the buggy 111 which they had been
riding, did. on Inst Sunday, They had
hitched the team attached to tlie bug

passed by, creating such a desire in
the said team to go, that they broke
fa-tenings and wc.it in their wild
race spreading that buggy over quite a
large section of country.

TnK Foam. Everybody and his

brating the glorious Fourth. Long
before old Sol had slid out of hlscloud
eovorlng iu tlie East, the drowsy pub
lie were awakened by deafening sa
lutes from the cannon's (anvil's) open
mouth, followed by tlie report of small
arm.-, lire-crackers and sich. The day
opened finely, "and all nature put oil

,on tire day -We speak of (Thursday of

and Marshaled by A. X. Arnold. Esq.,
inarched through the principal streets
and then out to the Fairgrounds, the
Band thewhiie dispersing most excel
lent music. And then commenced the
rush of our liberty-loving people for
"new ileitis and pastures green," un
til there- was scarcely a vestige of hu
manity left upon our streets, so deter
mined were all to celebrate our natal
day. The speech ot Mr. Curl, of Sa
lem, orator of the occasion, was ap
preciated by those who heard it t
are sorry to say that we were not
among the number, arriving too late.
The crowd in attendance was larger
than usual, mid they spread out over
the grounds enjoying the contents of
lunch-bagkets, &c. Dancing prevailed
in the pivitiou to a unanimous extent,
and much perspiration was engender
ed thereby. Those who, unfortunate
ly, were unacquainted, didn't have
any lunch or lunch-baskets, couldn't
wouldn't, or didn't like dancing, and,
owing to the limited number of seats,
could lind a place in the pavilion on
which to "squat," bad the blessed
privilege of reclining on Hie grass
carpeted earth, or of promenading to
their hearts content. It was a glori
ous day, and warm enough for linen
coats. About half past two o'clock
P. M., when all nature was calmly
looking on and enjoying this peaceful
and gorgeous scene, and when the ear
nival of sweet sounds bad reached its
"perihelion," a medley of outlandish
sliapes, grotesque figures, caricatures
of humanity, known as Plug I'glies,
made their appearance on the grounds,
throwing the vast audience, hitherto
so peaecfu!, into spasms ol excitement
and turmoil. The pavilion was de-
I sericti m a iwuiKiing ; music was at a
discount, dancing below "average,"
and well, the Plugs were a success
the biggest feature iu the grand fete.
Xot to make this story too lengthy,
we take occasion to remark right here
that, after the Plugs had retired,
thing; generally resinned their normal
condition on the grounds, and jolarity
reigned supreme till a late hour iu
the day. It wasa pleasant day; there
was no dninkeuncss or boisterous con
duct at any time to disturb or mar the
happiness of any. So lar as we know
the managers of tlie celebration get
! general credit for carrying out Ibe
j published programme to the very let
ter, and they are entitled to general
commendation for their exertions hi
securing so pleasant a time for our
people on the last Fourth ot duly.
CAMiiiEirriNo at Robert's Biiidoe.
The meeting opued a week ago last
Thursday lime 27th and held until
the 8th hist. The meeting has been
productive of much good, sonic thirty
or forty persons hiving made a pro
fession of religion and been added to
the church. On tlie 1th a grand tem
perance meeting was held on the
grounds and several eloquent speeches
were made. A vote taken on the suli
ject of a prohibitory liquor law, proved
that cleven-twelllhs of the audience
were in favor of the passage by our
Legislature of such a law. On last
Sunday ten or more persons were Imp
tized, on which occasion the audience
was one of the largest ever assembled
in Linn county, being estimated at
over 5,000 people.
Got Back. Mr. Belding and fami
ly, who left us a few short months
since for Minnesota, returned to this
city on Wednesday. He says he is
glad he went back, as he would never
have been perfectly satisfied of tlie im
approachableiiess of Oregon, If he
hadn't visited Minnesota again. He
don't propose to look for a better
country than this on the globe.
O.NK Ht'KUREH Galiss. One

We went out tlie other day and got

ing one afternoon, and It wasn't a
good day either.
ExcrnsKJJf. The raBroid excur
sion on the 4th was a big tiling, mid
was a source of enjoyment to n large
number of people all over tlie State.
We bavo not learned the exact amount
realized for the M. E. Church of this
city, for which the excursion was got
ten np by Rev. C. W. Shaw, but hope
1 that it will toot up enough to pay all
the debt on the church building,
and something over. Mr. Sliaw, at
least, has done a noble work, and it the
cry of small jwx had not been faised,
I the receipts would have been near
double what they were, enabling him
to erect a new and substantial Library
building, lilling it with good, substan
tial literature, and (browing it open for
theusoofonreltlzens. We are sorry tlmt
any citizen of Albany should be short
sighted enough to throw any obstacle
iu the way of what was intended to be
for the good of the whole public. We
say that Mr. Shaw has, by his enter
prise and business tact as shown in the
management of the excursion on the
4th, especially for om benefit, earned
and should receive the highest encomi
ums from our people.

7'iie Japanese ladies, having in
