The first musical recital of the season of 96-7 was given by the Conservatory of Music of Albany College lat night in the college chapel, to a fair sized audi, ence, who enjoyed the program, consist ing of tne following: The overture Massenillo, Auber, on two pianos by Misees Torbet, Alderson and Parrish and Mr. Chas. Cun tiff, artistioly performed; a piano solo by Mis Adda KchitUer, "Rowds Dance;" a vocal solo, 4,The Boone Sentinel," by A.W.

The Eugene Guard tells the following of great interest : Dr. J C. Gray, of tLUcity, has a pafr of hybrids, the result ot a cross between the male China pheasant and the do mestic hen. The male has more cf a resemblance to the pheasant family, while the female favors the domestic fowL Judging from it color, the mile is supposed to be crossed with the Dominecser breed of ciickena In form it is an exact coun terpart ot the male pheasant, excepting the feet and legs, which resemble those ot a chicken. It has the head, long slop ing neck, body and long tail of a pheas ant. Its color indicates more than any thing else the cross with the chicken, being almost the same as that of a Doo- iatcker chicken. In action and habit the bird is like the pheasant, being wild, alert and always watchful. Owing to ita wild disposition and tendency to run away it is confined in a park with eon.e tame fowls. The female bvbrid is unmistakably a cross between the Brown Leghorn ben and the China pheasant. In form it is exactly the same aa the Leghorn ben, excepting hat it is smaller, more supple of body and has the pheasant feet and legs. In color it is aboct equally divid ed between the Brown Leghorn and the female pheasant. The bronse of the latter shows quite prominently on ita breist and back. In habits it is much the same as the domestic hen, not being so wild as the male, and is allowed its freedom in the vard with some chickens. Dr. Grav has been offered a Urge sum ioi the hybrids, but declined to sell- I'e will exhibit them at the poultry show which wi'l be held in this cty during the holidays, after which be will prob ably dispose of them.

A BRIGHT SWINDLER. $1200 Easily Secured by n Smooth Young Man. A young wan of excellent appearance came to Albany last June and began looking around for a farm. He said he was single but expected to get married and wanted a place in Oregon, lie fin ally settled upon the farm owned by Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Knox, of San Jose, Onl ifornia, located at Spicer, constating ot 318.75 acres of fine land, fie in add a good many inquiries, visUed Mr. P. S. Dougbten the renter, who began to get anxious aa ho thought he would be obliged to vacate it. Incidentally he ran around come with a real estate ageat and about selected another tarai for a brother, who wished to come here also. In the early part of July he went to the Albany Abstract Co. aul reported that he had made arrasgnnents to purchase the farm and would want an abstract of the title; he also had a doed made bv Mr. Ivuddt" send to San Jose for the signatures cf Mr. and Mrs. Knox. He was a cool young man who seemed to be in no hury, and w hen the deed came ami coold not be recorded on account of the scrolls be ing left otf, it seemed to make no dU!er erence to him; he took the deed and K re tended to send it back to San Jom to corrected. On July 13 he went with Mr. Rudd to the office of C. O. Bnrk hart, agent for the Alliance Trust Com pany and applied for a loan of $1200 oa the property, giving particulars as to im provements he intended t make. The loan was granted, the mortgage properly 1 executed, and the deed having bee a- cor- rec et on July 20 the deed and mortgage were both placed on record, Mr. tttigvt receiving hs 1200. Why be did not ant for $2500 is strange, as he' cou.d as ennly have secured it on the farm, which w valued at 10.000 at least. Mr. Bright shortly after dirappeared. Recently Mr. Knox wrob- te Wealtisr tord Jk Wyatt to look after the renUi af fairs of the farm, when investigation re vealed the fact that the entire transaction wai a grand twindle.the signatures to the deed Iwiug a forgery. The deed pur norted to be executed onJulr7. On July 3 Mr. and Mrs. Knox left San Jose for the seaside and did not return until 1 October. On the day he left be rwiwd a letter from H. C. Briprs at Portland sking if he wou'.d trade bis place wear llbany for one near Los Gat, Calif, but paid no attention to it at all. Brv evidently knew of the trip. TLe witnesses to the deed are G. W. Taylor and F. P. Black, two Saa Jose men, both forgeries; the name of the Notary is E. C. Clark ; but there is ao such man in San Jose, thoechonero 1 Be cabling the name tlieit there three- yers ago. The seal is fresh and was rm- doubtedly made fur the occasion. The signature do not resemble thtwe of Vr. and Mrs Knox, though that of the lattrv i a gcod imitation of a .ady's eignttana, j The man claimed to be 37 year of an. Driving that in tia application for the oan. said be wa sini-k but expected te be married when he would locate oa the place probably not for a year. lie was well dressed, nice luoklujr wUh large brown mustache and easy manners. This morning Weatherford k Wrslt attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Knox f-ied a complaint with the clerk, againt . H. C Briggs and the Alliance Trust Co asking for a decree ot tl4 court declar ing anJ adjedging that the defendasia have no estate or interest or lien what ever in or to said lands and premise, that the tide of plaintiff U good and val uable; that a id deej, herein al-ve d scribed, be adjudged a forgery and rvtd and that the said mortd$e invalid and void and that the said doel and mort gage be cancelled by a decree of tni court. As it is a plain case it is doubtful if anv defense is made to the complaint The case prevents one of the brightest swindling operations ever reported, one carefully arranged and earned out wi.h remarkable nerve and coolness. ii is said the came scheme w as oper ated successfully in Texas several years ago. OUR PRICES are Bargains... Ex-SherifT CKborn. The experts, who for two months have wn going over the accounts of ex Shertn Ooburn have completed their work, and the county court has been appne ol the result. At the recent term no action was taken, and the matter was continued until the January term. Speaking of the case the ex-sheriff said : "I am perfect ly aatisSed with my report as it was sab- nutted to the county court when my term ot office expired. My accounts have been careiuny gone over y thoroughly co la pel en t experts and I have no important changes to make in my ffgurrs. I do not care to make public my figures tor the reason that tbey were practically alt contained in my various rport to the county court, and there is nothing near to otter on Ue subject."
