We recom mend that eadi and every other Club in the State do likewise, that the State Convention may receive honors sneh as did the Linn county Convention, as being the most harmonious and largest gathering assembled at the Court House tor some time. Let us move .steady hut sure, is the plan that we have adopted, and everything goes well with the Club in District No. 36. GEO. F. SIMPSON. See'y. Pcttv Larceny. A young man by the name of John Judkins. about 18 years of age. last week came to the conclusion that he would have a ride, and as it was after train time, and no steamer at the wharf, he did the next best thing, went to the Albany Ferry and' finding a skiff that suited his tancy. lie immediately got into it and "took off down the river." Arriving at Mr. Wells', some twelve or fourteen miles below this city, he thought he had gone far enough so he tied the boat to the bank and left it there for future use. Siieriff Parker was made acquainted with the young man's conduct, and started immediately after him, and learning of his wliereabouts, he soon lupjied him, and returned to this city with the youngster last Tuesday. He was brought before Esquire Carothers on Tuesday, confessed to taking the skiff and was sent to the county jail J'or thirty days. Sealed Proposals.

A young lady by the name of Biodget. of Benton enmity, was taken down to the Asylum at East Portland, last Monday, by her brother, he being the only person that could manage her. I'pon arriving at Port land it was ascertained that the papers iiad not leen made out properly, and the young man had to return to this city with his unfortunate sister, to hove the papers got up in proper shape, lie started again for the Asylum on Wed nesday.

There will be an opening sermon by the Moderator, and other devotion al services, on Thursday and Friday. The third quarterly meeting of the M. E. Church begins on to-morrow at 2'.; P. M. The Goveksob Gkoveb. We did not get down lo the lauding in time to givo the new steamer an examination, but from those who are competent judges, we learn that, she is a staunch, clean built boat, with as "good engines as wereever put into a boat." She made good time on the up trip, and when thoroughly in working trim will be hard to "pass." She is a 300 tinner. We wish her abundant success, FisiiDiO Our streets liave been al most entirely deserted by the boys, for the last day or two, owing to tlte fact that "fishing time ban come," and numbers may be seen daily, armed with a long pole and a cup of bait, en route for the river. Roads drying rapidly. Entertainment at the Instttutk. ! The literary entertainment given at j the Albany Collegiate Institute last j Friday evening, was largely attended, j anil deserves more than ordinary praise. The programme consisted of choice selections of miisio, of deck- ( mation. recitation oration, tableau, I literary aer, and farce. These were j Uniquely arranged in the happily con- j eeived programme, and while all of the performers were good in the exe cution ot the part or parts assigned them, some Succeeded in reaching the excellent. The "Opening Chorus." by a select number of pupils, headed by President Warren, was well sung, eliciting hearty applause, as did every performance thereafter. The "Saluta tory," by Will. Simpson, was an ex cellent production, entirely appropri ate. Barring a manner of speech somewhat too rapid and some mistakes in pronunciation, the delivery was quite pleasing. A "Solo and Quar tet" "Nellie Mac." was snug by Kila Barrows, Cora lrv lie, Prof. Sox and Pres. Warren. Miss Barrows sang the solo', MUs Brown playing the in strument. "Very sweet" remarked j a lady near us, and so thought we. An oration, by O. H. Irvine, in the I subject matter and arrangement, was extra good, but marred slightly by an j imrjetftct committal, and an awkward j gesticulation. A piano solo, by Miss Maggie Poster "Fisher's Hornpipe, with Variations," suited our musical i ear to a dot time was good and the j execution rapid. Declamation "Re grilus'tothe Carthagenians,"' by I. P. Hackleman, gave good satisfaction. The young gentleman lias a good voice, and las expression in the main seemed appropriate. Solo and uuar- tet "My Darling has Fallen Asleep." was sung by Misses Mouteitb and Can non, Messrs. Westlake and Darby. Miss Minnie Monteith taking the solo. Miss Alexander played the piano. The music gave good satisfaction. "After a CrastinaMofi of a sennight at the Habitance of my Cogitation," a eon catenation ol verbosity by R. A. Fos ter, was too much for our intellectual ptjispicncity to diagnosticate. We suppose it was a prescription for the Epizootics, and was ably doctrlnated. The College Journal, read by its edi tor, .1. T. Tate, contained many ex cellent productions, which were well read by -Master Tate, though a little more spirit liiftised into the reading would have improved it. A piano dli,jt"0 Concento, with varia tions," executed by Misses Tate and brown, was a difficult piece, skilfully performed. The, young ladies are both accomplished artists on the piano. ReeitJitioii -'Angels ot Buena Vista," by Miss Fennle Hamilton, was well commit teil : and though the fair shak er possessed a clear enunciation and pleasing voice, she failed to persouify the intense tragic element of the piece. "Hie Sea versus the Land." were two well written essays, written, by Miss es Libhle Althouse and Jennie Cooner. They both Indicated careful research. Duet-"Mother, Oh. Sing me to Re t." by Pres. Warren and Miss Cora Irvine, was musical. Oration, by J unes Darby, on "War." was an ex cellent production, well delivered. In strumental Trio. Piano Duet and Vi olin, by Pres. Warren on the violin, and Misses Brown and Barrows on the plano,executlng "Grand Fantasia," on Moc nig Bird, was a richness of har inoulus melody. The audience requir ed iu repetition. Recitation "Fit. James and Rtxlerlc Dim." by Miss Libbie Halbrook, was well delivered. The graceful speaker was quite self possessed in her manner. A Tableau, we omitted to mention in its place, representing "Queen Isabella present lug her diamonds to Columbus," wa a pleasing, if not an exact representa tion of that event. Miss Trice, as sa bella, looked queenly. A Farce "We are All Teetotalers," was the most perfectly acted " funny piece" we have seen since we left "Suckerdom." Hnckleinan, as Jedediah Maple, Miss Finlayson, as Aunt Sarah Jane, Miss Foster, as linldey, as we got it, and the gents who acted the other charac ters the two lubberly hoys and the visiting nephew, were each above the average in the rendering of the char acter assumed. The representation of "Aunt Sarah Jane," was especially excellent. The hearty laughter that roared from the audience during the continuance of the piece, was a flat tering testimonial of its success. This was followed by a duet "Come Sing your Lesson," by Pres. Warren and Miss Barrows, which was rich. A Tableau Innocence." represent ing a sleeping child with its guardian au iel liiMiilir,,,- nvcr If. was hnth solemn - anil neautinu. 1 lie i Bieuietory. oy Miss Clara Price, closed the exercises. This was a choice production, ricli in thought and graceful in style, and ex ceedingly well spoken. It was an ap propriate ending to so good an enter tainment.
