Two dispatches hav been received tn.

land and dated July I'd at his camp. at
mouth Of south fork Of John Days river,
aud tho other later this afternoon from
Mason in the Geld (some where up the
John Day. via. Umatilla and dated July
9th. The substance Of the first is that
the hostiles are going down the John
Day, With the purpose Of deployiug to
the east INFO the Blue mountains, aud
proceeding to the crossing Of tho Snake
river near the mouth of the Grand
Rronde river, and urging upon General
Wheaton to be ON tho lockout and 10,

that the lImatillas that were il Fox val

Masonic dispatch says that the Una
tillas have already moved to tho hostile
camp, that the number of the hostile:
is very large, and that they have with
them about 1000 head of horses, tina,
they may proceed to the Columbia rive,
near the mouth Of Willow creek, aud

would not do so. The men then were
in good heart, and if the dispatch Of
Chadwick be true they must have ran
out of ammunition. We cannot tell with
any certainty what was the 6nal result
of the battle. Hopes are that the vol
nnteers held ont til Throckmorton came
up, who, with about lbs men mounted,
left Pendle,pn Immediately TN the re-
ceipt Of the news. | may say here that
Gov. Ferry made the trip from OIyn,
pia to Wal!a Waila in as hours, the
quickest time on record over this route.
Groves thinks the Indians will not pro.
coed to the Columbia river, but will
take the Blue mountain route. Others
speculate differently feel assured that
they will either attempt 70 cross the
Columbia "rthe Snake. near its Junction
with the Culumbia. But all is conjec,.
ure as yet. IF they take the Blue noun
tain route look out for them at the
Grand Rond crossing of the Snake rs
miles abo' G Lewiston. and the settlers
near the old Assertion mill will need be
on their guard.
AT 10 Pm.
News received that the volunteers fought
several hours under cover of their log cab
In, then broke away and were pursued for
ahont miles being fred npon from both
sides, and sometimes the Indians were no,
more thnn Is yards from the men. The
volunteers succeeded in reaching Throck-
moriOn's forces who were going GU, to
their assistance. The volunteers lost 2
men killed and 8 wounded. They were
hut As in nuWber, and some OF them broke
through the Indian ranks at the first FIRE
and left the rest. The men were cool and
fought hrsvely and Th,ockmort n com.
plimented them highly for their bravery.

Why MIX Sears During Thunder storms.

Mr.. Malvern w. Hes, says the Jour-
nal of Chemistry, has sent us the fol-
ing note, giving an account of expert
ments made by him with a view of set
Ting this curious question
There have been various surmlses in
regard to this subject; none, so far as l
have been able to learn, have been sub
stantiated by experiments.
Ia order to learn whether milk did
really sour during heavy rain and thun-
der-storms, made several observations
which proved to me that this opinion,
SO commonly held by the dairy-men,
was not erroneous. My experiments
to arrive at the cause of the phenomena
thus observed may be statedas fol-
lows:
Il took skinned mornings milk,
filed an endiemeter tube 600 C. c.),
introduced 1000. C. pure oxygen gas.
Then by the use OF an ordinary battery,
and a small Ruhmkorf' coil, sparks OF
ell ectriclty were made to pass through
the oxygen for five minutes. The cur
rent was then broken, and the tube
shaken up and allowed to stand for five
minutes. The milk does not appear
quite as opaque, and shows noticeable
acid reaction. On continuing the cur
rent for five minutes longer, making
ten minutes in all, the milk curdles very
preceptibly, and shows decided acid
reaction, The contents Of the tube on
standing for twenty minutes had reach
ed the consistency Of ordinary sour milk
or 'bonny-clabber.'
From the above experiment it will
DO seen that the oxygen was converted
into ozone, which we think may be
stated as the cause for the rapid seuring
of milk during thunder-storms.
The increased acidity is due 10 the
formation oflactic acid, aud most pro-
bably SEINE acetic acid, by means of the
ozone. One or both Of these acids
then cause the casein to be rreclpltat-

ALTERATIos.-Itis the undoubted
fact that unmanured land upon which is
grown the same kind of crop year after
year, becomes exhausted Will this
same land nourish other plants without
manure? If it has become exhausted
for wheat will it grow rye How is it
with the forests? Can they support,
without any rest, the same trees for
ages? Do the leaves which fall suppl y
to the soil all that the roots have with
d rawn? How can we explain then the
fact that where ence flourshed Beeches
Birches and Oaks years and years ago,
now We find Pines only and, vice versa.

STRAWBERRY SHERBERr.-Crusb
one pound of ripe strawberries, ada one
pint of cold water, the juice Of one ltD,-
on, and tablespoonful of orange-hov. err
water if you have it. Lst this mixture
stand four hours; then strain thr cugh
cloth, pressing out all the juice, and
add about one.half pound Of powdered
sugar; pour into small tumble.s. and
set into the icc-box for an hour Or so be-
fore serving.
CURRANT JELLY.-The currants
should be picked before deadripe. If
they hang long upon the bushes, they
lose most Of their jelly-making proper.
ty. Pick from the stems, wash, and
place in porcelain Kettle en- the back
on the stove; stir often, and let remain
until thoroughly scalded; strain through
a jeliy-bag, and make not more than
three pints at one time. Allsw equal
quantities ofsugar and juice-a pint for
pint. Boil the juice ten minutes, add
the sugar and boil ten minutes longer,
skimming as necessary. Put into glasses
and set 1t in the sun for few hosrs.
ICED CURRAN Take large
punches of curraRts. wash and drain
dry; beat the whites of one or two eggs
to a frsth; dip in the lunches ofcurrants
and place them upon an inverted sieve,
SO that they 90 not touch each other;
sift powdered sugar thiekly over them
and place where it is warm until dry.
BUNs.-One emp Of sweet mix; one
beaten eggs; one-hali cup of butter; one
cup Of sugar: one-half cup of yeast; a
little salt and flour enough to make a
soft dough. Let rise until very light
and mold into long biscuit with a few
currents; let rise again in the pan; then
bake and when almost done glaze with
a little molasses and milk.
Please tell me the easiest method Of
cleaning and polishing brass stair rods:
ANs.-Take equal parts of soft soap
and rotten-stene; beat to a paste and
apply with wooden cleth; or use rotten
stone made into paste with sweet Oil:
polishing in either case with whitening
and soft leather.
Acids are sometimes employed the
use Of which however, causes the brass
to soon tarnish, and consequently the
rods require frequent cleaning.
Ink STAINS may be removed from
marble by washing first with clear
water and then with weak solution of
oxalic acid.
GRAHAM GEMs.-Three teacupsiuls
efsour milk with a little cream one
and a-half teaspoonful-scant-of soda
one well-beaten egg and a teaspoonful
Of salt a tablespoonful of molasses or
sugar a tablespoonful of melted butter
and Graham -four to mix. To the egg
add the milk, then the sugar and salt,
then the flour with the soda mixed in,
the butter last beat the mixture well :;
have the gem-pans very hot, grease,
ell with the batter, which should be
stiff enough to drop, net pour from the
spoon, and bake from fifteen to twenty
minutes In hot oven.

The eulture Of Cantaloupes.

The culture of this fruit, useqnal ed
we think by any other grown, we are
clad to see, is becoming more general.
Almost every person having a garden
Of any size, is beginning to try his hand
at it. and it can be done with almost as
much success as raising crop OF corn.
The ground should have warm expos
IRE. and be friable-clay mould not be-
inc adapted-the hill should be dug out
eight or ten inches, two feet in diameter
and filed with we'll rotted manure, rich
soil and sand-turnpike dirt is excel
lent as a substitute fer the latter. Five
or six seeds should be put at equal dis
lance about an inch in depth, and the
..hillv should be even with the ether
soil, except the season is wet. when
they should be raised. They should be
about six feet apart each way, and the
plants when they have passed all dan
Ger. should be timed cut to two or three
in n hill. The beds must be kept clear
of all weeds and grass, and when the
vines commence running they should
not be disturbed, as the roots connected
with the vine and by which it is largely
supplied with nouishment, will be bro
ken. The ground, as the vines begin
to extend, should be gone over with an
iron rake, especially after heavy
shower, to loosen it and give these
rootlets a chance to take hold. The
seed should be planted at the time OF
planting.
Sowing rouud the hill, few inches
distance, early radish seed will generally
protect the young plants from the bugs
and always will be more or less bene-
Gclal. Should bugs appear, a sprinkling
of weak whale-oil soap and water, or OF
carbolle acid soap and water, will soon
send them adrlft.
The best varieties Of cantaloupes to
plant in this section are the 'Citron,'
the 'Jenny-Llnd,' the White Japan
and the 'Casaba.' The Nutmeg is too
late for us.
The is no reason why all our farmers
should not have a patch Of cantaloupes
for family use. A plot of ground 40 by
20 feet would be enough for a moderate
sized family, They can raise far
superior fruit to any found in the city
markets.

PINCHING OFF POTATO BLoSS OMs.
A foreign correspondent fthc New
England Farmer, Of Boston, says that
a published report Of experiments made
in France Of increasing the yield Of the
potato BY rem Dying the flower, shows
that the crop was augmented to the ex-
tent Of TWENTY-FIVE per cent. and that
the quality was improved A person, it
is claimed, can nip off the blossoms
from an acre of potatoes in a day.
There are somee seasons however,
when the flowers fall prematurely, and
this labor is unnecessary.

Fowls IN ORCHARDs.-In regard
to keeping fowls in orchards, the Poul-
try World says: Last fall we visited an
orchard In which fowls were kept; the
owner OF which told us that before the
fowls were confined in it, the trees
made little or no growth, and only a
corresponding amoant OF fruit was OBJ
tanned. But what change was evil
dent now. The grass was kept down,
the weeds was killed and the trees pre-
scented an appearance Of thrift, which
the most enthusiastic horticulturist could
not bit admire and envy. The growth
Of the tees was most vigorous, and the
foliage remarkably luxuriant. The
fruit was abundant, of large size and
free from worms and other imperfec-
tons. This excellence was accounted
for by the proprietor, who remarked
that the 'hens ate all the worms and
curculIo in their reach, even the canker
worm" He found less trouble with
their roosting in trees than he expected,
and that picket fence six feet high
kept them within bounds. Ills orchard
was divided into three sections, and the
fowls were changed from one to anoth-
err, as the condition of the fowls or the
orchard section seemed TO require.
