ALBANY REGISTER. Paper for Orriron. SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1874, Wooijen FACTORy The Fctcbr. Steps tat the erection of a woolen lactory in tin Spring, have been taken. Mr. Pratt, prooably the most tliorough manufacturer on the coast, is chief of the enterprise a certain guarantee ot its success. The building and ma chinery will cost foUOOO. ami will prove a first class investment. To the energy of such men as compose the directory of the Sautiam Canal, is due the growing prosperity of our city. The building of a woolen mill is only the forerunner of other large enterpri ses which the near future will develop in our city. Thesua"essfuljpnipletion of the Santiam Canal has brought to our doors the best ami cheapest power for propelling machinery, and when the many and great advantages of the "situation" are made known to the "outside world," capital, the only thing lacking at present to establish and successfully prosecute all kinds of industries in our midst, will be easy of attainment. The out-look for Albany never appeared so fair and promising, and with a continued efTort in the right direction by our people, all will be and remain well with ns. Again we say, all honor to those who have, against a sea ot obstacles, stood firm and unyielding in their deter mination to push to a successful issue the first great caue of all our antici pated prosperity, the Albany & San tiam Canal.

A man named Woods, by occupation a tailor, died at hl residence in Brownsville, on flu 2d inst. it is supposed, from the effects of poison administered by his own hand. He had been on a spree through the holidays, which so de pressed his wife that she procured and awallowed poison ; but as the fact was discovered almost Immediately after tlie act, and medical assistance ob tained, her rash design was frustrated. When Woods sobered off, and began to 'reflect seriously on the cause which had driven his wife to attempt suicide, it to supposed he concluded to relieve her of all future trouble on his account aud he has. Arson. A fellow named A. StClair. has been arrested in Portland, charged with being the party who fired the city on the morning of the memorable Au gust 2d, 1873. The police of Portland had been 011 his track for months, but not until the 7th Inst, was there deem ed sufficient evidence in their hands to warrant a conviction. He is an old penitentiary convict, and under vari ous aliases, lias ben guilty ot many crimes. It Is to be hoped the evidence this time may prove sufficiently clear to enable the Court to free community c such a pest forever. Vbry Low. The wife of our worthy City Recorder, J. R.

George Robinson and his brother were digging a well, and at the depth of 30 feet they came to a clam bed, and among the petrified clams the finger was discovered.

Robinson to Mr. Wood, for his museum in Portland. The Republic We are In receipt of this excellent political magazine for December.
