the side of the mountain south of the
south fork OF Clearwater, about 20
miles east of Mt. Idaho, on Tuesday,
the 9th inst, sending forth a colume
of fire and smoke several hundred feet
in height, and rock which fell at a
distance OF several miles from the
place of eruption. The shock was
distinctly felt at Mt. Idaho and on
the extreme west of Camas prairie,
and at the mouth of Salmon river, a
distance of about rs miles. Later

A report comes that Russia has a
large and full wheat crop. 1t prom
Uses, indeed, to be as large as ever
harvested in that country. This comes
from the minister of the United
States in Russia, and it's authenticity
may therefore be depended on. Re-
ports from the other countries of Eu-
rope indicate on the whole fair
crop, and the probabilities are that
rather less wheat will be required
from America for the coming year
than during the last.
