April Is upon us, aud tlio blggost pieco of fouling we know oris tho way in which tho weather introduces tho genial month, for it rains to-day oasier ond more persistently than it has before for a twelve month. The weather seems to have dampened the ardor of all the mischief-makers, for we hear of very few practical okes. This soaking rain discourages enterprise In that direc tion, though Herman's little boy, Sampson, did manage earlyjln the morning to make a 'bale of Seth Hammer, .'butv the boy hadn't been up .long ouough.lhen to be squelched fey the cllniaio. ( Wolliad rather a rough practical joke jplayed on us by a great Portland bouso that Uta made about a million dollars out of ad vertising,, which sent us np a card that was calculated to serve their turn for a whole season, aud which muet have cost tbem nights ol study, and for why they.'offore'd us ana dollar for one month. We dropped that Jboute a pubtal card reminding; tbem that it was a national anniversary celebrated by practical jokers, and ottering to buy a buggy of them on the same terms. - In the absence of sensational matter of cur rout date to uiako montion of wo (.hall have to tell a good thing whiou happened at the Penitentiary two years ago, narrated to us fcy Mr. T. B. Jackson. It is usual lor War den Holtzelaw to try tho shackles each day and Roe if they are sound. This be docs by taking a hammer and striking thorn, as tbo prisoners file by, and lift a foot, each one for tho test. Ifthey ring right they have not boon tampered with. The "happy lamily" had potnemay prepared lor mutual action and the circle continued until tnos: bad made the third appearance. When a tail fel low 0 feet J inches high, cime up for tun ehiid trial, tho warden said: "Haven't I tried you before?" ""Yes, judge, about twice, but Ibis is the flr&t of April," was the reply, and the otllcor found no had been made the victim ot a vtrv neat practical Joke vory soberly executed. obituaky! Uoalia Mulkey, d inghtor of Da Id and Mulkey died March 20.li, 187. near Smith's Ferry, North Santiam, Marion couu cy, Oregon, agod 20 years and 27 days. Sho totitracted a cold which settled upou her Jungs, and finally culminated in consump tion. Though alltcted abctit 2.1 mouths, and at times buil'drlng intensely, sho boie her uflering with marked patience and reiigna aion. For a fow days belore her death her pains were excruciating, but her last hours wero free from suffering and stio parsed away liko one goingto sweet sleepand pleas sat dreams. Rosalia was an obedient aud amiable daughter. Tho oflllcted family have tho sympathy of a large circle of .friends. Though she never made a public profession of religion, yet she left the impression on 4uo minds ol those who conversed with her upon the subject that she hoped througli the cneiitsof Christ to find a home in heaen. Though she has gone from earth we can 3ng with iho poet "Yet again we hope to meet theo , Whon the day ot life isjflod, Th6re in heaven with Joy to preet thee, Where no farewell to us is said." Tho writer preached a short funeral dis course at the house ot Mr. Mulkey from Col. 3 1. Wji. Cai-i-s. Siwlimty, Marion Co. Ogn, March 25,lS7o. i S. Missouri papers please copy. Tncoiu'oratkd.

Myers, of the Santiam bottom, as in corporators of the Fairvlow Storage and Ship ping Company; capital, 51,000; whose object as to build a warehouse on the Willamette uriver, just below the mouth of the Santiam, -near tbo warehouse of Henry Ankenv, on iaud purchased of Mr. J. F. Backensto, of Albany. They will have the same ready for use belore harvest. Marion County c Taxes. The total Amount of taxes paid up to noon to-day amounted to fGo,313.82 and we judge by the' look of the tax book that rather a large de jidoocy remains uncollected, which of course is due to the fact that times are bard and money scarce. The tax collectors have jiono their duty and the tax payers are at sum. The taxes nereatter, are uue witn Help Those Who Suffer. Charity, In this beneficent land, dceK not havo freqnont euough exercise to "corr a multitude of sins," but wo are glad to notice meets a response whenever It Is uiliod upon. Thoso who do good works are fully as, If not moro worthy than those who merely give when asked. Mis. Johu Holman, whose heart is "open as tbo day to melting charity" presented to merchants aud others tho claims and neeossltiea of a family in our midst that is suffering and needy, alllicted sorely and unable, as customary, to provide fbr their own wants, and sho expressed such pleasant gratitude for the willing response to her ap peal that we takoj)lcasuro In. making Jcnown that whentiuch ah object is suitably pre sented our citizens generally inako a willing contribution tor every good cause. It should not be that any sutler amoug us for wo have abundance and to spare of all that Is essential to mere life and comfort and calls for relief are not over numerous not nearly so lrequent as in all older countries. Saw MiU'Changes. The Capital Lumbering Company baa pur chased tho, saw mill interest of Mr. J. H. Mooros, known as the South Salem saw mill. The purchase Includes all the machinery of the South Saloin mill, largo engine and boiler, running gear, saws and planer, also the stock of logs now on hand. Tho intention of tho Capital Lumbering Company Is to add the power of the other mill to the one in town and so Increase its crpauity as to be able to cut 20,000 to 25,000 feet of lumber in ten hour?, which will be an addition of oue belfto the mill' presont ability aud make its capacity equal to the Portland mills. The plauor will also be incorporated in tholr present mill. Tho grist mill at South Salem remains witn power attached aud will bo carried on as here to "ore. Instevd of being a "consolidation" as re ported, the transfer is a bona fide site, which howover does not include the ground aud buildings ot the South Salem property. ,, if these officers are minded to charge "but we don? like to be too no S live .the legal 3 per cent allowed them on the ""''J "J? we aout llKe 'w D6 to P"lV8 .delinquent list.

The silver wed ding of Mr. and Mrs..QIlbirt was'postponed until this evening on account of the bad weather a wook ago. There will be no post ponement this evening but many friends will drive out to their charming residence and celebrate the Important event with appropri ate ceremonies and festivities. It is a nice place to go to, especially when they are "on hospitable thought Intent." Mr. Gilbert was Deacon Gilbert when he was married, twenty-ffve years ago, and baa been growing less "deaoonly" and more youthful ever since, and in the year 1900 wo expect him to be fresh as a full blown rose (we came near writing "a well blown nose.) The trnth la that some wives keek a man in suob good humor that he never oan grow, old and that Is what alls tho "gentleman referred to. .. ' v 1 V" Hosiery Works to Start Agaw. We learn from 'Mr. A. L. Sttnson that he Is pre paring to resume operrtlons with the Beaver Hosiery Company at Jefferson, and will probably be at 'Work) by the middle, of thij) montu. It would really seem, that such a manufacture as this ought lo Succeed in Ore gou if any work of the kind can be carried on here and wo hope that tho enterprise may prove successful and continued without stoppage wheu It shall again be resumed. Statu Manufacturing Company. We learn from Mr. T. II. Jackson that the ma chinery for manufacture of boots and shoes at the State Penitentiary has arrived aud, is now on the ground. Stock has boon received for tnakln boots and shoes Bnd work prep utiou is now going on. He thinks the man ufictnro will commence In two woak. r Gas Light. The Court House at Albany Is to have one of the Union Gas Company's machines furnished. The Court IIouso here will be ready to light with the new gas on Monday evening next. Mr. J. L. Parrish has a machine put up for use in his house, which is Just outsldo the city limits, north east. The weather Is fitful to-day and some of Its "spells" are decidedly uncomfortable. Those snow squalls are very dramatic to look at through a window and very nasty to eu couuter outside. The blue sky is grateful to behold as we have not much cerulean In ours of late, but it does not remain as a poi manent investment. OrricKRs Ulected. At a rogular meeting or the Alka society, of the Willamette Uni versity, the following officers wore elected : President, James C. McCully; Vlco Presi dent, L U. Wells; Secretsry. Frank M. Mo Cnllv; Censor, Robert Harrison; Librarian, Charles Hulin. -Received Injuries. We regrot to learn that Mr. W. L. Wado receivod a bad hurt two days ago as he was gettiug out of his wagon. He fell on the wheel and was so badly hurt that ho is laid up and suffers a great deal, without making much appearance of improvement. Dr. A. M. Belt is on the steamer now due from San Francisco, and he is accompanied by his daughter Mrs. Huelat, and her child ren. Mrs. H. has not visited her old homo for about twolvo years and many old friends will bo glad to meet her once more.

Jackson, who baDpeued to lx) at the Penitentiary "yesterday, wo learn that two convicts, one named Wilson from Jacksonville and oue from Portland, made a .shrewd attempt at escape that was fortutate-i ly thwarted. They filled old clothes with straw and placed in their cells, lying on their beds, with hats on, and stowed themselves away outside, and just after supper they sraltid tho barrier aud went off.

The River. The big Willamette Is a sort of a conun drum as goes down and up and fills and empties at the same tlmo. This afternoon iho river Is up has got Its back up, for it backs up into every vacant place It can find, and probably dees it from motives of pru deuco to stand asido and let Its own mischief pass by. From the bide nooks and ravines it looks slyly forth on the dilfts that hav) been (,'ntherhig for years on the upper streams aud which it has turned looso to go ooanVvnrd.

Wreck of the Architkct Corrected Report. The Portland dallies contain fur ther accounts of the wreck of the bark Arch itect; which went ashoro on Clatsop spit, an account of which wo published yesterday. It is a trifle amusiug how stories come to bo chculated,for It appears that thecaptaiu's wife was not saved at all; in truth sbo was noton board .to bo saved, nor was the captain on board, so the etory of tho saving of the crew una to be modified to that xteiu. They for tunately remained over at Sau Francisco the present trip and so were saved the trouble of being saved. Unfortunately her detention was due to illness. The crew were saved as narrated yesterday. Cattix DriNu. Mr. H. Massey, who Uvea on the Polk county hills, Informs us that the late storm has been very hard on stock, and he pames losses as follows: He himself has lost 0 head; D. Gibson 11 head, and W. Wa ters 14 head, all in oue vicinity. The cnango in the weather, which is now warmer, will bj beneficial.

The weather Is " chopplug round" today, having "cut up" rather thor oughly In all the southern localities. We actually caught a glimpse of blue sky in tho north, and as we turn our "honest gaze!' over town we notice "the smoke that so gracefully dried" from the south for about a month or six weeks now Is wafted from the north, all of Which convinces us that wg are about to have u spell ot weather more or .less pleas The Silver Monday, Weddinff.
