The advent of ao largo a number of Iowa editor into Albany did not effect our local markets, and even real eatate remained stationary. The rxpectation of a tremen doua riae in the pti.e of beer waa not realit a I. and chickens ami potatoes are quoted the aame as last week. Wheat seems to be drop ping, being in the 75 notch in Portland aud about 63 here, It is hard te rely on Portland quotations though. For instance wool is quoted there at 1- t 14c, while here the tigurea have been IS to IV. which we are anable to appreciate. New peaches are sold for 10c per pound, lemons retail at .10c per dosen and oranges 25 to 50c. Beats and turnips are sold in bunohes. Ked and black raspberries are in asu-ir "inching" glory, three boxes for a quarter. Cabbages appear with moderate sized heeds and immense leaves, and peas are plenty at 4 cents per pound. The price of the Dkmik rat is $2 50 and money, wood or produce will be taken in payment. Reuse mt the Neleel war. Among tbe Iowa excursionists here waa Hon Lafe Young, of Atlantic City, Mr. Young learned tbe art preservative under the Wmented Oea. M. V.

One day last week Miller waa mere tbsn commonly demonstrative and was going to demolish tbe whole crowd, when Jiss Coleman, well known in Al bany, now an inmate of tbe bouse, and a man of powerful build, having in his earlier dsys been a prize fighter, took tbe matter in his own bands and with a club drove the belligerent Miller a mile or two from the poor farm and he has not since been beard from. There is general re joicing there over the result. Black silk oostamc am very popular. Iowa girls, judging from the samples, can not touch Oregon ladies in the matter of atyle and beauty. Chenille fringes sre the favored trimmings fer summer wrap. In Corvallix, though, cold lead is becom ing very popuUr. The Spanish jacket is stylish for little girls. For little boys nothing will do during the green apple period so well as a heavy ahiugle, which is always sore to lit. A blsck fabric, in popular use, is called ring cloth. It is so line and elastic that the entire width of the g-ods can le drawn through a finger im,' Ifapphel to tho enormous riug f Sa lem girls this is easily believed. In Iowa,au editor from that state tells us. it is fashionable for a nun to always call for either hard or soft oiJer.when he cither gets whisky or beer. Muslins and lawns sre trimmed wiih vel vet coilsrs, cult and bows, and look line. Bonnets are high iu front and piuohcd iu as closely at the sides as the heed will permit. Sheep should feel proud this summer as Shepherdess' hsts are quite a favorite with their rolling brims aud high peaked crowns. Bah. Yellow is fashionable with white, parties. lsrly with dyspeptics. White aad yery light toilets indicate die tiuction, refinement, cultivationvetc, etc., so say sll the fashion journals. i 1 i e ' i fcssallss; Is Casaus. Nr. Mltehell. Last Monday John II Mitchell paed through Albuiy on bit way to Portland, which he purposes to make his future home. Several of his admirers here re ceived him at the depot with the Mechao -ice' Band, much to the Senatorial aspirants surprise, who was traveling unostenta tiously, so much so that a friend who rode in the same car with him from Eugene was not aware that he was on tbe train. Mon day was Mr. M's 50th birthday ; but be does not look to be of thst age. Being beaten tor office does not have much ef fect on his appearance, and this is well , for he may rely upon much future disap pointment if he expects preferment in Oregon. He has friends, but more enemies. About two weeks ago Canada was the scene of a very exciting affair which great ly disturbed the social pot, and aa well was tbe means of atelocsly burning con siderable powder. As narrated to s Dkmo c rat man, a young man about nineteen years cf age, of uncertain reputation, was suspected of being too Intimate with a neighbors wile. Tbe buxband laid a trap lor him and claims to have caught them in flagrante delicto. The next day be presented a shot gun at they m's head and demanded satisfaction for which he said f 50, a watch and cow would do. The y m denied the accusations ; but, after an In formal trial, without any officers, agreed te pay $57.50, a watch and cow, and all the parties agreed to leave tbe country. Instead of doing so, though, on tbe fol lowing day the y m and his brother at. tacked the husband with revolvers; but he "stood them off" with bis shot gun, ao one being hurt, although lour shots hit one of theboy s.and on anotberoccasion tbe husband is said to have been the aggros" nive party. Hew the matter will terminate cannot be teld now. TMR 4tk IN AMI 41 . Ono week from to-morrow, will be the fourth of July, America's great day, and this year Albany's.
