T. ha apoken with many Al bany people who remember hearing "Prof.' Morris My while in Albany that he was a married man : and vet a few weeks ago he pasted himself off to a Columbia county girl at single and married her. O In past retrs our neighbors In Benton conn v have suffered greatly from depreda tions by watermelon thleves.and do not pro pose to stand It this year. Watermelons are as good as cash, and the melon thief is as bad as any other thief. The boys will con fer a great favor bv leaving them alone this fall. O Small boys should begin selling old iron, tin cans and bottlea,for the circus is coming. O Those who remember the newspaper con troversy of several months ago between Mr Barrows and Mr Simpson are now mak ing comments. Mr Barrows put up the whole money and was ready to trot ids colt The M. A. T. understands he is "look ing out for 1 883 and is ready to out up again on some more two year olds, ' The controversy was an interesting one, and there are many who would like to see it con tinue. Body el aa Lskuuwn Maa. Last Sunday while on the Island near Barrows slough, along the Willamet!e,about three miles south of this city, Mr. Sam Gurley discovered the half decomposed re mains of a man, tying on the bank of the river, the head down stream, and a foot thrown over a willow. The indications were plain that the body liad been washed there during high water and left as the wa ter went down. The flesh was nearly gone, but a few patches of hair in the back of the neck were gray, indicating that the man must have been fifty to sixty years of age. He wore a red shirt, an old pair of pants, and a pair of brogan shoes, with a cut in one of them, probably made by an ax. Near the bodv was a coat and vest, and an old wallet A Coroner's Jury, consisting of T J Stltes, Geo E Fish, C I- Casey, W 1 Vance, T L Wallace and J J Dorrts, was called, and found that the person came to his death from cause or causes unknown to the jury, and that his name i unkown. A man choootair wood on the k nk of the Willamette at Corvallis last winter sudden ly disappeared, and was never heard of again. The cut by an ax in the brogan makes it look as u he might be the n an. Tae H Trot. The first trot mentioned last week to have taken place yesterday between the get of McKnlght Brother's Oneco, Delco being named, and Mr. Ans. Marshall's A 1 wood Breeze, was declared off on Thursday even ing of last week, by Mr. Marshall failing to put up the remaining$ia5 of the purse. It is to be regretted the race oould not have been trotted, as it promised to be a fine one. Already Delco has displayed phenominal speed fara two year old, having trotted on trial, with 'little training, in three minutes. He promises to be the coming horse in Ore gon. Race No. a, between Mr. W. F. Barrows' Onero and one of two of Mr. Shannon's two year o'ds from A I wood Breeze, was declared off in the same manner by a failure on the part of Shannon to put up the remaining $12$. It is the general opinion that Onero. though 16 hands high, would have wen with ease, as he has already shown a good gait and great reliability. Considerable disap pointment has been expressed over the fail ure of both trots. As it is it places Oneco stock On top in the public estimation. "Uvltad Order of Hoaor " On last Tuesday evening at O. F. Hall, a lodge of the above name was instituted by Mr. Alex Rachentein. It is a mutual life insurance sorieiy with several new and prominent features, and admits of insurance from $500 to $3000, and weekly benefits of $5 to $15. The following officers were elected 1 Jas V Pipe, President. Geo W Keeney, Vice President. J H Burkhart, Secretary. C B Winn, Treasurer. M II Ellis, Medical Examiner. Miss Weiss, Conductor. Mrs Dr Ellis, Chaplain. The following district officers for the dis trict from Salem to Ashland were appoint ed : C B Winn, President M H Ellis, Medical Examiner, J H Burkhart Secre tary. Knot for a Wild Animal. On Friday evening of last week three boys aged fifteen to eighteen, named Bishop, Todd and Jennings, living on Hamilton Creek, went coon hunting. While beating about for coons young Jennings concluded to frighten the Todd boy, who was at their camping place. Making a noise like a wild animal he approached through the thick bushes. The boy was frightened as expect ed and called on his companion for help. Young Bishop grasped a shot gun and aim ing it towards the noise fired, hitting the Jennings boy in the body, killing him al most inMtantly, his cry telling his compan ions the kind of animal that had been shot. The unfortunate accident has cast a deep gloom oyer the community. 1 he deceased was a bright, fun-loving boy, and hardly anticipated such a serious termination to a joking act. Jury List. The following is a list of the Jury drawn for the special teres of Circuit Court for Liun ooaaty, called by His Honor Judge Boise to be bold on the Jth dsy of September in this city : B A Irvine, C W Cole, D D Michael, Al bert Savage, J H Marks, John Robb, Louis Stnngsr, Wm Pstter, M C Gill, J C Bilyen, Cal Barkhart, S Caunon.

For the fair to be held at Salem .beginning on Sept. 1 2th, there have been fifty -one en tries in the running races and forty-two in the trotting races. Besides the horse races there will be twenty-six bicycle races on a quarter mile track made for the purpose. This will be an important feature. Two Albany young men, we under stand, will en ter. In the booths, there will be some good county exhibits.and a fine exhibition of hor ses and cattle may always be depended on. It is the only fair we have that calls itself a state fair, and we advise everybody to go. Immense Bargains. Standard white shirts, 65" cents ; Boss of tho Ron I overalls, 50 cents ; 4 pair of Beam iest soo is, 'i ceots ; regular pries 4 for 60 oentr, .ad ether bargains to match, at A. B. MCllWSIU S. ' OEAK UM. L. E. McKitmey, John Shafet and Wm . Pearson, of Marion county, own about 700 acres of land in this county, on the line of the Oregon Pacific, beyond the Santlam. T W Gentry occupied the land, and W I) Bilyeu was agent for the owners. The track of the O P as laid out, will cross the land, about six acres being used by the road. The Railroad made a tender of $60 an acre for this, $30 more than every other land owner had received ; but the owners demanded $700 as a compromise, three or four times what was asked by any one rise. Pending negotiations work of grading proceeded across the land. Finally, it was asserted, the owners through their agents Interfered with the work of grading, whereupon the Company obtained a temporary injunction before Judge Whitney, in the County Court in this city restraining such interference. Then Mr Bilyeu, aa prosecuting witness swore out a warrant, be tore George Humph rey, Esq., for the arrest of John German and seven other laborers for trespass, and they were arrested by Sheriff Smith and Monday- and Tuesday German was tried be fore Justice Humphrey for the offense men turned, lion L H Montanve, Tilmon Ford and Hewitt St Brvant appeared for the pros ecution and L Flinn, Wolverton Si Irvine and W R Bilyeu for the defendants. After a heart nir of the case lust ice Hum phrey found the defendant, John German, guilty of trespass, and fined hltn $21 and costs, the fine being large enough to admit of an appeal. An appeal was Immediately taken to the Circuit Court and a motion made for a change of venue in the seven other cases. Before actimr on the same the prosecution moved for a dismissal of them, which disposed of them. In the case trted the injunction mention ed was offered in evidence ; but was object ed to bv the prosecution, and objections sustained by the Justlce.on the grounds tliat tt was void. Considerable interest has been manifested in the case bv the public. As the grade has been completed over the farm In question the object of the sustenance of the injunc tion Is to secure the right to lay the rails over the same. This will be tried at a spec ial term of the Circuit Court Sept. 19th. Yesterdav tierman was taken before County Judge Whitney, on a writ of habeas corpus, which was being argued at the time of going to press. Albany's feaeeJa.

The following from the Brownsville cor responoent 01 tne Leoanon ttfrtt$ is a M a. m . at mm a good description of the new mine discovered by several Brownsville men : G A Dyson. W B Standisb and lode Moore, who for some time past have been prospecting on the Calipooia, also the Blue river, have at last been amply rewarded in their endeavors to locate the supposed vein that has furnished colors and free gold, to the two rivers For many years past it has been the opinion of mining experts that in the neighborhood of the head waters of the Calipooia, extensive veins of gold bearing quattz must exist. G A Dyson,the original locater of the Big Camas fraction mine, ad joining Big Camas No. 2, Idaho, which has recently been sold for $4,000,009, on a late prospecting tour, has located on the divide of the Blue and Calipooia rivers, a quartz lead known as the "Lucky Boy," which judging from present indications is rich in the precious metal. An opcning.seven and one-half feet has been made through the lead, showing a well defined ledge, of over seven foot of gold bearing quartz, the foot walls being of granite, with hanging walls of porpherv, giving evidence of a true fissure vein. Two foot of decomposed quartz next to tne foot wail is rich in free goldssaying $30 to the ounce. Extensions of this claim have been taken up, but theie yet remains miles of unexplored country which from all indications may contain extensive quartz leads equally as rich in gold. Situated 45 miles from Browosvllle,comparatively easy of access, there is no reason why others should not be equally successful with the locators of 'he "Lucky Boy." A Crook Connty Murder. John Combs, Deputy Sheriff of Crook County, was in Albany Tuesday on his way to Eugene City. He brought Todd, the murderer of Jim Brackett with him and left him at The Dalles. Last week Todd and Brackett had a quarrell in a Mitchell saloon when the former shot the latter, killing him almost instantly. Todd was held to await the action of tKc Grand Jury, without the benefit of bail, and there being no safe jail in Crook County he was taken to The Dalles. Mr Combs had subpoenas for sev eral witnesses in the Curran horse stealing case, which will be tried at Prineville at the next term of Court Bis Dry Good?.

Read the following from a San Francisco paper about Monrovia, In So uth ern California : "A year ago last May when Monrovia was laid out, acre property was worth $a0. Now It is worth $4,000. Town lots that fourteen months ago were worth $150 now figure at $5,000 and $6,000 on the choice streets. There are two banks in Monrovia, and two churches are new being bullt,one costing $7,ootthu other about $8, 000. Two school buildings are also under way, one of which will cost $15,000. J M Studebaker and Clem Studebakcr.the South Bend, Indiana, wagon manufacturers, and 1 I Case, the owner of Jay Eye See, are building winter residences $7,500 each. E. F Spruce, the banke, is building a $13,000 home t bere.and G B Lampert,cahler of the Granite Bank, is building a residence worth $10,000. Monrovia has t.aOO people, and is growing fast." Southern Oregon rather ha tho best of the Willamette Valley on the fruit question this year. The following from the Oregtttia shows how easy it is to manufacture rumors : "It Is rumored in railroad circles that the Ore- Ifon Pacific is to have its terminus In Port end. The story goes that It secured a loan of $10,000,000 to enable it to pay off its old Indebtedness and to build across the Cas cades from large stockholders of the Chicago St Northwestern, on condition that the road be built into Portland."

Yes, there are some weknow full well, who never such a tale could tell, but they, we fear will go to well, the place where there's no winter. Ex. Michael Carlin was found dead in he basement of the Vlllard House ruins last Tuesday, with Indications that he had been murdered. a A Water sasloa Raid. One night last week at that late hour when It is said that all honest men am asleep." three young men were stealthily riding along the road a few miles east of the city towards the residence of Mr. Bridges. The sun that evening had set in a sea of glory, and the great, broad western sky was still shimmering from the blood-red sun now sunk far below the western horiaon. The moon, with her dim, pale light, was trying to light up the deserted earth, which at this season of the year.aml in this latitude and longitude, is always subjected to a great overhanging pall of smoke that settle down upon It from the burning forests In the mountains. The stars were vainly attempt ing to make themselves seen through the cloudy atmosphere. The Katydid was sighing a sad requiem over the grave of the dying day The wearv farmer, whn ha,i been in the field "from early mom to dewv eve was gently resting in the arms of Mor pheus, dreaming of the day when wheat would be worth $1 per bushel. The jaded farm horse stood at the manger quiet! r munching the new made hay. Tired nature itself seemed to have come to a state of rest and quietude. These were the surround Ingsof the three night prowlers bent on mischief. Thcv arc of the clau that ki John, (not tliciWn in the Republican side.) had in his mind's eye when he said : "And uus fcs too condemnation, that light U come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. And it is the experience of nearly every man who has arrived at the age of maturity, that a dark night is a far more favorable time to rahl a watermelon patch than In open broad day light. But as the sequel wi.l show a watermelon raider is not always safe even in a dark night The watch dogs of the farmers for miles along the road which the raiders were traveling gave the alarm by loudly barking when they passed, and Mr Bridges, hearing them, began to surmise that "there was a nigger in the fence." Near and nearer they came as could be told by the barking of toe dogs. Finally they arrived within a hundred yards of Bridges' watermelon patch, when they came to a halt dismounted, hitched tliAr horses, and with a sack each, they set out to the natch. Bridges "set out" too alnnv through his corn patch. The raiders had their sacks about tilled with melons and would soon be readv to retreat with their plunder. Bridges was unarmed, but he de termined to show fight, so he took off a boot and just as one of the raiders started off Bruges pounced down upon him knocked ! him down and began pounding him witltJ his boot but the raider recovered his stand- i . with ing and started to run. but BrftiflM the alertness of a prize fighter was down on the fellow again when he tumbled down again and began to beg "for God's sake don't kill me. Bridges agreed to hold up if he would tell his name and that of his companions. This he agreed to do. Bridges called to a friend at his house for a light. The light was brought but neither could recognize the raider. He gave his name as M and that of the other two raiders as C and P . They then let the raider go. The other two made their escape in the beginning of the melee. It was after wards ascertained that the captured raider had given his own name correctly but had given the names of two well-known respec table citizens as his companions. After a few days Mr. Bridges learned who the real parties were, but we think they were punish- eo enough and win not make their names public. We venture the prediction, how eyer, that when they go to Bridges again they will be more particular about getting caught Teacher's Examination.

Bell.editors respectiyely of the Benton Leader una Rose- burg evie-tv, have seen fit to criticize, most severely and unjustly, the action of the Al. E. Church bouth as regards tne Agricul tural College. They have invited and en couraged communications from the repre sentatives of the church in answer to these criticisms, assuring us, repeatedly, that to those they criticized they were willing to grant, as a matter of simple justice, aside from "aenerosity," a full hearing in their columns in reply. I'rovoked by a statement in my commun ication Mr. Bell made a bitter jiersonal at tack upon me in the Review, and refused access to his columns in reply. Mr. Pipes indorsed the attack bv publish ing in his paper, with favorable comments, published my rejoinder.Bro. liell s response, and then refuHcd me a second hearing in his own paper. Mr. Bell's charge of dissim ulation, upon which he lays so much stress, in his late effusion, was fully mot in the re jected articles. After this statement of what these mag nanimous editors call "generosity," I may be excused from noticing anything coining from that source. Most respectfully, J. W.
