The Opera 1 Ioue was packed full on Fri day evening, on the occasion of the enter tainment given to defrar the expenses of the County Institute, the largest number of people ever in the House at one time being present. The program was opened with a well ex ecuted piano solo by Miss Laura Brklgeford, of Scio. Miss Helen Crawford recited the "Witches Daughter" with fine effect. The fact that Miss Crawford's voice was heard with great distinctness all over the Opera House spoke for its force and volume, qual ities several lacked. An instrumental solo by Miss Anna Houck was well executed. Mr. Collins Elkins again wheeled out,"The New Lochinvar," with humorous effect. "Camping on the Old Camp Ground," as sung by little Ethel Peters, was simply beau tiful, and carried away the audience. Ethel has a vcrv sweet alto voice. Miss Birdie Ashby recited "Forward," followed by an instrumental duet by Eva Cown and Mag gie Alderson, both well received. Mr Al fred Huelat, of Harrisburg, recited a rather braad cat story, keeping the audience well agitated with laughter Henry Backensto was heard in a guitar solo, its encore speak ing for the manner in which it was receiv ed. A vocal duct by Misses Eva Cowan and Maggie Alderson was the sweetest part of the entertainment, not excepting the "Awfully Lovely Philosophy." Miss Good win recited the "One Day Solitary," show i ng fine elocutionary gifts, with perhaps a tack of volume in her voice. Miss Emily Huelet, of Salem, recited the "Old Sur gson's Story" in an able manner, speaking for the excellent drill which she has had. Miss Belie Senders was heard in an artis tically rendered piano solo. A drama en titled "Pride Shall Fall," by Prof Walker, Frank C. Stanard and Mr. Gregg, of Brownsville was received with deserved ap plause. A double quartet of Albany vocal -ists rendered a song in an harmonious and taking style. Mis Ina Robertson recited MA Night of Trouble," making the house ring with continued laughter. Miss Rob ertson has few equals as Josiah Allen's wife. A quartet by Messrs. Irvine, Fortmiller, Awbrey and Brush was loudly applauded. Miss Addie Scriber recited the "Awfully Lovely Philosophy" in a delightfully ex quisite manner, completely catching on to the extravagant manner of the molecular, protoplastic, assiduistic, differentiated Bos ton girl. Miss Scriber is too sweet for that Is, we mean, she knows how to make things like Joe Cook and molecules look sacca rine. The Broom Drill was enthusiastic ally received. Mrs Langdon was encored on her vocal solo but did not answer. Prof Walker read some resolutions, thanking our citizens, teachers, lecturers, newspaperese, for various things and the entertainment adjourned. o Craage rirale The committee appointed by the Linn County Council met in Albany on Tuesday and made arrangement for a grand picnic st the picnic ground at Jefferson, on Thurs day, Fridav and Saturday, June iO, 1 1 and 13.

Then, both of those meeting having a firm hold, give three distinct yerks, uttering, in s hissing tone, the wods, "Do Right" The password is, briefly, "un-bv tel-ii-gi-btl-i-ty," to be lettered in full, snd sll the syllables to be pronounced, from the first, at the addition of each successive syl lable, when used for working purposes The grand hailing sign is a flourish of the switch, or cane.

The chair on motion was authorised to appoint a committee on resoultl Ms, The chad appointed Prof W s Walker, Prof Gilbert and Prof Lonsway. J F Stubblefleld presented the subject of "Penmanship" In a most lucid and compre hensive way. The three essentials of ac quiring good penmanship are position, pen holding, and movement. The teacher must Instil a love for the beautiful in teaching writing. Insist all the time upon care In making letters and figures. Penmanship Is too much overlooked In our schools. Mr Sutherland followed upon the same subject adding many new Ideas with refer ence to the method of teaching this Impor tant art Mr Mitchell asked how to prevent pupils from holding the pen so as to cramp the hand. Mr Stubblefleld explained that the Angers of children are weak and that they will naturally hold the pen with a grip. But holding the pen correctly Is a growth nnd It takes time and care. Mr. Gilbert said theachers who know his penmanship will think It strange that he should arise to speak on penmanship, but after all each teacher's success will be deter mined by his own effort. Prof Walker talked about teaching "Ge ography in Connection with Map-drawing." Ills remarks though brief were full of food for thought. Miss Ollie Kirkpatrick, of Albany Public Schools presented the subject of "How to Teach Composition Writing in Primary Schools." The address was full of good suggestions on this Important subject Prof W T VanJcoy presented the subject of "The Young Teachers First Dsy In a Country School." The speaker painted s faithful picture of "The Young Teachers' First Day In School" as It is and what it should be. Prof Walker presented the subject of Physiology and Hygiene" In a very enter, talning and Instructive way. AFTERNOON SESSION. T F Campbell presented the subject of "Grammar." Men are educated In this world to give them force. When there is no power there it no force, when there is no force tnere Is no motion, when there Is no motion there Is no change, when there Is no change, there is no life.or to turn the thought in the line of a future life, we see that when there is no power there U no force, when there is no force there Is no motion, when there is no motion there is no change, when there is no change there is no conversion, when then is no conversion there is no sal vation and when there is no salvation there is no eternal life. There is power In lang uage and the science of acquiring a knowl edge of this power is called grammar. Prof Lonsway. of Scio presented the sub. ject of "Modes of Promoting a Love of Truth, Honesty, Benevolence and Vlrturc Among Children. The subject was treat ed with much ability and was instructive to all teachers present. The subject was cate chised quite frequently by members of the Institute snd responded io promptly. Essay by Miss Mary Irvine on the subject of "Study of Words." The address was re plete with interest. Mr Gilbert discussed the subject, "The State's Right to Educate." The subject was treated in a spirit of liberality as to ar riving at the true line of duty of the State in educating the youth. A srbMsrr 1 1st Tws. TBI ALBANY CBLLBBB.

This is consid ered the moht humorous utterance ever made by the learned Judge. In a criminal trial last week in Corvallis a lawyer of that city in airing his classical knowledge spoke of Mt. Olympus. The famous Ben Hayden was on the opposite side. In summing up Ben spread him self thusly in his characteristic style, half of which is his inimitable action. "The gen tleman tries to be classical by referring to Olympus. Olympus.gentlcmen of the jury, is the jargon for Mary's Peak. I say Olym pus i' nc jargon for Mary's Peak." What It Vest. It is just naturally curious the way some will get excited, and lose their head. Our neighbor of the State Journal, of Eugene, says the Registry Law when declared un constitutional, had cost that county $1500 and Linn county $3000. You are complete ly wrong Mr. Journal. The law had cost this county only about $200. Had the reg istration gone into effect the cost would have been about $1200 in this county and not over $1500 in Lane. Figure it out and see. Anything can be made by guessing ; but figures do not lie. We rejoice because the law is useless ; but do not believe any thing will be gained by exaggeration. Prof. Garrigus, of Independence.attempt ed to lecture in the Court House lsst Mon day evening on the "Immortaletay of the Soul," or something of that kind. Only a few boys and men were present We were not there ; did not even see the Professor, and, really, are not sorry Either. Garrigus has been given so much taffy by Indepen dence people that it is doubtful if he knows just .how he does stand in the eyes ot this big world. Illiterate curiosities may take in some places, and their ill spelled produc tions look funny in a newspaper ; but when it comes to listening to one a majority of people prefer to be excused. A man has to be a Sam Jones or a Josh Billings to draw. Their crudeness is put on, and you know what to make of it ; but where it is natural, with no particular amount of ability to back it ; its absurdity being its principal recom mendation, there is nothing in it people are willing to sit on hard seats, to say nothing of the free collection part, in order to hear Garrigus, your forte is not the lecture field Don't be duped any more. Will Celebrate. Representatives of the various Lodges of Odd Fellows of Yamhill county met at McMinnville last week and decided to cele brate the 67th anniversary of the order at McMinnville on April 26th by having a public parade, oration, and basket dinner interspersed with vocal and Instrumental music. A eood time will be had. On Friday of last week Bill Clerk, our wild Irishman friend," and his "pard," were serenely grubbing on the Monteith s piste, near this city, when suddenly a fifty cent piece flew up and hit Bill's perd direct y on his nose. Of course the duet were astonished. As one is indication of two they began digging and soon unearthed $6 in the much talked of silver. This they di vided and when they came to town, well, just inquire of Bill what was done with the fund. Who hid the money is a matter en tirely of speculation. The newest coin was dated in 1 871, so that it could not have been concealed longer than that. From Dr. Davis, of Walla Walla, who was in Albany Saturday, we learn the par ticulars of a recent sea accident. The Dr. was a psMcnger on the -Yaquina" on its last trip from San Francisco. On the night of March joth the -Yaqulna" ran directly into a twenty -five ton schooner loaded with butter and provision and bound for San Francisco. The little schooner was struck side ways and cut nearly in two. Her crew were taken on board the ' Y equina" and brought to the Bay. The schooner with its cargo of course sank immediately. The " Yaquina" received no greater damage than a delay . Dr. Davis aays no blame could be laid to that steamer for the accident, as the schooner saw its lights a long time be fore the collision. The master of the Conger, though, threatens suit, and it is possible the last has not been heard of the matter yet. YBsl Bswellsiaslssw, Away sad Brieaas. On Friday last Mr. Charles Dubois died in this city of consumption, after an illness of seversl months, at the age of twenty - three. He came from the Isle of Jersey three or four years ago, and worked in the country until taken sick, when, having no money, he was placed on the county, living with Mrs. Dorris to this city. Alone, sick, in a distant country, without a relative and few friends, his case is a sad one. The Bressn Beet- Pure crystalized cane sugar, on first re duction, 4 per cent. A svrup, the usual re sult, was more difficult of treatment than is usual ; but upon being rediluted and dis tilled, it yielded 5 per cent of alcohol. The true estimate is therefore, 6 per cent of ane sugar. Very Respectfully, W. S. Walker, We trust our farmers will take up this subject and investigate it as beet sugar may prove a profitable business in Oregon. Last week we offered a year's subscrlp tion to the Democrat to the person solv ing the following problem 1 A triangular board has a perpendicular 12 feet long and a base 12 inches. How far from the base shall a line be run para lie! with the base, so as to divide the tri angle into two equal parts. Urge number, particularly among school teachers, worked on the problem , but only four answers were received. They were from Frank W Power, a student In the Albany. Collegiate Institute, Eli Vaughn, of Jefferson, Lonnle Jackson, of Sodaville and R E Bristow, of Eugene. The correct answer is 3.5147 Inches. Mr Power being the first to give a correct answer will get the Democrat. WBe Bsmiesl It. On Thursday night of last week some miserable wretch entered the barn of J. H. Foster, in the First Ward, cut the straps that held a couple of cows and horses, let them loose, and then set fire to the barn at least these are our conclusions. We have been in the habit of laying it to careless tramps, but careless is no longer a proper word. Something more active and mali cious needs to be used. The fire companies were called out promptly responded, and saved the charred remains from falling down. No insurance, and only a small amount of hay, etc., lost The horse let loose, took a spin in the country, not being found until noon the next day. Billed hy a Kick. On Thursday night of last week Robert Montgomery, of Corvallis was kicked by a stallion in the abdomen, from the effects of which he died the next morning. The horse was being fed when Mr Montgomery, in horseman like style, slapped hpn on his hips. The horse immediately kicked back as stated. As the owner of the horse, Mr Peck, of Anns ville had given warning that the animal was not to be trusted while eating, no blame for the accident was at tached to anyone but Mr Montgomery him self.

He was a man much respected by all, and leaves many relatives and friends in the county to mourn his loss. His remains were buried in the cemetery at Crawfords- ville. The Last Saturday at the Foundry of Cherry & Parkes the bottom of the cupola fell out letting several hundred pounds of melted iron to the ground, only part of the iron in the cupola being melted. Titus Marshall, who was working near it, was struck by some of the iron spattered on the ground and burned, but fortunately not seriously. Death mt lease Be tew Albany freelset Resnlsatleas.

We are requested to say that the Coffee Club will discontinue regular meetings in consequence of the laek of general attend- ance.but in case of a large fire they will still be ready to furnish hot coffee for wearied firemen. Mr. Isaac Kester,after a lingering illness, died on his farm in Center Precinct on last Friday evening.at the age of 62. Ill health, though, made Mr. Kester look much older. He came to Linn county from Iowa in 1865, and has resided here since.obtaining a name for honesty and integrity.

We never heard of a vil Uge without its hoodlum, and, naturally enough supposed the Albany nov'a story waa correct ; but our friend there in! that the hoodlumism was on the part of the Albany boys after having investigated the matter. A correspondent says : Upon close inquiry I ascertained that not an animal had been wantonly disturbed. One family, when they went 'out to tart home found a loose horse feeding in tlieir wagon. The horse was tied by a member of tlte family to a grub near by. Thi was right. Another horse had ellppcd hi halter, which wss found still tied at the place where tlte rider had hitched him. Tbe halter waa buckled very loosely and the horse had doubtless freed himself by nib bing. The Tangent boys very gentleman ly atted in capturing the loose animal for the rider, never thinking of being charged with lujudliiinim. I do not believe there is a man or bov around here who wouid do such an act There is not a hoolum in thi utility not one siinectrd ol tendencies in that direction. The, firing pitU, veiling. fast riding and drinking was not dm? by the Tangent boys.
