One of the twenty-two horses that formed part of her cargo was killed, and one of her boats was lost. The first officer says it was the severest storm he has ever witnessed on the tion On the Yaquina River. It may be stated here, that what shall be written, is not because oi tne nospitaoie satment the writer received at the hands of those he fell among, during a recent trip, hut because of the excellence of things met with. While we have headed this article "On the Yaquina River" it is not of the river we shall write on this occasion, for, to describe that beautiful stream, as it may be described, would take a better pen than the writer can boast; besides, the Yaquina will have its poets, as also its songs in time, let us not auticip ite. A mile or so below the stone quary the river makes a turn to the north West, and at this point widens out at once together with a long stretch of broad bottom. The hills on each side are generally low and gen tly rounded; occasionally, a long gentle spur shoots out into and across the bottom to the river. This stretch is some three or lour miies in length, and embraces two good tidal streams, the Depot aud OlaUa, aud ends just below Toledo where the river bentls to the west. At the upper point we obtain the first impression that we are Hearing oid ocean's waters, for here we g-it the first sniff of the waters from the briny deep. While tiiis is a spot an artist w ould priz ;, it is of the substantial we have to deal and must be about it. In and about this vicinity is some very good tillable land, much of it is grass, some brush, and timber sufficient for all necessary purposes for a long time. i he soil is allll vial from the wash of the lower tertiary hills thereabouts prevailing, While in close proximity to Yaquina City, it is much warmer than the latter piaee, and those who have resided there for a number of years have demonstrated the locality to be ot tirst importance for the culture of fruit. The products of especial note raised there are Apples, Prunes, Blackberries, aud in vege tables which can hardly be surpassed we may mention Potatoes. These are all ot high grade, and in quantity the three latter seek a market. And now, tince regular communication can be had by steamer with San Francisco, ii a market cannot be obtain ed in this valley for the products raised there, efforts to that end shouid at oi.ee be made with that city. Upon one of those long gentle spurs above mentioned and just east of Caledonia " and Oialla is the P.iiggs and Co.'s prune orchard and factory which has been operated about seven years, Vet it is seldom mentioned, and we question if there are two merchants in Corvaliis who give it thought, or iiffer to theii customers the fruit 'prepared herey though as good'as can be foii'lid-m any-mar-ket. ."is a product- of our own cotf:!-? it Ii ids its way to but tew tables la tins va -ley. The prune is large, full of moat, juicy, and of tine flavor. Great pains has b-en taken in selection of trees as also culture. Then tiie care bestowed ia pieking aud dry ing is as painstaking botn as to cleanliness and other essentials as the mo? t fastidious! could demand. When fchele ( it the close oi the season) we trio 1 the fresh 'dried prune as also that of a year ago. The hist while j giving promise of excellence was at the time i .-fwhat. rl.-it and lnsiou ai king tne s i - of the rich tcid peculiar to this the prune of a previous season and required no cooking or other iprepara- to render it more paiauuue Loan e Second Crop Again. Mrs. J. Mason brought to this office one day this week a cluster of ripe blackberries, and also a bunch of blossoms which were growing on the same vine in her yard in this city. Oregon is becoming noted for her second crop of fruits this season, which fact, no doubt, will bring many immigrants to our state next season. Settle Up.

This gentleman has mad,; this latter fruit a leading industry, for what is not dried is turned iuto wine. It was not our good fortune to meet the proprietor when there, so were unable to get any particulars other than seen, but at a neighbor's house we tasted the wine produced on this place and have no hesita tion iii saying that in fullness, flavor, and probably strength it is the equal of much to be met with in the market. If the Yaquina is to stand prominent in the growth of such fruit as we have men tioned, what shall we say of its vegetables? Here, in the valley, for the past tuo years nartieularlv. we have been trying to eat a sad, soapy potato, the thought of which almost brings a shudder, and when down there to see the tady of the house place upon the table such large, white mealy potatoes, with smooth skin, and cracking open when boiled or baked, it is something to be proud of. It is worth speaking about, during the time (several weeks) of our stay, we neither (saw nor tasted a poor potato.
