The general assembly of the Presby
terian church met at Pittsburg, Peim.,
May 18, and lu the history of Presbv
terisnlsm of that place, published in
the Pittsburg Times, is the following:
"The first Protestant sermeon preached
within the limits of Pittsburg was
preached by a Presbyterian minister,
Charles Seattle, the Sunday of No
vember 20, 1768." This Rev. Charles
Beattie was a great great grandfather
of Rev. J. H. Beattle of this city,
Decoration day was observed In Leb
anon yesterday In the usual style. The
procession was formed lu front of the
G. A. R. ball headed by the Lebanon
band and marched to the Academy
where the decoration services were
held. Bev. J. H. Beattle delivered
the oration, After the exercises they
marched to the Masonic cemcrtcry
where the service was concluded at
the grave of Comrade F. M, Miller,
where there was a fine display of
flowers. Mr. C. B. Montague was
marshal of the day.
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
