F j ALBANY REGISTER. G &lbtt gsit. LOCAL MATTERS. Our Highways. Everything per taining to the convenience or welfare of the public, is properly regarded as legitimate subjects of nevsaper criti cism. The condition of the roads lead ing out of Albany affords a good theme to begin on. We have not traveled over many of them lately, tint the few we have struggled through left lasting im pressions. As the vehicle in which we rode squelched its way wearily through deep ruts, occaslonly ka-slouching into a deep hole ami making the waterand mud fly one of which (mud a gob) spat us under the right eye tlien roll ed its miring way through extensive sheets of confined water, overlaying treacherous mud-bed, we were dis gusted into a train of cogitation. Why thus? ran our cogitation. What is to prevent thee roads from being ren dered passable in the rainy season, save a mistaken notion ot economy, ig norance or negligence? During the dry season these highways are splen did, pefectly satistactory. and are not worked, but just about the time the raiu setsln, or a little betore, the su pervisor ploughs up the places which were bad the winter before, piles on a lot of dirt, and so the rain finds it and uses it. Asanextenslvcalmost bottom le mud-bed. it is.a grand success, and the fanner who wishes to go to China by au earth passage, h Mie only one who will have the temerity to try to travel it with a load. But then many of the bad places are not worked at all. There are, two roads connecting this place with Corvallis, both of which are ;i disgrace. The one in Linn county has some places impassable with loads, lia ving been worked just right to bring about that result. Some of the bridges, too. one in particular a large bridge some three miles or so this side ot Cor vallis is dangerous to cross with scary teams, beiug entirely without railing. It is a very high bridge, and is not safe without a railing on the sides. The Benton county road is properly pro tected so tar as the bridges are conn-rued, but parts at tlie road are su premely wretched, though a little bet ter, maybe, than the one on this side. Now both of these roads can bs made good and safe, and should be. The ruts and holes should be filled up with gravel during the dry season, and the water basins should be draineo. tilled up with gravel, bridged, or the road changed to avoid them, it will pay to do it, and the proper authorities who liave the sHjiervisioii of such matters. -Iioiild attend to it. The persons liv: ing along these roads, and all inter ested in them, should do tlieir pert by Iietition, or otherwise, In urging these improvements. The same remarks ap ply to other roads.

That tlie members of tlie Bar in attendance at the present term of our Circuit Court, received the intel ligence of the death of Hon. N . H. Cranor with feelings of profound sor row. By his long and honorable ser vice at tlie Bar, distinguished by uni form courtesy and khnuiess of demean or as well as by eminent ability and profound learning, he endeared him self to all his professional brethren ; ; and now, at the close of his early ca reer they will singly give to his mem ory this public expression of tlieir re- i speet and regard. i itmlred. That in the death of N. I H. Cranor the State has been bereaved of a citizen whose usefulness was ac knowledged by all. and of a man who never sought to evade any public or private duty ; of mild and unassuming manners, lie was tirin and unfaltering ; ill noble purposes. In his profession be w as among the purest and ablest of nis associates. :mu vte (xinit mm yuuc I at the record of a life well spent in the ; labors of a profession to which he has i left the priceless legacy ot a spotless name and the example of all that may be achieved by patient industry and persistent labor. After which, remarks expressive I of the high regard and esteem in which the deceased was held by members of the Bar, and of his acquaintances, of - condolence with his family, and the great loss sustained by the State and county of which lie has so long been an honored citizen, were made by tlie : members of tlie Bar generally. On motion of D. M. Kisdon. Eq., : the resolutions were unanimously adopted.

He was an indus trious, honest, strictly temperate, and liberal minded gentleman, and leaves a vacancy In tlie community which will not be easily filled. Peace to his ashes. Ti:iRP SfjsMON. The Register has been appointed to print tlie acts, reso lutions, etc, of the third session of tiie forty-seem f wigresa. OiR Poos. We are Informed that there are some worthy people iuour midst, who, through a series of mis fortunes and affliction, liave been brought to the doors of want, and really demand the charities of our peo ple. We believe we have but to inen tiou the fact to secure for them that at tention from our citizens tliat their wants demand. We understand that the Good Templar have already taken the matter in hand, and propose in a tew weeks, giving an entertainment at their hall, tlie proceed to lie devoted to alleviating tlie necessities ot any who may be found iu need In our city. In the meantime, however, they should not be allowed to suffer, and we hope some good Samaritan will look into this matter at once. Matrimonial. We are indebted to Deputy County Clerk. Queener, for the list of marriage licenses istied dur ing December, as follows : Charles Simpson and M. J. Cartwriglit; W. N. Savage and Susan E. Ray ; Geo. D. Feebler and Julia A. Smith ; P. AV.

Ye junior of tlie Reoistkr and wife were happy participants of both these at the residence of Mr. (ins. Layton on New Years day. The company was good and the viands gooder. We wish tbe hospitable host and hotess tlie return of many happy New Years. Falling Off. There seems to lie a dearth of marriageable people in Linn county, as there was a decrease in mar riage licenses issued for last as against the previous year, of fourteen. For the year 1872, 81 licenses were issued, while during 1871, 92 was the number. We call upou the lads and lasses of Old Linn to see that 1878 shows no such deficit. New Dress.

A desire to p!eae. coupled with rears of existence In the business, will make success iu his hands certain. New Years Day Was one of al ternate sunshine and clouds; slight rainfdls and hail-storms. Nature seemed to be undetermined whether to make it lively or rough for humanity; so It was mixed alternate smiles and tear. Sufii B.
