More Highwaymen.

Another daring railroad train rob-
berry took place in Pettis county, on
Friday night, on the Missouri Pacific
road. 1t WAS q desperate dare devil
undertaking, and the success, so tar.
complete. The details are too lengthy
at this time to copy. We give only the
outline. The train was stopped, rs us
ual, by Instructions on the road. The
robbers charged on the train with yells,
and firing of pistols. Some OF the rob-
bers took charge Of the engineers. some
of the express agent, some took out the
money and contents of the express safe,
and others stood guard on the outside,
and kept the passengers in awe. The
robbers wee all disguised. 1t is sup.
posed they got $4,000. Parties have
gone in pursuit. Great excitement cx'
lists in that part of the State.

ALe.ter from Oregon.

NEwRHRy, U RRooN juno IL, 1876.
En-, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. q short
silence we conclude to try our hand
once at "ink Singing Since
we last wrote 10 You, this part OF tho
world has had It's changes, which are
monotonous enough, we thought. and
their recital IL uncalled for. Summer
In all its beauty has taken tho place
of cool. dietary, Spring. Tho clouds
which hung ocr us for the past eight
or nine months have dropped their
parncrcd fulimcss down, aud vanished
into nothiugncss. Tho drowsy Ore
gonian has arisen, shaken tho ficas
from his back, aud went forth to sow.
Aud now he returns again to his home
TO rest his bones until his harvest
shall he ready for the sickle.
CROP PROSPECT.
In some localities the prospect Is
~fiattering; especially for early sown
winter grain. Late spring grain
may not make an excellent yield, still
present prospects indicate a better
yield per acre than last year, with a
much larger.acreagc. Farmers hardly
expect to get a dollar per bushel for
this crop but rs there will probably
be much more wheat raised this year
than last, farmers will be all right.
oREooN's CELEBRATION.
Oregon aud Washington Territory
propose 10 celebrate this year in good
style. There will be q four days cell
ebration at Portland, and a "way MP
time" is anticipated. Among other
things the turf will be of considerable
interest. Several large purses have
been offered. and several horses from
abroad are TO enter the contest.
THE ELECTION
passed off quietly on the 9Th inst,
showing considerable Republican gain
over the last fall election. The DEM
ocrats elect two more members TO
the Legislature than the Republicans.
The Republicans elect every District
Judge in the State, and nearly two
thirds Of the county officers the State
over. Many claimed the State would
| 60 Democratic, but when put to the
the test the result is different. At
date Of writing IL people do not
know the result Of the Cincinnati
Convention, but if a good ticket is
placed in the field, it will be endorsed
BY our people, and if not rice rcrSa.
We remain as ever, &c,
