MKMtLY PUtW.XM. On Friday morning of last week between six and seven o'clock just as the steamer "Occident" was leaving the Simpson wharf ts go to Corvallis Mr. Ash by Pearce had hi ferryman Mr. Kaiaey row him to the stearrsr which he intended to board in order to go to the above city. Tke steamer was backing up when they reached its bow. The motion of the steamer caused them to be throwu against it.and the small skiff was capaised instanMy, throwing them h.te the river. Mr Rsiney bung to the boat and floated down stream, bnt Mr Pearce was left hopelessly alone, al most under the very bow of the steamer. A rope was thrown him from the steamer, which he managed to grasp, an) was soon after taken out of the water. A to his ex perience before this there is some dispute, a gentleman who wis on the wharf at the time being of the opinion that he sank twice, wh Is Mr Pearce, who was present as much aa a parson could be, says he did not get the col lar of his coat wet. Anyway this is an itu materia question. The call was s close one. to say the least Mr Itainey was picked np by the steamer nearly opposite the Had Crown Mills in a shivering but sensible con dition. Both men suffered almost no incon venience afterwards from it. 0m the l p trade Albany has already for the year 1883 taken a start upward. The certainty of a new school house has given the impetus to it. We need not look for a big boom ; we do not want one, they are dangerous ; bnt we may henceforth look for a steady, reliable growth. This we want, for it is almost s are insurance against the cyclone reactions so common during the past few years, and it means business. The advent of so many tourists in Oregon daring 18S3 and 1884 proved a good advertisement for this city. No place in the State left a better impression oa the minds of those who visited it. This has its great significance. A necessary thing now is enterprise. This we have here to a limited extent, bat it is among those who lack the capital to do much. Now, though, several are becoming more than commonly enthnsed, and as a starter a good opera house may be looked for the coming sum mer, not merely en paper, baton the ground This we hope to see followed by other enter prises. Now is s golden time to act. Why not cast off same of these old cob webs of lethargy and get enthusiastic for once ? Shall we ? Star Barglatlzt-S al Millers. Considerable excitement was occasioned st Miller's Station en last Tuesdsy morning by the discovery that during the previous nigh the store of Mr. Henry Newman had been burglarized, about two hundred dollars wertn ot goods bsing found missing, among other things ten or fifteen pair of boots, ten or fifteen pair of ladies shoes, ten pairs of fine Brownsville pants, tee pounds of tobacco and all of the hose in the store. The glass in tbe front window was broken out, which showed how an entrance wss made. In the field near the store aa old pair of boots was found together with an old knit jaeket, and tracks which would indicate that there were either two or three parties concerned in the lobbery. Without a wagon it woaid have taken at least three to carry the goods. Although Mr Newman lives but about one Hundred teet from tne store no noise was heard. Suspicion attaches to various parties of bad repute, but the guilty ones have not yet been captured. Any information which will lead to their capture will be gladly re ceiyedby the people of Miller's Station, all of whom are interested in seeing the guiity brought to justice e Weather.

The social given en last Friday evening by the ladiea of the UP Church at tbe elegant residence of Mrs Walter Moateith was a very successful as well as enjoyable aflair, the large parlors being filled with people of all ages, sex and sects. Beside the usual amount of conversation, the real social part of such entertainments' gsmes were played, a well gotten up re past was served and an interesting pro grams rendered. Tbe .'alter constated of a couple of quartets by Messrs O M Irvine, Mack Mootelth, Will Portosilier and Chaa Brush, select readings by Misses Ina Rob ertson and Ollle Klrkpatrick, a duet by Mrs Geo E Chamberlain and Miss We!cb( and a solo by Mrs E W Langden, each deserving special commendation. After adjournment of tbe social the pro gram was continued by the members of the qaartet In the torn of several sere nades, one of which was for our benefit, for which we make our humblest bow. Music sounds well in tbe parlor, bat let tbe strong melodius voices of a male quartet, near ones window, at tbe awful hour of midnight, sound on a crisp north wind, hallowed by a cloudless firmament, just as one begins to fall into dreamland, and you have music that thrills and fills ones being with pleasure. This was the case on ibis occasion, Tbe last song par ticularly, which ended ''Farewell, farewell, my own dear love," was greatly appreciat ed. Skating arslval A mask skate was given at tbe rink oa last Friday aight, which was well attended, and proved an enjoyable affair. Following is a list of tke maskers, with the characters they represented : I - w Maggie Breen, Goddess of Liberty. Linnie Young, Red Riding flood. LilUeGill. Topsy. Nettie Porter, Beggar Girl.

Win Daniels, Gentleman. The prize for tbe best sustained ladiea' character was presented to Fred Wbittier, for best sustained gentleman's character to A M Young. A Celestial Weaneled. About ten days ago a Celestial, called John, boarding at tbe Qwong Mow House, and st the time werking near this city, cut his left hand quite severely with an ax. Instead of going to a surgeon, as the nature of the wound demanded, he nut an orange peeling around bis wrist and trusted to that superstitious charm for a cure. The wound grew worse, filling with prond flesh, until hut Monday Dr. Ellis was called. The Doctor dressed the wound, but it is thought blood poisoning will set in, when to all prob ability the hand will have to be amputated, and it may result in the death of the China On fhe Other Pool. Seme time ago the New Wmrik West and awawssTissoss news, eacnange compliments i . t. . it r r ,j i i i i. PP a" h former from its list.

No, 5, was held on lsst Monday evening, at ths Court House. The attendance wss good. Tho meeting was called to order by Dlree tor Monttith. The annual report of the Directors was read. After a financial state ment, which will be found more fully in the Clerk's report, it stated It lathcepinlon of the Hani that no special tax will be needed for current expenses of ths school during ths tinning year. In reference to the new school building the board have endeavored to carry out the Instructions given at tho mooting called for that purpose. The tax aulhorlxed one year ago, has boon collected In full, aa shewn In tho Clerk's report, Plane ami peoiflcatieiM for the building were drawn by an architect, Mr K Zeyss, and bids for tho con structlon of building were advertised for and revet v od. Tho estimates vary considerably, ranging from 14,600 to 110,760. Tho bids are en flle In tho Clerk's offlce but owing to the Uto date at which tho bide were received tho contract has not rot been oen eluded. And as by recent act of the legislature dlotrlcts are authorised to borrow money, the board recommend that a lax of two mills on tho dollar bo levied during the Incoming year for building purpoeea, whleh with the smount new on hand tho amount tho District may legally borrow; would, they think, be sufficient to build and furnish the school bulldlnr.

Trackers' latlltulr. The Teachers' Institute for the Third Ju dicial District will bs held at LsFayetts, Yamhill county, March 31st sad April tat, 2nd sad 3rd. Ths leading lutes of travel will grant reduced rates to all teachers and others attend iag the institute. The citisens of LaFayette will fnrnish free entertainment during the session sod slao free transporta tion to anu from the depot to tbe city. This promises to be one of the most important educational conventions in the State. The teachers and friends of Linn County are cor. diaily invited to attend. K. B. M Elbot. State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Every teacher in Linn county should, if possible, attend this Institute. It is at the present dsy the greatest medium s e have for advancing the qualification of our teach ers, and they who ere ambitious to excel, bsve net lost in the past, nor will in the f u- ture lose, so opportunity to bo present on the occasion of ooe of these meetings. A bog dissertation is not necessary to establish this fact. e A st. at Episode mt 9 ISSSIUS Report comes to us from C trvalli of very aeasatiooal episode which occurr j 1 m that city last Saturday sr Sundsy. Several men with over doe 'script of tbeO, P., being informed that Mr C C Hogue, paymaster of the road, had been buying up script with tbe company money, at greatly reduced rates, went and laid violent hands on him, took him to a tree, tiod a rope around his neck, end were aboct to da something dee peratc, when Mr Hogue succeeded in making them understand his position. Being satis tied with explanation, they let htm go. It seems that if he bad been buying script at all it was with bis own money, and independent of his connection with tho road. The affair is said to have caused considerable excite ment at tbe time. Ax Handle Factory In Albany. Last Wednesdsy Best k Althouse began operating an ax handle machine at their factory, in this city, which, as it is the only one, we understand, on the coast, will no doubt prove quite an industry. It has a capacity ef twelve to fifteen doze a day, or probably 50,000 s yesr. Tbs employment of three or four men will be required to keep it running. The machine has attracted consid erable attention on account of its ingenius actions Slowly but surely Albany is grow ing into a manufacturing city. SI BSIlll -I. A Beaaarkahle Act. The prcac.iiciliotcut school clerk of Dis trict No. 5, J H Burkhsrt, did quits s re markable thing, considering the times. He collected every cent of the large tax levied, leaving nothing at all delinquent. This has not been accomplished before for a great many years, if ever, and shows Mr Burkhsrt ' peculiar fitness for the position. It was gen erally thought impossible considering the times, and the size of the tax, to collect it within a thousand dollars. A Peculiar Accident. Last Friday Mrs Benson living across the Willamette River on Soap Creek, was filling a bottle with some powder, when, in attempting to push it down to set a little more in. the powder exploded. She w badly burned, but fortunately, not seriously. The accident was a very peculiar one, of a nature not often recorded. 8st,aee.
