' It made smoke, enough for a young furnace,. ?lo material cjamiuge wa; done. "' lion. J. II. Mitchell at Court House Wednesday nlgbt. Let every Republican attend., HsBdaoiue Plscw. Less than a mile south of the city are several neat suburban residences, that seem to be built with special reference to the comfort of their owners and families. The grounds surrounding them are tastily arranged, and filled not only with flowers and shrubbery to attract the eye, but fruit trees mingle their fragrance with the flowering shrub and ornamental and shade trees. As you drive southward from the city yon gradually ascend until reaching a point less than a mile from the Court House, you are many feet above the city, and can actually "look down" upon Its spires, its stately buildings Its dusty streets and long miles ot wooden sidewalks. ' Among the several farms that dot the prairie, our old friend Mr. Milt. Hale owns one of the best kept and most pro ductive. His neat and comfortable dwell ing stands out boldly In the foreground, and Is environed by flowers, shade, orna mental, fruit and nut bearing trees, among tlie latter some noble white and black walnuts, among the finest and hand somest appearing trees that adorn our Eastern homes. Mr. Hale has a large and well cultivated garden south of the residence, hi.s watermelon and cantelopes being specially idee, as we know for a fact. We noticed some noble animals ot tlie horse kind, two to five year olds, all of them, to use a common expression, as tat as butter ; " and what was more peculiar about all of Mr. H.'s stock, all seemed to be pets. He told us he "breaks" his horses himself, and in training them to ride, uses neither bridle or saddle. The law ot kindness, in his experience. is better and cheaper in training domestic animals than mere brute force. Mr. Hale's is a happy household, and we here return thanks for kind hospitality extend ed to tts on a recent visit. Immediately south of Mr. Hale's resi dence and garden, is tlie pasture ; and here we noticed something that struck us as romarKame : l ne pasture is a levei piece of ground ot some acres, and scatter ed here and there over it are several huge stones ot different varieties, varying In size from a wash-tub to almost a hogshead. The query was. where did those roekscome from ? These are isolated rocks, there being no others in the vicinity that we could see In the prairie. Mr. Hale's theory was. that the Willamette valley in tlie remote ages was an arm of the j mtabty ocean ; that vast accumulations of ice, formed in the frozen North, had by some force broken loose from the land, taking with them portions of the rock and earth upon which they were formed, and, as Icebergs, they had been carried by wind and waves and currents into fhl3 arm of the ocean, and gradually breaking up and melting, had left these clinging rocks as mementoes ot their presence. However they may have gained their present resi dence, they at least give room for much speculation tor ti e curious thinker. Soul h and east of Mr. M. Hale's Is the farm-home of Mr. Andrew Hale, one ot the best tilled market-gardens in the prairie. As Mr. nale did not take charge of the place until late in the spring, the crop was not as full and multifarious as he intended, but. the yield of the several varieties of "garden truck" would astonish some of the Yanks. In the nay of water melons he has no less than three patches hundreds and hundreds in each enough to supply the who'e valley, apparently, of large, red-cored. luscious melons that make one's mouth water to look at. He is building a fine addition to his residence, and when fln'shed he will have more room than many of the hotels In Oregon. The cosy residence Is on l lie apex of the high ridge running across the prairie, and J gives a fine view of Albany and the height' beyond. The Santiam ptoal that runs but. a short distance south ot bis place, affords a splendid opportunity for irriga tion, and will enable him to raise the best of vegetables, and especially smfcll fruits. In the drvest season. The Canal Is a "big thing" indeed to those owning land along its borders. Mr. Hale is a genial, well informed gentleman, and , therefore has been and will continue to be successful in his chosen pursuit. We shall remember our visit to Ids pleasant place, a few days nince. with pleasure. We Intend to be out among the folk. and shal! take pleasure In noticing the geneural outlook as wo move along. Insane. Messrs. Ross Humphrey and Ike Banfy last Friday brought to this city Miss Rosana Williams, aged 20, from Hamilton creek, beyond Lebanon, a large and power ful young woman, who had been exhibit ing symptoms ot insanity for some time. She was adjudged insane on Saturday, and taken to East Portland. It Is stated that when turned over to the deputy sheriff, she turned him out and locked the door of the office on him, and he had to climb in at the window, secure aid and put on the bracelets to enable hi in to manage her at ail. New Styles. Mrs. Powell received new goods in the front of the week very fashionable and late, which the ladies want to see. she will receive her large Invoice of fuTl mil linery, bonnets etc., in about ten days and will hold her grand opening on Friday, October; 1st. nedlcal ne. Mnch Is being said in the papers Just now about Medical Lake in Washington Territory, which seems to be a sort of modern Bet he-da. to which the lame, the halt, and the blind " move, hoping to get relief. The waters of this lake, however, cannot begin to cure backache and.a'l diseases of the kidneys and urinary orgam as does the Oregon KWuey Tea. sold everywhere. ' CJilUlrera Monthly Service. Next Sunday at 11 A. M. will be held the chlklren's monthly service, at the Evangelical Church. A cordial Invitation to all children. Preaching at 7:30 P. M by tbe pastor. Fey. W. C. Kantnsr, . . . Hicfety Hustlers. George Humphrey is ft mighty hunter nobody will dispute this, statement. George and Judge Strabn returned from a bear and deer hunt in . tho mountains a few days since. George says they would not have returned so soon U they could have found enough level ground out there for the Judge to lay down on with any comfort. Be this as it may, George claims to have killed two deer and a bear ; but he did not kill the bear in the orthodox man ner, and as it may be of Interest to others we give his version of the way it was done and George is a reliable man. He says : The bear was about 200 yards away, when I shot and missed him ; then the bear turned and came at me, with mouth open. I stood still until the bear came up to within reaching distance, when I rammed my right hanu and arm Into his mouth and down his throat, caught hold of his tall, and, pulling back' turned the bear inside out and then killed him. He says Bill Brown Is out there and Bill Is the boss bear hunter. . As Bill and his partner, who live in a little cabin in the mountains, were getting their meal one day. be heard a noise, and looking out ot the cabin door, described a .huge bear quietly eating a deer he had recently killed and left, lying on a table outside. Bill didn't stop to take down his famous needle bear gun. but seized his pard's rifle and fired. This only Infuriated Ms beat-ship, and he went for Bill, who hustl ed Into the cabin ; but bruin was so close hn didn't take time to shut the door, but skinned right up the side ot the cabin. while his pardner ran up his back, both arriving at the roof at one and the same time, and tearing a hole In the roof, both were soon sate on the comb. The bear. meantime, smelling the savory meat, etc., cooking on the fire for their Intended meal, waltzed in and commenced getting away with tlie grub. This enraged Bill, and noting the position where his trusty needle-gun hung on the wall, he tore another hole in the roof over it, reached In. obtained it and, firing, killed the bear and saved a portion of his supper Bears and slch have no business fooling around In the vicinity of out hunters. Pitrnir nutlets. Mrs. Joseph Webber has returned from Corvaltis. Mrs. Dr. Freeland has gone to Southern Oregon, on a short visit. The city la full ot grass widowers and they look sorrowful enough. At Mr. Andrew Hale's we saw growing the hulless oat, just the Joker for making oatmeal. It is the intention ot the narrow gauge to build three warehouses in Albany prairie this season. The Celebrated Standard White Shirts, from $1 up, at Slain's. The contract for building the narrow gauge railroad bridge across tlie Santiam calls tor its completion on the 5th ot next month. It is contemplated to use tlie room on the west side of the Court House, between the Clerk and Sheriff's offices tor the new vault to be fire-proof in which to keep the papers aud county records. New millinery at Mrs. Powell's too handsome for anything. It Is understood that the Fanners' Com pany has let out one hundred and fifty thousand sacks, and hundreds, if not thou sands, ot them have been filled twice. There has been tlie greatest difficulty experienced in getting sacks fast enough to supply tlie demand of our farmers in which to bring their wheat to the ware houses. ' ' rue Oregon Legislature convened on Monday. All ot Linn county's delegates were on hand. Overcoats and ulsters, for the largest men and smallest boys, at Blaiu's. ' The surprise party at Mr. Flindt's Saturday night was largely attended by the ladies, among whom Mr. F. is a great f.ivorite. Owing to the liberality of Messrs. Scott and Monteith, a large number ot our peo ple lived luxuriously on venison in the front of the week. The display of clothing at L- E. Blain's is the largest ever made In his place, and the selection and variety is unusually at tractive. The Governor's ' message covers nearly twelve columns set in Brevier type, and is a very exhaustive document. The glove fitting patterns can be obtain ed at Mrs. Powell's. " John Mendenluill and wife' were in the city on Tuesday, on their way borne to Portland, from the monntslns. Mr. Mendenhall, Ike Conn and Mr. Riley killed seventeen deer, and.
