Don't sleep on feathers or hair mat trowci Btnrr or shuck are preferable. Never sleep naked, but wear a woolen or gauze under-garment, and cover rittl a sheet. Never sit long on a hot stove. Avoid at all times standing on vour head for any great length of time. This position will not. without a doubtless, be dented, that nothing substantial is to be gained by sleeping with the left ieg over lite nape of the neck. It is much preferable to sleep double than single- a permanent arrangement : it improves the morals, savesblanfcs, and gives yon a life long comforter.'"

Atthe regular meet ing oh Twesday woing, Feb. 11th. tlwre wr present the Mayor, and ConncShnen ElWns, Harper. Mealey, Or. Jnes antf A. . Jones : absent, R. .saltnarsh. The Committee on Streets and Pabtic Property t0 w,u,m W8S referre the petition of John Conner et U asking pennissien to construct a crosswalk from tlie Bunk to the oppo site sMte'ot First street, between Ferry and Washington streets, reported tlmt they found ao ordinance authorizing irhegrantiug of stich privilege. The petition was laid upon the table. After auditing sundry bills against the city, the Council took up and passed to its second leading tlie ordinance defining tlie duties of City Marshal, pending the discussion of which the Council adjourned. IwON Fence. During a recent call rt the Albany Foundary, Mr. A. F. Cherry, proprietor, we noticed, among otlter things, some iron fencing, just vompJetedfto order, tlmt was not only complete as to finish, but the design itself was verv neat and tasty. Mr. Cherry exhibited for our inspection several other designs that were excel lent for strength as well as beauty. The difference between the cost of an open-work iron fence and the common wooden picket fence is so small, and (lie superiority of the former over tlie latter so manifest, that we wonder there are not more iron fences to be seen ornamenting the many pleasant resi dences throughout our city. Canal. Capt. Smith and his en gineers liave run one line for tlie Al bany and Santiam Canal to this city, and are now engaged in running an other. Capt. Smith pronounces tlie line run the most natural channel he ever saw tor tlie same distance, twelve mile0, the fall being gradual, requiring no di-ep cnttings, tlie deepest cut being but six feet, and t hat for a short dis tance only. There will be no locks required, thus cheapening tlie cost of construction. All interested are highly pleased with the showing so mr. and are more confident than ever of the great success awaiting those interested in the enterprise. Runaway. Three little shavers, not one of them over fourteen years of age. concluding to go for pastures green, packed ther duds'' and on Monday at 4 o'clock P. M. struck out for EugeneCitv. Arrivingat Tangent, they hung up for the night. Early on Tuesday morning Ross Humphrey, who had lieen put on tiieir trail, over hauled tlie missing roosters at Tangent, put them on the train for this city, where they arrived at noon on Tnes dav. On their way from the deiot to tlie city, one of the lioys, Arthur Can i)on. concluding he didn't want to go home, turned back, ami it is supposed. gl noon the train before it left the epot. Up to Wednesday lie had not lieen heard from. Worried. All of our brethreH of tlie qnill on this coast seem to he tor mented ami worried about the Modoc ludi&n war. and spend many hours in writing labored articles titer rizing upon it. He are worried to death ourself about it. although we ay nothing. We prefer to let the grief eat into us eat into us silently. Onr cheek may pale with inward anguish, but no word of ours shall give vent to our. pent np sorrow for tlie sudden taking off" of all the noble red men nary a won I. A Valuable COW. Mr. George F. Simpson, who lives about four miles south of this city., is owner of a cow tlmt has hail twin calves two years In sMccesglon tour heifer calves in two years. Only another evidence flint i )regon is tlie best country in the world for the fanners. BORN. On the 10th. to tlie wife o1 Or, J. Linsy HJIJ, a q.. Coi-nty Convention. A conven tion of farmers of Linn county, to look after their interests in tlie matter of building wharehouses here and a large warehouse at Astoria, is called tor Sat urday, March 8th, 1873. Several prop ositions have been considered by the different Clubs in the eomity.afor the erection of a warehouse at Astoria ; tlie favorite one at present, however, seems to be the formation of a joint stock company, and in all probability such a company will be formed, and the warehouse "erected by it. Commercial Hotel, Salem. The announcement that Mrs. A. J. Riely has taken charge of the Commercial Hotel at Salem, Is sufficient evidence to all who are acquainted with the es timable lady, that it will hereafter be kept in first class order, and that it will lie a home for the traveler and wayfaring man. Remember theCom meivi.il Hotel, whew at Salem, if you wish good grub" and neat, soft, clean beds, at reasonable rates. See card elsewhere in this issue. Goon Law. A law now In force in Illinois provides that a habitual drunk ard shall be tried by a jury, and if proven guilty, a guardian is appointed who takes charge of his property, and lie is legally debarred from doing busi ness. A similar law is now in force ami has worked well in France, with out any objections. Such a law in Oregon might have a salutary effect. City Library. A library tor this city is talked of. We hope the enter- firisc will be put through in good shape, t is one of the great needs of the city, and it may be, if proper effort is put forth at this time, a fair subscription can be obtained for such a purpose. AVeather During the week made up of showers and sunshine neither too cold or too warm, but a fair me dium between the two. We have had magnificent Winter, so far. Rerekah. The Rebekah Lodge meets at Odd Fellows Hall to-morrow evening (Saturday), at 7 o'clock. We liope there will be a foil attendance, to the end that important matters now before tlie Lodge will have full discus sion. Come out. Social Hop.

Tickets, including supper, f 1 50. Swing whom you please. Flattering Notice. The Athens (111.) Ern of Jan. 25th. has the follow ing flattering notice of Oregon's me tropolis : Portland. Oregon, is rapidly im proving. A local paper says "that long strings of teams loaded with whisky can be seen from onrofflce.and saloons are going up like magic " Abating. The stringency in the money markets of Europe and the Eastern cities is pronounced abating, and the rate of interest lowered. May a similar state of affairs reach this vineyard soon. Beautiful. Mr. Chas. Mealey re turned from San Francisco on Monday. He hrings some handsome parlor sets and other novelties, which will cer tainly be appreciated by our citizens. Sec tliem. At Work. The Special Committee oil Drainage, appointed by the City Council, are hard at work, and will doubtless be ready to report a thorough system of drainage for this city some time next week. Sunday Morning Services. "Is death a sleep of tlie soul?" subject of ser mon at the Congregational Church next Sunday morning. The public are in vited. Temperance Lecture. Levi Le land.

BusiNKSf Remarkably dull during tlie, week., Farmers' County Convention. The fanners of Linn county are here by notified that there will be a Comity Convention held at Albany. Saturday, March 8th, 1873. at 10 o'clock A. M.. for the purpose of effecting a general organization for their mutual protec tion, and taking into consideration the most feasible and best plans for build ing local warehouses. Also, the con sideration of a large warehouse at As toria, and to devise ways and means tor building said warehouse, and form a co-partnership or an incorporated company. It will be necessary that we have a full attendance, and in order that there may be, it will be highly ex pedient that each club appoint three or more, as a delegation, to attend the County Convention. And, further more, we earnestly recommend the early organization of clubs In 'every district and county in this valley, that they may send their delegates to this County Convention. We, as an association of farmers, feeling deeply interested for the cause in which we are engaged, extend our call and invitation, and earnestly de sire that adjacent counties send up their committees to the Linn county call, so there may be a full hearing and thor ough investigation nf the contemplated plans and arrangements. It has been said of tlie fanners, that they were not united, neither could they be. But if those gainsayers were to visit this part of the moral vineyanl now, they would be constrained to say, milted they stand, still upward wind tiieir way. By order of the Club. McFarland School house. District No. 25. G. F. SIMPSON, Sec. February 10th, 1873. Let ns Hnve a Library. ALBANY, Feb. 11th, 1873. Ed. Register : The time being fa vorable. 1 think it expedieut to draw attention through your columns, to a long felt want of the city. There areat present noble efforts being put forth in the cause' of religion, Ty means of Union Meetings, and special interest is shown in behalf of the young. Now, I think that a part of the interest taken by leading men in this cause, could be directed into a different channel than that till now pursued, with equal bene ficial results. We ouglit to have a public reading-room nere a piace holding out superior inducements to young men to spend their leisure hours. Such a plaee could be established by united and continued effort, and be made a power for good. Other cities have public reading-rooms, why not Albany? Do something to multiply the opportunities for improving the mind, and saloons will not have as great a power as they now have. TYPO. The Albany & Nnnttain Canal aa a Means at Transportation. Albany, Feb. 7th, 1873. Ed. Register : In consideration of some of the great advantages to be derived from Albany & Santiam Canal, I would lie glad to have you notice through your columns, First That it is not a thing for a day or a j ear. but that it will afford a perpetual supply of good, clear, living water to twelve miles of prairie land, which is mow entirely dependent on wells. Second It affords to farmers along the line a?better and cheaper means of transportation than can any Railroad. Every former can have a boat of his own; or a company may be formed for the express purpose of constructing boats to be used in navigating the Canal, carrying grain or other freight to cither terminus or points along its line. A fanner living near the line of the Canai, may store nis grain on his own nivniises. with the assurance that if lie wishes to deliver it at Albany during the Winter, when the roads are generally Impassable, the Canal will always be open and ready to transport it. and if his crop be ever so large, one or two days will suffice to transfer it there. To illustrate : A flat-bottomed boat drawing one foot of water, thirty two fceti length by twelve in breadth, will carry over 400 bushels of wheat, or twelve tons 24,000 pounds. A Imat of the same dimensions, drawing two feet of water, would carry twenty four tons, or over eight hundred bush els of wheat. A nv firmer mav build a boat calcu lating its carrying capacity as follows-: Multiply its length by the wllth in feet, anil the product by 62,'. and he will have the number of Kunds the boat wll carry, drawing one foot of water. There are several other wave in which the Canal will prove of almost incalculable benefit to farmers along it Hue, not among the least of which is the carrying off of surplus wafer from flat or low lands. Mr. C. P. Burkhart so well understands the benefits to accnie from it, that lie pro poses, If the Canal crosses hjs farm, to excavate that much of It at his own expense. MORE ANON. Prospering.

HARKIKBIK4 COKRESPOXDEME. Habrisrurg, Feb. 13th, 1873. Ed. Register : The excitement created by the late tragedy has about subsided ami our town is again quiet. S. tyral parties have beert searching for Kcfeney. but i bey have all retni.ied witinNit hiving f'uimdniy tracuot' him. The psvvai.lijg opinion now set- ns to be. thtit Keeney would lie cleared wvre he to return and stand his trial. Mr. dark, the old gentleman who feli from the second story of the hotel two weeks since. Is now able to get around on crutches, and will no doubt soon he well. Rev. S.J. Willioit, of the M. E. Church South, yesterday purchased two lots on which he proposes toeivct, during the coming Summer, a tine church edifice, for the use of his de nomination. But very little wheat has changed bauds within the last two or three weeks and money is as scarce as ever. A number of farmers met here on the 8th inst., for the purpose of con sidering the feasibility of building a fanners" warehouse." We under stand they adjourned to meet again on Saturday, the 15th Inst., when it is hoped they will let tiieir deeds be known. K. U. B. LOVE OF withe I will love Nature, while the trees of Paradise yields (heir fruits, or the fountain of Life its river. While the ribbon-like streams unwind from the hills, or the rainbow reflects its splen dor. While tlie emerald plain glistens with dew, or tlie bright stars twinkle in beauty. While the waving pines whisper their love, or the bright-eyed birds their music. 1 see and love Nature when I hear the patter of the rain-drop; wlien the cooling breeze flies far o'er the lea ; when old ocean rolls its mystic waves in thunder, or sings a lullaby ; when the yellow suuligbt melts to varmtn and love. Nature is heard in tlie deep-toned thunder, and seen in tlie red lightning that emblazons the sky with fiery crimson. Nature trembles in the star beam, blazes in the sun, whispers in tlie breeze, roars in the storm, bellows hi the thunder, fires the angry clouds with electric bonfires, and moans in the ocean We hear it pattering in the raindrop, and singing in tlie streams. We see it shining in tlie dew-drop and tinting the manifold flowers with fresh-born beauty. J. A. W. Tygh Valley, Oregon. Personal. Mr. E. S.
