game of hall at school, :ind whi'e run
ning: fell, the wtiiile weight of the hody

ing it between (he wrist and elbow, in
about the same place it was broken
6ome two months ago. wltegi be fell
from the water tank near foot of Wash
ington street. The arm had entirely
recovered, and he had been using it
for near a month; hut the strain upon
it Monday was too great, and it
snaped in twain once more. Dr.

and has hopes of its early recovery.
Larcie Receipts. Last Friday
Messrs. Moms & Parker received one
hundred and eight wagon loads of
Wheat about 7.000 bushels. On the
same fray tha Farmers' Warehouse,
just opposite Morris & Parker's fine
warehouse, received one hundered ami
twelve wagon loads a total of 220
wagon loads, 25 of which were four
horse. If the other seven wheat de
positories in the city done as well on
that day, between 50,000 and 60,000
bushels of wheat were received and
stored here on that dar. Morris &
Parker have over 60.000 busliels of
wheat in store, several thousand
bushels of dats, and the stream of wag
ons still continues, unloading the yel
low gram at their doors.
Crockery, Lamps, Etc. Mr. Wm.
C Tweedaie. at his establishment next
door west of this office, the first of the
week received an invoice of crockery
ware, glassware, etc., that deserve the
attention of the ladies. Among the
lot is some of the prettiest tea sets im
aginable, perfect beauties, that are
bound to go like hot cakes ; a fine lot
of glassware, new styles ; the neatest
style of syrup jog that we have seen ;
a new style df parlor lamp that ia
specially handsome and convenient.
But then to be appreciated they must
be seen. Call at Billy's, and examine
or yourselves.
Fike at Lebanon. Between one
and two o'clock on Sunday morning,
September 13th. a fire was discovered
in Mr. Luther Elkins dry goods store
in Lebanon. The fire had made such
headway before it was discovered, and j
burned with such fierce rapidity, that
but little was saved from the building.
The dwelling adjoining, occupied by
Mr. P. Fan-ell, who had charge of the
store, soon caught fire, and although
through the efforts of citizens most ot
the furniture, etc., was saved, the
building was burned to the ground.
The Post Office, S. H. Clanghton,
Postmaster, was kept in the store
building, and was entirely destroyed ;
papers, letters, books, stamps, etc..
all were burned up, causing a loos to
the Postal Department of some $) 50
or $200, while Mr. Clanghton loses as
much more. The store-room contained
goods to the amount of $6,000 or
$7,000. probably not over $100 worth
of which was saved. There was an
insurance on the store building of
$S00; on the goods. $4,000, and on
the dwelling. $1,200. as we are in
formed a total of $6,000. The prob
able loss, overai.d above the insurance,
will not be oer $3,000.
Inviting Goods. Sam E. Young
gives notice that he is receiving and
now opening one of the largest and
best selected stocks of goods ever bro't
to Albany. Having had eight years'
experience in purchasing and selling
good in (hi market, he is certainly
qualified to purchase saleable good at
their very lowest cash value, which
enables him to sell them at lower rates
and smaller profits than ever before.
Persons wishing to buy good of most
any kind, will find it to their advant
age to call on him and get his price
liefore purchasing their Fall and Winter
supplies.
Ship Yard A New Steamboat.
The grounds just below the Magnolia
mills, on the east side of the Calipooia

secured, anil will be put into the new
steamboat. Mr. N. will use her in
conveying lumber from his mill at
Corvallis to this citv.
Speendid Woolen Goods. Mr.
W. K. Kirk, of Brownsville, called
on Tuesday, bringing with him speci
mens of the goods manufactured by the
Brownsville Woolen Mills. We ac
knowledge that we were really sur
prised at the excellence, both in qual
ity and finish of the various goods ex
hibited. The doeskins, cassimers,
hardtimes, and numerous other brands
of cloth, as well as flannels of various
qualities and styles, give evidence of
superior workmanship and excellence.
Ot course such goods are bound to take
with a discriminating public, and the
goods manufactured by the Browns
ville Woolen Mills will commard rapid
sale as soon as the public are made
acquainted with their excellence.
Sheep H upbandry. As an Indica
tion of the value of this industry,' we
cite a case : A gentleman of onr ac
quaintance expended 1213 in the
purchase of sbeep. He kept the sheep
seventeen months, when he sold them,
realizing $496 over and above their
first cost and all expenses, besides the
benefits to 'the Jand they grazed on,

The finishing touches were being put
on, and the Captain informed os he
intended to launch her the next day
yesterday. It i.s a staunch, well built
cratt, 16x62 feet, and is certaiuly a
credit to the builder.

ance is desired, as business of impor

the Magnolia Mill, and making other
improvements. The old four reel
chest was taken out, and to make room
for the new improvement, one side of
the root of the main building had to
be raised five feet quite a little feat
in itself. The new chest will about
double the flouring capacity of the
mill, enabling them to turn out some
five hundred barrels of flour per day.

ensto has charge of the work, is a
guarantee; that it will be a first class

be secured.

acres, was spring wheat, .giving a yield
of 1.650 bushels, or at the rate of
nearly 2S'o bushels per acre.
FINANCE AND COMMERCE.

Tlie fact, now generally conceded,
that England Is the only conntry de
manding wheat, nnd that her demands
are limited to 00,000,000 bushels, ad
ded to the fact that most of the sur
rounding nations have a surplus, and
will compete with the United States
in supplying her needs, does not indi
cate that prices for the Pacific coast
staple will rule exasperatlngly high in
that market.
It is asserted that the carrying trade
is very dull throughout the world, and
that shipowners are anxious to obtain
charters even at low rates, rather than
let their vessels remain idle. Proba
bly there will be little difficulty expe
rienced iu securing sufficient tonnage
to transport our surplus wheat to mar
ket at fair rates, but that prices after
market is reached will approximate
those of last seasou does not appear so
plain.
