ALBANY REGISTER. LOCAL MATTERS. CAtJOHT. Sheriff Parker reached this city Wednesday noon, after an absence of ten days, during which time he was engaged in 'trailing'' Levi Livingston, indicted at tlie Octo-lx-r term of Linn County Circuit Court for eouiiterteiting. Sir. Parker visited Seattle and other points on the Sound during Ms "run." He succeeded in impairing Livingston on Saturday last, just back ot Taeoma. It is charged that Livingston was engaged, prior to tctober last, in manufacturing and is suing counterfeit half dollars. Medical.

See card on third page. ThkCott ace Month lv For Janu ary is on our table, and deserves care ful reading and hearty commendation. Its well chosen stories are selected from our best publications, and we are -nrprised and glad to note that a maga zine so low priced, can lurnih such excellent matter. Its price only 50 cento per year places it within the reach of every schoolboy,and the money jaid tor this monthly is well spent. Address Reade, Brewster, & Co., 142 l.aSalle Street, Chicago. Unfavorable. A telegram was received here the first of the week from Mr. J. L. Harris at Dalles, stat ing that his wife was worse, and re questing her fattier. Mr, Bell, of Leba non, to come to Dalles at once. Mr. Bell took the noon train on Monday, and In all probability arrived at Dalles on Tuesday evening. Kri it The prospect for a full yield of fruit seems to be generally consid ered good throughout the county. The t'lierry crop, from present indications, will be more than an average one ; the apple crop, an average one. Peaches, aho. look well, but they are not a sure crop. Cuke fob Epizootic The Secre tary of War lias directed the officers ot tle Quartermaster's Department to use a solution of one tea-soonftil of chlorate of potash in a bucket of wa ter as a remedy for horses affected with the epizootic ; one-fourth of this (uantity to be given twice a day. Deer Wanted. Dr. 0. P. S. Plum nier wishes topurchasea pairof white tailed deer, two female black-tailed deer, and tlie skeleton of a white-tailed deer that of a buck preferred. Any one Interested should read tlie card elsewhere In this issue Clothing. Mr. N. Baum starts for San Francisco the first ot the coining month, to lay in a new stock of Spring and Summer clothing, etc. The latest and most stylish "rigs' may be ex jmted on his shelves upon his return. Vert Low. Mr. Wallace Mauzey, an attache of this office, left this city for Salem, on the noon train Tuesday. Iinving receired a telegram statingthat his father was lying Iangeronsly ill, in tliat city, of consumption. A i. ban if & Santiam Canal. Capt. Smith has completed id survey ot tlie Albany A Sautlam Canal, tixi wade hi report to the Director. Something Aboct the Canal. Elsewhere we mentioned the fact that i the survey of the Albany & Santiain Canal was completed, and a profile ' map thereof placed in the hands ot j the Directors of tlie Company on Wed ; ueeday. Capt. Smith has done his I work faithfully and well, leaving noth ing more in the line of engineering or surveying to be asked for at his hands. The survey commences near Wm. Gore's residence where Mr. Morris' contract ends, (whose contract, by the way. embraced all the deep cutting on the whole iine of canal), probably one mile and a half from theSantiam river, and runs to James Elkins' barn, some thing over a half a mile south of tlie Court House in this city a distance between tlie termini of eleven miles, or 113,231 yards. The deepest cut is a fraction over 7 feet. In crossing one or more sloughs probably some flum ing will have to be done, but not a great amount. The estimated cost of digging the Caad Is iW, 864 65. which, added to the portion already under contract, would swell the amount to near 25,000. To this must be added the cost of headgatcs, widening the Canal from Elkins Bro.'s mills to the Santiam river, the cost of conveying tlie water through this city to an outlet In the Calipooia or Willamette, and the erection of a reservoir somewhere in the rear of the city. These figures may be too high but should the work of digging and completing the Canal for business cost $75,000, it will be the cheapest and best paying investment for our people thai can be undertaken at this time. From Crooked River. Mr. Abe Hackleman arrived home from his stock ranch on Crooked river, at the upper or eastern end of Ochoco valley, on Sunday, having made the trip via Dalles In eight days. It is two hun dred miles from his ranch to Dalles, and between forty and forty-five miles south of east of Cam p Watson . He re ports a light winter in that country, and aittle beef-fat, and plenty of them. No sign of Indians. Mr. Hackleman thinks the country better adapted, If any difference, to raising horses than cattle, ami lias already invested to some extent in them. He reports old Linn countyites now residing there as generally doing well and pleased with the situation. Unpketty. A mixture of wall and grumble and fret is just now effusing from the brains of "ink-slingers" re lative to item and editorial peculations. Such business can be regarded as no better than unwrong and the perpetra tors as wronguns. The guilty should do more right or else never write more. To ask credit and give none Is altogether too "taking" it is im mensely porkish, with a thiev before the ish. Such an one desires to ap pear to his readers for what he is not instead of not he is what. To his readers for a time he may look like a Hon, but a closer scrutiny will reveal the ears, and even if they are hid. the voice will proclaim the ass. Some HOG. Mr. Wm. Core, of Lebanon, brought a porker to thi- city on Wednesday that weighed 059 iiomids net. Forty-one dollars and eighty three cents, we believe, was jiaid him for the porker. Washing Machine. A new patent washing machine now being offered for sale In this city, Is an Improvement -certainly saves much labor. The price seems to be tlie only objection toit. Fkankmn Market. Mr. J. R Herren still offers to customers the choicest steaks at, He old stand. Doc. is a most accommodating butcher, and deserves well ot a discriminating pub lic. See card in t his issue. Discontin r ed.

No Change in market quotations since our last. Stock has thrived admirably during the Winter all over the Willamette valley, on grass alone. Religious services have been held nightly at our churches during the week. The new drainage system contem plates one or more ditches down Broadalbin and Ferry streets from Seventh. Wednesday morning was winterish, thermometer marking S9 Tuesday was also cool, 31. Willamette running bank full. Roads improving. Farmers plowing. Grass growing finely. Council meets Saturday night. Recorder after property-holders making annual assessment. The Bulletin doesn't like Mr. Lowe's figures hi last week's Democrat. Capt. Smith has finished the survey and mapping line of the Santiain Can al. The work seems to be thoroughly executed. Setting out fruit trees, shrubs, etc., is what's up with our jieople. Potatoes retail from grocers at 50c ; buying price 12 '4 15cless per bushel. Wheat goes at 65c per bushel ; buy ers say they won't give any more. The prices in Liverpool remain as last quoted. 189,679 quarter sacks flour exported from Oregon since August last ; oats, 23,144 bushels in last three months. The enterprise ot building an Odd Fellows Temple is gradually taking shape. Snow plainly to be seen on the mountains east of as. No epizootic in tlie county so far as heard from. Al.

Dave Froman ls getting lumber on the ground to build a City Hall, on Second, between Ferry and Broadalbin streets. A partial system of drainage has been adopted by the Council for the city.

' The shipmeuts of wheat from San Francisco during tlie six months end ing February, 1873, aggregate 6,817, 658 centals, valued at $12,007,641. To transport this vast amount of wheat required 2'53 vessels. Yfthha auniHi has returned to the parental roof-tree. A. ('. Lay I on proposes to make California his future home.

Hiram Smith is reported to be erect ing a fine warehouse at Junction City. 'has. Roggers talks of leaving us next month cause, poor health. Mrs. Cranor has gone to Jeffictsou mTtU, An Interesting Reminiscence. The correspondent of the San Fran cisco Vail recalls the following anec dote of tlie late Senator E. D. Baker, of Oregon : Ihiring the Fremont Presidential cnm)ii',g.i. and not fit r from Do'viikv viiie, tln ie was an exceedingly rough iiii. in settlement of some live Im.i drc.l people, and nino.jgtho-t! only ww Republican was kuott'ii to ixi-t. Ail the rest were Democrats, and tlie tuot of them of a verv rude character. ta ker determined to go there and make a Republican speeclb though la had been strongly advised not to so, as it would lie dangerous. But tlie mighty sorcerer was never afraid of the for bidding faces of men. llr knew how to wake the latent divinity within the savagest of human souls. He accord ingly went; and not without some misiflvings, I accompanied him. When we were entering the village tlie crowd about the "Bascom's grocery" of the place hauled down the Ameri can flag, in token ot hostility aad dis respect, hut ottered no further person al indignity. Baker did not seem to observe the Hag episode, and after dark he mount ed a carpenter's bench in front of one of the vilest grog-shops ot civilization, ami commenced. The rough audience tiad heard of him, and though a detest ed "black Republican," they wanted to near linn go. .Not a wont was spo ken in the crowd ; not a sign of ap plause or disapproval : and never did orator address an audience so unsym pathetic and stolid seemingly. Baker kept on half an hour or mi without any perceptible effect : and then seem ingly to he gathering all his energies for one gigantic blow to split the ob durate rock, he began to pace back and forth along the bench, pouring (Hit wave alter wave, cumulative, ma jestic and overwhelming. At length something like a tremor ran through the obstinately silent throng, and I could see them move uneasily under the terrible spell of the enchanter. Some ot them had belonged to Riley's Regiment in the Mexican war. Baker knew that, and looked up at the naked flag-staff, he referred to his own par ticipation in the battles in Mexico, and then for full ten minutes, and as it appeared, without a period in the structure of his speech, be rolled down a torrent of Impassioned eloquence upon his transfixed audience "Like the dashing, silver-splashing Surges of San Salvador" The orator standing in the ma jesty of his fiower. piling it up higher and higher, and louder and louder, until someone in the crowd gave a sort of agonizing yell, as though unable to stand it any longer and the stubborn rock was cleft for the outflow of the waters. The men yelled continuously, I do not know for how long, and made a rush upon the frail platform ; Baker and his bench were overthrown, and it was several minutes before the triumphant orator could lie heard and go on with his speech. I never saw a crowd behave so frantically from sim ilar emotions. It was another scene like D'Arcy Magee's description of M. ratrtck s conquest ot the Irish on tlie Hill of Tarn ; and there, as of old, the Irish heart, though hidden in a rough tabernacle, showed its inabili ty to resist the influence of true elo quence. At tlie election, a month after, the lone Republican ot the bar was reinforced by eighty votes ; and ever after, when Baker passed that way, lie was cheered by the Irish miners at their work.
