I rl teller. Dsatfs Aming Strangers. On Wednesday of last week Goa. W Pyalt, nf Portland, came to thia fit y with Mr J M Home, an J Intended rein lining with him bore several weeks. He was feeling badly at the time, but was not very sick. On Friday night he was first confined to his bed with aggravated bli iousness, and during Saturday and Sun day was unable to eat any food at all. Monday morning at 5 o'clock he was get ting along very well and it was thought he would recover, but he grew worse and at t o'clock breathed his last. He was taken to Portland on Tuesday by Mr. Home, and buried in the cemetery there. Mr Pyatt was originally from Pittsburg, where he has an adopted mother. Leav ing there be went to Denver, where he was iu business several years. From Denver 8tt went to San Francisco and from San Francisco to Portland, where he had clerked in Cornelius' drug store, and we understand was attentive to business. He lived there about eight months, at the time of his death he was looking around with the intention of starting in business for himself. Ho was engaged to a young lady in Portland and was to bo married in a short time. His life was insured in the Manhattan Life Insurauce Co.. for fSOOO payable t- bis executors it is re ported that he was worth 810,000 or 815,- 0J0. tree Skew. Tcop'e at the Depot Monday neon w:re treated to a free show, worth at least the price of the admission free, $X00. la a box car, wiih doors wide open, were two cougirs. a three legged calf and an eik. 'Tut, tut, there, take care, young man, or they will bite," said Murray, the drayman, who was acting as door keeper, as we were examining the eye teeth of a cougar. Then wo directed our attention to the hind foot of the festive calf. "Look out there, young fallow, or he'll kiek," said soma eue. bu t we kuew better for calves, like men. have lo have at least one foot to stand on. We understand they belong to Curl Brothers, of Scio, but what they intend deiag with them we did not learn. Twe Wives, There arrived ia this city a short time ago a woman with ire children. She was an immigrant, and there was a look of sor row in her face. The pear children looked fatherless ; bat they were not. Their pa rental relative had come in advance of them six or seven years, and had taken entu him self another wife, contrary to the lawa of our beloved count ry. Wife No. 2 found that the lust on i was livia on a farm in Benton county, and she immediately wended ber steps thitherward, found him, and set tled down in Mormon style, children and all. There is confusion in that neighbor, hoed now a days. We understand that there will be a trial at Corvalli for bigamy at the next session of the Circuit Court, until such time we thall keep the names silent. Maet Hail As Exprrlmrr, An interesting letter from Mack Montehh, at The Dalles, was received a few days since by a friend. Written in his pointed style, it gives an account of an attack male on bim one Bight by a couple ef "thugs." He was going home about ten o'clock when they ap proached him from behind with their implements of war, ami were about to strike him when he backed up, showed fight, and getting a good chance, turned and ran like well, like a deer, and as fast as his long legs would ear-y him. The Dalles is evidently a bad place, such occurrences being quite common there and we understand is fuil ef bold robbers and street thugs. An Immense flap Tarsi Sear Albany . An experienced searcher from Portland was in the city last week looking np the title to the land in the neck of the Wil lamette and Santiam rivers, known as the old Crook's claim, for Portland capital ists, Mr Bell, of the Oregon Bank being the principal one. A deed of 1000 acres of the same will be made and an immense hop yard laid out. A large snm of money will be put in it, and the men at the' back of it insures Us success. Full particulars can not yet be obtained, but enough is known to place it among the actual im provements of the county. No doubt Albany will reap its share of the benefit. Albany Muhiral Society.

TieexpinJitare iu Portland last year for school purpose t was 9210.005,60, a cost of about $50 to the student In Albany it was only about $10 to the student.
