place to Amity, distance OF seven
miles, to meet her music class, and re-
turned in the evening. The Vest Side
speaks of Miss. s. as an accomplishe!
teacher in music and French, and from
from the feat referred to, we should
think her an accomplished pedestri-
enne.

The number of real estate sales in Lane
county is increasing, and property il

We take the following from the En-
teyprise We leern that orders have
been issued BY the railroad managing
agent to the mail agent, not to deliver
any more mail ut Burlow's Post Office.
There was an unpleaSantness between
Mr.. Barlow and tho railroad Company
which resulted in law suit, which we
presume IL the cause of this order. BY
what authority these chaps discontinue
mail wherever they please is matter
which demands investigation
thieves have been appropriating clothing
of of other peoples cloth lines.
WHEAT pRosPECT IN LINN.-After
carefully comparing notes, we believe
the situation in this county is about
this: Spring wheat generally at this
writing never gave better promise of
an abundant harvest, in some sections it
even being predicted that,the yield will
be greatly in excess, should no untavor-
able weather intervene between this
and harvest, of any former year. Fall
grain has not fared so well. While
some farmers have plowed up all their
fall sown wheat, others have fair
show for a half crop, and still others
claim that their fall crop will average
with other years. Indications are that
the fall grain will not yield, generally,
an average crop. But the loss, if any,
sustained in the Fall wheat, will be fully
made up in the extra yield of spring. -
The peach crop, and fruit OF all kinds,
promise to be unusually good east OF the
Cascade. Register.
