The City Marshal lias been putting in new street crossings where needed, and lie has been doing the work well. We should judge from the looks of some of our exchanges that a new roller would vastly improve the print. The litigant law having been re pealed, parties who ffcive legal adver tising to do can choose the paper in which it shall appear.

Friend Hindman. who lives out near Camp Polk, came in on Monday to renew his supply of ammunition. Hindman gets away with quantities of game during each winter. Mr. F. S. Crosby, Lighthouse Su perintendent at Yaquina Bay, shed the light of his countenance upon us Monday. Uncle Sam has not a more faithful or efficient officer than Mr. Crosby. A large number of OddFellows and their wives, went from this city to Brownsville yesterday, to witness the ceremonies incident to the dedication of the new Hall built by Callapooya Lodge No. 43.

No change in the produce markets. Butter, fresh country roll, is stiff" at 25c per pound, while eggs hold their own at 25c per dozen. There has been scarcely any change in price in these two articles all summer. We invite our friends all over the county, specially, and throughout the State, to write us as often as conven ient, giving the local news, etc. Write briefly and to the point, on one side of the paper only. The demand for houses seems to fie on the increase. Twenty or thirty neat cottage buildings would lie an investment that would pay, as they would rent right along, paying a large per cent., on the money invested in them. If the times are hard, stop your paper at once, but don't discontinue your allowance of whisky or tobacco. A good paper is a great comfort to the wife and children, to be sure, but that is no reason why you should provide them with a weekly luxury at the ex pense ot a daily necessity ! An Eastern exchange publishes the astounding fact that an Albany girl compels her feller to repeat the Lord's prayer every ti me he kisses her. That's too thin, entirely. We havn't any such hard-hearted girls in this neck o' woods. Dick Fox has his endless chain-over-sho t-backaction-doiible-barreled-n o n ex plosive-horse rigged wood saw un der complete control these days, and woodpiles melt befor that machine like dew before the mornii.g luminary! Our people are new beginning to think of the erection of a woolen mill. A little effort would secure the neces sary stock. Let us have it there Is no point in the State where such an institution would pay better, and no place offering so many inducements. Messrs. Morris & Parker have built an additional room on the cast side of their warehouse. The front or south end is fitted lip as n'n office, while the north end is used to store grain sacks, which, by the way, require no little room, as they have used about $10,000 worth this season. We understand the Albany & San tiam Canal Company have offered to donate to the Home Manufacturing Company a block of land just- east of Morris & Parker's warehouse, at the mouth of the Canal, on condition that they erect their buildings thereon. This is liberal, certainly. Mr. McAlexander, an old citizen of Albany, but of late a resident of or near Eugene City, was in the city on Tuesday.

He is stopping for the present at Soda vine. Wm, Donaca, of Lebanon,, lost a valuable horse at the State Fair last week. The road between the city and'' the grounds was lull of teams, and in attempting to pass round a back in front of. his team, he met a returning hack, the pole of which struck the horse in the side, penetrating the ani mal several inches, and killing him almost instantly. Piper & Maydenbaum, of Seattle, W. T., occupied a booth at the State Fair, where they manufactured the finest kind of candies, etc. Through the politeness ot our worthy County Treasurer, Capt. Shields, we have been favored with a specimen of their candy, which shows what art and skill combined can produce, even in so sweet an article. Thanks, Cap. We commence, this week, printing tne laws, as tney win taKe up tne entire first and eighth pages of our pa per for some weeks, we shall issue a supplement each week, containing the latest news, etc., so that our readers will be gainers instead of losers be cause of such laws. The Register will keep up it's lick, so long as it is so freely and liberally backed by this, public. Baker Gay and bis brother. Good, started for the headwaters of the Mc Kenzle, where they will spend the winter trapping beaver, martin, otter, etc. They will also kill and cure ven ison and other wild game. As Baker is an old trapper, the brothers will doubtless have a successful run during the winter, returning in the spring with "dead loads" of furs and jerked meat. Our artistic friend. Wadsworth. re turned from the region of Moss Butte, a day or two since, where he went to locate a ranch. He succeeded, he in forms us, in obtaining 100 acres of good land in that section, on to which he intends moving his family at once. If Wad. proves to be as good a farmer as he is a painter, he will be a million aiie yet. On Tuesday, a little son of Mr. Chambers, who lives on A. Hackle man's farm, probably fifteen years of age, was thrown from a refractory horse witli such force as to deprive him of his senses for a time. He was considerably contused about the bead, ond thumb nail torn off, and pretty well shook up generally. Dr. Linscy Hill gave him the necessary medical attention, and lie will soon be around again. She saw him on his bright blue steed, A dusting down the road. And pit a pat, and pit a pat Her little beartlet goed ; And soft she sobbered to herself, "Though swift his paces be, , He cannot kite so fast but what My heart keeps up with he.'
