Farmer: Number 7 and 8, Vol. VIT, of your valuable paper, has failed to reach me, I could better afford to loose 60 pages in the middle of David Copper lielcl, than to loose those two papers. I cut and sow each paper, raagazino form; commence at the beginning and read every thing to tho end. Will you please scud mo the above numbers, Jfyou can possibly do so. I seo by my last paper (April 10th,) that Governor Grover has appointed several gen tlemen Commissioners of Emigration to your State. Thero is not a State in tho Union that needs a Commissioner more than Ne braska. In ray small circle of acquaintances I know of hundreds who would, if they could 866 out, gladly emigrate to Oregon. We have had a very hard v. tutor. I lost several head of stock, although well provided with hay and shelter. To-day (May-day) there is several inches of snow on the ground, and not a mouthful of green food for man or beast. If one violet would make a garland forour "Queen of May" that ono could not be procured to commemorate our morry old English May-days. I would llketQhaye ilatcost prices, all forage and other fofcd, at State sectional mip of O.Tgoo, la order to dPp0i conveniently located within tbo 'CC-aio places, as 1 aoaci of tLcul fit tho Far nroundsV Live Stock at the Centennial. It is understood that tbo Bureau of Agri culture of tho International Centennial Ex hibition, has determined to exhibit Live Slock within tho months of September and October, 1ST(3; the periods devoted to each class uud family being fifteen dajs, and the division as follows: Hones, mules and esses, (as one class), from September first to fifteenth. Horned cattle, (of all varieties), from Sep tember twentieth to Octobor filth. Sheep, swine and goats, (as one class), from October tenth to twenty-tilth. An important rule regulating admission requires that all animals exhibited, bo of pure blood, (trotting stock aud fat cattle ex cepted). Auothor rule not to be overloaked, excludes all animals, ev6n though tboy be thoroughbrod, which are not highly merit orious. The oxblbltion ,bolng open to the whole world, It is of the first imuortance that we bring forward the bent of their kind only, as tho character of our stock will be judged by the general average of those exhibited. Exhibitors will be expected to provide for l'oodiug their stock. Auotllcorof thuBuieau, specially charged with the duty, will furnish meu. How ran I procure a Jew of tuoeo pam phlets, entitled "Oregon? I want ouo my self, and a few for my neighbors; I .-ort tc tho Franklin book store, and sot Iho Oregon Hand Book which I read carefully, I think it very good, but I believo something more explicit could bo gotten up for tho use of tho intending immigrant. Anything you can t-oud mo in the line of maps, circulars, etc., will be appreciated. By the way, your flax correspondence mo right back to within a few miles of Bel fast (North of Ireland) whoro I was born and llvod until I was 27 years old, consequently tbo raising and manufacture of flax, forced itself upon me intuitively. Should I live to roaoii Oregon I will join in with your flax enthusiasts, and (eel altogether nt home. Hoping jour piper will make its regular weekly appearance lu future, I am yours resp'y, James Bell. Warehouse and "Wharf. In j&lomoriam. At a special meeting of Perrydale Grange, No 30, P. of H., the following was reported aud adopted: Whereas, It has pleased an all-wiso Prov idence to remove from among us, by death, Sanford Morris, a worthy member of this Orange; therefore be It Resolved, That by the death of Brother Harris we have suffered the loss of an etli cleat and earnest co-worker in our cause, so ciety a faithful and upright citizen and his family a kind protector.

Mr. Conner and a com petent number of workmen are engaged In framing the lmmeuse timbers, and we doubt if any warehouse in our State can claim a moro substantial character than this will possess when finished. The construction of a good wharf there will destroy the innocent quiet of that once so lately peaceful and solitary neighborhood. A Betolution.
