The Urent Storm.
The terrific storm that visited tlie Wil
lamette Valley on Friday last was the
worst ever experienced in this city. It
rocked One's hose tower until tlie great
bell in the toj rang out two peals, startling
the whole city and sending tlie II? emeu to
their engine houses on tlie double quick.
It was a close call for the tower, as it
came within an ace ot tailing, when It
would have crushed the city hall and pos
sibly J. Gradwhol's residence. The De
M'tcritt ofiice was yanked about until it
leans somewhat "toward Joneses," the
wind having struck the building on the
broadside. The top of McIIwain's brick
block was yanked down in a jiffy ; several
locust trees in front ot the Into Walter
Monteitb's building, on Second anil Cali
poot:i streets, were blown down, otie of
them falling on the kitchen ; a chimney on
the St. Charles Hoteljwas blown down; the
front ot Frank Wood's shop was blown
out, and signs were sent spinning in every
direction. Out in the jirairie fences were
jirostrated in every direction, and pines,
fiis and fruit-tree were broken off or uji
rooted and hurled to the ground by the hun
dred. A stable belonging to Bob Irving,
occupied by six horses, was blown down,
and two of the animals liadly injured.
The bay shed belonging to Ximrod Payne,
one hundred and twenty leet long with
twenty-seven foot ratter, was blown down.
One building was moved several feet from
its foundations; ten' pines, old residents,
were uprooted on the Thos. Houston place.
At Chamberlain's -place, next to Knox's
Butte, anjile trees jwent down as did the
teiicc regardless of taste or expense. At
George Knox's an almond tree was blown
across the gate while a chM-ry tree smashed
in the lien-house. Across the river wher
ever the wind could reach them fences
were leveled with the ground, and the
forest trees were sent spinning in every
direction. Between this city and Corvallis
some fifty odd trees, we are told, were
blown across the road obstructing travel.
From every direction come tales of nar
row cscajies and damages more or less
severe, but so far we hear of no loss of lile
in thy county.

Editor Register : Having a leisure
moment, and noticing that you have occas
ional corresjiondence Iron) several towns
and villages in tlie State and else
where, and thinking that a few items from
this unpretentious place might be of some
interest to the many readers of the Regis
ter, I will note a tew.
However, before we jot down the items.
I will inform you that this p'nee is located
about midway between Albany and Le
banon, on tlie stage route ; so you see we
are not very much out of Hue, and with
capital, industry and enterprise could be
made a thriving and interesting village.
Wc are needing a blacksmith shop, dty
goods and grocery store and post office.
and must say to those persons wishing a
decidedly remunerative business, you
could not do better than to engage here,
where you will Le sure to projer in more
ways than one.
Tlie terrific wind storm of the 9th inst.,
did considerable damage in this vicinity.
n the way of upsetting buildings and
tumbling down fencing, etc. Among the
buildings rather' demoralized, we might
mention the overthrow of Harmony Grange
Hall, Xo. 23, which is a complete wreck.
Our !-chool, under the comjilete and
efficient management of Mr. Samuel
Davaney, Esq., is a success. Xot with
standing the unusual stormy weather there
is a fair attendance "of students. .
The jieop'e in this vicinity will be en
gaged for several days in rebuilding, fenc
ing, etc. Xow, in conclusion, will state
that we arc all staunch Republicans in this
village ; and of course nil take the Rkgis
tkiS, and will continue to take it as long as
M-e can jviy in advance, for it is not our
style to reaii the papers at other peo-l-les'
expense." OBSERVER.
Tiiii;-nt Notes.
Our correspondent under date ot Janu
ary 5;h writes :
The holidays have come and gone and
everything is now quiet.
The Sabbath School and jieoii'e of this
vicinity bad a Christmas tree at the church.
Abich was well filled with presents, and
although there were not as many costly
ones as in former year, yet some of them
were quite valuable. The church was well
illuminated and everything passed off
jileasantly. notwithstanding the severe
cold weather.
Following is under date of the 12th:
N'o business doing either in town or
country, on account of the inclemency ot
the weather. It'lias been 'one continual
storm of .vind, rain and snow for the last
ten days. Friday (9th inst ) the wind blew
a gale, prostrating fences and outbuildings.
The parsonage in this place was blown
from its foundations and moved sev
eral fet.
The public school closed on the 2d of
this month. That most estimable young
teacher. Miss Ella Luper, has been con
ducting the school here for the last year.
She is one of our most .successful educators.
Other schools in the county have closed
tor the present, on account of the severity
of the weatlier.
