Some of our farmers are turning their attention to the cultiva tion of flax. At the . present price of wheat one bushel of flax seed is equal to more than three of wheat then the straw is worth. 40 per ton. If an acre of gTonad will jiroduee one-third as much Sax as wheat, it Is aTgued, taking one year with another, flax is the most profit able crop. Gentlemen who experiment ed on a small scale last season intend trying it on a larger scale the coming season, as they assure us there is more money in it than in wheat. Messrs. Beach & Monteith, of the Steam" Flour ing Mills in this city, offer inducements to farmers who wih to engage in the cul tivation of flax, that should not be over looked by them. They have procured the best variety of seed, which can be ob t lined of them by any responsible party. They will also contract for the flax crop of the coming season in this county. See their advertisement in another col umn. . Wants to go Home. A story is told (we don't vouch for its truthfulness), on Thompson and Rogers, two married men, who, wandering home late one night stopped at what Thompson supposed was his residence, but which his companion iasisted was his own house. Thompson i rang the bell lustily, when a window was opened, and a lady inquired what was wanted. "Mrdam," inquired Mr. T., isn't this Mr. T Thompson's house!" "No," replied the ladyj "this is the res idence of 3Ir. Rogers." "Well," ex claimed Thompson, "Mrs. T T Thomp son beg yonr pardon Mrs. Roger?, won't you just step down to the door and pick out Rogers, for Thompson wants to go home." County Court Proceedings. The following business was had before this court in the fore part of the week. Rutledgevs. H. Smith eta!. Plaintiff cUimai J obtained judgement for io.;- & iiiM ;. J. Levy & Bro, vs. James Keslmg; suit begun by attachment ; attachment quashed. E. J. Kightlinger vs. Wm. McCallis iter; continued for want of service., Application, by Wm. M. Davis, for the establishment of a ferry on the North Santiam j Board refused to grant tha ap jftieatioo. . . Taxenjine's BUT. -St. Valentine's day occurs this year on the 14th of the present month. It is a very old notion that on this day birds begin to couple. "When the day arrives it will be in order do send letters full of professions of love And affection to the "broken-hearted milkman" or " the "gal pext door." "Tfcese little billetdonx are often the cause of great jars in society," says an old chronicler, by which ho probably meant 'family jarsr,; Of our.se every one will take advantage of the day as best suits them. Church Seryicje. Rev. Mr. Jenkins will hold divine service at the M. K Church in'thii city on to-morrow, (Sab bath) morning and evening. ' 'i d i'ilpV I 1 "F- '"WoitKi.NO .Man." !v rcu-r- V tj ellVf, lo tje cuncil prm-ei-tHni it will bi seen 'that Mr. J. y. llacku-mun w is the .'.'working nau" and chairman of the "Pest House Committee," and not Mr. Mealey, as was last week claimed by the Register. Democrat. . Every word asserted by the Registu was in accordance with the facts. Mr. Mealey was the working man on the committee. At the suggestion of Mr. Comley, who said that he was very busy and had not time to give attention to it, but gave his assurance that he would ratify any steps taken toward securing the property, Mr. Mealey spent the best portion of four days in tracing up the title and seduring a deed to the city for the property in question. In the Coun cil Mr. Ilacklcman, when called on for a report as Chairman of the committee, knew nothing of any transaction, as he said, looking toward the purchase of the property, but referred the Council to Mr. Mealey for a report of what had been done and M. Mealey made tho re port. Mr. Mealey deserves credit for the manner in which he executed the duty imposed upon him by the Council. The time spent in attending to the affair was a loss, pecuniarily, to him, and uoth ingbut a contemptible spirit of meanness and a reckless disregard of every princi ple of honesty and justice would induce an attempt to detract from the ' merit such services deserve at the hands of our citizens. F;i;km..n's IV-vr.f. Tho ball to be , . . V-r It ' . . ' il.. r:vcu :.: l'Miri li H-iH jj tins ciry on m id, for tl-.e bcviefit u!' our new lire coi.i- pany, will be the grandest affair in the ine of balls that ever came off in this ity. The boys are very enthusiastic, and every member of the company will exert himself to make the affair pleasant and agreeable to all who miy attend. The hall will be tastily and elegantly decorated with pictures, mottoes, evcr- rcen?, etc., aul when brilliantly lighted up, will present a most attractive appearance. Arm and Leo Broken. Mr. McGill, who will be remembered as formerly in the employ of Messrs. Pierce & -Davis as ferryman at this city, at present living with Mr. Ilentzlcr, at Lower Soda on the Cascade wagon road, about two weeks since, while endeavoring to kindle a fire, broke his right arm. Mr. Ilentzlcr un dertook to "set" the arm, and in so doiug, broke McGills left thigh. This is the most siugular occurrence ot a aouoie breakage that we have heard of for a .... . r HT-iMI coou s age. At last accounts ;ur. iucuhi was convalescing. Black Eye, Mr. M. V. Brown Esq., of the Democrat, had a "head put on him" last Tuesday, that doesn't add very extensively to his personal attrac tions. Mait. had been out hunting, aqd espying a piue squirrel, he jumped upon a stump to get a shot at the "ane- mile." He "shot his gun off" at the squirrel, and his gun in turn, beinj over-loaded, kicked him off the stump into the water, where he was found and rescued by a couple of his friends, with a badly bruised face and his right eye in mourning. Mart, says it was a pretty loud "call," and this thing called "fun" in hunting ain't much to speak of, but he give that squirrel a h of a scare you bet your boots ! Bids for City Work. The Council authorizes the Recorder to advertise for bids to build crosswalks, etc., for the city. This, judging from "precedents," is entirely unnecessary another piece of extravagance. Just find which "bed- rocker" will do it for the most "kale seed," and give him the job, and not try to cover up your proceedings under color of law. Stick to "precedent," and you'll come out of one end or the other of the horu. Willamette Farmer. C. P. Burk- hart, Eq., agent for Willamette Farmer in Linn county, requests all those with whom he has left subscription papers and who have obtained signers to the. 'same,' to forward all such lists to him at 'Alba ny by the first of March. It is desira ble that the Farmer should start with as large a subscription list as possible, and all who favor such publication should begin with the first number. ; Temperance Lecture. On Tucs day evening Grand Worthy Chief Temp lar, II. N. George, delivered a temper ance lecture in the Congregationa Church in this city. The lecture was well received by the large audience in attendance. 'Mr. George is on the "war path," and is undoubtedly accomplishing much good for the temperance cause- He will be here again on next Tuesday evening, and a temperance meeting wil be held on that i evening at the same place. A general invitation is extended Sales at Auction. As will be seen by reading' our new advertisements in this issue, W. W. Parrish & Co. intend offering their entire stock of dry goods groceries and hardware at auction, oom mencing the sales on Monday, February 22d. An opportunity will then be offered to those who attend these sales to get choice goods at bargains. Read their advertisement and be on hand when the bell rings." Fire Meeting. At a meeting of Albany Fire Company No. 1, on Tues day night last, the style of shirt to be worn by members was adopted, and mem bent requested to procure them as soon as convenient. A cap was also adopted and several dozen will be ordered in time for the parade on the 22d. The uniform adopted is plain and will cost but a trjfle, and if each member will procure his out fit before the 22d, the Company will pre sent a very neat appearance on "dress parade" neat but not gaudy.

Brown has an awful "editorial bead" on lira mi"ht be called a "full face black lead," very appropriately. A lady met Mart.,"" the other day, on his way to the Court House. A few steps farther on she met a friend, when she exclaimed : "I met Mr. Brown just now, and from the looks of his face I think he's been in a fight, and was on his way to the Court House to pay his fine !"
