The filling up oo Second etrect ordered by the Council, has been commenced. The draiuing of the slough between Second and Third, on Ferry, should be attended to at once. We were visited with a slight fall of rain on Weduesday night. ' Weather cool and pleasant durins the week ; busiue?s fair. For a ;weet-smelling and neatly ar ranged boquet, we ara indebted to the politeness of Mr. and Mrs. J. Briggs. Mrs. Morgan has reinoved from First street to corner of Second and Washing ton, late the residence of J. B. Sprengvr. It is one of the pleasantest and most com fortable boarding places in the city. J. E. Smith has opened a restaurant on First street, iu the building formerly occupied by Mrs. Smith as a millinery cstaDiisuniein. So far as we know, at present there is neither tailor or tailoring establishment in this city. Several loads of wool have made their -appearance on our streets during the week. Base Ball Club meets this evening at 5 o'clock sharp, for practice. Mr. Westfall is slowly convalescing. The operatives at the sash, blind and door factory ot Messrs. Althouse & Co., havo been as busy as bees during the week, filling orders and finishing up new work. The plowing match for single plows come off at the Fair grounds at 10 o'clock this morning. Let ail who can, attend. llon.-J. Quinn Thornton called on us . yesterday, lie is at present residing at Portland. - e . Excelsior Brick Machine. We took occasion to visit the brick yard of John S. McCallister, one day during the present week, and while there examined the new brick machine, the invention of Mr. McCallister. The machine is of very simple but ingenious construction, and for the manufacture of brick is far superior to anything we have ever seen, being able to turn out 25,000 brick per day with a sufficient number of laborers to off-bear the brick. We were informed that one of these machines, worked by four hands, in this city recently, turned out 12,000 brick in one day. We exam ined a kiln containing several thousand of these brick, nicely burned. They were very regular in size' and smoothness of surface, neat, well pressed corners, and were just such brick as a mason delights to see in fact are far superior in every way to the ordinary brick made by hand. The inventor, Mr. John S. 3IcCallister, of this place, has applied for a patent, as wo stated some weeks since, which he will undoubtedly obtain, as nothing like : it haj ever been invented.. One of the machines, sold to parties in Salem, on the first trial, with six hands, made 1,000 brick in 27 minutes. Of course, tbe purchasers are highly pleased with it. Another of these machines has been sold and forwarded to the Dalles, to Mr. Abrams, one of the contractors on the U. S. Mint, building at that place. One of these machines has also been ordered McCallister build in" and completed at this place. The price of the Excelsior at the factory is 300, complete, mounted on wheels and ready for use. Brick can be manufactured by using one of these machines at nearly one-half less than the ordinary cost of molding by hand, and the amount thus saved would, in a few weeks' work, pay for a machine in the reduced cost of hands required to manufacture the brick. We advise persons in this line of busi ness to apply at once to J. S. McCallister & Co. for one of these machines ; full satisfaction is guaranteed to those desir ing to purchase. Returned. Chas. Harper, Esq., has returned to this city from a protracted visit to Puget Sound and San Francisco. In his journeyings he found no place whose future prospects seemed brighter than Albany. He has returned satisfied lo stay, and has brought with him a stock of new and fashionable goods, which he is now opening for the inspection of his ..friends and the public generally, in the building adjoining Mr. John Connor, on ' .First street. Drop in and get a sight at the latest styles. Book Agent. Mr. G. W. Brock is canvassing this and adjoining counties for subscribers to Alexander H. Stevens history of the rebellion, and McKenzie's Three Thousand Receipts. The latter work is said to be invaluable to farmers; of the former we cannot speak, not hav ing had the pleasure of its perusal. Live Insurance. The advertisement of the Manhattan Life Insurance Com pany, of New York, appears in our col umns this morning, C P. Ferry, General Agent, and A. J. Gross, Special Agent. This is a number one Company, and fds rates of insurance and general manner of doing business, commends it to public patronage. Mr. Gross, while acting as special agent for this company, is also prosecuting IuJian war claims before the department at Washington. Persons have claims far horses furnished or lost during the Indian campaigns, which have not been adjusted, are advised to put them into the hands of Mr. Gross, who will see to their collection. Lost or Stolen.

For Washing Clothes. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the "Automatic Clothes-Washer and Boiler," in to-day's paper. The genuine merit, cheapness and simplicity of this labor saving vessel is causing it to become a universal favorite wherever it has been used.
