A number of the Albany College students had planned a trip to t lie top of Peterson's Butte to have a picnic lB Saturday, where they intended to erect a monument aud dedicate it to education, but their proposed trip was slopped on account of the rain. It is with much pleasure that the Expkkss calls attention to the fact that Leb anon's public school was the first to build a monument of this kind In the state. We predict that in lets than five years there will not be a butte within any reasonable distance of a school bouse in the slate, but what a monument will be built upon it, Mr. N. 8. Dalgleish returned Wed nesday evening, accompanied by .Mrs. Dolgleish. When Mr. Dalgleish left here several weeks ago on a visit to his sister In BritiBh Columbia, his friends had strong suspicion that be would re turn with a fair Canadian girl for bis bride. Tbelr suspicious proved correct, for he was married at Lsngley, B. C, on May IB, 1895, to Miss Aggie Ross. Mr. and Mrs. Dalgleish were met at the evening train by many friends and were serenaded by the hand later iu the evening at the home of Justice Love- lee, with whom they are at present stopping, while Mr. Dalgleish is fitting up his new borne. Mr. Dalgleish is universally respected and liked for Ills many admirable qualities, and his uew happiness is a source of pleasure to bis many friends. We are glad to welcome Mrs. Dalgleish to our city. A cltlieu of Portland, while slrol- liug along a street in Lebanon, Linn county, a few days since, had Ins at tention attracted by the most magnifi cent cherry tree he hud ever seen. See ing a sprightly old man hoeing iu the garden, in which the tree stood, he leaned over the fence and inquired about it. The veteran gardener, who proved to be ninety-two years of age, stated that the tree was two and a half feet iu diameter, and that the branches spread over an area of fifty-two feet in diameter, aud that last year, which was not a good yeur for cherries, it produced fourteen bushels, and would have several bushels more this year The tree appeared as healthy aud vig orous as possible, not a dead bl anch or any sign of decay about it. It would be difficult to match that tree out of Oregon, but there are a uumber of trees us lurge in this state. Orego- nian. . Frank Cochran, aged about twelve years, who lives with his mother, a few miles north of Brownsville, met with a thrilling experience one day last week, It was an experience such as would only be thought of by a sport loving youth In his wild fancies of a midnight dream an experience that very seldom shapes itself into a reality. He was roaming the hills lu quest of a strayed cow, aud was carrying lu his hand a lengthy rope, when his dog rushed luto the brush and lu a moment a large deer came bounding by the youth, who, acting upou the Impulse, threw a noose over its head, and im mediately taking the other end around a small oak grub, had Ibegamey ani mal foul. That the animal should oome In such close proximity to the boy was au unsolved mystery until after a scrutinizing examination had taken place, and the anlauial was fouud to be blind as a bat, evidently bavlugoome in contact with some hot lead on a previous occaslou. This fact of course caused the young hero to shed crocodile tears of grief, us he de sired to keep the deer a captive Brownsville Times. GRAND PICNIC.
