LARGE WHEAT PURcHAsE.-How-
ell, Harper & Co. on last Saturday
purchased the entire lot of wheat in
the Farmers Ware House at Spring
hill, three miles below Albany, ION the
river being 700 tons. The price paid
was 81, ,O5 per bushel. This would in
dicate that the purchasers have entire
confidence in the stability as well as
advance in the wheat market. Afessrs.
Howell, Harper & Co. are careful and
far-seeing business men, and would
not be likely to make mistake against
themselves in a matter of so much
magnitude.

RECIPE FOR CURING HAMS
Joseph Hamilton, Esq, of this county,
lin response to many interrogatories on
the subject, furnishes us the following
recipe for curing hams:
To 500 lbs. of hams take half bushel
of fine salt, 2 lbs. of saltpetre, 4 lbs. of
brown sugar, half gallon of best mo-
lasses. Mix all the ingredients well
together in q large tub and rub the
meat with it until the whole quantity
of the mixture is absorbed. The meat
must be taken out of the cask once a
week and rubbed with the pickle it
makes. The two last times the meat
is taken out a plateful of fine salt
should be added. The meat ought to
remain in pickle five or six weeks, ac-
cording to its size.

PoNDERoUs CABBAdE:-Mr. Jno. s.

forward with their big cabbage heads.
1t will also be in order for our brethren
of the quill and paste-pot to sling jokes
at US about "big cabbage head" etc.

GOLD MINES. Quite an excitement
has been kicked up by the report of
rich gold discoveries in the Yakima
country, w. t., and several parties are
talking of going thither from this city.
The Wala Walla Real Estate Record of
last week, says:
Considerable excitement has been
occasioned by the report that extensive
and rich placer mines have been dis
covered on the head waters of the Yaki-
ma river, distant about l75 miles from
this city. Several reliable parties have
arrived from the new mines, and are
sanguine that they are both rich and
extensive. The diggings are supposed
to be from three to ten feet deep, and
prospects from the top to the bedrock.
From what we can learn it-would seem
that this new discovery is a valuable
one and is attracting a great deal of at
tention. Quite number of our citi-
zens have gone to the mines, and in a
short time news more reliable will be
received, and it will be definitely
known whether or not gold has been
found in paying quantities.

fell to the floor OF that place, Friday
night. DR.. Myers. who was passine

deceased was not known, but Forceps
remembered that . sister lived on
Nelson street, and IL was decided best
to take the body there. It was accord

in = wagon, and driven to the sisters

the Doctor and Forceps went to the

back. "Take him to the poor house.

in a tone Of voice that showed how
deeply he was shocked by the inhu-

the virago. II tell you he shan't

looking around, the men were startled
to see the corpse climb down from the
wagon and hobble to the gate.

Miraculous Escape.

Captain s. II. Mills, of New York
city, was drowned, or, as 1t has since
turned out, merely supposed to be
drow ned, at Lewes, Del. He fell over
board from his schooner. Upon the
body being recovered, aud after at
tempts to restore life had failed, it was
placed in coffin, aud then again In
the usual outer box, and shipped by
Adams Express to the friends of the
unfortunate man in New York city.

SO nearly drowned that he must have
known all but the final gasp Of death.
How narrowly he escaped being
buried alive may be imagined from
the fact that up to the time Of opening
the box there was no idea that he
lived. Even then he might have been
sent to his grave had not the peculiar
flush upon his face attracted attention.
