and ws are informed that one or two of them were about stiff when they were placed en the ground. In true Molly Magulre style It is the custom to send out warrants notifying different persons of their doom. This is going too far even for fun, and if continued will re sult in the programs being reversed and a noose slipped in earnest, by au thority of tbe law. Fun is aU right, but when cruelty is resorted to, it is time a halt was ordered. Strayed.
