S. HURLBURT. A ATTORNEY LAW, at A haatsome Compliment. The Editor of the Portland. Chris- tian Adwcufc has lately paid the North Yamhill reigon a visit in the prosecution of his Pastoral duties, and on hi« retam thus speaks of that beautiful section of Country, through his paper ; 5 ; “ Leaviog tho fir brush and fern all behind, we found a rich, undulating and beautiful prairie, The farms are large and well improved, The crops of wheat; grass and oats «re -growing finley, and there are unmistakable evi dences oft enterprise and thrift on eve ry hand. The fencing is most excellent, the orchards large and flourishing, the barns capacious with something in them, the .cattle, horses, sheep and hogs numerous and of superior quality. The only objection of a serious char acter; that we can offer, is the farms are too large. Men own too much of mother earth. And though well fen ced and pretty well worked, yet it ia-a miBiortuoe to bavOtoo much. B., P. and 8., whom we visited, own respectively about one thousand, twelve hundred, and two thousand acres of most valuable lands j - Fur grain and stock-growing we have neen but little to equal and nothing to surpass North Yambill any where on the Pacific coast."-- We will merely add our testimony to the superior merits of that portion of our County, by saying tbat the Courier is by far better sustained in North Yamhill Precinct, than it is in any other precinct in the County, save Lafayette and Dayton.
