The. coal vein recently discovered on Beaver J-"" Creek, i "tributary bf tha South Santiani, f upon a thorough examination, is proving to be a 'big taing" for the owners. A company has been organized ' and the work of developing the vein has ; been inaugurated.'; Specimens of ; the coal, taken from the vein a few feet from the 'surface shows it , to be superior to the same article , brought here from Paget pouna -wie miners "go aown on the vein it increases in width '" and rich ness. It will be but a short time ere an abundance ' of coal .from '. the Beaver Creek minoi will be offered in our mark et, at very fair rates, thus "cutting ia"on the charcoal business to a grent extent. .SliouM the efforts now making to secure a small steamer for the navigation of the Sautiain succeed, coal from these mines can ba laid down in this city in short order at a very reasonable rate. It seems to be the firm conviction of all acquaint ed with the river, that it can be success- fully and profitably navigated as far up at least as Lebanon, and to piove the sincerity of their belief they are willing to aid iu a liberal manner any man or company that will undertake the enter prise. Let some wide awake, enterr ris ing man look into the matter j it may prove a Letter investment thau the first glance would fecui to indicate. Good chances for liiukin a "bi;r raise" on a small capital are riut so plenty that this matter tnny be passed with impunity. Christmas Tuee. The Methodist people of this city and their friends, as announced last . week, enjoyed their Christui is festival at the Court House ou Saturday night. Three large trees were erected, tastefully ornamented and brill iantly illuminated, on the branches of which were hua, iu rich profusion, some Gve hundred presents varying in value from a splendid gold watch and chain and splendid sets of jewelry to a stick of candy or a cigar. A short address was delivered by Kev. Mr. Todd, the Metho dist pastor, and the occasion was enliven ed by excellent vocal and instrumental music. The spacious court room was crowded to its fullest capacity by as merry and happy an audience as ever went a Christmas treeing. Great credit is due Mr. Harry Kuhn, who had charge of the whole matter and brought it to so successful and pleasant an issue4 ? -On Satur- Pajjokama. Dore's celebrated pano rama of Milton's Paradise Lost, will be exhibited at Parish Hall in this city on Saturday evening (to-night), the canvass moving at half past seven o'clock. This celebrated painting, has received the highest praise of the press, everywhere throughout the United. States, and as a satisfactory evidence of its great popu larity those who have once seen it express a desire to attend the exhibition again say they cannot see it too often. As the exhibition is for one evening only? of course everybody will want to go, and a full house will be the result. Those desiring choice scats should go early. : Removal. By reading the new ad vertisement elsewhere it will be seen that Messrs. A. Carothcrs & Co. haven removed their largestock of drugs, chem icals, paints, oib, essences, etc., ' to 1 the Foster brick on First street, which ; they have filled up iu the neatest and most tasty manner. The energy, enterprise and accommodation of this firm, although in business but a few months in the city, has secured them a large and paying business. You are invited to call and see them in their new quarter. The Show. Barney & Taylor gave an entertainment in " Parish 1 Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, to tolerable audiences. ' Barney's execution of a medley on one string of his "fiddle" was very good indeed fiddling is decid edly Barney's heavy suit. Taylor's de lineation of Yankee character, description of a miners life, etc , were quite enter taining, in every case "briuging down" the house. His local song, although not extraordinarily brilliant, was equal to the occasion, and seemed to meet the appro bation of the audienee generally. We guess everybody who attended got their nioney'n worth, and that's mote thau we can say of all the shows that come this way. adver- that will Cuutuji sociable .Was held, to V At the ,U. IK diy evening, a wLiehthe public" gcue rally were invited The Occasion was -rendered more than usually attractive i: by ; several elrgantly gotten up and well acted- charades. We were there bnt a few moments, but found everybody su.iling and happy, and that plenty and to spare had bten provided for all in attendance. We believe last Cliist uias was mure geuerally aud thoroughly enjoyed ly our people than for years past. . C'iTllE Ball. The ball given , by the ' Albany Brass Band on the evening of the 2Gth, was a pleasant aud agreeable one, enjoyed hugely by all present. There were som3 hundred persons present, we should judge, all of whom appeared to have come to the party- on purpose to enjoy themselves and they did. The supper, prepared at the St. Charles, was all that could be wished, and puts another feather iu the hat of the pleasant and atteutive lacdlorcL Mr. . Brenner.

A descrip tion of the lands offered can be seen on application at the Company's office in this city." The terms of sale are very favorable to parties with small means Read the advertisement. Scro Items. We glean from the Acs of the 22d the following: Messrs. Wheeler & Odtrander are busily eugaged packing pork. They have received over six hundred head of hogs, for which they paid six cents per pound. 3Ir. A. J. Shiuni had opcued a sing ing school. . ' Rev. Mr. B.tylcs has been selected as resident pastor of the C'nristiau church. He is spoken of as a Hue at speaker and a worthy gentleman. On the 18th our efficient Sheriff, Bob Irvine, collected taxes to the amount of 2,000 in Scto, against 1,400 last year ; the next day, at Frankliu Butte precinct, he collected 1,000, against 900 latt year. The Small pox scare is all over in Scio all the patients having recovered. The iVeit-i thinks lift ecu mills, tho present taxation iu Liun county, rather steep for a county that is out of debt, and thinks it would prove a '"big thing" for the party iu power if it would reduce the figures. HOW TO OBTAIN LKTTER3 PATENT. We are indebted to Messrs. Munn & Co., publishers of the Scientific American, Xew York city, tor a copy "Instructions How to obtain Letters Patent," a neatly printed work of more than one hundred pages. ,.

On Wednesday the railroad track south of this city had been laid to a point half a mile beyond Oak ereck four miles from the depot, ; Local Paragraphs. Sidewalks and street crossings are being rapidly constructed, as per order of the Council, on the south side of Sixth street, from Ellsworth to EHh streets, a distance of eight blocks. Judge Cranor has had constructed a neat picket fence around his residence on First and Lyon streets. The Register folks bow their com pliments to Mr. Brenner, of the St. Charles, for a nice New Years cake. Mr. Du Boise kindly remembered the Register during the week. May he never be tnub'e l with corns. Lnder: the combined influence of warmer winds and slight mists, the skating business has received a back set that, in all probability, it will not recover from cntil next winter. " Fgg-nogg and sich were plentiful aud popular on Christmas eve in our burg. Jack Ciouse gave the railroad attachees a splendid Christmas dinner at his own 1 expense. ! Services were held at all the churches of this city on Christmas, we believe. The mail fiom the north arrives at half past twelve o'clock each day. Tho locomotive Portland draws the gravel train between this city and Jef ferson ; i tha Clackamas, the gravel train for grading south, and the J. Ji. Stephen still draws the construction train.

Fifteen men were engaged shingling" on the railroad passenger hoase Thurs day, i ; A new; grocery store will soon be opened in the room occupied by A., Carothors & Co., on First street.

The passenger depot will soon be iu readiness for occupation. It is a neat structure.

Last Saturday was a rusher lor our business houses generally, and huge quantities of dry goods, etc., disappeared from shelves and counters. Remember the Panorama this evening, at Parrish Hall. ! A pleasant dancing party came off at Mr. John -Beard's, seven miles from Albany, ou last evening.
