The Portland Oregonian of the 21st ult, states: "Thomas Pritchard, Esq., of this city, has shown us the finest specimens of Apples we have ever seen in any country; many of them measured fifteen and sixteen inches in circumference, and weighed twenty-eight and twenty-nine ounces. Fifteen or sixteen fill a half bushel measure. These Apples was raised by Nathan Robinson, of this county, (not by Lewellen of Clackamas county,) on trees of only three years' growth. Mr. P. has several bushels of them which he is going to ship to San Francisco by the next steamer. Oregon can beat the world in fruit growing, as a few years will demonstrate".

Who - Beets! - We have received a fine large Bassano Beet, from Napa city, through the kindness of H. Dudley, Esq., which weighs 31 pounds. We feel indebted to our friend for the interest manifested in forwarding this specimen. The Beet was grown on the farm of Mr. A. Arnott, one mile from Napa City, and without irrigation the entire season.
