Parsons, of Damascus, has pea vines which rise to the height of nine and a half feet in the naked air. Crops in this vicinity are looking re markubly well, and a large yield is ex ected. The average yield of wheat will oe altout thirty bushels to the acre. Germans are moving into this part of the eounty in large numbers buying and taking up government land. Mr. C. Ford and Win.

The Christian Church has services twice a month, with Rev. Mr. Rich as pastor. This gentleman has had charge of the Church for about two years, and his ctli eient labors have been rewarded by about twenty conversions.

Church and children, of your city, were visiting Mr. James Winston last week. The directors of this district have let the contract for the new schoo' house to David Lieiitz for $750. We regret that thev have located it near the site of the old one as it will be considerably out of the way for the majority of the children in the neighliorhood. Divine service is held at the Union school house every Sunday. Happy Joe Black's parlor troupe and C. M. Jones' panorama favored us with per formances a few weeks ago. The parlor troue had a $15 house, and was a fair show ; the panorama was decidedly of the bilking order, and we are glad to say it extracted only $-t from the pockets of our farmers. . Damascus Lodge No. 120 is in a flour ishing condition, and has initiated four new members during the past quarter. The election of officers for the ensuing term will be held next Saturday evening. The L.odge meets at the Union school house. W. R, Wade is making some additions to his house, and rumor has it that one of our fairest young ladies, will soon join her fortunes with Rob's. The farmers of this vicinity complain of the manner in which they are treated by the dealers in agricultural implement at Portland. Last week Mr. James Winston bought a hav rake of on of the principal dealers, aiuf after bringing it home found that he had two shafts for the same side, and he was obliged to go to Portland to have it changed. Even then his troubl-s were not at an end, for the shaft would not work and he was obliged to go to the blacksmith and have it fixed. Three days time lost by the cussed ness of these deal ers is what makes our farmers swear. Several of our young men seem deter mined to get Wiser, and we shall not be surprised at any time to see their names in our excellent county pajer, under the head of "Gone and done it," which means, in the language of "We'iins," having the knot tied. Look out for large chunks of cake, etc. The young folks of this community as semble at the school house every Sunday afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock, to indulge in singing, with Mr. Frank Osliorne as teach er. Don't think we are an immoral crowd here, ihey only sing sacred music. F. LlfMAUILDER. Mt. Pleasant, July 10th, 1877. Editor: Some time has elapsed I have written to you, and 1 hope Mr since you will not feel that I am claiming too much of .your time for our neighborhood. For the past few weeks all of the farm ers seem to have been very busy, prepara tory to the coming harvest , your corres pondent leing one of that number. The only recreation being base ball, the Harvester" M. B.C. played the Clackamas club on last Saturday, and were, we regret tosiy, beaten more' than f wo to one; the score standing Clackamas 3S, Harverter 32. After the game was over several of us -lderlv gentlemen tried to get the Har vesters to nlav us a game, nut they de clined on the plea that they would beat us too bad. The only excuse our boys have for their defeat is, the "'lameness .of their pitcher, Mr. Carter, whom they claim as their best player, and bad playing on the part of all. The game passed off verv pleasantly, although once or twice we saw a frown r utile the usually smooth and placid brows of several of the players. The boys claim that if they .can't beat the Clackamas club "plaving b ill, they got away with U:em at the table. The only thing lacking. Mr. Editor, was your smil ing phiz. Well, boys, ' better luck next time. Crop usually look well, although those win sowed white winter wheat in March declare that it is a traud. Capt. Appersoti. who purchased a tract of land containing 16 acres, expects to commence grubbing it this week, and bv fall expects to have it in wheat.

Our regular correspondent from Hol- comb's neighborhood sends us the follow ing items, under date of July IS: On the 12th inst. the w-ife of Win. Potter presented him with a' fine babv-girl. He is as happy as a clam at hisih tide. Several fields of wheat are rije enough to cut. Low picket fences are good to kill horses with. There was one killed in this neigh borhood bv this means recently. The hav crop is. rapidly being stowed away in the barns.- Fish Commissioner. Prof. Livinsrstono .Stone, U. S. Fish Commissioner, who was invited to this coast by the Columbia river fishermen, has been in this vicinity for several days past.- He has examined the streams flowinginto the Columbia, ai:d has arrived at the conclusion that the Clackamas riyer is a great deal better adapted to breeding purposes than any of them, me projectors ot mis scheme nave objected to this locatioii.allegSnir that only "steel heads." ascend the Clackamas. Prof. Stone has caught, several tine taimon out of this stream and sent them to the inter ested nartles, which will prove that we can catch as liue tish here as they do even on tbe ColumlMa. The commissioner is highly pleased with our leaiitiful stream, praising its natural advantages ior iioii orooagatioo-iu the most ici-wing terms. ami ho will endeavor to persuade the fish ermen to have the breediug cages located in the Clackamas. Since the above has been placed in type, we are informed that Prof. Ktone has re ceived a telegram frni the president of the Columbia River Fishermen s Associa tion authorizing him to locate the tish breeding cages on the CIaeiaias if he thinks it is the most favorable situa tion. We understand that operations will jo eummeiieea next wees. I-.ETTKR List. Letters remaining in the Postoftice, at Oregon City, Clackamas Co., Orego. July 19th, 1S77: Armstrong. John. Ough, Renj. 2.

The Clackamas club will go toIIubbard next Saturday to play tha second game of a series with the Marions. A number of the first nine will be unable to participate, but we feel confident of victory, notwith standing. Chin musicwon't win, and if Jos.

What the Billons Require. Since torpidity of tbe liver is the chief cause of Its disorder, it Is evident that what the bil ious require is an alterative stimulant which will arouse it to activity, an effect that is fol lowed by the disappearance of the various svmptoms irldicative of its derangement. Hostetter's Stotnah Bitters invariably achieve the primary result mentioned, besides re moving the constipation,- flatulence, heart burn, yellowness of the skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the right side and under the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick head ache, to which bl ious invalids are peculiarlv subject. As a remedy for chronic indigestion, mental Uispondedcy and nervousness the Bit ters are equally efficacious, and as a renovant of lost vigor, a means of arresting premature decay, and a source of relief from the infirmi ties to which the gentler sex is peculiarly sub ject, they may be thoroughly relied upon.

Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour Stom ach, Heart Burn, palpitation of the Heart, lepress"d Spirits, Biliousness, etc., can take Green's August Flower without getting re lief and cure. If you doubt this, go to Ward &. Harding and get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Hegular slxe 75 cents. Two doses will relieve you. If you wish to seci re bargains you. had better call at Ackerman" Bros., while t hey are selling out. at San Francisco cost. The stock must be cleared out. From S. Thatcher, M. 13. , of Ilcrmon, N.

Seven years ago, the past spring, I had a severe attack of Diptheria which left my limbs para'yzed and useless, so I was un able to walk or even sit. up. Noticing the ad vertisement of Pkruvian Syrup, I concluded to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon found my health imi roving. I continued tbe use of the SYRCP until three bottles had been used, and was restored to complete health, and have remained so to thisday.
