KutoroJ at (lio I'.ixt (Jill at Albany, Or a second-class mall matter. LOCAL UHUORI). A Dklkihteii Auiiienlk. The rendi tion of tlic drama "The Confederate Spy," at the opc;a home Saturday evening, was received by a large audience, fully four hundred being prebent. Nearly all of the parts were well sustained, that of Mockery Schncidclbcckcr, the drafted Dutchman, by Thes, Overman, particularly being filled from top to bottom. The Dutchman often brought the house down. There are many exciting 6Cencs in the play, which were given in a pleasing manner. Sever al of the parts deserved special mention on account of the excellent manner in which they were sustained; but as only praise is appreciated In the write up of an amateur performance, we find the best plan to be to sneak in general terms. The enthusi asm with which the play was received speaks for the merit of its rendition. It is to be hoped we may have more during the coining winter. A Little Sarcastic. The following is the Astoriau's account of the wreck of the "Yaquina Bay." While not quite as vicious as that of one of its contemporaries it is inclined to be sarcastic: "The steam er 'Yaquina Bay stranded while crossing into Yaquina on Tuesday, In tow of a tug A tug is kept at that port to take frequent soundings, locate the constantly shifting channel, and tow the steamers through the narrow cnannei. it Is said that through bad steering, the steamer In tow of the tug grounded, breaking the hawser." Best in the World. Here is a little Item from the St. Paul Press which should be encouraging to prune raisers in Linn county: "One fact noticeable in the prct operations of orchardists is the tendency to make prunes their chief crop. It is be lieved that Oregon prunes are the best the world produces. They are altogether be yond comparison with the Ivuropcan pro duct, and even California does not claim to be able to grow as good prunes as Oregon. They bring much the highest price in the Dawning. An Ex. says: "It is begin ning to dawn on the residents of the Will amette valley that it is destined at no dis tant day to be one of the most progressive, thickly populated and prosperous sections of the Pacific Northwest. Within a very few years, and the infectious enthusiasm, incident to a boom, already .tils the very air. The next few months will witness such a development in fruit and agricult ural interests in the valley as was not dreamed of a fear years ago." The Stbimer The wrecked steamer at the bay remains in statu quo, about a thousand feet frem the west end, the fare cabin washed off, the middle about gone, and the sea continually washing over It, gradually taking the woodwork off. Every body who goes to the scene of the w reck takes away a relic, one man getting a fine writing desk, (he turned some irold cuff buttons In a drawer over to the captain ,) and everybody something. No one is al lowed on the steamer Itself though, except privileged persons. Yesterday Mr. Camp bell went down in the hold in a diving suit out tne undertow was so strong that he could not stand cm his feet, indicating that there are probably some good sized holes in it. This morning two experienced div ers arrived in the city from San Krancihco and left on a special train for the bav. where this afternoon they will endeavor to learn the extent of the damage to the uotiom. New Steamer The steamer "Santa Maria" has been chartered to run on the Oregon Pacific route, and will sail from San Francisco to-morrow. The "Willamette Valley" sailed from the Bay yesterday with a big cargo. Tills will mateiially help the business of the company ; but the present traffic of this road is sufficient for three boats: Christianity vs. Infidelity.

Bdlted by Albany W, 0. T, U The regular meeting of the Union on Tues day last was one of unusual interest, twenty five members being present. A responsive Bible reading was conducted by Mrs. Over man, which was helpful to eyery one present. The executive committee reported that the payment due on the hall had been discharg ed, and a number of small bills settled, leav ing tho financial affairs of the Union in good shape excepting the amount still unpaid upon tha hall. After tho transaction of some other business, Mrs. Townsend, resigned her position as President of the Union, she spoke CODING! COMING! Prof. Samwell's celebrated carnival of novelties, which attracted immense crowds every day for three weeks in Portland at Cort's theatre, will show in the Albany Opera House on Saturday, evening, Dec. 22nd, and give a matinee in the afternoon. This show his the finext and best trained animals in the world.

I ed connection will tne union, to which she was so warmly attached, sho thanked the mem bers for the universal kindness and courtesy shown her, and made some valuab'e sugges tions as to future work. Her resignation was accepted and the following preamble and Resolution passed, unanimously : e, as members of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union of Albany, Oiegon, deeply regret that circumstances have made it necessary for Mra. Townsend to resign her office as President of our Union, and take up her residence in another eity, wa therefore, offer this resolution in love and approval of tho consecrated woman who has served us as President for the past 7 years. Resolved, That we deeply regret the loss of our President, that our grateful thanks are due her for the successful management of all the affairs of our Union, recognizing that to her untiring zeal we owe the place we have won among the Unions of the State, aa the banner Union. We hereby tender her our most earnest wishes for prosperity, happiness and usefulness in the new home to which she goes, and committing her to the care of the Master whom she so conscientiously serves, we leave her in His hands. A ballot was then taken for a new Presi dent, which resulted in the choice of Mrs. St. John, who is in every way worthy to fill the chair of her predecessor. Mrs. Townsend has served tbe Union, ts President for al most seven years, and who shall say her ad ministration has not been a successful one. We feel in transfering this upright woman to Portland that her influence may be felt even in that sin-cursed city, and we resign her witli that hope.

Quite a num ber of our best citizens nre complaining that cigarette dealers sell cigarettes to small boys ranging from 9 to 13 years of age, and thus lay the foundation for a dis gusting, life destroying habit. There seems to be no law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors unless parents inter fere and prevent It, but this loose way of selling to small boys will lead to the en actment of stringent laws upon the subject if dealers do not desist. The Difference. On this mild win ter day with men around In their shirt sleeves It Is a grand sight to see the Three Sisters rise in the southeast clothed in eternal snows. It shows us the difference between the Willamette vallev and the east, the mountains being emolematlc of the present weather along the Atlantic coast.
