i i A 4 , ii rtpn Statesman AND UNIONIST. SALEM. FRIDAY, : : : : OCT. 15 THE CITY AND COUUTHY. V'Ineday, Oct. l.'t. Senator Corbett has lorwardcd to this ofiJfo volumes of the Congressional Globe containing full reports of the oroeecdings and debates of tho last Congress, which are duly appreciated. Bacox aid Labd. Messrs. Loguo Ad ams have on hand a Urge supply of those in dispensable articles, hcrtoforo so scarce iu this market. Xew Goois. Mr. W. W. Martin, jeweler and watchmaker on Commercial street, has just received direct from New York a large stock of elegant goods in his line, consisting of gold and silver ware, gold and silver chains. Mr. W. W. Sf.val infuruis U3 that he has been appointed as ag.:ut of the Immigration Aid Society of Oregon, at Portland, and he will be prepared to t ike up ulieritions and gather information for the advancement of the objects of that Society. Senator Corbett and his lady were expected last evenin ?, and al ter remaining a day or so in attendance upon the Fair, they intend to proceed overland by stage to California and then onto Washington. Those who may de sire to sec Mr. Corbett before he leaves will probably1 find this the la.t opportunity. Senator Williams is iu town with Mrs. Wil liams, and they occupy the first front room up stairs in Patton's new building, which is nicely furnished and offers a pleasant place for tho reception of their frie,uds. Thoso who have occasion to see Judge Williams on business, Jwill find him most of tho time there ready to receive them. It is a pleasant room of con venient access thu one adjoining the Bank. The World's Circus gave a fine performance las evening, to a. large .audience, on the Fair grounds. Tho entry of lions. Lambert into tho lion's den is one of tho most exciting eights " ever witnessed, that is apt to cause terror in the minn of every beholder. It must be Been, to bo appreciated, and of course everybody will lee it. The acrobatic and gyinnastio performances are far better than usual. Charitable. On Saturday evening last, Mr. Carter had a collection taken up, at the theatre, for tho benefit of tho family of Mrs. Williams, a widow lady with 8 children just across the plains, who are sick, destitute aud in distress. We made a mention of the case last week which induced Mr. and Mrs. Carter to go and see her. The result of the impromptu collection was $1(5, contributed by the audience which Mr. Carter gave in person to Mrs. Wil liams. Receipts op TncFAin. Up to last evening at dark tho receipts of the State Fair was as follows : Entry fees 850 Admittance fees 3,290 Including hack licenses received at Ilace 8tnnd 42 ' Total $4,182 Huxter and Show Licenses not reported. This showing is more favorable than that made at this early day, by any previous State Fair. Tom Thumb. Thursday and Friday of this week we are to have the World Renowned Lit tle Folks at the Wigwam. Everybody has heard of Tom Thumb, who made a most at tractive journey through tho United States over twenty years ago, when hundrcdsof thou sands went to see him and were delighted. - Sia then be- 1ms fend it wife as minute a . specimen of humauity as himself, and they two, with "Commodore" Nutt and Minnie Warren, two other renowned dwarfs, will bo bore and appear as one company. This at tractive company of petite humanity, have visited Europe and delighted Kings, Queens, and Emperors by their performance, for they sing rongs, perform character peices, and act comedy. Commodore Nutt is said to be one of the best comedians alive. Maximilian, the clever Magician, performs in the circus tent after every display by the troupe urfinishod. He has a great many sur prising feats of magic at command. Some of them never have boon seen here before. What takes here tho most readily is his rope tying performance, in which he unties himself in a minute, after having been firmly bound by mine person or persons in tho audience. This was done last Friday evening, at flriswold's theater, much to the delight of a large aud ience, winning unbounded applause. The Professor claims that this clever trick of un tying a knot is an exposure of spiritualism, as he undoes the most difficult knots before the audience, while spiritualism has to operate in a dark room. It is well worth watching, as are all his tricks. Theater. Last evening we had at Reed's ICew Opera House the beautiful play of the Honeymoon, which is certainly one of the most attractive within the range of the Eng lish drama, and composed in the highest style of liteaary excellence. A pleasant comedy with which no person can taice exception or make complaint. Mrs. Career has a fine scope for her talent and sueceded admirably as the proud beauty and afterwards tbe kind and obedient wife. Barry' shows in this piece in one of bis most favorable characters. All parts are well performed, and the play was a success . To-night we are to have Fanchon tho Cricket, the favorite play of the season. Mrs. Carter ia perfect in the part of Fanchon, and we commend our readers if they want to be amused and witness one of the finest plays ever written, to not fail to be at tho Opera House to-night. We have seen Mrs. Carter as Fanchon and we know what we are talking about. Weather for September. We have M. L. Pearee's weather report for September before us.. The clear days during the month were 3d to 0th, inclusive, tho 24th, 25th, 2fith and 30th total, 11. The cloudy days were 11th to 15th, iBclusivo, 23d and 17th total 7. Total number of rainy days, 12. .Total fall of rain during the month 4.77 inches. The wind blew from the north from the 3d to the 12th, inclu , sive, and on the 24th, 25th, 26th and 30th 14 days ; from the south on the 1st, 2d, 13th to 15th, inclusive, 23d, 27th, 28th and 29th 14 daays, and from the south east on 21st and 22d two days. It will be seen that the wind eamo from a foutherly direction every day that fain fell; During the month we had 3 foggy mornings, the 4th, 8th and 12th. The mean temperature from the 1st to the 8th inclusive, ranged from 59 to 67 dcg., and from the 9th to tho 21th, from 52 to 59 dcg., and from the 24th to the 30th from 52 to 04 dog. Tho high est temperature of the month was 67 dag. on tho 6th, ind the.loweat 5fdeg. on the 14th. This reiean for the month was 57 deg. The re port for the corresponding month of '68 shows 2 rainy and 28 elear days. The wind came from the north 27 and from the south 3 days. Highest mean temperature for the month, 63 deg., lowest 42. Mean for the month, 51. By this comparison it will be seen that although last September was wet, yet the temperature - was much higher than in the same month in 'ti8. As a result of this high temperature, we have a very line fall growth of grass, and cat tie will be in bettor condition to me'-'t the chill rains of winter than usual. Thursday, Oct. 1 J. The Capital Lumbering Company is now controlled, by Messrs. Forsytho, McCaslin fc Patterson, who have purchased tho jt.ock of Mr. Patty., N. Haas, Boot Maker, on State .Street, near tho Express office, has an advertisement in our columns, and is prepared to do good work at short notice. Mr. llaas is known iu Salem as a good workman . , Railroad Meeting. The Incorporators of the Astoria aud Salem Railroad, Company will hold a meeting this evening at T J o'clock in the room over W. II. Watkins & Co.'s Saddle and Harness Store on Commercial street. Married At the residence of the bride's father, in Waconda, Marion county, Oregon, Oct. 13th, by Elder T. M. Martin of Salem, Dr. V. A. Cusick to Miss Marcia A. Williams, both of Waconda. Tom Thumb, Commodore Nutt and the lit tle ladies are to be seen this afternoon at the Wigwam. Their entertainment promises to be one of the prominent features of the Fair week . The largo lot of glassware that T.oguo A Adams, on State street, have been celling so rapidly, though much reduced, is still in good assortment and for sale at the same low lig- ' Thu Pacific Hade, published at Mc.Minn ville, is at hand and contains a fair amount of well assorted reading matter and many lo cal items of interest. Mr. McPh'erson being State Printer, claims that all estray notices should be, by law, published iu his paper. TniEVES Abroad. There is a rather hard set in this region just at present. Sharpers abound as is proven by constantly recurring circumstances. We hear that one well known Oregonian lost his coat yesterday in which was a pocket book containing greenbacks and valuable papers. Every body must look out for the safety of what little they have to lose. 4 ' Receipts ok the Fair. The receipts yes terday as reported to us by the Treasurer were as follows : . At the Gate .....$l,77 4S0 ' Si .....$2,339 .... 4.1S2 ....$0,521 At the Pavillion At the Race Stand Total Received previously.... Grand Total Xo Jailor. Yesterday a man was arrested on tho Fair Grounds for disorderly conduct and brought to town to bo locked up in tho jail. When tho Marshall and his prisoner reached tho jail he found no one there to attend to the duties of tho place and so tho man was turi&l loose again. It is necessary to have a good police system and a jailor convenient, for there is a rough set on the Ground aud they must know they are to bo niado to behave. By the circus tent is a smaller one contain ing "the bearded lady," who gracefully takes your change; a man with full grown body, and whose limbs are liko pipe stems and use less, but who manages to get music out of a violin ; then thero is a Peruvian Llama .nd tho Alapacca goat, several moneys, some largo parrots of remarkable beauty and some other' animals of minor attraction. Outside thero is a very eloquent fellow, who spends his time telling people about these things. World's Circus. Mr. Wilson, tho enter prising manager and proprietor, who has beeu around the world as a showman three scveial times, has well earned for his wonderful exhi bition tho title of "World's Circus," because he has used his opportunities during his ex tended travels to select the best performers the world aflbrds.to perfect his attractions. He is being well patronized and we trust he will feel able to visit Oregon again in his profes sional careor. He gives a performance every afternoon and evening during tho Fair. The Annual Election of the State Agricul tural Society which took place yesterday, re sulted in the choice of tbe following gentlemen as officers for the ensuing ysur : President, Daniel Clark, Marion county ; Vice Presidents, B. F. Willoughly, Lane county, W. A. Mills, Yamhill county : Secretary, John Minto, Mar ion county ; Treasurer, I. II. Moorcs, Salem ; Directors, C. P. Burkbart, Liun ; J. W. Lewis. Clackamas ; B. E. Stewart, Yamhill; X. Xcw- (ton, Benton ; John Allen, Polk ; C..P. Bacon, Multnomah ; G. W. Hunt, Marion. Careless or Wicked. Wednesday morn ing, long before day, a policeman noticed a fire starting under the Sash Factory behind the Capital Hotel, and ran to put it out, when the other fellow who was enjoying the.firo and the originator of it, broke and ran away, leaving behind his pipe,' hat, and a package of eakes. The policeman extinguished the fire, which was built among the shavings and would have resulted in destroying the factory. He also appropriated the property left behind. It looks much as if the fellow might be an incendiary. Theatrical. Tho beautiful Opera House was thronged last night, and the many who were in attendance found out by the most pleasant proof, that Fanchon was all we prom ised them. To-night we are to have one of the finest plays ever written, Ingomar, which dates back in point of history to the daysof Grecian story and has all the charm of that classic age. We noticed that some very beau tiful new scenery was brought into use last evening. Following Ingomar to-night, will be tho Jealous Wife, a laughable farce in which Mrs. Carter appears to "great advantage. As Parthenia, in Ingomar, she is a great favorite. Casual Glimpse of th.e Fair. The weather has continued so fine that the people of Oregon have responded in unus ual multitudes, and the Fair is as great a success as the most anxious well wisher could have hoped. Yesterday we took an extended journey among the wilderness of camps scattered through the pleasant oak groves. There are some rude structures of lumber to which tbe proprietors make year ly pilgrimage, bnt the great majority of the visitors from abroad camp out, generally sheltered from the .weather by a comforta ble tent, and often the tent is a neat and tasty residence improvised for the occasion. Here is a family whose idea of comfort can not be satisfied with less than a tip top cook stove, and so it is in position. Along side, of this well satisfied group is one equally well satisfied aud as happy as can be, whose kittle ia boiling and meat frying over a fire built on Indian principles, three stones and a few sticks. So they graduate from grave to gay. from the primitive wagon cover to the capacious spread of canvass. The time will come when the grounds outride the high fence will bo laid out in lots and blocks and the camps will be required to conform to the lay out, and so leave plain tracks through the multitude of camps. One gets an excellent idea of the Webfopl nation by aucu a trip as we describe. The ' folks" are to be seen without any "adventitious aids of circumstance" to aid them. And then, too, the plow-horses are there as well as the plow-men. and the many teams hitched around the thronging camps show a great proportion of first class siock. There are horses hitched in the brush that might grace some 'of tho stalls inside-.. One win. Um lived many jiskw in On-goo can see that the care our V-opU' k to bieed good horses, has g:vatty improved our woi l.in and f4niiing stock. lusi.lt- !) Show (I rounds fife was pay and variegated; the crowds grew nil day yester ,.,y, will culminate, to-day. Throngs tilled the Pavilion when; the show is. ieellent. Art and fancy work excel nli lonner occa sions. The floral display. : too. ; greatly belter than usual. it Ut the people we wish to tell of now, and they were present at 4 o'clock, afternoon. to witness the great race, between Stiowllake, Jell' avis, and Jack Minor, in which; the beautiful Snow flake won. to the satisfaction of a host of admirers. Talk of abolishing- ibe trials of speed and you suggest the abolition of what the people come most of all to see, save that they come most of all to see and be seen. The race caused great excitement. The grand stand was crowded, all the sur rounding roofs were thronged, the fences were populated aud the sea of hats anil bonnets, variegated by gay shawl and champing equipages, was stretched on both cides of the track far in each direction. 1. was a gay and exciting scene, and as we glanced over it from the racing stand, we fully appreciated the fact that the horse is a great favorite with man aud his better half, and that the best of us enjoy the sight of a good run like that made yesterday. Friday, October 15. Messages uncalled tor in the Telegraph office for B. E. Snipes ami David Smith. Found. A lady's traveling bag. Tho owner can have the same by calling at the drugstore of McCurdy & Ginn, Sukpiuse Oats. We call the attention of the farmers to the fery superior oats raised by Mr. Dickinson offered for sale by him tit half the price the same seed now commands East. The Surprise Oats have a great rep utation which is evidently well deserved. The great World Circus continues to perform to large audiences and fully sustains its repu tation as the finest acrobratic show over given in Oregon. The lions' den attracts as much as ever, tho elown Castalo is splendid and tho riding is excellent. Mr. C. W. Royal is agent for the East Port land Nursery. He will be at Salem during tbe coming season, prepared to fill orders for any thing in his line. Mr. Royal was agent hera last season, and the nursery is too favorably known to need commendation. Catalogues will be sent on application. Lost and Found. A little French boy.'a grandson of Madame LaDran, beime lost on the Fair Grounds yesterday morning, and after wandering about until anout ten o'clock at night, he was found and restored to his friends by an officer of the Society. The little fellow, being unable to speak English, could not make his troubles known. Died In this city October 13th, at 9 o'clock p. m., Susuana, wife of Samuel Brown, and daughter of Charles Swegle. Tho funeral services will tako place at the residence of Charles Sweglo at 1 o'clock r. m. to-day. A NriSANCE. There are a crowd of Cayuse boys who try to ride the velocipcdes.and when their awarkwardness has attracted a number of ladies, they insult their ears with oaths and tho most outrageous obscenity. This occurs frequently, and if it were not that such char acters aro lost to all sense of shame we would threaten to publish some of their names. We have received a call from Mr. D. Lindcr nian the general agent for the Washington Life Insurance Company. He informs us that he has appointed, as agent for Oregon and tho Territories, Mr. W. Whitwell, whose head quarters will be at Portland. The Washing Ion is a first class Cornpanv, advertised in our columns. Mr. E. P. Cranston is agent bore. Receipts. Mr. J. II.

The most interesting feature of the day will be the running race, as Snow flake ibe winner of the race on Wednesday is ecured for the premium for to-day. Keed's Opera House was crowded last even- ing wiui seieci, aim appreciative miuience, which enjoyed to the fullest extent the beauti ful play of Ingjmar, in which Carrie Carter came out with great effect as tbe Greek hero ine, Parthenia. This is one of her best char acters, and she bad good supports, for the piece was rendered with excellent effect. Tonight' is set for Mrs. Carter's farewell benelit, on which occasion will be played the great trag edy of Lucretia Borgia, always a favorite piece on the American stage, being based ou a tragic portion of the Italian history. The eutertain meut of the evening will close with the very langhable farce of The Youth who Never Saw a Woman." The Tom Thumb Troupe of little people ar rived and delivered the first entertainment yesterday afternoon, repeating it to a crowded house in the evening. While all the perform ance is excellent, it must be confessed that Commodore Nutt performs several characters with inimitrtkblo effect. As a drummer boy he beats the long roll splendidly. He sings comio songs and does the most comical things imag inable. Minnio Warren is a beautiful littlo girl, 17 years old, or thereabouts, very attrac tive in feature, and only equaling in size chil dren of about 4 years old. The Commodore as tho "Crow" actually made children cry and grown ladies scream with fear at his comical representation, and as Captain of the army he Sing the comic song of the season. A Lady Huxteu. Mrs. Susan B. Anthony is in raptures with Miss Sallie Talmadge. of Columbus, Ohio, because Sallie and Gen. Custar and several British Noblemen were on a buffalo hunt, on the plains together, and tbe "lively Sallie" bagged a great big. humped back buffalo at two t-bots from a ColU revolver. The other ladies kept camp while the hunt was up, but the brave little Sallie rode straight at the herd and blazed away with the best of them. Mrs. Anthony wants to make a Wonians Rights champion out of the fair girl, but we don't learn that she has as much taste for politics as for buf falo hunting. ! Wasco Cocxty.

He claimed that if none of the public debt bad been paid since 1805, it would now amount to $3,200,000,000. in addition' to S35ti,0(),000 of notes in circu lation. It we pay $100,000,000 yearly, which we can do under tbe present system of taxation, the public debt will be extin guished in fourteen years.

Gen eral ButW tells thu following good story : While he was in command at New Or leans, a native of Louisiana was observed one day by a wag reading a etirriug pla card on a wall in a public street : 'Buy your shirts at Moody'.' The 'reader in quired of the was what that, nit-unl. 'Oh,' said the inker in a solemn tone, that in one of the edicts of the tyrannical Butler.' The LuuisUnian rcinaiked ; "But 1 don't want any shirts.' Well,' naid the wag, 'you'd belter buy a lew. It is the safest cours to comply with the order ; for Butler is a per fect despot, you know, ho the frightened Creole, sought out Moody and bought a quarter, dozen shirts. In due time a Paris paper arrived nt New Orleans, in which the facts were narrated as proving that Butler was both tyrannical and mean using his power to compel citizens to buv shirts of one Moody, who was undoubtedly bis partner. Thi-. Btkon Affair. An English clergy man, the Rev. trancis French, has written a letter to show that Mrs. Harriet Becber Stowe was not the only depository of the Lady Byron's so-called secret. At many successive periods Lady Noel Byron had Jully stated th cause of her reparation to many of her relatives and intimate friends. Bnt in nil these instances she knur whom she could trust, 'and.' French very sisnili- cantly adds, so far as I know, not one of them much to their honor, judgment, and propriety, has broken that profound silence and secrecy which so far us tho public is concernea. stiouia have been continued forever.' A great many people thought it a very singular fact that a comparative stranger ana a lorcigner should nave been made tbe sole recipient of so purely a do mestic revelation. 1 ostal 1 ei.kurapu. The Sacramento Urih-n, in noticing Gardiner G. Hubbard's lecture ou the postal telegraph system, de livered at the Senate Chamber, Saturday evening, says: "His arguments were clear ly set lorth, and were sufficiently numer ous ami strong to convince Ins bearers that the change- iu. telegraphy which lie advo cated would prove very desirable in the uniieu smiea." The admission has more force from the fact that tho Union has had all tbe benefits and advantages of a virtual monopoly of telegraphic facilities, being one of the Cal ifornia Associated press. But the Union Is now firmly built upon popular favor as an independent and able journal, and the hand of monopoly is uot needed to steady and guide its fortunes. National Hevenue. i Tbe Sacramento Union makes the follow ing statement : August and September the first quarter for the present fiscal year the receipts from internal revenue are reckoned at S I'.t.OUO.OOO. This would be at the rate of $1DG.OW).000 lor the year; but. aa the income iax swells the receipts' during the first quarter, the estimate lor the year is only $173,000,000. It would not uu bui prising. however, if this estimate were over passed ; for the increase of receipts for the last seven months mnst ue largely creuu to the vigor and honesty applied to the col lection under Grant, Bontwell and Delano. This energetic execution of the law will be continued, and may carry the collections for the current fiscal year up to the same amount as in 1367-8. w:hen, under the much higher taxes then applied, the internal rev enue receipts were S 190.(100.000. The year before thev were S2iO,J2!.474 ; and for the year 18G5-0. they uete S30.!0G Dot Since then tbe reduction of i xc bus lie Ml about S1C7,00U.0U() a year. 'Jie better triplica tion of the law "ought to have prevented a corresponding reduction ii) receipts; but during the year ISO'S -'.I ibe w'tisky ring and other allies of Johnson contrived to cut down the total reeeipu to Slu't.. 000.000, in spite of Rollins' vain call for eflioiency and honesty in his subordinates, and notwith standing tbe sudden advance of the receipts during the last four months ol the year un der Grant. A man from Minnesota arrived in New York some two weeks ago. and sent his wife and three children to a hotel while he re mained to get his baggage. Ou reaching the hotel, he found that his family were not there, and after a search of eight days dis covered that his wife and children had been convicted of petty larceny, and sent to the Penitentiary lor three months, lie applied to Judge McGiinn, who issued a writ of habms curpu.i. j It is reported that Judge Deiidy. at pres ent holding a term of the U.:S. District Court in San Francisco, will be called upon to decide whether Judge Hoffman is legally Judge of the U. S. District Court for Cali fornia. The point is that be was commis sioned as Judge of tho Northern District of California, which is not the Court over which he now presides. Appeal AViimIi i ii ton nml Idaho.

Tho Council stands G Repub lican and 3 Democrats. The Ilouso stands ubout epually divided, but it is thought that the Republicans will have ono majority. The correspondent of the Owyhee Tid 'trr, at Loon creek, writes that a new excite ment, has broken out seventy miles northeas of that piae, where Xate Smith is said to have ftruck a basin as extensive as Boisg.

The en- ginS with an omnibus attached, was run up and down an incline to exhibit its speed and the ease with which it could be controlled It went up the hill at the rate ol seven miles an hour and came down at the rate of nine. It turned ' in the road with far greater ease than if drawn by. horses, was pullod up instantaneously at the word of command, and even backed up bill. The dexterity with which it picked its way be tween strings of cart horses, omnibuses and cabs, and the doeility with which it stopped or turned whenever it was required, was marvelous. Another highway robbery has taken place at Clarks' Ferry on Snake River, the booty consisting of W. V. & Co.'s treasury box, containing $4,000. It is thought the robbers will be captured.
