OCTOBER 2, 1874.
LINN COUNTY FAIR. ,
The cflming week" will witness the
ninth annual fair of -the Linn. County
Agricultural Association, and judging
fmm what we can hear from all parts
of the county there is going to be a
large orowd In attendance. Our citi
zens should all take pride in these an
nual exhibitions of the products of the
country, and should all bring some
thing to enter for premiums.. The la
dles ought to bring their flowers, can
.. fmit fancv work, ets.; the men
their agricultural and mechanical im
plements, horses, cattle, sheepand hogs,
and bv each one adding one or two ar
ticles to the list we would have an ex
hition that could hot be rivalled by any
other in the country.
Prominent among the many novel
ties that will tend to enliven the peo
ple at the Fair Ground will be an ex
hibition of the squirting powers of the
large steam Are engine of the Port
land Are department, Willamette En
gine Co. No. 1 having sent word that
they will positively , be here on Wed
nesday. Men are now at 'work con
structing a ditch from the Canal to theJ
lair grounu wr tiio ui.oa ui omij
ing water In sufficient quantities for the
working of the engine, which exhibi
tion will come off at 2 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon. ,.
Another novelty will be a trotting
match between a span of large, elks
and a span of fast horses. This span
of elks is now at the Washington
County Fair, and will without doubt
te up here next week.

Sharp. We heard of a nice little
bit of financiering being done in this
city this week by a young man lo
has just started out in life. He has
bought a farm near Peoria, but still
owes a nice little sum upon it, and of
course wants to make every cent lie can.
He owed a small debt to an old farmer
in that part of the country who agreed
to take wheat at 75 cents per bushel in
pay men t after harvest. The ti me rolled
around, and the young man, who no
doubt wishes to gain a reputation for
business capacity and fair . dealing,
thought he would save'money by pay
ing off his debt in greenbacks, whlch
was accordingly done. He seemed.to
understand very well about the ten
cents diilcrence in the price of gold and
greenbacks, but didn't think it made
any difference if wheat had fallen to
56 cents. Query Which was it that
got greenbacked ?
St. Chabi.es Hotkl. Within the
last week the proprietorship of this
popular hotel has changed, .Mr. N. S.j
DuTSpia having sold ou,t to Messrs.
Mathews & Morrison, of Portland.' Tho
new nrnnrlotois arc both gentlemen of
innsi"iici-!ili!e renutation and have had
a good deal of hotel experience, both j
on this Coast and in the East. They.
expect to run a first-class, hotel, one
that will be a credit to our city, and
second to none in the State in the way
of comfortabb lodgings and well-set
tables. We hope they may succeed in

' Enterprising. Las: Monday sev
eral' of our citizens filed articles for
the Incor'pdration of ."The Alden Fruit

The following named persona are the
Incorporators: Jason Wheeler, A. B.
Morris. Allen Parker, C. P. Burkhart,
Ralston and
. at $12.000which is divided into 240
shares at $50 each. This is a step in
the right direction and one that ve
have been wishing to see for .a good
. while. .There is no better fruit-growing
country in the world than Oregon,
and no other county better adapted for
that purpose than Linn county. For
the past few years the orchards
throughout the whole .extent of the
Willamette valley l?ave been allowed
to die out in if great1-measure for the
reason that there was no market for
the fruit, but as this fruit drying com
pany will'be in full operation by next
. fall, the fruit raisers will not have that

The New Boat. The new boat
OAio,.lately built at Portland, arrived
' at the wharf in this city last Tuesday
evening, with several tons of freight for
our merchants. It was such an un
usual thing for boats to come to this
city at this stage of the river that the
wharf was lined with people to witness
the arrival of this boat. This wae hut
an experimental trip on the part of the
owners of this boat, for the purpose of
. ascertaining if they could lun the year
round. Although with a luad of ten
tons the Oiio only draws about nine
Inches of water, it is not considered
Minstrels .Morill'aSan Francisco
Minstrels gave a performanco at the
Pacific Opera House on last Monday to
alargo audience. Thisispositivcly the
Vjesjt troupe of minstrels, that has vis
ited our city for years. Charlie Nick-
ersoninhimsefisa lhole team, and
always in his original comicalities
succeeded in bringing down the house.
It is very rare that a person gets a
chance of seeing such an array of
talent as these performers present.'
They will be here during the Fair and
will no doubt receive crowded houses,
"And that's all." '

JliVtor Demnwat: ' , (
On Monday last an accidentoccurred
which cunt a mantle of gloom over the
whole community; an accident which
r ibbed h pleasant and highly respecta
ble family of a mother, andafondhus
baud of a wife. Mrs. Welt, who had
been afflicted with the ague, but had
so far recovered as to be able to sit up
a portion of the day, was sitting before
the fire last Monday morning about 8
o'clock, when her olothing became Ig
nited and burned with such rapidity
that she was unable to extinguish the
flames. There was no person in the
room at the time except two small
girls, who gave the alarm, but ere as
sistance could reach the unfortunate la
dy and extinguish the flames her per
son was so badly burned that the skin
and flesh wereprfeetlr charred. I ar
rived at tho residence of fhe heart
stricken family Just as tho flames were
being extinguished. What a heart
rending scene met my gaze! the un
fortunate' mother was lying on. the
floor, her clothing burnt and torn
n shreds, partially wrapped in ablank-
ct, tho work of afriendly hand to ex
tinguish the flames, the husband bend-
iug over her to alleviate her suffering
as much as possible; and two little
weeping girls locked in eaoh others
embrace, uttering in prophetic shrieks
between sobs that mother would never
get well. How true the prophecy.
That night Mrs. Joseph Welt was re
lieved from suffering by the 'kind
hand of Providence. On Wednesday
her remains were followed to their last
resting place' by a large number of
friends and citizens. , ' j
This has evidently been a good week
for our efficient county clerk and the
inlnistors. Three weddings have oo
ourred bettyeen parties residing in
North Brownsville; whether' it is
caused by tho prospects of bettor times
coming, when the town becomes In
corporated, or whether it is tho fore
runner or harbinger of a cold winter,
Tnm nimble with mv stock of exper
ience to say. Be that as it may, there
has'beeu three blushing maids of this
village led, to the hymeneal altar "like
sheep to the slaughter,-" and we ex
pect toadd several more to the list in
a few days.
Monday evening our townsman who
distinguished himself while attending
the Independent convention in your
city last spring, by referring to other
members of tlie convention as whisky
bloats, and other like inappropriate
cognomens, collected, a band of boys,
consisting of three of. his own, sons
and two or three of the neighbor boys,
marched to where there was a newly
wecMeii pair and dorfiinenced under the
window an incantation, consisting of
screaming, and vigorous strokes on
their tiu pans and brass kettles which
would have made the most unregener
atcd Sioux or Snake Indian blush with
sheer shame, especially when a lady
only a short distance away was writh
ing in pain at the paint of death. The
boys are excusable, but a man whose
locks are whitened by the snows of
many winters, will not so readily meet
with a pardon from an outraged .com.
munity.. I hope this may bo the last
time I will be called upon to chronicle
an affair of this kind, wherein the
chief actor is a man of two score and
ten. Yours truly.

KtsaiNO CitocjCET.We Bee by our
Eastern papers that there has lately
been made a decided improvement on
"the old way of playing croquet, the new
game sailing under the very .sugges
tive name of "kissing croojuet." ' The
way they play it Is this: Whenever a
young lady thinks she can better her
condition by moving her ball six in
ches, she is allowed to do so by kissing
one of the jounst gentleman of theop
posite side. Who wante to play cro
quet by the new rules? We are ready
to drop this quill and go to playing at
one minute's notice. We think it
would be to the interest of our mer
chants to introduce thie game, as It
would create 'a great (remand for tape
measures.

has ooened out a neat restaurant next
