The latter , Aid he sometimes took a "shol" himself and taking out a bottle and instrument shot some into his arm. Being called away he left the bottle and instrument on 'lie stand. Coming back Osborne was gene and he thought no more about it until hearing of his sickness, when he examined the arti cles carefully and says they did not look as If they were used.

WHAT L E. BLAIN HAS, An immense number of suits of clothing, dress and business, for men and boys, Prices low when quality is considered. A Mas With Mo.iev. A shrewd, fine looking man was in the city Tuesday, in the interest of himself and capitalists, of Minne apolis, He r anted to know all about Al baiy, Linn county and Oregon generally, the price of everything, woolsn mills, manu facturing interests, etc. Somewhere in Ore' gon, probably Portland, he intends starting a large produce house, and at three or four other plic:: branch heucei, for general mar ehaudise, and where there will be a market for everything rai..:d. He left on the even' ing train for Brownsville to examine into the workings of the mills there. Did our Board of Trade or real estite men know that he was here feeling around? If we are not mistaken hois just the olass of men we need to court in Albany, tne kinil we nceu to Duttonnoie, and lav. "hero, we want yon in Albany." We wans men here representing money, and auv claisthat will helo sive us a 'arse and reliable market for everything that can be rais u, will confer a favor by dropping uown in t ie Willamette Valley, We want a wool en mill at Albany, and it wU pay us to shake hands with the men who haye the money to build woolen mil's. This man, though seemed to be getting bis information trom unbiased souro' 1 and hence did not make himself very oonspicuous, and, by the way, there are large numbers going through tne state in tne same way.

A Corvallis paper says the arguments used in the Democrat recently In favor of a bridge here are as applicable to that city as to Albany. Cor rect. Here's a scheme suggested by the fact. Suppose Benton county on account of its northeast end contributes liberally for a bridge at Albany and Linn county on account of its southwest corner liberally for one at Corvallis, nnd each for itself, and the thing will be done.
