The teachers of Linn County are hereby notified that a Teacher s Institute for Mid county has been appointed to meet in Scio on the evening of April 5th. 1S.SI, and to eontinuo in session three days. Tho pres ence and cooperation of all who are at pres ent teachers or who expect to teach in tho public schools during tho present year are expected at the institute. Those who aspiro to ho toachcrs should make all reasonable olTorts to lit themselves thoroughly for their work, and lot no oppor tunity for tho acquisition of a knowledgo of tho Wst methods of instruction, government, discipline, etc., jkus unimproved. Tho Teacher's Institute is tho most ethcient means wo have in this state for the traiuing and improvement of teachers ; therefore when opportunity offers let all who can, avail themselves of its benefits. Arrangements have been made by which all persons atteudmg tho institute, and pay ing full fare over the hue of tho Oregon and California Railroad will bo returned freo of charge. When tho iustituto was appointed at Seio it was expected tho Narrow Gang Railroad would be in operation, and thus afford a convenient way of reaching there ; but sine.' the lloods have prevented travel by this line teachers who wish to attend can do so via tho Oregon and California Railroad, getting their tiekets to Marion Station, where' hacks will be in readiness to convey Mem to Sole As the regular wurk of the institute begins at 0:.'t0 a. in., April tth, th 'so atteudmg vi.t tho railroad should o down on Tuesday, otherwise they will fail to reach the institute till tho close of the lirst days work. In order that a sufficient number of hacks be in readiness at Marion to convey teachers to Scio, it will be well for all who expect to attend by this route to drop me a postal card at Allauy, stating on what day they will bo iluwu. The citizens of Seio have generously olfered free enter tainuicut to teachers. The program of the institute is given below. L J. PoWKi.L, Supt.

The lecture delivered by Rev. McLafferty at the Y. P. C. A. Hall last Wednesday evening was a splendid effort, and deserved a better audience: llleh W liter. Editor Drmorrut : In your paper somo weeks ago there ap peared an articlo on tho subject of tho San tiam Canal, in which tho writer urged the uocessity of having it deepened for tho pur pose of draining tho town, ami promoting the good health of tho community. Ho said that tho ditch, iu its present condition was tho cause of typhoid, intermittent and mala rial fevers, together with a fww other pleas ant troubles ot a like natuiw. That nothing was said in reply to that communication bxiks as if his remarks wore unanswerable, 1 tit much can ho said iu favor of allowing thing to remain in their presentcondition. First, ho evidently had not thought of the Albany cow. This is a very tender subject with me, even though her beef is rather tough, aud anything that tends to affaet her condition rouses all the opposition in my na ture. Were the canal lowered cveu two feet, it would be uuhamly for hor to drink when she wanted. She might be compclh tl to go to the river for water, and this trouble so provoke her that she would gift loss milk. Besides cutting off in somo degree her water supply it would affect her feed. The ditch water overflowing the banks, keep hor patures green, and while there is a good deal of alhnu aud a strong oder, tho cow does not .mind this, if only the grass will grow, and the people in the nei;hlHirhood of thoovertlows can comfort themselves with the reflection that if the overflow is bad for them, it is good for the cows. The irrigating properties of this ditch wa ter should not bo forgotten. Very few towns can boast of having nice water cresses growiug in their gutters, yet some of the Al bany gutters are gioeu all the yenr round. When the summer is hottest and ilricnt these ditches never go dry, but ,tho drier the Bea ton is, the more odoriferous they Iseome One such ditch runs by tho jail, aud how gratifying to the inmate it must be, to see one spot of greeu iuthe dreary prosoetlefore them. Were the canal lowered it would dry up as well as the others, and this eouliarity of the towi: of Albany would 1h; Inst in ol.liv ion. But this is a minor reason, and it is hoped that duo weight will be ghnM to the follow iug arguments against any change iu the ditch. Tho drug business and doctor iu this town have depended f r their support on the hod health of a Isre lift III of the community. The last time tho writer counted the number of dor tors living here there were sixteen, but since then MM or two have left. Now, a t !.. ct-nu gave u uearly 2,000 inhabitants this makes about one doctor to l'27t prrou, men, womeu ami children, or allowing an average of live to a family it make one doctor to every twenty tive lAtiiilic. Iu many town one deeMt can attend to two hundred families, aud hardly make a living. Now if the ditch wa ter contributes in auy way to maintain iuh a large and resectable portiou of the com munity, it ought to be let alone and those doctors who say anything in favor of lower ing the ditch, should be ducked in it. Tim lowering the ditch would also render it dangerous to the children and eMsff folk liviug on its bauks, it might have to bo fenced iu, aud then no opportunities for he roic deeds would afforded. When one of our highly respected lady citicn fell over the bank some nights ago, had it been deeper she might have drowned and lor gallant rescuers unable to pull her out Boys could no longer sail their boat in it. The skating on tow n lots during cold weather would be impossible. The concert of frogs would cease, and the next generation might ask the question put t us by a strange lady, "what kind of bird are those 1 hear sing ing r The coinplaiuts made by some foohab per sous ought to be stopped. What they ob ject to should teach them philosophy, but somo of our oldest citizen arc loudest iu their murmuring. When the canal was tirst open they did uot grumble I c iu tbey realized tho benefit of water jtowcr to tho town and exected improvement to be made from time to time. But as tho town in creased in size it was noticed that the avail able lots required to ! Idled in with earth and gravel to make them habitable, the grade of the streets had to be mode higher ; a few things like these exhausted th- slsTldaf stock of patience of some, and they bajM to grumble. They seemed to forgst the advan tages of this state of things ; men were em ployed to haul earth and gravel and thus helped to make a living ; doctors had to at tend the sick and they made a living ; the sick folks kave to buy large quantities of medicine aud the druggists have made a liv- iving, and as their friends have put tomb stones over them, our stone cutters and monument makers also have been somewhat benetitted. Xow if any one does not like this state of affairs, we have a free country, he can leave and go where he pleases. Should he com plain that he has spent money on his proper ty and must sell at a sacrifice, if the jn-rson seising makesabad bargain, the one who buys makes a good one, and the satisfaction of the buyer if an offset to the disgust of the seller, t is in vain that these murmurer say that t is a nuisance to have the water overllow u this way aud that it is in the power of the Council to order it to be lowered. The Council are chosen by the people and as their representatives, have permitted this thing to go on for years, the longer it continues the greater will be the precedent for things remaining as thty are. If any one is really damaged why doesn't he sue and try to re cover damages? We have lawyers who would be glad to undertake such suits, but so hopaleas is the ehanca ol baetorhm matters that no one baa tried is. Thus ye old grum bler and youug ones too you had better let things go on as they have done in times past unless matters would be improved by tax payers building all the bridges at tho cross walks, and thus give our carpenters some thing to do and help them to pay their doc tor s bills. That Albany is naturally one of tho healthiest and best of town sites has nothing to do with the matter. If ditch water could spoil the town it would have done so long before this, but notwithstanding all com plaints of hard times and nothing doing, excepting Portland, Albany is ahead of any town in the Willamette V alley. Since we have done so well what is the need of try ing to better ourselves. Of course every one knows that were the canal confined to its banks by deepening, that running water would be a help rather than a detriment to the health of the community, but seeing the good purposes served by the canal at its present level, let bad alone, and think , how much worse it might be. Since then our cows, our doctors, drug, gists, teamsters, monument makers, under takers, boys and frogs are benefitted by ditch water, let all agitators, of reform, do as the gutters would do were the canal lowered, and what we expect to do, "dry up."

The PbAMOS ol Old I. urn had one of th. ir interesting n eetings with Uarriaburg tSraoge No. II on March I'.'th. 1881, and if somo of the croaker aliut dead grange had lecn present they would have thought that No. 1 1 presented a prrtty lively eore. Harris burg Grange was fully represented, and Leb anon. Santiam, Oak Plain, Charity and oth er had a fair representation. W. M. S. S. Train opefid the grange, which traaaartod a part id the unal routine of grange busi ness, after which tho fair w ster asnuinced dinner. After dinner was d(pood of in genuine grangrr stylo the grange wa called to order and Bro. Irvine was called out aud made a speech one hour ami teu minute long, going l.a !. to the organization of tho order and showing how farmer had hutm benefitted by and through the organization of the P. of U., makiag the matter so plain that it is hard to see how soma eoplo can argue) that the grange ha been of no advantage to the fanner: showing aUw what the Linn County c lined have l u doiug for themselves and other in the past seven or tight years, giving a brief hitory of the rise, progress aud gen. mal up and downs of tho order, aud the duty of Patrons in cooperating together ; winding up with his usual encomiums on the unity of tho sisters of tho order. That sterling old Patron, Harvey Shelton, of San tiam No. .'17, wassailed out by tho W. M. and gave his views in regard to what legisla tion w as needed by tho farmeas and how the young pople were hem-fit ted by the order That tho grange was a much better place for tbem to go to than tbo common places of amuseineut, and showing that if the W M. would announce that there would be a division of coin to tbo amount of a few dol lars to each member, that all would bo promptly on hand at every meeting. Bro D. Smith, Treas. of State Grange, spoke on the financial condition of tho StaU Grange, showing that the indebtedness of tho S. tS. had been entirely liquidated and that liuan i i.illy the grange was in a healthy condition. Bro. Henry spoke of the relation of Pemoua (ranges aud Couuty Councils to the Statu Grange. Bro. Davis, of Oak Plain, made a few pointed remarks on the unity of the order. Bro. Cornctte, of Oak Plain, spoke ou this same subject. Thou that earnest old pat ron, Kuoc Hoult, of Harrisburg, who scarcely ever lets a meeting of the grango pass with out hsing prescut, came out and spoku en couragingly on tho prospects of the order, and it is encouraging to see such old gray haired veterans as he and Win. McCulIoch and T. Alford and many othorold men cliog iug to the Patrons so earnestly and truly With such men to help it along the grange roftiiot Jail. After remarks by various members, the day being far spent, the grange elosod, peace and harmony prevailing. Cuauity Notice to the I'uhllr.

Our readers will remember what a war there was last year among the different wire binding harvester agencies iu this locality. It was said by somo that the Osborn binder would hot be able to furnish a twine binding attachment this season, but contrary to that they are the lirst iu the field, and now have one ou exposition at Buchanan's agriciillui.il house. With every self binding harvester company they sell both attachments for binding, with either twine or wire, without increasing the standard price of the machine. Tho fluctuating rates demambd for both kiads of binding material, during the past two seasons havo clearly established the fact that power to chaugu from on to the other at will is the farmer's only safeguard from extortion. Iu the coming competition liable to result from rival interests resecliiig tw iuo and w ire resjicctivoly, the farmer who ojht ates an Osliorn Harvester, that will bind with both materials equally welt, will be iu a position to avail himself of the advantage ollered by a double market. The Osliorn Harvester is simple in con struction and durable in its material and haa successfully stood the test as a wire binder, and wo feel assured will be just as successful with twine ; and then it is such a small task to change tho attachments from one to the other, only requiring about tin minutes time. A distinguishing feature of the Osborn ScK Binder, whether using twine or wire, is its re markably clean work. It wastes no grain. The arrangement of tho cutting, elevating uhd binding apparatus is such that all tho grain is saved, whether it bo long or short, thick or thin, standing or lodged. A w indy day has no terrors for the Osborn, as the elevator cap affords certain protectiou for grain. The whole machine is completely under the control of the driver whou in the held, he can regulate the size of the bundles by means of a foot trip, and can adjust tho band to long or short straw by a simple turp of a whoel, and yet every part of the machinery is of the most lasting and durable material. That genial and accommodating gentle man, Eugene Buchanan, is the local agent foo the Osborn, and he will be glad to show it to all who call on him. Our Ahnae ol I mmniiic. Editor hiniocrat : American people aro peculiarly sensitive iu tho matter of4theirus of words. The MO pie of Oregon, though a long distance from the center of Knglish civilization, aro Ameri can, hence aro seiisfiivc on this subject; so wo write with caution. Perhaps more than the people of any other state Orcgoniaus display greater originality in their iflous of how language should be murdered. I doubt if nny style could be cslh-d idiomatic to Oregon. Made up, as she is, of people from ever state in the L'uited States, Luroj.e and Missouri, her language is a conglomeration of divcrsilicd ieculiari tics. Neither Clarke nor Brown am thought of, and K' ail is ns much a sttanger as the Cheops of Kgypt. This is particularly the case among tho uneducated. Because of it wo respect them none the le, and we r taiuly would not hesitate to receive our hun dred per cent profit on th" sale of u bill ill good', by reason of the odd manner iu who h they are demanded but in people, w ho have received the advantage of nothing more than a common school education, it is im . cusuble. Webster is fiithority in Oregon as well as in Florida, in Missouri as well as iu N w York, and the same rules of rhetoric obtain in all of these states. So theie is no use of tho reign of Chaos, at lenst among educated people, anywhere within the limits of the rule of the F.ughuh luiij'ltngc.
