The gloomy fears, the desponding views, the weariness of soul that many complain of, would eften disappear were the blood made pare and healthy before reaching the delicate eeael of the brain. Ayer's Sarsaparilla porifie and vitalize the blood, and thus conduce to health of body and sanity of mind. Mr Elijah Mays, of Lane county, the father of Hen Rolwrt Mays, was in town last week. This wa the first time he has been in The Dal'e since 13.52, when in reaching the Willamette Valley from a jour ey across the plains, he stopped at this place about two week before pmceedirg down the river. Although Mr M ha passed the allotted three (core year and ten, he ap pear not to have Ut the igor of yontb .-1 peJle Mountaineer. I Hun,inS Ashing Excursion, It is good to get outside of the thronged street .way fr ira brick and mortar, outside of the rumbling of carriages, the roar of the escap pipe, the scream of the steam whistle, the bustle amlst ifoof the busiuess of the furm , away from the heated atmosphere of the Willamette valley into the mountains of the McKenzie, whose lofty peaks stand out in hold relief and whose tops seem to pierce the Hue aiched heavens. After traveling two day we ramped at a place called Pillar Rock, or Cougar Gap. Here we are surrounded by giga-.tic fnre.it trees whose shadows make it a cxd retreat in the heat of the day, and whose dense foliage fill the air with freshness and fragrance. Here the rugged and sublime, the beautiful in natural scenery, are magnificently mingled in the surroundings of this noble river, the McKenile, whose water flow on their ever biting course through the mountain gorges, and where the deer, the panther and the bear still range, nnd where the speckled and red side trout sport in the crystal waters. Back up the mountains to the north are some per pendicular piles of neks, from the top of which can be seen the Three Sister, with their tall peaks covered with eternal snow glistening in the dazzling sunlight with the beams of the set ting sun shining in golden light over their lofty domes. At this immense rocky cuff Mis Ida Parsons gave us some beautiful pencil sketches of the mountain scenery. At this point I thought of the words of the Psalmist, The mountains ami the hills praise the Lord and magnify him forevei. In his hands are all the corners of thu earth and the strength of the hills is his also. 0, Lord, how manifold are thy works; in wisdom has thou made them all" The next day we camped on Blue liver. Here we were joined hf in r old friend Henry Hill. He and our fisherm in, Edgar Parsons, caught 123 trout in ont day. The next day we orranlzed a sh t iu match, Miss Clara Parsons cam off first best, having come within one inch of the targit, distance 40 yards off hand. At this place we found plenty of will flowers, some resimb'in,' heliotrope, trating arhutus and many other varieties. For the benefit of ladies who wish t m ike this trip, we would say provide yourselves with broad" soled, loose-fitting shoes and short full dresses. And now rea t-r, it ord to you and I hae done. When you pant for the forest breez and the snow cooling stream, re member the same wild region, the same beautiful river, the tail .uoiiutaiiis are time still, all inviting you to tent their recuierating agencies, the trout and deer are waiting your pleasure. VUit them when the Summer heat mikes the valley hot and dusty; give a month to a wilderness life, ami you will return to your labors invig orated in strength, liouyant in spirit ami a Winer, healthier and better man. Anyone wishing to treat themselves to fine blackberries or honey, should call nu ) W Davis, on the Hiuksnn farm. He also has tine vegetable; he showed us a fine lot of turnips, one which measured three fet and seven inches in cir cumference. It will likely be on exhibition at our County Fair. Thomas Bulsiiavv.

Mr Birn1 n't, ti e con. verted Jew, who baa been making a consid erable sti- in Oregon and Washington, re ceives this "benelit" from Y S Turner iu the Christian Advocate: "A certain relig ious tramp not long since passed through this county, claiming to baa ion verted Jew. That be is a Jew i not aerinusly questioned; but that he is true christian you will judg for yourself after I stste some fart that have been given me. He came to Pomeroy some month since and passed himself off as a Methodist. He then went to Lewiston and claimed to he a Presbyterian, Soon after be made the Colfax people, a visit, and there was an ardent Baptist. He had occas ion to v. sit Palouse City, and finding the Campbellites in the ascendancy, be became a moat ardent and zealous advocate of that faith.

We clip the following from the Astorian: The extraordinary time 300 yards in 33 seconds made by Gen No laud at the Firemen Tournament at Albany, occasion considerable comment. The record is a splendid one, and for an amateur rarely equalled. The best time on record wa made at Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 2d of last January, by H. Hutchens, a profes sional. He made 300 yard in 30 second. In America the best 300 yard record i credited to L. E- Myers, an amateur, who made that distance at New York City, Oct 22, 1S8I, in 31 seconds. It won Id appear from these figures that if nor fleet-limbed city attorney were to practice a little, the championship .night be transferred to the extreme western verge of the continent.

Grower who have not already contracted their crops, decline any offsr under 30 cents, while at present 2.VS20 cents would probably be all that could b obtained. W cannot chanc our estimate of th growing on in England or New York State, although th weather ha been favorable to their devel opment for th post few day. But it will be remembered that our for ner estimates hav been mail on the basis of good weather for the remainder of the season. Should the weather have proved unfavorable we should have been obliged to reduce our figures.

Harris, LirE or Ci.evei.and. Col Frederick E Goodrich' admirable "life" of Giovr Cleve land is now ready; it is handsomely bound and printed, and contains upward of 500 pagos, it i illustrated by first-class artists; it is from the press of Messrs II Hallett k Cn, of Portland, Maine. As rapid biographer, Mr Goodrich doub.tl ms stand without a rival in America, and the volume ha the impress of the broadest information and most careful at tention on every page. 'This is th biography that received tbe inestimable benefit of the active co-operation and assistance of Mr Cleve land, his relatives and friends; this ia th vol ume that i recommended by th friends and private SoW.aryof the distinguished anli- date; it is a truo picture, d awn by a master hand, of the life of the statesman fun the humble cradle to the present day, and pre sent a atrl in? c. ntrzst to the scire of so called ''lives" which are to a large extent filled with irrelevant matter made up from th news papers of the day.
