TIE editor has gone away for a day
or so, and has requested Us to "run"
The Office until his return. To this we
cannot stjcct.-nor don't; but when he
suggests that we write az item about

fair. What DO We know about the
County Fair? Nothing. What does
anybody know about it? Ditto. A

Of the gale, aud the heavy tramp Of
sailors overhead, to find myself tum-
bling about in my bunk. Firmly

ornamented the roof of ny room, while
my friend Burch was playing poker
With his head in the bunk below. Just
then the ship gave sudden and tres

The scenery along the river from AS

rolling hills on each side, covered with
forests OF piue, fir and hemlock. The
river, all the way. is very wide, and in
reality the whole distance is but one
succession of bays and inlets. Sunday
morning found us at the mouth of the
Willamette, II miles below Portland.
The bar was thoroughly dredged the

ocean steamers. As you approach
Portland, tie country becomes less hill
ly and broken, the trees taller, and the
river wider, until you reach point
within five miles Of the city, where it
again becomes broken and hilly. At
this point We turn huge bend in the
river and get our first view of the city
Of Portland, built On series of rolling
hills thai slope gently down to the wa
ter's edge. Six o'clock found me en-
joying IN easy char at the palatial res

friend, and your former fellow citizen,

took NE over to his farm near East
Portland, where / spent part of the day
and had grand dinner in the woods,
Barnard has not changed perceptibly,
and his six years of life in Oregon
seem to nave made him more hale and
hearty. May 4th found me on board
the Dulles packet. bound for Dalles

1.-THE republican party seems to be
passing through most dangerous
crisis. The southern elections are al
against it and # the current is not
changed It's doom is certain. Three
causes are working for the destruction
Of this great party; the conspicuous
failure Of Grants administration, the
universal amnesty notions Of Hon
Horace Greeley, and the instability Of
the negro vote"
SUIT Will be commenced against
tie warden Of :he Missouri Penitenti-
airy, by Mr.. SchaetenberG, the father
of young girl who was ravished By a
negro convict running at large, for
$4,000 damages. It is founded On
the theory that the warden occupies
the position of q man allowing dog
known to be vicious to run at large,
and is therefore responsible for DANA
ces. The negro had been sent to the
prison for rape.
PnoCLAMATI0N BY Gov. BAKER
Gov Baker issues his proclamation
this morning announcing that the laws
passed at the 4Ith general assembly,
which began on the 9TH day ofJanuary,
1869, and also the laws passed at the
special session, which began on the 9Th
day Of April, 1869, have been duly
published and circulated in all the
counties of the state, as provided by
Law, and that the last county which
received them was Pike, on the 10th,
from which date the law was in force.
A rich joke is told on railroad
conductor who resides ip this city. In
his absence his wife presented him
with a fine boy. Some Of his wife's
friends, who are OF a wagsish turn Of
mind suggested that they borrow two
other babies in the neighborhood, and
preseu. he three Youngsters to the
harpy father on his return. The plan
was carried out, and upon the arrival
Of the train in the evening, tie young
husband, who had heard that all was
veil, hurried home. After foudly kiss
ing his wife, he asked to see the little
stran or. Imagine his surprise on be-
holding three babies when the covers
let was turned down. After gazing at
them in profound astouishment for
several minutes, he turned to his wife
and coolly asked, Did any OF them

No marked changes arc TO DO noted In the
market for brown sheetings and shirtings.
The stock In first hands Ia very greatly re-
duced and prices are hrm. The transac tions
Of the past week have not been on q large
scale, and the demand from the West has
been less than might have been anticipated
But the speculative feeling which was so
strong here does not appear to have ex-
tended far in the country.
Bleached shirtlngs and sheetngs have not
been in very active demand; but prices have
been firmly maintained, and for few of the
more popular makes there has been an ad-
vance Of about one cent yard.
Printing-cloths are without any quotable
change since last week.
Prints are In quiet condition, no changes
worth noticing having taken place. The
market is not yet supplied with dark pat

lower prices Will rule on the opening Of the
j fall trade.
In other descriptions OF domestic cotton
fabrics there Is no Change to note since last
week The market generally Is steady, but
transactions are on limited scale.
Wooden goods show some improvement,
but the demand at this season is on a small
scale. Considerable sales Of cloths and coat
lngs are made to the clothlers, and the stock
in first hands being much smaller than 1t
was, prices are firmly maintained.
