reminiscences and pleasing memories, with

At 10 o'clock a.. St. a procession was
formed on Main street, by t!e Marshal pt
the day J. O. SnodgrasS, assisted by his
aids, Messrs. O. P. Tompkins and Carson
Holt, headed by iho Harrisburg Coronet
Band, which wended its way to a leafy ,
romantic grove, lying adjacent to the beau
tiful Willamette. . - -
Dr. J. F. Ilcndrix, President of tlie day,
culled the audience to order. After prayer
by the Chaplain, the choir sang that fraud
national air, "America." .Then followed
the reading of the Declaration of Independ
ence, by O. S.Porter. Mr. George Grimes
recited a poem, written tor the occasion,
tvheu the Orator of the day. Rev. I. D.
Driver, was introduced, who succeeded in
holding Hie assembly wrapt in intense in
terest to the close of his able and eloquent
address. The crowd tlien dispersed, after
listening to that song of songs, 'llail Co
lumbia," rendered by the Bund, and sought
an immediate gastronomies! attack upon
tlie overflowing and bounteous contents of
on unexceptionable basket dinner. .
The day was replete with interest to all,
not a single incident arrUing to mar. the
general enjoyment. After due recreation,
the people di.percett to their several homes
fuiiy satisfied that such a Fourth comes but
once in a hundred years. A grand ball in
tlie evening, at which there were seventy
five couple, closed the festivities of the day,
thereby surrendering to history our glori

reniemticred by the sons and daughters of

A huge time was had at Seio from all
accounts, the attendance being the largest
ever. witnessed in that place, the crowd be
ing Variously estimated at. from two to lour
thousand.". Everything went off pleaantiy
and to the general satisfaction of all, U'e
expectitl to get a full report of the '-blow

AT ALBANY.
A large number of our people having
"tieciared intentions" to go to Portland.
Sclo. and other pofnts to psiss the Fourth,
it was deemed next to impossifde to get up
any eenorul celebration here, therefore no
attempt was made, further than collecting
sufficient funds with which to purchase
powder for the usual morning salute. A
few citizens, unable to leave tle city on ac
count of sickness in their families, aud
other causes, concluded to lm-e a little pio
nie in Ifackieman's grove, jffst In the east
ern edge of the city, thus having a pleasant
time and showing a proper spirit iu giving
some observance to the day. Unexpected
ly quite a large crowd gathered at the des
ignated spot, and although tliere was no
speech-making or marching, those assem
bled tliere seemed to enjoy themselves just
as well as though the most extravagant ex
ertions had been made and much coin spent
in attempting a grand lay out . There was
base ball, "two-old cat,' croquet, etc., in
abundance, and in these ami other innocent
pastimes, the old covies as well as those
younger In years, spent a pleasant, agree
able day. Had there been mi effort made,
with unity of action. It would have been ait
easy thing to have secured a vast crowd,
rivalling that of Portland. As it was a
large numlier of tbe citizens of Linn were
not afforded, and joined in no general cele
brat ion. However, those who went to the
picnic generally enjoyed themselves better
than they o tiler wise might had the crowd
have been greater. The weather was on
its best behavior, aud everything conspired
to make a most agreeable day. ; '

Our report of Centennial Week Would

We can do no better than to give the
description of the contest taken from the
Oregtmian as follows :
Columbian No. 3 was first set in posi
tion ami after a few minutes delay ingget
ting everything in readiness, aud allowing
the engineer to raise tlie steam to tlie re
quired pressure, tlie sharp signal whistle
was rounded, the throttle, was opened, and
tlie "whir" of the machine rose above the
noise of the crowd and the excited shoots
of the firemen. After playing the time
allotted, tlie steamer wast aken up, the dis
