evening. it ran of the track through q misplace

narrow escape from damage and loss OF life.
Word was sent to Portland for assistance, which
was soon at the scene Of disaster, and through

severe drouth which terra-hrma was compelled
to undergo. Corn mdiling; oats fair; potatoes
midlling yield aud generally sound; these that
were dug early have become somewhat affected
since harvesting, where they have not been
properly attended to. Apples were never known
to be so bountiful as at present, even surprising
the crop Of the memorable year Of 1867. Par
ties who were never before the lucky posscssors
Of barrel Of cider or apples, now have these
goodies carefully stored in the cellar for the APP
preaching cold winter evenings. Hay Is light,
as all consumers Of milk can testify by its pres
ent high price. Many farmers have reduced
their stock nearly one half, on account VI the
high price Of hay, which is held here firmly at
$50 per ton, with fair prospect Of its reaching
$40 ere Spring reaches US. Poultry and pump

grateful hearts to the giver Of all blessings,
may VIC enjoy an old-f.shioned Thanksgiving
with the best Of good feeling toward all man
kind, not forgetting the printer.
