Transit from Winter 10 Summer.

Transit from Winter 10 Summer.
A person cannot take ride over the
beautiful prairies of Thurston county with
ont being impressed with the consciousness
that, Notwithstanding "winter has fingered
in the lap Of spring." yet the green carpet
over which he treads assures him that veg
citation has been going on, and nature is
busy in putting forth abundant pasturage,
and shooting up the cereals and other pro-
ducts Of the husbandmam. The impover-
ished cattle and other stock of last winter
are filling up-recovering from their pros
tration, and are being made glad; the
spirits of the farmer are becoming more
bouyant, and at length the genial sun,
FSmiling through showers of rain and oeca,
sional sleet, gives promise of penetrating
the gloom of the past months, and driving
the storm cloud to bis native home.
Although we have had, strictly speak
ing. no spring at all this season, as com
pared to former years, yet the rapid
growth of vegetation, under such adverse
circumstances, is certainly strong urgu-
ment in favor of our climate, in connection
with the earth's productions.
This season reminds us of what we have
read of still more northern latitudes.-
We are that told that in the Arctic regi.
oGs, the winter terminates gradually sud-
denly, mild and warm weather supervenes,
and vegetation is then as rapidly devcl-
oped as in a hot-house. Such has been in
part our experience this season, although
up to this, the 10th day of May, winter
does not seem to have hidden us final
adieu.
The spring season throughout this terri
tory, and perhaps Oregon, this year, is
nearly or quite three weeks behind the
usual time, and it will take a long series
of warm days, intermixed with due pro-
portion of genial showers to bring up ar
rearages. Shonld the ripening of grain,
&c, be delayed as the warm weather has
been, the rains Of autumn will be apt to
do incOlcuIable damage.
When the sowing of grain and other
like spring work had usually been finished,
it was, this season, hardly begun. 1t is
now too late for the getting in of cereals,
but such crops of vegetables as grow rap
idly under the influence of warm suns
should not be neglected. but put into the
bosom of the earth in great abundance,
even at the risk of failure in their matu-
rity. Everything that can be raised will
be wanted and will command high and
sfBmunerativc price. Food for man and
provender for animals will doubtless be in
great demand next fall and winter and be
the harvests as abundant as they may,
prices will continue at high grade, and
farmers should therefore "plant, SOW and
NOV" all the ground they possibly can
Should the wheat harvest be deficient, as
there is reason to fear it will be, let amends
be made by the farmer, by drawing Iiber-
ally upon the vegetable world, and no suf-
tering or scarcity need be apprelfrnded.
II is true We have had a few days of very
pleasant, and many of fine growing wealth
er; yet zone swallow does not make u
summer" and the season may yet be yet
cold ard backward.

Tho Territorial Convention.

The next issue Of our paper will contain
the proceedings Of the Democratic Terri
torial Convention, and the name Of the
gentleman nominated as the candidate Of
the party for next Delegate to Congress.
Delegates to the convention have been
elected from every cOunty upon Puget
Sound, and We should not be at all sur
priscd u their votes alone, would give Gov.
StEvSSs majority In convention, without
the aid Of the Columbia river, the coast
or the interior counties. From present
indications We are inclined to the belief
that the latter counties win send in dele
cations equally friendly to the nomination
Of our late Delegate-instructed and 9th
erwise--and Il so, few Il auy votes will be
cast against him. We consider the nOmi-
nation now virtually made; and as to his
election. We apprehend that there are but
few IL any really intelligent, thinking men
IN the territory that for moment doubts

giving this confident expression TO our opin-
ion, bogeyer, We hope the members Of the
party will not Gud in it an excuse or apOl-
ogy iot apathy Or sopineness; on the con,

WEEDS PATENT
SEWING MACHINES

IIAVE gained the confidence Of all xho use
i them and have proved one OF the most yalu-
able inventions ef the age. They use Shuttle,
making the Lock Stitch on both sides Of the cloth
alike, which cannot be unravelsd or pulled out.
They are all made with the higest mechanical
skin and all warranted to work we'll on all kinds
of goods, from the Lightest Fabric to Heavy
Leather. In particular we would call attention to
our new Family Sewing Machine. 1t has been
manufactured expressly for Family Use, and has
met with favor from all. 1t is 80 simpiifed to
render II almost impossible to get out of order,
derange its operations; indeed 1t is so simple
to Astonish one that so small piece oil mechan-
ism will sew.
Below we give description of the different style
of the Weed Patent;
No. l. Ii very convenint style, which can be
worked by hand or foot, or of it's own table
For the convenience of shipping, and also for large
manufactures, where it is necessary TO place
number of machines into long bench, making one
table answer for all. Price 500.
No. 2 With Walnut or Mahogany Table, with
or without Box Top, which locks down. Price $10e
and $40.
No s. Same size as No. 2, but runs with belt
and at q much higher rate of Speed. This kind
ia well adapted to manufacturing Clothing or for
Leather work.
This is really the cheapest machine in the mar
ket, there is no work done on Sewing Machine
that it will not do. 1t is confidently asserted that
this machine runs easier than any machine now in
use. Price 500.
date large work. 1t runs at high rate Of speed,
runs easily and is, without doubt, the best Ma
chine for Tailors' offered to the public
/. Is peculiarly fitted for plantation work, being
very simple yet substantial and durable, with but
little liability to get out of order. Price $40.
No. s. This Ia new and cheaper style, and n
general favorite fer Family, Light Leather, and a
great variety work. 1t has been gotten up with
reference to furnishing strong and durable, yet
light and tasty Machine, at less price than
either of the above. 1t runs very easy, rapidly
and il pronounced the best machine now in market
for $50.
No. 6. This is q Machine got up entirely
new principle, different from anything ever before
offered to the public, and confidently assert that
for family il has not equal. 1t is very light
and tasty, very rapidly, is almost noseiess in
/ its operation and uses A STRAIGHT NEEDLE
1t is so arranged be utterly impossible for ii
/ to miss stitches. 1t has tension on both sides
and carries large supply of thread on the under
spool. The motions are gained by two small cranks
/ that run without perceptible noise. The two
j threads are worked in such manner a. never IL
both pull ut the time, and consequently little
liable to break. The seam is very elastic and the
thread does not break in washing. II will dc
work better than any cheap machine now in mar
ket, it uses silk cotton or linen with equal fa
