The Iiebunou branch of the Southern Tacific 1m, as far as known, the only line ruuning trains regularly in Ore gon at the present time, find it is not known how longthis will continue, consequently no traffic is carried on between this place and Portland, and tm this account our ordei for paper this week was not filled. Albany has a regular flood of drum mers, who are corraled by the high waters. It Is said there are about twenty of thetu They had a drum mVr's dance two nights this week, and we understand they ore making ar rangements to make up a troup to play Hum let, the proceeds to go to the Orphun's Home. A very interesting debate 'was held at .Santiain Academy last Friday even ing u the subject, "Resolved, that a minister of the gospel can, consistent ly, vote the republican or democratic ticket" Mr. Uarr, a inetnber of the society, and Prof. Wright.respectlveiy, led the affirmative and negative of the question. M. A. and F. M. Miller, on the outside.mude some interesting and pointed remarks, aud the leaders also presented their views in an able mau ler. The decision was rendered in favor of the negative. There wns much cause for excite ment Monday, on account of the pre vailing Hoods and the number of argu ments which took place. Because of the continued rain and wind storms Lebanon must needs have something to break the monotony, ho two of its young men, getting into a heated dis cussion, went, as they tboijght.outxide of the corporate limits Jo settle their " argument," which resulted in a three round contest, much shed'Jing of blood and a broken bone for one .f the par ticipants. Since the above took place Lebanon has placed a marshal in office who will not fail to do his duty when occasion, demands, and It would be well to 15 nd where the corporate limits of the city extend. . XKWS ITEMS. We acknowledge a pleasant call from Mn. K. Thrall, Misses Isabel Gray, Abbie Wright, Llllie Jlobcrtson and Margerla Brink, al of whom ore connected with the Albany schools. They express themselves as well pleas ed with tho work of the schools at this place. A band of 800 Indians on t. Tcter's reservation, a few miles out of Winni peg, Is dying out.

Bcventy-flve per cent of them are down with the epl demic,and if speedy action is not taken by the authorities in the way of scad lug physicians, few will survive. Last Friday night the penitentiary received a general assortment of new prisoners. They were three In number and all from Portland. The invoice included a woman, a white man and a negro. The woman was Hazel Nelssn, who was convicted with John Bonner f the larceny of $-570. She was sen tenced forjtwo years, and Bonner, her pal, for three. Bonner waa a member of the trio.

ICBOOL NOTES. Misses Maude and Llda Eaton visit ed the school lust Friday afternoon. Call again, ladies. Ahem. One of our young gentlemen seems to take quite an interest in attending the literary society at the academy That's right, Bert, improve your op portunities while you're young. We are 'glad to see Webster back again ; he lias been absent for some time, but is now buck again, and dig ging into solid work. It was said that " Collegiate " surely had library on the brain last week ; we hope so, at least, and that we will con tinue to liave such until the disease will become contagious and spread until it will be productive of some good. Heboid is getting along nicely, espec ially tho primary department, under the efficient management of Miss Griggs, which certainly deserves men tion ; it numbers some 00 or 70, with whom we believe Miss Griggs is doing a good work. It is certainly remarkable to seo the interest manifested in trying to find out who that " infer..al Collegiate" is. If equal interest could be aroused in that which pertains to our future wel fare, what a digging after knowledge tliiirc would be. Foot-racing seems to be the order of the day now. The contest for the silver cup will te on the evening of the first Friday in March. Quite a controversy arose on Wednesday In regard to the Professor's time ; some of the girls insisted that the time was too slow, while the Pro fessor agred to treat to oranges if his time were out of the way. Presbyter ians dont believe in betting, but we got the orange all the same. Several lady teachers came out from Albany Thursday and gave us a very pleasant call. e expect them back again in about a month, on the occas ion of the silver cup " contest. Oa the arrival of The Kxphkks last Friday there was quite an opposition expressed to the tone of our correspon dence. We certainly know there was no sonorous display of words, much lw any literary excellence : but we have not quite assumed (he name of a "standard author," but we do expect to discuss the few points from our school that are worthy of attention. It Is certainly a poor dish without any seasoning, and Just so it is with an ar ticle of this kind ail fuct aud no fancy does not snit the tustes of all classes, hence the variety. Monotony should be avoided. " Cor. T,v?UTK." mil in I I , I mi minium, n. Mill nil i ll I i n iiiii Th New Council. On last Tuesday evening, at the regular and appointed time the City Council met as usual. After attend ing to the regular routine of business, the newly elected city officers were sworn in, each taking tho oath neces sary to qualify him to properly dis charge the duties of his office, after which the old officers gladly stepped back and turned over everything to the new charge with their best wish es. The old council has certainly dono well this year, and have tried to do more, but failed only because the ordinances would not reach deep enough. In the words of old we would say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, eome up higher." It is to be hoped that the new officers will push things as they have been pushed, and we believe they will. The President appointed all the new committees for tho new year, which was about all the business transacted by the new council. After the coun cil adjourned the old members invit ed the new officers and their wives and a few of their friends to the St. Charles Hotel, where, after spending some time in social converse, etc,, an elegant and sumptuous, feast was served. Am Awfal Death. The coroner's Jury Friday returned their findings In the case of the dead body found a few days ago lying near the narrow gauge railway track about a mile north of Aumsville. Coroner Byland being dead, the inquest was conducted by Henry Keene, Justice ot the peace. After hearing the testimony of the-witnesses and viewing the re mains they returned a verdict declar ing the body to be that of a man per haps sixty years of age and to them unknown, there having been nothing by which to establish identity. They thought it was the body of a tramp and that he had met death while sleeping near his camp fire. During the night a wind arose, and a large limb of the tree under which he was lying was blown to the ground. Its butt end struck him squarely on the head, mashing it as flat as a board and spreading it over considerable space. The fall of the tree scattered the fire, which communicated to tho desd man's blanket and then to his cloth ing, and the leaves that formed his bed. When the body was discovered It was destitute of clothing and had the appearance of being well roasted. The verdict returned to the ceunty clerk was in accordance with these facts. From the appearance of the remains the jury concluded that the man had been dead perhaps a week or ten days. The body, aside from being mashed and burned, was In a terrible condition and the sight was one not soon to be forgotten. Statesman. Sin Him ! Let Him Go. The story goes that a certain society young man, noted for his handsome bearing and winning voice, accompa nied a young lady to her home and, as all true lovers do, lingered yet a little while at the gate to have a lover's tete-a-tete with his fair companion. The night was beautiful, no one near to intrude, and above all. he loved! Why shouldn't she kiss him? With true maidenly modsty 6he refused. He Implored. She still w ithheld from him that which would fill his cup of happi ness. The request was repeated several times, aud so engrossed did the young man become In wooing that he failed to notice the approach of the paternal step. The old gentleman, who had been there himself and did not like to Intrude on the happiness of the young couple, quietly stepping behind a con venient rosebush, waited, thinking the young man would soon leave. In this he was mistaken. The lover tarried over the request until the patience of the old gentleman was exhausted. A voice the couple well knew aroused thetn from their happiness in a tone ef impatient anger by saying: "Daugh ter, kiss the fool nd let him go borne!" It is reported that the young man only hit the ground In high places in his endeavor to comply with the old gentleman's request. Ex.
