Big Grape Yield at Iriron.

Sam Carson brought to this office
few punches of grapes Wednesday
last, one of which (bunches, not
grapes) tipped the scales at 20
ounces. They were grown in his
dooryard, but we think Mrs. Carson
did more towards their production
than Sam did. They have a few lots
surrounding their house which are
covered with trees and vines, and we
think Mrs. Carson is the one who
watched them the closest. Their place
is certainly an object lesson worth
seeing.-Irrigon Irrigator.

Irving in collaboration with his broth

that the people of New York made I'M
due pretensions to wisdom, and that
there were both satire and wit in the

The old story tells how King John
wished TO pass through the parish, but
the people there, faucying that the
passage of the king over Il route made
transit by all pretending to be crazy.
Therefore when the king and his party
arrived they found every one of the
inhabitants employed i'll some peculiar
Iy foolish task. Thus a group were
joining hands around thorn bush to
keep cuckoo from getting away, some
were trying to drown an eel. others
