LOCAL MATTERS.
Trac Papsrtcnvis Wheat Crop.
I'lider the heading! "The Wheat
Crops of Europe nod California." in
an article in the S. F. Chronicle of a
late date, we find some statements,
which, if they prove true, will give
our Oregon termers a chance to till
their pockets to overflowing in tlie
coming season. There is reason to
fear (hope), says the paper, that the
next English harvest will le still more
deficient that) the hist liiil to he 500,
000.000 husliels ot wheat), and also
that the deficiencies will extend to
other countries. The weather ltas been
cold and wet far months past, and the
jieriod at which the grata should be
planted in good condition has consid
erably advanced, as it has also in the
continental countries. The entire sup
ply ot grain will be exhausted in the
European markets, making a large
demand tor Pacific Coast wheat. The
recent warm, copious rains of Cali
fornia, giving promise of an abundant
crop there, and the fact that the wheat
crop in Oregon never fails, will un
doubtedly bring an unusually large
amount of tonnage to this coast ; so
that with abundant crop, low freights,
with undoubtedly a large number of
buyers in the market, making compe
tition lively our fanners will surely
obtain Iietter prices for wheat than
they have ever yet been able to obtain.
Our fanners, too. next year, will be in
a better condition, financially, to hold
their crops tor the highest rates. Tlie
idea held out through the entire ai tide
is, that tlie coining season will be a
most prosperous one for the grain
growers. Of coin-, our prominent
Interest is agriculture : our prosperity
depends entirely 011 tlie success of our
termers; give them abundant crops,
good prices and low freights, and the
whole State prospers. If we were
going to give advice to the farming
community, we should say, put every
available acre in cultivation, and put
the crop in well ; for we believe from
the present outlook that prices will lie
paging one fir tlie coming year, and
tlie larger the yield tlie greater your
proerity and ours.
Sew To-Dav. Messrs. Blain.
Young & Co. have a column advertise
ment in this issue, to which attention
is directed. .By keeping constantly on
hand a very large augment of gen
eral merchandise, securing the latest
novelties in dress goods, etc.. and sell
ing on the most liberal and advantage
ous terms to all customers, they have
succeeded in building up n col'osjil
business. By reference to their ad., it
will Iw seen that they not onlv deal in
dry good-", groceries, clothing, etc.,
but they are general agents for the
sale of all kinds of agricultural ma
chinery, plows, wagons, and that bet
friend to woman, sewing machines
in fact, a good depot for almost every
thing useful and ornamental needed by
the citizens ot Albany and Linn coun

Where Did They Get It ? A
couple of IndUus, out at the rauclierie
near the grave-yard, on Sunday, were
on a grand "bender," having obtained
whisky from some source. A little per
sistent inquiry may din-los the name
of tlie party furnishing them wjth the
whisky, who should be made to suiter
the extreme penalty of tlie Jaw.
Estertainmkkt. The Good Tem
plar's eiitertHimueiit, at their hall on
Friday evening of last week, drew a
crowded lmuse. The thrilling drama,
entitled the "Drunkard's Warning,"
was put upon tlie boards, and while
the acting generally was goal, some of
the characters were superbly given,
"bringing down the house" everytime
they made tlieir appearance. Messrs.
George, Langford, Clement, Wads-
wohh,WestlakeandCliue, with Misses
Flora Starr, Lizzie Westiake and
Edith Cowan, were the chief actors in
the drama. This was followed by a
song. "If evert cease to love thee," by
M. M. Hart, who never fails to win
round after round ot applause.
"Dutchieindthrouble." and "deems,
the poet." provoked universal mirth.
As an amateur entertainment it was a
success, and met the general approba
tion of those in attendance.
Volunteer Wheat. One ot the
oldest and best fanners of Linn county,
while in our ofllce one day tills week,
in answer to the question as to how
much grain lie had put in during the
fill, answered that, owing to the late
ness of the season, and for other
reasons, he had not sown any wheat at
all. but that he hat! as pretty a field,
comprising seventy acres, of wheat as
a man need want all volunteer. That
in his long experience as a farmer in
Linn county he had never seen a field
of wheat that gave better prospect for
a big yield than this seventy acres.
That he believed Providence was in
terposing in behalf of the farmer, and
that the volunteer crops next season
would equal, if not prove superior, in
abundant yield, to the crops of the
previous year.
Raymond & wheeler. See the
advertisement of our enterprising
young friends, Raymond & Wheeler,
in this issue. They have fitted up ele
gantly in the Parish brick, and have
the largest stock of school, miscellan
eous and blank books, stationery, etc.,
to lie found in this section of the State.
They also offer a genuine Havana to
those who smoke, and candies and con
fections till you can't rest. The boys
are on it. you bet. and are bound to do
a rushing business. The telegraph
office and Post office is also run by
them. If you want anything in their
line, go for 'em they'll furnish you
on the most liberal terms.
The Kiss Qi-adiiillk. The new
sensation in Washington this Winter
is what polite society is pleased to
term the "Kiss Quadrille." which is
thus described : When It comes to
"swinging comers" each gentleman
kisses his partner ; the grand prome
nade i a kiss all round ; you chaster to
the other side and you kiss your rin-a-ri.
'Grand change" is a grand sa
lute, and when it comes to the jig
everybody kisses everybody. This is
a delicious tcrpsichorean invention,
and gives variety to the mazy dance.
It is the next best thing to the games j
and plays at the old-fashioned qullt
ing and apple-pearings of boyhood's
happy days. It is indeed true that
society, like history, repeats itself. ,
Attend. In our columns last week
there appeared a notice, calling upon
the fanners ot District Jfo 25 to meet
at McFarknd'a School-house at 1
o'clock P.M. of the lSth Inst, to-morrow,
to take the necessary steps to
ward the formation ofa Fanner's Club.
We expect to be enabled to chronicle
the teet mat the farmers of District
Xo. 25 were out in full force at the
time mentioned and that a strong
Club was organized. Societies of this
kind are lieing organized all over the
State, and if rightly managed, cannot
tell to be of vast benefit to tlie agricul
tural interest.
SrxiiAV Law Enforced. Last
Sunday, for tlie first time since the en
actment of the Sunday Law, the sa
loons were all dosed, and our citizens
I etijoyed a peaceful aivl quiet day. All
! 88100,1 ",e" we toHere. submitted
j willingly and cheerfully to ti e enforce-
meutofthe law. Our new Marshal
hits made a good commencement : all
lovers of law and order, we are satis
fied, will stand by him while lie thns
endeavors to carry out the strict letter
of the law.

Some one lias said : " All's well
that ends well and has a good begin
ning." Such a beginning hud the New
Year at my country home, near
Brownsville. Atau early hour parish
ioners and triends began to arrive and
continued, till a goodly number had
collected. Our house was taken pos
session of, and a table spread, literally
groaning under the weight ot pies,
sweet-cttkes,lMjellies, chickens, turkey,
etc. Discussing such a dinner and tlie
various topics of the day. it is needless
to say it passed away very pleasantly.
Preparing to disperse, our triends pre
sented us with some very substantial
tokens of friendship, not the. least ot
which was a substantial new spring
wagon, worth some two hundred dol
lars. We take this public method of
returning thanks to the donors. May
the munificent gttti of this day be re
turned in blessings fo all concerned.

HARKISDlRb COHRESPOSrOESiCE.
H arkishckg, Jan. I6th, 1878.
Ed. Register: The iast week has
been one of unusual excitement and
anxiety among the farmers, on account
of the unsettled state of the w heat
market. The price (75c) remained un
changed up to Tuesday 14th, when it
went up to SOc. As is usually the case,
this " set them on nettles." and but
few sold, for they tartc (?) this could
not last long it was bound to go
higher. But yesterday proved their
predictions to be w rong, as the price
went back to 75c, with every indica
tion of going still lower within a very
short time. W hen will our farmers
learn to take a fair price for their sur
plus products ? We remember some
who w ere ottered $1 15 for their wheat
in the fall of 1871. but held for 1 25,
and still have tlie same wheat on hands.
All admit that 75c per bushel is a good
price for wheat that they can make
money at that price but their love for
the "filthy lucre," sometimes gets the
tetter ot their judgment, and causes
them to lose.
Messrs. Smith. Gerst & Co., of the
Harrisbnrg Mills, bave, this season,
paid a' premium of five Cents per bushel
for irtite, Winter v-liml. This is cer
tainly some inducement for raising
this kind of crop, and we believe our
farmers will turn their attention more
to it in the future, than they have
heretofore done.
Some time since the Trustees of the
Harrisbnrg Academy, held a meeting
and elected a new board, for the pur
pose of conveying the land belonging
to the Academy, to tlie School District
at least that was supposed to lie the
object so that the district might lie
enabled to proceed -with the erection
of a new school house. Rut we have
since lieard nothing from them. Is it
possible that this is to lie the last of it?
We cannot believe that those Interested
will let this mutter drop here, and
hence we again call their attention to it.
seeing the great need of a new school
house.
The quarterly conference of the M.
E. Church, for this circuit, closed on
Friday evening, having la-gun on Fri
day evening of last week, by Rev-.
Starr, Hoberg, and others. Although
the miuisterslabored earnestlythrougli
out, the result was not such as could
have lieen expected from such a pro
tracted meeting. The ordinance of
baptism was administered to one, and
several were received into the church
by letter.
The school under the management
of Rev. W. R. Bishop 1ms grown to
such proportions that he has had to
