SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 18G9. LOCAL AFFAIRS 76(3-761 132 J i San Francisco Legal Tender rates...... .New-York Gold quotations Jubilant. An ordinauee passeil our City Council (see proceedings in another column),on Thursday. ni.ht,-appropriating S2,000 lor the purchase of a fire engine for the use of Albany Fire Co. . No 1. Of course this action of the Council tweets with the hearty approba tion of the members of the Fire Compa uy'and a nmjority of our citizens. The boys generally feel jolly, ind join in the expression, "liully for the Council !" - . Tiie -..Twesty-Skcond Ball. The ball on the night of the 22d, at Parrish ttall iu this city, given ly Albany Fire Company No. 1, was a grand success. So far as we have heard an expression, the opinion is the most favorable. The hall was most handsomely decorated and lighted tip, principally through the exer tions and management of the Foreman of the Company,' Jos. Webber, and his 1st and -d Assistants, Messrs. Farrcli and. Rogers. The programme for danc ing was so arranged as to please every body a thing very rarely accomplished. The supper a general donation affair, i provided almost entirely by the ladies of our city was another success, a big fea ture of the evening. It is usual to say, iic, but conscientiously, now, we can't say we heard the tables groan any to speak of, but there was no lack of pas tries or substantial ; and after all had partaken freely, there were a number of bplen Jidly frosted cakes, pies, hams chickens, etc., left, which were disposed of at private sale the next day. It was decidedly the most pleasant party we have attended for veais. The total re ceipts were S197 25; expenditures, $117 25, leavixig 80 as net profit to the Coni- Suggestion. We have been inform cd that the Four blocks immediately sur rounding Albany College, belong to that corporation. These Collepe grounds arc just far enough from the centre cf basi ness for a pleasant evening or morning walk. By the judicious expenditure of a ruull amount ot money now, in the way of erecting a fence, planting a few trees nd sowing with blue grass, - in a short time the College grounds would be the most attractive place in our city. Thus a in nrnrl r cr q it i 1 in n r i fri mv t V a trrAii ml lUiIUI ill U I IA wuuviljlUp LUU s ta -e would not only enhance their value, but the value of property in the immediate vicinity. ' With other eities and towns in Oregon, we have nothing io the way of a plaza or park which is fee to the gene Tal public. From suggestions made to us by different citizen, we believe that all will give liberally toward decorating the grounds aboTe mentioned, and making them an ornament to our eity. At pre sent they arc of no practical utility what ever. What say those in authority ? 1'lowino. Our farmers are making use of the fine weather we arc at present enjoying, plowing, harrowing, and in some instances sowing urain. The trav ' cling ! hereabouts is very fair generally, the roads in "spots" already getting dusty, and should the present delightful weather hoid a few days louger, the roads' everywhere will be in splendid condition. Water has even disappeared from some of tho sloughs. As a conse quence of a lack of rain the river is again very low and navigation difficult "Bat CoDE."Mo8t every man you meet complains of a 'bad code"; "nodze stopped, up, kan'd 'ardly brede." It seems to be a kind of distemper that has spread over the country like an epidem ic. If we had been visited -with the usual amount of "mist" at this season, ' instead of the beautiful weather we are at present enjoying, we would have "missed" the colds. " However, hope soon to get used to dry weather. Resolutions of Thanks At a called meeting of Albany Fire Co. No. 1, - on Tuesday evening, the following reso lution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a vote of thanks is hereby tendered to D. Froman, Esq., for the free use of the Hall ; to the- Ladies, who so generously aided in arranging the supper table ; and to the citizens gener ally, who furnished such an abundant supply of eatables for the occasion. The Committee of Arrangements also passed a vote of thanks to Geo. H. Bart ;. ges, Esq., for many favors extended the -Committee.- . r1- .. Religious -A revival is progressing in the M. E.

Co.'s steamer. ni'e I'atlon, had run on to a snag and sunk, between here and Salem. The rumor was incorrect ; the steamej struck on a bar a few miles above Salem, but was soon released and was expected to reach our wh irf last night or to-day. . , - - Base Ball.

The American Indians are reported to be giving the Spanish-American soldiers on the frontiers of Chili all they want to do. General Pinto was sent against the Indians with an army of three thousand men, but does not sem to have effected much; as at the last accounts the Indians had besieged three forts, and were with difficulty repulsed. The Arancanians are probably the bravest and most manly race ot Indians in south America They feel that civilization is encroach ing upon their territories, and must be driven back. Their hope is that in the mountain fastnesses they may beat back the bpamsh invaders. . XUED. In this city, on the 20th inst., George Hurr, infant son ot Frank D, and Mary .
