LOCAL MATTERS.
Carriage Manufactory. A gen
tlemiu from Chicago, Mr. Woodruff,
for years largely engaged in that city
la the manufacture of carriages,
buggies, etc., has purchased property
in llolladay's addition to the city of
- Albany, and is now engaged in erec
ting buildings thereon, both for resi
dence and shops. His intention is to
enter largely into tlie manufacture of
all kinds of wheeled vehicles, and
having large experience and ample
capital lie will doubtless achieve ' a
grand success. He will soon be fol
lowed by eight families from Chicago,
painters, blacksmiths, etc., who will
be employed in the factory. As
dwellings are to be erected in the im
mediate vicinity of the factory tor all
the employees, next season will wit"
iiess quite a little city in llolladay's
addition. Tims will another industry
be added to those already in operation
in our city, adding largely to its wealth
and importance. Every branch of in
dustry calculated to build up and in
crease our "productive facilities should
be carefully fostered by our citizens,
and the parties interested in them
should receive the kindest encourage
ment from every person interested in
the growth and future development of
Albany. Mr. Woodruff has our
heartiest wishes for success, and we
bid him and his a kind welcome to
: Albany.
CmnsTM as Thee. A Christmas tree
under the au?pices of the M. 13. Sun
day School will be erected at the Court
House on Saturday night, December
33d. It is requested that all persons
lesiring to put presents on the tree
will please to bring them, properly
labeled, the card having the name
plainly written upon, and sewed on
, the article, so that it will not easily
become detached. It is ao" desired
that all presents be brought in pre
vious to twelve o'clock M. of Saturday,
so that the Committee may have time
- enouch to arrange them on the tree.
The Committee will be on hand to
receive them from 9 A. M. until
twelve o'clock M.
Watery Reflections. These
damp foggy morning?,' sweating days
and dripping nights, offer fine atmos
pheres in which to develop a clear
type' of moroseness, and cultivate a
splendid species of solemeholly. The
atmosphere cannot be cut with a knile
exactly, but it is an ever present verity,
insinuating its dampness through the
pores of one's clothing to. .'the very
bare, and going through the inhalers
down into the insides, and then keep
ing up a perpetual state of dampness
inside and out, and throughout. A
man is facetiously represented as
twelve pounds of solid matter wet up
in six pale3of water ; but the in
dividual who got that up never resided
in Oregon, or he would-have put in
more water. We believe in water.
We like water. Water is good. It
runs, and sloshes, and drips, and we
would drink it we used to drink it
but this damp, foggy, rainy weather
jblimte one's appetite for water. There
are more than six pails of water slush
ing around tho?e twelve "pounds ot
solid matter, and there is no famine,
or parched place asking for drink in
the whole system. Such a freshet is
dampening to one's enjoyment. As a
watery potato is not good, so this
state of atmospheric damp-
general
ness is "no goot" to one's cheerfulness.
Comk Out. A meeting was held at
Odd Fellow's Hall on Thursday night,
for the purpose of arranging for a grand
time, sometime during the holidays
an exhibition, fair, sociable, or some
thing of that kind the object being to
raise funds for charitable purposes. A
committee of three ladies and ditto
gentlemen were appointed to get up a
programme and decide on the time and
place for holding the affair. This
committee is to report this (Saturday),
evening, at Odds Fellow's Hall, and a
general invitation is extended to our
citizens, ladies ami gentlemen, to grace
the occasion with their presence. We
can have a massive time and accom
plish a worthy deed if our people gen
erally will take hold of the matter.
Come out to-nirht.
"""ire. On Friday evening of last
week a coal oil lamp in the hands of
Mr. Dow, of Dow & Crane, burst,
sending its contents over the wearing
apparel of Mr. Dowand among the
iwxes filled with boots and shoes in
the store. By great presence of mind
Mr. Dow succeeded in extinguishing
his burning clothing, and, with the
help of others, , the burning oil on
door and boxes. While the fire pro
are3sed it made a brilliant light, and
got up a big scare. Our fire boys
were a3 prompt a3 usual, but fortunate
ly their Services were not needed.
IvAILROad Accident. A construc
tion or gravel train ran off the track
ot' the O. & C. Railroad at Harrisburg
last 'week, owing to, the displacement
of the switch, upsetting several flat
cars, loaded with gravel and Chinamen,
the gravel falling on the Chinamen,
killing two and injuring two other3 so
severely that they died a few days
afterwards.
New Outfit. A supplement from
tho West Side . office, McMlnnville,
d-tted Dec. 8th, announces that an en
tire new outfit has been procured, and
that the paper will' appear hereafter

Auction and Commission. Mr. II.
Weed has secured the building now
occupied by Messrs. Thompson &Irv
ing as a saddle and harness shop, and
about the 20th instant will open there
in an auction and commission store
for the sale of all kinds of commodi
ties. Parties wishing articles disposed
of at auction will find in Mr. Weed a
gentleman every way qualified to at
tend to the business. . Administrators
and othei-3 wishing the service of a
first-class, auctioneer, are advised to
call on Mr. Weed, who lias an ex
perience of many years in the busi

quests us to say that he will be much
obliged to parties who have been
stealing the widow Robert's wood, if
they will steal all they intend to be
fore he goes up north, so that he can
make arrangements to supply the
deficiency thus created. This is a
reasonable re piest, and the thieves are
most unreasonable if they do not
comply with it,
Married. Ruel Custer and Mr3.
Lines were remarried, at the residence
of D. Mansfield, in this city, on Thurs
day evening, Judge Johns tieing the

News from France up to the 9th j
inst. states that a change . in the
French Government is imminent.
Thiers is to relinquish the Presiden
cy in favor of the Duke d'Aumale.
This is the agreement, and will be
effected directly. The Orleans
Princes will then take their w?ats.
The inability of Thiers to with
stand the hostile influence of the
members of the Right, and the in
creasing power of the ' Imperialists
in the army, are the causes leading
to this change.
'; At a banquet given by the
Knights of the Order of St. George,
at St. Petersburg, December 9th,
the Czar was present. In toasting
the Emperor of Germany the Czar
said he hoped that the intimate
friendship which existed between
that monarch and h'mself would
last as. long as they lived and be
carried down to future generations,
and that the fraternity of the arm
ies of Germany and lJussia would
be preserved. Thus would be con
stituted one of the guarantees for
the maintenance of peace in Europe.

"If the Democracy want a really
passive candidate," says the Chicago
Post, malevolently, "let us recommend
General McClellan."
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser says it is admit
ted on all sides that the income tax
law will be prepared the coming win
der. The total disbursements to the army
during the past year were $118,54,073,
of which $3.6S3,I72 was paid in the
sliape of back pay and bounty to vol
unteers. The IlvratV dispatch says that Sen
ator Sumner is preparing an active
fight to aUlish tlie Internal Revenue
Commissionership. JJTe iwill bej sus
tauwd by a majority Of leading Seua-

A Washington special says that
Sumner will not accept the Chairman
ship of the Committee on Klections,
assigned to him by the Senate caucus.
Tlie St. Louis Democrat has com
menced figuring on the result of tg
Presidential elections next year. It
thinks that if Grant be renominated lie
will secure 150 electoral votes out ot
319.
Frank Blair thinks that if Grant is
re-elected it will depopulate the South
of whites. Frank has acted once be
fore the role of a prophet, aud we
all know with what success. His
latest prediction is as foolish as his for
mer one was, viz.: that Grant after his
election, "would declare himself dic
tator." Tlie St.' Louis Republican gives a list
of forty-nine Democratic papers in
Missouri who favor the policy of mak
ing no Democratic nominations for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency
in 1872.
An Iri-h Judge said, when address
ing a prisoner, "You are to be hanged,
and I hope it will be a warning to
you."
