lie FJilDAY .....AUGUST 1, 1879. Tiir '.I h ml ro( ItaMiagral. Up to last week evcrythiug indicated that our grain crop would bo nuusually largo but on List Friday the weather turned very warm and by the f o) iowi ng Mond ay t ho rust bad made serious inroads into the grain. Tho fammu Chili Club wheat, which lias made uoh a Urgn run in thi county, seem to bo affect ed worse than my other variety, while it u very rare that you hear cf the White Medi terranean that is least bit rusty. The fall wheat, which embraces fuly une-third of our acreage, has fully matured and will not bo da-aaged, and the earliest spring (own grain wi'dbe hurt very liulo. In it the berry U fully developed in ai;e and that which has got into dough ia now being cut as fast as tSe machines can work. That which is in the milk will uot turn out so well, as the berry will sLriwl considerably before it is ready to cut. The wheat which was sown in April will be almost a total failure, and there is a great deal of it in our county. Tue latest sown grain haaalso been attacked, but as it has not yet lieadod out, and the weather is now waoh cooler it may possibly come out all right; nothing positive can be said in regard to it for a week or so yet. On this subject we aavc conversed with farm ers living up the valley as far as Ilalsey, and from Coivallia on over to Tangent, Lebanon and Sodaville, and all over the Albany I'rai rte. la these commuties it seems to be the worst, while farmers from the forks of the isuttiara say their crop are very little affect ed by it; and as the harvest begins almost a week earlier up near Ilarrisburg titan on our prairie we suppose their loss will not bo very great. Taking it into consideration we be lieve it is safe to predict that this country's yield will not fall over one-third short, and if the latest sown sraia i imej out without much loss, it will not be that low. .1 Hatter at laiportaare. Messrs. iiuharta & Pubraille, saddlers and harness makers of thiscity.have received from the Salem Manufacturing Comjany an in voice of the finest saddle trees that we have ever seen. They are made by convict labor at the l'enitentinry, and are therefore cheap. By this moans the m anutacturer is able to tarn out first class saddles at reduced prices. lm't fail to call and take a look at those splendid "trees." Ey-the-way, we are much imrise 1 fiat our saddlers and shoemakers d m't nss more of the Oregon ma-la leather t'uui t'isr d-. We hare seen a store rojri full c-f the leatlser prvpan-d, turned ctd Culdicd by c-uivict labor employed by tte Oregon Man ufacturing Company, abi-Ji to our miad was as g.Kxl and durable as auy IZasii.r.1 leather. TUe tanic acid atada by Oregon timber 1-ark ia fii-at ?t.-si. And the nroeess nf tamiiri'.' it on to that of any Eastern manufactory, and the employment of convict labor tnablts the manufacturer to sell at less cost than others ; hence we cancot understand why our local harness manufacturers and leather workers don't purchase the home product instead of sending money abroad for material. Per haps some expert leather worker can answer this question. The M. Charles Il.lrl. This popular hotel, w hich has bsen ably conducted for the peat year by Major ller ren, changed hands last Tuesday, and is now under the control of Mrs. C Hook. Mis. If. has had considerable experience in this line, and under her management we feel sure the St. Charles will prove renntnerative and be a credit to onr city. The 'first step she proposes to take is to subject the whole building to a thorough cleansing, and in this she shows good judgment, for a person can even pat np with an inferior table if their rooms and beds are clean and kept in good order. The lady intends to personally superintend all the departments of the house, and will make changes and improvements in every one, and she is sure to get a full share of public patronage. Trarhins Maleat Indritendearr. Miss Dollie Ilouk, of this city, is teach ing instrumental music at Independence, and has a very good class. She will shortly or ganize a class at uaena ista, ana will then divide ber time between the two places. Miss Dollio is a talented musician and has had the benefit of instruction from one of the most prominent musicians in our State, and at the late concert given by Miss Piper in this city was awarded the prize bouquet by Prof. Eriggs for the best musical perfor mance of the evening. i r Tbe Flax Barrnt. The pulling of lint flax commenced in this ' county last week and is now progressing very j nicely, about seventy-five Chinese being en-' gaged to do the work. There are only some 120 or 130 acres of it in this season, but it is turning out about double aa well as usual. Th3 weather has been just as is needed by lint flax and the consequence is that the stalk has . generally reached the length of four feet, and considerable of it will nearly measure even five. The Wrritlinz. The event of the week was to have come oflf last evening, and was no less than the marriage to Mr. Chas. II. Templeton and Miss. Hettie Thompson. We went to press before the affair came off, and conse quently the report of it will not appear until next week. We might have anticipated a little and written it up; but we have got into several scrapes by doing so heretofore, and this time we concluded to wait. - The Sew "OUIo." The steamer Ohio arrived at our wharves last Monday, and looked so neat and trim tliat our folks hardly knew her. The boiler and engine of the Salem have been transfer red far the 0u'o, and as she ia of very light draft she will be able to run up as far as this city for several weeks yet. Last week we mentioned that she had the contract for car rying the railroad iron to Corvallis,but Capt .Scott informs us that it is not correct. From Chewanenn. Will Miller arrived from Chewaucan Val ley, in Southern Oregon, last Monday. A month or two ago he went out there from this county with the Morgan Bros, who took out there several hundred head of cattle. They made the drive of about 275 miles in j ust one week, and only lost one animal. Passed Away. Miss Fannie Burkhart, eldest daughter of the late L. C. Burkhart, died near this city last Tuesday and was buried on Wednesday at the City Cemetery. Look Here, Cleufs. Wanted- a few gentlemen correspondents. Object, fun. and pastime. Address Miss Eufcla Bell, Albany. A Noted Character. UuJer tho nlxne caption, tho Jacksonville ftriih'iifl has the following. Tho hero of the tale ia, well known iu litis community, and his life's history is very well and truthfully written np iu this article, until you come to tho National bank business thnt should be read "faro bank" : Iast Saturday thcro came to this place au individual whose history would adorn the pases of tho most thrilliniz romance. His name is Oeonre Sylvester, ami his parents re side at Tho liailes, whither they removed from Albany, Litm county, several years ai:ik the family crossed the lilams to Call' forma in 1S.M. !corgo Injinj? a baby at tho time, aged aixmt four years. While oanipcil at tho sink of the llumtxHtlt liver, Ccorxo was stolen by the l'iuto Indians. liis mother became frantic with grief at tho loss of her child and would not leave the place where he was lost until tho river was draped for miles and tho couutry scoured by nyinpa thizinc friends for her lost darling. 'I ho search was vain and tho grief stricken par ents wore compelled to proceed on thoir jour ney with no tidings of tho fate of their miss- ing child. They arrived in California, but becoming uisxatistieil with the country, they came to Oregon and located iu Albany. Tlio mother, witlt that love and faith Inch sur passus huinau uudcrNtaudmg and triumphs over death, never despaired of again meet ing her lost boy. No argument could con vince her that he was drowned. Her hope could uot be stilled that her child would, some day, be rtored to her. Years aped on. Other children were born to her and loved and reared with all the intensity of paternal affection, but the lost child was not lorgotton, nor was her faith weakened that he still lived. Fifteen years jessed and were recorded on tho tomb of buried time. Still that mother, waited, watched and prayed. The Sioux Indians became hostile, and a detachment of soldiers tinder Colonel King went after thi nu An engagement took place ui the then Territory of .Nebraska in which the Indians were routed and many Killed and made prisoners. Among tho lat ter a white boy was found, but lie had no knowledge of his race and talked only the language of the tribes of Indians with whom he had been raised, lie was taken to Inde pendence, Missouri, and the telegraph an nounced the fact throughout the country. A brother of Omar Sylvester, the father of the boy. who resided in Ouincv. Illinois, nro- feeded at once to see him, and, from a de scription which he had of the lost child, he knew hint to bo the same. Telegrams were sent to the parents at Albany and Iconic was soon sent home to his mother, i'.ut he could not be induced to remain. Civilization was too Came for the t-usto be had acquired during his captivity and he soon returned to the Kast and entered the tiovemment service in the capacity of interpreter with the Chey enne, Sioux and other tribes whose lan guages he talks fluently. Ho was with Crook. Custer, Keno ami other officers sent against these Indians, lie has made money enough to open a National bank on his own account, but he spends it as fast as he makes it. He is now engaged in selling uoii-exido-si ve powder to use with kerosene oil, and it is no humbug. Its virtue has been tested to the satisfaction of all w ho have tried it. It ia a red powder resembling brick dust. A small quantity is put in a lamnfull of oil and its explosive quality is destroyed while the oil burus as well as befora. Ueotve is now en his way to the Willamette valley and he thinks he will visit his parents, thoughhe is not sure, as he says he "always feels bash ful, when he is at home." Ta the Farmer. The reports published in la-it week's !!- ocbat by the agents for tho Wood's and Os borno Harvesters are neither ono correct. That published by A. M. Hoop was hastily written by me, on the evening of the trial. and was not intended for publication. I omittod to state that for best work in-lodged grain the Oj borne received 10 votes, and the words "best cutting ono way" I did not write. They are Mr. Hoop's p-xn words. The report published by New bury. Chapman Co. fails to state that for binding the Woods received seven voti-s and the Os borne three.

NICKEKSON, Teacher. .ire Vuu Coins "r Coast? We wish to direct the attention of our citizens and the public generally to the ad vertisement of M. M. and M. F. Crow, who have established a stage and boat line be tween Corvalli and New-port on the Yaquina Cay. They have a line of coaches running between Corvallis and Pioneer, and from the latter place their steam launch tho Kartkn makes regular trips to Newport. The. fare for the rund trip has lcen put down to the extremely low prieo of 55.00, which makes it altogether the cheapest way of tak ing an excursion to the seaside. For the particulars refer to their advertisement. The Albanr College. By referring to the advertisements it will be seen that tho Albany Collegiate Institute will be opened out by the Kevs. Condit on the first day of September. These gentle mea are highly educated and have had )k great deal of experience in conducting first class institutions of learning, and conse quently we think the future - of our College is very bright. We hope to hear of our peo ple patronizing it liberally ; it is a home in stitution, with a talented faculty, and can impart good solid instruction to ail who at tend, and we hope that this thing of sending off to other counties will now stop.( Surveying Party. W. B. Barr, who completed the the sur vey of two townships on the Santiam this Spring, has secured another contract for sur veying near the mouth of the Siuslaw, and started with his party from this city last Wednesday for his new scene of labor. Their outfit was loaded on board of a wagon and will be taken by it over to Newport and then -down the Coast as far as Cape Perpet ua, when pack animals will be substituted. We have not heard the extent of the con tract, but it will take them gome two or three months to complete it. A Fine Dwelling. J. It. Lomer, of this city, is now building a fine residence for John Smith, at Corvallis, which, when completed will cost about .-,000. K. Carter & Co. are turning out the shoj) work, which is all of cedar, and the most beautiful we have sesa for a long time. E ((::: I mnlSDn f until,!, Ckn i r.iiviu.i!, July sad, 1S71I. VJltor D inot-iitt: Tho "!th of this month will have been a year siuco I Wlo adieu with sorrowful tears standing in my eyes to tho city of Albany and her friends and took my departure for a more congenial clime the wihlhorso coun try of Umatilla county. I wept, not bo causo I might never iu the future look upoti your fair city, but that I, in all human prob ability, would never agaiuimako it my homo, I had fondly cherished (?) tho hopo that 1 was going to a land of strangers, but how happily are wo itmtctimcs disappointed, 1 found that a very largo portion of tho inhab itants of this county were formerly from old Linn old acquaintances, who were aa doepiy interested iu developing the vast ro. sources and as enthusiastic over the fu turo proRpeet nud welfare of this comity as tltoy "used to was" of old Linn, A pe puliar impression is made upon every one whoso good fortune it has lwon to visit this section, namely, that iu tho beautiful, grand and pieturetquo, it turpattea all oilier coun tries in tho world. One of our State digni taries, who recently paid us a visit expressed his admiration of it in these words : "The Creator made this couutry just before ho made woman," And in that we think he was not far wrong, for nuxt to a Wuftiul and lovely woman we know of nothing we hold in groator esteem or to which we are more devotedly attached. Seven years ago it was doubted if agricul ture here could bn made a success, but a look at our magnificent grain fields the pres ent season will set all speculation on that score at rust. It's yielding capacity U from thirty-five to fifty bushels of wheat ami forty-live to sixty bushels of barley per acre. Never have 1 seen so gorgeous a prospect. During a residence of twenty (ive year in I -inn county, I never saw anything to equal it or that would Itcgin to compare with it. This may seem strange and even fabulous to the people who have seen the rijh grain fields of tho Albany prairie, but that it is true can be established by scores of the best citizens of. the Willamette valley, who have visited here during the present season Our littlo village a year since had but two bttsi ne. liou.-e iu it one blacksmith ami one harness shop, and not a domicile. To-day wo have a slnre of General merchandise, on9 drug store, one till, hard ware and agricultural house, oue hotel, one restaurant, ono livery stable, oue saloon, one harness shop, oue butcher shop, one wagon shop, three blacksmith shops, ono planer and ono Chinese wah house, besides numerous dwcUiug. Tho construction of another store house commenced to-day and another oue uailur headway. We hear of other buildiugs bciiig projected and judging from present indications we wilt grow to be a town of considerable importance beforo win- tcr. l'tung situated on the stage route be tween Pendleton and Walla Walla we have a daily mail from cither plate. The Indian scare is a hoax. I see by the telegraphic dispatches to the ttmjtmitiH that an Indian has bc-n killed by white man at the head of Wild Horse Canyon, and that the Snakes or I'iutcs have threatened to take tho Umatilla Agency ; and firing ha been going on every night for the past five nights; that agnnt Cornoyer has hidden away his family and the women, all of which is utter ly false and without even a shadow of truth. No Indiau was ever killed by a whito inau as above stated however, one got a "head put on him" at iier Spring, some twenty miles from the hea I of Wil l Horse Canyon for going through a field of wheat and re fusing to put the fouee up after bim. No "seventy-five or eighty" Snakes or Piute have been seen. A Ncz Perce rc;orUd to the Indian Chief Homily that ho had seen six .Snakes up to ward the head of the Umatilla river, who tried to catch him. This is the representa tion of the situation at present and any existing reports contra wise are mere buga boos manufactured to order. The people of this, section apprehend no trouble whatever this summer and I will say to those who wish to come, dou't stay away on account of these groundless reports. Truly yours, 3. ii. I. Xuprruir Court tatrt. I Ia thi cam of the State of Oregon agiu;tt a Chinaman for the crime of ra'ie committed ! on the little daughter of J. C.

La3t Monday evening a man named Iwis became intoxicated, and going down to tho Star Brewery Mr. Bt.-lla.ngar put him out. He then came back up town, and providing himself with a revolver he cocked it and put it in his pants pocket and went back after vengeance He was not a very valiaut man so he skulked around tho brewery, and after awhile his revolver went off and the ball struck him in the thigh and ranged down the leg, lodging somewhere near the knee. Ho was taken to X'ckloy'i (or Smith's) and & doctor called, who dressed tbe wound, but has not yet removed the bullet. As the man only had a few dollars, there will be another nice little bill for thu e-wnty to pay. A UieaiU at Corvaill. Editor Democrat : On Thursday of last week, Mrs. J. 11. Scrafford, aged 20 years, departed this life, She bore with Christian fortitude her painful illness of over five months: They tell me I must not rojfret her, That she's now bright angel above And happier than I could have made her With a life of devotion and love.

Perhaps the most cllootivo ornainoulatloii is that consequent on the employment of ribbon bows, to say nothing of the coquet ish licit to matclk Those bows are placed aiiywhoro nud everywhere, and tho result" are as charming as can lie. And yet as if in perversity, we constantly wo tho ribbon, how or tio at tho throat discarded inordcr to give placo to a single large (lower, as the case may bo. Bunches of (lowers are indeed a uotablo feature in tho outfit of the Saratoga hello. They are worn (jc llrnre at tho waist on the loft side, but r. 1 have said, they give finish at tho neck, or somotiim a smaller boquet or single flower ia at the throat, while an addition of tho name kind, but larger, is at the wan t.

Miss Till'any, of Now York, the other day wore a dress ocrucamel'a hair com bined w ith palo blue, while a brocadud rib bon showing bright mixtures of red and blue gavo liuish and an Alsatian how to match appeared on her head. Again 1 ob sorved Mrs. Vandorbilt, who was dressed one morning in a pmk stnia lawn, wiui broad brimmed hat lined with palo blue satin and an iuitiieiiso crimson poppy on tho outside. Tho shade hat worn on piaxzaa and about tho streets (for wo all go about in a reckless sort of a way, with or without a hat, indeed with or without gloves, with long trailing umsh.is, or habited in demure walkiug suits) aro captivating by reasou ol the variety and tho extreme ohinh of the mode of trimming. Sometimo great piles of crushed roses aro hcaiicd together without foliage; sometimes 'tis oue large Hnwcr; a modest bunch of 'small llowers; or again careless sprays which hang down occasion ally as far as tho waist. Fayal work is quite in favor nud one of tho prtttirat morning morning costumes worn by a daughter o( Judge Hilton, was of -jhyr gingham hav ing row of Fayal work let in throughout. Another superb toilette worn by ?.!r. Astor, of New York, was of white satin clalr-aU-ly triuimwt with flue Fayal work.

Tho Ihma walking roilume consists of a tight fit ting basque with cut away Ironu showing a pointed vcit and skirt trimmed with deep box plaited flounces, while tho Ncrissa over skirt certainly may also bo singled out be cause of its graceful stylishness ; the more so as it is adapted to any das of dress goods or wash materials. With this the Lucille liavino would combine tastefully having cut away loose fronts and tight fitting vest. I cannot omit mention of the Berenice walk ing skirt, which shows a drajtcd apron turn ed back with revers aliove a finish of plait aud flounces liclow.

Some variety is given by a waved coil with short curls at the back, or again all the hair may bo waved, drawn back with some stray locks left in front, and confined low down with a mush of short curls, frizzes, or crrv cteur locks aro almost universally seen, but not in such exaggeration a formerly.
