WELL ADDRESS.

Den. Sir.-We, the Catholics Of
-. WaIla. come 10 offer you cur most
heartfelt expressions of regret at the sudden
and unexpected change and withdrawal Of
vou. our esteemed and much beloved pastor,
| from amongst Us.
1t is needless for US 10 say, that We as a
congregation, value and esteem you. Our
protest to the Bishop against your removal
proved that We both esteemed and loved YOU
The long privations, We had to endure
made Us the more sensible OF your priceless
value. For several years we suffered the
want Of priest who could preach the word
of God to us In our own language, and this
want made us careless IL the practice Of our
religion
/ Seven years ago, when you came amongst
US, our church was in dliap!dated condl-
( ton and encumbered with debt At your
suggestion we adopted proper measures, and
soon discovered that we only needed the
( guidance OF wise and jealous priest t.
| make MS a congregation worthy Of st, Pat
rick, and our church fit dwelling place for
the Lord of Hosts
You have made cur church gem III the
! neatnesS of the edliice, as well as N the
| beauty of Its ceremonies and we telt proud
! 70 bring our Protestant fellow-citizens to as
sist at these ceremonies. We felt sure of our
pastor-sure that he was able 20 defend both
/ ourselves and our church by his able and
scholarly handling Of the word OF truth.
| These ties, so holy, that bind the pastor to
his fcck are ROW about 10 be severed. We
| have done all that people could 10 to keep
YOU stil amongst Us. We have delegated
/ two of our congregation to the Bishop offer
! ing him to do ali IN our power for the French
town people provided he would leave you
amongst US. And though our sentiments
are not changed, yet, to comply with your
| teaching and last advice, We Viii submit for
! TIE love Of God and your sake 10 this change
Bat, Dear Father Dufy, take with you
or most grateful and everlasting love. In
our hearts YOU shall eyer ho!d the first place
as the type of the true Irish priest who has
! led US and our children for happy years IL
! the paths Of virtue, and made us Catholics
Of Walia Walla, our schools and church, =
united and respectable congregation.
| Take with yoI then, Dear and hev. Faith
er, these sentiments of our true love and
yeneration ard when among your future
/ flock you lead them up to the mount OF God
and preach to them tie same sacred text
you so Wei AID faithfully preached to us, We
beg that you VIII giyea thought and pray

lies CT st. Patrick Parish, Walla Walla.

:. TIE LAND or BREAD. We have now
before us copy Of the Cincinnati Gdzstte,
in which it is claimed That Ohio Is The
land Of bread. 70 maintain this claim,
the writer gives table IN which the average
grain yield for the States named is set forth.
For tie information and encouragement Of
oar farmers We herewith give the table:
Califs-a;a ............-.. f3 bushels per acre
Minnesota ............l3 l3 bushels per acre
Ohio. ..............l4 II bushels per acre
Niscorsir. r..............Il II bushels per acre
Presuming that these figures aIe correct
and We believe that they arc-oar farmers
WI see the hEueEse adyant7se- they have
over the g.,il producers Of orCa She moss
favored states. In ohio, an average Hrodne-
Eon of II bushels to the arro Is deemed
something to boast Of, and on this fgare the
ttle Of lie great grain growing State IS
claimed. Here, IN this country east OF the
mountains the most Indifferent bench land
viii produce % and 90 bushels to the acre,
and when it comes to the better class of land
the average sums up all the way from 30 to
50 bushels 10 the acre. Take the country
through. and thirty bushels to the acre Is
vastly less than the average. Our Cincin-
natl cotemporary must abandon hls eiaiin,
and concede that the great Columbia k!veF
basin Is the land Of bread.

UNATIILA INDRNs-Col. Connoyer, in
from the Umatilla Reservation, reports his
Indians all quiet. The number of Indians
now on the Reservation IS larger than at
any former period, and as 4 result the agency
is called upon tOfurnish more supplies in the
shape Of meat and -four than usual. Owing
to the Indian war and consequent distrust,
the Indians are unable to visit their fishing
anI hunting grounds, and SO are depavey! Of
their usual facilities for obtaining food. At
this season OF the year and earIiesi it has been
the custom OF the Indians TO catch and cure
large quantities Of salmon, which in the
main forms their dependence for winter food
This source Of subsistence IS cut off, and
Just now the gaunt figure Of famine Is the

POLITICAL NOTES.

have no desire TO dodge" said Patterson, and
then he crawled under the bed
Tammany has struck alTeadg for new excise
law. The glorious Democracy wits under scarcity
of rum.
The quicker the New-Yori Republicans stop
growing and get to work. the better chance will
they have of defeating the ring ticket.
If Mr. Randall should be elected speaker, the heap
Of crow which the Tammany newspapers are fli-
ca5eeing would appal anything but a Democratic
stomach
Whether the new officers suggested for the New
York Custom House owe their selection to Mr..
Evarts or not it is point in their favor that no one
has boon able 20 question their fitness.
Patterson seems to be under an impression that
South Carolina is in red hot political ferment at
present. 1t u good deal cooler than it was when
he was negotiating for his election to the United
States Senate.
rho most costly way to get rid Of a debt Is to re-
pudiate says General Walker, whose moral science
seems to be sound as his political economy. Vr-
GINA does not deserve to be dsgraced by rcadust-
mcnt, so long as she rears men OF such quality.
The great mistake which is made in estimating
Mr.. Raudalrs chances for the speakership, is in
giving any weight to his subidy straddle The
average Democrat cares nothing for that-he him
self has s'raddled too often to think it any draw
back 20 a statesmars fitness.
They have news in Washington that Mr.. Conklmg
turns up his nose at the opposition Of the Union
League Club. ridicules the idea of opposing him be-
cause he has attacked the Administration. when lie
has made no such attack. and intimates his belief
that MIR. Greeley was pretty near right when he al
uded to the mombors of the Club as narrow
minded blockhoads." Perhaps Mr.. Conkiiug SAID
this, and perhaps he didn't

The direct bearing of this election upon Ma
