Atdiffer ent intervals of pip'n ofl the gravel at the Sterling mine this spring portions of the jawbone and teeth off an enor mous size came to light, at a depth of some forty feet from tho surface. The tooth now at the headquarters of Frai'k Ennis evidently was a molar of an extinct raco ot elephants, winch ages ago, inhabited this portion of the globe. The tooth in question is 8 inches wide, G inches long and 2J iches through. The weight of the ivory of the tooth when in the animal's mouth nui'-t have been 21 pounds, and if the other part of the body were in proportion to this tooth (figuring on the basis of the weight that an ordin ary horse' tooth sustains to the rest of his body) the '-eight of tho mastodon under consideration, whpn alive, must have been not less than 40,000 pounds.

Many an old settlor of Jackscn county will be interested to learn ths particu lars of the death of uncle William Wright, who for the past four years has been an invalid and in charge of the county. He died at tho County Hospital at 3 o'clock in the morning, May 2Sth, after a wearisome and painful illness of four ears, aged 82 years. He was a native of New York, where he had some relatives, who from time to time remembered him with small remittances. Mr. Wright was one of the old pioneer miners of this county, and previous to his great mis fortune, when he was in the noontide of his prosperity, he was highly re spected as a good citizen and clpver gentleman, and his memory will be especially cherished by the old-time miners on Sterling, where ho resided when overwhelmed by the aliliction which terminated his life. He was buried by the hospital -authorities on the day of his death, with no one to shed a tear over his grave. His many acquaintances on Sterling and in Jack sonville knew nothing of his death un til nearly two weeks after it had taken place. We understand it is the inten tion of his numerous acquaintances to find the place on pottersfield where nst . the weary bones of William Wright and to erect a -slab with ap prnpriate inscription to his memory. Sentences Committed. Gov. Thay er has recently granted the following commutations of sentence to convicts in the Oregon penitentiary: On Mon day he commuted the sentence of Chas. Gilfov. sent to the penitentiary Aug. 8, 1872, for life, from Multnomah county, for the crime of murder in the second degree. His sentence was com muted on petition signed by a large number of influential citizens of Mult nomah county, including the district attorney and five of the jurors by whom Gilfoy was tried, and for the reason that tin; object of the legal res traint seem fully accomplished in this case. Gilfoy, it will be remembered, was convicted of the murder of one William Wales at Thompson's board ing house in this city. Mr. Gilfoy for merly lived in Jacksonville. The gov ernor has also granted a full pnrdon to J. M. Crickett, sent to tho penitentiary from Jackfon county in November, 1830, convicted for the crime of lar ceny and sentenced to two years' im prisonment, there being grave doubts whether the proof of guilt as submitted to the jury was sufficient to warrant a conviction. He is therefore restored to all the rights and privileges hereto fore enjoyed by hiin under the laws of the State. Oregonian. Let us be Thankful. Tho refresh ed state of our gardens, Gelds and meadows, sinco the glorious rains is pleasing to behold. The exceedingly light rainfall so far during this spring, ami the drooping appearance of tne fields especially of the fields of grain sown late, began to fill the minds ot our farmprs with manyg loomy forebo dings. But now everything is chang ed. To-day, the industrious agricul turist feels inspired at the thought that his labors will bo rewarded with a bountiful crop. A good crop of wheat, oats, barley, amber cane, corn, potatoes, alfalfa, etc., seems now fully assured. Let us hopo that no blighting frosts, nor other phenomenal disorders, will interfere with the outlook now so bright and full of promise! Hail. During the storm on the af ternoon of the 3d of June considerable hail fell in the neighborhood of Herd's saw mill on Poorman's creek. The ground was covered to the depth of two inches; a good deal of it remaining on the ground until next day. The hail stones were the size of partridgo eggs, and they came down so fast and thick as to compel men working out deors to seek shelter under trees and in their houses. Fortunately the hail storm did not extend to this side of the mountain, if it had our orchards and vineyards would havo been ruined. IUIJ.IM. Ul'.l.l 1.1 ! II I. Xlr.A.Xl.X. 2:33X3 McKef.
