OFflCIAL CITY PAPER. ALBANY, OREGON, MAY 11, 1877. 18271877. -u iKRiFW. In Washington county, In J'AIiM y 8, 127. by Rev. Mr. Lusk, Mr. Jno. Marks to MM Nancy Hamilton. Quite a large company of friends assem bled on the 8th Inst., at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Marks to celebrate their GOIJOKN- WEDDISG. In addition to the many friends and neighbors who were present on this auspic ious occasion, children and grandchildren, to the nuniher ot thirty, returned to the pa ternal mansion to congratulate the happy couple on the completion of their halt cen tury of married life. A sumptuous board was spread, beautifully ortiameuted with fruits and flowers, and well supplied with every luxury, to which ample justice was done by all present. After dinuer the ven erable couple for a second time, dressed in their "wedding best," were the observed of 11 observers. A selection was read from the scriptures by Rev. S. G. Irvine, and a historical statement made of the lives ot Mr. and Mrs. Marks, after which Bro. Worth, of llalsey, offered prayer. Then followed kisses and congratulations innumerable, and amid the falling of tears of joy irom behind liappy spectacles, the aged bride de clared slie was happier by far than she had been fifty years before. Amid other con gratulations the following sentiment was offered by Dr. D. VV. Ballard, of Lebanon: To the winsome bride and gallant bride groom ou this auspicious occasion. I would tender my heartfelt congratulations. XV hile all are making our impress on the sands of time, deep or shallow as the case may be, yet our friends whose golden nuptials we celebrate this day, have left their "marks" among us to perpetuate their goodness, their domeslio felicity, their beautiful and harmonious married life, in the persons of their stalwart sons and fair daughters now present; and while asking heaveu's choicest favors on bride and groom, 1 will give as a sentiment : The sons anu uaugnters oi the newly wedded pair May each live to celebrate their golden wedding, and be as honored and as loved as their respected Father and Mother aie on this their fittieth wedding anniverslty." Mr. Mark3 w as bom hi Lancaster Co., Pa., Feb. 16, 1799. So that he is now in his seventy-ninth year. Mrs. Marks was borti in Brooke Co., Va., Oct. 4, 1304. After their marriage they resided some nine years in Washington Co., Ind., and in 1333. re moved to Sulivan Co. in the same Suite, where Mr. Marks served a term as Couuty Commissioner, and was, in the days of "mustering," for some years captain of a military company. They emigrated to Oregon in 1852, and settled on the farm thev now occupy, some three miles west of Lebanon, They have lived to see children and grand-children growing up around them, and with the vigorous health they enj.iy in this green old age, the hope is not unreasonable that the fervent prayers of all who were present may be answered in their beine spared to bless their children and the world with their example of cheerful chris tian piety, and that when their -evening i time" may come "it shall be light." Com. MACADAMIZED HOAD WAXTED. Lebanon. May Oth. 1S77. ED. Register -.Dear Sir : The farmers are about finishing up their labors of tlie season, and a large amount of grain has been sown, and never was there a better prospect for good cr0ps with good prices, and there is no good reason why both the farm and tradesmen should be thankful for the prospects in the future. ; But now, sir, there is another matter that is of vital importance to the farmers, mer chants, mechanic and tradesmen of both this vicinity and those of your own pros perous and thriving city, and that is a macadamized or graded and graveled road along tlie bank of the Saiitiam Canal from this place to Albany. No question of more vital Interest has been presented to the citi? zens of Liiro county in tlie past .five years than this, and no enterprise, calling for the Investment of so small an amount of cap ital would be so great an advantage to alj parties concerned; all would be benefitted and none injured. Let us have the ques tion aritated and worked up. Yours, Re spectfully, a A Citizen ST4.MiEi On Saturday afternoon the Tmlisns ramned dear the' ceiuetry came Into and paraded through the city on horse back, and the "braves"-being highly deco rated in feathers and paint made a pretty vood aiMJearanee. They announced that they would give a show out at ransp on Saturday night. From all accounts they had a hieb old time. On Sunday one of the Siwashes ordered a squaw, whom he claimed to be his wife, to accompany him borne, and upon her refusal lie proceeded to pat tier through a course of discipline by tabbing and cutting her with a knife In several places about the shoulders and breast. So far as -ve could learn none of toe wounds were dangerous. These In dians need the attention of the proper offi cers, by whom they should be removed to the reservations. They are of no earthly use here, and are constantly liable to make trouble, , A dollar and a half or six bits for wlieat seems just the thing, and causes a gentle smile to light up the countenances of those who have wheat to sell or a good prospect; but two dollars and a quarter per sack tor flour, and the prospect of still higher quo tations, visibly lengthens the faces of those who are compelled to buy ! There seems to be no sweet without its corresponding amount of bitter : no tor without its sor row ; no flour without cash J Election. An election for Chief and Assistant of the Fire Department was held in this burg on Monday. Both fire com panies held meetings on the Saturday night previous, and made nominations. For Chief, Joe Webber wa3 nominated by both Companies. For Assistant, No. I'm nom inated Mc. Monteith (member of No. 2's), while No. 2's nominated R. A Stratford, a member of the Company. There was not the usual amount of interest felt in the election, and a lull vote of the Department was not obtained. Out ot a possible vote of nearly one hundred and forty, there was but ninety-three votes polled, of which Monteith got 51 while Strattord got 42. And so ended the election. Delegates. At the regular monthly meeting of Linn Engine Co., No. 2, Mon day, '.Messrs. Eugene Buchanan, XV. P. Scott and XV. II. Huston were elected Del egates in the A. F. D. for the ensuing year.

In making a trip to Salem on the second day of the week, in company with a friend, we found, as we passed ou hi our bugs", that the crops looked beautiful and all na ture seeinod wearing a smile, t On arriving at tho capital we met with Cape.

The prUofi seems to be kept so as to secure the health of Its inmates, as there were but two patients in the hospital. Prisoners are furnished with the best of wholesome food; fresh meat three times a day, with meal In tlieir cells. In the chapel we found a large library, con sisting of such books as would seem to ben" efit the prisoners by their perusal. There appears to be- but little work to be done, so that pilsouers run loose in the enclosure during the forenoon,-and are locked np in the afteriioou in their cells. ; There Is some thing doing in the large tannery there is some $5,000 worth of leather on hand but the shoe ehop is closed for the want ol funds.
