Address, Bed House Trade "Union, Sacramento, CaL, the great one iprice house of the coast, JL Good Haul. A few days ago a couple of Grant' Pass Ikjjk, Joe Dimick, and Gilbert Mansfield, dis covered the winter quarters of a family -of "bears, and found that they were tiU in the den. Preparing them ikItm tne boys went back, and open Sag their batteries succeeded in killing i teearx, which was a fair-Haul for w kty. v' -. -- - Cuers is 'Sam's Yxlvey.C C. McClendon, one of the thritty farmers acros th river was in town this week nd reports the wheat crop in a very flourishing condition. He says about one half of Sam's valley was "summer fallowed" and sown early in the fall and he is clearly convinced that this node of farming must be more prac ticed to insure certain and profitable vhcat crops. "Broom Corx. In answering ques tions to correspondents the Willamette Farmer observes that, "Broom corn does not grow to best advantage in Oregon." We will correct the Farmer by faying, that in Jackson county broom corn does grow to the very best advantage and that better brooms have been manufactured from it than ever imported. If Jackson county is to be considered out of Oregon, except for taxation, the Farmer is correct. Pkobablk McnDER. The Port Or ford Post says that the body washed Cuihore at that place has been exhumed and identified as that of Win. Black, a miner on "Big Bar" on Bogue river, tear "John Mule" creek. An autopsy disclosed a fracture of the skull and a deep incised wound in the neck and the coroner's jury find that the deceased ame to his death by violence at or near Henry Bosenbrook's place be tween Little Meadows and the mouth of John Mule creek. Tns Crops. Prospects for a large wheat crop are, at present, not flatter ing. A larg acreage was plowed and ready for seeding when the storms omenced, but t'-ie ground is beaten tHiilti uy cue rami una ik yei too wei to plow again, -so that a large amount of seed wil' bs put in late. Farmers are generally, of opinion that as the climate is evidently changing, there must be more wheat sown lefore the winter rain begin. The summer fal low ilever looked better, and promises a heavy yWd. Hoomumism. We have been in clined to scold some of the bovs of Jacksonville for hoodlum p-oj)ensities but it remains for Ashland to furnish "boys so low and brutal that the partic ulars of their filtliv mischief can not be put in print. The three boys, noted in last week's Sextixel as arrested in Ashland for disturbing a public meet ing in a manner not to be told to "ears polite," were tried this week and fined ?10 each, their whole costs amounting to 8240. To the credit of Ashland, be it said, the whole community jrere shocked at, and ashamed of their con duct. From sympathy with their par ents the names of these young offen ders are witheld. Their parents ahould now tan them into decency. "War or Baces. The city election, as grave and as quiet as possible, pro duced the very worst results, and it is feared will end in a war of races. A very worthy Teuton had been elected as 'KJitv Father" but a representative of the Hebrew branch of the Semitic tree waxed wroth, because he supposed the Teuton a business rival. They met. Hot words ensued, blows followed and honors were easy, until a female Sem ite chipped in, when our militia gen eral gallantly chusked the latter out of the way and prevented inevitable bloodshed. Tne air is full t ruBffOT. tba tiesoendant of Sbein' threatening to tan Lis enemy like a deer skin; the descendent of Janhet Towing that he will put the Semite where no dog Las ever been throusn his sausage machine, and so it stands.

Mrs. Stone is sojourning at the home ranch near Phoenix at present.-" Mi?s Lizzie Hargadine, says the " Tidings," was voted the handsomest girl in Ashland the other day. The boys here say there are so many "handsomest" girls in Jacksonville that a decisive vote would be impossi ble and even a Louisiana returning board would be nonplussed. Hon. D. P. Thompson, Mayor of Portland has a contract for clearing 100 miles of the road bed for the O. R. fc N. Co. between Portland and The Dalles. We would lite to hear of a job too big, short of up ending tho globe, for Dave to handle, for he thinks the last contract a mem bagatelle. The Nebraska Legislature has passed a law imjKJsing a license of $1,000 on the sale of liquor in the large cities and $500 in the smaller towns. It also makes "treating" to the drinks n misdemeanor.

The Board of Bailroad Commission ers of Ca ifornia have established a rate of passenger, tariffs over the differ ent roads in that State which is a ma terial reduction of present rates. The rate in no instance exceeds four cents per mile which is double tha of most eastern roads. The reduction from Redding to Sacramento is $2,G5, which will bo quite a saving. The Board also demands that the Companies shall establish a rate for second class passen gers not exceeding 60 per cent, of charges for first class passengers. Bro. Kellv of the Independent takes the Sextixel mildly to task for defend ing Senator Mitchell and excoriation of a member of tho Republican party. Friend Kelly mistakes tho position of this paper. We Jpnly exhibited the fair account between Mr. Mitchell and the party and rebuked, by the showing, a would be dictator who pretentiously assumes the rightto make and unmake Senators in advance of Conventions. Our party,- like -that of Mr. Kelly's, knows no master but its Own will, and keeps poor time'.tithe music of a par ty whip. wKVHKTX7T?i!aD to i vw - IIININU ISTELLltiESCE.

It is sorrowfully that wo chronicle the death of Jacob Ish, one of the fore most citizens of Jackson county, which occurred yesterday about 5 a. m., from bronchitis after an illness of a little over two weeks. For the past few days Mr. Ish's case had been at least hopeful, but on Thursday morning, his lungs became congested and in a few hours he was beyond all human leech craft Mr. Ish was born in Loudon county, Va., in 1823, and caino to this valley in ISG0, having resided here continuously ever since Earth has had few better or kinder hearted men than he who has just left us ; and the lass of one who so fully enjoyed the respect and confidence of the whole community, from knowledge of his north and probity, is a public one. Like all, Mr. Ish may have had faults, but we never knerv them; and can only remember him as a warm hearted and staunch friend. He leaves a sorrow ing wife and daughter and a number of uttached brothers who will know his kindly greeting no more in this world. The whole community feel as if many others could have been tatter spared, but it is not for man to say what is, or is not, to be, and may the memory of the good man alwa)s be green. Tiie Legion. Last Saturday thu Legion presented the drama of "Fruits of the Wine Cup" by our own amateur company and every character was well sustained. Dick Klippel, Dave Crosby, Chas. Prim, Jas. Little, Geo. Howard and Wm. Bilger did their share par ticularly well, and Misses Prim, Bilger and Little did excsllont acting. The rest of the entertainment was musical, and the Choir a mixture of No.'s 1 uud 2 led by Jlr Brooks, Ia"g some beautiful piece', and the performer, the Misses Linn, Tillie Miller, Tillie Klippel and Messrs. Wise, Boyer, Klipi el and Hyzer all favorites really outdid themselves. A solo and tableaux by Clara Neuber was real good and little Maggie Shipley sang "Coming thro' th rvo" very prettily and with childish simplicity that al ways wins plaudits. The duet on the piano by Miss Carrio Beekman and Miss Ida Fisher showed the highest degree of artistic touch and finish in performers so young. The house was well filled and everyone went away perfectly satisfied leaving in tho treas ury of the Legion $53 which was well deserved. Sad Bereavement. At last the family of A. C. Jones have been called on to part with a beloved child that, for four months, had been lingering be tween lifn and eternity. For a few davs there had been hope, hut it came only from thd re-vivification that is the precursor of death for, too soon, the flickering taper was quenched and the opening petals of a promising flower, withered as by the noon's hot breath. On Thursday morning It was evident that the little heart that had ciung to loving parents, while it continued to beat fainter and fainterwas to be still ed, and when Azarel whisp'erecT "come. Katie, come, the dark shadow that we1 have all felt or must feel, had fallen on a home, so desolate, and the weary lit tle feet, waiting so long, rested on the B.CJsed Shore. It is not given to hu manity to offer consolation in the dread presence of the inevitable but it is fciv en to offer spmpathv to weep with those who weep and the consolation of the grief stricken parents can only be found in the promise "Blessed nre the pure in spirit; for they shall see God."
