OREeoS APPLKs-The people of the Atlantic States
have heard good deal of what wonders are produced
In fugrowing on tie Pacific side OF our biz country
Yesterday we had ocular demonstration of the fact
that apples with old, familiar names, grow in Oregon
TO enormous sizes and great solidty-say double the
ordinary size. Joseph Hamilton went out to Oregon,
acroes the Plaius in lSi7 and settled ultimately in
Linn County, about 100 miles from Portland Here
he established a farm, aud in time began TO think Of
getting fruit in time. AZ first he planted seeds then
he procured scious, and grated the seedlings; and
now he has apples IN such abundance that he cannot
dispose of them because his ghbors also have them
and OF such excellence and size that Dominic sampson
might well cay; "Prodigious!"
Beng ON a vist 20 his isther in Iowa, he brought
with him few secimens, and called at THE
TRIBUNE Office to give sight of what that
State ia c'Iable Of producing. We measured a
few specimens. A Gloria Mundi Was los inches
In circumference, a Spanish Rsipnette Il inches,
a blue Winter Pearmsin IA inches. A Talpahockiog
often weighed them at home OF two pounds each
The market price Of applos in Portland three cents
pound for early Winter sorts, aud FIVE cents for late
sorts
Atvan Covers Island, when Mr.. Hamilton was
there few weeks since the common pine WIS fourteen
cent round lie regretted STAT he had not SAINT nis
own apples 70 ttt, market though it would cost about
three cent? pound " re, them TO Portland.
On the Pacific aide all SORTS Of fruit and most vegeta-
bles are sold by the pound IL il custom that should
prevail everywhere.
nr. Hamilton stated that his gratis at two years old,
onen proluce fruit and al three years quite abund
sntly. His oes have never had any extra stimulus,
sxeett good cultivation Of tie natural SOIL which
.tainly Is naturally productive Of very 6ne apples

FROM The Richmond Inquire Dee !
Within the last few days, occurrence took place
in one Of the Young ladies' schools of this city which
shows that even Yankee schOol-teachers, who come
South to make money cannot keep discreet tongue
in Their head Abolition is in them, and 1t Will gush
out ore way another.
In the case in point some Of the young lady scholars
were talking over the excitement Of Harpers Ferry,
and one or more Of them expressed opinion, say
inc. Old Brown ought to be hanged 20 The teacher
from down East who, understand, gave lessons in
nusic and French rebuked the young pupils for call
ing the Kansas murderer and robber, " Old Brown
and stated that they should name him AS :" Mr..
Brown that he was engaged in meritorious cause,
and was good and brave man, whose object was not
evil, &c.
Tie young daughters Of the South did not relish this
audaton OF the old sn-dyed rascal who would incite,
pay, and arm negroes TO maltreat or murder them
tLey made known the expressions of the Yankee
teacher to the Principal Of the Academy, who, after
investigating the matter Immediately DISCHARGED the
offending teacher. She made tracks for the North the
,ame evening, but WILL doubtless, make capital ont OF
the occurrence somewhere down in Maine or Massa-
cbusetts where every feminine, who is just able 70
spell "c-a-t," thinks she teach all Southern chill

SILVER MINK ~ THE ALLEGHEST.-For some days
We have beard that silver had been discovered

The 40 Indian God" aforesaid is q large and rather

that silver was 10 be found il. he accordingly
