Caji't III rt:n. There is no use talking,
Albany and Corvallis people can't hitch,
can't see anythh g in each othar worth
commending, they are at eternal out and
there isn't much use of their attempting to
plow together. The following li what the
77i says of the entertainment given by
the young people of Albany at that city last
week. The ladles who got up the enter
tainment there had their potters printed on
a boy's press and the Times man was mad,
and then he has about the same affection
lor Albany that we have for Corvallis :
'These who expected a program equal to a
company of professionals were pcrhapsdis
appointed ; their temperance melodrama,
The Hatchets, was very light and didn't
need much acting ; their llower drill was
very nlcelv rendered, and tl.ey got out, per
haps, all there was in it, while the singing,
by some, was net above the average, but
takingeverything Into consideration they
acquitted themselves very creditably and
are entitled to the thanks of our citizens, at
least, for their assistance in a charitable ob
ject, even if they fall short of their deserved
praise. A special train had been chartered
at Albany and over fifty people came over
and we hope they enjoyed their trip.
Hhownsvm.i.k. At the annual meeting
ot the B. M. W. Co. all of the old officers
were re-elected. This mill is in a very
prosperous condition. . ..There is said to be
a prospect there of the N. O. being com
pleted to Kugcne. . . . Itig preparation is be
ing made there for an exodus to the mines,
over which the excitement is increasing.
Ilrownsville people arc confident we will
have the biggest running boom in the his
tory of Oregon.
A Wiioppkr. Much dissatisfaction ia
expressed here from the fact that word has
just come from A bany that the democrats
have refused to divide time with the re
publicans in the coming county canvass, as
is usually' costoinary. Brownsville cit.
Orepouian. An invitation to the Republi
cans to divide time has been published in
the Dkmockat for nearly a month.
Rkmakkaiii Rki.ic. Mr. Pres. Bow
man, who lives oppsite this city, in Ilentsn
county, tells of being on a visit to his neph
ew's, in I'olk county and while there was
shown the head of a steer which his father
had in a team in crossing the plains in 1N47.
The horns have slipped off but Mr. Bow
man declares he would have known it was
old lake's (that was the animal's name.)
head by the shape.
Larokly Dkmocratic. On last even
ing Mrs. V. II. Caldwell, who lives about n
mile from the city gave birth to twins,
making a total of seventeen children now
in the family, the fruit of one marriage.
This patriarchal duti on the part of our
venerable democratic friend will be duly ap
preciated by democrats every where.
A Tank of Glass. Last evening n
young man of this city was leaning against
one of L. E. Blain's front windows when,
for some unaccountable reason, his head
went forward and a large portion of his
body backwards, breaking a large hole in a
$12 pane of glass. He has the heartfelt
sympathy of the writer, who Is quite handy
with bricks.
"I Wonder." This expression is heard
every few minutes on our streets In connec
tion with the commencement of work on
the Oregon Pacific. We are reliably in
formed that we know nothing about it; but
it is safe to put a post in the fact that the
road will go ahead some day.
Ciiinkkk is tub East A gentleman
recently from Philadelphia says that city
is as badly overrun by the Chinese
Pacific co.ist cities, and that, where saloon
keepers have given up their businesses on
account of the very high license now oper
ating in that citv, the Celestials have
stepped in and rented their places at as
high rents as the w hite men were paying,
Asc'UNsion Day. Yesterday was A seen
sion day and in the evening the incmuers
of Temple commandery No. 3, attended

An interesting mother's meeting was
held under the direction of Mrs. Edwards,
the evangelistic superintendent. Many
Important questions on the management
of children were discussed. This confer

I'.VKNIN; I'XKRCISKS.
We can scarcely speak too highly of the
music furnished by the (Jlce club of Eu
gene under the able management of Mr.
I., (j. Adair. The pieces rendered, so far,
are of a classical character and would do
credit to professionals.
The president Introduced Rev. Alfred
C. Kummer, of the Taylor street church,
Portland, who delivered a most masterly
address; it was scholarly, full of logic
argumentative and convincing. The con
vention feels under many obligations to
Dr. Kuininer for his timely aid.
Mr. Robb's graceful collection speech
brought a liberal return,
THURSDAY MORMNIi
The convention opened at 9 A. M. with
the usual devotional exercises. First in
order 01 uusiness, was the appointing e
the following committee on nominations
Mesdames Townscnd and Hatch and Miss
Newton, also Madam President as advisory
member.
A paper on nabnalh desecration was
' read, also the report of the superintendent
of fairs and public gatherings. This report
showed that an energetic effort had been
made to counteract the evils always
prevalent at these gatherings, and in many
instances, a gratifying success attended trie
effort.
A spirited and humorous discussion on
music finally terminated in the expressed
belief that "Our Country 'Tis of Thee'
and "Home Sweet Home" were more high
ly appreciated by the average American
voter, than all the classical music now
published, and that such pieces were yery
appropriate for public meetings,
luvenile work was next before the con
vention, and under this head a report of
the Baby Home recently established in
East Portland. The enterprise was heartly
endorsed by the convention, as such an
institution is clearly one of the Lord's pro
visions for hts neglected little ones.
The report of the Industrial Home
brought out many interesting remarks
upon the bcnctit to be derived train tne
establishing of these Institutions. The
one now established in Portland will meet
with the cordial support of the state organ
ization.
The state superintendent of jail and
prison work recommended this organiza
tion and asked tor the appointment ot 1
police matron in fortland. Closed witn
prayer.

After devotional exercises came th
report of the superintendent of unferment-
ed wine. Seventeen unions reported an

suggestions she recommended that some

The cvancelistic superintendent read
very encouratiine reports from the union
'llie finance committee submitted a sub
stantial plan for defraying the currant ex
penscs of the year, too lengtny, noweve

'I he superintendent of the department of
