It beonmes oar paiuful duty to chronicle sod affair which ocenrrud at Brownsville en last Friday cvmiiug ill which Chn. William, of tlie firm of Stoue h William, druggists, hot and instantly killed Francis M. Fiolds more generally known as "Doo" FiuMa. Dr. Stout, Willisim wtnor, ni the only wituau oe tha traly. and from bis testi-phe raony fcefora tha Carouer'a jury it appears that Fiolds, on tha availing named, want into the drug store, and goiug behind tha labora tory, called. Williams to him toil asked him for whiskay, doairing to register his name as the city ordinance of Brownsville prescribes that no whisky shall be told save for medici nal purposes, tha purchaser being required to register his name and the purpose for which he gats it .William, however, refused to let Field have it, whereupon the latter called him some hard name and left the drug (tore. After an absence of some minute Field returned, and, walking through, the drag tore, passed into a back room, into which both William and Stone immediately fol lowed him. " Here some heated word passed between Fields and Williams, when the latter ordered Field to leave the place, at the amo timo taking up a shot gun from where it had baea standing in a corner. At this demon stration the witness say Fields put his hand in his back pants' pocket, as if going for a pistol, vifeeu Williams fired, the whole charge of shot entering Fields check and neck, pro. ducing instant dsath. William immediately surrendered himself to an officer ; the Cor oner '( jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above statement, and Williams had a preliminary examination before Justice Thompson, of Brownsville, last Wednesday, F. M. Fields was aed about 23 years, and unmarried, lie is a grandson of lion. Jaa. Blakely, of Brownlvillo, was raised ia I-inn county and leaves a long line of respectable relatives to mourn his untimely fate. Charles Williams is also njed about years, was raised in tho same neighborhood with Fields, and tho two wore thought to have risen excellent friend. Williams is also most respectably connected, and seems to have borne t good name ia the community in which he has for s3 long resided. This is a moat lamenttblo affair, and one which has created considerable feeling ia the quiet portion of our county where it occurred. T Baalism Rrlilsc Queolioa. Tho County Court yesterday decided to grant the prayer of the petitioners for tha eonstructioa of a bridge across the South fork of the Sau tiara, on the road leading from Albany to Scio. The appropriation of the amount necessary to build tho bridge is made with the understanding that the citi zens will by voluntary subscription mak up an amount sufficient to pay the interest on the money necessary to the construction, and we are pleased to learn that the amount is already more than half made up, A super intendent for the bridge construction is to be appointed to-day, and tho work ia to be com menced early in the Spring and pushed to a speedy completion. We will give plans, location, estimate of cost, etc, hereafter. The Hoard postponed the further considera tion, for tha present at least, of the bridgo project between Scio and Marion Station. 81111 Aaather Cnr.

Well, Henry, if we were not with you in the flesh at your marriage, we are with yon now ia spirit, and that is a g-oat deal better, as W would have made heavy inroads upon tha grab at tho marriage feast if we had been there. We wish yon and your happy bride long life, peace, prosperity, and all the joy that aaa possibly fall to the lot of we mortals here below. ST far Earepe. Robt. A Foster will, on the next outgoing trip of the Elder, start for the East, where he will join Will T. Gray and Mrs. Lowns dale, of Salem, and Walter Smith, of Fort- land, aad all will then start for Europe The first objective point we believe is Ireland, and from thence the party will go around to London, and then make a tour of tha Con tinent. Bob will only be absent from six months to a year, but the remaiudor of the party will remain in Europe about two years. Tha party will no doubt have a splendid trip, but it is very probable they will feel glad to get back to "Old Webfoot" again. We could not go this time, but Bob has kiudly prom iaed to present our regards to Queea Victoria and President McMahon, and inform them that we think just as much of them as ever. A Veaatica. The Register is hefty on "donation." It seems that about every announcement it makes for St. Fanl'a M. E. Church, no mat ter whether it be a prayer meeting, a Christ mas tree or a sociable, in the JftvnVcr' col umns they are announced as "donation par ties." Thinking perhaps the firyiiter men's heads ran on this because of the vacuum in their stomachs, the ladies of St. Paul's c'lorch, after their sociable at Mr. Ram bau0'!i' on Wednesday evening, sent that office a bundle of cake ajiropriatel labelled, "DokiUoh from St. Fanl'a M. E. Chnrch to tha Daly fiegiiter.'' with the hope that it will relievo that "goneness" of the stomach at laat long enough to permit the editors to get an intelligent and correct item in their columns. Harper's Masaxlae. This famous magazine has gained a world wide reputation for superiority in the field which it occupies, and justly, too, we think, as its proprietors have spent years in bringing it up to the present high literary standard. The January and February numbers arrived last week at our office, and met with a very cordial reception. These numbers are replete with interesting matter, and after reading them we cannot see how regulated family can get along withont "ij magazine. Oct r.f nrttt. Linn County has settled up the State - and is now out of debt. On Thursday of last week onr County Treasurer, PhiL Grigs by, went down to Salem and paid over the sum of $18.9-49.43, which was the balance dne the State from this county, S13.392.6S having been turned over before this.

Gladly we hail them, tlioie of a who mingla in the practical battle of life, and would fain array ourselves for conquest over duti and mud, in garment other than trains of silk or velvet. As yet we find these serviceable costumes of woolen twill, inosaie eloth, and jauntily mixed bour- ettos, siuo ao far, noriolijgaols have been thus devised. Now we a re all familiar with kilt skirts worn by little boys. Just imagine these made large and long enough for their names, and jeu have the short skirts worn by Ladies. The'plaitings, about two inchet in width, are kept in position by tapes, and are usually attached to a yoke fitting plainly to the hips, to conceal which, a short apron fall over, and i finished in two long plaited end pendant at the back. Said apron is often fancifully cut, and may bo longer on on aide than tha other. Tha waist i a blouse, mads either plain, or laid H plait, and ahow a square yoke and deep collar. The. tleevai are tight. Some ladies of very (lender figure, dispense with the yoke, but tha apron ia always seen. .

Bo much for the dress, now tor the garment which is added for street. Figure to your self a gentlomau'i coat; long according to tha present fashion, and you have it, tha only feminine feature about it being the material which ia the same a the dress. This peculiar garment however, although more stylish thau anything else, is not ob ligatory. tioon VIUKflfl TO COM. t have dwelt at some length on these new costumes not only because they are admirable in themselves, but because thay are the fore tasto of better things in the future. I can not believe but what they will enter in and bring improvement to the whole range of attire for the street, The evil ha beea se monstrous that it is working it own cure, nor can I suppose that any lady who aeea a relief from a train which ahe ia forced to hold up, with frozen, crippled fiagera, will not hasten to soak that relief, and I do not fear to prophesy that ere very long we will see these short costumes made np in handsome materials, aud generally patronized for out doorjpromenade. Summer dresses will share largely ia tho improvement, as by the coming of spring, these new ideas will have fully penetrated. At present, we have invested so heavily in trains, that we must wear them out or go into bankruptcy, but in choosing costumes en the change of season, we will be free. Short skirts moreover, cannot be very tightly tied back, and ouce again, a woman may hope for comparatively free use of her limbs. STTUSH NOVSXTIKS. The Elfride polonaise ia a stylish model for a dinner or reception dress, but if one should prefer a basque, the Delphino may be sug gested and this is especially adapted to the Honora overskirt The Clotildo i a very dressy trained skirt, and comports with tha Norinoy basque. The Carriek capes three short capes reaching half way to the waist, are becoming quite popular, characterized as they are by a certain quaint jauntiness, but quite as striking are the new broad collars, which assumed timidly at first, are rapidly coming into nsa. They are in all material, and are very broad, with cuffs to match worn on the outside of the sleeve. But we have not given up the small upright collar, nor ruchings of all kinds. HOTEL UFR. Last fall, Judge Hilton, in the interests of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, aumed control of the Metropolitan Hotel, and ia doing so, called to his aid Mr. Henry Clair, mtnager of tha celebrated Grand Union, Saratoga, First ia the way of improvement, has been a thorough re-furnishing, accomplished in the richest materials, combined with the most refined and beautiful taste. Simultinaously also, the cuisine has beea perfected, while rates have been reduced, so that we bow find in this truly elegant establishment, the unusual combination of first-class fare, fina surround ings, and moderate prices. Those advantages are of course dne to the fact that A. T. Stewart ft Co. possess facilities unattainable by smaller capitalists, and bow that this great firm has taken possession, theMetro polit&n may be regarded a the hotel of the city. Not only the eamfort, but the security of gncats aro vigilantly looked after, for even by day, special watchmen are employed, while,t night, each floor is patrolled. Under the preaeat management, tha idea ia to give aa much possible, asking aa little as possible in return. LUCY CARTER.

THE MiHi ,tVI POMTK . Were the President of tho United States io comniiuintt a man to altvnil to teme Im portant business, the com missioned would be tinder obligation to discharge with fidelity what wo committed to him. If tho assigned noik demanded all of hi time, he would eartainly be inexcusable, if, regardless of the wishes of the President, he were to spend tail ef it as his natural propensities might liuline hlni. Every eno would lay that ucu a man wo not worthy of any responsible fosition. But a man who ha received a commission from the King of Kings to preach tha gospel ha a perfect right to spend half hi time discussing politic. Preaching ba for it object nothing higher than simply to persuade men to escape holl and gain heaven. Man' redemption didn't cost anything except the blood of the Son of God. Of course all are perfectly willing to become religious. Did any one ever hear of such a thing as a church not being filled at every service ? No in fidelity in the land ; all are good except the politicians, aud the preachers must go te them, and ho right careful not to mention the name of Jesus, but give advice in political matters. And to abuse or eulogise politician from the pulpit is of coarse very compliment ary to a refined and cultivated audience col lected in the sanctuary of God. Paul didn't have time to discuss poliVcs, but he was a little fellow. He laid, "I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and nim crneifiud." How much oti of the clergy of the present day have improved on Paul ! Support your party from the pulpit and let the Biblo go, and when you die you will be aa sure of heaven and a crown docked with stars as Dives or Judas Iscariot. I have always lived in Tennessee, until very recently, where the preachers havo not yet explained everything in the Biblo. A fid when they do this oace, then they will com mence and expound the whole over again. and continue so to do until it ceases to be the prwer of God auto salvation to them that heliove; and then I suppose they will instruct them in politics, or tell them about Jack the Giant Killer, I have beard no political ser mons or lectures on politic from tha pulpit by any of the Allany pastors.
