Last Monday afternoon while Mr J B Couey and Andrew Robb, both of Oak -ville, were riding along Ferry street, the team, belonging to Mr Coney, bee rue frightened at the steam engine sewing wood near the Poet Office, and ran away at full spec down Ferry street past the Court House, When near the residence of C H Stewart the tongue to the wagon gave awaj, precipitating both geutletnen to the side walk, againtt which the horses hsd run.

It is a rare thing th -t the people of Al bany have an opportun ity to bear a first class talker, or attend a first class enter tainment of any kind ; but on November 12th a chance will be offered which should be embraced by everybody. On that day the celebrated Joseph Coek,a man known all ever the world, will orate in this city, on the subject "Seven Wonders ot the World " Too writer has heard him, and is not speaking from hearsay, when he says it U a, 1 terary treat to hear Joseph Cook talk on any subject. Besides being one of the leading orators of the world, be has studied and traveled to such an extent that the information alone which he im parts to his hearers is worth far more than the price of admission. After some of the mixed political speeches ef the la? t few weeks, it will be a gigantic relief to listen to a really fine orator. Go. Tell your friends to go. It will pay you. Bins fctulea. . Wednesday afternoon the trial of the State against a man named O'Ronrke took up tie time of the Circuit Court. I be cace was somewhat interesting. The defendant was charged with stealing two rings and several other articles from the house of Mr McCoy, near this city. He was proven to have had the rings, but testified that he purchased them ot a stranger for $1.80, though the rings were worth $5 to $7 apiece. He was proven also t" have told one or two persons that he got them in California, which some what mixed the matter op. The appearance of the man did not enure to his benefit. Even if he bad bought the rings for $1.80, the tact that a man would sell gold nogs for that price would indicate that they had been stolen, and there is little difference between stealing goods and receiving them knowing ly . He was found guil cy. Frail ttler Burned. tUvlee ta Rasters. Duck huuting Is at band, and the time has come when nearly every quack will indicate a shot. We all like wild gsme, particularly when it coats us nothing, so naturally enough we ahall do all In eur power to encourage the pastime. Having talked with quite a number or farmers whose farms are made huuting grounds every year, we are able to present the following advice to hunters, which should be explicitely followed : Always leave the bars down or gate open when going into a field. This will give the farmers cattle a chance to get out or some other farmers to get in to the fall wheat field. common pre-stice with some hunters.) Msnsge to shoot directly towards ths farmer's house. It makes his wife feel eay and know that she is protected. Alwsys go through the fields lately sown to fall wheat.

When you get a drink of water at Mho farmer's well, be sure sod bnak the rope ana leave the bucket at the bottom, and never mind the tin cap, you may went it at the next place. 'Tst Is or Skat lj Semethiug appears to be tho matter with aa n I s w . a me aaicm suuesman lately, it seems to think anything in Albany cannot compare with a like anything in Salem. After the k. of P. meeting here it maliciously stated that the Salem Lodge won the tirst prise in the competitive drill, when it did not, nor did it even do commendable drilling. New it has gone back to fire matters snd hatches the following : some parties have been boasting that the Albany boee team is able to beat the Capital hose team on any distance er con. dition. Our columns are open sod fall to the Aisany boys, or any one who has the mosey w dock mem. to make a challenge and state the amount they wast to inn for and cesdi tiens, snd the Capital boys will not stand upon ceremony. They make no boasts but will simply back their ability. " What has caused the above we do sot know, as bose races are not mentioned en our streets ; bet we believe that in the present muddy weather, when it takes mus cle snd "sand io the craw" to poll a hose cart, either of the Albany teams could make the Capital's tired. Now "shut op." ftnrlac Ceart Week- Last Friday the fruit drier of Mr Jonas Davis, near Sbedda, caught on fire from the sulphur used in drying the fruit, and al though four men were working around the drier at the time, and used every effort to save it, nothing could de done. The drier, buildiug in which it was located and all the contents, were entirely consumed. Among other things were 4C00 ponnds of dried ap ple, 200 or 300 bushels of apples, GO or 70 sacks, and all of Mr Davis' tools. The dam age amounts to about $600, and is a very seri ous loss to Mr Davis at this time, when times are close enough without fruit driers burn ing. Changed Hand. Mr. S. S. Train, for two or three years editor ot the Harrisburg Disseminator, has purchased the Herald, of this city, and will take possession, we understand, next week. We regret very much seeing Mr Walker step out of the Herald, for our relationship with him has been uncommonly pleasant, and agreeable ; but if he is to have a sue ceesor we rejoice to sec' so affable a gentle man as Mr. Train step into the traces. Boy Killed at gels, Last Sunday forenoon while George, the even yer old son of Peter L Bilyeu was playing on a bridge near Scio, known as the Jack Bilyeu bridge, he accidently fell from the bridge to the rocks below, the fail being so severe & to cause his death in a short tini-. The bereaved pareuis have the syn, path i the wuole community in the most unfortunate affair. Among other things the following may be enumerated as being permissi ble during Court week : Swearing as much as you please, (If you can manage to be subpoenaed) Talking politics io tne Court room,if you do not cross thejudge. Sitting on juries and dry goods box- es. Leaving the city while the grand Jury is In session. Kicking at everybody and every thing. Paying the printer. Settling your store bills and contract ing new ones. Prying into other people's gambling affairs. Sincbiug corporations and saloon keepers. Forgetting your wife at home, and making love to seme other man's wife. 'Bold Tear Wheat.' A correspondent of the "West Side' advises farmers to hold their wheat, and gives as its reason that the "Oregonian" states that there will be a decline in pri ces, claiming that it gets its advice from speculators with whom it 1m business to mislead. He says he has noticed this for seventeen years, and that whenever the "Oregonian" cries a decline it means a rise. He says : ' Hold the Wheat, For higher price is coming." f'fune Hold the Fort) In two weeks wheat will be higher than it is at present, and in four weeks still more so. therefore, I say hold on to your wheat, don't sell a bushel unless you are forced to sr.d then stand as much forcing as possible before you let it go.

One day the first of the week seme young men blew up a paper bag, attached it to the tail of a black dog, and set him loose.
