to assist in his pcarch for Frank Ilernard,
tho alleged murderer of Mrs. Haccr,
visited tho thcatro at that placo on Sat- (
uruay niglit last, wlicte ho immediately
detected aud caused the arrest of tho
fugitive. Marshal Thorndyko approach
ing Bcrnatd, said, "Is your name Frank
Bernard, of Portland "" "It is." ho re-
plied. Tlien you are my prisoner,
said tho marshal. "For what!" asked
Bernard. Tho marshal hesitating, Ber
nard said : "I know what for; I know
nli about it, so that don't matter. Damn
them; if I go over thcro I'll show them
what I am. I will learn somo of them

Barnard is n young man of rather pre
possessing appearance, clean shaved, and
evidently about 25 years of ngc. Ho de
clares, however, that ho is hot yet 19,
nnd a step-son of Mr. Pulsky, of Van
couver. I lo had lived in Oregon several
years, and was in Salem, Oregon, somo
timo in February; left thcro in company
with James King, for Portland, and don t
remember tho date; had not a cent nnd
walked all tho way; did not tell parties
in Portland ho was going to have a raiso
in a week if it cost blood; left Portland
for Oregon City a fow days after. Tho
captain of tho steamer McCully gavo
King 'and him passes; went to Oregon
City with King to sco his wife; returned
to Portland on foot; don't remember
tho date; didn't have u cent all this
time; got to Portland mid went to Chat
tin, president of tho Y. M. C. A., and
told him ho was tired of doing wrong
and wanted to get out of Portland nnd
go to work and get an honest living; ho
gao him n pass to Vancouver; left
Portland tho next dny, February 24th;
from Vancouver ho walked to Olynipta,
got u pasa down to Scattlo and went to
work as pantryman in tho Occidental
Hotel there; went to work nbout
March 1st; never heard a word about
tho linger murder till ho heard a
man speak about it in tho Occi
dental Hotel two weeks ago ;
never knew thcro was a family iu Ore
gon by tlio namo of Hagcr; hopo God
would stnko him dead if ho ever thought
of committing such an nwful crime; rend
a piceo last Thursday saying that Jim
King had said that no murdered Mrs.
linger, and was going to write over lo
Portland Sundny aud tell them ho was
here. The man Fnirchild, who is also
charged with complicity in tho murder,
at last accounts, had'also been shadowed,
aud probably cro this has been arrested.
Bernard has since admitted to tho city
marshal that, although ho had nothing
to do with tho murder of Mrs. linger,
ho could tell them something about it if
necessary.

Y. 1'. A. writes to the Albany Itcgisttras
follows:
Ijmm Coujty, Or., April f, 167!'.
I raw in tho Itcgutcr of March 21st, under
tlio heading of "Suggestions from a Farmer,"
ait articlo which contained tonic good t.ug
gostioi's. In conjunction with Furmir I
would bo glad to sco every farming implement
and machine used hero manufactured iu our
joungr.nd grouiugStato. fanner says tint
tho faimcrnaro to blamo for tho hard times.
I go further and assert that all laboring men
nro to blamo for tho hard times. Don't you
Know, Mr. Fanner, that so Ion us interest on
money is higher than any farmer or manufac
turer can mul.o from his farm or machiuu shop
wo will havo hard times! As farmers, wo can
not inatto moro than four per cent, on tlio
product of our farms, whilotl.u law of tho
Ktato allows twtho percent, interest to ho
chargvd. Now, f you hiro ouo hundred dol
lars r.t twelvo per cent, ono year, jou will
Imvu to ios3CJ3 threo hundred dollars' worth
of farm property to pay for tho uso of thu ono
hundrod dollar.! that ou hao hired, and you
aro bound to coma out behind on your interest
acsount. And it is juit tho samo with tho
laboring man and all legitunato enterprise.
As long tut a iniut can make as much out of
ono hundred dollars in cash through loaning
it as ho can by tho investment of threo hun
dred dollar iu fann property, ho will not in
vest his cash in agricultural pursuits cr ii
manufactures, but continue to loan. Thus
tho farming interests, tlio building of manu
factory, and all other interests of public
utility aio retarded, because the capitalist
will not invcit in enterprises that do not
promiso to pay at least as much as "legal in
tcrcl" twelve per cent, per annum. Tho
interests of tho mechanic, laboring man aud
tho farmer aro identical iu this matter; an I
they should work together to iflect an nn
mediat'i and radical changs a chango that
will bo productive of universal good.
Further, .Mr. Farmer advised tho cultiva
tion of a vancty of crops that we should not
place our total dependence in wheat. This,
too, is good advice. My own experience
proves it. Last spring I sowed a few ncres
oflintf'.aT, following in tho fall by sowing
tho samo ground in wheat, and novr I have
tho host prospect for a heavy yield of w boat
in that liold that I hav o had for years. I
iutend ta tow a fow acre of lint llax this
spring, fur 1 am satifcuod it will pay I am
in favor of a diversity of orous. because I
believe it is better for tho ground and hotter
for the fsimer'a ockot.

Editor Willamette Farmer!
Tho following correspondence is copied f rem
the Christian Union of March 10th, 1870. in
regard to tho hardiness, etc., of this now and
popular fruit. I beliovu Oregon to bo well
adapted in climate to tho growth nnd ripen
ing of the persimmon, nnd I would odviso tho
plautcrs of trees in various scctious of tlio
State to set out a fow trees for tnai, and as
they bear while Jet quite small, they will
soon show whether it will bo worth while- to
plant them in largo numbers or not. H. M.
"I do not agree with Mr. Coleman that wo
Jioor Northerners needn't cxiect to grow the
lapaneso persimmon, for tlio winter cold of
Japan is for a short reason m bitter as that of
Now York, as I havo experienced during seven
years' residence there. Tho fruit about the
end of July is not unlike a bright canary
colored conical shot hard, but sweet, and
with a roueh flavor not unlike that of an un
ripe medlar. At this stago it is a favorite
n.vii wuiiva, ttiiu ifimu iiu cub lb lis nu HJJI1U,
In August tho fruit is ripe. It is then tlio
sizo of a largo orotice, with a thin, semi-
transparent skin of red lead and sometimes
scarlet hue, filled with a delicious pulp, so
soft that it has to bo eaten with a spoon, liko
jelly, exceedingly sweet and of n flavor at
first mawkish, but which grows on ono liko
tlio habit of mango-eating. Kxccpt tho man
gostccn, I know no Fostern fmit so delicious.
I have seen this persimmon (kaki diospiros)
growing and bearing iu Kow Gardens, Kng
land, where It was sent by my friend Mr.
Kramer, tho botanist, selected by Sir Joseph
Hooker to accompany tho Knglish Knibassy
to Ycddo. While the kakl is in its toft state
it is dried on bamboo hurdles hi tho sun and
put up in fcoxes, liko Turkey figs, for winter
sale and export. They aro superior to tho
Utter, whether fresh or drieel, as a dessert
delicacy, but aro different in their medicinal
cficct, tho kaki acting as an astringent and
being liablo to produco constipation. I bo
