APrRoAcnING.-The last week in
next month Ia the time selected for
holding the Linh County Fair. The
premium list, which has been printed
aud placed in the hands Of the Secreta-
ry of the Association, Mr.. A. n. Arm
old, is probably the largest and most
liberal in its general character ever Of
fcred by the Society, and is calculated
to attract much more general attention
han heretofore. If there Is not a lar
ger show in all departments at the
next Fair than at xny previous one,
we in common with the general pub
lie shall be greatly disappointed. The
attendance. too, will doubtless be large
1y in excess of former meetings, as the
facilities Of transportation are much
greater than heretofore. The outlook
at present IL very favorable indeed for
a Large aud profitable gathering Of the
people, not only Of Linn county, but
from almost every portion Of the State,
from the adjoining Territories, and
from California. Let our people be-
siir themselves to make the Fair a
complete slleeess.

From OcIIooO. letter from Jas.

dated OchOco Valley, August 4th,
announces his safe arrival ut home,
although somewhat wearied with the
long trip. MIR. +. says the potato

NeMil!en 5 and Camp Polk. Reports
the weather edingly warm, but
that bunch grass Is still green, and
tsttlc are flOurisliing. lIaying was
over and safely put up. The story
that Frank Rice, formerly of Marion
county, was Killed recently by Indi-
ans, at Summit Prairie about fifteen
nilesabove Douthitt' place, is untrue.
says there Is no excitement about Ili-
dams whatever. On the night of July
18th, Luther Elkins, Esq, had his two
sorrcl horses stolen, aud the next day
A. lIackleman lost five OF his best
niares-taken by Indians. Tex and
Charley followed the trail one day and
then gave it up. Frank Neon, Hack
leman's hertler, went to IIarney aud
obtained eight soldiers, with NAom, at
list accounts, he was following the
trail made by the party with the stolen
animals. While it i, the general
opinion that Indians are the guilty
parties Mr.. 4. thinks that it is more
than likely bad white men took the
horses. A great many sheep are be-
ing driven out toward John Days and
Harney.
