The EoURTI AT PoaTLAND.-The
ninety third anniversary of American
Independence, which was celebrated in
the city of Portland on Monday, the 9th,
was big thing. The announcement
that the citizens of Portland would ex-
pend five thousand dollars in celebrating,
and that a general invitation was extend
ed to all to participate, brought out an
immense crowd-by far the largest gath
cring We have ever seen on the coast
And when this crowd left Portland for
their homes, they feft her citizens better
off, financially, by at least one hundred
thousand dollars That's business. The
business men of Portland understand
themselves. The procession. which form
ed about 10 A. NJ. as programmed, was
not an all-smashing affair, but was very
creditable under the circumstances. The
principal features of the procession Were
the Liberty Car, in which was seated a
handsome young lady personatins the
Goddess of Liberty, surrounded by thirty
seven small girls representing the differ
ent States of the Union the various fire
companies of Portland, Oregon City aud
Vancouver, and the military. Tie pro-
cession reached the grounds about II
o'clock, where, as previously announced,
George Francis Train proceeded to crate
OF the Grafton We cannot judge, as We
did not hear it. In fact the continual
bdz, buz of human voices, the creaking
and rattle Of moving vehicles, exploding
fire-crackers, the shouting of men and
boys, the constant shifting and changing
from one point to another by the restless
crowd of humanity present, aggregated a
roar that would have drowned anything
but the hoarse voice of a cannon, and we
doubt whether any one present heard
more than portion of the speech. We
suppose, however, the speech was emf
neutiy characteristic Of George Francis
Train The celebration closed with a
grand exhibition of fireworks in the even
ing. This brought out larger crowd
than the days performances, acres upon
a eres of people being present This part
OF the programme was a decided success.
The principal piece, which was also the
last, represented a train of cars, consist
ing of locomotive, tender, and passenger
L. ~ II r

on the top of which was the telegraph
xMire surmounted by the American eagle.
Fhe firing of this piece was accompanied
by fash of fire backward and forward
upon the telegraph wire stretched across
the entire ground, and produced brill.
iant and thrilling effect. The celebra,
4ion as whole was success.

GRAIN MARKET.-Says the Cnion5st ::
Ia all the grain growing sections of the
United States, the farmers are looking
forward to the opening of the fall trade
and the prosI ective rise in the value of
breadstuffs, with lively interest. From
present indications We are led to believe
that the United States will be called upon
for the next fifteen months, to supply
England with the great bulk of cereals,
which that nation is annually obliged to
draw from foreign countries. Farmers in
the United States, have recently heard
with great satisfaction that Russia has
entered the German grain markets as a
purchaser. An eastern journal, COM
menting on this fact says: Heretofore
Russia has been large exporter of grain,
furnished England with more than all
other sources combined. But for the
past two years it seems that great
change has taken place. Last year Rus
sia imported grain, and this year she is
doing the same thing. 1t does not appear
that this transformation Of Russia from a
seller into buyer is the result of di.
minished yield in proportion to the area
sown, but rather to the fact that less grain
has been put in. This condition Of
things is attributed to the emancipation
of the serfs, who, now that they are indie
pendent, raise barley enough to supply
their own wants, while the great estates
are no longer worked. The consequences
is that provinces which formerly exported
largely have, of late, been obliged to i'm
port. Under these circumstances W.
may anticipate an advance in the Ameri
can markets. England, being cut of
from her main source Of supply will b,
under the necessity of coming to US
There is no reason to suppose that th'
present season win change the aspect o
the case materially, and our farmers ma,
expect ready market for the growing
| crop, abundant as it bids iair to be, q
good prices ga sFss dlv sss

Adventure with a Grizzly.
GA hunter who was some years 40

"a hunter who was some years ago
guiding a company of emigrants to Cali
fornia, started ahead one afternoon to
look for lodging place for the night.
After while he got off his horse and
sat Down to rest himself, and to eat a
little roast venison. While eating, he
saw some wild goats on top of hill.
He took his gun and got .as near them
as he could without being seen, and was
just about firing when he heard terri
BILE snort behind him. lie instantly
turned, and beheld The largest bear he
had ever seen in his life, not more than
sixty PAGES off. 1t was a big grizzly,
and had not yet seen the hunter, who
fastened to hide himself whore he conld
get a good shot without being seen.
Soon the bear saw the hunters red
blanket, which he had hung on stick
when he was trying to shoot goats. The
bear came near it and stood up on his
hind legs. Then the hunter fired his
rifle at the beast, but unfortunately hit
it only in the shoulder. The bear be-
came very angry, beloved loudly and
rushed toward the place where the hun
ter was hidden, which was just behind
the red blanket. The man instantly
dropped his rife, and seized his great
hunting knife i'll one hand and took the
red blanket in the other, and as soon as
the bear came within reach, he threw
the blanket over his head, and then
made dash for his horse, which was
some distance off
After running little way, he looked
behind, and as the bear was not follow
ing, he stopped. What he saw made
him laugh heartily. The bear had got
his head through a hole in the blanket.
1t stood upon its hind-legs, and the
blanket dropped all around it like a
cloak. Then it tried to run after the
man, but the blanket caught in its feet
and tripped it and made it roll over,
when it roared like mad buffalo
The hunter soon came to his horse,
got on his back and rode to the spot
where his gun was lying. He picked it
up and loaded it, aud went to the place
where the bear was still tumbling and
struggling ia the blanket This time
he took better aim, and soon had 4 bull
let in the bears brain. His blanket was
torn in pieces by the efforts of the bear
to get loose but who would not lose a
blanket in order to save his life 2"

The Laws of Life say: "More quarrels
arise between brothers, between sisters,
between hired girls, between clerks in
stores, between apprentices in mechanic
shops, between hired men, between hus-
bands and wives, owing to electrical
changes through which their nervous
systems go by lodging together night
after night under the same bed clothes,
than by almost any other disturbing
cause There is nothing that will so
derange the nervous system of person
who is eliminative in nervous force, as to
lie all night in bed with another person
who is absorbent in nervous force. The
absorber will go to sleep and rest all
night while the eliminator will be
tumbling and tossing, restless and nerv-
Gus, and wake up in the morning fretful,
peevish, fault finding and discouraged.
No two persons, no matter who they. are,
should habitually sleep together. One
will thrive and the other will lose This
is the law, and in married life it is defed
almost universally"

FouRrH IN ALBANY.-Albany Fire

FOURTH IN ALBANy.-Albany Fire
Company deserves credit for getting up
the largest celebration, in point of num-
bers, ever held n the 9th of July in
Linn county. From all we can gather,
we think the celebration generally fully
met the expectations of all concerned,
and good feeling and general enjoyment
prevailed. The main feature in the pro-
cession was the car containing thirty
seven girls robed ia white, to represent
the different States, It was tastefully
gotten up, and far excelled similar at
tempts in Salem aud Portland Nine
boys, on horseback, representing the
Territories, followed the car The fire
engine was decorated and brushed up till
it shone like new dollar. With the
exception of the premature discharge of
an anvil, severely burning two men, the
day passed of very pleasantly.
