an institution.

Christmas. Our people generally
observed Christmas in the old style,
refraining from labor and indulging in
roast turkey and trimmings. There
were not as many fire-crackers ex
ploded as usual, our youth seeming to
think the most sensible way of spend
ing their spare cash was to invest in
something of substantial value, such
as books, wearing apparel, etc. We
bear of no accidents to mar the pleas
ures of the day.
The Literary Societies Of Al
bany Collegiate Institute gave an en
tertainment to the citizens of this city,
on Tuesday night, which was largely
attended. We were unable to attend,
owing to pressing business, butleam
that those who attended were amply
repaid for their time and trouble. Our
unavoidable absence on the occasion
prevents a detailed notice, and we can
only reiterate the general sentiment,
that, as a whole, it was a decided suc
cess, one of which the Aesthetics and
Sigma Phis may well feel proud of.
Dissolved. The late firm of

Boats. Since- the rain-fall, giving
plenty of water in the Willamette, we

For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing:
dash water in them ; remove cinders,
etc., with the round point of a lead
pencil.
Kemove wax rrom tne ear ny tema
water: never put a hard instrument
in the ear.
If any artery is cut, compress above
the wound ; if a vein is cut, compress
below.
If choked, tret on all fours and
oousrh.
I'orsiutnt Durns, uin tne part in
cold water ; if the skin is destroyed,
cover with varnish.
Smother a Are with carpets, etc. ;
water will often spread burning oil
and increase the danger. Before pass-
u.K through smote tnKe a long oreatn
and then stoop low : but If carbonic
acid gas is suspected, walk erect.
duck poisoned wounds unless your
mouth is sore ; enlarge the wound, or
better, cut out the part without delay,
hold the wounded pert as long as can
be borne to a hot coal or end of a ci
gar.
, in case 01 poisoning, excite vomit
ing by tickling the throat, or oy warm
waft and mustard.
For add poisons give alkilles; for

If in water .neat on the back, with
the nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplexy, raise tne head ana
