Halls Monday even ing was a great success, particularly so far as the merit of the entertainment was con cerned. A school boys orchestra, composed of Messrs. Gaibraith, Simon, Costel, Venom Dorris, and Miss Robertson, opened the ex ercises and were heartily encored, as was also the double quartet, which followed, composed of Messrs. Pritchard, Adair Thompson, Fortmiller, Brush, Wood worth Lee and Iryine. The feature of the enter tainment were the exercises by the "Little Hatchet" party, consisting of Misses Irvine, Robertson, Marshall, Brink, Bodine, Hail, Brandon, Wheeler, Brush, Kirkpatrick, Miller, Mrs. Nutting and Master Thompson. The parties were dressed in ye ancient cos tumes, and looked very fine. Miss Tot Wheeler as Jinny Keturah Polk being a little the most ancient in appearance. It was her mother's wedding dress that did it. Miss Mary Irvine filled the position of Georgiana Washington Hatchet with great ability. As leader she took her class through several quite interesting exercises in song and prose in a manner to captivate the au dience. Master Thompson was finely made up for George Washington himself. Much credit is due Mrs Pollock, of the College for uniting mecians. A fine lunch was served in the W. C. T U. Hall and sociability and games prevail ed.

Nest Encampment will be held at Portland, The Vetera of IS 1 2. The "Veteran of 181 " or "Kesiah and the Scout" presented at the Opera 1 louse Fri day evening by the G. A. R. and VV. R. O. deserved the crowded house that greeted its. rendition. It is a live, enthusiastic produc tion, full of trying scenes, and though, of course, as in all amateur plays, there were flaws, it was all together well presented.and "took" with the audience. It demonstrated the fact that we have some "old boys" in Albany who cannot be outdone by our ris ing generation. A. B. Wood in filled the part of the Veteran of 1812 remarkably well, entering into the spirit of it in a very intelligent manner. His death scene could not be surpassed by professionals. He also was an expert Clerk of the Court. Bill Jones, the Scout, was rendered to perfection by Mr. S. W. Reecc, who rather carried off the honors. Mr. Recce fit into the part as naturally as a boy into the water, and has the merit of an excellent enunciation. George Fish made a good Jim Haines, the villain, and carried this character through well. Tom. Overman filled the difficult part of Sheriff Slason in a professional manner, and as well made a most excellent Judge Went- worth. Wm. McCoon as Pete and Richard Fox as Old Zibe portrayed the negro char acter well. R. B. Vunk was made for the part of Jake Whitakcr, the cngineer,and has that peculiar outspoken Yankee style any way that made his rendition of the part a popular one. B. F. Tabler as Capt. Hardy, . 9. Train as Charles Morrison and Jas. Mason as the Corporal sustained their parts in a satisfactory manner. The selection of a IS 1 T 1 ir aa mm 9 .a a wr. rv. i, vunn as nestan wethcrby was a happy one. Mrs. Vunk entered into the spirit of that peculiar character with zest and was equal to all the trying ordeals of the play. Mrs. 8. W. Thompson was a good Mary Morrison. Major Jones and John Mor rison as the Guard showed that thev had been there. The soldiers, BherifTs posse, negros, etc., were well trained for the occa sion. A pleasing feature were the tableaux at the end of the scenes. Libcrty.HopeJus- ticc ana Mercy were portrayed in a beautl- ful manner, some of the tableaux being heartily encored. Misses Lida and Haltie Gaibraith, Amelia Senders, Lora Vance and Velle Irving, and Mrs. Thos. Monteith, Jr., and a little girl represented the different characters, assisted by several young men as soldiers. . The orchestra music by ( 'has. Mueller and Miss Rose Estel was heard with pleasure by the audience. New Things. Mr. Charles Crowder is building a hand some residence at the east end of Second Street. Mr. Henry Merrill has placed a couple handsome bank desks on his counter and now has a very neat banking oflicc. You will always find him on hand from 8 a. m. to S p. m.

The grand jury of Marion county In Us report reviews the condition and workings of the State Insane Asylum and peniten tiary, as well as other State Institutions. Just how it came to be their business to pass on Mate institutions we have not learned. Pennoyer had better look out, else some Marion county grand jury may depose him. it may not be generally known that we have in the five cent nickel, a key to the metric system. The diameter of this coin Is two centimeters and its weight Is five gram mes. Five of them placed in a row will of course give the length of the decimeter and two of them will give the weight of a dec agramme. As the Kilolter is a cubic meter the key to the measure of length is also the key to the measure of capacity. Any person therefore who is fortunate enough to own a five cent nickel, may carry in his pocket the entire metric system of weights and meas ures. Em. And what good will that do you anyway.
