Young ladies blossoming into woman hood cannot be loo careful of their associa tkMU. If evil a few tep often lead them to eternal ruin. A life well pent can hard ly atone for a single act of indiscretion. The young man ma debauch as he pleases, if he reform,hls libertinism it forgotten.and he Is sent to Congress or something ef the kind ; but a member of the gentler sex be comes an outcast. This is radically wrong. The truly repentent should .be forgiven, whatever the sex Conduct that ostracise a woman should also ostracise a man from respectable society. O "Kicking" is becoming about as much of a habit as swearing or drinking. It is at least chronic. For instance a Corvallit pa per has its weekl v kick at something locally internal as regularly as a bummer takes out his knife on taking a seat on a dry goods box. O Gov. Pennoyer at least knows what the veto power is, and, by the way it is a power that, quite frequently, if not oftner, should be used. It b astonishing to observe the number of bills that just simply slip through the Legislature, without any serious consid eration on the part of the members. O People are very foolish to waste precious -moments on "prison puaales," puzzles that on I v a casual examination pronounces un solvable It is all right for a man to spend a life time hunting for perpetual motion, because if found he would be the author of something immense, i. e.. p, m., but to at tempt something useless is as bad as build ing snow houses for summer use. O Spring Is upon us. The chinook has been here. Wheat looks fin, the soil is mellow and the prospects bright O Senator Hiscock, New York's new Sena tor, whom the M. A.

Three Old Bibles. Mr. George Will., of this city, on his re. tarn from the East recently, brought with him three Bibles of most ancient date for printed Bibles. One was printed in the Sixteenth Century and the other two in the Seventeenth Century. They are all in German text, and one is quite elaborately illustrated, some of the picture of Biblical events being copied at the present time on account of their -striking likeness to the ac count of the event illustrated. The relics are old family ones brought down through two and three centuries. Electric Lights. Albany is to have the electrjc light sys tem. A sufficient number of business men have agreed to take lights to insure the system for the city, about one hundred lights having been contracted for. Besides this the city will no doubt agree to take from ten to fifteen lights. These lights will add greatly to the nightly appearance of First Street and the city generally, and the enterprise deserves encouragement . Death of Br. B?ee. vLast Monday morning, at his home in .Ashl and. Dr. D. B. Rice died after a short 'illness, though at times during the past few years he ha been seriously ill. Dr.Rice was for several years a resident of this city, where he was highly respected. He leaves two sons, W. B. Rice, of this city, and Lyle Rice, O A C agent at Grant's Pass. His family has the sympathy of many friends in Albany. Lebanon's Canal. Engineers are surveying the route of the proposed Lebanon canal, making a perm anent course for the canal. Work on the canal wilt begin as soon as practical, provid ed the estimated cost is not too large, and it probably will not be. Lebanon people are disnlavim; commendable enterprise in the matter of obtaining water power.

As announced last week King O'Malley was on hand at the Opera House, in this city, Friday evening, to speak on prohibi tion, etc. The house was full. Mr. O'Mal ley talked for over on hour and a half in a very random kind of a manner ; but with considerable fluency. The trouble with O'Malley 's speaking is that one is uncertain whether he is in earnest, or simply talking for buncombe. He told several stories, In which a minister or church was generally the hero, and gave some good argu ments in favor of prohibition. He attacked the saloon rough shod, and showed how most of the crime emanate from it, its evil Influence in reference to women and it bad influence generally. If an ox dies the meat is diseased and cannot be sold. This is pro hibition. A man can eat his own dead ox but should not be allowed to sell it. In Kansas the speaker sold prohibition was like other taws ; but was enforced more than any other law in that State, though like all laws it was evaded, by druggist's prescrip tions, In secret, and.in three cittes,where the officers had been elected for the occasions openly. In one of the ci ties.t hough ,( Leav enworth) one of the saloon keepers had recently been fined aooo and there was disorder in the business. As the lecture was free, and the speaker had the option of talking on whatever sub ject he pleased there should be no very savage complaint if some thing were said that might better not have been said. An Baeampmcat Meeting. Last Friday evening an enthusiastic time was had by Odd Fellows at their hall in this city, the principal feature being the confer ring of six degrees. Besides the Albany members about twenty-five were present from out of the city, among the number be ing J P Schooling, Dr H A Davis, D W McClain, George Woodbury, J G Senders, J F McCartney, A M Cox, A T Drisco, M Fuller and C F Wright, from Harrisburg, W J Stewart, from Halsey, T Howard and and Oren Barker, from Salem, and S A Hemphill from Corvalli. A splendid supper was given at Huffman & Monteith's, partaken of by about fifty O, F's. Death or a Mstle, While at church in this city last Sabbath, Mr V. H. Caldwell left his team in the western part of the city. One of the mules became sick, reposed on the ground, kicked up his heels and died. The team was a large, strong one, and hi sudden death can hardly be accounted for. Call and Settle.

Two weeks ago the Democrat published a challenge of Mr. W . F. Barrows, of Shedd. Mr. G. F. Simpson, to whom the challenge was directed, accept It through the columns of a contemporary, as follows : The proposition made by W. F. Barrows to trot mile heats two In three over the Linn county track Sept. 3rd, 18S7, for $250 on a side Is accepted by J. W. Shannon, who trots one of the raising of the undersigned, a two year old sired by A I wood Brcese. The former his Ouero two-year-old by One co. A written agreement has been signed by the parties and the $250 up as a forfeit, which assures the race. I wish now to make a few comments on an article which appeared in the Albany Democrat of this city a few days since, In which my friend Harrows seemed to take great delight in criticising my judgment as a breeder of horse. I have never claimed anything in that direction. Nevertheless It appears as though when I sell my horses to other par lies who have experience and judgment in that line of business, their breeding is suf ficient to Induce them to back them In a race without ever having been tried or even being broke, and now tiiat you say you don't breed to horses because voii could get the service free. A very good reason why you have been rather unfortunate In the matter of fine mares. You never owned one that any man who had a fine stallion would consider a colt from her, would be a good advertisement for his horse, and what l more, you never paid a much aa fifty dollars for Che siring of a colt in this coun try or your neighbors don't tell the truth, and their word is always taken in Court, and as for personalities In my former com munication, I can call only one to mind and that was where you responded to the term rather noisy and windy. Now friend Barrow tlte time for noise and wind is over, you wHl .have to get In and work, for It will take more than mere wind to "get there" first In the race. You are getting quite old to start out to be a jockey, you say you never bet a dollar on a horse race in your life ; have you forgot what a story you use to tell about how Bill Gird swindled you out of quite a um of money several years ago In a running race when you claimed to have had the fastest horse. More anon when you get your friend to write another communication for yoti to sign. Signed. G. F. giMreo. Tachr Ortllcate The late Legislature changed the law with reference to granting certificates to teachers. There shall be three grades of certificate The first grade shall be good for two years, the second one year, and the third six months First grade certificate hall rot be issued to persons under 18 years of age, nor to such as have not taught at leatt twelve months with approved success To obtain a first grade certificate the ap plicant .hall make a general average of not les than 90 per cent of all question asked and not fall below 70 per cent in any one branch.

No certificate can be renewed In another county, but a first grade certificate my be renewed once in the county where granted. Certificates of the second grade may be issued to persons of not less titan 17 year of age who have taught uccessfully not less than three months. To obtain a certificate of this grade the applicant must make a general average of not less than 80 per cent in all the branches prescribed by la-, and In no case siiall a person re ceive a second grade certificate who faK below 60 In any one branch.

S. instructor, at the Baptist Church.last Sabbath gave a striking illustration of the power of evil and goad habit on children. He exhibited two bot tles, one containing water, the other a col ored poison. Taking the former for a boy starting out in life he added drops of the poison, as an illustration, for different evil deeds of the boy, and finally both bottles were of the same color, and it looked as if the boy was beyond redemption ; but he began reforming, and for every good deed done, little antidote pellet were placed in the bottle, until it assumed its original color. It wa observed by Mrs. Wheeler, though, that there were dregs at the bottom that could not be effaced. filed at llalsey. James C. Wilson, a nephew of Rev. T. J. Wilson,of Halsey, died at the home of Rev. Wilson, on Thursday, February 24th, 1887, of consumption, at the age of thirty years. Mr. Wilson arrived in Halsey in September last from Pennsylvania ; but disease had taken too deep a hold of his system, and he gradually failed. Kev. Irvine, of this city, conducted the funeral services. The Old Mtory. Two young men, of Alsea, named Clark and Malone, went hunting recently.
