Preparations for the Fourth. Sen
ator Morton and the member of (be com
mittee are specially invited and doubtless
will be with us on the 4th. Capt. Mount
ain's battery of artillery is expected front ;
Portland, as well as oue or more of the mili
tary companies. Excursion train over
the O. & C Railroad from Portland and
Roseburg, arriving here in the morning
and returning in the evening, at half-fare
liave been secured, and the Indications are
that we wilt have a gathering of people on
the 4th such as was never witnessed In our
city before. After the parade, oration,
music and picnic of the day, a fine display
of fireworks will fill in the early part of
the evening. We are promised an exceed
ing fine display on this occasion, some new
features being introduced. Let all our
people make an effort to do their best to
entertain all who come, and Albany's rep
utation for hospitality as well as energy
will receive new laurels. 'Rah tor the
fourth! "
The Distance From Lebanon to Cor
vallis, on an air line, as recently surveyed,
is 17 miles. We learned from Mr. Was
som, on Tuesday, that -4ba right of way
would soon be secured, and the work of
grading will doubtless then, begin on the
extension of the Yaquina Bay Railroad.
The cost of grading, bridging and tleing
the road will be made known on to-day at
the railroad picnic to be held at Lebanon
The Y. B. Railroad Company filed, a few
days since, supplementary articles ot incor
poration extending the road from Corval
lis to Lebanon. No public matter lias ev
er been presented to the people of Lebanon
which has met so universal approval, and
so largely enlisted the best energies of" all
classes as the projected railway to Corval-
lis. The rteoDle of Lebanon are bound to
see It through. Hurrah for the Lebanon,
Corvallis & Yaquina Bay Railroad.
Fine Prospects. We met Mr. Chas.
Logsdnle, of Blodgett's Valley, Benton
county, on Tuesday, wlio informed us that
the grain prospect never was so good be
fore in that section of county. He says the
crops look far better than in the Willam
ette. The wool clip is also extra good,
his band turning out twelve pounds to the
head, yielding, at present quotations, f3 30
per fleece, which speaks well for sheep
husbandry! Mr. L. has 100 head of Angora
goats which sheared three pounds each.
This at last year's prices, would give $2 55
tor each goat's fleece. Tills is certainly
the farmer's year, as everything they have
to sell brings good prices and we are glad
ot;it.
Fine Team. Mr. E. F. Wyatt has about
the prettiest match team of young horses
in the county. And they can travel, too;
QuarTer,y3ieetix3 For Shdd circuit,

Fire at IIarrisburg On Thursday
moriiins of last week the drvhouse of

made such headway when discovered that
all efforts to subdue it were unavailing.
About 16,000 feet of lumber in the kiln.
valued at $500, was a total loss. The build
ing was valued at from $100 to (150. Says
the Nucleus, from which we glean the
above : "At first the fire was supposed to
hare caught from a delect in the flue, bot
Mr. Douglas informed us that he visited
the house at 10 o'clock in the evening' and
found the fire out in the furnace. We are
also informed that the fire, when first seen,
was In the northeast corner of the-building
clear away from the furnace. The fasten
ing was also away from the door, which
was all right when left in the evening.
The flue this morning is found to be with
out defect, so there is little doubt but that
it is the work ot an incendiary."

Misspent : Evenings The boy who
spends an hour each evening lounging idly
on the street-corners, wastes in the course
of a year three hundred and sixty-five pre
cious hours, which, if applied to study,
would familiarize him with the rudiments
of almost any of the familiar sciences. If,
In addition to wasting an hour each even
ing, he spends ten cents for a cigar, which
is usually the case, the amount thus worse
than wasted would pay for ten of the lead
ing periodicals of the country. Boys, think
of these things. Think of how much time
and money yon are wasting, and for what?
The gratification afforded by the lonnge on
the corner or a cigar is not only temporary,
but positively hurtful. You cannot indulge
in them without- seriously injuring your
selves. Yoa acquire idle and Wasteful hab
its which will cling to you. with each suc
ceeding year. You may fn after life shake
them off, but tho probabilities are that the
habits thus formed will remain with yon
to your dying day. Be warned, then,- Hi
time, and resolve tliat as the hour spent in
idleness has srone forever, yon will improve
each passing one, ami thereby fit yourself
for usefulness ana nappiness.
