And now it become our duty to clirvuicl
an event in which three men had a hair
breadth escape frost a watory grave. The
narrow gaug surveying party arrived at
Lebanon last Saturday evening, and Thielsen
and one of hi men, not relisliiug the idea of
staying out there until Monday, began hunt
ing around for some way to get to Albany,
At last they ran across J. L. Cowau, ourgon
ial Coanty Clerk, and Ike Conn, the jolly
aaw-mill man, and they hapjiening to be ef
the same miad as Thoilseu, arrangements
were soon made to eome down here the next
morning. Conn had a lot of lumber up there,
and they soon constructed a raft of it, five
feet broad by thirty ia length, and live of
thein boarding it lUrted down the canal for
this eity. Wherever a fence crossed the
caual the farmers had thrown a loug pole
across, only about two or taree feet above
the water, and ear voyagers varied the mo
notony of their course by jumping over them
or stooping down and passing under. When
they had eoms down quite a distant they
came to on of the pole which ..looked
strong and stoat, and Thielsen having passed
under Coon coming next thought he would
lay hi hand on it and jump over. He did
so, but the pole, or rather a small log, broke
almost in two and sagged down in U mid
die, throwing him list on his bauk ou tho
raft, bat on the lower aide of the pole. The
other three men were not fortunate; they
had stooped down to pass under, aud the
enrreat being very swift, before they could
get p, the pel had raked the last one of
them off into the water. Conn tell us that
rack floundering around ia water ha not
been seen ainee the days of the deluge. At
last they made the bank and footed it down
to where Conn and Thielsen had stopped the
raft, and then embarked again. The re
mainder of the veyage was made without any
ntuaap, bat being wet to the skin we' sup-
pose at least three of tho party did not enjoy
it very well.

Atleaspted Barglarj'.
Last Thursday night, between the hours
of twelve and one, a bold attempt was made
to enter the store of A. B. Mcllwain, on
First street between Broadalbin and Ells
worth streets, which, fortunately, was frus
trated. The deor of a shed in the rear of
the store was forced and by that means ac
cess was gained to the rear door of the store,
the lock of which was picked, bat being
held by a bolt, the bnrglars were unable to
obtain entranee. While they were attempt
ing to remove the obstacle, tbe noise'' awoke
tbe son of Mr. Mcllwain, who was sleeping
in the store, who attempted to shoot at them
with a revolver, but the cap missed fire and
the burglar fled poet haste. The coot taut
recurrence of these bold outrage would in
dicate the presence in our midst of a crimi
nal element that needs more than the strong
hand of th law to repress them, and we
mistake the nature of our citizens if an ex
ample is not made of some ef them before
long if this state of things continue.
Laales AJa aeetetr festival.
We have ia our city an organization which
from a philanthropic point of view, deserves
more encouragement than any other. We
allude to the Albany Ladies' Aid Society.
This organization is wholly of a charitable
and self sacrificing nature. The members
comprising it are only endeavoring to per
form the duties ef tbe "Good Samaritan."
without money and. without ' prW? They
work, sew, visit tbe sick, and often neglect
their own household duties to attend the
home of the afflicted and distressed. There
is no duty more noble, no act more desenr
ing of cemmendation. , To-night they give a
fair and festival at the Opera Honse. Will
tbe citizens of our community encourage as
well as aid them in their laudable purpose
by attending this festival? - The cost will be
trifling and we are sore the member of the
Society will present sufficient entertainment
for every one. Don't fail to go.

expeated to have in readiness a supper pre

Perhaps the comfortable and decidedly
strong minded looking ulster of gray or
brown which are now so fashionable have
bed something to do with th prevent fancy
for waumg; (wrhsp tis th fancy for walk
ing which bring alxmt the demand for ul
sters. At any rat they sro greatly patron
ized, and as a practical garment J can hardly
aay too much iu praise of them. They seam
just th thing in which to do battle with
the tlusb and snow, and beside- this thoy
are economical, for ono can wear a dress
whose best day hav departed, and wbn is
to know anything about it, for th ulster
cover it all up. Ho do the circular wraps of
thick woolen cloth, but theu a wrap deprive
oue of the ne of one's arms aud is a bulky
garment for all sleinlnr figure. Still a wrap
i so easily thrown off or on, tha, it must
therefore be regarded as very convenient.
Writing of atroet costume remind me of a
tasteful outfit recently worn by Mia W
of Madisoa Avenue. The design wa the
Carita prineetso dress with Atbine jacket.
made up in dark green plaid trimmed with
black velvet. Her younger sister, a pretty
school sirl.still ia short dresse. wore a dress
ef figured wool combined with brown velvet
made with A fin overskirt and Parbara jack
et. A walking costume worn by Mr A,
of Thirty Third street, deserve inei.tiou.
Tbe skirt of tourse wa short with plaited
flounce ef garnet satin, and with this wa
worn the l.urindo pulouaise made ia oumbi-1
nation style of garnet satin and brocade.
Tho bonnet was of garnet fell tiimmod with
sati ribbna and ostrich tip.

Oue may walk a lung distance on Proad-
wayor Fifth Avenue, or suay survey an en
tire aaaembhur at a theatre of concert, and
not one flower upon bonnet or hat. Vet
a largo rose, or a ban;h of roses or violet
at tha throat give au exceedingly woman
like finish, not only to an indoor toilette,
but to the masculine ulsters jat mcntioucd.
Tho adoptinn of tulle string, brought under
the chin and tied ia tbo most becoming of
bow is another way ia which wa show that
inclination for delicacy of finish, which crews
spontaneously in thefotnale heart. There is
a rage for thorn, and they are attached to
bonnets of all kinds even dark colored felt
or velvets. Veil of white tulle are also
qcite fashionable, and sometimes the two
ideas are united by bringing the veil over
tbe face, crossing it at the back and tying
tho ends iu a bow under the chin. Bretoa
lace of fine quality is also used on bonnets,
giving a softened finish to the severity of a
winter costume.

In a mention of some extravagancies, I

such an articl i thown by a leading bouse.
Furthermore I have been shown a pair ef

haa been mail to order aad sold for $1,500.
Wheace such costliness? it may bo asked.
Solely in the gold-wrought or jeweled clasp,
for th remainder ia but plain elastic, albeit
of the finest quality. But as any ono may
see, if jewel are once brought in, there is re
ally no limit to tbe possible cost. Should

The snow storjn which spread over the

have extended at far south as the California

Lake View, in Lako county, says that four
feet of snow fell on the Southern Oregon
wagon rood, at Green Springs. The fall of
snow at L'lke View was vary light, , aud it
has almost all disappeared already. The
Herald also says that Chewauean aad Sum

snow, and the fall has been so light on the
desert this winter that water for stock will
be exceedingly scarce unless more snow falls,
