Co, Albany, June 18th, 1SS'. Aaiaoaeti Local Importance. Sunday morning U was reported that tho city of Londou was blown up by dy namiters ; but a short time softened tho matter and mads it tho houses of pari la ment, with the London tower and West' minister Abbey, together with a large loss of life. So great was the talk over it that the affair soon assumed ths impor tance of local matters, Monday's mail brought the news in a more correct form, and then it was learned that, although there had been three explosions around the building mentioned, and the damage done was considerable, yet it was only a safe explosion to the first report. The only i loss of life was that of two policemen. The buildings were well shaken up, windows knocked out, roofe torn off, but the walleJ remained intact. It will though take months to repair the damage done. So much for the rumble heard, risk Tes Party.

Tho case proved worse than at first feared, the limbs of both Jones an 1 Church beiag so badly frozen that last weak it became necessary to amputate both of the feet of each of the gentlemen, The operations wore success fully performed by Drs Reynold and J N Smith of Salem, and Dr McCauley of Stayton. Great sympathy is expressed for ths two men. Why There.

Crawford the Supreme Court auatained tho decision of Judge Boiae, declaring the Mortg- j age tax law constitutional. 1 ho opinion, an able one, was delivered by Judge VValdo,and practically settles tho question. Us states that "equalityl in the rate of aosotsumeut means nrnnortionate valuation, relative, not absolute, equality -while couality in the rate of taxation mosns that the percentage shall be the same, or absolutely equal. The result is relative equality of taxation. If the rate of assosamont aud taxation bo equal, it J J Ml I . . II...

Caere Allratfaare "X," in the Democrat last week, opea ed the eyes of many to the fact that church attendance Is shamefully small Sunday evenings. What can bo done te make it larger? Mure than a year age union ser vices were begun te see if in that way peo ple could not be induced to eo to church. It worked well for a time. For several months the attendance Sunday evenings was increased. But the novelty wore off to each a degree that the largest Sunday evening attendance at tho union services during the last six months was less than 375, and since the storm it bss not been over 275, The unisn services has been given up. What tho result will be re mains to be seen. The attendance last Sunday evening was encouraging, but it was a moonlight niht and special attrac tion at one er two chu robes. The atten dance last Sunday evening was larger by about 100 persons than at any Sunday evening in six months. For one, I wish te return thanks to "X" for his calling the attention of tho people to this matter. Now lot some other broth er speak. With tho aggregate member, ship of the Albany churches as large aa it is, the Sunday evening congregations ought to be not less than seven or eight hundred. How shall they be made eo? That is the question. Whose fault is it? That ef the ministers or that of the peo ple ? y. A Cised Joke. It is impossible for a newapeper to keep a good joke, and certainly is sgainat our aa tore, so bore goes, regardless of conseqaeacos. Several small aad mischievous boys ia ene of the deportments of one of oir ech d got in the habit of rnahisg up to a eertata bouse. ringing the bell and slipping off liR sly cats. ' Their teacher, a Udy, became eogaiztntof their pranks, and, as well obtained the nam o of the offenders. Calliag them ttgther abo gave them a moat exemplary lecture, and afterwards marched with all ths young of fenders to the souse of their victim, where ahe proposed they should make dua apolo gies. The teacher rang the bell, when, to her astonishment she waa met with a full basin of water square in the face, complete ly taking her breath away for a moment. The good lady of the house bad only caught a glimpse of some of the urchias, sad sup peeing they wore at their tricks again, though t it best te give them a lessen they would so I soon forget. Apologies mutual. If i teaches the boys a lesson the incident will prove a most fortunate oae. t'awarsrtlag Tho following from s New York paper casts aside all fear of competition in the wheat trade by India : "The report o! the American consul at Calcutta ought to be reassuring to wheat-growers in this coun try. The wheat crop in India for 1&S4 is 216,000,000 bnshels, raised on 26,000,000 acres of land, or nine and two-fifths bush els to the acre. The United States average last year was thirteen bushels. The Delhi price is 80 cents per bushel ; cost of trans portation from Delhi to Calcutta, IV cents ; cost from Chicago to New York, about 15 cents, and New York Is ba.f tho distance from European markets that Cal cutta is. If wheat can be raised and sold in Chloago at 80 cents per bushel, there caa be no competition by Bast India growers." An Experienced Loiter. An exchange says : "Mr CB Foots, of Pemsroy, mailed a letter October 30, 1S83, addressed to s business firm in Portland, Oregon. Last Msnday (January 12, 18Sb) the letter was returned to him from the dead letter office, bearing the following postmarks: Honolulu, H. I. ; West Maitland, N. 8. W twice; Sydney , N, 8. W., three times ; San Francisco, Gel j Portland, Or. ; Seattle, W. T and Wash ington, D. C, It had been twice adver tised, and a philanthropic individual, ons Hayselden, In King Kalakaua's domin ions, had kindly affixed a 12 cent Hawai ian postage stamp. Tho letter bore the address of Foote A Hull in plain print on the envelope, but was not returned until after it had wandered 25,000 miles." . Ciaeaslnx the Member of Beaes. Several months ago Read A Brownell of fered a prize ef $5 to the customer purchas ing 25c, worth of tobacco who should guess the nearest to the number of beans in a large glass jar. A large number put their names down, many of them going to the trouble of counting beans of the same sis? in a like sized jar. The guesses ranged al 1 the way from 1320 to 65,000. On m iking a count a short time ago 14303 was found to bs the number. Fred Burkhart's figures were 14, -300, which, being the nearest, entitled him to the prize. It waa an interesting fact that many who took the most pains to ascertain the correct number were the farthest out of the way. It is reported that a gambling resort has been opened out on Broadalbin street where boys congregate night after night. Parents look out for your boys. No such places should be tolerated.

Ed Broyse, who only retired from a residence in tbe penitentiary a short time ago on account of stealing a horse in this county, evidently likes Salem as a resi dence, as the following from tbe "West Side"indicates tint he is conducting him self in a manner to merit another sojourn in the State penitentiary: Last week a worthless bilk: played it ft ns on Prof Garrigus, and after trying to get in on several others, left for parts unknown. He contracted a board bill ef $8.00 at the Revere House, and on leaving gave an order on Dave D ivali for that arnsunt As there was nothing due him from Mr Duvall, payment was refussd on tbe order and the Professor i out $3.00. The day he left, he tried to borrov an overcoat from Tom Daws, and to hire a horse from Al Goodman, but both were suspicious and refused to aosomodate him. It has since been learned that he is an ex-convict, having just completed a two years term in the penitentiary for horse -stealing. He gave his name as E. Broyse, is a heavy set man of about 35 years, with sandy bairand mustache, and has an en larged cheek. Look oat for him. HOUR AMD ABROAD, Wheat is 54 cents. K M French, jeweler.

A three thousand dollar lire occurred in Portland on lost Monday night. One of the buildings burned was built in 1858, and was immortalized by Col Baker having made speeches in it.

All of the property belonging to Mr John Foster, sold at Sheriff's sale lost Saturday, was bought in by Mr S E Young for about $4,000. It consisted of two houses and lots, the bloek recently occupied by Hoffman ck Joeeph, in this city, and a farm occupied by Mr Foster, near Harrisburg.

Persons wishing surveyieig done will plsase address me at Miller's, Linn county, Oregon. All of the wheat in the Peoria warehouse has been sold, and nearly all in the Halsey warehouse, 55 cents was paid last week. This increase waa due, we understand, to the fact that several vessels were waiting in Portland to be loaded and it was necessary to hurry the flow of wheat thence. A rise of cent or two did it. Appropriations by the Stats legislature of P worth ef stamps for reporters of news papers, is a proceeding decidedly of the "small potato" order, and aa ridiculous as it Is small. Why they did net vote them board and washing is a query. It would have been as sensible, It is te be hoped Oregon will sometime get above such foolishness. The Salom Stnlmmnn soya ; "Motsr.
