T.oohfng Ahead.

The farmers Of Linn county as wsai as
other portions Of the State are busily
engaged IN cultivating as great 2 breadth
of land as possible for the coming bar
vest, and although the season has been
somewhat backward, we are led to believe
from the statements of those well inform
ed in the matter, that the amount of
grain sown will greatly exceed that of
any former year. The weather, too,
since the raining season sslet mp has
been all that could be desired for grow
ing purposes; andshouh continuance
sef lhe same be granted us5 the ceming Z
harvest will be something unprecedented,
even in the great Willamette valley
There IS every reason to expect fair de-
mand from Europe at good figures next
fall for grain the Western States do
not produce wheat as in former years,
and there viii consequently be a greater
demand there for home consumption !;
and added to this the certainty of fzat least
q partial failure of the crop in California
the prospect that there viii be a full de-
mand for all the. surplus grain raised in
Oregon the coming season, at good prices,
pever looked more promising or certain.
We have still another article of export
which promises TO add largely to the
Golfers of our producers: the wool clip
of the present year bids fair to double
the receipts of former years. The price
now offered i largely in advance of
former seasons, and the competition for
its purchase throughout the State is
active and conducive to the highest
rates. The large emigration which is
i now flowing in steady stream to our
State, brings muscle and gold, both
of which are being put into active service
developing our resources and increasing
the general wealth. From every stand
point the coming season affords evidence
of the highest prosperity and advance
mcnt TO Oregon prosperity which will
soon place her on a full equality in all
respects with her more favored sister
States Of the East.

The Sacramento Reporter says that
the tStanford horse" was recently driven
twice around the mile track at the Park.
The first half mile was trotted over at a
moderate speed, but on the last half his
driver let him SO, and he crossed the
score in 107. Keeping right on, at a
slower trot, till the half mile post was
reached, he wasagain urged to his speed,

sold for $3.50. Stanford paid s3 900. aud

Vice President Colfax, in recent
speech, gave the following truthful de-
fnitions of the carpet -hagser and scalla-
wag, so frequently and bitterly assailed
by the Democracy
Who is a carpet bagger? He is a cit
izen of the United States. Born on our
soil or naturalized by our courts, who has
the right to settle where he plcases under
our flag, in North Carolina as well as in
Indiana; in South Corolina as well as in
Vermont with the right to proclaim his
sentiments wherever he lives and what
ever his creed, condition, color or
profession may be-on the housetops
or by ballot-with none to modest or
make him afraid. Who is seal
lawag? Hc is native of the South,
who, when the storm of civil war burst
on his region, dared, despite the danger
of death, imprisonment, coufscation and
exile, to declare that he stood by the
Union-true among the false, faithful
among the faithlcss.

of half the sum in gold. They were
told that there was not enough gold in
Paris to meet the demand; but, having
ascertained that there was b1lIion in the
