1tappears that Mr. Bull is likely to get
more kicks than coppers for his inter
ference in behalf of the Southeren Con-
federacy. Brick Pomeroy's paper ad-
dresses the old gentleman as follows:
Your conduct to both parties during
our terrible war is stencil in the nostriis
of all who then were courageous foes.
John, there is not man alive who fought
upon our battle fields during all our fight,
on either side, nor have those men son,
who will not feel it TO be not only re-
ligious duty, but also duty he owes to
his manhood, to whip you thoroughly
whenever you shall kindly afford the
ghost of an opportunity.

Farmers Can Ride and PloW,
BY SECURING ONE OF the
GAY" PI1OWS.
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
sS65 and sS15


THVHE simplicity and practicabity of this
u Plow cornmends it fayorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses decided
superiority NIL other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter and run the
unplowed land. It's entire construction is in
way complicated The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Gay P.ow will be clearly shown
by tho following certificate
We, the undersigned. citizens Of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adju=ting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. Wo
like the plow for its draught, because tho samc is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage; also, because it is strong
and durable. all except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron--no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing. not having to make the nee
cssary changes in the machinery, and the seat 10
always level not thr wing tho driver forward or
sideways as in other plows Better work and
moro of it can be accomplished by the of this
Plow than by hand. 50 =
We take pleasure in recommending tho 4GAY"
PLow to our brother farmers, one having
superior in Oregon.

California wheat Crops. Etc.

The San Francisco Herald is authority
for stating that the wheat crop in many
portions of California has been seriously
affected By rust. The valleys near the
will be the most seriously affected, being
under the influence of heavy fogs which
had been prevailing for some days pre-
vious to the 9th Of June The Bulletin
of San Francisco thinks that, at a rough
guess, the damage to the wheat crop in
California will amount to two millions Of
bushels. As an offsett to the prospective
short crops there and in this State, the
same paper states that prices have gone
up slightly in the New York market
while the rise at Liverpool lis more de-
cided and remarkable than anything that
has occurred in the grain market within
the year" The caus, of the immediate
rise, us stated by the New York Conln,es-
cal, is that the Russian Government has
entered the grain market Of Germany as
a purchaser The loa,n,erctat further
says: LAS Russia is one of the largest
giain-supplying countries in the world,
furnishing England more than that
country obtains from all other sources,
including the United States. its appear
ance as u purchaser of grain is the more
extraordinary. 1t must evidently exer-
else an appreciable influence upon the
American breadstufs trade. The United
States will be called upon to furnish the
bulk of the deficit. and an increased ac-
tivity in the export demand will be the
result.

Great Fire at Portage Lake.
MILwAUKEE, April ia dispatch
from Houghtou, Michigan, dated the
18th, says: At one o'clock yesterday
morning fire broke out in a small
French saloon in the northwest quarter
of our sister village of Hancock, which
four hours thereafter resulted in the al
most complete destruction of the vii
lsge. Except few business houses on
the north and west, and the docks and
warehouses under the bluff on the
south, every store, business place, sa-
loon, etc, except the post Office and
Gibson's tailor shop and milinary store,
near Masonic Hall, were destroyed, to-
gether with about fifty private dwel-
ings. The principal buildings saved
were the Masonic Hall and ST Patrisk's
Hall, the Methodist and Catholic
churches, the school buildings and the
few buildings adjoining and lying west
of them, and the warehouses, buildings
and docks under the bluff on the lake
shore. The district burned over is
about sixty-fve acres, comprising six
entire blocks, containing by count one
hundred and ten occupied buildings,
besides the usual number of barns and
out-houses. The buildings would av-
erage over $4,000 each. The loss is
not far from half million dollars, with
about 100000 insurance. Over two
hundred families were left homeless or
lose large portion of their effects by
the fire, breaking, throwing, etc., last
night. The most of the total loss falls
on those poor people. A meeting Of
the citizens will be held at two o'clock
to-day to make suitable provision for
the destitute and raise funds for their
relief.

BRowE, the Democratic Banker of
Coshocton, who assisted Ketchum, the
Democratic Treasurer of Coshocton
County to rob himself of $4,000, in
1858, has at last got his deserts. The
trial was transferred from Coshocton to
Newark, in order that he might have
justice, and he has got it-ten years in
the penitentiary and a fine of $4,000.
It viii be remembered that there was a
Democratic Legislature that year, and
It ct once passed an act to relieve the
Treasurer, supposed to be robbed. In
deed such haste was manifested, that
the Ohio State Journal called attention
to it. and demonstrated against such
speedy action. Tne Treasurer consider
ing himself aggrieved sued the Journal
for libel, but never prosecuted it, the
case being continued from term to term.
