Rockfel low, for the fiuest lot of strawberries we ever saw. We measured what appeared to be the smallest berry, and found it not less I han three inches in circumferenoe, while many of the large ones were over four. Since this splendid fruit can be grown, in such perfection, iu the warm granite soil ot our foothills, we wonder that any of our people should undertake to enjoy themselves without the luxury of strawberries and cream. We have received a pamphlet, hand somely printed by A. G. Walling Port land Ogn., entitled “Howard’s cam paign against tbe Nez Forces. ” The author, Thomas A.

We are glad to know that the business of this old stan dard institution is gooi, and yet it has never received the pitronage it de serves. Thousands of dollars might be saved, forborne circulation, if our people would decide to clothe them selves in these substantial woolen fab ricfl, instead of showing their old time weakness for cotton mixtures and shoddy. >------------- < As usual, tfiere ;.s a vast deal of trav over the ro id from Rogue River valley, via the Soda Springs,to the Like coun try. We think it would pay Jackson, well, to make a liberal appropriation for tho improvement of the road, since the trade of the Lake region is of incal culable value to the people on this side. A few hundred dollars, judiciously ex pended in taking out rocks and roots, cutting trees, eto^ would doubt 1 ww prove a splendid investment, in the en couragement it would git'e to the wag- oningpublic. r<r t A Sunday or two ago, two pairs of young people from Ashland, went to Maj. Barron’s on a visit, and when the time came to return, one pair- took their position in the hack and pre tended to be going to return without the other pair. This caused the afore said “other pair” to experiment a lit tle, which they did by saying to the pai* in the hack to go ahead, of course not dreaming that they would Jo so. The result wa8 that the “other pair,” aforesaid, prolonged their visit at the Major’s uutil the next day's stage. The Pioneer Meeting. ... . "i • Thanks to Wm.

On acoount of fche crowd ed state of our columns, we cannot publish the full report until next week. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Lindsay Applegate; Vice Presidents, Thomas Smith and David Linn; Secretary, Wm. Hoffman;-Treasurer, (J S. Hayden The objects of the Society are com mendable and it deserves the hearty support and encouragement of all the “old-timers." J. E. TOZER, T u . at S elf B inder —The Osborne self bind-r, lately received by B F Reeser,has attracted no little attention, and is universally acknoweldged to be a perfect triumph of mechanical ingen uity. Those who have seen it tried say it is almost marvelous how it wades into a grain field, gathers the graiu into bundles of any required siib.biuds them with a little wire, twists and cuts «•ff the wire and tosses the bundles aside,as if it knew as well as the farmer himself what is required in the premis es. If we bad been told a score of years ago that such an invention were practicable, we would doubtless have scouted the idea as absurd and vision ary. Such a marvel of mechanical in genuity and skill cannot long be kept out of the fields of intelligent farmers, and we doubt net will soon be in gen eral use. Mr. Reeser is prepared to furnish these valuable muchiues for $375 each. Call and see the self bin der for yourself. 1776 - 1878. PROCESSION. Reiding of the Declaration of Independence by C. 11.
