FROM OAKLAND.

The cricket still sings lis evening
song.
Several parties are preparing to at
tend the State fair
Our race stock is en- route for the
fair
Mr.. r. Thomas is able to be on the
street again.
Our furniture store is in good con-
dition. The large sign is very conspic-
uous, the proprietor ditto, and every
thing in connection lovely.
Berry Linville, ESQ.,, has sold his
farm to Mr.. Kerley and has taken his
departure for eastern Oregon, where he
will engage in the stock business. Mr..
Linville will be missed by many.
Mr.. Winterburn, superintendent of
the Bonanza mine, takes his depal ture
for San Francisco in few days, where
lie will remain short time to attend
TO some very important business.
Preparations are being made to open
and work the cement mines, situated
near this place. Experts have exam
ined the mines and report that they
cannot be excelled i'll any country.
J. III. Howard and family will soon
take their departure for the eastern
States. Mr.. II. will visit his native
State, where his parents, brothers and
sisters reside. We hope they will soon
return, for they will be greatly missed
by the whole community.
Some low and anplincipled scoun-
drels had the audacity to break the
windows and destroy other things in
the livery stabl, last SATURDAY. night.
The names of the parties are not
known, but circumstances give us a
good clue to their identity.
Mr.. Kerley, one of our city fathers,
has departed for the fair, where he has
taken his race mare, and intends to win
all The laurels. We did not think that
Mr.. X. would give up his moral ideas
for those of sport, but blood will tell
every time.
Our matrimonial market is in good
condition at the present time, and the
future prospects are good, yet we are
not able to give true statement of the
final result. Time Will tell us how
things have moved and the result of the
harvest.
A number of our citizens are pre-.
pairing to attend the State fair, where
they will have the pleasure of inspect
ing the blooded stock of our State
They will soon return, however, with
long, hungry smiles on their cheeks
and empty purses, indicating that they
succeeded in disposing of their surplu:
