there has not been single breach

feel that mere words are inadequate
to thank this House for its resolu-

which l have discharged the duties

onerous, and often the most deli

best. Long service here has taught
me that hate or vengeance has never
raised any cause to enduring honor,
while on the contrary justice and
mutual regard have often given the
weaker side an easy victory. With
two great parties dividing the people,
each holding an important share in
the Government, with sLrict account
ability on the part of the public
servants, and vigilant eyes watching
all, with reviving business and re
sto.ed confidence, may we not look
hopefully to an early dawn of
a new era of increased prosperity
and greater happiness for the coun-
try? Such is my fervent prayer.
20 each and every Representative
here, [ tender my heartfelt ac>
knowledgment for the kindly for
bearance extended to me as presid-
ing officer of this House, and l
shall ever gratefully cherish the
honor of which l have been the re
cipient. With expression of the
wish that you all may return safely
and in health to your homes, it only
remains for me to declare that, in

To FARMERS Oar farmers will make
money by remembering that they cannot
market their wheat ii they mix the bad with

This year the very closest inspection will
be given to grain offered for sale, and buyers
will take no chances in the matter. Portland
wheat merchants are notifying local dealers
and farmers that any wheat sent to them
that is not exactly what 1t is represented to
be will be thrown back on the producers
hands. 1t is a matter of the greatest impor-
tance that care and Judgment should be en-
erclsed, both as source OF profit to the
farmer, and ioT the credit Of or valleys.
A recent trip over the valley demonstrated
very satisfactorily tina: while in the major
ity OF cases, the wheat being thrashed is as
clean as 1t can possibly be: there are very
few large fields that are 50 mixed UP that It
is almost impossible to tell what grain will
give the largest yield. for wheat, oats, rye.

1t is no mercenary motive that moves the
sisters to found this new asylum 1"r the

nit, the present interests aud requirements
Of the people really call for such an lnstltu-
ton. BY this we do not inslnuate that the
climate OF our valley is calculated to bring
patronage to the hospital, but the rapid
growth Of onr population, the vast extent Of
country over which it is scattered. and our
great distance from any thoroughly organ
lied hospital, where proper nursing can be
had and choice of medical aid always at
hand, all combine to show that good hos
pi.al at present becomes Il necessary item IN
the development Of the country and welfare
of the people.

Rev Bishop A NJ. A Blanchet, resigned.
Father Yungar came to this country in 1861,

Walla Walla- At that time everything was
new here, not only to the new missionary, who
had Just then left an elegant and refined home
on the Rhine, but TO every one else, as this
country had then been only about two years
thrown open to settlement. Under these cir

have no doubt, will ever remain green in his
Lordship's recollections. Father Yunser is a
pious and jealous priest, and a good man, who
has endeared himself to every one by his uni

Yunger many, very many years Of usefulness

is that the Herald is not IN earnest, hut

powcr in the land. and III this instance
uses that power in manner calculated
on the surface to inju-e Tilden prospects,

dound to his advantage. That Tildcn will
be the next nominee Is almost fore9one
conclusion. The people kaor that he was
swindled out Of the presidency by the
greatest fraud in the annals of our history.
They want him and will have no other

that will always ensue when the Amcri-
can people even suspect that man no

fraud and audacity on the part of

by every possible means to get up

party has narrowed down to only two
candidates in the persons Of Tilden and
Hancock. The latter is soldier, and
has a very good chance for the position
he inclines unto, but his time is not Yet
come. 1t is already Al acknowledged fact
that without Tilden the great state of
New York cannot be carried by the demo
Gratis. Tilden knows his power, and if
he does not use 1t on the next occasion
deserves defeat ever after No matter
who the men are that are being placed in

will have no earthly chance So long as
Tilden is alive He allows them to 90 Oh
