Home Matters, TUK CENTENNIAL PROMENADE AND SO CIABLE Given by the College Improve ment Society, on Friday evening; of last week, at tlie Opera House, was a way tip affair, very largely attended. Mr. J. B. Wyatt personated George Washington and he did it well while Miss Sarah Alt liouse, as I ..illy Martha Washington, did most admirably. Prof. R. K. Warren quite filled the bill as Gen. Warren, while Mrs. S. A. Johns looked and acted Lady Warren to perfection. W.S.Peters and lady got away with Commodore Perry and Lady In good sliape indeed Mr. Peteis, by some at least, was considered the best dressed gentleman In the party. It was always tints these old sea boys most at--ways get away with the honors. Mr. Geo. Furrey represented Gen. Green to a ty-t, while Herman Sox, diaries Templeton, Chub. Stewart. G. II. Gaston, Robt. Fos ter, C. K. Wolverton aud Charles St ration, each represented some revolutionary char acter, as did the Misses Cora and Libble Irvine, Sue Deckard,' Libbie Halbrook, Mary Hannou, Lanra Tate and Minnie Monteith, dressed in ye olden style. The Misses Anna Powell, Mat tic Foster, Ilcttie Miller ami Nannie Osburu made most charming little Maids of Honor. Our ele gant friend Brown and his estimable wile, were in the procession. We were puzzled to know who Mart, intended to represent, but upon inquiry it was suggested by some malicious fellow that he resembled Bene dict Arnold in general make-up. Of course such a suggestion was scandalous in the extreme, and looked like a put up job on Mart. We are cncllncd to think Mart, in tended to represent an "Inflationist on his last legs" rather indifferent less at that. The "revolutionary" characters formed themselves into a glee club, and sang America, Au!d Lang Syne and Yankee Doodle to tlie delight of the vast assem blage. The supper, of course, was the very best our "women folk' never get up anv half way suppers while the various articles offered lor sale in the way of nee dle-work, etc., seemed to be just the things wanted by tlie way they were gobbled up. It was a most successful affair throughout, the gross receipts atnouning to near three hundred dollars. iv Fikk DEiAirrMET.-The election for Chief and Assistant Engineer of the Albany Fire Ieparttnent, came off on Monday. At the regular monthly meeting 011 Monday evening of last week, Linn Engine Uo, No. 2, placed in nomination Joe Webber for Chief, and Geo. F. Simpson for Assist ant Engineer. On Thursday evening fol lowing, Albany Engine Co. No. 1, Iteld a meeting, at which Joe Webber was nomi nated for Chief, and F. S. Dunning for As sistant Engineer Simpson and Oiiuning both being members of So. 2, while Web ber was a member of Xo. 1. On Friday or Saturday last it was developed that all tlie candidates were not in the field, and the name of Mac. Monteith, member of 2's, was flung to tlte breeze as an imJepeiuknt candidate ior Assistant. Of course this created the liveliest excitement among tlie boys, resulting eventually In the wltlidraw- al of Mr Dunning, leaving but two candi dates. Tlie vote shows just what the boj-s think of the whole mutter: fur Chief Engineer Joe. Webber, 124; A. X. Arnold. I. For Assistant Engineer G. F. Simpson, 80; Mac. Monteith, 45. Joe. Webber received every rote of tlte Department, save his own, cast for Chlet Engineer a thing: that probably never liappeiicd In any other fire department, and may never occur again. It was a com pliment to Joe as a fireman lie sliould care fully cherish, and by his acts in the future show be appreciates. Mr. Geo. F. Simp eon, the Assistant elect, is a splendid fel low, and will, we believe, fill the office to tlie satisfaction of all, lie's a brick in his own right, and wilt always be found at Ids post. LONG a Sufferer. Wednesday morn- fug about two o'clock. Miss Lizzie Smith, daughter of the late Hon. Delazon Suiitli,. died at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. P.C. Harper, of consumption. Deceas ed bad been suffering tor weeks, gradually getting weaker and weaker, until Tuesday eveiiiue, when she tokl those around lier that aba would live but a short time longer, cave directions for her' burial, and asked to see her two brothers and only sister, Mrs. Anne Harper, Mrs. Harper, who also has been HI for many months, and is too weak to sit up, was gently tarried to the bedside of her death-stricken sister. to fold Iter In a loving embrace and give her a sister's kiss for tlie last time ou earth. It was a most effecting scene, never to be effaced from the memories of those present. Lizzie was a sweet, loving, tender-hearted woman, .full of all tlie Christian graces. With bate toward none, but charity to ward 'all, and a strong and enduring faith in Christ as her savior, she has gone to her exceeding great reward. '. And while the tears of her many friends, who knew her but to love her for her many noble traits of character, fkli on the new-made grave. their grief Is not as! those without hope The relations of deceased liave tlie fullest sympathy of tlie entire community. De ceased was born in March 27th, 1853, and was therefore twenty-two years seven months and fifteen days od at tlie time of her death, - Handsome Vehicles. As handsome Vehicles, in tlie way of side and end spring hacks, as one would wish to see, can be had at the shop ot Sam Miller, on corner of Ferry and Second streets. Sam uses none but the best of iron and steel and select Eastern timber iu their manufacture, and the painting is equal to the very best. It 13 just as well to have a hadsome vehicle lo ride In when going to church or any where else, as to have a rough, dirty looking, lialf-inade, rickety concern, espe cially when a neat, trim, handsome turn out can be obtained for the same money. You know how it Is yourself. Ilow often have the girls, and even the "old woman," objected to going to church at all, or else preferred to walk, rather tlian ride In an old dingy rig, specially wlien they knew Ihe "old man" was perfectly able to pur eliase as respectable a carriage or liack as his neighbors. A good deal is due to tlie children, and if you want them to love and clierish tlie home circle, these matters .tliat appear trivial to the "old folks, as a general thing, sliould receive more atten tion from the "head of the family." Look at "dese liddle dings" once, and call and examine Sam Miller's elegant carriages. Don't forget it, neither. - Fine Beef. Mr. G. W.Cross, of Blod gett valley. Benton county, about twenty eight miles from this city, brought into tlie city 011 Tuesday, eight head of the finest four-year old. beef crtiiirsj-tmt- lave graced this market for many a day. Tiiey were stall-fed. and are fat and juicy. They would average over seven hundred each. Mr. Cross turns out some splendid beef cattle. Ot course our irrepressible butcher, Jim Harris, bought tlie eight licad as soon as his eagle eye lit on 'em. Jim knows wliat pleases his customers, you bet. Montgomery Queen's Best .-Mr. Mont gomery Queen, tlie great showman, opened at San Francisco 011 tlie 3d of tlie present month, probably the largest show ever put on wlieels. It is both a circus and manag erie, and is gorgeous beyond description. We havn't room this week to' give our j readers even a faint idea ot this magnifl- 1 cent combination, but will probably do so next week. Queen proposes to visit our people during tins season, when they will be delighted witli this extravagantly got ten up affair. Front Xuddy and Lake Creeks. C. Hip" writes ns: The farmers on Muddy and Lake Creeks are wide awake to business, setting things a fire generally. plowing and sowing. Tliere has been a large amount of sod broken iu this neigh liorhood this winter; also considerable grubbing done. Tlie farmers are sowing considerable flax. There has also been some considerable ditching done. I think if there was more ditching done, tliere would be better farms, better roads, and better health. Expuess Company. See ad. of the Ari zona & New Mexico Express Co. in this ;stic. Passengers s.nd freight taken from the terminus ot the Southern Pacific Rail road through to Prescott, Tucson, and all ntermediate T points, ' reaching the newly discovered mining districts of Arizona by the shortesf, cheapest and best route. Rend tlie ad., and if you have any notion of traveling in that direction, secure pits- sage bv this line. Schooner Wrecked. The schooner Caroline Medea u was lost 011 the bar at Yaqulua Bay 011 Wednesday, April 5th. She was loaded with cedar lumber, aud bound for San Francisco. The vessel be came becalmed on the bar, and, drilling among tlie breakers, was broken to pieces. The Captain and crew, after spending tlie night 011 the ocean iu an open boat, reach ed tlie shore chilled to the bones. Sudden Death. A colored man, named Peter Kelly, shoemaker by trade, who had been in tlie employ of Jake Flelscluier, died suddenly on Saturday morning of heart disease, aged thirty-two. Tlie rights of Catholic burial were given htm, and a number of both his colored and white friends accompanied his body to Its last resting place. Xo- Two's Bell. Dr. Gray received, on Monday, tlte bill for the new bell order ed forLlnn Engine Co., Xo. 2. Tlie bell weighs 703 pounds, and cost, together with the hanging apparatus $273. It was manu factured at the celebrated bell foundry of Meueley & Sons, -.Troy, X. Y.. Its a way up bell, a handsome companion to our magiiiticent steamer. - Splendid Aximals. If you want to see two of the finest Percherous In the govern ment, call at Ans. Marshall's stables at any time from Tuesday noon until Thursday noon of each week. "White Prince" and the "Pride of Perdie," owned by Mr. W. C. Myer, are not excelled iu. points ot ex cellence as stock horses. See advertise ment elsewhere hi the Register. Sam Laughery turns np at Seio, and says lie ain't the man who suicided In this city a few weeks ago ; O. H. Mitchell, engaged in tlie wood business on the Willamette, says he ain't the man ; John Frost declines the honor, and so we go. At this rate we shall not be able to get anybody to own np, as those who ought to commit suicide, are tlie very ones who are holding on with tlie most tenacity. A gushing and enthusiastic writer says tlie Polish ladies nave a certain "haunting lovllness" about them. The only time a man really appreciates what haunting levliness" means U when be sneaks in by tlie bac way at 1 a. u arid finds his wife waiting for him with a rolling pin at the head of the kitchen stairway. Meets To-Mokrow. The Linn County Woman's Suffrage ' Association meets at the residence of Mr. Putman. to-morrow at 3 o'clock p. m., tlie principal business of tlie meeting being to elect officers for the coming year. There was ho meeting lield last week as advertised, owing to the stormy condition of the weatiier. FROM HALSET. Halset, April 9, 1876. Frank Lupcr, a young man living three or four miles west of Halsey, killed a large eagle a few days since, measuring nearly ten feet from tip to tip of the wings. This mammoth eagle, the king of birds, had just caught a lamb, and sinking his huge talons into It, had flew up Into a large oak to dine, when Frank took down his Winchester rifle, and, going to within one hundred and fifty yards, fired at his king ship, , The ball hit and wounded the bird, compelling him to drop his prey, which he did, flying to another tree one hundred yards fUrtlier off. Frank did not follow, but' raised his rifle to his slioulder and blazed away the second time. Tlie second shot proved successful, killing the eagle. This we consider rather an excellent shot, the distance being two hundred and fifty yards. . - ' : CniP. IN MF.MOKIAM. WorQig Chief Templar, officer and wetn ber,of Brownsville Lodge, Xoi "250,1.0.0.

The Willamette Temperance Alliance of this county, adopted, at Its last meeting, by a unanimous vote, after considerable discussion, the following resolution : Itolrixl, That it would be inexpedient for the temperance people of the State in tlie canvass of this year to nominate and support for office a distinctively temper ance ticket. Tlie following paper was also adopted : "Wine is a, mocker ; strong drink is raging, ami whosoever is deceived thereby Is not wise." - Intemperance Is a crime against manhood and against society. It is a violation ot both natural and moral law. It enervates man's physical, mental and moral powers and unfits him for tlie proper discharge of the unties oi nie, therefore. JiesfHre4. lltat tlie mteuHjerate- are un worthy the suffrages of an enlightened and moral tieopie, and tnat we win not, at tlie polls, in the coming June election, support for ofliee any mau known to be of this character. It Is the desire of temperance men here, a clawhere, to co-operate with the exist ing political organizations if it can be done consistent with sound temperance principles; otherwise they reserve the right to use tlie scratch. M. Acheson, Sec'y. Warehouse Sold. Mr. John Beard sold, on Monday last, to the Albany Far mers' Co., his fine warehouse at Tangent. Tlie warehouse was one of tlie best in tlie county, with a capacity of 73,000 bushels Tlie elevating and cleaning apparatus were run by an eirlit-borie power engine.

At its third meeting, at Willamette church. about three miles east of CorvalMs, March 29th, sixty persons signed 'the pledge. While tlie Alliance did not deem It advisa ble to nominate a temperance ticket at this time, it was resolved to support none but temperance men for office; : therefore tlie party that wishes to secure the temperance vote, must place temperance men In nom ination . i l ' ' ' The Salem Mercury says; ,We are in formed by MrE.
