Prof. Hen Childers is in town, on hi way to Gervais where he teaches this year. Mr. ami Mrs. C. E. Shipley and ife drove over from Oswego yester day to attend the fair.

Miller who for several years wore the green sash of superinten dent of the pavilion, and who te president of the old agricultural ooclety, is at the fair. Miss Hallie Parrish writes from Massachusetts that it is so cool there that she is already wearing her furs morning and evening. This is rather a contrast to Oregon, where a man is comfortable in his shirt sleeves all day long. 1'lcuant Affair. Last evening, after the adjourn ment of Sedgwick Post Xo. 10 and the W. It. C. Corps, the members met at the residence of Prof. Z. M. l'arvin, from whence they marched in couples to the residence of D. W. Matthews, under the leadership of Mr. Henry Rogers. Mr. Matthews being absent, the visitors surprised the family, and took complete pos sesion of the premises. That gen tleman, however, soon afterward ar rived at home, but gracefully sur surrendcred to the authority in pos session. After several hours spent in pleasant converse, Mrs. Matthews' lovely daughters threw open the diulng hall doors, and the invaders were invited to partake of the re freshments spread before them. Old soldiers know how to do that thing elllciently, and generally their wives are very good assistants. At a late hour the retreat was sounded, and the conquerors went on their way rejoicing, while Mr. Matthews had been thus publicly reminded that Sept. 18th was his birthday. TJhe lad ies of the Relief Corps nre entitled to the credit of getting up this pleasant surprise. Drer and to Sparc. W. IJ.

They killed twenty-six deer, carefully drying every pound that they did not use fresh, even to the tongues. They could have killed fifty, Just as easily, but they were too good sports men to slay one more than they could utilize. Mr. Prettyman showed the writer some mighty interesting looking gold that he had pounded out of rotten quartz while prospecting on the trip. m Tie 1 Titrc The Democrat says that Messrs. Cm-ran &. Montelth have backed down in their offer to wager f 1,000 on Harrison. Mr. Montelth states that this is wholly Incorrect, as the $1,000 in cold hard cash remains lit their safe awaiting any one who desires to cover it with the money, but it will not be put up against any such paper as Ike Hyman, of San Francisco, put up aud uftenvurds drew down.

She was taken to the ladles dressing room and a cab sent for which conveyed her home. I). D. Prettyman who has charge of tho floral department says a dog among those pots of choice flowers is like "a bull in a china shop," apt to overturn and destroy the growth of several seasous.

An extended description of tho city of Woodburn nppenrcd In the Capital Journal last June, but as considerable Improvement has been going on duriug the summer, a short review of the town would not be cut of place at this time. Woodburn is an unincorporated town, situated in the northern portion of French Prairie, about seventeen miles from Salem, and at the cross roads of the Oregon and California railroad and the Orcgon- lan railway. The population of Woodburn is estimated at over four hundred souN. It is ono of the healthiest locations in the state, nnd poseses advantages that will ultimately make it one of tho lead ing cities of the Willamette valley. It Is already attracting considerable attention from parties visiting this portion of the state from tho east. Eight trains pass through the town dally and as parties transferring from one railroad to tho other stop over for over an hour, ample time is allowed them to walk over tho town, and a careful Inspection Is sure to result favorably. TIIK WOOD11UKN CANNKKY Is running at its full capacity and turning out tho finest lot of canned fruits we have seen on the coast. Thoy have put up over 1,500 cans of pears and an immense quantity of plums, gooseberries, blackberries, tomatoes, strawberries, crab apples, beans, and are at present putting up corn at the rate of fifty bushels per day. Messrs. Heiulow & Hall have received a patent green corn cutter from Portland, Maine, and are inoro than pleased with tho work done by the machine, it being the only one on the coast.

The nursery at present covers an areaof nearly onehundrcd acres, and comprises all tlio dlficrout varieties of fruit, shade aud orna mental trees, shrubs and plants of all descriptions, and everything else ever found In a nun-cry. Several men have- been busily engaged for the past few weeks budding young trees, and will bo employed during the winter grafting. People con templating setting out orchards this fall will do well by writing to Mr. Scttlemier for Information and prices. NAHUOW OAIK1K, The Oregonlan Railway Company have commenced, at last, to repair their roadbed. Tho track was some- thno ago condemned, and Receiver Scott came to the conclusion that ho had better have some work dono.

Two saw mills have been erected near town on Pudding rlvor, and arc at preeout sawing bridge timbers and ties. Tills Is something that should have been done long ago, but "better late than never."
