Tin: Reason Wnv.-f !k re are 212 churches and about 1,000 mini-tors in Chicago. And there are people in other parts of the country who wonder why Chicago is such a moral city. On the recent voyage to New York of the steamship City qf Brooklyn, a woman who was a steerage passenger, became Insane from sickness, and threw her little boy four years old, overboard, then, with her baby in her arms. jumped into the sea.

Poor fellow." y , ' j.i il An Iowa editor, recently, to keep up style, ran away with another man's wife. He (lid not get off so easily, however, as he Imagined he would. The man followed him, and overtook the truant pair, The editor got be hind the woman, and pre pa red" to sell his life as dearly as possible. He was uncertain a- to whether the outraged husband would snoot hhn him with a earvlnir-knife or murder ; lie stood j there, like the, boy stood on the burn ing deck, and calmly awaited the result. The outraged husband came up to within two feet of the editor, and said : "Cuss your impudence, I want you to stop my )aper,'' that was all. The editor recovered him-clf. and said he would have tlie matter at tended to at once. During all ithls trying scene the woman stuck to the i-ditor like a sand bur to a girl's stock ing.

It Low asserts that 'Hiram Smith will be ; overwhelmingly defeated that he will ! not receive twenty votes in Albany precinct next October! The little rogue might have said, with equal truth ami show of common sense, that "Hi Smith will get but one vote in this precinct that of the pampered editor of the REGIS1 tit. who i gorged I with government printing, and dare l not vote otherwise!" A QtftET Neighborhood. Under j the above heading the last iue of the New York Dfepatcfi has the following: j "The young ladies who promenade the 1 lower end of the Bowery Were in better humor than usual Saturday evening.

In his family he prohibited the use of animal foods animal life was sacred on his farm, and the trees were never felled by the ax. All forms ot religion ami all temples of devotion were saered to him, and in passing churches he never failed to bare his bead reverently. Jefferson Davis. ex-President of a somewhat unfortunate Confederacy who has heretofore conducted him self with commendable good sense appears to have shown no slight de gree of aiiiinity in a recent speech at White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia. He took occasion to assert that had the Southern people known what was to follow a surrender, tbev would never have been conquered, and also gloried : In the foct that the women of the South j would not be reconstructed, and hence there was hope that the children would grow up with the old principle in jlliem.

The Albanv and Santiaui Canal Company would respectfully call the attention of the public, and especially the Capitalist, and those desiring to engage in manufaeturing. to their gigpntlo water power and water priv ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet constantly ftowingevery minute, equal to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 'M feet fall, sufficient 'for the most exten sive machinery, w'uh ground on which to erect the necessary building-, etc. The Company deem it but proper that the public should know more fully the locality of tills great water power, its facilities and surrounding-, ill order that those uuamuaiiited may form some estimate of its value, The city of Albany Is the county-seat of I. inn county, located on the south east bank of" the Willamette river, about HHI miles south of Portland, by river, and SO miles by railroad; Routh of Salem IS miles by river and 30 miles by railroad, and north of Eugene City 45 miles. Albany is located in a prairie of the same name, which is the great agricul tural center of the Willamette Valley, and it is believed that upward of 500, 1)00 bushels of surplus' wheat will be re ceived at that point, the pti senl season. The most of it will find its way to tor- I eigh markets, either by boats or rail ! road to Portland, and from thence ii ! on the ocean. The Willamette river I is navigated by beautiful steamers, ! carrying Iroui 80.to 300 Ions, running I as fer as Albany some ten months In ! the year. Also, the 0. & C. R. R , 1 with its beautiful locomotives, is pass j ing through the city dally. The city of Albany is loc'ed upon ;i high, roll ! lug prairie, with ih" Calapoola, a beau- ! turn creek, flowing into the Willamette , river on the west, the water of which Is used in driving two large flouring j nulls, situated on the hank of the ll j lamettc river. The city is about one ; mile in length, running east and west, land from one-hulf to three-tourths of a mile in width, and i- laid off with I streets of good width. The Canal, which Is the subject and ' object of this communication, receives its waters trotu t he houth santiaui river, which heads In the greatCascade mountains, gome 75 miles east of Albanv ; thence running westerly through a valley of the -zinu" name, to Lebanon, a vuiage locatea near roe west, bank of said river, 13 miles wt Of Albany. The Canal receives the waters from the Santlam river at that point, theiice running west to its ter minus at Albany. The main Santiaui flows northward, and emptied Its mountain waters into the Willamette river 10 jnl - northeast of Albany. The Canal is brought from Lebanon through n beautiful prairie for a dis tance of 12 miles, and empties into the Willamette river, forming oil its way and in the city some of the finest water powers for manufacturing purposes found on the Pacific coast. There are but tew, if any, points in the State which -nrpaes Albany now, for man ufacturing facilities. Cheap water power anu easy ot access, and conven ient transportation, either by water or railroad, jmd the location beautiful and healthy.' The Canal Company oilers liberal inducements to persons desiring to en gage in the business ol manufacturing, and will furnish water power upon the most reasonable terms. Manufactur ing of all kiuds is needed in Oregon, and could be made profitable. The Canal Company wUI agree to furni-h. within sixty days, any water power needed, from a button factory to that Of a locomotive. Immigrants and others are earnestly invited and requested to visit Albany and examine for themselves. Heal property can yet be procured on very reasonabli terms, Iwth in and out- of the city. Our people compare favor ably with the rest of mankind, morally socially, politically and financially. Published by order of the Board of Director-. Sept. 8th, 1H7J1. L. Ef.KIXS. D.
