0 ALBANY KEGISTER. LOCAL MATTERS. Festive Occasion. On last Sun at the Fair Ground, there was a large iimI ,oyous gathering of ladies nd gentlemen from far and near to attend the Jewish Picnic, gotten Up for the espe0i.1l diversion and enter tainment of the people of that faith by tlielrHirothcrs ot this city. There are, probably, no people on earth, as a class, who take more thorough delight in oc casion of this kind, or who under stand the art ot making them more completely enjoyable. From the re port of those who were in attendance, we are led to believe that it wns one of the pleasantest occasions of the kind ever held in Oregon. As before re marked, the attendance was very large, lint the tables had been provided with such a liberal hand, that probably half of the substantial ami dainties provided for the refreshment of the guests were left untouched. The two large tables, running the whole length of tlie oavilion. were loaded with everything that could attract the palate or meet the demands of tlie daintiest epicure, with no stint of rich and parkling wines to wash them down. Peaches, plums, apricots, pears, and great clusters of luscious grapes, pro cured from California at heavy ex pense, filled up every niche and sjt of unoccupied space in ami about the table we never saw a richer or more elegant siglit. Choice music too. lent Its bewitching spell to chase the fleet footed hours. It was a rare scene of pleasant social enjoyment without any excesses to mar or blacken its bright ness. Struck it Rich. Some of our peo- j pie have "struck He" at lest if they j havn't struck "He" lu the proper ac- i ivptation of the term, they have struck j it rich," in mining parlance. And this Is the how of it: They Invested In corner lots In Tacoma, W, T. And that's what's the matter. From a one- j horse village, Tacoma lias suddenly sprang into importance as the chiet ' city in Washington Territory and it Is thought by some at least, that Taco ma, in a few short years at farthest, will be the chief city on the Pacific Coast! Possessing a good harbor on tlie finest slieet of water in tlie world, at the terminus of the Northern Pacific j Railroad, there's nothing to prevent j lier rapid growth. But what we start- j ed out to say was, that several of our : hoys have been made Rotbchllds of by ! their fortunate investment in Tacoma j lots. Mr. Clement owns four or five acres of lots, so does Conrad; .las. El- i kins, too, lias lots in tlie heart of the j city; our city Treasurer, Geo. F. Set-; tlemeir, our Postmaster. Raymond, our lightning manipulator, (ins. j Wheeler all, all possess title deeds' to whole or parts of whole we mean blocks of land in Tacoma. and they dress accordingly. They snap their lingers at the cry of "hard times" and the tightness of the money market. There is no tightness for them they are all on the topmost wave of success, and we are glad of it, because they are good boys, and good boys deserve sugar plums. Mr. Conrad values. Ins raise at C.OOO. which will set him up in business in good shape. Not a foot of land do we possess in Tacoma; therefore we are not on the gush. The Tangent Mews. J. Beaid A Warehouse.- ! Son, proprietors ' of tlie flue warehouse at Tangent have ! made every preparation to receive, store, or ship by railroad, In firs' class wyle, any amount ot wheat, oats bar-' ley, etc., offered. Farmers, of course, will have full control ot any grain they may store with Messrs. Beard & Son-aelling to whom and when they please. Their arrangements for clean ing and storing grain are perfect. Sacks In any quantity furnished to those desiring. They propo t0 uke charge of and ship-the produce offered by the farmer hi the vicinity of Tangent at the lowest living rate!. Mo pains will be spared to accomodate all who may apply. Two more hon et, tfraighiforwaiA business men can not be found In linn county, ami those who entrust them with their grain wUl have do reason to regret it. As O'er Tmnx Talk. A minister, whose name everybody would recog nize were we to give it. gave us an in cident the other day. which may be regarded as a good illustration of the speed with which things are done in Oregon. A young gent n Salem was engaged to a young ifl()y wnoe resj. (fence was east of the mountains. A few years fled away, and absence from j 1.1, 1...I.. I - iu inn j nuc, or some other reason. ' caused the love of the youth to grow Cold, and in the mood growing out of J such an experience, he addressed a I i labored letter, to his once loved one, j 1 couching it in terms as tenderly-deter-' I mined as possible, that her susceptible 1 nature might not receive too severe a shock, and asked her to release him from the engagement. In anxiety he I , awaits the returning missive. iSosoon i as mail facilities, could bring it, it I comes. Ah! how terrible the shock , ' must have been to the tender heart of j the fair damsel! Tremblingly he opens I j the letter. Hastily, and with sus- j j ponded breath and dilating eyes lit-. I reads, in substance, the following: 1 j ; am married, and am the happy mother i j of three children. That Salem young1 i man has been trying to regain his 1 breath ever since. Theatrical. The entertainment at the Pacific Opera House on Friday night of last week, by the Taylor Family, assisted by Albany amateurs, was a great treat to our citizens. The house was well filled, and all unite in praise ot the success of the entire per formance. "Betsey Baker" was well rendered by Uarry Watson as Marma duke Mouser, Joseph Purdom as Crummy, Mrs. L. B. Royal as Mrs. Mouser, and Mrs. Mart. Taylor as Betsey Baker. The songs were relish ed by the large audience, especially Mart. Taylor's, as his were original. 'The Borrowed Sweetheart," the clos ing piece, we did not hear, but learn that the characters were all well sus tained. Mart. Taylor, as Peter Spyke, being hard to beat, and Mrs. Taylor, as Gertrude, being unapproachable. Messrs. Watson, as Capt. Amhersfoot, L. B. Royal, as Swizel. J. J. Domes, ! as Delve, and Mrs. Royal, as Ernes tine, were flrstrate in their different roles. The Association propose to 1 give another entertainment in a week j or two, due notice of which will be given in the papers. A Brick Sewer. At the Council meeting on Tuesday evening, an ortli-; nance was introduced and read first ; time, ordering the construction of a j sewer, to be walled with brick, down Broadalbin street, commencing at or 1 near Seventh street. The sewer will be three feet in diameter, circular in : form, and will be at least two feet be low the surface of the ground. It is ; not the intention of the present. Conn-. ci! to construct the entire sewer during tlie present year, as the cost would lie, ' greater than the city could bear at present; but a portion, say one-half or one-third, might lie constructed with out seriously crippling the city's I finances, leaving the balance to lie ! constructed next season. A better! system of drainage than lias been here- i tofore attempted is needed by our city, and although this sewer will cost a great deal of money, it will last, and effect some material good. To Farmers. Mr. Cheadle announ ces that his large warehouse is in read iness, with improved cleaning appa- Rltns- &L'- t0 receive grain for tlie ,larvest ot lm- Mr. E. S. Merrill lw charge of the warehouse, and will reeeive and deliver grain. Mr. Chea dle is also prepared to furnish sacks to all who want them, and is ready to pay the highest cash price for wheat at all times. Ick. A. Carothers & Co. are in reg ular receipt of ice now, and their soda Is perfectly splendid. Tlie ice Is man ufactured in Portland, Is solid, nice and clear, and what is most commend able, good weight Is given the buyer something said to be entirely new In the ice business as formerly conducted in Portland.

Mr. Oakcs and family, and Mr. Purdom and lady, re turned from Yaquinfl Bay last Friday. Report the weather cold and stormy very disagreeable indeed. Mr. Straw) Price, of P. C. Harper A Co., returned from Ochoco, a few days since. We are sorry to say, his health was not improved by the trip, and he is still in poor health. Mart. V. Brown and lady started for Upper Soda, on Monday, to recruit wasted energies. Mrs. Geo. F. Settlemeir is rusticat ing at Soda Springs. Dr. Rice who has been very sick, Is about again, we are glnd to see. W. H, Newbury. Esq.. returned from Clear Lake on Sunday last, much Invigorated by the trip. Dr. Plumnier drives one of the handsomest single turnouts in the city. It's a 2.40ter! Rev. W. H. Meisse, late pastor of the M. E. Church of this city. left tor his home in Indiana on Monday. He had resided in Oregon about two years. Capt. Geo. G. Smith, of the Uncle Sam. called a moment on Tuesday. Mr. Xesmith was in the city on Wednesday, getting away with his usual "catawba." Rev. Mr. Gray, formerly pastor of the Congregational Church of this city, now of Oakland. California, with wife and child has been visiting relatives and friends here during the week. Mr. Geo. Dawson smiled a smole upon us Tuesday. Geo. lias been a wanderer for yea is, but has returned to stay, this time, and is now located on a farm near Uarrisburg. Kicked. A little son of Mr. John Fagan, Nicholas, aged ten years, one day tills week, was .engaged feeding his father's horses, when one ol the animals, in attempting to kick another, missed and struck young Nicholas on the outer rim of the left eye, producing concussion of the brain. Dr. Plum nier was called in and the little suffer er at last accounts was doing well. Arm Broken. Ncy Gird, oldest son of Mr. Win, Gird of this city, was thrown from a bucking horse on Tues day morning, and his right arm broken just above tlie wrist. He was brought from the Fair Grounds, where the ac cident occurred, to tlie office of Dr. Harris, where the necessary surgical attention was given the fracture. Over Average. A youth in Pesth, tlie other day, repeated the lord's prayer in twenty-two different lan guages. We also "read ol " an editor w ho in "criticise" in fourteen differ ent language:, and speak them all at once. But an editor who can repeat i the Lord's prayer in one language, on i this coast, is over average. Palestine, ETC.-I.nst Monday night a lecture was delivered on the subject f PaiMttmi .ui Hu, n,.i T umi in.,. K , i . ,,..,' LIIIH U l,J til t .'II. , l.lll. ,VU professed to have circumnavigated the globe. A large audience listened lobis lecture, which proved to be both in struct iveand pleasing. Hungry Dogs. On Tuesday night an entrance was made into Mr. Vine. Circle's residence and about half a sack of (lour and a ham stolen. It is evi- dent the Salem thieves are among us. . On W ednesday night the Chiseled blacksmith shop of Mr. Safford was broken into, and a bit and two chisels stolen -probably the tools used in tear ing an entrance into Carother A Co.'s store. Yaquinawakd. Mr. E. Carter and lady, Mm. Crnnor and two children, Mrs. Alison, daughter and niece, and others, started on a pleasure trip to Yaquina Bay the iorepart of the week. A CiiANr,E.Dr. T. W. Harris now has an office over A. Carothers & Co.'s store, First street while his residence Is on Fourth street, four blocks west of the Court House. Felicitous Expression. a Ban gor clergyman says, speaking of the Spring styles ot bonnets, that they are 'Incomprehensible huddlesf finery and frivolity!" Plums. Ripe plums were offered for sale in this city on Tuesday, grown In this city, at one bit per down. Rohiiekt. On Wednesday night, parties broke into the drug store of A. Carothers A Co., on First street, and got away with one or more boxes ot cigar-, etc., and f 15 in cash. Messrs. Hum prey and McKnigbt, nlghtwalch nien, were assing the store, when, probably accidentally, the thief or thl i ve-, knocked the brass pan off of the scales, which, falling on to the counter, made a terrible racket. Idith ! watchmen proceeded at once to the rear end of the establishment, for the ! purpose of obtaining some clue to the J cause of the noise and this was what thrv founds Tbev found the buck j door (iron) open, showing thai the rob ben had fled. Upon a close examina tion, they-found that an entrance had been effected by digging a hole through the rear wall, just under the window, inserting a -.tick, with a prong or fork at one end. into the opening thus made, , and up between the bed plates one of : which was iron and the other wood, with a space of some inches between), j of the window, hooking on to thefasf I enings. ami then opening the iron ' shutters, making ingress as easy as an old shoe. The indications are that there were at least two jicrsoiis engaged in the robbery, and it may be, more. Be Prepared. As there is evident ly a band of thieves prowling through the country, our people should be pre pared for them. Ijoad your shot-guns and revolvers, and if you can get a glimpse of the despicable vagabonds, let them have a heavy charge right where they carry their camas. There's nothing like blue pills for eradicating such evils. Liverpool Prices C crrknt.
