Head the new ads. in this issue, and patronize men who do business on business principles. The new building on corner of Broadalbin and First streets, under charge, of Ike Conn, is rapidly Hearing completion. Ike is a rusher. As Wm. Rice, telegraph operator at the depot, had his wages unexpee fcedly increased a few days since, he is in rather an ecstatic frame of mind. Very little plowing has been done, so far. we are informed. More rain will have to fall before the ground can be successfully plowed. Messrs. Beach & Montelth. of the Albany City Mills, have shipped five hundred and. sixty-two tons of Hour on the Atbutua for Europe probably Dundee, Scotland. She universal cry is "hard times,"' all because our principal article of ex port, wheat, is down to 55358c per bushel, and nearly everybody refusing to sell at that figure. Mrs. Jane Clay pool, daughter of Mr. S. M. Pcnningtcn, died of consumption last Sunday afternoon, and was buried on Monday afternoon.

Melau's, the merchant taylor on First street, unless you want good goods and perfect "fits" every time. The annual migration of wild geese has commenced, and large llocks daily pass, living southward. Large flocks of swan, too. have been noticed, mak ing their way toward the sunny south. If we are not to have a cold winter, all the old signs have "played out." Miss Susan I?. Anthony admits that she did sit on Tiltou's knee, and it didn't fill her so full ot pride that she can't speak to common folks the same as ever, neither. Chas.

Hutsinpillar, who resides on the farm he purchased of Mr. Reed, about four miles from this city, started homeward on the John L. Stephens, which left Portland yesterday. Mr. Hutsinpillar likes Oregon so well that he proposes to sell his pesessions in Illinois, and return to Linn county at nn carlv dav. lie will be welcome; A few more weeks and we will have j completed the I. S. laws. In the mean time we shall issue a supplement each week until they are completed. Our readers will therefore get more reading matter than they bargained for. Portland buyers are paying about : ?1 35 V 1X) for round lots. San'.Fran- j cisco shows $1 3531 55. The figure1 I j here has not changed, and nobody seems anxious to buy at any price.

Mr. Roberts doesu't intend j quitting farming, as he has nearly six ; hundred acres ot just as good land ad : joining the portion sold. There are no indications, so far as j we can see. that wheat will advance in price from present rates before Janu ary, if it does then, nor do we believe that it will get much lower in price. While we are still inclined to the belief that there will lie an advance iii price ' at the commencement of the new year. ' yet we have no hopes that prices will : approximate the figures paid here last ! season. Linn County Circuit Court last week i finished up business by pending live ' ; persons to be boarded, clothed, etc.. ! by the State at the penitentiary at i Salem.

A team belonging to a Monmouth party struck out for freedom on Wednesday. Running down First st. to Broadalbin they turned down that street, making elegant time until they reached the railroad switch, where the hack was upset, the pole broken, one wheel caved in, and the vehicle other wise damaged. The horses went as far as Cheadle's warehouse w hen one of them fell, and both were captured. A goat and sheep were in the hack un til it was upset both escaped with apparently little injury. The animals were considerably cut and braised. Damage to hack, about S10. The City Council on Tuesday night let the contract for digging a ditch from the corner of Third and Baker streets down the latter street to Bail road street, to Mr. A. B. Morris, at 2-lc per yard. Morris to have the privilege of the dirt. The ditch will be three feet on the bottom. The Council also authorized the Committee on Streets to contract with any re sponsible parties who would agree to fill up the gulch across First and Montgomery streets, receiving -'200 from tin; city and trusting to citizens interested to make up the balance. We suppose the property-holders in terested will make up the balance necessary to complete the. work. This ditch filled up will save the city the expense ot a new bridge across it, which would cost some $450. A Drunken Brawl. On Tuesday night two drunken squaws in the eas tern portion of the city made night hideous with their yells, indecent and disorderly conduct. One ot them, too drunk to walk, had to be hauled to the lockup. We have time and again called the attention of Government agents, whose duty it is to take care of these Indians, to the fact that thcy were a pest and nuisance to our people, and asking them to see to their removal to the reservations where they belong. Will they attend to this matter? If they will not, can't steps be taken to have them removed, and agents ap pointed in their places who will attend to their duties ? Dedication. On Thursday of last week. October 22d, the splendid new hall just completed in Brownsville by Callapooya Lodge Xo. 43, I.O.O.F., was dedicated by the Grand Lodge. Invitations had been sent to the breth ren of adjacent lodges, and a goodly gathering was there to participate in the ceremonies incident to the dedica tion, and help get away with the fun and jolarity usually thrown in sight on such occasions. At about half past two o'clock in the afternoon the mem bers formed in procession and marched from the old to the new hall. The Xoble Grand. Brother J. L. Gilbert, called the Lodge to order, when the Grand Lodge inarched in, and the grand and impressive ceremony of dedicating the new hall to the purposes for which it was built was conducted by Deputy Grand Master, D. M. Thompson, of this city, assisted by members from the different Lodges in attendance. Alter the conclusion of the ceremony, Rev. J. Hoberg, one of the charter members ot Callapooya Lodge, was introduced, who delivered one of the most interesting and enter taining orations ever listened to by the large audience in attendance. At five o'clock came the dinner at the hotel presided over by Mr. and Mrs. Gross, a short distance from the hall pronounced by all the partakers as simply superb. The best of order and close attention prevailed throughout. The large woolen factory, planing mill, and a number of business houses were closed during the afternoon, to give the employees an opportunity to attend the dedication. In the evening a grand ball was given in the new hall, when and where a special good time was had by the large and meiry crowd in attendance. The music was good, the calling excellent, and every body was in good spirits, and of course the time passed swiftly and merrily. The Albanians in attendance speak in the highest terms ot praise ot the affair as a whole, all enjoying themselves to the fullest extent. The Odd Fellows of Brownsville have covered themselves all over with glory by the liberal and handsome manner in which they pro- viued tor the entertainment and enjoy- ment of their guests on the occasion above referred to. By their zeal, en ergy and liberality they have now one of the neatest and most commodious halls in the State, and will soon have one ot the best working Mid most in teresting Lodges in the jurisdiction of the Oregon Grand Lodge. Success and prosperity to Callapooya Lodge, say we. Axotiiek Pioneer Gone. By the death of Lev. Eward Parrish of the M. F. Church, elsewhere recorded in this issue, Oregon loses one of her old est pioneers. Mr. Parrish had reached the ripe old age of eighty-three. Thus one by one are passing away the men who. possessing the nerve and energy requisite for so hazardous an undertak ing, came to the Pacific slope when all this vast region was a howling wild erness, tilled with wild beasts and the more dangerous and wily savage, and by their presence and indomitable en ergy opened up and made possible the settlement of what has since proved so rich and valuable a herritage. All honor, say we, to the brave, noble and self-sacrificing spirits that dwelt In the bosoms of the pioneers, of the Fathers of Oregon. And when in the course of nature they are called to the Better Land, let the tear of affection and kindly sympathy fall upon their graves, hallowed for all time to come by the good they have wrought Out for us and the generations to follow after we are laid away in the silent tomb. It is Xot Tri e. There seems to be an opinion prevalent with some persons that there will be a further postponement of the Library Concert. There is no ground for this idea. We speak ex-cathedm when wc say Gov. Bramlette informs us, and through us the public, that the drawing will take place on the 30th of Xovember as surely as that day will arrive in the calendar. Those who wish to partake of the bene fits of the gifts, or to add their mite to the success of the great Library, should not delay an hour to become share holders in the grandest enterprise ever offered to the public in this or any other country. Painful Agctwent. Messrs. "W. J. Warren and W. R. Blain started for Jefferson on Tuesday afternoon, taking with them a Florence sewing machine to deliver to the party who had purchased it. As they were pass ing under a railroad bridge three or four miles from this city, a train of cars came along, affording the team an excellent opportunity to scare, an opportunity which they did not lose, but proceeded to utilize by getting up and getting in good style. Mr. Blain jumped out of the buggy, reaching terra firma all right. Xot so Mr. Warren. He held on to the ribbons until a sudden lurch threw him out of the buggy on the cold, cold illAee, which he struck with great "vehe mence,"' his shoulders and back strik ing first. The fall was a severe one, his whole system receiving a severe shock, which lie will feel for some days. The team ran on a short dis tance until they upset the buggy, when they stopped for a rest. The sewing machine was broken to pieces, but otherwise no great damage was PROG RAMME Of the Albany Sab bath School Union, to be held in the College Chapel next Monday evening, Xovember 2d, at 7 A o'clock P.
