This it 6ii age of such rapid progress that oui jounguien are not content lo follow the dull .routine of mral life. The tnall brings the tiovvspsper with Its record of stirring events, and thojounj; mind becomes discontented -with its farrow ranso of virion, as a rons,e juoiico of thus understanding foihoUiIur ot tho world's brihtufi"s in moie crowded wetied. T.savlUft the larm Jor the city, our .South sometimes acquire fame or fortune, by lorce ot natural cbaiartur they individually poises, but more ofien nipotairrow and dis appointment. The question ailcei; why cannot rural life be made to salUiy any ra- ,iona ambition, and tho country retain Its wins? The healthiest, most morally wholo soiao, and ns an average the most iudepen--cluul uud successful class ol citizens are those who till the laud and supply mankind with Ihe material raUed trum the f-oll that (at--isties tho demands of manufacture- and the Arts.

There aie many ueishorhoods that pos 548 thessi advantages already; Indeed wo do not 600 any iea.sou why every farmer's bouse OKimot have u growing library, and possess the reading matter we expect to see in city Itomes. It may uot be so easy to keep up .t'roquont social iutercouse, but It is possible u make social iuterujurse delightful and re fined, and as a coustqueuoe elevating. A literary society can ba maintained in every wtiool district m Oregon. Twenty years ago .ntH-li a socioty was maintained in the hills -flouth of Salem, and was a sou roe of great pleasure aud improvement to the neighbor hood in which we lived, prominent mem .feeraof which were Joliu Minto and Daniel JIark auit6thers well kuov4 to the farmers -t Oregon to-day. We have no doubt that 4try district in Oregon has good material to mark. with. If it could be called to use, and wice made available, it would cause the kids of It members to think, study, and prepare for debates Ac, aud thus b very TOeaencM. No doubt many join the Orange chiefly -with a view to takiu advantage of its bust-iii-ena feature, not recognizing that it has an -n.Sject mid purpose cl'lar greater importance. While its business features are matters of Would, aud experience must guide the pro-j;t-ss to bo made in that direction, tho social, moral suiil iutellectiul advantages of the oidor are undoubted aud can be most readily isiwouiplisbed if thoroughly undertaken. It uttrikes us that the Urauge otlors a solution to the very important subject we are dis cus ius: How uall the young men of mind .and enterprise be made contented with sountry 111? The auswer is; make the Grange a delightful tcbool for all the social firtues; let the intellectual advanoemont of -ll be kept iu view ; have a good library, and select elevating subjects of common interest far debate. I u short, let the Orange be the uteans of cultivating the grace of life, and ,! of developing the minds of it members, ausd at the same time Its business Interest -rfli develop tbe practical talent and enter- yrise-of those moot competent to take care of heni. Iu tbe past there has been no (Oil table 4ald, elsewhere than in the great eitlesof rise world, for intellect to develop and for -aatarprise to succeed . Tile material rxlsted fa the country, but the magnets the great -Sties attracted the scattered particles to the .orauraon center. It remains to be seen If, trfyUio organization of local foroes, the de velopment of mind and direction of enter yrisecan be sustained in rural circles, and t'Jbua remain independent of the influence of iSvstropolltau life. Tno life of tho metropolis Is morally, ruacsally aud financially unhealthy at leant ,to a considerable degree. The morbid -xvuKioty for riches becomes a disease that ..poisons aud destroys many, while a few be- .route enormously enriched, Tbe "rings" ihat corrupt politic, thrive a.id prosper in Init crowded atmosphere. The ill success ,f thousands leads to crime or destitution. Tho more thronged the cities become, the jrreater is the lucrea.se of ciiminal expenses ,j.ul consequent taxation. Country life ha aaore rational rewards and truer successes, wtth uiorefolld comfort aud happiness than -ads to the lot ut the avenge millionaire. Ch feverish iiitluomvi of towns is felt every' ariiere, and the remody is to bring borne lo avery country household pood schools and the social privileges and accoraplisrmeuts aaul intellectual advanUpes tbat have been fcUheno monopoliKed by denser popn'aUona aaatalnad in tonus ana cities. The Oldest Pioneer. Of a few bolil voyagers who spied oui this goodly land, from tliirty-llvo t.) ilfty years ago, fcw; very few indeed, tuv now nuinberotl ntnon tlie living to behold the ehunge-j wrought by tlnio'.s lelentle-! niuieli. J Ion. Donald Matwin, Sr., the eaili- ct pioneer now living within the original boundaries of the Territory of Oregon, is a native of Scotland, and was born Anril (ith. I SOU. He received a good practical education in the coun try schools oi tus native litnti, mm wns bred to tho plow (upon his father's farm) until his 17th year, when lie n terect tho service of the Hudson's Hay Company, and -ailed for America, reaching lltulbon Day in Sept. 1817. Ho remained on tho east side of the Rocky mountains until 18J;J, when ho received an appointment to accompany the exploring expedition into tho coun try now known as the C'assiar mining district. At the closj of the labors oi the expedition, Mr. Man-on returned by wuy of Twice river, to Lake Atha basca, aim in tho lull ot JS'-'i received instructions to nrocecd to the Columbia Department and report for duty to Mr. Chief Factor John McLaughlin, in charge at Tort Vancouver, where he til rived April (ith, IS'23. The ensuing summer no -uperintenn-ed the erection of J'ort Lnngley, tho first trading po-t established wet of the Rocky mountains, north of Fort Vancouver, letttrnir.g in the fall to the Columbia, where he remained until the spring of 18U7, when two American ves-els entered the river; the brig Owyhee, and schooner Convoy, the former commanded by Capt. Domintis. ai:d the latter by Captain Tom-on. Their object was to establish trading with the Indian-. Mr. Mansoii was sent at once to oc cupv the post of Astoria for tho pur-po-e of oppo-ing his company'-now rivals in the tr.itllc. On arriving at Astoria he found the Astor company's old foit -o completely in ruin- thai for a time he was compelled to live in it lent. Two ve els bolongingvto the llud-on Day Co.. arrived annually fiotu Kngliind with -iipjilies lor the trade, and tlii- year, 1S-J7, one of them, the William and Ann, was wrecked on the bar. livery per-on on board per' i-hed. The cirgo was likewise a total loss. At the time Mr. M-an-on was in charge of the Asloiia post, there was no white persons living on Clatsop plains nor anywhere on the lower riv er. Neither were there any domestic animals below Fort Vancouver. The Clatsop and Chinook Indians were at that day numerically in tho full pride of their strength. The head chief of all the Chinooks, Comcomly, whom Washington Irving-, in his " Astoria, " so graphically introduced to tho world, glorified himself in being the " mon arch of all he htirveyed." Yet his FiAiple, as well as tho surrounding rfbes,lived on terms-of good fellow slilp with their few white neighbors and occasional visitors. According to the late Dr. John McLaughlin, tho first great calamity which befel the Indians of the Lower Columbia and Willamette rivers, was the visitation of the plague which swept through those tribes in the fall of 1829, with such frightful mortality as almost to depopulate entire Tillages. In the spring of 1821), Mr. Mniison was appointed to accompany Mr. Chief factor uguen to csmniisn a po-si home distance north of Fort Langley, and which is now known as Fort Simpson. The following summer he succeeded in erecting a pot in Mill Dank .Sound, which he called Fort McLaughlin, and of which he remained iu charge until 1820, when, after a lfiost adventurous life of 22 yo.irs, of valuable service, ho was gratified to receive a leavo of ab sence for twelve months, a respite which wai mo't richly deserved after the long continued and onerous duties he had ut faithfully porformed. In the spring of ihe last mentioned year, he left Vancouver and proceeded across tho mountains to Hudson Day. whero lift took passage for England, utid with out anything remarkable having trans pired on the voyage in due time reach ed the desired haven. Arranging his ofl'airs he proceeded at once to revisit his old Caledonia home, where he soon found himself surrounded by those en dearing objects which brought mast vividly to mind the fond recollections of his early childhood and youth. Rut time passed pleasantly, but alas I too swiftly away; for the day now drew near when he was literally to realize that hentiment contained in these lines penned by Scotland's gitted bard: " Strong raein'ry ou my heart shall write Those happy soeues when far awa" Once more lie bid adieu to his native land and turned his face toward the wild regions of the northwest coast of America, reaching Vancouver in ltsu. He was immediately appointed to suc ceed Mr. Dlack, who had been shot by an Indian at Kamloop. In tho spring of 1842 ho was again bclected to .suc ceed another ollicer who had been murdered at Fort .Stikine. and in 181-1 ho was appointed to the command of ;sew uaieaonm titstnct; where ho con tinued as executive officer to direct its afl'jirs until the spring of 18o7, when he resigned his commission and left the company to whoso service ho had devoted the best energies of his youth and mature manhood for a continuous period of more than forty years. During a visit which he made to tho Willamette valley soon after his resig nation wns accepted, ho purchased from the late Dr. Newell his donation claim, situated at Champoeg. Marion county, to which he removed his fami ly in 1858, and upon which he now re sides. Mr. IfunoDi in pereoo, is Above tbe medium height, straight ns an arrow. His hair, under the snow of 7i winters is as white as the fro-ty pow.s of St. Helen and Hood. Mr. Man-on is n member of the Oregon Pioneer Association. The question as to who is the earlie.-t pio neer now living within, the limits of tho original Territory of Oregon hav ing heretofoie been ili-eussed through tho medium of the pros-, that distinc tion, 1 believe, was decided by those who engaged in that discu-sion, in fa vor of Hon. Solomon II. Smith, of Clatsop plains, who, like Mr. Miuison, camo to tbe Territory under tho nus pices of a Fur-Trading Co., Capt. Wi eth. Mr. Smith is a native of Lebanon, New Hampshire, born Dec. 20th, ISO!!, and arrived in Oregon, Oct. SlKh, IS'" Owing to the facts nbovo stated, it is deemed proper at the present juncture, in vindication of the truth of history, to give to tin public the nliovo synop tical sketch. WiiiT.uiD II. Ri:i:s. Rutteville.Feb., 187G. Orcijoniun. An Unfortunate Set of Men. When the doors of the Senate wure clo-etl on Thursday in executive busi ness ti lively and interesting di-cussion, which was entirely unanticipated, sprung up. Mr. Hamlin, who has been in tho Senate on and olf for a full generation, is a great stickler for traditionary cus toms, lie complained that a custom was growing up by which unprivileged per-ons were constantly gaining access to the iloor of the Senate, crowding the sofas and chairsand the retiring rooms, aud interfering with the comfort of .Senators, until, he -aid, "we are got ting as had a- that mob at the other end of trV? Capitol." He lectured the youthful I'ro-identpro tern., Mr. Ferry, very severely, and said he was re- -Vonsible in idmitting people to the iloor who had no right there; that ho should not be assuming prerogatives which did not attach to him. Mr. Ferry demurely responded that lie had only followed the precedent set him by former occupants of the chair. Other Senators followed, and -aid they were persecuted to tho verge of distractiou by bummers and ollice huntcrs, male anil female; that many of theso people pursued them even into the Senate chamber, and if they de sired to put their noses outside they were surrounded and badgered so that they did not know where to turn. Mr. Conkling said that recently he had taked account one day of the num ber of cards brought to him, and had ascertained that if ho responded it would have given him just about flvo minutes of the whole day's session. Gen. Rausom, whose seat is near one of the doors, said that he was made a messenger of; that men and women poked their heads in at the door and asked him to call this or that Senator. Mr. Conkiinz referred to the fact that the late Senator Sumner 'made It an imperative rule to refuse to see visitors while he wai engaged in offi cial duties. When n card was brought to him, no matter whose name was on it, his invariable reply was, "tell him (or her) the Senate is in session." Senator Cameron remarked that he was much less annoyed by the visitors and the cards than lie was by the blath erskite speeches of Senators. Finally, on motion of Mr. Merrlmon, tho Committee on Rules were Instruct ed to prepare a rule which will pro hibit the annoyance lo Senators, occa sioned by the sending of visiting cards while the Senate is in session. Tho re- coption room of the Senate is crowded during the whole day with persons X1. -A..

It serms to lie the common belief that theie is no limit to the natural age of apple trees. Rut this N certainly a mistake. We all know that the peach tree fails to be protltable at 12 to l't years of age, mid the cherry nod the plum average only 20 to tit) years; the iiear, iu favorable clrcnm Btances, to to Ot) ye.tr in rare cases a mucli longer liuw. Ho, also, the apple tree has it.s natural limit, and, although, like man's life, the duration of the period of health aud vigor varies great ly according to constitution, nurture, cJi mate, etc., it.s approaching termina tion is clearly imlicited by feigns of debility and di-e.we. On very deep and favorable soils, and whero trees are not damaged by tho severity of climate, apple orchards are found hear ing fair crops of fruit at 70 to 101) years of uge, but these are nearly as roro us for their owners to live so long. Very few farms have soil of tho tx-st kind for an orchard, and evcrywhero our climate is either too warm, or at times too cold, for the health of tho trees. Injury by ,-evero cold, blackening all tho wood, except as new growth is formed, I am convinced Is a very com mon cause of tho failure of orchards; hut starvation, in consequence of ex haustion nf tho soil, is still more com mon, and this is a mnrcditlicuit mutter to remedy than most people suppose, especially when trees have attained full bearing size. "Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high," is u corruption of the s lying, "Everything is lovely and the goose honks high." Tho honk is the note sounded by the wild goose in its llights, aud Is about tho only music In which that graceful bird Indulges.
