Xf.w Steamer. The new steam fire
engine for Linn Engine Company, So. 2,
will arrive .to-day. A competent enfcineerl
has been secured, find the steamer will
soon be on wheels ready for action. As
soon as she can be got ready, the Company
will promenade through our principal
streets, giving an exhibition of what she
can do in the way of throwing water, pro
bably from one of the cisterns on First
street. For the present; we believe, it is
the intention to hou-e the engine on the
corner of Ellsworth and Second streets.
ITowever, the location may fee changed to
some-other point. " Iff the mean time,
look out for the engine. The whole Fire
Department is expected to take part in the
parade. . '
Burned. The Willamette Woolen Mills
were destroyed by lire on the morning of
the 3d. The fire originated in the attic
where considorable wool was stored, and
is supposed to be the work ot spontaneous
combustion. Loss estimated at $125,000 ;
insured for $00,000, $7,500 of which was on
stock. An average of S3 men were em
ployed, at a total monthly outlay of about
$33,500. John Kelly, foreman of the weav
ing room, in endeavoring to save the mill,
attached the hose and started the wheel,
when he was caught in the machinery and
before he could exlricate himself, his cloth
ing was torn ofFof him and he was severely
bruised and torn. W. C. Griswold, chief
owner of the mills, is in San Francisco,
purchasing stock. This is a severe blow
to Salem.
Oratorio op Esther. This beautiful
oratorio will be rendered . in this city, at
Pacific Opera House, on Friday and Satur
day evenings of next week, May 12th and
13th. under the charge of Major L. White,
assisted by forty ladies and gentlemen of
Corvallis. On the evenings 01 the 20th
and 21st, we believe, this grand ortario
was rendered in a most satisfactory man
ner at Corvallis, as many of our citizens,
who were present on the first evening,
can testify. We have no doubt that the
coming entertainment will be much better
than any previous one, because the com
pany will have the advantage of a larger
and much better hall than tlie one used at
Corvallis. The Opera Ilousewill be fitted
up lor the occasion, nixd the seat accom
modations greatly enlnrged, so that all
nay enjoy the feast of song offered, with
satisfaction and real enjoyment. No oue
should tail to atteud.
Ei:ori.Att Monthly Meeting At the
regular monthly meeting of Linn Engine
Company, No. 2, Dr. G, W. Gray, Presi-
dent, was granted three months leave of
absence, and D. M. Thompson elected
Pi-esidenti interim. Messrs. J. K. Weath
erford, L. C. Rice and D. M. Thompson
were elected members of the Board of Fire
Delegates. ' M. S. Mouteith was granted
two months leave of absence, as be intends
visting the Sound. 'The resignation of W.
II. Parker was granted. Jndge Baldwin
was elected an honorary member of the
Company. Att invitation was received
aud accepted to participate with Albany
Engine Company, No. 1, in' a May-day
picnic on the 23d. By vote ot the Company
the wish was expressed that our new
steamer si ton 'd be shipped to Albany im
mediately on its arrival at. Portland, and
be put together at the Messrs. Sox & Co's
warelioue, generously tendered by said
firm for that purpose.
Picnic. Tlie seventh annual picnic of
the Onesters comes off on tlie 23d, at
Ilacklcman's grove. Swings will be put
up, croquet and base ball grounds arranged,
and, to highten the interest, a fat man's
race will be indulged in, with suitable
rewards for the winners In the croquet and
base ball matches, and iu the fat man's
race. An oration will be delivered, and
vocal and instrumental in usic will be fur
nished. Iiv the evening a dance will be
given at tlie Opera House for those in
clined to "trip tlie light fantastic." 'Rah!
Festival MareiageI Ol course we
go to press too early to give a, description
of the Baptist festival last evening,, but
were under, the impression, from the
character ot those having the matter in
liaud, and the preparations made, that, it
Was a grand success. Alorrao Gray and
Miss Johnson," it was announced, were to
be united in marriage, and rumor has it
that another couple was on tlie anxious
seat, but were not certain they could get
ready in time. Everybody that went en
joyed the QCA-asion. Give us more of these
sociable reuuinus.
IIf.avt Loss. Mr. ' Joseph Yates, who

In Linn .countyjasjt eek -lost three valua
ble jiorsss. from what lie supposes to nave
been bots. They , were all' good animals,
and were worth between $400 and $300.
This is a pretty heavy loss r Mr. Yates,

Oar Candidates.
The Republicans of Linn county liave
presented for their votes one of the best
tickest ever put forward y a County Con
vention, and no ticket, we believe, ever
met a more hearty response from the Re
publicans ot the county. Every man upon
the ticket is a host in hiro3elf, possessing
the necessary qualifications as to ability,
honesty, - sobriety, integrity and Industry,
and being in full sympathy with the people
aid in forming a ticket that every honest,
conscientious man in the county can freely
support, no matter wlut his party pre
dilections maybe. Xearly the entire ticket
is composed of farmers, the bone and sinew
of the country, 'men of more than ordinary
talent,, whose purity of life and chaVacter
have marked the in as peculiarly fitted tor
the positions to which their neighbors and
fellow citizens have called them. With
candidates whose ability, integrity, and
general fitness for the positions are unques
tioned, it requires no prophetic ken to pre
dict their election in June. All Republi
cans have to do now is to secure as large a
majority lor the whole ticket as possible,
by faithful work until the day of election.
To this end let every honest, fair minded
voter put his ulioulder to the wheel, and
aid in shoving the car of progress and re
form along. '." : ' . ''
Letter F
m FnrmH Vlft.
Lebanon, May 2d, 1S7S.
Editor Register : As your corres
pondent from these parts failed to connect
last week, I presume he is completely ab
sorbed in the perplexing question that just
now occupies the attention of farmers
generally, viz : how shall I meet my Obli
gations, If this weather continues, and we
fail to raise any grain ? And while they
are thus exercised about the wherewith to
support their families, let us who are far
mer's wives, unite with them in preparing
for emergencies, by learning how to make
the most of whaf we may have. To thi
end I undertake to make a suggestion to
the women who read your paper, provided
of course that you , in such perilous
times as just before election, dare to pub
lish anything bordering on . "Woman s
Rights." But don't be frightened. I'm'not
going to inflict on you a homily on woman
suffrage, or anything of that kind, I only
wish to open the subject, hoping to hear
it discussed by abler pens tliaji mine. Why
do the woman of the country . so seldom
write for the paper? Is it a fact (if so it is
a most lamentable one), that they are kick
ing iu intellectual ability to comprehend
the issues of the day, or so wanting in edu
cation that they cannot give an intelligent
view of tlietn ; or are they so engrossed, hi
the daily routine of domestic concerns, as
not to realize'they have any duties or in
fluence outside their own house ? An in
terchange of opinion among farmers is of
great benefit, in giving them a proper un
derstanding of the actual needs and condi
tion of the country, and assisting each other
to Intelligently worc for the greatest good
ot the whole, and Is not tlie rule equally
applicable to tw ? If we would give each
other the benefit of experience, and new
ideas on the best manner ot conducting the
domestic economy, it , would be a great
advantage. We- could thus add to the
health and happiness of our family, by
knowing how to prepare for them the most
healthful and appetizing food for on us
more than the men rests this responsibility.
I know the duties of a housewife are multi
plied and arduous, bi.t we do many unnec
essary things and by leaving them off, we
can find time to not only read wliat
others write, but take a part ourselves by
trying to give others the benefit of our
observations in matters pertaining to the
household.
Now, Mr. Editor, for fear you will think
a woman's pen, like lier tongue, wlien once
set going never knows when to stop I
will here leave the subject to others, hoping
you will allow us a little space in your
paper to tell what we know about making
bread, preserving, pickling, etc., subjects
more practical and perhaps more useful to
farmer' wives, than whether they will be'
allowed to vote,' Mrs. Dunnlway and Co.
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Farmers Wife.
"Farmer's , Wife" is welcome to our
columns, and we extend an Invitation to
all our lady readers, married or singta, to
write for the Register, on the subjects
indicated in the above communication, as
frequently and regularly as opportunity
may offer, assured thay they will always
be welcome. E D.l
Three Linkers. The Odd Fellows of
Harrlsburgh, on the 2Gth of April, the fifty-
seventh anniversary of the order hi the
United State, securing the City of Salem
for that purpose, excurehed to Corvallis,
A'here they listened to a grand oration.
delivered by that excellent Odd Fellow and
Christian gentleman. Rev;""' Jos Emery
After spending a few hours pleasantly at
Corvallis, tlie party "returned to Harris-
burcr, without aecident or incident to mar
the pleasures of the occasion. The day
was finished out by a dance and excellent
supper. : ,....' , .
Waking Up. The citizens of Harrii
burg have voted a tax of $2,500 to build a
new school-house. It is to be sixty feet
square. Articles of incorporation have
been filed for an Alden fruit dryer, while
a joint stock company is proposed for the
purpose of securing a printing press. The
citizens ot Ilarrisbnrg seems to be waking
up to their interests, and are determined
to at least make an effort to improve their
opportunities, losh.
As nearly all the candidates on the Re
publican ticket in Linn county are farmers,
and as this Is the busiest season of the year
with them, they will probably not attempt
to make. a thorough can vats of tlie county.
However we are not authorized, to speak in
the' matter: : 5 -'M--'

The Alice in one of the most popular of
boats, arising, most probably, from the
Cict that she has the most genial and whole,
souled ' ofScers that ever commanded, f
steamboat. '
Surprised Rev. J. Bowersox, pastor
of the Evangelical Church, and family,
were agreeably surprised last Friday even
ing by their friends. The Rev. gentleman
and wife returned from singing school at
the church to their home, only to find It
in the possession of a concourse of people,
who had brought with them quantities of
"grub" of the wayupest kinds, as well as
some very acceptable presents. The sur
prise was most complete, and all the more
enjoyable on that account.
As an indication of the "money" there
is in land on this coast, we cite a recent
operation ot David Jacks, of Monterey
county, Cal., who owns a farm often thou
sand acres, which was purchased a few
years ago for$10,000. He last year plant
ed It in wheat. 1 The yield was fifteen cen
tals per acre. At one dollar per cental
this gives a crop worth $150,000, ot which
twenty-five per cent., or $37,500, Is net
profit. '
River Improvement. The ' Govern
ment snag boat, "Uncle Sam,"Capt. Geo.
Snilili, is all ready to commence operations
on the Upper Willamette as soon as the
waters subsides sufficiently Said snag
boat is now lyiAg at Portland. The snag
boat has done noble work iu tlie past, and
the- coming -. summer will doubtless be
enabled to do sttfl more, as she Is better
equipped for it. V
Moonlight Excursion. Next Thurs
day evening is tlie time set for the moon
light excursion on the steamer Allee. Capt.
Bell, over the broad bosom of the Wil
lamette. As the fare Is but 50c, every

'Dsisolved. The pattiiershlp heretofore
existing between Jas. H. Foster and John
Foster, under the firm name of J. II. Fos
ter & Co.. has been dissolved by mutual
consent, John Foster retiring from the
firm. Jas. II. Foster settles all demands
against, and collects all sums due the late
firm. See notice elsewhere.
The Democratic candidates for county
ofilces propose opening tlie campaign at
Halsey on the 23th. As their time U
valueless, '"worth nothing tD nobody,"
they might as well spend It making bom
bastic speeches as in any other way, we
suppose. -.'
Mrs. S. A. Johns teaches the Taylor sys

pronounce it the best system ever intro
duced for the purpose Intended. Call and

W. B. Carter. Esq., shed the light of his
countenance upon us Tuesday. Billy was
fully up to the times in dress, cane, etc ,
and looked as tliough grub was plentiful
at his domictl. ' J
Wat Up Time. Our fire boys took a
little excursh to Corvallis hi3t Friday night
to help the redshirts tlierc out with tlieir

.Dragging: Ont Existence.'
Tlie nervous, weakly Invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely drags out exist
ence," as tlie phrase Is. Unfitted for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable of par
taking of its pleasures, to which health
alone can give a zest, disinclined to social
Intercourse, and a prey to tnelancholly, the
valetudinarian Is indeed an object of pity.
Yet there Is nothing In all this that cannot
be remedied by that genial alterative tonic
and nervine, llostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which supplies deficient stamina, braces
the nervous system, and overcomes those
bodily irregularities to which nervous weak
ness is most frequeptly attributable. Dis
eases of the kliluey and bladder, imperfect
digestion and uterine troubles are fertl'e
scources of debility. Their erradication
however, becomes a matter ol certainty
when Uostetter'a Stomach Bitten are sys
tematically used for that purpose. The
Bitters likewise annihilate and prevent
fever and ague and other debilitating febrile

In regard to tlie European grain market,,
the Mark Lane Expren says the activity'
caused by the Easter holidays is not yet
over. Tlie transactions are limited to sup-1,
plying Immediate requirements. This and',
the absence of everything like speculation
tended to contract operations, tlie supply
keeping pace with the demand, and the
stock diminishing slowly. The continen
tal demand continues, and has taken sever
al cargoes wh'ch arrived at calling ports,
but has not showu itself to any extent.
Stocks in parts of Germany and France are
reported short; but latterly pnrcliases liavo
been made by several grain markets from .
Russian and" American ports, whepoe uiV
rect 6liipment are made. Trade is inani
mate. The fine weather1 depresses the
market and in some' Instances" holders havo'
yielded slightly, but the decline is scarcely'
perceptible. Maize Is lower under largo
supplies. The French demand occurred
very opportunely for the sellers of oats.
In tlie country markets flour Is fairly steady,,
but the London trade is dull. There has'
been no important change lit any depart-,
ment during the week Things generally,
