LOCAL MATTERS. ATTKHTios. Notice Is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Albany Farmers' Company, at die Court House In Albany, at 1 oVtock i. m. on Saturday. June 21st, IST3, for the purpose of increasing the capital stock of said Company to thirty thous and dollars. G. W, VERNOX. J. Blevins. Sec. Pres. Warehouse Sold. Mr. C. West lake has sold his ftne warehouse on the bank of the Willamette river, In the east end of the city, to the Albany Farmers' Cotnaiiy, for the sum of $12,000. Tlie sale includes the whole block warehouse, soap factory, office, etc. It Is a bargain, certainly, costing Mr. Westlake near $15,000. The warehouse is one of the largest and beat hi the State, and we congratulate the Directors on their good fortune to- securing such an excellent Investment. Shedd. At the annual meeting of the stockholders ot the Farmers' Union Warehouse Company at Shedd, last Saturday, Messrs. Frank Shedd. Jno. Irvine and M. Thompson were elected Directors for the ensuing year. The Company propose to let contracts goon for raising and putting a stone founda tion under their warehouse building. Messrs. A. Wheeler A Co. will attach a steam engine for cleaning and elevat ing grain in an expeditious and satis factory manner, making this one of the most convenient nouses to the county. Rtoawat.-A team, left standing near Mr. A. F. Cherry's foundry, on Tuesday, concluded to "git," and they did git. They made a very nice little run of half a mile or so, through some of the principal streets of the city, creating quite a dust, coming within an ace of running over some children who were playing on First street, end ing up with a badly demoralized team and wagon. Tlie practice ot leaving teams standing to the s'reet without properly securing them, is a bad one, often causing not only severe- regrets, but many dollars in the way of dam ages. Secure your teams before leav ing them. Setose Accident. A son of G. F Simpson, who lives out near McFar- land's school-house, was thrown from his pony, on Thursday of last week, severely spraining bis elbow joint, from which the little fellow suffered excruciating pain for several days. A. S. Canal. Work on the Canal is progressing with commend able rapidity, each contractor seeming determined to push his portion of the work to a successful completion at the earliest date. Mr. Morris, to whom the heaviest portion of the work, some :i,500 feet, was let last fall, is doing a splendid piece of work, from all ac counts, and will, it Is calculated by the President complete his contract by the 20th inst., at the farthest. Mr Fry has under way about half of his four mile contract, and Is get tiny along flnelr. Mr. Morris' first contract of thirty-five hundred feet, will cost about $1000, or one-third of the total cost of the Canal when finished. The cut is fifteen feet deep, and has required a "power o' work" and sktll to put It through. Oreoon Business Directort. ITirough the politeness of our young friend, Mr. H. J. McCormick, son of the publisher of the work, we are to receipt of a copy of the Oregon Busi ness Directory, just Issued byv8. J. McCormick, Esq., of Portland, Oregon.

Every Oregonian should have a copy, nd when read, should send it to i m toe EAst, enaoiing mmn, by a 1 m us pages, ro oouut a more i and reliable kuowleun of i Mtan in any ower way. Business Chances.

Fanner having wool for sale can obtain the highest market price in cash for it by calling on Mr. C. D. Simpson, of this city, a pleasant gentleman and fair dealer. He will also pay the highest cash rates for oats and wheat. Here's your opportunity to finger a few eagles. The Soda Business In the hands of A. Corothers & Co., is growing rapidly. Of late they have been fill ing orders for their bottled soda at tlie rate of from twenty-six to thirty dozen per day and the soda season bos hardly commenced. . Railroad Street DiTCH.-Theditch ordered by the City Council down Railroad street, to finished, at a cost to die city of less than $1H. It U a mod Job, and will drain that portion horse. It b both health-couducine and pleasure-exciting to ride on an easy-going equine. Many men and . in, I ,..,, women, and children, too. will delight- edly "go for" a good riding horse and "git" on him. Thus is it with us. But, mind, the animal must he of the equine species, an easy goer, and easily persuaded to go. If tlie quadruped is a corduroy-jolting, liver-pin unsettling, side-aching, blister producing trotter, no go for us. Such doesn't "set" well, i And if tlie genus equine is of the spe- ' l etes tliat have to be encouraged to : move with spurs on both heols. clubs III both hands, and belching yells, we doirtcarctoequestrianate. We would i rather save the tear of lungs, the wear of teniH!r and muscle, and so on, by riding a steady broomstick. The lat tor would cost nothing for Uxliler, would tie safe, and to one who doesn't mind walking, highly exercising. Out-J side of an equine hoss, a one year old boll calf, tor a lightning, dare-devil . ride, a noisy, hit-or-uiiss ride, a ride j that begins and ends nearly all at once j in a bawl and a sprawl, is lively. Yes, it is nearly lightning, while it lasts. The going anywhere and getting off is the trouble. The calf regulates that ; and we remember a case where the going was over a ten acre field, and the getting off was a spread-out shoot of several yards over the bovine 's head. We don't recommend that kind of rid ing as a steady policy. A sober mule will ride well if he wants to. If lie is-opposed to it, however, you may fa vorably consider his indisposition, and try it a-foot. A pair of spurs will ele vate his hind legs, and you will likely travel speedily for a goodly number of feet, but the forelegs of the valiant long-eared animal will remain station ary. He will laugh at your scorn, too. as you get up and loudly declaim. We rode a mild-mannered mule the other day, and for his size he did well, on the home stretch. Going, we spur red, we thrashed, we argufied the urgency of our anxious desire to get along faster than a walk ; but neither bitter npbmldings nor the mildest of pathos excited him particularly. He took it easy. In time we got to our destination pretty near, only a little late. We expect the little mule was tired. We know we were. Our arms needed, rest ; yes, and our legs, and back, and organs of speech. Lawks, how fatigued they Individually and eollecttvely were. We dreaded start ing home on the little, long-eared mule; but at length the start was made, and, to our gratified surprise, the mule quadruped came in a good gait all the way. He seemed to enjoy it. So did we, though sorely. Well, an attach mept for borne is a noble trait, even in a little, long-eared mule ; and should we ever ride that animal again, we will remember bis virtuous predilection that way, and arrange to be twice as long going anywhere as returning. Wood's Household Mabazine. The Jme mrmber is just the book for the family circle! Just the dear old HmtseMd magazine we used to greet so gladly. The articles are not so heavy; there are more stories, not trash', sensational compositions, but such as bear throughout a strong in fluence for all that Is good, and pure, and true. A noticeable feature is that there is something helpful, eoeoorag ing, comforting upon almost every page. A bright face like this is needed In every household. The children's department is fully ap to its standard, and printed in much better type. As to niake-npot magazine, we notice a great improvement. A Temperance story is anueunced hereafter, for every number. H. Y. Osborne ffenoroou) has been recalled as editor, and assumes the entire management. Subscription price only one dollar a year.

Moun tain made for the shore with haste, bat before he reached it tlie paws of the animal rested upon tlie gunwales ana over went the skiff.
