Mr.. Il. Gupton, Of 'aluSa county
California, had 5000 acres of wheat
to harvest this season. He com.
menced operations ON the Goth Of
June and expects to finish about
the middle Of September. About
1000 acres is in club wheat, and is
expected to yield 40 bushels per
acre. TO harvest this immense
crop a SO-horse power engine, a
4O-inch cylinder Pitt separator, Z
headers and 2l header wagons, so
mules, and a crew of 60 men are
required, besides three eight-mule
teams with back actions attached,
which haul from the field to the
wharf on the bank of the Sacra-
mento for shipment. These teams
haul from eight to nine hundred
sacks, l35 pounds to the sack, per
day. From twelve to fourteen
hundred sacks per day is generally
but as high as 2, $50 sacks
has been threshed, sacked and piled

News from the Custar expedi-
ton, dated Bears Butte, Dakota
Territory, Aug. 18th, says the ex-
peditlon has found gold and silver
IN several places, while game is
very plentifnl-bear, deer and elk.
The Black Hills prove far richer
than the most exaggerated report
heretofore given of them. Gold
and silver abound in numerous
places, and in such vast quantities,
that miners estimate that with pick
and pan a single miner may easily
secure $40 per day. The distance
from Bismarck to these rich dig
gings is about $50 miles, over a
practicable route. The citizens Of
Bismarck are highly excited, and
expeditions are already being or
gained. No doubt an immense
number fpeople will soon be at
tracted to the Black Hills country,
in spite of savage red skins and
terrible deserts. Wherever gold
and silver abounds there the Amer
lcan will 60 no matter how great

The last Democrat has a fling
at the Methodists. As this is moi
the first time, nor the second, that
Brown has shown his dislike tc
that branch Of the Christian Church
we imagine that at some time il,
his experience a Methodist may
have "sinched" him SO completely
as to have left his imprint indelibly
stamped upon the person of brother
b. Or it may be that Browns
hatred of everything appertaining
to Christianity and its teachings,
leads him to spit out his venom
whenever occasion offers. These
constantly occurring cynicisms in
the columns OF that paper at relig-
ion aud its advocates, is not only
impolite and uuwise, but shows a
mind diseased mini afflicted
with a distemper which totally dis
qualities him for filling the position
of teacher and leader, in even the
Democratic party. Only fools and
lunatics <coff at religion.

The subject of general interest to
the people of the Willamette Val.
ley just now, is the price which they
are likely to obtain for their wheat.
While we are free to confess that
there seems to be no likelihood that
last seasons prices will be realized
for the present crop of wheat, still
we have strong hopes that fair,
living price will be paid our pro-
ducers for ali their surplus grain.
The appended extracts from lead.
ing London journals, and from a
prominent New York Journal, have
led us to the conclusion, as above
stated, that wheat prices must rule
lower than last season.
In general review of the harvest
prospects, in the London Times of
August 10th, it is contended that
the worst point of depression conse-
quent on the Vienna and New York
panlcs OF last autumn and a general
reaction from imitation of wages in
all parts of the world, was reached
some weeks back, and that a slow
but solid commercial revival is now
in progress.
The London Ne,cs, under same
date, says that an extraordinary
wheat harvest is doing its work in
depressing the price of flour, and
certainly before the year is out, the
masses Of consumers in Europe and
America will be beginning to use
fer other purposes the additional
which cheaper breads will
give them. Manufacturers aud 9TH
ers are beginning to prepare tor the
increased purchasing power Of the
masses and the stimulus of a good |
harvest to trade is thus, in part,
beginning to be an accomplished
fact.
The N. Y. Shaping List closes
is harvest review as follows: The
Indications being all in favor of a
harvest in the principal
Countries of Europe as well as in
he United States, and with no
ountry under the necessity of sharp
Y competing with Great Britain as
ast year, the logical inference is
hat prices are likely to rule low.

synopsis Of the Report of Plymouth
Church Investigating CnInittee-
Mrs BeecheF Pronounced Net
Gualfy.

Herdtd gives the following synopsis
Of the forthcoming report of thu
Plymouth Church Investigating
Committee: The report is a lengthy
document, given intwo parts. Ont
is a mere report of evidence, tht
other giving conclusions ofthc Com
mittee. OF course, these are all il
favor of Beccher. The statement
of iilton is first taken up and gone
over by piecemeal and each mair
allegation is set plainly forth with.
out verbiage, the principal promi.
nence being given, o. course, TO al.
legged criminal commerce between
Beecber and I'ilton's wife. This is
compared with statements made on
cross-examinatioE and regeneration
there used. 1t is there shown that
the statementsofwhat is now known
as the ankle scene are not supported
by the evidence Of any person who
claims to have been q witness to it.
inasmuch as he could not swear to
its taking place at any particular
time during a period Of nine years.
The report then goes on to review
Iilton's allegations Of fpersonal chas-
tity and claims of high moral char
ac!ef compared with ev;lcrce of
other persons as to his alleged cor
rupt practices and criminal Conduct,
notably in the case Of the girl
known as Bessie Turner whose ev-
idelce is given to show that Tllton
claims himself 10 be what he is not.
lhereirom is deluced a charge OF
perjury, showing that l'ilton states
under cath III ole Instance what he
fatty contladicts in another. The
Committee, IN giving its conclusion
to this particular branch of the sub
ject, rule that io law, his entire tes-
tlmniy, as lie is shown to lave com |
mitted perjury, is worthless. The |
report then reviews tie testimony |
Of other important witnesses, among
them Mrs. Stanton, coming at
lergth to the examination of Mrs
Filton, giving her accusations of
brutality against her husband and
ot his inhdeilly, and still further
distinct contradiction Of
Ii.ton's accusations. 5Irs. Tilton's
evidence is also quoted to give her
lepial of having lad criminal re-
ations with her pastor, and her own
explanations ut several Vi the most
prominent portions ol Ler letters
from this. The report proceeds to
he short statement of Frank Moul.
ON as given to Tie Committee, and
Iismisses it briefly as having made no
harges against anybody. Finally,
}eecher's statement Itself is taken
Ip and contrasted with several Of
he more serious OF i'iIton's charges,
howlng that circumstances in them
elves apparently damaging were
= reality capable OF explanation.
Ifter this review, given iii detail,
t the more prominent episodes of
be entire controversy, the report
ans up the whole matter, pro and
1n, showing on tie one hand a 4
