ALBANY'S PAST.
From ilie Pkmochat of June 30 to July

Mr, Edward Goins and Miss Clara
Butcher were married on Sunday. June
25.
The first copy of the Intelligencer, of
Seattle, was received. (It Is now Wash
ington's leading paper.)
It was an interesting fact that the
original settler of Albany, Walter Mon
teith, and the original settler of Corvallis
J. C. Avery, died only six days apart.
Who, in thunder is Hayes, the Demo
chat aked. He proved to be Mrs.
Haves' husband, lie bad just been
nominated (or president of the U. S.
At the Centennial celebration in Port
land on Julv 4, the englue oi No. 2's won
the first prize, a 4lh class engine, de
feating three second class engines and
one 4th class. Ttie throw was 2,(8 ft 10'a'
inches, the nearest being Willamette
No 1 of Portland, with 232 ft 8 inches.
This wis a victory often referred to, and
that will never be forgotten Joe Web
ber was chief and William N. Miller,
foreman, of the victorious engine.
A woolen mill came near being built
in Albany the centennial year, but it
was not.
Mr. Conrad Myerand Min Catherine
Radamaker were married at Corvaiiis by
Rev. Jos. Emery on July 1.1. Ou their
arrival in Albany, Albany Engine Co.
No. 1 and the Mechanics Band gave
them a genuine old fashioned serenade.

I under-star d the report that was
started by some incarnate derl has
reached Albany and vicinity, that my
brother, W. H. Reed, before he died,
made a confession in rega-d to the at
tempted banc robbery, which is still
frewn in the minds of many people. The
following named gentlemen, several of
whom are members of tbe A. O. I. W
kindly assisted in nursing himduring his

About Col. Kelsay.
Suggested by an article ia a Rout-burg
paper E. R. Skipworth gives the follow
ing reminiscent thoughts about the late
Col. John Kelsey, of Corvallis :
The Oo'onel's salutations to an ac
quaintance were really unique. The Col.
was always uniform in his salutations,
and it was about this way :
"First rate John, how you git long?"
"Very well Colonel, how are you?"
To which the Colonel would promptly
reply:
"All right friend John, never better,
just as stout as I was forty years ago,
nearly as stoat as a horse; all very well ;
Oh yes I providence I Wall what's, tbe
news John in that political pot, out
there T"
"Not very encouraging. Col."
Tbe Col. "Jerusalem !"
This reminUcence might be continued
on this tine almost ad infinitum, but
enough for illustration, it will be re
member ad by all the Col's old acquaint
ances that in speaking to a friend be al
ways first told bow be was. This was a
singular peculiarity of the Colonel.
