I the wholesale manner in which the Portland papers bodily transfer our lo cal itelns into their columns, without even so much as saying thank you. The Bulletin gives no credit whatever to about a column thus ruthlessly snatched from us, while the Oregonian, with more consideration for our feel ings, condescends to credit a solitary item. We always make it a point to give the proper credit to all articles bodily taken from any journal, and consequently like to see the compli ment returned. Hence our lament The telegraph forgot to tell it, but it nevertheless leaked out through the Montana papers that the Democrats carry that Territory by a largely in- ereaeed majority. Major Maginnis is elected Delegate to Congress by a ma jority of over 500 against 800 two years ago, and both houses of the Leg islature are Democratic by a good vote. The people also voted to change the Capital from Virginia City to Helena. Hurrah for MooUna! Fast time is being made by running horses, as W’ell as trotters, as the sub joined will denote. In a race at Sara toga, on the 20th, “Fellowcraft,” by imported “Australian,” ran a four-mile race against two other horses, making the time of 7:19 J, beating “Lexing ton’s” famous record against time a quarter of a second. It is claimed that “Fellowcraft” is a year younger and carried more weight than “Lex ington,” when he made his time, which has heretofore stood unsurpass ed. The fastest time on record for a mile was made at the Saratoga meeting on the 14th of this month by Belmont’s horse, “Gray Planet.” It was on a bet of $2,000 that the horse could not beat 1:43}. “Planet” was accompa nied for the first half mile by the ches- nut mare “Woodbine,” and for the second half by “King Amadeus.” The track was heavy from a rain the day before, but “Gray Planet” won by a second, making his mile In 1:42}. He made the first quarter in 25 seconds, the half in 50, and the first three-quar ters in 1:16. “Gray Planet” is a five year-old, by “Planet,” dam “Eagless.” He carried 110 pounds in this race. GENERAL NOTE» AND NEW». PACIFIC COAST NEWS. The State Legislature will convene at Salem on September 14th. They have got Tecumseh’s toma hawk in the Portland Museum. The California Academy of Sciences is in possession of a monstrous chicken with four legs and four wings. The sugar refineries of San Francisco have compromised and united, and we may expect a raise in the price of that staple. An American and a German, of San Francisco, have made a $500 match for a foot race from that city to San Jose—52 miles. Portland has a Board of Trade, with ex-Senator Corbett as President. It has just been organized and contains al) the prominent men of the city. Trains of emigrants from Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska passed through Union during the week. They had come all the way the plains across and were nearly four months on the road. Articles of incorporation have been filed in the office of the Clerk of Mult nomah county by citizens of Clacka mas and Multnomah county, to dry vegetables, fruits, etc., by the Alden process. Capital $30,000. Cotton is being successfully cultivated in California. Merced county alone will produce 180,000 pounds this year. This yield is estimated at 100 pounds per acre, which is said to be more than any of the Southern States. In the field of Mr. Thomas Edwards, in the forks above Springfield, Lane county, a bunch of oats was cut, con sisting of 59 stalks grown from one grain, which produced 7,627 grains, measuring nearly half a gallon. Next! An ingenious school ma’am over in Yamhill has contrived a plan to keep her boys from running in and out. She varnishes the benches every morn ing, and now the urchins are trying to head her off by inventing detached bottoms to their trousers. Dr. A. J. Bowie, the physician who made the second post mortem exami nation on the body of W. B. Bourn, the San Francisco millionaire who was found dead in his bath-room several weeks since, is now lying at the point of death. The cause of his Illness is what is termed blood poison, conse quent upon the absorption of poisonous matter from the dead body. A Corvallis man, whose business calls him to Albany in a skiff, says his bark is regularly stolen by a party of fun-loving damsels of that place, who cross the river at “dusky eve” and go bathing. Thinking his persecutors were boys, he swam over to the resort the other evening, and did not dis cover his mistake until he had created a fearful panic among the fair offend ers. From a gentleman just down from the Elk creek mines in Grant county, the Mountaineer learns that the quartz mill has cleaned up on an average $1,000 for every twenty-four hours run, during several weeks past. There is no doubt but the owners of this mine have struck it rich. In the same lo cality there are some twenty-six w’ell defined quartz ledges, a number of which have been more or less pros pected with very good results. A letter to the Record says there is a young w’idow lady in Lane county who last winter plowed between 70 and 80 acres of ground for her father and harrowed the most of it in. Then turned out her team and went and got a certificate as a teacher, took up a school and taught until haying and harvest commenced, when she dropped the “birch” and again took up the reins and cut her father’s and uncle’s grain and is now cutting for the neigh bors. The annual report of the Secretary, Mrs. C. S. Wood worth, of the Oregon Children’s Aid Society, shows that thirty-six children have at different periods been received and provided for, many of them having arrived in a most destitute condition. The great er number of these have been adopted by excellent families or claimed by relatives. Only one has been removed by death, Henrietta Bedwell, who died February 12th of this year, and was interred in the Mission Cemetery, aged about six years The present number of inmates is seven, and applications have been made for the admission of five more. The average number in the family varies from seven to twelve. The society is prepared to receive homeless, friendless or orphan children from any part of the State, and letters of application or inquiry addressed to the Secretary witt command prompt attention.
