Coutity Court meets on Monday next and the Commissioners court on the Wednesday following. Wo un derstand considerable business will necessarily have to bo transacted at this regular term. A Corporation has been formed in Portland for the purpose of purchasing the Daily Standard and equipping it for a better paper. The Standard is a good paper but has never been a very remunerative one. Times arc most fearfully dull over at La Grande. We don't understand how it is, but we got the news from one of her business men. Well, who'd have thought that, when Union is as lively as trout catching grasshoppers. The Union County Agricultural So ciety will bold its fair, commencing Sept. 28th. and continueing six days. An excellent programmo has been prepared, and the managers expect to mako it far the best meeting held by the Association. There should be an ordinance passed by the common council, requiring thistles growing in the streets, to be cut down by the adjacent property owners, In some of the streets in the northern part of town, they have be come a perfect nuisance. Tho Band of Hope had a picnic on Tuesday last. Tho time was spent in amusing games, and talks from the older members, after which they re galed tbomsehes. with a genuine old fashioned picnic dinner. It was an enjoyable affair for the children. Daniel Church, ot Eugene city, was found dead in Mohawk valley, some ten miles from Eugene, with a bullet hole in his back.

John Griffin, an old and respected citizen of Baker county, was fatally in jured at tho Itockeyfcllow & . Foster mine, in this county; last week. He was at work in tho shaft, When an as cending bucket filled with ore, fell back into the shaft, crushing his skull badly. Considerable street improvement is being mado by commissioner Eaton, much to the advantage of our city. The creek passing just north of Jo W. Shelton's residence, has been turned into a ditch and run under tho sido walk along the street, aild tho slotigh will bo filled up. It is rumored that several applicants for the Union post-oflico are' quietly working for tho inns. We bejiovo the present incumboilt gives satisfaction to tho public generally, but that makes no difference to thoso Who do sire a closer acquaintance with Uncle Sum's method of doing business. Mr C. W. Lonharl, one of -tho mill ers at tho Union mills, got his fingers caught in the coggs of a wheel and had them considerably la'-eiated, a few dua go.

The excitement still continues and more is daily added ns new, and if possible, still richer ledges are reported found. The pros pects of the mines where shafts have Iwcn sunk, increase In value, in all the ledges so worked, It is expected that a quartz mill will soon be in full operation. Capitalists are arriving every day from all parts of the United States, and are amazed at the rich ness and extent of the ledges. The candid opinion of all who have visited the mines, is that it could scarcely be possible for rock to bo richer than that of these ledges. Several transfers of mines are reported. Hc-ides the quartz ledges there is every in dication that rich placer diggings will be found, that will well pay the hardy miner for his toil. The Pine and Kaglo Creek Placer Mining Co's. mine is being devel oped with every indication of favorable re sults. They have stripped fiTO feet, and are sanguine that they will bo well remu nerated for their labor. C. II. Prcscott brought in from the mines a few days ago a piece of ore which seemed to be more gold than rock. W'c learn from Mr. Ilardcsty that the rock is not free milling, as has heretofore been stated, but rather rebellious. Mr. Fitch, of the law (inn Of Fitch, Shel ton Si Ilardcsty, of this city, lifts purchased a lot in Lower Cornucopia, and is erecting a building thereon, Dr. Ilex, of Portland, is in tho mines, testing ores of the diUcront ledges. Mr. lllumaucr returned to Portland, a few days ago, having purchased an interest in some of the mines. Tlios. Fitch, .1. W. Shelton, and Jesse Ilardcsty, of this city, have purchased an interest in the mines. The prospects of all the ledges thus far, continue to increase in richness and ex tent. The Itcd Jacket is now down (53 ft; the Allen A Cox 6d ft. ; Itcd I5oy 15 ft; Key stone 00 ft; the Whitman and the Drifter 2oft. A new ledge has just been discovered, called the Silver Bell; It is said to be the richest of any yet found. It is believed by some, however, to be an extension of the Itcd Jacket, though not yet definitely known. Mr. Chapman, an old mining expert, cor roborates the statement or other experts, that the mineral belt of the I'iuo and Ea gle ercelc, including the Hogcm section, is probably the richest in the world, out rivaling llutte in wealth. There are about two hundred ledges in all, located, about fifty of which arc boing worked. Tho Companion and the Union arc down 50 feet, and assay at that depth $000. Almost too Lntu. Wo learn trom the Wallowa Chieftain that U. J,. Jeffrey, formerly of the Mountain Sentinel, was found at Thompson's old cabin, on the Imnaha. about 30 miles from Joeph, by I'M. Holmes, in a starving and helpless condition. Mr. Jeli'rey hail started from Joseph, on foot, sonic ten days pre vious, to go alolic over the trail to the Pine Creek mines, a distance of about '22 miles, but being unacquainted with tho moun tains, had become lost, and wandered around until he found the eiibin, Where he lay himself down to die. It was almost too late. Jeff, ran run a newspaper better than he can llnd mountain trails. J. L. Albcrson will pay tho highest market price, cash, for wheat, oats and barley.

A rtnln Statement of fact si To tiik People ok Hdkuk and Union Corx- Tir.s: There was organized in Paker City on AuL'iist iWth an Immigration Society Its object is to gather information of every kind concering the resources of llaker mm Union counties and cause the same to Do published in the East. Arrailgments ui'l also be made to have an exhibit of agricul tural and mineral specimens lu soino of the central points in tho older States. We trust the people will take tho trouuic to forward to the Secretary all matters of in fnroxt. tnirctbnr with such sncciiliciis, either agricultural or mineral, as may be worthy of exhibition. Send your name with each specimen. It mav seem to some that such an or ganization is unnecessary, in view ol the fact that the. last l.euislaturo appropriated $10,000 to aid a State Hoard of Immigration in regard to the resoures of Oregon. In paying this sum linker and Union counties pay their full proportion, lis they are now among tho lirst on the list of taxation. Hut it isu fact that tho State Hoard is ex tending its influence solely for the benefit of Southern Oregon and Willamette Valley, and !f we expect to derive advantage lroin immigration we must rely upon our own efforts. Wo do not wish tt dbtrnct from the mreitsof those portions of our State which seem to tho State Hoard to consti tute Oitl'oii. His triii! that in the matter of rain. fog. mud, rust, ague, nsthmii, con sumption, catarrh, typhoid fever, inort gages and bankrupt sales, the Willamette Valley exceeds tins country; but for sub limity of climate, richness, of soil, diversi ties of hiduntries, froedom from, disease, scarcity of mortgages, and general pros perity of Unpeople, wo certainly can just ly claim superiority. Kotwitliotandlng the fact that the lead ing papers of Portland will nay hut littlo about it, and the State Hoard to an immi grant never, our mineral resources are so L'rent and tho amount of bullion taken from our mines so regular mid valuable that we are not at the mercy of a Scotch loan company, or any other money loan ing instution, whose extortions compelled the enactment of the -'mortgage tax" law.
