On the evening of Monday last, at

indulged in by number of our young
folks" all enjoying pleasant time.
Croft & Elswick during the past
week have received at their pork pack
ing house good supply of hogs, which
have been dressed and salted away,
fright side up with care"
Greatly exaggerated reports having
gained circulation in regard to small
pox existing in Brownsville, various
rumors being circulated which are
without foundation, that seemingly
grow rs they travel, which are calcu-
lated to create needless alarm, state
ment of facts rs they are will not be
out of place There is not at the pres
ent time, nor has there been a case of
smallpox in Brownsville. The rumors
circulated have grown from the fact
that A. X. Thompson, residing nine
miles cast of Brownsville, is suffering
from an attack of the disease, but all
precautions have been taken 10 pre-
vent communication with the prem
ises and parties interested. The pa
tient is in the hands of skillfuI nurse
and At last reports was doing as well
as could be expected under the circum-
stances. Doctors Starr and Reese have
during the past two days vqceinated
over $50 persons, and will continue 10
vaeeinate all those who apply. At a
meeting of citizens held at the North
Brownsville city hall on the evening
of Saturday last, committee Of five
were appointed to see that, should the
disease prove epidemic, necessary
quarantine should be established and
all preventive measures adopted. There
is not AT the present time any danger
to be apprehended from the case of
Mr.. Thompson, which was contracted
while in attendance of his son Clyde
at Portland, as the patient is miles
away from town and the premises are
distant from all surrounding families
All persons, however, should avail
themselves of the opportunity to vac
cinate, as this is necessary precaution
at all times, Irrespective of the present
prevalence Of the disease in Portland
and other valley points. T. 5. p.

The Potato MARKET.

San Francisco has drawn quite
heavily upon the Oregon market for
potatoes. Already not less than 40, ,00C
bushels have been sent to that city per
steamship, and the prospects are that
much heavier shipments will follow
The reason for the large amount of po-
tatoes being shipped TO San Francisco
is that prices in that city have adj
vaaeed very materially of hte. Still,
one farmer recently sent down 2oG
sacks on his own account, and after
disposing of them through commits
sion merchant, found himself Just S35
in debt by the transaction. The pota-
toes We're gathered before the ground
had been cooled by the late fall weather,
and, in consequence, rotted badly. II
IS claimed by experienced parties that
potatoes viii keep just as well this year
as usual, if they are not dug from the
ground too early. 1t not dug till the
heavy frosts they will keep pnueh bet
ter aud viii bear longer shipments
and rougher usage.

So far as can be learned there are,
outside Of Portland and East Portland,
eight cases Of smallpox in the State;
One in Salem, one near Oregon City,
one at ChaInpoeg, one at st. Paul, one
at Glendale, two at Butteville, and the
case of Mr.. Thompson, several miles
from here. No great danger is appre
hended at any place of the disease
spreading, the people of Brownsville
being more alarmed than at any place
we have heard Of. Physicians every
where are doing a Gland office" vaccI

TWO RARRARiANs.


4 lawyer and physician in Ala
bama had dispute over some collec-
tons, and agreed TO settle their diff
c llty with bowie-knives in darkened
room. They fought desperately for
ten minutes, and when the door was
broken open, one died In few min
utes and the other rushed out into the
street, erazed with the pain of dozen
wounds, and expired soon after. Such
ferocity and brutality forms the con-
Meeting link between mankind and
the lower order of beasts, and Darwin's
lost link will be found in the innate
savageness that still fingers in the race
and finds vent in such barbarism In
the slow process of evolution and the
development of the human race, It
will take many generations to eradi-
cate the last trace of the savage and
barbarian from mans nature. The
day will surely come, however, when
such scenes will live only i'm the fiction
of the chrysalis age of the nineteenth
century, Portland News.

The climate and soil of the William
cite valley Is so naturally adapted to
the culture Of fruit Of nearly every de-
seription that it Is only matter of
time when the large fields now COW
cred with stubble and oak grubs will
be replaced by thrifty and profitable
orchards. The planting of fruit trees
is annually growing greater all through
the valley, but the largest acreage to
be planted this fall that we have heard
Of, Is in Linn county, about two miles
from Corvallis. says the Times. BY a
mutual understanding between q few
citizens and some Of the farmers OF
that locality, they have decided TO
plant a large tract in italian prune
trees, and by pooling their issues their
financial success seems TO be inevitable,
as the demand for this fruit is almost
inestimable. They expect to erect q
dryer of enormous capacity, " hen the
trees commence 10 bear, and ship their
fruit under one brand. This can
hardly he considered Il speculation, as
the success OF fruit culture in the Will
lamette valley has already been dem
onstrated, and it il predicted that the
seventy-five acres when planted will
be among the most valuable in the
valley in a very few years.
