State Geologist, concluded a very interesting course of lectures on geology Monday evening, at the Congregational Urareti. Good audiences were in attendance during the course. From the general remarks of those in attendance, we judge that our people were well repaid for their attendance. Mr. Condon is an easy, graceful speaker, and has tlie knack of gaining and retaining the at tention of his audience from the lie ginning to the end of his lecture. Mr. C. went from here to Corvallis, where he will deliver his course of 'lectures. Wespeak for him full houses.

Ijist week we pnbllshetl aresolniion adopted by the Business Council.of the Patrons of Husbandry, In session In this cttv on Tuesday, the 10th inst.. recommending to tle different Granges throughout tlie State not to purchase any plows or otlier agricultural imple ments manufactured In tlie State of Illinois, because said manufacturers had combined and resolved not to sell to Farmer's Granges, etc., at less than retail Drices. Our Granger seem to understand the business in hand thor oughly, and are determined to com mence at the fomita in-head in the cor rection of evils that lwve borne so heavily upon tlie prosperity of Oregon Tlwv are determined to stop the con stant drain ot money to the East in the purchase of agricultural implements, and jiatronize equally meritorious manufactures and manufacturers in our own State, thus retaining the money at home. Hundreds of thou sands ot dollars have been annually sent out of the country to purchase im plements for farm use. when equally as good an article might have leen ob tained at home, had proper induce ments been offered First class agri cultural implements, machinery ot all kinds, of the best and most approved patterns, wagons, etc, can be made right lit re in Albany, and first class mechanics stai.d ready to go Into their manufacture whenever the farmers give any indication that they will give them their patronage and suport. All Right. The creditors of C. B. rnmstoek Co.. the great grain deal er of Portland, undertook to Infinite j oiirlellowcitiren, Mr. W. S. Newbury. In the bankruptcy proceedings recently instituted agains' the firm, alleging that Mr. Newbury was a member of the firm. After a thorough and search ing examination, by experts specially entrusted with the business, of the hooks, twiners, etc.. of Mr. Newbury. and discovering not a particle ot evi dence of any partnership ever having existed between Mr. Newbury and C. B. Comstock & Co., the proceedings in bankruptcy, as against Mr. New- . t,oa.ita withdrawn. This mm, nonv is proof positive. Ifanyhadbeen want ing, that Mr. N has been acting ill good faith, in his business representa tion, with our people. Although act ing as the agent of C. B. Comstock & Co.,-in the purchase and shipment of grain, no shipment of grain was made to Comstock & Co. until tlie grain had been purchased and the purchase money paid therefor, or remaining in his hands to lie so disbursed. We be lieve no man has ever lost a cent prom ised him in any transaction with Mr. N.; but that in all his dealings, while, ot course, looking out for his own in terests, as of all ot us do. he has also endeavored to do tlie fair and honor able by all his customers. As a conse quence, no man stands higher in the confidence of our people than IV. S. Newbury. HOT Ashes Again. Almut twelve o'clock on Satunlay night last, some one going Into tlie Exchange Hotel In this City, observed a bright Jlght in the rear portion of tlie building, and called the attention of the landlord to the fact. Upon P0,ne ,0 ,,,e vhve indicted, a verv nice little fire was discovered, which had just falrlyrot under wav. and had not the discovery been made ut In the nk of time, tlie hotel would soon have been all a-blaze. and have received serious damage If not entirely destroyed. The cause of the fire was the same old story -some one had thrown hot ashes among the debris in the hack yard. The last fire in this city, it will be remembered, was caused by placing hot ashes in a wooden box : the ashes set fire to the box. and a fine building was seriously damaged. Isn't it about time that people bad learned that de positing hot ashes In barrels or wooden lioxe, or throwing them among dry chips, straw, or otlier light material, is a very unsafe as well as unprofi table mode of disposing of them? To say the least, this manner of dispos ing of hot ashes is very careless, and i a ,.wi.i- n verv reckless dis- position or great want of judgment- Albany, like the majority ot the cities and towns In Oregon, is built up principally of woollen buildings, and during the Summer esjieclally it would be a very easy matter to kindle a fire that it would he almost im possible to subdue until a great por tion of the ctty was destroyed. It certainly is then tbe part of wisdom to be verv cautions where you place your hot, ashes, or even where yon throw the part'r smoked cigar. A little caution and care may save vou and your neighbors much trouble and loss. Novelties.-W. H. McFarland has a full line of stoves and ranges, among which may be mentioned that chief among ranges, the Richmond, and a vast numlier of useful and ornamental articles for the kitchen and dining room. The number and variety of the goods offered by him is not excelled, we think, by any house in rlie valley, nnil his nriecs are very fair indeed. ...... ... ,-- As he is expecting the arrival of a large invoice of new goods from the Eat in a few days,he requests us to say that for the next sixty days stove, pumps, etc.. will be sold regardless of cost.

The large shipments of Wheat last month has materially decreased the surplus on hand, yet there will doubt less be a much larger surplus left over than Riitttfimfed earlier 111 the season.

Baltimore, we believe, has charge of tlie work, an evidence that it will be faithfully and well done. It will be an ornament to the Prairie, a monument to tlie "liber ality of the farmers In that neighbor hood, and afford an elegant and com fortable hall for the meetings of Prajrle Granfp of the Patrons of Husbandry, while, the vouth of that School District will haye ample accommodation.

Mr. Finlayson has an article in yesterday's Democrat, urging the far mers to take action with regard to imnrovini? the Willamette river. He says Linn county farmers, although they have a railroad to depend lqion. are willing to join in and aid their less fortunate neighbors by Improving the river. Let the other counties inter ested Come to the scratch, and Linn demand at that figure. In this city W cents is probably the highest quotation, sacked and deliv ered. There is still a large amount of Wheat left unsold in the Willamette valley, the possessors of which will be fortunate if they do not have to hold over until next season for a market. Oats seem to be unusually dull, both In San Francisco and Portland. We quote the price III the former at fl 45 31 80? 100 lbs.; In the latter at 5c f bushel, sacked and delivered. The famine In India may give a favorable turn to the market forbread- stutTs it. is among the possibles but hardly probable. We give the latest quotations below: For Sale.
