! THAT PROPOSED ExCURsIoN.-We
understand that the existence of small
pox in Portland and in other localities
down the river is likely to prove a Sc
rious drawback to the success of the
proposed excursion on the Fourth of
July. While we would not for q mo-
ment attempt to detraet from the sue
cess of any enterprise which is devised
for the pleasure of q large class of per-
sons-as this one doubtless is-we GER
tainly think that our citizens should
be very sure that there is no danger to
be apprehended from this fearful con-
tagion before fully making up their
minds to so on this excursion. Only
last week q man who was badly broken
out with the smallpox p~ostules, was
found elbowing his way among the
citizens of Portland and exposing
scores of people to the loathsome and
dangerous malady, and it may be con-
fldently expected that many eases will
result from this one alone. Hence
people who go upon that excursion
may not only expose themselves to the
eontagion, but are likely to shoulder
upon themselves the fearful response
-bility of spreading it in the communal
ty in which they reside. Such an ex-
cursion rs the one contemplated might
infect the whole Willamette Valley
wi th this contagion and bring upon us
eli u scourge as would drape thou
sands of our beautiful valley homes in
mourn ing. Ne trust our citizens will
invesh ute this matter carefully and
weigh we'll the consequences before en-
gaging in Il pleasure excursion which
may be only a prelude to hundreds of
funerals.
THE CoTswaLp SHEEr.-It Will be.
remembered tina we last week called
the attention of ur readers to the fact
that ]. s. Tolton, o. Canada, was stop
ping in this city and had several head
of pure-blood CotswoI,l tlheep for sale.
In the Willamette FdrDIe.- of last week
we have eorrobarative tes Il mony OF the

UNcoMMoN.--We learn from Mr.
Lewis Long, that while at the resi-
dence of his brother, in Polk county,
last week, he discovered a bee tree,
and when it was cut down there was
found to be three swarms in it, which
is very rare that more than one swarm
is found in a single tree. The tree
was measured and it was found that
the first swarm was located about
twenty feet above the ground, the Sec
ond twenty-eight, and the third fifty
eight feet. ABOUT nine gallons of hon.
ey were procured from the tree.

PETERsoS's MAGAZINE for July
more than maintains its old pre-emi-
nece. Its principal engraving is a
steel-pIate, "Mother's Darling" one
that will go to every woman's heart.
The stories are unusually good, ever
for peterson" Among them Is
"When we went Yachting" by Frank
Lee Benedict, with a capital iIlustra-
tion-a spirited tale. Then there is
"Her Modern Pickwick," by Daisy
Ventnor, and any Idecs Abour Free
Love-" as good as anything of the
Widow Bedett. "Miss Vernon's
Choice" is a story of great power, by
Fanny Hodgson. The fashions in this
magazine are always the latest, and,
what is as necessary, the prettiest.
"Peterson's'' is the only lady's book
left that gives colored steel fashion
plates, and the one in the July number
is a miracle of beauty. Every lady
ought to have this magazine on her
centre-table. The price is only two
dollars a year, with great deduction to
clubs. Now is a good time to sub
scribe, as a new volume begins with
the July number. Address CHAs. ].
