Rainfall would 1 very acceptable in mis section to tne growing grain as well as improve the dusty condition of our streets which are badly cut up; es pecially bctwcefi here and Crawfords- ville, from which plax; teams arc daily hauling lumber- A. J. AdaVns, John Senger and Cap. Von Hagon, returned, over the Cala pooia trail on Friday last from the mines situated on the divide; they brought some fair samples of gold bear iug quartz taken from their claim, and seem sanguine that they have struck the precious metal in paying quanti ties. A horse attached to a road cart, the property of L. Hasbrook, becoming frightened at the waer from the street hydrant, broke the hitching strap by which it was fastened in front of the Willson hotel, and being a "flyer" dashed off at a "iO'' gait fir home, where it arrived in q-ufck time, "right side up with tare." O.i Sunday afternoon the "thunde'r heads" which, during the day had col lected in the southeast giving promise of raifl, aamcd gigantic proportion, and r.s evening approached, accompan ied by heavy thunder and vivid flash, s of lightning, worked its way along the Calapooia range south of town, obscur ing the sky and presenting a pancraivr seldom seen in this locality. The storm was of short duration , passing off to the southwest, no rain falling in the near vicinity of town. Handshaking h the "order oT the day," to a person ntk posted, the many inquiries oi "bow's your health," fam ily well, would seem to indicate an im mense amount of good feeling exhibited on our streets, and so we hope it is, but in reality to come down to the solid "Simon pure" quinteseuce of the bus iness, it means, how do you vote? and who will drrw a blank or make a win ning when the political wheel is sent a whirling on the fourth day of June; "well" fcluion saj-s '-thumbs up," and Simon says "thumbs down."

Having sold my stove and tinware business to Swan Bros., late of Kansas, I take this method of thanking the people of Lebanon and vicinity for their kind and liberal patronage they have extended to me while engaged in business in Lebanon, and that the same be extended to my successors who are men of good business qualifi cations and perfectly reliable, and who will always be ready and Milling to give their customers as good prices and as goad goodas can be purchased any where on this northwest copst.
