As the number of marriages was 150 the per centage of divorce to marriages wu 4, an uncommonly good record, m the aver age in the history of the county has been about 6 per cent. The records show this to be ahead of most Eastern counties and far ahesd of the cities. ktli Carrie Meyer. Carrie L. Mever, daughter of Conrad Meyer.died in this city on last Friday even ing.after a lingering illness of several weeks, at the age of seven years. Funeral services took place on Saturday at the residence of Mr. Meyer. Carrie was a bright, affection ate little girl, loved by all her playmates. Hbc had been attending the public schools and was a member of the U. P. Sabbath chool. Only those who have had experi ence know what it is to lose the presence of a bright little face and active hands in one's household. A Bt SsmII Metier. A great injustice to immigrants passing through Portland is the regulation requir ing baggage to be transferred to Portland and then back again, the immigrant paying the d ravage hath ways. There is no neces sity for it, and naturally enough it makes Immigrants feel as if they were being swindled. Several have made complaint here. The attention of the State Board of Immigration is called to the matter. Death mt Mrs MeisMaw. Mrs. Alice Hoult Belshaw, of Eugene died at her home in Eugene but Sunday after a short illness. She had been married only a short time over a year to Frank Belshaw. Mrs. Belshaw was a daughter of Hon. Enoch Hoult, of Harrisburg, and a young woman of pure and noble bearing. She leavM a son only a few weeks old, a husband, parents, brothers, sisters tad pany relatives to mourn her untimely death. A Telg After Marshal Hayes was sworn in on last Monday evening he was formally pre. sen ted by George Humphrey, In behalf of friends, with a Targe cane, a genuine candy affair, made by Hoffman & Joseph. The scene was a touching as well as sweet one And will be remembered long after the cane is mon est. A Saslce Mesala An, interesting reminiscence is the snake Story told about Wards Butte, in this coun ty. According to it Mr. Ward, after whom the Butte was named, kept track of the rattle snakes killed on it for several years, and the total figures were fourteen hundred. A general snake hunt one day resulted in the death of eighty. Now one is rarely seen, no doubt due to the vigorous war made against them. Teacher's Whs raised.

Albany has several glass ball shooters equal, the Man About Town believes, to any la Oregon. They should get up team to ga to the annual tournament to be hctd at Portland durinff the summer. We believe Messrs. Sloan. Dune, and Wat Monteith and Hendrtcson Mould make team which would do credit to our city and nerhans earn off the tronhv. Let them a a r w wade m Ms. , 0 . The M. A. T. Mas played at a new game called Ooklnoleon several occasions. He considers It the most interesting parlor pastime of the day. It consists of a board about three feet In diameter, with a ditch around the outer edge, a hole In the center, three different valued circles and some rub ber posts. The trick is to snap twenty-four discs, (twelve on a side) over the smooth surface. Into the center, and to knock your opponent's men into the ditch. It takes skill to play It well, the beginner naturally enough having many aggravating encoun ters with posts, ditches, and discs. O What joy supreme fills one when at the awful hour of midnight just as an old year blends into a new year one is awakened from sleep by the rapidly rattling ringing of the fire and church bells, as If announc ing the burning of the mountains or a ten by twelve shed. The M. A. T. would give his best hat to have the brush and easel of a rarnauus or a n est oor artist witn which to paint the awful look that mocked the midnight darkness from the couches of several of our dtieens at one second past twelve on last Friday morning. O Ripe strawberries and blackberries, sec ond growth apples, etc.. have lately been exhibited to show off our mild winter weather, but the M. A. T. can beat etorlee in reference to them. Last Friday twelve chickens were hatched from twelve eggs lain in a nsst esposed to the full strength of the atmosphere, east not to the rain, at the home of the Man About Town. They are doing well for winter chickens. Mew Wears. It will be useful as an item for future reference to remark that Jan. 1st, 1886, was a cool, pleasant day, suitable for such a hoi idav, and that up to date there has been no snow on the ground in this part of the val ley, though on an occasion several water soaked Sashes were seen In the air. On New Years eve the Albany Brass Band gave a ball at Crawford's Hall, pro nounced an enjoyable affair. Besides the above there were numerous watch parties on a small scale. On New Years day a very few calls were made, and only a very few. This practice is not catching in Albany. A supper and social given by the ladies of the Congrega tional Church was an enjoyable affair. A glass ball match near this city between P. B. Monteith, Watt. Monteith, Burr Sloan, W. B. Barr and W. H. Miller resulted In Burr Sloan carrying off the honors, hss score being 39 balls broken and 1 missed. D. B. Monteith broke 27 out of 32 shots, Watt Monteith 25 out of 29, W. B.

Though they keep it up you never hear of their drawing anything. Probably it Is the grandest swindle on record. Often a report is made that some lone, solitary man has drawn $i5,ooo,but it is only a bait. He sets paid for the use of his name. Most men who will throw their money away on lottery tickets would apt know what to do with a big prize even if they got one. It b a straightforward business course In life that brings prosperity. There is only one paper in Oregon that will advertise the Louisiana swindle, a Southern Oregon paper, yet the pay is a third more than can be gotten from home merchants. The following is a brief sketch of a re markable woman who recently died at In. dependence, Va. The deceased was a rela tive of Mr. John Bryant, of Jourdan Valley Gincy Osborn, wife of Zacharia Osborn, was born Jan. 22nd, 1809, and died Dec. nth, 1885 was 76 years, i0 month and 20 days old. She was married to Zacharia Osborn in March, 1825 ; she wm the moth er of fifteen children, all of whom were raised and became heads of families. But four of them have died leaving Urge fam ilies ; eleven are yet living and all were present at her burial. She has now living 82 grand-children, 69 great-grand-chlldren, and two great-great-grand-children. Rhe joined the Methodist church in early life she and her husband at Mt. Pleasant on Briddle Creek, Grayson county, Va., where she spent her life, nearly 60 years, in the church, and has lived these years a consis- tant christian life. Cars! of Thanks. In a time of sad bereavement it Is consol ing to know that so many heaits are moved by a spirit ot loving kindness. During the long period of the sickness of our loved daughter, Carrie, many hearts were moved to come forward to assist in watching and caring for her, and we now take this public way of offering these friend and neighbors our sincerest thanks for their kindness and assistance.

Many circumstances and substantial omens indicate a prosperous year In Oregon. Though wheat may not be over 60 cents the harvest will probably be big. Wheat at that price pays here. I m migrants will pour Into our state, some to remain, others to seek farther. Oregon's advancement is bound to be gradual but certain. As soon as manufacturing inter ests get a foothold here, there will be a greater magnet to bring people Into our in comparable climate. In Albany we expect something, though we want no boom. They are dangerous. If the Willamette Valley and Cascade R.

It takes more than the mere advent of a railroad to make a city. Several new buildings are contemplated here during the summer and other improve ments spoken of.

Twenty pages of matter of Interest to the people of this great North west speaks for Itself a volume for ten cents. We do not like the Oregonian s nar row course hi many instances, nor Its whole sale style of dubbing its contemporaries scrub journals, nor many other traits pecu liar to its great "onlyonelness," but for this country it is business in the matter of news, snd that Is whst the people went.

Albany is now under the management oi Its new city officers, the old going out, the new coming in on last Monday evening. The new Council began business with May or J. K. Weatherford tn the chair, Mr. Isaac Hays, hold of the club, Mr. N. J. Henton in charge of the pen, S. Si ten bach ot the money pouch, (empty) and D. R. N. Blackburn, W, S. Peters, C. Q. Rldeout, L. C. Marshall, "alius Oradwohl and Alex Cunningham as Legislators. Mayor JCetchum before retiring made hla final report, In which he accounted for the Indebtedness of the city by the new charter allowing the Indebtedness to be taken out in assessment, the great expense of rebuilding and repairing crosswalks, which he suggest ed be four instead of six feet, also the exten sion of the Broadalbin sewer. The retiring Mayor paid a just compliment to the effi ciency of our fire department. The new Mayor, J. K. Weatherford, In taking his seat spoke as follows 1 (JontlomoH 9 the ComtuM t The power and authority given to the municipal corporation of this city is vested in the Mayor and Council. They are the representatives of the city In Its corporate capacity and within the provisions of the 1 barter and general law of the State can. and It Is their duty to make such laws and regulations as will best subserve the Inter est of the people. liter c is no wsy that I can suggest by which we can better serve the public than by a strict observance of the fundamental principles underlying our local governments by enacting such laws as may be necessary for the quiet and good order of the city, and by a judicious management of the public tunas. I do not think of sny thing that Is of such vital importance as to require special atten tion st your hands at the present time. You win perhaps he called upon to act upon many matters affecting the welfare of the city during the year. I have no doubt but what you will give to all subjects that may arise a careful examination and will act upon them as prudence and good judgment may dictate. You wilt no doubt be called upon to give more time and attention to the subject of city finance than any other that may come before you during the ensuing veer. I would ausrsrest that such e noticv be adopted as wilt with the means we have at our command pay off any outstanding indebtedness that there mav be, and if pos sible in the future keep within the resources of the city. To do so it will be necessary to he economical tn expenditure whenever it can be done without injury to the publk health or endangering the good order of so ciety or the security of person or property. A policy of economy should be adopted, but one not dwarfed or stinted by parsimonious- ness, hut just and equitable to all interests. such public improvements should be made as wilt advance the general welfare of the city, keeping in view at all time the fact that the fund at the disposal of the Council are limited and that it is beet to MEJMsr eeQSjKvMsjKsQMMNsS All of our dtiaena feel a just pride In our Are department for it proficiency. It is prudence and wisdom on the part of the city to pursue the wise course adopted In the past and give such encouragement as justice would dictate to the volunteer fire men of the city in their efforts to make the department stronger, and If possible more proficient. Their tabors in the past and their manifest willingness at all times to do their whole duty Is deserving of the greatest I shall, eentlemen of the Council, to the beat of my ability perform the dute devol-1 i.
