W. to-day, piiblicu tbf address of. the Board of St.itistics, Immigration and Labor Exchange, tor which we bespeak the care ful consideration of the renders of the Statk.suax. The object is important to the best interests of the State. The people can iff.ini to tTicountrt it lv n bestowal if ninney in iu aid. und sli.m'.il use personal 'fiortn forjts ad7ancemetit. Tlie Secretary, Mr. Brake, writes tis us follows': " The La bor Exchange is now ready for business, au 1 will receive, and endeavor to fill or ders tor help, ot all kinds, for any part ol the State without charge.' There are always instances arising ot a difficulty to procure help in the various de- nartiiients of labor, the field, the house, or the workshop. We cull prticular atten tion to the fact that all such wants made known at the oflke of t'oe Labor Exchange, Portland, will receive attention. A si mi. lar system !uf been established in Califor nia, and proves a i:ret. convenience to those who wish to employ labor, arid it also tends topiovide speedy employment lor those who come strangers to Oregon and want to Rod work. Its operations must prove a public benelit. "Repudiation. There are many ways of repudiating our National obligations. If any one doubts the proposition, let him devote a small pro portion ot time to the reading of Demo cratic editorials, and make an effort to fi vth oin any of the various financial schemes suggested and advocated by the solons of Democratic finance. "Jhere are some Dem ocratic journals who plainly advocate re pudiation in the broadest sense ; they want to make a clean thing of it ; to draw the sponge over the slate, obliterate the debt at one sweep, and thus render the people, as they term it, " oflce more free and inde pendent." There are other nore states- . manlike writers and speakers, who know that such a course would be revolutionary, and too palpably dishonest to stay done when apparently accomplished. They pro pose to compel bondholders to exchange the bonds they hold for other bonds draw ing a much less rate of interest. Of course no man would he willing to give up inter, est legally tb-.e him and accept at less rate. If such a result is attained, it will simply be as an expedient to avoid practical and entire repudiation, and while we are about it, if bullying creditors is to be the game decided upon, we may as well go the whole figure proposed by Pomeroy's Democrat and tho Eugene Guard, and many other pa pers East and West, and bully them out of the w hole amount at once, which is prefer able to following out the Democratic scheme of making two bites of a cherry," for cer tainly the second repudiation would bo as proper and legitimate as the first. Wo certainly do not want the nation to pay debts it does not owe, but the national debt has all been audited nnd pissed upon, and the nation's promise solemnly given. The issuance of notes and bonds, which have changed hands many times since is sued, places tho question of debt beyond the chance of doubt. If the bonds can be legally taxed, then tax them. If bonds can be issued and find sale at less rate of inter- . est. issue them ami sell them, nnd buy up those extant drawing higher interest. If the currency notes can be redeemed with gold notes at their current value, let us re deem them so. Let us curtail expenses, re duce taxation (as Grant is doing it), save the people every dollar we can by honest and skillful management, but let us as a people bold our name, credit and standing above the contempt that would be poured on repudiation. Bankruptcy may be the result of vice or folly, and yet be tolerated; repudiation can only follow deliberate, con temptible dishonor. An Argument for Free Trade. We have received from the publication office of the Western News Company, Chi cago, a translation from the writings of M. Bastiat. a distinguished French writer, whose aim was to controvert the theory of a protective tariff and advocate the prin ciples of free trade. The work has an able preface by Horace 'White, editor of the Chicago Tribune, and and may be received as one of the most powerful arguments ever made on the important question dis cussed, for M. Bastiat was counted, in his time, as one of the ablest writers on politi cal economy. Tfce work before us is a compilation from his writings, a well print ed volume of four hundred pages. The question of free trade or protection will enter greatly into the politics of our nation in the near future. One of the anomalies of the day is the fact that New England, long the great pleader for protection, ap pears to have become converted to free trade principles, while in the past her great manufacturers have deemed their very ex istence, and centainly their prosperity, de pendant on protection being granted to tosler home industries. It seemed necessary, in the early effort to establish manufactures upon the American continent, to foster their growth and devel opment by a protective Fystein, discrimi nating in their favor against imported gooda. During the last twenty five years ur population has so increased, our in dustries have been bo perfected and devel oped, that we approach much nearer to tho character of European society, and have a larger and more reliable working popula to carry on the great industries of our day. If we are able to manufacture and com pete with all nations in the marts of com merce without degrading labor to the level of European poverty and ignorance, then we can afford to have free trade with all the world ; but we cannot afford to adopt the system, if, by so doing, we must nec essarily bring the standard of wages down to the pitiful sum paid labor in older lands, or if another alternative will be to drive every manufacturer to ruin and make us dependant upon the products of other na tions. It is not the money 4 man earns as wages merely, it is the comfort he can com mand with it that makes him satisfied. It is the system that will make the laboring nmn comfortable and independent we should foster, not that which Vill make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The ad vocacy of the free trade is at present Con fined to do section and to no party. It may result in a reorganization of all par ties. VOL. 19. West Side Eailroad. The Oregonitnx reports the work as pro gressing favorably on this road. The grad ing done last year remains in good condi tion, having been done in elegant style,' only a few small patches of cuts remain to finish, which are no great job. On Aug. 1st the Company resumed work, and at last accounts were within a half mile of IIiHs boro; will reach there early this week when the grading force will return to finish one mile and a quarter of track lying between the work done last year and this. Ibis por'ion required a cut of 3 to 1 feet on part of it. and on part of it a fill, by the first svrvev ; but a re-survey locates it so as to avoid trost of the obstructions and difficulties. There is 1.500 feet of trestle work to be built on the work done this tall: a force is already at work on it. Contracts for ties are let. and many are already pre pared. The force now employed will com plete the grading to Hilisboio in two weeks and the whole twenty miles of grading con templated will be completed within a month, if the work proceeds without hin drance, accordi!.- to expectations. The Company has certainly made great and suc cessful progress, and when we consider that so much has been accomplished by- means of their own resources and without foreign aid, we see no reason to uuuui, ma by prudent management and moderate use of borne capital, to grade the roads we need, our State could secure an early con struction of valuable railroads through the settled districts of Oregon. ANNUAL ADDRESS i J L.S. tkn At Iiinn Cuny Fair, delivered Fri day, Oct. 1, 1SGO. MY UKV. E. K. GEAKY. Our Albany correspondent has forward ed ns a full report of the excellent address of Mr. Geary, parts of which we are ob liged to omit for want of space : Citizens of Linn. At the close of another abundant harvest, such as a bountiful Prov idence has never failed to bestow on this beautiful and productive valley, we find i,,m..irM amidst the festivities, reunions and generous competitions of our twelfth Annual lair. it. is cm laiuijr special commendation, that a society f,.r the promotion of industrial interests should have existed so early, and should now be an established institution of a region but a little over a quarter of a century ago the undisputed domain of savages. N bile the history of the enterprise which impelled the pioneers of Christian civilization, ot agriculture, manufactures and commerce, of civil and religious lights and liberties to the Pacific shores shall be read, this fact ought not to be undervalued nor lorgotten. Agriculture, manufactures and commerce, are the world's thiee great branches ot Trn.niptive industry. But of these agricu- tnr u the nursinz mother, the basis of wealth and prosperity. The plow plays t! leading part in the creation of values, even in commercial and manufacturing countries. Of this tact tho British Empire affords con vincing proof; for excelling all other na tions in commerce and manufactures, which are the basis of her power, yet nearly three fifths of her net revenue is derived from her agriculture alone. This single fact es-t-1hlkh..s the oredominance ot the agricul- tnrsil element in the wealth of nalious. In the United States this pursuit employs largely more capital and labor than all others combined, marks most signally the progress of our nation in wealth nnd power. Three-fourths of the people have rural homes, and in nearly that proportion cultivate the soil. The engagements of the people then, being largely agricultural, suggests t!ie true estimate to "be placed on this species ot labor. Canals, railroads, electric tele graphs, the monuments ot our age; the members drawn from the overcrowded na tions of the old world ; the ships ;md seas and oceans; the steamers and hikes and rivers ; Hie minds and hands that invent and construct the implements ana eam-jes of utility and luxury, all are the servitors and handmaids waiting on agriculture. Without these she wouid indeed be shorn of her gliu-y and her power; but without her they would not exist. It the farmers of our country do not mainiain an elevated position if they wield not a strong social and political inlluence. if they possess not a just proportion of the consideration, emoluments and honors of the government and nation, tne lauu is not in their vocation ; for the Heaven ap pointed pursuit of over half mankind, on which all rely, cannot necessarily be de grading. , , Many of the States of Europe are lar in advance of the United States in agronomic education, and the marked improvement in their agriculture in the last tew years is chiefly attributable to, their scien tific and experimental instruction given in .fhnnU of this character. Over three hnn- ir.i u.ih sphoola ot various grades exist in Europe at present, the offspring of gov- eminent patronage ana pwwuc cu,.F. Fifty years ago agriculture in the United States was in a crude and unpromising con dition. The possession ot too mucu ium induced a carelecS and improvident system of husbandry, from wnicn mauy 01 iuy Hut iwtrtiriiin lif the country are just begin ninrr t,r rof,nrir. The careful and scientific study of agriculture as the foundation of a wise system of political economy, was at that time a meager part 01 me an American statesman. The great law that the soil that feeds us and supplies the material .f nur clothimr. must itseli be leu was only understood alter a wretched sys tem had rendered millions of acres unpro ductive, ami in many of the Southern States an abandoned waste. ' , A flood ot light has been t-hed on me workings of nature, the economy of animal life and the vegetable productions of the earth ih iimtivr culture ana tne presei- vation of the soil, and the application of mechanical forces and chemical agencies to the industries of life, insuring largely to the wealth and influence ot our nation. Our Becular schools Kre far more practi cal than formally ; and it is felt more ana more that our sons and daughters should be educated to, Dot from those pursuits, in which their lives can be rendered more useful to themselves and others. Agricul tural and scientific papers and magazines, reach multitudes and produce the most sal utary effects. Improvements in agriculture and the arts are sure to attend their care ful perusal. To attain nnd preserve a just standing in the respect of the world, our young larni ers must be as well educated as those des tined for other callings Well trained niiods will secure well cultivated fields; soils treated in tho light of science and expen ence will be made to double their produc tiveness; and, as the implements of hus bandry are more and more improved, there will be a corresponding diminution of that depressing toil that enervates the thinking function and indisposes to its exercise. The agricultural class, intelligent, free, ana owning tne soil, are naturally the con servators of law and liberty the best de fense from outward peril, and best guaran tee against domestic troubles. Their con tribution to the support and resources of our great Republic, connecting and blend ing witn all .ne moral, social and political interests of the world, is moderately esti mated at $1,500,000,000 annually, and as I the support of all industries, and paying a j f .1... . IT....1 1.... I pit-puuuciciiwo ui iue lit.Yes. liusuauuiv, when she asks for the proper education of her sons and daughters, should never have her draft dishonored at the till of the na tional or State exchequer. Agriculture is the greatest, safest and most reliable of all bankers ; her bank is the richest iqcapital aud tho most wonder ful of all institutions. The more it is brok en the safer the jleposils and tke more ample the dividends. Farmers of Linn, citizens ot Oregon, you are favored stock holders in a most important branch of this grand bauk. This salubrious climate, these grassy plains and fertile fields, these wood ed bills and smiling, joyous streams that adorn this lovely valley are yours ; youro in trust for yourselves aud coming genera tions. Farmers of Linn, this beautiful and ex panded amphitheater of ours was, the oth er day. called by a distinguished visitor, the agricultural gem of tne Pacific." It is often called, and justly I believe, the "gari'en.of Oregon." He who gave a fair er' garden to our great prim genitors has given this to us as to them, "to dress it and keep it." We have u fertile soil and a sa lubrious climate with the' adjuncts of use ful animals, plants and minerals, and com mand the implements and means ot abund ant productiveness. What we want is pop ulation to produce and consume our staples; capital anu facilities of communication with the marts ot our commerce. To obtain these we must commend ourselves to the intelligence, wealth, enterprise and wants of the world by our industry and public spirit; by our wisdom and evaporation; by exploring resource after resource; by making each attainment introductory to others and each step of advance the means of still further progress. To illustrate my meaning, how easy for the people of Linn to have a school secure largely to their children the benefits of an agricultural ed ucation. What better could this Society do than just here on these grounds to es tablish an experimental farm'' With your resources, people of Linn, how easily could you buy proper apparatus and endow two professorships. The right men being in the right place they might teach oue term the least busy ot the year in the scientific and agricul tural departments of tho college, and spend their remaining time in lecturing in the vil lages of the county or valley, thus teach ing all and giving a salutory impulse to in dustrial auii agricultural pursuits. Or, as a second illustration, let us imi tate tbts enterprise of those sagacious men who have poured so much wealth and thrift into our State Capital. A tew thou sand dollars, judiciously expended in a ca nal without level or lock, will pour the South Santiam an ornament r.nd a gain to the district it would traverse to propel your mills, a hundred lathes and a thou sand spindles in Albany, or perhaps if .she waits, to be waked by the whistle o some other eligible point. The contributions of enlightened co-operation, equal to one and a half per cent, oil the assessed valuation of the count', would suffice for the acocmplishme.it of these undertakings, and would, by attract ing population and capital, by giving pro ductiveness to investment, by expediting the construction of railways before live years, add fifty per cent, to the general wealth. Think of a single result. Let the pro posed canal have depth, width and grade, proper to float rails, timber and lumber in small rafts with the current, and at once thousands of acres of timbered lands would vie in price with the open prairie. Furthermore let the unappropriated lands of the foot hills and mountain slcp'es be donated to hardy American and European settlers who will cultivate them, and 1 be lieve such a policy would be like trans muting the rocks into gold, a source ol in calculable wealth. But let no corporate body nu nopolize the soil. Every addition al hand and mouth, and acre brought into use makes the country richer. Fellow citizens, let us address ourselves with enlightened sell.interest and earnest co-operation to such enterprises, and Ore gon will soon emerge from her isolation anil commercial depression. It is an aphorism as old hs history, that "Heaven helps thosw who help themselves." Thus. loo. we secure human aid. J have no doubt that men ot sagacity, nerve and capital will look upon such achievements as those suggested as the best ol subsidies and the most valid of guarantees. Such enterprises will unlock and attract the treasures ot wealth ami credit, ana secure the building of a railroad, annihilating lime it not distance, and restoring us to the neighborhood ot the older States. Two orxfiree summers snore and. Heaven permitting, we will go to assist at the uiiv in of the last 1 he gulden spike that will unite us to that great .work already done, that now binds in commercial and political union the Atlantic and. Pacific shores. The Champions ok Bask Ball We find an interesting sketch of the champion Base Bailers, the Bed Stockings Club of Cincin- natti, in the San Francisco Herald, and sur mise from the account of their successes that they would be willing enough to meet the Portland Pioneers if ihey could conve niently spare the time : The celebrated Nine of the Red Skick ings are named and placed as follows : Harry Wright, Captain. Centre Field ; A. B. Braiuard, Pitcher; George Wright, Short S'op; A. J. Leonard, Left lield: Jred Waterman. 3d Base ; Charles Swesy. 2d Base; C. A.McVey. Right Field; I. Alli son, Catcher; 11. Gould. 1st Base; 0. 11, Substitute. A., P. Champion, President of the Club and John P. Joyce, Secretary. The Red Stockings played their first game in 1869, on the 4th day ot last May, at Cm cinmti. and left for the Eastern cities on the 31st ot that month, returning July 1st having played twenty full games and four parts ot games, when toe rain mtertered Thev have now played in all, fortv-five games, being victorious every time, and in those games they made 1,777 runs to 509 against them. The smallest score was with the Mutuals , jn xew y0rk city.'standing 4 to 2 for the . je( stockings in 9 innings, which was the smallest score ever made. The largest score was played with the Buckeyes, of Cincinnati, standing lOj to 8. Mancfactcres at the South. The late exposition ot textile fabrics at Cincinnati revealed the fact that the South is making wonderful progress in the manufacture of the raw material which s he producos in such rich unrivalled abundance. The asso ciation under whose auspices the exposition in that city was conducted, in its reported res olutions, spoke of the unexpected and varied excellence of the goods sent from the South," and appears that Georgia already has 21 cotton mills and North Carolina 17 Virginia and Tennessee have each 10 ; and Alabama, and South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas and Arkansu all have more or less. And it is only the begining of a movement the growth of which will be co-extensive with the wealth acquired from the crops. Before the war, the planters' surplus was invested in slaves. Now, it finds its way into manufactures, which promises hence forward to be the popular form of invest ment, and tho Southern peopie enterpris ingly propose to be their own manufac turers. Three hundred and fifty-two thousand five hundred and sixty-five emigrants ar rived in the United States the year ending June 30, 1869. ? , f i SALEM. OEEGON, THE CITY AND COUNTRY. Hatardar, Oct. 3. Mahrikd. At the Christian Church in Sa lem, Sept. 30, 1869, by Elder S. C. Adams, Mr. C. C. Hunsakcr to Miss Ann Schwatka. Those who want good photographs should remember that thirf pleasant weather is the time to have it done. When the rainy season commences tho picture season ends. 1 I ? the ladies have not read Mrs. Howell' advertbu-ment of Millinery, and fall styles, just i - e. ived by her, tbev had better examine our columns this morning. I Mr. John Gilbert, of Gilbert Bro's, returned overland from San Francisco on Thursday, and ho assures us that ho has the best and largest stuck of gents and ladies' boots and shoes ever brought by him to Salem. Magazihe, for October. We have re ceived, direct from tho publishers the princi pal magazines. Putnam's with its usual as-, sortmen t of class reading, varying from grave to gay ; the Overland Monthly is at hand, maintaining with its usual talent the ability of the Pacific coast to supply the world with first class magazine literature. Harper's also, has its usual great variety of illustrations and agreeable reading and gossipping. Thk play of " Fanchon, tho Crieket'which is to be produced to-night, has had a remark ably successful history, and caused a greater sensation than almost any dramatic production of its character in modern times, having run every night for almost an entire season, at some of the leading theaters in Xew York. It is especially calculated to call out the strong points of Mr. Carter's excellent company, and must give satisfaction. Theater. Last evening was produced Wes ton's popular and startling tragedy, in threo arts, entitled " Lucretia Borgia," which was first produced in 1S44, at tho St. Charles The ater, New Orleans, and has held the boards ever since as a popular drama, in which tho public never tires. This is one of tho most tragic qf tragedies. The interest of the horror culminates to the cud, for it reproduces in vivid and exciting life-pictures tho crimes and the infamy of Lucretia the Poisoner. Mrs. Carter assumed with success still another role last evening, in tho character of Lucretia. Mr. Carter appeared as Genaro, her son, of whose existenco her husbaud was ignorant. Mr. Bates was the husbaud Duke. Mr. Barry took, in an accommodating wa-, tho minor part of Jcppo, a courtier. Mr. Morrison did good justico to the part of Gubctta, the right-hand man of Lucretia, and the assassin of the play. Miss Cunimings, as MaSio, a courtier, was well received. We cannot express any satisfaction in witnessing such a sensational tragedy as Lucretia Borgia, but its successful execution shows tho power of this talented company. To-night wo arc to have Fanchon tho Cricket, one of the liveliest, pleasnntc.-t and wittiest of comedies. A pleasant change from tho heavy field of tragedy. MundQy, Oct. ,'. Hellrnbrand, of the Commercial Restaurant, has our thanks for fresh oysters. Fise Weather. We are enjoying very fino weather now, and every one seems to bo in good spirits. Bad Roads. From a gentleman who came from Portland yesterdayv wa learn that the road is in a very bad condition. Di i,D. At Lebanon, Sept. 2i)t!i, of inflam mation of tho brain, Morns Howell, aced about 45 years. . ' Ax Opportunity. If any one is desirous of obtaining a small farm near Salem on very reasonable terms', wo would refer them to the advertisement of J. II. Chitwood. Rev. Mr. Butcher, late of Galcsburg, Ii!.,' will occupy tho pulpit of the Congregational Church this morning. Mr. Knight's lecturo this evening will bo on " the manners and cus toms of the Hebrews in tho time of Christ." Moving Off. The house west of the Bap tist Church, formerly owned by Mr. Hungatc, which was sold lately and purchased by Mr. Moore, who was so unfortunately burned out several months ago, is being moved on to his lot, to replace the dwelling burned down. Masonic Mirror. Wo havo received No. 1, Vol. 1, of a periodical so named, published in San Francisco, in the interests of Masonry on the Pacific coast, Amasa W. Bishop editor. It is a well printed, 32 page pamphlet, and evidently well filled with reading acceptable to the Masoniv Order. Tho late stago accident below Eugene City induces the driver between this placo and Al bany to call notice to tho fact tint two miser able bridges arc to be found on his rontu, this side of Jefferson. It is as much the duty of Supervisors to keep roads and bridges iu order as for the stage company to carry the passen gers safely, aul if accidents happen on such bridges, the counties should he responsible for ' damages. Bap Road. It is a fact that tho road on the Commercial street hill, south of the bridge, is becoming worse and worse, and is already unsafe for loaded teams. Yesterday we were obliged to notice the effort made by teamsters with whip and voice to keep tneir teams in motion. It may be that the Supervisor has no means in band to haul gravel on it ; if so, we would suggest the propriety of having some appropriation made by tho City Council to meet the necessities of the case. Medicinal Plants or Oregon. We have been shown this morning a very fine prepara tion of the very popular remedies, Bear Berry and Oregon Grape, consisting of their active principles in the form of an alkaloid crystal, extracted by Dr. J. C. Grnbbs, of this place. This is a step in tho right direction. If we have plants possessing medical properties adapted to the peculiar diseases of onr communi ty, we should not only know it but have them in some concentrated form and in general nc. The moU enthusiastic reception is being given to the delightful Weather. Everybody entertains it and rejoices at meeting it, and laughs in the jolly sunshine. It is not neees-' sary to secure tho Wigwam for the accommo dation of this distinguished stranger ; this is the guest of the city and of every citiien, poor or rich, high or low, proud or humble all have as much pleasure in the autumnal traveler as the most favored. Such season is unusual, for the frosts nave not touched us yet. October has come and the fall fruits have mellowed without one icy breath to wilt the summer flowers or kill tie foliage. FEIDAY, OCTOBEK Church Notice. The brick church will be open to-day. In the absence of Rev. Mr. Adams, several gentlemen of that Society being expected to officiate. Gov. Wood will lecture in the morning, the services devolving upon hiin as an Elder in the nbsence of the pastor. Dr. Payton will occupy the desk in j the evening. Wo have never heard Gov. j Woods lecture on scriptural subjects, but im j agino that lie will prove a gifted there as else where. Unhealthy. Tho present season must be considered as remarkably unhealthy in this vicinity , billious fevers aro prevalent, severe colds abound, tho records of deaths shows an unusual increuso that marks the summer and fall of 1869 as a year by itself in the history of Oregon. Our physicians have a great deal of employment, and quite often their utmost skill is requisite to save life suddenly assailed. These ewly rains and recovering spells of sunshine do not seem unpleasant, but practi cal experience proves that the rules of Nature manifested in the regular variation of the seasons, conduces to health, and that any de parture therefrom, proves unwholesome and disastrous. In Memoriam. Inasmuchis the providence of our Heavenly Father has removed our be loved friend, Almira C. Holman, and since in her death we have lost an exemplary Chris tian and an earnett worker in every worthy cause; therefore, Remilved, That, as a Sunday School, we deeply deplore the loss of one whose varied en dowments, all devoted to the service of the Master, mark her as a ruost successful worker iu his vineyard; and that the memory of her consistent life shall aid us in gaining the haven she has already entered. RenOhed, That whilo we mourn the blighted hopes and promises unfulfilled in her life, so early ended, we remember with her that God's thoughts are not as our thoughts, and acqui esce in the dispensation which called her to finish iu heaven the work so well hegnn on earth. Jienoheil, That we oiler to those nearest and dearest the sympathies with which our hearts are filled, and feeling that their loss is our loss, we will with them seek con: fort in the promise which to her is fulfilled, " The pure iu heart shall tee God."

Tho County Court for Marion j ; county, is in scssiou this week. Real Estatk Sold. Jlr. Wm. Buvidson, real estate dealer, Portland, has effected a sale of the valuable home property of Mr. P. L. Bradford, Esq., for $5,000. Those cranberries, ofTercl for falc by Cox i Earhart, aro of a first rate article, direct from the producers ; good enough for a King or for a whole family of American sovereigns. Judge Wilson started homo yostcrday morn ing, and will go immediately to Canyon City to hold tho fall term of the Circuit Court for Grant county .which commences next Monday, ; the 1 1 th hist. t Tho Wheatland flouring mills were started a few days since. The machinery works well, and the flour made is a superior article. The first shipment of 150 barrels was made on Saturday last. Uzafovage &, Wright have a largo stock of goods in their lino on hand and on the way, purchased in San Francisco by Mr. Wright. They advertise, to-day, banauas nnd sweet potatoes just received. Sri'KEMK Cornr. Judge Wilson left yestcr ; day for the Dalles, and Judge Kelsay had be- fore gone to attend to his oGicial duties: there I fore only three judges remain to constitute tlie j Supremo Court. The only business now on j hand is from the Fifth Judicial District, and j will be easily closed out the present week. Mr. I'attou's b'ock of new buildings, on j State street, shines out now clear of the scaf folding and presents a very handsome appear ance. Tho front is painted a dark brown, and the style cf architecture is so tasteful that its moro costly neighbor has no advan tage over its general symmetry and elegance. State street is decidedly looking up. For. the Orphan's Fair. Wc are request ed, by the ladic3 of the Children's Aid Socie ty, to give notice that all fancy articles in tended for tho Orphan's Fair, to be held on tho Stato Fair Grounds next week, should be left with Mrs. J. II. Moorcs or Mr. Joseph Hoi man. Any gifts in the lino of provisions, meats or poultry can bo left at Cross' market. Fixe FitriT. Mr. M. P. Owens has made an acceptable appreciation to this oflico of a jug of good cider and a basket of fruit, the latter being of tho finest size and quality, several varieties of fall pears and a lot of Seek-no-further apples. He intends to sup ply dealers a't the Fair Grounds next week with precisely such, and wc really think they need seek-no-furher if they want good cider and splendid fruit.. Accident ash -ArrRAV. We learn from Wilio Chapman, Esq., who returned Saturday evening from Albany, that on Friifay evening a person galloping around the - race-track was badly injured by the fall of his horse. The animal rolled upon him, and at a late hoar tho same evening he wits reported to be uncon scious and beyond recovery. Mr. Chapmau also .heard of a fatal affray at Harrisburg, in which one man was killed and another bad a leg broken. The names of the parties he eould not recollect, but they are said to have met at Lebanon some months since, and had a per sonal difficulty ; they again met at Harrisburg, with the fatal conaequeqoes related. Mr. Chap man attended the Linn County Fair on Friday, and reports the presence of many persons, and that many objects of interest were on exhibi tion, while they were all having a good time generally. Fanchon the Cricket is one of the most attractive plays in the range of the sensational drama, and it is a compliment to the taste and moral sense of the American public that it has everywhere been received with such genuine appreciation. The interest of the plot arises from the fact that an old woman obtains the reputation of being a witch, and her grand daughter, as a consequence, grows Tip in neg lect, a very sprite of mischief, and wins the nickname of ' the Cricket." The moral of the play is good, the sentiment excellent, and the character of Fanchon, represented as Mrs. Carter has given it to us Saturday and Mon day evenings, is most affecting. It is evident that she performs the part of Fanchon entirely absorbed by it so entirely that every word and act is as natural as if the part was a real life episode. The largo audiences witnessing it have responded to her beautiful acting with admiration, tesrs and applause. The parts 8, 1869. were all well represented, but Fanchon is the essential feature. The auditor will hardly re member any acting but hers, and it is not easy to see how hers could be improved. Mrs. Car ter excels in such personation. The parts that call out the finer qualities are always the best rendered by her. A Fanchon she won applause without criticism or du-soit:. Every one who witnessed it was deeply aneoted, and rejoicod to seo "tho Cricket" at last graduate as a first class bride. The play is, withal, a first-class comedy, and as such i alls out the U.st. acting of all tho troupe. Burry, as tho simple-minded twin brother, has a field for his best talent; but viewing it as a eomedy Fanchon is tho great character, and her delineation of ihe wild, impish ways of a child grown up uudcr the scorn of the rich and the suspicion of all, her fitful, weird impulses t and daring intru sions on those who scorn her, these offer to Mrs. Carter a field in which she is inimitablo and surpasses all her former efforts.

SUPREME COURT.' Luzerne Bcsser. respondent, vs. Cincin natus Shuliz. Mary Shultz and J. O. Haw thorne, appellants. This was a suit to foreclose a mortgage. In June, If. 59. James 1. Stephens sold Cin cinnatus Shultz, the defendant, a block in East Portland, took a note for the purchase and a mortgage on the block to secure it. This mortgage was duly recorded. June 211,185!). On the same day this mortgage was recorded the defendant executed to the respondent a note for $500 payable in two years with three per cent, per month, and gave him a second mortirace on the premises to secure it. This last niort- gage to Lesser was recorded ten days after the Stephens mortgage. In Novembe'r. 1S59, Stephens foreclosed his mortgage without making Ressev a party to the suit. On this decree the premises were sold and boucht in by Stephens, which sale was confirmed and Stephens went into possession under his Sheritf's deed, Shultz transferring to Stephens his equity of redemption. Sub sequently Stephens sold the premises to Col. White, who, alter putting valuable im provements thereon, conveyed the same to ihe appellant. Hawthorne, who put addi tional improvements thereon. Bcsser, whose note Shultz had never paid, brings this suit to foreclose bis mort gage, claiming the right to have the prem ises sob! and the proceeds applied : 1. To the payment to Hawthorne of the umottnt of tho original bid of Stephens at his foreclosure sale, in 1859, together with interest. 2. To the satisfaction of Eesser's note and interest amounting to about 52,400. X The surplus, if any, to go to appellant Hawthorne. In the Court below.the defendants, Shultz a.u" wut wtru lr-'aie non-resiaenis ana uii iiuit nu irni , inn ueieuuHiii. jiaw- tliotne, appeared and answered first, aver ring that the defendant, CineinuatusSbuitz, died in California long prior to the com mencement of this suit, and then setting up and claiming a complete title to the premises by virtue of tne former sale on the Stephen's mortgage. Besser demurred to that portion of the answer which set up ihe death of Shultz. This the Coi:rt below sustained. The case was tried upon the other isssues joined and a decree rendered in accordance with the prayer of Besser's complaint as above. From this decree the defendant, Haw thorne, appealed, assiguing ns errors 1st- That the Court erred in striking out that portion of his answer averring the death of Shultz. 2d. In not holding that the sale on the prior mortgage of Stephen's barred Besser of any claims to the premises under his subsequent mortgage. The Supreme Court nfiirmed the decree of the Court below in each particular, and held 1st. That a prior mortgagee in foreclos ing his mortgage must make a junior mort gagee a party to bis suit, otherwise a sale under such a decree will not affect his right to pioceed to foreclose and sell the nrem- ces again. That the purchaser, under such first saie. simply becomes Ihe equitable as signee of the claim of the first mortgagee, and holds a lien on the premises to that ex tent; that he also becomes the owner of the fee, Bub)ect, however, to the lien ot the junior mortgagee not made a party, and mat sucn junior morigagee is not confined to the remedy of redemption, nor is he compelled to resort to bill in jequity to re deem, but can proceed iu the ordinary way by bill to foreclose. 21. That Shultz having parted with his equity of redemption had no longer any in terest in the, premises, nnd was not, there fore, a necessaay party to the suit. Decree nfiirmed. J. II. Mitchell -for respondent, J. II. Read for appellant. - Salem, Oct 4th, 18C9. Decisions were rendered this morning in the following caes : C. A. Wilson appel lant, vs. the City of Salem, respoudant The judgment of the Court, below was modi lieu. The respoudant recovers by this decision $151 90-100 costs off of the ap pellant. Ileatherly. appellant, vs. Hartley and Owen, appellants, decision of lower Court reversed. Sherrott vs. PhilippL Judgment reversed. Hunter vs. i'araun. Plaintiff sought to enforce a parol contract for tbe convey ance of realty. Held tLat the contract was too vague aud uncertain. Judgment re versed. Giltner vs. Williams. Affirmed. XL Kalla. respondant,vs. Multnomah conn ty, appellant ; and Mulkey, appellant, vs. Benton county, respoudant. Tbe question in these two cases were identical. McKalla and Mulkey brought damage suits against their respective counties for injuries receiv ed by reason of defective' bridges in the public highway. Held that a county is re sponsible for damages sustained by reason of defective bridges, when it is apparent that the County Court had been negligent about repairing the same.- Tbe lacf of neg ligence is a question for tbe jury. The County, and not the Supervisor, is liable lor injuries sustained. Tho County may post notices warning the public of the dangerous character of the public high way, which will convey such intelligence to tbe traveler as will bar him fron recov ering damages for any injuries sustained by passing over the dangerous bridge. The case from Multnomah county was sus tained and tbe one from Benton county re versed. Moffit vs. Coffin, judgment of lower court reversed. Catharine O'Hara, respoudant, vs. City of Portland, appellant This is an action brought against the city for damages sus tained by respoudant by reason of injuries caused by defective sidewalk. The City Charter contains a provision exempting tbe city from psying dsmsgea in cucta cases. NO. 10. Held that the provision does not impair the obligation of contracts, and hence it is con stitutional. The case was reversed. The Court took np the cases from the . 5th District. In the case of Bowen et al., respondants, vs. Kmerson. appellant, a motion to dismiss the appeal was argued and submitted. Al so a motion to dismiss in the case of Simp son et al.. vs. Bailey et al. The case of the State, respondant. vs. McBean. appellant, was argued and submitted. The case of Lloyd Brook, respondant. vs. J. S. Ruckle, appellant, was dismissed on motion, because there was no appeal found filed. The court adjourned until 9 o'clock to morrow morning. GENERAL NEWS. Stauk Accidkxt. Wc hear of an acci dent to the stage between Corvalln and Eugene last Friday morning, and find tho following account in the State Journal. About four miles below Milliron's station, as the stage was crossing a bridge, it upset, throwing the drivtfr and passengers, iu a mass, breaking a man's arm by the name of Miller, and severely injuring a lady pas senger, a Mrs. Watson, and also Judge Kel say. who was on board. The passengers and mail were brought up by a wagou, and the unfortunate man's arm attended to by a physician. The lady and Judge Kelsay, the only passengers besides the man whose urm was broken, although both injured, will probably not be detained by the acci dent. Tom. Morgan was the driver, and was probably not to blame, as the bridge had gived away at one side and was unsafe, as we are informed by the gentleman who brought up the passengers and mail. C. A. BoniNsox has just played another of his practical jokes on the people of the Eastern States, by representing that he had "struck it big:' somewhere in Montana. He showed some very rich specimens of quartz, which he claimed he bad taken from a ledge ho had discovered. He organized a compa ny and charged each member a thousand dollars for membership. The company numbered thirty. Tbey started for the mine with Kobinson for their leader, but when they got near where the gold was supposed to be, their leader got lost, and the party never found him, and they did not discover that they were sold for some time after the disappearance of Kobinson. As the light began to dawn upon their minds, the party separated in different di rections, four of the number coming to this place, remained a few days and then went on via Portland and San Francisco home. The names of the four who were here are Alfred Wetberell. of Philadelphia, Fred Shreve. Bordenton, Xew York, Jos. F. Edge, Jersey City, aud W. A. Senion. Xew York. They are all men of raeat. and are able to stand it. This is not the first sell of this kind that this man Kobinson has perpetrated, as some in this city can testify. Walla Walla Union.
