LOCAL RECORD.
Fi.A; I'h KSHNTAruix.--About three
hundred invited g rests rushed into the
galleries of the Opera House lust evening'
on the occasion of tiic flag presentation to
F. Co. of this city. After an exhibition
drill by the Company Mist Mary Irvine
stepped to the front, accompanied by Mrs
Power with a flag, and in behalf of the
ladies of Albanv, in a very deliberate and
eloquent manner presented F. Company
with an elegant flag, one of the finest inthe
State, (which Is expected by every express)
shcsuld : "It is not necessary togivc utter
ance to sentiments of esteem and regard in
order that our friends may know that such
feelings exist in our thoughts. These are
communicated by means of nr unwritten
language. They are expressed without
artificial characters. They are known be
fore they are ever reduced to words ; and
yet from time beyond mention it has been
the custom to give expression to feelings of
esteem and deep regard by means of fitting
tokens as symbols of appreciative thought.
The ladies of Albany, with characteristic,
nbscrring powers, have noted with pride
the neat uniform in which Company "F"
has occasionally appeared. Feelings of
safety are awakened in looking upon the
complete stand of arms with which the
State has supplied the company. In com
menting upon the martial appearance of
their own sons, feelings of patriotism have
been stirred to fresnness of life and the de
sire has been awakened ta give formal ex
pression to their appreciation of the ser
vice upon which you have entered and the
devotion to your country's cause whic'i
you are manifesting. In noticing the en
tire absence from your ranks of that tri
colorcd emblem of our national life, they
have conceived the idea of giving cxpres.
sion to their sentiments toward you by
presenting you with this familiar emblem.
It is the same old flag that stirred to life the
patriotism of '76. That fired with devotion
the heroes who gave their lives in defense
of freedom. On the north and on the
south of our country it has more than once
waved in triumph over opposition. In the
midst of civil conflict, through fire and
smoke and baptism of blood, it has main
tained its way. God grant that in undis
turbed peace its folds may be ever and al
ways borne upon the breeze. But should
unseen danger awake the bugle call, while
in the freshness of your manhood you
stand in your ranks, we trust that the same
manly courage, the same noble self. sacri
fice, the same uncompromising courage,
will inspire your heartB and nerve your
energies to do and dare what our fore
fathers did." And then with a poetical ef
fusion handed the emblem to Capt. Irvine,
who had ridden swiftly from Crawfords
ville, thirty-live miles away, in the hot sun
of the afternoon to receive it. Capt. Irvine
in well worded sentences received the flag
on behalf of the Company. Then the large
number of guests took their seats in the
hall below and partook of n sumptuous re
past of strawberries and cake. It was one
of the most successful affairs in the history
of Albany.

MURDER AT ROCK CSEEX.
Result uf a Feud.
Some time ago we mentioned the fact of
a serious trouble existing at Hock Creek, in
tills county, in which the '1". onus Brother
had b-:en warned to leave the community
by a vigihinl's "committee of 13," on ac
count of an old feud tliut has existed among
a few of the inhabitants there for some
time. Such has been the feeling that
Charles and William Thomas have never
left their home without a gun in their
hands. From a gentleman who just ar
rived frum there we learn the particulars
of a tragedy in connection with the affair
that occurred there yesterday forenoon.
About 10 o'clock Charles Thomas left the
Fluke place, oil Mad Creek, (the Fluke's
arc on the county, jfor the I'ost oflicc,which
is situated at the west end of the new Me
hama bridge. lie had gone about half the
distancc,prohahly half of a milc.wlicn three
masked men rose up from the bushes on a
ledge above Thomas and fired. Thomas
returned compliments with one shot, lie
claimed that three shots were fired at htm;
but parties tit the bridge store say only two.
One of them took effect in Thomas's left
shoulder, going clear through his body
and coming out in a downward course,
breaking the collar bone. Thomas yelled
and ran for Muke's, while the neighbors
around the bridge and vicinity rushed for
the scene of the firing.cverybody instantly
I understanding what was up. No clue or
iracc iv me assassins couiu DC xounn. wnc
of the Fluke's, with whom the Thomas's
were stopping, ran swiftly to a neighbors,
who was suspected of being a vigilant, but
found him peaceably weeding cabbages.
Physicians at Stayton were despatched for,
but had not arrived when our informant
left. The wound is thought to be very
dangerous if not fatal, llcretofoie the
Thomas brothers have always gone to the
Post office together ; but for some reason
Charles went alone on this occasion. In
tense excitement prevailed. A majority
of the citizens do not approve of the con
duct of the Thomases hcretoforc.nor of the
affair generally ; but this will naturally
give them sympathy. In the neighborhood
is the Post olficc, run by Mr. Robertson, a
store nt the cast end of the bridge in Marion
county, and down on the O. P. a saloon run
by J. E. Sorbin.and nearby several farmers
homes. In days past the" Thomases have
been in many quarrels, and from some of
them the tragedy has resulted.
The above is a rough draft of the scene
of the shooting, the star being about the
point of the tragedy. The main stream is
the .Santiam, aud the bridge can plainly be
seen crossing it, with the store at the north
and tha Postoftice at the south. Mad Creek
is at the right, with Fluke's house cast of it,
while Rock Creek is in the west. The O.
P. runs north of the bridge.
Fooi.ku Yesterday afternoon a Demo
crat man iu company with a friend waa
walking along First rtreet when he espied a
flue looking hor standing in front of J. J
Dnbruilln'n. as if ready to ba harnessed,
several men surrounding it with admiring
gszea. "Fiue looking horse," said tho D. M.,
'hall we go down aud seo it." As thoy
went towards the animal he expatiated to
his friend, who is j'.iot from the Kwt, about
the splendid animals wo hav in l.inn county.
As the animal didn't even whisk his tail and
considerable debris waa lying around, the
Dkmoi kat man soon saw that ho had beon
fooled and had boeii exeiteil oyer a "inmkl,"

Linn county. It is a large structure and

Cheadle noa- milks fifty cows a day, the
milk from which he manufactures into chocs,
the product of which amounts to live or six
huinired pounds a week. This he readily
ells through the Valley, experiencing no
trouble in li"ding a market for it. Mr.
Sppucor, and perhaps others, sells his cheese
in this city. On account of the large do.
mand ho intends t increase his businesr,
hence his now and mammoth barn.
