Tnblo-tipplug and spiritual manifesta tions, of various kinds, sceia to engage tlie attention of some of our prominent citizens just at present. A party of five gentlemen met in a room, X Sjay evening last, and decided to test VSeir powers as mediums. Arranging them selves around a table 'and laying their bands thereon ther aobn suorrvvWi In making itj caper around the room in a lively manner. As their gatherings are of a private nature we fliid it im possible to gain admittance tmrself, but we are a&mrea tne young men are fully convinced that spiritualism is not all a myth. VVe shall try and got on the right side of this tipping party " auu report procceoings to our readers ' Monthly Missionary Cohceht. There was a good audience assembled at the M. E. Chorch last evening to usten to tne exercises of the monthly concert. We have not space to spare to give the full details, but we must mention a few noteworthy ones. The singing by the quartette was excellent A reoiutiou by alias McCullv was well rendered as was the one bv Miss Mary Powell. But decidedly the best thing of the evening was the declamation by Mast. Eddie Powell. HU gestures ami articulation were quite correct and Appropriate. . Taken altogether. the concert was a success ami is to be repeated, we are pleased to say, at an cany uay. Is TliOUMJE First class temper ance lectures, are an everyday occur rence just nw. Scarcely a day passes but we see some individual with too much benzine on board and giviii practical illustrations of the evils of Intemperance. Yesterday afternoon tliere was a drunken man turned out of one of our saloons having too much on board, and growing somewhat bois terous, be soon after entered one of our groceries and raised so much disturb ance that a policeman was compelled to take him in charge and be slept in the calaboose last night, where he could ruminate over bis degradation at leisure. Mischief. Somebody, imbued with the spirit of mischief, no doubt, has been doing Royal Bro.'s the doubtful favor of tearing down some fine lar . business cards, Which tbey had put up in various places around tlie city, only a day or two ago. We suppose that the police would make it particularly interesting for such marauding chaps if they should happen to catch tliem in the act. Stock Killed. Passengers on yes terday mornings train for Portland report the killing of a fine steer be tween Marion and Turners station. The animal was on the track and in spite of tlie endeavors of the engineer to stop tlie train tlie cowcatcher caught him and dragged him some twenty or thirty rods and when It was removed tlie critter was too indisposed to get up. Hand Isjched. Caleb Chapman, a teamster employed by the Hack and Dray Company of this city, had his liana badly crushed Monday last while engaged in hauling stone from the quarry at South Salem. We could not learn the full extent of his injury but understand it will lay him up for a few weeks. Delegates to the Grand Lodge. At the regular meeting of Anniversary Lodge No, 13 I. O. O. F., held in this city, Tuesday evening last, the follow ing persons were elected delegates to the Grand Lodge which will meet in this city tlie Third Tuesday in May: J. ABsiker ; W. L. Wade, and B. P. Drake. The Schoolmaster Abhoad. The following notice was handed us a few days since. We will only say the original can be found not a thousand miles from our office- "Mebbe you dont better had loaf around here veil you dont cot some peesness. Ain't it ?" , Snow and Hail. Persons residing out in the hill country, inform us that it both snowed and bailed there yes terday. If winter aint lingering in the lap of spring this year, we don't care about ever seeing him linger. Personal. Mr. Jacob StitzeL of the firm of J. Stltzcl & Co., Real Es tate Brokers Portland, came up yes terday, on a business visit to the Cap- tal. lie favored us with a call. Shipments and Receifts.

Through the courtesy of Mr, Ilolman. foreman of these works we were yesterday xhown through this establishment, owned by Bw F. Drake ot this city. The im pression seems to have become spread abroad that Salem was behind hand In tlie manufacture of steam machinery but, judging from appearances around these works this Impression should be dispelled. Mr. Drake has just com pleted an engine for Davis Bros, of thirty horse power which in style of finish and durability of material and workmanship cannot be excelled by .' any factory on tills nortlicru coast, lie ' hat" another one under contract for Slo- per Sons of Independence, who pro pose to erect a steam saw and grl mill. This engine will be of forty horse gbweTT turfr-mr aTfeatfr W'K nndei war. He also manufhetures a planing mill that answers the wants of the people in uregon iar oettcr man that of Eastern manufacture, from the fact that it can be arranged to do al most any kind of work, in a manner excelled by no other machine. The cost of the machines is also much re duced.. Several of them are in use in , different portions of the State, anil they give eeneral satisfaction. These works were burned to the ground some time since, but have been rebuilt, and are now turning out a large amount ot work of all kinds. They keep from fifteen to twenty men constantly em ployed, and engage only the best work men. Mr. Hoi man is considered one ot the best machinists in the State, aud Mr. Atkinson, his moulder, won't take a back seat" with any of his craft. , Works like tliesc are a public good, and we are pleased to see them succeed. , , Reading Rooms. We notice circu lars are bclug spread around the city containing Mr. Knight's proposition, lie seems willing to do the fair thing and will rive his time and tlie use of his tUi Cabinet of Natural Curiosities for the benefit of the canse. ThU if properly conducted will prove, au . ex cellent institution and one calculated to exert an -influence for good.

It is re ported that timber-cutters have been at work on some of such lands and that litis is what has called for tlie no tice. 1 Water Spouts.

From Daily f Friday Apr. 12. Moke Hose Needed. In conversa tion with some of our leading firemen. we And there Ls a great demand for some new base for the use of tlie de partment. The city now has Iwogood -lire companies the members df which are of the hc-st material, and men who are ever ready to dp their utmost when there may be occasion for tlielr ser vices ; but they often find themselves crippled ty the scarcity of hose. 'We are liable to the loss of considerable property at any time, unless tills want Is supplied, itoth companies com bined have now only about four hun dred feet of hose, just enough to con vey water a trifle over one block Divided as it. is between the two, neither one am scarcely throw a stream from Court to State street. Now should a fire break out two or three blocks from any avadable place of securing water, our engines would prove of no use, whatever, and life and property would be much endangered This shouiu not be so, and we feel as sured that when our citizens realize how matters stand, steps will be im mediately taken to remedy the evil. At the very least figures this city should own thteen hundred feet of good hose. This would give each company seven hundred and fifty feet, so that when needed they could play on a tire three blocks from where their engines are stationed. It is not often they would need a larger supply, and should sucn De tne case, uiey could uounie up ana carry tne stream still lurtlier, Tliey always need some extra ho-, so that in cam a section should burst, they opuld fill its place. Just give the boys a i.'iir cnance, anu we Know that tney will always do tlieir best. They are energetic enough for anv emergency. and are ever ready to do their duty as firemen. We would suggest to the bose companies to get up an entertain ment of some kind and aid themselves in this work. Amusements are scarce just now and a ball, festival, or ama teur drama, would call forth a good crowd, and outside talent would aid the enterprise; Stir around among yourselves ami see wnat vou cm do. and we doubt not, your effort will meet with abundant success. Badly Frozen.- R. H. Price of this city recently received a letter from some brothers of his living np in the Paiouse valley abve Walla Walla W T. giving a detailed account ot a trip they took during the recent cold spell. They started early in the morning to go to their mothers about twenty miles distant. A snow storm overtook them before they bad gone any great distance, but they pushed on thinking they would be able to get through without any great difficulty. Taking no food with them, as they supposed they would find a supply on the road, they soon began to suffer from both hunger and cold. But they plodded on until twelve o'clock the following night when the older one gave out. Tlieu pulling oft their boots they both laid down in the snow which they found over three feet in depth. Awaking the following morning they were com pelled to cut their boots and tie them on their feet, and with renewed cour age they again faced tlie storm and , though frequently falling from sheer extaustton, they perservered . aud finally reached their destination at eleven o'clock the following morning, not having food since they started out, The oldetone froze both his feet badly and tlie younger one escaped with his ears Only frozen. Their adventure proved them to be gifted with great endurance, and although one or ttiem is still unable to do any work, they consider themselves fortunate to have escaped alive. . , Mysterious Disappearance. A case of this kind is related to us and we give our readers the benefit of it, in hones, that it may be the means of throwlnff 8ome"lirht on the where- abouts of the individual in question Thursday, April 4th, a gentleman by the name of Montgomery married a . MissDayis, My ingin the neighborhood of Silverton. They were married at the Union Hotel in this city, and after the weddiiny was formed the groom hired a carriage and took his bride out home, and returned to the city immediately. The next day he stnrtati far Portland, and hn nnt been seen or heard from since. He left his valise in tlie jitable where he hired his team, aud we are told lie left quite a sum of moriey with his wife. There is considerable anxiety felt, as he was a gentleman well known around here. ami he has' many personal friends who are desirous to know what lias become of him The-Couet House Foundation. .. .. .. . . We notice that tlie foundation of this building is only laid about one foot be- s low the surface.' From what we can hear, buildings built In this way are very apt to settle, and ruin the whole structure. The M. E. Church has set tled ii one spot already, and the walls are only completed a very small way up. The contractors on the Sisters School house have prepared a seven foot foundation tor their tmilding. and . we should think tliat a public building which Is to stand Tor years should have - equally as solid a foundation. Nearly all tlie brick walls in Salem are cracked, . a fact which shows that shallow foun dations are unsafe. A building so ex pensive as toe court 'house ought to nave solid foundation walls not less tlian eight or ten feet deep.

OLE BI LL 1D FIDDLY. Everything that can possibly happen to a fiddler Fisippens to Mr. Ole Bull. Being in the Clinton Rouse, Iowa City, lowa, a lew nignts since, wnen inat tavern was burned, Mr. Bull is reiwrted to have escaped from the flames in his night-clothes with his fiddle carried aftectionately under his arm a scene for a historical painter the best of tlie Wild since that of -Eneas carrying his venerable papa away from tlie consum ing fames of Troy. Of course the classical reader will be inevitably re minded by this accident of Mr. Bull's eminent predecessor, Nero linperator. scraping out his great Conflagration Concerto. Probably this was tlie most natural con fum movement ever exe cuted by Mr. Bull ; and we suppose that he will utilize it in crotchets and seml-breves, and will give us a piece which, in its way, wdl be quite as moving a thing as tlie artist's great War Polacca ; for the ringing of bells, the shouts of tlie waiters, the screams of the chambermaids, and the swear ing of tlie firemen, all Imitated upon one string of the very nddie winch nlsh a sonaLi which Mr. Gilmore will ' be glad to have for his Jubilee. One of the sweetest and tenderest idea." suggested by Mr. Bull's rescue of his fiddle is that, in the absence of Mrs, Bnll, he sleeps with his dear Cremona; and so the uew composition may open witn a lullaby, deepen- into a hurri cane, and end as God pleases. l.K.WW. is nii: l UT.

The negro ran about one hundred yards and fell, when Temple went.up to him, put I be muzzle xf his gun to his head aud discharged the other barrel, blowing his brains out. Temple was arrested and examined. The evidence showed that Smith had been employed iu Temple's lion- in making fires, aud while in his 1 daughters' room took oc sion to use insulting language towards them, aud afterwards boasted around of having criminal connection with them. This was told to Temple, who is very deaf, and of a nervous excitable tempera ment. Coning suddenly upou Smith, he shot him under an ungovernable impulse.
