Oregon is quite well represented in this fair. Of the Oregon exhibits the San Fran cisco Bulletin of Aug. 9th, says: Oregon lias taken advantage of the drouth with which California is thia year affected and sends samples of her products to the exhibition. This is a year of plenty in the Webfoot State and her granaries promise to be over flowing after the musical song of the sickle shall have ended. Many Ore gon farmers have also a large surplus of last year’s wheat on hand, and John II. Mitchell estimates Oregon’s income this year from the sale of cereals alone at ?20,000,000. The salmon fisheries on the Columbia, the coal fields and the forests will yield several millions more. For these and other considera tions Oregon has regarded it as a fa vorable time to do something in the way of advertising her resources. At the Mission-street end of the Pavilion and near the 'main entrance of the Horticultural Department are exhibi ted some of the vegetable products of Oregon^ showing the wonderful fertili ty of its Foil as manifested in the growth of grass, clover and the differ ent cereals. There are bundles of seed flax, red clover five feet high, wheat and oats which seem to be shrubs rather than stalks of grain; Although not placed in a very favora ble location, the exhibit cannot fail to attract attention. T en T housand D ollars for a rink of W ater .—In one of the hot D ly contested fights in Virginia, during the war, a Federal officer fell in front of the Confederate breastworks. While lying there wounded and crying for water, a Confederate soldier (James Moore, of Burk Co., N. C.,) declared his intention of supplying him with a drink. The bullets were flying thick from both sides, and Moore’s friends tried to dissuade him from such a haz ardous enterprise. Despite remon strance and danger, however, Moore leaped the breastworks, canteen in hand, reached the wounded enemy and gave him a drink. The Federal, under a sense of gratitude for the time ly service, took out his gold watch and offered it to his benefactor, but it was refused. The officer then asked the name of the man who had braved such danger to succor him. The name was given, and Moore returned unhurt to his position behind the embankment. They saw no more of each other. Moore was subsequently* wounded and lost a limb in one of the engagements in Virginia, and returned to his home. A few days ago he received a commu nication from the Federal soldier to whom he had given the “cup of cold water” on the occasion alluded to, an nouncing that he had settled on him the sum of $10,000, to be paid in four in stallments of $2,500 each.

T he S mallest B ook in the W orld .—A search is going on for the smallest volume in the world. One has been found seven-eights of an inch long, half an inch wide and a litth more than an eighth of an inch thick. Its title page reads as follows: “Schloss’ English Bijou Almanac for 1842, poet ically illustrated by the Hon. Mrs. Nor ton; published by A. Schloss, Fancy Stationer to II. R. IL, the Dchs. of Ivent, 12 Berners str., Oxford str.” The book is illustrated with portraits of the Priucess Royal of England,Then an infant, Charles Dickens, Rachel, Herr Standigl, Ellen Tree, and John Murray. The type is very small, and was probably cast especially for this and similar books, but it is perfectly legible to persons of ordinary good sight. Is there any smaller book than this in the world? “E ight to S even .”—In his lecture on “Eight to Seven,” Col. Bob Inger soll warns young men to steer clear of office seeking, and gives utterance to the following gem: “I’d rather have forty acres of land, a rude cabin there with the woman I love in it; a grass bordered path leading down to the spring which gurgles in joy all day long; a vine at the door and hollyhocks growing in a corner, with a latticed window through which tho checkered light should fall upon the placid baby in his cradle—I’d rather live there than be a clerk to any Government on tho face of the earth.
