Mr. Vick, in his Floral Guide, says that ten drops of carbolic acid, to be obtained from any ot ourdruggists, put in a pint of water, and poured on the eartli in flower-pot's, will destroy all earth worms, which do so much damage to the plants. A trial will satisfy all of its bene ficial effects. - Resigned. Mr. Joe 'Webber tendered his resignation as Foreman of Xo l's, last Monday evening, as he has been elected Chief Engineer of the Albany Fire Depart ment, and couldn't well hold the two offices. Joe's place will be hard to fill, as few bet ter Foremen are built these days. For the Centennial. Mr. Mike Fuller, wife and daughter, and Mr. W.

Parsons has been absent from this city several years, anil lie returned only to hml that a near and 'dear friend, one of Albany's fairest flowers, had been plucked by the untimely hand of death. It was a terrible blow, and lie has the sympathy of many warm friends and sympathisers in his great grief. Another Chcrch. Rev. Z. Cook, of Coquille, Universalist, is in the city, en" deavoring to secure funds for the erection of a church building to accommodate mem bers of the Universalist faith, and, it is said, with fair prospects of success. Albany is bound to be the city of churches, it seems. Mr. Cook preaches at the Opera House next Sunday, morning and evening. Gocn Deed. Recently a family of emi grants arrived in fliis city, sick and penni less. On Saturday, probably, one of the family died from . the ravages of scarlet fever. Ilearins of the condition of the family,. Messrs. A. N.. Arnold, and W. R. Cannon each tendered a hack, without ruonev and without price. Such acts of kindness to the poor aid unfortunate have their reward. Moonlight and Music. Thursday evening. May 11th, is the time set for the moonlight excursion on the steamer AHce, Capt. Miles Bell. The Mechanics' Band of this city will be engaged to furnish the muie, and as tickets for the round trip will be but 50c, should the evening prove f;ivorabh the boat will be crowded.

With favorable weather they now expect to be able to go to work in a couple ot weeks. when "returns" from Greenhorn may be expected right along. Mr. G. F. Settle- meir does not expect to return to this city for two or three weeks yet. Success to the hoys. At Corvallis Last Thursday night, the cantata of Esther was enacted to a crowded house.- A large number ot onr citizens went up on the steamer Alice, which left this city on the evening in ques tion shortly after six o'clock, and all unite in praising the manner In which those tak- ng parts in the piece "filled the bill. J he house was overcrowded, and many were turned away, ns there was not even standing room. The M. E. Church must have netted a pretty sum Irom the enter tainment.- .;..- :rv;-- Dro-wned. Absalom Smith and D. n. Morton were drowned in the river, about eight miles below Jefferson, on the even ing of the 22d. They; were in company with James Elliott, and were going down the river In a small boar,:when the boat upset In swift water, throwing all three of the men out Elliott swam about, halt a mile, unable to reach shore, wheti lie suc ceeded in catching in it drift, and was rescued therefrom about four honrs after ward, almost perlshcdt Neither of the other two could swim, and probably perished at 1 once. Canal. As tho Albany & Santiam Canal and Water Ditch, sold at public auction Saturday week, barely brought suf ficient money to pay its indebtedness, the stockholders lose every cent they invested In it. As this matter of losing or "sinking" money doesn't set well with some of them, nult is to be commenced, we are informed, to set aside the sale. In tlie mean time there is some talk of forming a new com pany, to consist of, first, as many of the original stockholders as may choose to take stock, and then whoever else may choose to invest, to whom Mr.' John Crawford proposes to convey the Canal for the sum of $34,000 Just wliat it cost him or at that rate for any interest t he new Company may wish. . ... . .: ( Sabbatb School Plenie.

At her residence In this city, April 22d, 187G, Mrs. Mary Ianthe narper. daughter of the late Hon. Delazon Smith, and wife of Capt. P. C. Harper, aged 2G years, 6 months and 23 days, of consump tion. Deceased was born in Keosauqua, Van Bnrcn county, Iowa, September 29th, 1819. In 1832 Hon. Delazon Smith and family removed from Iowa to Oregon, settling in Linn county, where Mrs. Har per remained a continuous resident to the day of her death. On the 12th of Novem ber, 1800, Hon. Delazon Smith went to his last reward, having died suddenly while on a visit to Portland. On the 15th of April, 1870. Eliza Viola Smith, a younger sister of Mrs. Harper, died in this city, at her residence, of consumption. Mrs. Mary Smith, mother of Mrs. Harper, died in 1S72, of consumption, at the residence of Mrs. Harper in this city. About three years ago the only child of Mri and Mrs. Harper, aged nine months, was carried to the tomb." The third. sister of Mrs. liar" per, Miss Helleu Elizabeth Smith, died at tlie residence of Mrs. Harper on the 12th of April, 187G, of consumption. The mother and three daughters, within the short space of six years, have all been called from time to eternity, by that fell disease, consump tion. Few persons were better known or more universally loved and respected than Mrs. Harper, and the entire community unite iu tendering the deepest sympathy to the bereaved and grief-stricken husband, and the sole surviving members of the family. Delazon and Delavan Smith. Complete Surpise. Wednesday was the 57th anniversary of OdcTFellowship in America, as well as the regular meeting night of Albany Lodge No. 4. Well, about .8 o'clock on that evening, under the head of "srood ot the order," about fifty ladies wives and daughters of three-linkors, came to the outer door and demanded admission, and in about five minutes thereafter tho lodge room was in their possession. A more complete surprise, we think, was never perpetrated upon a lot ot innocent, immfensive men. The Daughters of Re becca came laden with good things to eat. and amid the popping of soda corks and the cramming of cake and chicken fixins, and the merry and joyous laughter welling up from happy hearts, a very pleasant even ing was spent, A resolution expressive of the feelings of the lodge toward their surprises was passed unnaimously. It was a iolarioua occasion, in which "chas ing the squirrel" played a prominent part. Give ns more surprises they are just way up. Officers Elect, The annual meeting of the Linn County Suffragists was held at the house of Mrs. Lucian Putman, iu this city, April 15th, 1S7G, when the fol lowing officers were chosen for the coming year: President, David D.

' ' Fact Stronger than Fiction. About fourteen years ago a young man arrived in Oregon from tlie East, having but little more than enough kale seed to get here with. But push and energy accomplishes wonders: After fonrteen years ot success, not unaccompanied with toil, that young man (not so young as he was) has the proud consciousness of knowing that honest in dustry lias its reward, and he will, in all probability remain in Oregon until death closes his brilliant career, as m now sees no .hone of getting out of the country, even did he desire it, owing to the shortness of the "money crop." This is extremely painful, but true.. . - ; h Married April 19th,at the home of the riHfl's lather. J. F, Hurlburt, by Rev. T. .T. Wilson.
