Delayed the Mails.
'Delaying the mails," is the
oharge entered up against the
old horse which brings the cart
containing the mail bags from
the depots to the postofhee every
day. Yesterday at noon, when
opposite the foundry, he regis
tered a kick which lit on the
dashboard of the cart. Another
and another were registered so
fast that the mail clerk and
driver fell over the back of the
cart and laid down in the mud
to avoid punishment. Elated by
his success the old horse lit a
running, and as he swung
around the corner of Washing
ton street, ten sacks of maiLmat
ter bit the dirt. Westward the
gay nag took his way. Near
Jake Blumberg's he fell, skin
ning his legs and badly demoral
izing the harness. No great
damage resulted. The steed was
taken into custody, but the
afternoon mail was brought
down on the Occidental 'bus.

mals, particularly those of dairy
cattle, and horses, will receive
due attention. The principles
of feeding at d digestion will be
taken up and an effort made to
show that feeding for beef and
feeding fof milk are quite differ

leading breeds of sheep. These
animals will be used for illus
trating the topics under discus
sion. Highly Complimented.
The Albany Herald speaking of
the recent visit of a team of Macca
bees from that city to assist the
Corvallis lodge in initiatoiy work,
pays the (JorvaUis . Jvnigats this
compliment:
The Corvallis team is particular
ly to be commended for the careful
and adroit, manner with which they
put on the. work. They have called
themselves the"crackerjack team of
the state and Deputy Organizer O.
L. Rees, who was present told them
he had never known the meaning
of that term Until he saw the
work of that team. After the
initiation of the six new members,
the meeting was addressed by Dep
uty Organizer G. L. -Rees and J. S.
van Winkle. The Corvallis team
has won for itself a reputation as
royal entertainers and the very
pleasant evening was ended by the
Albany tent inviting the Corvallis
team to brine their matchless new
paiaphernalia and to come over to
Albany on the evening of Novem
ber 17, and put on the work, and
assist in initiating a class of 25
members. No pains are being
spared by the Albany boys to give
their Corvallis brethern a royal re
ception and a glorious good time.
