THURSDAY, Albany College's Interests. The interests of Albany College were presented at the district presbytery, at Brownsville this week. The college, though, is now under the charge of the synod, which will meet next week, when it is probable action will be taken for completing the proposed endow ment. It is pratically settled that there will be no Presbyterian college in Port land, so that Albany college should re ceive the undivided support of the church in Oregon. SHERIFF'S SALE.

Mr. Devarnoy, of the Homo Tele phone Co., has made arrangements to install a christophone in the U.P. church for use Sunday morning. It is simply a receiver intensified, about six inches in diameter, and will be suspended in front of the speaker, about even with his head, above the audience in a manner hardly attracting attention. It has worked successfuly in tho cast. Any phone can be connected with the church, but this is to be tried not to satisfy curiosity, but for the benefit of those actually unable to attend services, fuch as the inmates of the hospital, or any one ill at home, and it is not probable that all who ask will be triven thewirp. as the object of the christophone is not to keep people away from church, but for the benefit of those unable to at tend. This is said to bo the first trial of one in Cregon. A Successful Presbytery.
