Five thousand dollars worth of peanuts (grnber peas) is said to lie the yield of three-acre sand patches in Virginia, which is certainly over average. The Linn County Medical Society met in this city on Monday. We have it from the Secreuiry tliat it was a very interesting occasion. The Champions of the Red Cross start off with about fifty member?. which they propose to double in the next few weeks. A WlacotHUi man has sued his wife for slander, and dcmaids $50,000. Why not? Tlie latcs show of cannibalism is an advertisement in one of the dailies for 'a good girl to cook." If cannibalism must be indulged in here in Webtoot. why not select the had girls first? Rev. Isaiah Wilson has been labor ing under a severe attack of erysipelas during the week. His lllnes was thought dangerous at first, but by good attention and faithful nursing he is now out of danger. The Mountaineer of Felruary 28tn contains the notice of the marriage of Oliver Jackson, one of Linn county's tallest sons, to Mrs. Mary Van Alsien, of Dalles. Ol's friends here wisb him tlie fullest happiness. Speaking of a deceased person, an Iowa paper re-marks : "He was a good man, but he sometimes bet on the wrong horse, the same as the rest of us." At Corvallfe, on Saturday afternoon, through a detect in the flue, tlie build ing In which Miss liou Simpson has been teaching scliool, caught fire. The fire boys went for it, but as the water supply was insufficient, buckets were brought into requisition and the fire put out. March came in iike a lyon. The storm that commenced on Saturday continued until Tuesday, at first rain ing, but winding up with a pretty fidr snow storm. At times during the prevalence of tlie storm, high winds prevailed, making the strongest build ing tremble. It Is said that a lady In the rura1 districts, since a severe fit of sickness. has been seized with the rhyming mania she can't speak without rhym ing. She takes on after this fashion . It would give me, Matilda, enor mous relief. If you'd conk those potatoes and beans with the beef.

(There is coiifideriihle guess-work about this. At Jefferson on Saturday night, the Grangers held a meeting in the toom over E. X. Thomas' store. Throno-h some defect the fire kindled by them communicated to the building, and came within an ace of getting away with building, store and all. On Wednesday Mart. Taylor re ceived the banjo that formerly be langed to Wm. Pelton, the man who was killed at Harrisbnrg. We are informed that Pelton had been offered $500 for the , ju;triiment before his death. Albany Farmer's Company intern! building a iarge Wharf l front ot their warehouse on tlie Willamette, and n'-so an addition to the building capable of holding 100,000 bushels of gram. A day or two since we received, from the Government Printer at Washing ton, a letter envelope from which the contents had disappeared. There was the envelope, properly directed, but there was nothing else Vi it the envel ope. Was this caused by rough and careless handling on the way, or was the contents extracted, stolen? . We have it from the Granger that the William Bros., lately from Europe, have rented one hundred acres of land from Mr. But khart, and intend entering into the cultivation of flax. They will cultivate the Russian. that being considered best for fiber. A few days since, at Halsev. the aged parents of Bart. Allen departed this life. Mrs. Allen, aged 77 years. died on a Wednesday, and her hus band, aged 73 years, died four days afterward. The strife for office at the Demo cratic Convention to-day will be nnusnally warm, as there are an un usually large number of candidates However, those who fall to get nom inations can consider themselves fbrtu nate. as they will save time and money by the failure. Althousc & Co. are putting up additional lock-boxes for the postofflce. Business Is growing apace, and more boxes are demanded. At the Methodist Sociable and Simper on Wednesday night, some thing over one hundred dollars was secured for the pastor. Mrs. Cheadle started for San Fran cisco on Tuesday, to purchase tlie usual spring and suhvnet supply, general merchandise. Mr. Wm. Snyder, of Scio, gave us a friendly call on Thursday. Short-hand school removed to Ar nell's building. Tint total receipts of the Methodist Sociable and Snppe r were $14il 75. W. C. T.veedale looks very snug in his new place of business. Lee Burkhart's headquarters in this city is at Gradwohl'a store, we be lieve. ("has. Hogne. of Wheeler & Co., Shedd, tarried in the city a day or two during the week. For a "mess" of fresh herring we make our bow to City Recorder. J. R. Herren. Mrs. McClnng makes an excellent article of butter, as we happen to know. Thursday afternoon was spent In a vain endeavor to get up an old fashioned snow-storm. The Methodist Quarterly Meeting commences to-day. Rev. I. D. Dri ver. Presiding Rider. Oraf & Collar have a furniture de pository at A. '"orruthers iftCo.'s drug store, where samples of all kinds of goods kept by them can lie seen. A Good Templar lodge was in stituted at Tangent, on Tuesday night, by Mr. Leland, with fourteen mem bersa fair start. Business has been ot the dullest order during the week. How ever, at this season we can not expect a brisk trade. Tlie issuance of the call for a tax payer's convention, which appeared first in the Granijeir on Thursday, caused a good deal of excitement. Mr. Snm'l E. Young, on Wednes day, received his first installment of new goods for the season from San Francisco, among the rest some beautiful parasolslate styles. Call and see the new styles. As several of the Democratic, prima ries In this countv "instructed" for M. V. Brown for State Printer. Mart, is bitterly opposed to looking elsewhere for candidates. He. think the Tax payer's convention mow. a Caynse" humbug, made a purpose to get away with him. U is rough on Brown, but then he'll have to stand It.

The viands, which were ot the best and in plentiful supply, weie tastefully aud artistically arranged, tlie very sight of the taoles increasing ones apietite. However, we knew perfectly well, as soon as the project was mentioned, that it would be a success, for the ladies of Albany never make a failure of anything they undertake. The Methodist Society of this city is not very large, nninerlenlly speaking, tint the lady members are all workers. No Catch Him. Sheriff Parker ar rived at his home in this city on Sun day, from his trip to San Francisco tn quest of Charley Brown, the nan who stole a buggy and team some time ago from Bartges & Merrick. Mr. Parker failed to get Brown, the latter gentle man having probably got wind of the Sheriff's business, and cither left the city or hid himself so securely that he could not be discovered. Mr. Parker, having put the police of 'Frisco on the scent, expects to yet behold Brown's form in Linu county's 10,000 jail. The Linn County Medical Asso-CUTiON-At Its regular monthly meet ing held in this city on Monday, March 2d, discussed at great length the cause and prevention of typhoid fever. Also the necessity of proper dralnaae In the city of Albany to prevent certain forms of disease. The Association meets the first Monday of each month.

The Granoriw at Halsev.- We are informed that the Grangers of Halsey intend setting up in the general merchandise business at Halsey, after tlie plan of their Eastern brethren. The canital stock is wit at 160,000. A BttiiKii- Nkkhkii A petition has been efrciiliited (luring the week receiv ing the signatures of a large number of the tax-payers of Linn county, pray ing the County Court to appoint at least three Commissioners whose duty it shall he to examine info the practi cability and report the probable cost of erecting n bridge over tin South Fork of the Rantiain river at some point most eon 'enlent to the people residing ut HRnn, ,;,r V!U,inp this city, At present the citizens of that thriving eoiiiniimit are compelled when coining tn this city on business,. to go bv a roundabout way. consuming much time, and at a great expense, as dnrtnj?n portion of the year, at least during the rainy season, the Sant iam is not tordahle. This is deeuvda great hardship by the residentwoffne Porks, and was the main reason for asking the Legislature, at its session, to set tlietnvtp in the Comity business for thi-.qselves. If ir is found that a troa?. uUsjantlal bridge can lie erected at a desirable tvi t for Crosslin?, at a reas onable cost, the conidv should at least agree to furnish the lumber and other material necessary, while contributioiia could doubtless he tx'itrv to erect and finish the bridge, There is nothing plainer than that a bridge isCemnnded at that point, and that such an im provement would prove pecuniarily beneficial, in the long run, tofhisclty. At least let the Commissioners be ap pointed, and the ,-nst of building a bridge asceitaincd. BuiOlOUSThe third quarterly meeting ot the M. E.
