Exciting Time. The Chairman of the Democratic county central committee last week issued his call for a meeting of tlie unterrified at the Court House on the after noon of January 8th, to pass resolutions endorsing Tilden, etc. About the time appointed, after much drumming, fifty, eight persons were Induced to go into the court-room and organize a meeting. Of these, twenty-seven were Republicans!, called there by curiosity, seven were Chi namen, and the balance were Democrats, we suppose. We give the numbers just as reported to us. and we guess the figures are correct. They passed some resolutions ana made some speeclies, one of the 'in vincible In peace" gentlemen being deter mined to inaugurate- Tiklen or trust the matter to the arbitrament of arms! The Whole affair to the non-participators was about equal to a one-horse circus, and about as complete a fizzle as was ever seen. Not n representative Democrat ot the conntv, so wr as we can learn, took part in the little show. fliOM HAUfcY. E.

Rates from this city to Portland are now 18. 23 and 27 cents per G9 pounds tor general " merchandise, and" 15 cents per 100 pounds for grain and flour in car loads. All freight received, and delivered at Portland floe of drayage. The new hotel at the depot is entirely enclosed, and the windows and door frames were being put in the first of the week, while mechanics were engaged in siding up tlie kitchen, built on the east end of the house.

' " The Jlethoilist church was well filled on Monthly night, . tlie. first meeting of the week ol prayer. It was a grand occasion, -and many hearts were warmed and made happier for being in attendance. Tlie skating rink was secured on Mon day night, the first night of the week of prayer, and was run for tia; benefit: of the Southern Methodist Sunday School, As there wore near two hundred in attendance we suppose the receipts were quite hand some. At the skating rink Monday night a vote was taken to decide which was the best skater among the young ladies. One hun dred and eighty-four votes were cast. Miss Maggie ! took obtaining one iitmtireu votes. a majority of all the votes Cast, wa3 award ed the prize, an elegant pair of cuff-pins. As the price of admission was two bits, twenty-live cents per pair for the use of the skates, and each voter "had to pay a quarter of a dollar tor -' the privilege of such franchise, the treasury of .the Sunday School was helped considerably. Fred Graf has moved iuto his new build ing which is rather a fine structure. Chas. Smith, the man stabbed last week at the Indian ranch, is about again, all O.K. One day last week, one of Smith & Clee- land's large dray horses ran or fell against a post with such force a3 to shut off his wind io a jiffy. Judges W. G. riper and F. M.

The Albany Collegiate Institute ':' never,-' we believe, was in a mom prosperous, healthy condition. - Tlie institution Is " ia splendid hands. ; ; . " Some of our citizens are urging the ap pointment of a regular police force ott our "streets, nigbt and day. We hardly think the time has come, yet, when we can in dtilge in so much luxury. These extras cost a great deal of coin, and taxes at pres ent are about as heavy as the average property-holder cares about putting up. At least this is the way it looks to us. How ever. Our cotemporary, Mr. M. V. Brawn, is very ill of fever. At last accounts he was reported improving, and will probably be about again hi a few weeks at farthest;.

At least one large grist mill will be erect ed, we are told, hi thirdly during tlie "coming summer. A second is also talked of, and may be built, . ; As to the poison placed in the Court House pump last week: The poison had been placed iu a little paper tobacco bag, which Wits twisted together, wrapped with tin or lead foil so as to make it siuk, and the whole pushed as far down the pump as possible. The pomp fs of tho variety known as the pitcher. No snow birds so far this winter. The drouth prevailing in California, making a lailure of crops there almost be yond pe radventure, has stiffened Ue price of wheat in the hands of sellers the past few days, and as. a consequence shippers were unable to 'purchase at.cmrci.t rtituS. Numbers of vessels were lying idle at the San Francisco wharves,- or were peeking cargoes elsewhere. One large ship is quoted as having been chartered for grain to 'Europe lor 2 per ton the lowest figure reached tor years. " Every present indication is that tlie busi ness of our city will receive a new impetus with the coming spring. Large numbers of new buildings wHI be erected,- new en terprises will Be opened up, and all will be life and energy. The prospect of fine crops and good prices the coming season, inspires everybody with confidence. The adjustablesprhigbeds, manufactured by In mat 1 & Crosson, and sold in this city by F. S.

Mr. MeChtre who lives on the Propst farm, about lliree and a half miles east of this city, accidents ally shot himself through the hand last Satr nrday night about 9:30. At that hour MrV McClure heard some one trying to effect an entrance into the house through back door, and he called out, asking what t he party wanted. An answer was givetir "none of your business." Mr. M. went immediately to the door, and upon open ing it descried the burglar making tracks down the road toW.ird9 this cify. Sir. Jf having a revolver in his hand commenced firing at the retreating party, sending three or four shots in bis direction; but the would lie Imrglar succeeded in reaching his horse, which was tied to the fence, and' mounting' galloped away.

Linn Engine Company has got back again into tlie hall over Mr. Grad wold's store, where tbe Company will continue to assemble, In nil probability, until tlie city procures another place. Thg.

At present it takes entirely too long to get up steam from cold wafer ten to tweuty minutes of time are often worth thousands of dollars in case of a flre, and tlie snif.ll expense necessary in pfocnr" ing a he. ting apparatus will never be felt-. We believe Linn Engine Company was never in better condition or working more Iiarmoniously.
