"GAT" PLOWS,
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
165 and 7'5.
THE simplicity and practicability of this now
Plow commends tt favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses s decided
superiority over ail other plows now in use. The
wheels are four Jeet itr diameter, and run on the
nnplowed land. Its entire, construction is in no
way complicated.. The plow ia managed in every
msnoef with ease, and-, reqsirea only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe
riority of the "Gay" Plow: will be clearly shown
by the following certificate . ;. . ,
- We the undersigned; citfcfens of Lisa county,
Uregon, Baring purenasea aaa used Upon our
farms .the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us en tire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moviog from the seat. Is simple and easy. Wo
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly npos the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron-oo castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land ia aa ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in atrikinar off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the machmery, and tb seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Bettor-work and
more of it eaa be accomplished by the tst of this
Plow than by hand. , ,
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior is Oregon. - . . 4- -

' Campmeeting. The members of the
M. E. Church comprising the Albany
circuit will hold a eampmeeting, com
meneiog on the 7th of Jftly next, and if
the weather prove favorable, will continue
it over two Sabbaths. The grounds se
lected for the purpose are about threo
miles south of this city, on the west bank
of the, Calipooia river, on the farm of Mr.
Hughes. It ia in the midst of a beauti
ful grove of maple and fir, and is easy of
access from every quarter. Tuesday, the
28th of June, ia tbe day selected for the
meeting of those who will aid in putting
the grounds in order. Any wishing to
open a boarding house faring the can
tiuuance of .the meeting, should notify
the pastor, Ber. H." C. Jenkins, of the
fact. . ' ' . ' -'
Ho-sos Worthily Bestowed. We
see that the services and eminent ability
of Rev. T. S. Kendall, one of the pioneers
of Oregon and whose home is in Linn
county,, but who is at present spending a
few months in the East in attendance on
the General Assembly of the United
Presbyterian Church, has been duly ac
knowledged by his unanimous selection,
by that body composed of the. leading
divines of the Church in the United
States, as Moderator, or President, to
preside over the deliberations of the pres
ent session. The henor could not have
been more worthily bestowed.
.
Pickled Salmon. Messrs. P, C.
Harper & Co. have received a supply of
pickled salmon, the last catch of the
present scaeon, and which were pot tip at
or near Astoria o the Columbia river,
which arc without an exception the very
best sample of cured Ealmon ever put
upon the market. . The fish were in the
finest condition when "caught, and have
been put np in a superior manner. We
predict that after our epicures get a taste
of them, they will disappear like hot
cakes. Go to Harper's and invest.
Married. On last Sabbath evening,
at the "M. E. Church in this city, just
previous to the evening's sermon, Rev'.
Mr. Monteith joined together in bonds
matrimonial, Mr. Fred. Hill and Miss
Julia Driggs. The church edifice was
crowded to suffocation with the relatives
and friends of the handsome and happy
pair, who joined in wishing them all of
happiness that earth can bring. -
Machinery. Messrs. Blaio, Young
k Co. are prepared to furnish our farm
ers with the latest and best threshers and
cleaners, reapers, mowers, headers, &c,
at very reasonable figures. They are
selling an unusual number of machines
the. present season. Our farmers seem
determined to take no "chances" on the
coming harvest, but each is securing his
own machine. The "Baine wagon" also
takes well. " . "

. ' r Alhany, OKgon,
IN presenting'the claims of this NEW KNIT
i TINU MACHINE to popular favor, we aim
at no more than a brief and candid statement of
its actual merits. We confidently claim that the
CLIMAX KNITTER is superior to all other ma
chines in the follwing respects :
l.j Simplicity of construction and operation.
' 2. Completeness and excellence of work. " '
3. Convenience of shape, sise aad weight of
machine.--
4. Durability of machine.
5. Rapidity of work. -0-
Cheapness. : v . "
It is so simple in its construction and in. its
workings,- that less than half the time is required
to learn to knit oa it than on others. : ' With it the
children of the household can do all the knitting.
It is made entirely of iron and steel. A aau s
sock can be made in thirty minute. It makes
the regular old old-fashioned knitting , needle
stitch or loop, (with several others -i desired);
turns the heel, making it of as good shape aa by
hand, without any sewing ; narrows or widens,
at the pleasure of the operator, sad makes a per
fect toe. .. Any article that eaa be knit by hand,
can he manufactured on this machine. .
Persons who wish to see the machine la opera
tion, are requested tc raU on the agent in this city.

"Won't Come to Time." The prin
cipal speaker at the Democratic- ratifica
tion meeting in this city on Saturday
night last, sometime after the speaking
was over, made so much noise while
attempting to get into his buggy to return
from ; whence he came, that prominent
Democrats here became ashamed of him,
and delegated the assistance he needed to
others.: This was not relished by ilUe
first thing on the programme," and he
made ' the remark .that "Linn ' county
Democrats are good fellers, but they (hie)
don't come to. time I" v.; :
Afraid op their MEN.--Mr. A. C.
Jones, in his speech last Saturday night,
was particularly severe on Democrats who
are given to "selling out," and intimated
that terrible punishment awaited Demo
cratic members of the Legislature should
they dare to sell out to Ben Holladay 1
Now what in thunder did tho man mean ?
Does lie suspect anybody in particular of
standing ready to tarn his vote into gold,
or does he jud&e from personal ex t eriencef
If he thinks he can put his finger oa the
man who can be purchased by that ter
rible "corruption fund" said to be ia Ben
Holladay' bands, and whieh makes some
Demoerata so nervous, wbv don't ha 4o
it t Point oat the man, that b.e may be
annihilated! But does Jones really
know anything ; and if so, how many ?
Tbe Commercial says the Orezon Con
tral Railroad surveys have been comple
ted, and estimates made for the first
twenty utiles toward McMmnvuJe. ,
A Bia Scare. Democracy at present
is en a "big scare." Members or tn
party are constantly asserting that Holla-
day, now that they are "dead sore" of a)
majority in the Legislature, intends to
buy np that body, nd run it. This is
not tho most complimentary to the newly
elected members, and shows a great lack
j confidence somewhere. If Ben will
only give his word that there shall be oo
preferred stock" in this little purchaser
he is going to make, but that all shall
share alike, he will do much, to quiet the
agitated breasts of these honest and vir
tuous Democrats I'i r ; . t ; -- ; - r ' .
Cot it TaicK.-Tte parties who got "
up the transparencies for the DotoocTatio
torchlight .procession on last Saturday
night, cut it most too thick. ' Their most
pointed transparencies reflected somewhat
severely, and without cause, upon tfc
political character of life-long Democrat,
who are not disposed to let new recruits, -
coming in at tne last hour, run the
machine at their expense. . A slight dis
agreement, resulting in a black eye, be
tween two Democrats, wound up the great
and glorious ratification meeting. ,
Medical.; Tho 'Salem Medical and
Surgical Reporter, tot Juns, is a very
interesting number, and should be lead
carefully by those who' are in search of
facts gleaned in -the experience of ablo
and successful medical practitioners!
Editor Register: The poor apology,
offered as a ratification, of Democratic
victory, which came off in Albany on
Satusday night last, demands at the hands
