DeVaney A Spread Eagle lies la a Spread Essie sijle To-day is the Fourth of July, the dsy of alt dsyi in the United States. It may be ignored in England snd unknown in Hot ten tot, it may pass like a summer breeze in Egypt, and go by without a firecracker in Japan ; but in America iv is the dsy that touches every true man's hert, and fills him with soaring ideas. Now he feels loyal to tke backbone and loves his coun try above all other countries. Politics are cist aside and forgotten, and all become brothers. The hyas Democrat orates un der tUcr with stars and stripe. hut he never mentions politics, the tyee Repub lican spreads himself eagle like, bat from his lips no Republicanism drop. They are simply Amartcan. Blest is tke day that can make men forget burning strifes a ad unite far a common purpose with clean hands. From the surf beat shores of Curry to the recks ol Union, and from Clatsop to Baker, it is known that Albany will not celebrate ; bat those who imagine that her citizens will not make their pocket books empty, leaving enough to go to the circus with, are grandly mistak en. Portland with her high and metro politan head, Salem with her sashes and bangs, Scio.the stronghold of Democracy, Harrisburg. the seat of socialbility. Soda ville, with her health given mineral springs, and Corvallis with her foot racers and big footed girls, will all get some of our citizens, loaded down with cash and with free hand. .Listen fer the scream of the Eagle. Cleee r asalltea Creek Hckel. On the 2 1st of hut month three schools united and held a basket picnic at Hamil ton Creek school house, which we under stand was a verv successful affair. It was saltan no bv Mr John Wins, teacher of that school, woo is well liked as s teacher. The Me Dowel creek snd Happy Home schools united with the above, together with several of Lebanon's citizens. Be sides the basket piqnic. were seme excel lent literary exercises. in which Miss OUie Long, teacher oi the Happy Home School, gsve s recitation, welt rendered ; Prof Gilbert, of Lebanon, Peter Powell, Mr Sutton, Mr Williams and others, deliver sd addresses. Good order and behavior prevailed. The dinner which followed, our worthy correspondent tells us, capped the climax, and the manner in which chickens, hams, pies and cakes disappear ed would have satisfied even the half starved editor of a country newspaper. It certainly did honor to our Canadian friends sway up in the Forks, as Joab Powell used to express it. Came Law Bad. Last Monday another chapter in the game law was turned. At that date it be came lawfal to kill or destroy any male deer or bock, bnt not until August 1st can female deer or oee be killed. And it should be remembered that none of these can be killed except for use or sale. Elk, moon and mountain sheep cannot be killed until August 1st. On the 15th day of this mouth grouse, pheasants, quail and partridges may be killed, taken, injured or destroyed with impunity or guus, and no questions will be asked if the editor is remembered, which also applies to venison. The latter will suffer aow, and so will we until our venison appetite is relieved Who will have the honor of bringing the first venison te Albany. Baa Over by a W agon . Last 3a rday, near the M E Church South, Mr John Maxwell wai driving along with a load of gravel, when a son of Daniel Best,about four years of age.climb. ed up m the side of the wag u to get a ride, but, accidentally he slipped and fell on his back, and before the wagen could be stopped ene of the wheels passed over his body near bis thighs.

Cole's circus is said to be xxoompanied by a hoarde of thieves. Lookout for them when they reach Albany.

Sam Warfield, who went . to Newport in 1866, sold out last week and left for Eastern Oregon. It is a very peculiar trsnsaction for a man to grow up with a city uutil it becomes a thriving mart with street osrs in prospecto and then leave for greener fields, but that is' the way of tbe world.

Miss Iua Robertson is now teaching school at Millers Station filling the unexpired term for another teacher.

But our neighbor should not forget that this is the law and not the mere voluntary restraint imposed by the court. This talking of going away from heme to Newport, Sodaville or the mountains to spend the summer is very foolish. In tbe first place the summer does not belong t0 you, sad you have no right to spend any thing that is not your own, and in the next place it would bankrupt yon if you did own it. Hadj Mahammed, the giant Arab wbe sup ports the huge pyramid of elsvsn men in Cole's circus, has heard of ths prowess of Sullivsn ths stagger, and ths dsiert born athlete says that he will agree to knock the famous pugilist into the arms of Abraham. or else he will sacrifice his own head te Allah the (treat.

Sunday nigk tone of our oitixens was ar rested by a night watch for disturbing tbe pesos. He plead not guilty, and was tried Moodsy before a jury, wbeo he was duly discharged. Tbe testimony went to show that he was joking with a friend and doing some laughing, but no one was found who had I een disturbed. How some people caa get through the world by doing almost nothing, putting on more style than a New York dude and nevor paying their debts, is a mystery to more than a newspaper mas. Such people should never be trusted, and if such a rule were followed, there Would not be quite M muah profligacy among os. A man with about fifty dollars in his pocket book was ia tbe city Saturday. Men day morning net a cent did he have. Ten dollars of it went into the oity Treasury, and most of the rest into the saloons and the clawe of a cyprian.

She passed out over the bar with flying colors, but osj her return from San Francisco with a cargo, she got alightly out of her course in creasing the bar, and in two hours lay on the rocks a total wiock. There was at that time, we belirve, fourteett feet of water on the bar at low tide, but con siderable dredging has been done there with in tbe last few years, and ocean steamers can now enter with safety.

Mondsy morning s whils before seven the Albany express going north ran on tho bridge at the rate of ten or fifteen miles an hour, the engine crossing in safety, but bend ing the rail, so that when tke tender struck it it went through, ami waa followed by the bajrgago oar, smoking car, aad tbe north end of the next oar, the last car remaining on the bridge. Tbe diatenoe into tbo mud and water, there being more of tbe former than of the latter, was about fifteen feet, enough to cause a terrible concussion snd breaking up of things. There were about twenty-five iu the smoking oar snd sevsral in tho next oar, while in tbe baggage car there was only tbe baggage master. The scone presented is said to have boon an intensely exciting one, and it was almost a miracle that so little in jury te life was dons as oven there was. In the smoking osr those hurt wore Mr A B Mcllwsin, of this oity, he having an ankle slightly sprained, he having been oo tbe side of the car that wont to tbo bottom first, but feet going through the window into tbe mad; Rev Mill, of Salem, received a few bruises, aud an Indian snd s squaw, the Indian having a leg broken and receiving other in juries which it was thought would prove fa tal. Tbe squaw was not badly injured. Is the baggage car, Burt Phillips, tbe baggage master, was alone. He was thrown bsad first through tho door into the mud, going in nearly to hut waist, when taken out he was nearly dead, aud it is thought be cannot sur vive the terrible abeck. In tbe ear next to the smoking car, among several others, were Rev M; Irvine and Mrs J A Gross, of this city. Although tbo north end went violent ly to the ground, s pile was driven through the tloor, sod tbo osr wss well jam bed up, iieoe of tho passengers were injured,although it may bo assured that they were complete ly frightened. Tbo conductor was ia tbe laat car counting his tickets when the acci dent occurred, which wss very fortunate fer bim. Six aurgooua from Bales and other assis tance was brought as soon as possible, sad everything was done to help those who had boeo injured, A wrecking train was imme diately telegraphed for and bridge builders were soon at work potting up a temporary structure, so tbst on Wednesday trains were sgain able to pass over tbo rood.

Humphrey 3 .OS BY A P1.AIX CHAP. 0 Dr. Mnrvii' churoli in Portland has been afflicted with twelve kicking mem beta, who have withdrawn bug and bag gage from the pale of that Institution. One thing Is certain a church or any other body of people Is better off with tbe "kickers'' on the outsld'. than ofl the Inside. Dissension ainur.g the members of a church or party Is mm; to work evil, white if It Icon tho outside half the Urns It i like a sheep butting against a train of cam. We congratu late Rev. Marvin and also the kickers, Two men In Marion county killed another rnan In co!d blood. One of them told on the ether fallow, and ac oording to our law he will only be sen tenced to Imprisonment for life, while the other will be hung, notwithstand ing the fact that the former wss as guilty as the latter. When I was a boy the most despised of my compan ions was tbe tell-tale, and to this day among children It Is tbe name way. It may be different among men where life lent stake.but In my mind the man who will assist deliberately In commit ting a murder snd then, to save his own neck, at the cost of his partner In tbe erlroe, go completely back en him and tell the whole tale. Is the worst kind of au apology fur a man the sun can shine on. ' It is au eld say ing that you should nevercroesa bridge until you como to It. Ho It is true that you should not be always borrowing trouble and im agining that everything is going wrong, It will be hard enough when the trouble does come. Those people get along best In life who look on tne bright side of everything, not forgetting though that evil may come, snd wheu it does come they are generally best prepared to meet It. Were a fox to spend its time brooding over the proband ty of its not getting something for breakfast It would bo sure to starve. It is the "up and coming" reynard thaf get the first hen. There will be many who will r jolce tehear that a big mouth can be reduced an Inch by continual whistling- This accounts for the euormus mouths of Salem girls, of whom it Is said that they never whistle. When this idea is fully understood we will probably have whistling bauds Instead of bra's bands, aad then perhaMt hymns and p?aim will be whistled instead of sung. nrrv ca a r.y request we publish below an account of a basket picnic given in Sterling, Ill.,in honor of Mr Brink, (he fsther of Mr Brink of tbe furniture store of this city. There ere quite a number readers of ths DaOfo- rat who came from the same locality t Just fifty years ago, Heseklah Brink seUled on section 22, Sterling township, and wss the first settler of Use town.

Mr Brink, after exploring, in company with Messrs, Andrews and Holland, a pa : ion of Rock river valley, returned to Dixon, whence they had started. In the following year be brought bis family from Indiana to his new claim. Mr Brink married In September, 1828, Miss Matlha Buckhannan,of Ripley coun ty, Indiana. Their children were bra. His wife died in 1839, snd the following year be married Miss Sepbrenls L Griffin, by whom he has had ten children. Sloe of these children are living.

If be had to live nnder Repub lican rule he would want them from Wa terloo and not from Maine, Our sorrea pondsnt went into that section of country In 1867, when tbo foot hills were all cover ed with fir truth, and along tbe creak with pine, maple, elder, etc., bnt now thyare in grain or grass, with herds of cattle and horses crazing on timothy, or chard or native grass, where the stag, panther and bruin had their lairs. The industry of ber citizens is bringing the foot-hills into cultivation, and a great riety of husbandry is observed, ing of grains, sad fruits of all kinds, ex cept peaches, so that it can almost be said thst the people of Hamilton Creek dwell under their own vines and fag trees. Among tho enterprising firmsrs of ths neighborhood mentioned by our corre spondent, are Mr F Bellinger, with his thousand of a -re of land, and herds of cattle snd horses grazing on the banks of tbe Hamilton creek, in which the festive trout snsps at the hook of tbe Lebanon sport ; Jaoph S tltm irsh, wh i i a ra !er tbe eld Joe Hard as an (arm now being owned by Salt marsh A Reynolds, the old ftbln and log barns ot '52 bain; about i m down, now replaced by a fine whits bouse, with bay windows ,sni large frame barns.
