Every arrangement has been made for a grand celebration of the Fourth of July at the Clackamas 1. B. Grouuds, in this' city. Those who have the celebration in charge have been untiring in their efforts to have everything arranged for the occa sion, and the programme and talent which they have secured for the day speaks well for their energy and management. The Aurora band, the very best in the State, has be n engaged to furnish the music during the day.and for the dance at Pone's Hall in the evening, and this of itself will be sufficient attraction to bring a large number from other . places.

Owing to inclemency of tho weather the Hubbard base ballists failed to come to time last Saturday, but we are informed that they will be on hand next Sat urday, and a lively game may be expected. Our boys are putting in considerable time practicing, uml feel quite confident of getting away with their opnciits. We have no objections to their doing so. The Victoria and Seattle base ballists will play their level best on the 4ih of July, at Seattle, for a handsome bat, made of curled maple, tipped and ornamented with solid silver. Portland claims to have the best base ball players in the State. Just wait until our lys get a show at them and then they will quit Wagging. The St. Jjouis club hold the first place in the United States, and the Bostons second. We won't vouch for the Hubbard base ballists being here Saturday. That's what we did last week, and several persons came in from tin country and didn't see anything of them. They didn't hurt us, but we don't like to be cussed. The Vancouver club has declined to play a match game of base ball on the Fourth, as some of their players would not oe able to participate, and our boys must look in some other direction for an opponent. (Jood News for f lie t-'armcr. We were entertained l3r a visit from Mr. E. B. Lewellyn on Friday last, and as he is one of the most progressive and intelli gent farmers in our county, agriculture ( always a delightful and entertaining sub ject with us) was the chief subject of our conversation. Among other things Mr. Ij mentioned, was cne that we believe will be of benefit to all who may see this, if they make use of the information. It is a fact only too well known that the pea crop, one of the most raying ones a far mer can raise, is otten a failure because of the number of bugs w ith which the seed is infested, injuring the crop. Mr. Ij. has discovered a sinecure for these pests. He says all that is necessary is to keen the seed over till the second year before sow- ing. Bv that time the insects are all dead. The seed will be as good as if sowed the year before, and you are the gainer by being just minus the bugs. Gentlemen, try it. Temperance Meeting. meeting of the Oregon City Temper ance Association was held in the M. E. Church on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There being but few present, in conse quence of Mr. Baker's address at the Hap- tisl Association, the meeting was adiom ti ed to meet at the M. E. Church on Friday evening, June 20, at S o'clock. .1.

It is ex-wcted that from two to three thousand persons will be on the grounds. No Quorum. The special meeting of the Citv Council called for last Monday evening, failed to have a quorum, and sev eral of the saloon keepers who had applied for licenses will ie loroeu to close shop or run without licenses until next Monday evening, the regular monthly meeting. The reason for a failure of a quorum to be present was on account of the temperance proclivities of some of the memlers of the Council, who declared they would not at a special meeting for the sole purose of granting licenses to me saloons. Western Part of the County. Mr. John Boston, one of the substantial farm ers of Clackamas county, who resides near Bntteville. favored us with a call last Mondav. lie reports crops looking well. aod prospers good for a large yield.

Some grand heroic transaction that would dispel the apparent lethargy into which this community has fallen. But alas! most deplorable and unrewarded has been our vigil. Damascus! "thou art but the ghost of thy former self." Once it was tiiv de light to entertain the talented from afar; to hold communion with the "wise men . of the East" and West; to forward and i improve the oratorical, as well as the or-i thodoxical, element in thy midst. Now,! no more rings forth the stentorian voice of the "A'phabctical" Dunbar, the gentle whisper of the "Grove" is hushed, and ; silence reigns supreme, where once its verdant life beheld tho passing scene. But j thou art still "Rich" in thv Divine Grace, j guaranteed, every Sunday, through the 1 nercuiean enorls of thy Salvation Suppli ers. Were this otherwise, then likewise would be your retrograding fame, and the vanishing glory that now threatens to en tirely disappear would once more assume its wonted brilliancy. Eife, jollity, good will and kind feelings to all would take ; the pla;e that is now held by their oppo- site. Then once again could all be happy ; ! none would pause or hesit ite when inter viewed by "Uncle Jim," and the liquida tion of his just demands would create a pleasure that has often been felt and en joyed by We'uns.

The June report of the Department of Agriculture indicates a better pros pect than usual for wheat. California averages 50, Oregon 1C9. Returns from California indicate half of a full crop from a deficiency of a winter rain fall. The report of June, 187G, made the average for the country .13 per centnm below standard of the normal condition, and the yield was still lower, forcastiug the scarcity which has oc curred. The average for winter and spring wheat together Miis yezr is 100. Tho State averages are as follows: Maine 101, New Hampshire 102, Ver mont 102, Massachusetts 100, Rhode Island 100.

New Yoiuc, Juno 2i. The Tribunes Washington special says the President's order, as interpreted by the Cabinet officers, is that the order is intended to prohibit any connection whatever with any of the various yards, township, county, State or national organfzations for conducting political campaigns, and debars the officeholder from acting as a delegate to political conventions. The only part officeholders will be allowed to take in political affairs will be voting, speaking, and writing for the press. It i.s doubtf'il whether an official will be allowed to leave his office to run i'-elf, however, while he takes the stump fur his parly, as many have done heretofore. The order is expected to provoke strong opposition " from the wholo body of working Republican politicians through out tin- country, and will no doubt be sharply criticised when Congress meets by both houses. Southern Republicans are particularly troubled about the new departure. They say the party organ ization cannot be maintained in any part of tho country without Federal officeholders. In many sections the only efficient workers the party possess es av-3 postmasters, deputy marshals and revenue officials. If they cease their labors the party will go to pieces. London. June 25. A special from Bucharest estimates that 11.000 Rus sians crossed at Galats at Ibrail. It appears that the Turks made an attempt to cross from Lompolauka into Little Wallachia; details unknown. The successful attempt of the siar.s to cross near Rutsehuk has followed by a severe battle on the ube, in which Turkish gunboats taken active part. The towa of Rus been Dan have Giur- gevo, opposite Rtitsclink, occupied by Russians, has been s. t on lire by Turk ish shells. Heavy firing still going on. Commenting on the correspondence between Gorts bakofl'and Dei by, pub lished Saturday, the Time says: Frank ness has been met by frankness, and the result is the conviction that the war for which wo may hope the speed iest termination ought not to endanger the good relations between England and Russia. The English cabinet has, after due deliberation, disapproved Gortscha koiTs declaration as to Russia's policy in the Eastern war, and the English government has resolved not to allow even a temporary occupation of Con stantinople by Russians. About 70 persons of a sect who be lieve that Christ is reappearing in the person of a little son of W. W. Davis, now four years of age, have congre gated near Walla Walla, and others are coming to join them. But little is known of the sect, as they live in a lot of houses bailt close together, and are not very neighborly with the settlers around them. They are fit subjects for a lunatic asylum. C". X.
