Madame Am Bish op and troope delighted the lovers of the grand in music of this city, at the Opera House on Tuesday evening, bj uiie of the most brilliant concerts ever given in the city. The attendance Was large, and was com posed of the beauty and grace of the city. Of Madame Bishop we need say nothing her fame is world-wide. .Miss Marriner, the soprano, also has achieved a repu tation as a fmtclass vocalist, and the more than sustained that repu tation on Tuesday evening. Mr. Wilkie, the tenor, is loud, but Mr. Campbell, the basso, takes the "di lapidated linen from the shrubbery" every whiz. Harry J. lsk, the pianist, gets away with the music box m magnificent style. As a piano sharp, lie knows it all we don't want any better music than be can mash out of a square grand piano. . The concert was rare treat, and lovers of musk) appreciated it to the full. Our 110,000 Jail. Tlie three prisoners confined in our county jail on Saturday created considerable excitement by a report gaming cur rency that they had torn down the wall and escaped. The report proved only part true they had dug quite a hole in the jail, but had not escaped, as, fortunately, they were discovered and their design frustrated. They are now securely locked op in the iron cells, where the Sheriff thinks they are liable to remain until sent to Salem or liber ated. But while the rumor of the escape was current, the comments on the projectors and builders of oar ten thousand dollar jail were not of the most excruciat ingly com plimentary character.

Head his card in this issue, and then call at the Webfoot i.ti. la i and purchase one of those nice, juicy, tender steaks. Starred in the Abdomen. An affray between Tom Ballard and A, R. Backus, on Monday evening, in Weller's saloon, resulted in a stab and a knockdown, the first named catching the knockdown, and the last the stab the wound being made by a pocket-knife, in the lower part of the abdomen. Ballard was arrested and placed in jail. Backus is getting along as well as con'd be expected. Grub Land. Last tall (Jeo. Simpson had eleven acres of land cleared of oak grubs. Tlie ground was then plowed and seeded to wheat. Those eleven acres ot sod land have just been harvested, with an average yield of about forty bushels per acre. Two acres of the eleven turned out over one hundred bushels. Fifteen acres of stubble lat-d adjoining yielded a fraction less than thirty bushels per acre Look for 'em. N. Baum started for 'Frisco on Wednesday, where he intends , purchasing a mammoth stock of dry goods, gro ceries, clothing, eto., for the trade of this city and county. From his known excellent taste and discrimi nation in the selection of goods, our readers may expect a "sight feast" when they arrive. , Frank Wood Has been doing a lively business in the blacksmith ing line all Summer. Farmers all know where to go to wlten they want a nice job of blacksmithiug Fiank has a good stock of wagons, and various agricultural implements on band, for sale. Call and see them. Complimentary.

Prof. A. L. Francis Of Salem, will visit this city next week, for the purpose ot tuning and re pairing pianos. The Prof, has a high reputation in this line, and will doubtless give entire satisfaction to all needing his services. Tub Weather Has been cool daring the week splendid tor bar. veetere.

The necessary number of skilled mechanics and laborers necessary to carry ou so large an establishment as the one under contemplation, will form quite a community of itself ; and the establishment ot one great industry is but the forerunner or parent of other creative industries, . .M1 . - continually adding to the aggregate wealth anT' general prosperity. Every citiaen is directly or indi rectly interested in this matter. It you want property to appreciate, business to increase, population to flow in an almost uninterrupted stream, finding its terminus among us, you must do something to at tract that wealth, that business, that population, and iu no other way can success be reached so speedily and so surely as by build, ing up and fostering home industries within your own borders. , , Improvements. Mr. A. F. Cherry will immediately' commence constructing a ditch and flume, con veying wafer from the Santiam Canal to his Foundry on First street. He will tap the Canal near Morris & Parker's new warehouse, running the ditch along the river front to the mouth of the big gulch that passes to the Willamette just east of Kurd's saw-mill, pass around the front of the mill to the foundry, the water, after being utilised, fall ing into the gulch and flowing into the Willamette. The flame across the gulch will require a large amount of timbers and lumber, and of course will cost "like scissors." The ditch when completed will carry a thousand inches of water, affording an immense power. Mr. Cherry will also build an addition to the already large foundry build ing, on the east side, directly over the gulch, ot forty by sixty feet. Mr. Cherry, by his superior ability and skill as a mechanic, by un flagging industry, bat above all by the accommodating spirit and gen erous liberality manifested toward all who have favored him with their patrcjage in vbe past, has, built up a splendid business, that will increase and expand from year w ""Bui pwp.-- keep at home the coin that would otherwise be sent to the East, to be teen no more forever. . Our first dHty to.o,nrseves, to. Qnr city, to .the commonwealth, is to aid and encourage all such enterprises of utility, first, last and all the time.

Whether prices will open at high or low figures is at present simply a matter of conjecture. In the mean time our farmers don't seem to be worried over the matter one way or the otlier. Warren & Co. have the Collias & Lillie Reversible Bed, made en tirely ot wood, that looks as though it would fill the bill as a spring bed equal to the higher priced ones. $7 gets away with one of them. Isaac McClung commenced har vesting yesterday. He has three hundred acres in wheat, all ot which he intends to cut and bind, believ ing it to be lees expensive and more profitable than to use a header. An additional amount of water was to have been let into the San tiam Canal yesterday, to enable the Red Jacket to proceed to Lebanon for a cargo of wheat Thus we glide. Mr. Pierce is to have a new ferry built, which will be sixty-two feet in length by sixteen in width. S. R. Smith is to be the builder, and proposes to have it ready in a fort night. Tom Ballard, arrested tor stab bing Aaron Backus on Monday night, had ao examination on Tues day and was acquitted. Clay Knhn is able to be out once more, on crutches, after having been confined to his room for long, weary weeks, with a broken ankle. Milt. Hale was reported slightly improved yesterday, with hopes of an entire recovery. The Albany Farmers' warehouse has sent out 59,000 sacks this sea sou. We learned yesterday tbat Dr. Alexander was slowly improving iu health. - A broom factory is being erected D street., , I ' See premium list to be awarded ; at the coming County Fair. It is liberal, and has been shorn ot some i of tlie features heretofore objected ; to. Prof. Francis' new song, "Beauti ful Lena," sung at the concert j Tuesday night by Mr. Wilkie, was encored. I The Albany Farmers' Ware 1 house had received between six and seven thousand bushels of the new crop of wheat up to Wednesday. No marked improvement in the condition of Mrs. JiidgeiJaber, wc are sorry to say. M. M. Hart's elegant little cot tage on Raihad street is about completed. ' '":! m ' Fidb is dead. She got in the wiy of a flying club, and sunk under the blow. Vale, purp. Quite a number of horses are in training on the Fair grounds for the coming County Fair. The last we heard of Bill Tally and his crowd they were at Whisky Springs a suggestive name. Wm. Tally, Wm. Miller, Geo. Weller and Geo. Burkhart started for the mountains on Tuesday. Two prominent citizens of this city "fell out about quarreling" the other evening. We have had no Summer weath er to speak ot so far, and now ft is too late Winter will soon be here. Wheat coming in finely. Farm ers busy as bees, reaping, threshing and hauling in the golden grain. Prof. Francis called on Wed nee day. Will return to the city tbe first of next week. HARRIED.
