.',-;'. ' Vrom Oregon;
From the Van Burtn Democrat, pub
lished at Bonaparte, Iowa.oi' March 22d
we get the following communication,
dated : 'l -jh.t ' " 'r
Albany, Or., March 12, 1871.
I am here comparatively among stran
gers, but good and. kind friends, am at
leisure, and thinking some of your nu
merous readers would like' to hear some
thing of this far off country I sketch you
a lew items. ; 'j-. ,-f- .- r :,;, '
Portland is the tradiugpoint of Oregon,
where the most of the merchants get
their supplies. It is on tho west side of
tlia Willamett river ; about 20 miles
from its junction. with the Columbia river.
Such ships as fomc into the river Can
come up to lorilantl, 5 he. rpjlroadtlsat
runs up the 'Willamette -valley, whieS'in
completed 100 miles, commences on the
east aide of the river. : Next above; Port-,
laud, is Oregon City, at the falls oo the
Willamette river, these falls afford an
abundance of water power, which is be
in t; used to advaotae, by mills and facto
ries. The falls are 40 to 50 - feet high'.
Next above this point is Satem, the capi
tal tf the State, add a fine, prosperous
town it is. Nest above tLia point, is Jef
ferson on the Santiatn river, but a short
distance above where it empties into the
Willamette. Next above this is Albany,
the county seat of Linn county, the best
county I believe in the State. . ?
Albany is situated on the Willamette
river, at the junction of the Calapooia
with the Willamette, which affords the
water power that is necessary and is be
ing used by two first class mills, one run
ning five pairs of burrs and the other
three. There is a forty thousand dollar
court house and the county has a ten
thousand dollar jail under contract, which
will be built this summer. The O. & C.
Railroad has a fine d:pot house, freight
house and engine house here and are do
ing prosperous business. . Albany has a
population of about 2,000, industrious,
intelligent, virtuous, temperate, clever
an J hospitable people as 1 have ever been
among. Albany has a Rood wharf and
steamboats land at it every day. Aud
what is strange I have not seen a drunk
man since I have been here, although
there are six saloons. This speaks . well
for the morals of the counlry.
The peopla dress as fine and are up
with the fashions ns close as the people of
the more eastern States are, and know as
well what are good manners and how to
treat their fellow man, as tho most fas
tidious in the older states east or in any
direction. The climate i very mild, but
rainy in the winter; rose bushes and
other shrubs are putting out their leaves.
Yours, Jamjcs Shepherd.

Gamier, the renowned billiardist, has
been playing extraordinary pranks with
the cue and balls in ' Buffalo. The Ex
press of that city says:
A glance howed tho man to be an ea
thusiast. From the moment he took the
cue in hand and rolled the balls upon the
table, he was apparently on fire with ex
citement. His eye blazed,- and every
movement, was made with a quickness
and spring indicative of a hi;h-struag
nervous system. He played billiards oo
tho table, on top of , the cushions, in
the air and on the floor, performing mar
vels which, without being seen, would by
most men bo eetued impassible. Cynlle
Dion explained the shots intended to be
made.
To fitly describe all the wonderful per
formance would be a very difficult task.
He sent his ball flying into the air over
two cues held at some distance above the
table; it alighted by some, to us, inex
plicable force, stopped its progressive
career without touching the cushion, and
returning with a twist and caromed : on
the balls at the same end from which the
shot was made. Then he placed a hat on
the table, and shooting the ball over a
raised cue, it descended again to the ta
ble, described nearly a circle around the
hat. aod caromed on three balls stationed
in the corner. . '
- Then Dion held a ball in his hand some
three feet above the table, and the won
derful billiardist caromed on that and the
balls at different j oints on the table.
He then shot at a ball on the table, 'and
hitting it, h's ivory jumped on the top of
the cushion, and ruuuing along some dis
tance, caromed on a ball which had been
placed there. Sixteen balls were then
placed in a corner at the head of the table,
aod rapidly shooting them one after an
other about all the cushions, they finally
came together in the opposite end with
out a colision. ,
These are only a few of tho wonderful
feats he performed. He would shoot his
ball straight for the opposite end of the
table, and traversing nearly the entire
distance it would, without touching cither
cushion or any other ball,' suddenly re
turn to the staring point. The master
hand made the ball perform all manner
of inconceivable turns and twists, describ
ing semi-circles, the figures, the letter S,
and so on, and caroming on balls stationed
on tr.e table in the most aitncuit posi
tions, upon the cushions, and even upon
the floor. When the exhibition was con
cluded the spectators all concurred in the
opinion that Buffalo had never previous
ly witnessed Buoh billiards.

Some years ago Hon. Horace Greely; in
a lecture before a Press Club, remarked :
"It is strange I ow close the people read
papers. .We never .say anything that
anybody don't like but what we soon hear
of it, and everybody tells us ' about
it. But if once io a while we- bap
pen to say a good thing .we never bear
that nobody seems to notice that.- We
ill ay pay soma man compliments and
give him a dozen puffs, and be takes it 'as
a tribute to bis greatness and never thinks
anything about it, never thinks it docs
him any good. But if wa happen, to say
something that he imagines reflects on
bini or his character, see how quick he
flies up ead gets mad about it. All our
evil is dly charged to us, but we never,
apparcatly. get any credit for what good
we dc." Every editor of a years growth,
knows the truth of what Horace speaks.
