Ou last Friday evening the family of Mr Joa Wiles, living on the west aide of the Willamette between thla city and Corval lls, were, with the exception of a sou, at the State Fair, About duak a tramp la aid to have flora along and wanted to know of the boy if he conld sleep In the barn. Obtaining bis oonnent he went to bed there. In the midd'e of the night young Wiles was awakened by a crack ling sound in the direction of the barn, wbioh he found to be In flames. Rushing out he succeeded in getting a wagon, har ness and horse out ; but the remainder of the pioperty atoreel there and the barn, were entirely burned, A thresher, head er, wagon, other machinery and toola,and line hay were consumed, making the t )lal less a large one for aucb a fire. The building and contents were insured in the lata Insurance) Co., of Salem for 12100 one-third off, The opinion of course, hi that the tramp did it. Nothing was seen of him after the Are. No doubt he took a hasty departure as is a custom of tramps on such occasions.

A Scheal Tearttrrs Case. A very interesting case was tried before George Humphrey, J. P., at the Court House last Saturday. Prof. Jewitt was plaintiff and the Shedd School District de fendant. About two years ago Prof Jewitt was hired by the above District,snd taught successfully for a year. Last fall be was again hired and taught the winter term. When the time for the spring term came another teacher was hired. Prof Jewitt claimed that he was hired for a year and hence claimed pry for the three months spring term at $75 per month, during that time be being unable to get another school' On the trial the principal question was that of the length of the contract, the question of the satisfaction given being also introduced, it being claimed by one director that the plaintiff was only hired so long as he gave satisfaction. After bearing the testimony pro and con Juatico Humphrey rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $225. Oaeatag or Albany varra Mease. This great event will occur on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights of next week. Everybody in Albany is expected to be pres ent, and assist in celebrating the event by witnessing the rendition of the drama. "The Hidden Hand" and a grand concert by the Albany Choral Society.

Postmaster Irvine last week received a lot of uew 10 cent delivery stamps, which can now lie bought of him. They are as Immense as a 1 7-)xlS-16 Inch stiff piece of well printed paper oan be. They wi 1 go to any place in Oregon and Washington Territory with over 1000 population, to- wlt: Portland. There are other largtr places, on psper, but the government for got them. Tli y wont go to any other of fice, and they are N. G., without the regu lar postage beside them. Here is a par tial description of the little thing. Color, blue. On top words, "Special Postal De livery." On an arched panel la a figure of a messenger ooy going like 'biases," which meana about a mile an hour, as fast as a mud turtle, Then there la a wreath of oak and laurel.

About 1 1 :20 Tuesday night the tire bell in this city rng the first shram for several month. The cause of it was the burning of ahed on the corner of Ferry and Ninth Streets. How it was set tire would be osslsss to speculate. It was laid promissoously to tramp, boys. etc. IVobal.lv the tin-men rniarie the quickest time ever made to a long distance fire in this city, doe to the bright ness of the night and the good condition of the street. In such s short time were No. I'm on hand that, as dry as the building was, the flames were stopped before all the spiders in it wcie completely roasted. That com pany may come oat third at a tournament ; but for a rough and tumble race to a fire they are righiu the front. Damage, about $0. No insurance. One of the moat difficult tasks that falls to the lot of a newspaper man, is that of writ ing up a sumptuous dinner. This is partic ularly so when he attempts it immediately after ho has arisen from well filled tables. He feels at the time that ho woubl like to fill columns in eulogy of the host, his repast and everything about it. He even scratches his head for biological sketches of all oou oernsd. His wholo soul rushes to the task. His good nature expands and his heart Mils with love for the world in general. A full man i a satisfied man. This is introduotoiy to somo remark ws proposs to make on a farewell dinner given by Mr and Mrs Welder, of the Revere House last Wednesday noon, that being their la t day, as proprietors of that very popular hotel. We feel our in ability to do it justice, for Mr and Mrs F. have conducted the llevero House so long and obtained such a wide spread reputation in the cuisine art that we are unable to in vent anything new for the oooaeien, and think thoy deserve something more than the stereotyped paragraphs, lies idea the large number of regular guests of the hotel were several of the editors and their wives of this city, Mr S S Train and wife, of the Hrralti ; Mr O T Porter, wife and daughter, of the Unlit tin and the humble scribe and wife, of the Democrat ; all tit subjects tor a large vliuner. Uungry from continued repasts on broken promises, false hopes and mdigoeti ble "pi" generally they walked up to the heavily laden tables with stout hearts, and when the polite and accomplished wsitera yelled in their ears : soup, roast turkey, fried chicken, roast beef, pork steak, mutton ohop, sweet and Irish potatoes, peas, corn, frizzled cabbage, tea, 00 (Tee ; mince, lemon, black berry, apple or pumpkin pie, rice, custard, grapes, etcetera, etcetera, they unanimously and in chorus cried, "If you please." Tbey got all they could control and more too of as Koely a cooked dinner as it is ever the lot of even an hpicuro to set down to ; so that when they arose it was as the moat satisfied crowd that ever partook of s free dinner. We know we speak the sentiments of all, as will be evidenced by ours and the oolumus of our contemporaries. All regret seeing Mr and Mrs F. retire from the Revere House ; yet there is much satisfaction in knowing that they are socced 1 ed by those so capable of keeping up the spleodtd reputation of the hotel, and that tbey will remain for at least toe present in our city. This is considerable to aay about a dinner, a common affair each day of the year, but it is ne more than this perticulai occasion deserves. Mry leasts ssd MsMssMt lam now receiying my Fall stock of dry goods and notions, and will be better prepar ed to give good value for tho mooey than ever before. My stock of dress goods will be large and will include all the novelties in imported plaids, tncot. etc., etc., as well as domestic dress goods. These domestic dress foods look nearly as well as imported, and cost much less. Goods of all descriptions are cheaper this fall. I have marked my old stock to correspond with the new goods in price, and I am determined to sell my goods as low as any house can sell, either for cash or pro-luce. I keep nothing but stand ard goods, and will guarantee anything I sell Parties who live st so great a distance from Albany as not to trade regularly, I kuo- will Tea Mart Aaperstu: a No one believes in ghosts ; yet there is a good house in this city, in a splendid locality. which remans empty at a time when houses fini ' to the,r advantage to come to bead are scarce and can hardly be found : because quarters for their fall stock. I have the stock two or three years ago a ridiculous ghost ot fds sad will sell them. Samples of d story was started about it.

"Oh. yes, it is a good house, but. then, did Samckx K. Yorso. yon ever hear about that ghost seen in it,'' and all the time the v don't believe it. not a w are frond of It bit of it.

Financially the State fair has beea a greator etiooets than for several years,ami aa far as somo of the exhibits aro oouoem od the Maine may bs said. So apparent, though, has It become that neatly every thing la managed for Salem's good that poo pi throughout the Slate tun getting pretty thoroughly disgusted, uo matter how many may attend. There woubl be a fair attendance If there wereoniy a grind stone, a imtley cow, a aUlk nf whoal and a mil race an attractions-, an long as it were called Htate Fair. Practically to mil what la really only a Marion county fair estate Fair In a faroo of tho first niagtil tude. Most of the committees aro Marlon county men, moat of the exhibits are Marion county's and vory few aro the priaea awarded to parties outalde of that county, at least, whin of muah iiripor tanoe, A striking case of the one-atdod way matters were run was exhibited In tho contest between lannlng mill cleaners. Thero were two entries, one by Heat A Altbouso of this olty, and the other by a Salem man. Two of tho committee were Malem men, the other an outside man. The Best cleaner, which recently took the first promltim In tho California Stale fair at Sacraiiiotito,overHlx competitors, though a smaller machine, did ita work one- fourth quicker, and so much better tfcat the large number who saw It were nut versatly struok by the superiority. Its work was almost perfect, while the other's was dofeotl ve. Yet the two Marlon count)' members of (he committee put tho blue ribbon on their county 'e cleaner, The large number who saw the contest were so disgusted that many of them, Including the third committee men, expostulsted with the two members of the committee, Ono man, a sensible Marlon couuty gen tleman too, bought the fleet oleaner on tho -1 t , though he had ono of the others, and said he would throw that one away. The Injustice or the award was mo bare Csoed that it was generally commented on by all who saw the contest. It Is such Infamous ono-MidednoAM as this that has emptied Machinery Hall. These blue ribbons on Salem exhibits, almost gener ally where they contest; for them, ban driven away exhibitors from caber parts of the State. It Is a groat wrong that money ahould lx appronr!.;:. 1 I v thn Htate for keeping up a mere county fair, yet that is what has been done, It would favor too much of a desire merely to "pick" at the business wore we to repeat the Mtoriea of extortion reported, tho universal desire seeming to be to"turn a penny," however disreputable the man nor might be. We are not using this lau guago nor stating the above case out of aplte ; but because the fact that the fair la used "all for Salem" has become so noticeable that It la universally remarked at ail over the State. If we aro to have a State fair let us have one that is run for the benefit of all part of Oregon atlko,one that will be a credit to lb State and not a county affair, Thla can never be done until tho public knows it oan stand an even show with county exhibitors. Of tho prize awarded about 335 were given to Marlon county pooplo. This waa considerably more than half. Those from this county who obtained prizes were W T Harrows, Shedd, 2ml premium, brood mare and colt.
