A correspondent tp' the Oregonian fro'n the San Francisco Mechanics Fair has the following to say in rtgard to onr wheat: A lot of Sonora that rtns 71 pounds per bushel is king of its kind, even fn this favored state. A few stalks of Siant Club, the straws neaily large enough for fish poles, and the heads large, bright and full, are the wender of all who see them. These and many other specimens came from the farm of Mr. George Belshaw, near En gene City. Everything from his land shows thorough cultivation, intelligent selection of good seed, and most careful preparation for market We were not surprised to bear that he comes from the "tight little isle," where farming is both a science and an art, profound the ene and finished the other. Ambssmext Finished. County Assessor J. P. McPberson, finished the assessment of this county last Saturday. M r. McPerson has made a very officient officer, and we doubt if Lane county has ever had an asses sor who bas given so general satisfaction to the people generally. He has watched the interests of county, and at the same time did justice to every citizen. The gross valua tion will be op to, if not more, than the as sessment made list year. Hops. Mr. T. J. Duntooi of Camp Creek, we are informed, ha ten' acres of the. best bops ever seen in this section of Orgon. Mr. Dnnton, with commendable energy worked his hops faithfully, while his neigh bors plowed op theirs, amounting to some 50 acres and sowed it to wheat but spring. The price ef bops, we think, will be oyer 25 cents per pound, which will pay all raisers of bops wtIL i !fnr Dwklunc MrE. P.

A correspondent at Creswell, under the daU of August 20, sends us the following items: The Crenvcll mills are doing a goad busi ness. Scarbrough & McGowen have on hand a complete stock of drugs, etc. The wheat crop is, as a general thing, a failure. Wild oats and the oxyd of wheat predominates. Several farmers are going to burn their wheat fields in order to get a good start on a Fall sowing. Your correspondent is in posession of a lotter from Eastern Oiegon, giving a good account of both grass and cattle We have no printing preu in Creswell, but we do have a "hay press" which gives the alarm at any and every hour of the uight The Creswell Band have leased Dan Stan ton's cow shed for the ensuing winter, and are anticipating great progress. The boys may be found at the "pagoda" Mondays and Tuesdays. Rails lighted at 7:30, Ira Hawlcy has retnrned from a ramble over Eastern Oregnu, Palouie and a portion of Idaho. Mr. Hawley brings good news as to the fertility of hundreds of acres of un claimed land, the natural facilities of which are unlimited. One of those "critters" culled tramps paid the domicile of P. C. Noland a visit last week, and "hooked" a pair ef pants and ft SO in money. We hope he will get an opiArtunity to fulfill his part of the contract on the streets your ity, chained and man acled in the most oppressive manner. Sam. Inhuman Some person, we have been informed, have killed several head ef hogs belonging to Mat Spores, and buried the same to prevent detection. We are also in formed that somebody bas been setting dogs on Mr. L E. Stevens' sheep, and he has fonnd four or five killed. It is a shame to think U.at any person would be so inhuman as to tils' revenge ont on the poor dumb brptesv and we hope that the persons guilty of this infamous act will be detected and brought to justice. To Wasco Cocntt. Messrs D C Coder wood, St John Skinner, aires Humphrey, 8 AOgdn and Kcbt Hays left but Wednes day morning for a mnoth's trip to the Des chutes river, in Wasco eoenty s a fiahicg j pd rnnttrf eifdrtK. ; Cobirg Ilerht. , A correspondent at Coburg sends the fol owing items under date of Aug. 19th: Wheat ripe aud rusty. The taw logs are now in ths poud. S. T. Durktenow clerks for Frank Sutter Mrs. M. P. Deady, of Portland, is vis'tin friends in this vicinity. Miss Fannie Stratum, of Albany, is teach iga class in music uear Coburg. Little Johnny Shambo fooled with hay cutter last Sunday and now he hrs ouo finger less. The exhibition which was to have taken place at Willamette Hall, has been post' pound. J. M. Vanduyn talks of resigning the clerkship of this school district, as he has ao cepted the position of chief engineer of a header bed. Mr. Pitzer while trying to ford the river, near the old Maxwell ferry, came near nifct- ing with on accident. He missed the ford and got into swimming water which floated the wagou box, off aud it was with difficulty he reached the shore. 0 11 Server The New Idrlan Quiiksilver Mine. We have been shown a copy of the Frank' lin Jeffersonian, published at Franklin, In liana, the old home of Dr. Gill of this place, iu which the editor is calling the attention of the business and moneyed men of Franklin, Indiana, to the New Idrian Cinnabar Mine, of Douglas county, that the Dr. is interestnd and from which he has justreturnod after a three days visit. The Doctor informs us that they have just struck another rich lead in the mino; that they have 3,000 tuns of rich ore for the furnace, and that the furnace will be douo in a fow weeks. They have had to make their own fire brick to keep down such great expense, as the getting of them from San Francisco would necessitate, and they have burnt one kiln already.and a second kiln is now burning. All these things have iu I measure delayed the completion, l ut he in forms us that they will progress more rapidly iu the future. Cottage Grove Items. Court has adjourned for a, few days. Times are dull in this vicinity. The meeting of the Blue Ribbou Club is well atteuded. The new store of E. W. Whipple 4 Bros. is ucaring completion. Morrell Minstrels performed at this place on tho evening of the 13th. Harvest is in full blast. The threshins season has arrived and many machines are busily engaged. The wheat in this part of the couuty is badly struck with the rust. Some will not harvest on account of tho rust. The oat crap is pretty .'good. Con. Wheat News. Wo have conversed with several farmers during tho past few days, and the general opinion among them seems to be that the Spring sowu grain will not make over a third of a crop, but sny that most of it cut during the past week made a half crop. Some of the Spring grain will be burped iu the fields, but not so much as was at first anticipated, as the farmers will all cut their grain. If it pays tho cost of harvest ing. Something curious about the rust, is it not striking the oats, while in former years it always injured them more or less. Wheat. Wheat is worth from 90(292 cents per bushel in Portland. Tonnage seems to be scare, ami has a tendency to keep wheat down. The Portland Standard of the 21st says: "The British bark Kin chane, which arriyed unexpectedly, caused persons to think that there'are other vessels en route for this port, whose names haven't been made public. It may be a smart trick to keep these things iu the dark, but it is calculated to meet against them iu the end." Grand Co.NCEnT.--TheHutchinson Family will give a grand concert at Lane's Hall, Monday evening. The San Francisco Chron icle of January, 1S79 says of them: Metropo litan Temple was crowded last eve, large numbers of people being nnablo to gain ad mission, on the occasion of the first appear ance here, iu sacred concert, of the Hutchin son Family. Applause was plentifully given at the cloie of every effort. Accident. Mr M H Harlow while driv ing a header wagon was thrown out by one of the wheels running against a gate post, which he was passing through, and thereby thrown to 'the ground, dislocating his shoul der. Mr Harlow, we are glad to say, is up and around, and we hope ho will soon regain the strength of his arm. Concert. Mr John Kelly and gave a first-class entertainment at Lane's Hal) Wed. nesday evening to a moderate sized audienoe. The playing on t'le violin by Mr Kelley was excellent, and considering I. is age, be being over 70 years of age, his singing wis extra ordinary. Mrs Kelley executed some very line music on the piano. The Rain. It rained pretty hard Wednes dry night and Thursday during the day, but at the time of going to press it has cleared off. The farmers says ths rain, wilj not in jure the crops Lut, on,the contrary, will wash pip rust off, and m;Jte harvesting more pleas an w A HerionM Queatloa.

Peiu'nston luesday, evening, ou the farm of Mr. John Sax, adjoining towu, John Pennington was caught and shockingly mutilaed in the gearing of a threshing machine. The thresh er belonged to Mr. D. 0. Durham. Penning ton was employed as one of the fiodcrj, and wore a pair of gauutlet gloves, lie hail beeu relieved from his position as foeder. and without removing his gloves, went to work clearing out aud oiling the machinery. While ths young mau was cleaning out a journal near this machinery, the gauntlet of his glove flapped between the whorls, and quick as lightning's dart his hand was ground through the incorrigible vortex. The flying machinery moaned hideously, trembled and faltered from the shock, and young Peuuington staggered in agony away with his good right hand of the moment before bleed ing, shapeless mass a sickening spectacle to behold. The sufferer was assisted to Mr. Sax's house, aud physicians were called as quickly as possible. Drs. Tharp aud Young attended and at once proceeded to the nee ceseary task of emputatjon. , Peunington has au excellent constitution, and sustained his trying deprivation with more than ordinary stre igth aud fortitude. Good Health. The health of the people in this section of the county is better than it has been known tor several years. Mr. J. R. Ream, our undertaker, has looked over the number of deaths for tho past five years, aud reports that there has only been about one-fifth the number of deaths this year as of any proceeding one.
