This one Mrs. Mallor Strlckrn While rreachlnc, An immense congregation gather- w111 bc ln thc flnc stylo of the West ed to hear Mrs. Mallov's farewell onoro aim wm contain many 01 mo sermon, last night. Tho lady was taken suddenly ill soon after she be gan, mid though she made an at tempt to go on sank back in a swoon after a few moments and was oblig ed to desist. Her physician had warned her not to make tho effort in her delicate condition. By tho way, while on this It Is well to remark that owing to the up roar and loud stamping and run ning up and down stairs by a lot of boys and half grown men tho per sons near the entrance could not hear a word. It is but simple truth to ullege that tho disorder made by the rioters was astounding as was tho enduranco of thoso who have authority over the premises. No political meeting would have toler ated such outrugeous imposition. Tho law to punish thoso who dis turb meetings and public assem blages of the people should bc en forced, if there Is such a law, and, if not, our Legislature can do no bet ter service to the causo of order and social decency than by making one. Some of the states have such n pro vision punishingsevercly from a flno up to line and imprisonment, all who disturb the pence of families. neighborhoods, ineetingstc., and it works admirably,' illustrations of that number for January. They will have 2-5,000 of this edition printed and they will go to as many homes in tho East. Sowing seeds of immigration is what the Oregon Land Co. Is doing. The harvest is not far away. Al ready tho avaut courier is in sight and tho rustling feefc of tho follow ing hosts arc heard in tho distance. Mr. Kay Was Here. Thomas Kay, late of tho Browns ville woolen mills, was in tho city to-day. He came to look up the proposition for tho establishment of mills here. Nothing was done, but ho will return to-morrow evening, when u definite disposal will be made of tho matter. He starts in a few days for England to purchase sevcrul thousand dollars worth of woolen mill machinery and It re mains to bo seen whether Salem, Al bany or some other city captures the prize. Tho committee having the matter in chargo here, assure us that there is little douot but that favorable terms will be arranged to morrow and tho mills bo located here. Short OIJK PEN PICTURES. Sketches of Onr Law Makers And Prominent Men. AiTi'Sti'd Far linlibing the .Malls. Yesterday evening Postal Inspect or Tructlin caused tho arrest of John Allen, a young colored man, who is accused of robbing tho U. S. mails. At the time of his arrest Al Ion was working at Pearce & May's restaurant in tho capacity of waiter, and liis taking of!" was quite a sur prise to his employes, who had found him to be a sober and energet ic lad. Deputy U. B. Marshall C. M. Wail made tho arrest, with a llourish of artillery. Tills oceurcd at tho supper hour and Allen spent tho night in jail, being taken to Portland for exami nation, by this morning's early train. JIo is accused with having open ed a registered package not belong ing to him. Tills was sometime last December, hut tho inspector failed to locate him until yesterday. Tho robbery occurred south of here, HoniQwhcra nloni! the line of tho O. & C. Allen is a stranger in Salem, having arrived hero but a few weoks ago, when ho went to work as a waiter. Too Jlany Officers. The city ofMaryville.Mo., is about to propose a resolving of its corpora tion back into tho common body of citizens and thus to enjoy the em ployment of justices and constables vico mayor, alderman and city mar shal. Of all the follies of our time this thing of Incorporating every village as a city Is one of the most absurd. A very simple amendment of tho road law so as to enable ad joining'1 property holders, who reside on villajjo lots to niuko and repair side walks would do away with the only excuse for incorporating sever al thousand cross road points, and relegate a hundred thousand ambi tious citizens to tho rcalmsof privacy. SUl'ltEHK U0U11T. HON. K. ir. BELKNAP. Mr. Belknap is a "Web-footer" having been born in Benton county, on what is called "The Old Do nation Land Claim," in the year 1860. The Old Donation above spoken of was settled in '47 and '48, and Is somewhat of a historical part of Oregdn. Mr. Belknap passed his youthful days as a farmer lad, but is now a rising young attorney. He has been attending law school at Portland, and ho will soon bo ad mitted to the bar. Mr. Belknap is well known in Salem, as he attend ed Willamette University here from '80 to '84, and graduated from it with some high honors. He is now serving his first term as representa tive for the Benton county citizens. He was a candidate for the office he now fills in 1880, but was defeated by a small majority.; Curious to say, Mr. Belknap has never departed from his "single life," as yet. Ho is a strong republican and has always held to that party. His onnouents in the last election were Messrs. M. M.Davis and Y. W. Smith. His postolllco address is Monroe. HON. w. K. piuck. Mr. Price is another one of Oregon's native representatives. Ho was born at Albany, Linn county in 1850. Ho passed his youth at Al bany and received his education thero. After arriving at the ago of maturity ho went to Crook county, where he was engaged extensively in stock raisingfor ten years. Fouryears ago he went to Jackson county, and again continued stock raising, at which occupation ho has succeeded in accumulating a neat and com fortable fortune, In 1872 he was married at Albany to Miss Pauline Hacklen, and their homo is now mado happy by two boys. The old est is now attending school at Jack sonville. Mr. Price's father was one of the first settlers and founders of Albany. Mr. Price is serving his term as a democratic representative from Jackson county.

A Itolibcry at Imleiiemlcnre. A month ago an exciting robbery was committed at Independence, but until now the fact has been sup pressed, in tho vain hopo that the perpetrator might have been appre hended. Amongother families who recently came to Independence and made their homo was that of Jack son Baker. About Christmas time lie gave to his wife for safe keeping $1100 In greenbacks, together witli ttMOO In certificates of deposit. These she placed in an old vest poc ket, and put the vest In the bottom of an old trunk. After several weeks, in going after the money, sho could not find the vest. It had been taken and with it the money. Payment was ordered stopped on tho certificates, but tho $1100 is a minus quantity. It is an expensive luxury hiding money in trunks and old tin cans.

Saturday he was brought hero and placed in the asylum. He imagines that ho killed H000 men with nine pistol shots and that ho Is followed by tho spirits of the men ho killed. Aside from this he has ti hallucination that the edict has gone forth from tliotlovll that he was to marry a rich German princess. Tills ho finds himself unable to do as ho Is already wedded to too many mem bers of the imperial family. - m Weather.

Editor JouiJNAL:-Itecent vis. itors to our Agricultural College to examine into its workings did not find a horse, cow, sheep, pig or chicken belonging to tho Agrinultu ral farm; aud the draining of said farm was being carried on by hiring the necessary hauling as well as all other team work. A farmer would hardly think this practice to bo a paying one. Evidently tho Execu. tlve Committo of our Board of Re gents are not farmers. Possibly tliey think they are doing great things; and if they are . Com paring present ellbrts with past do ings, wo will bo compelled to own that they are. But if anybody is so simple as to believe that anything worthy of tho great state of Oregon in practical results can be accom plished oa tho present site of the Agricultural College, bottled up as it Is with village lots all ubout it that will prevent any enlargement of tho farm to meet tho wants of even one department of a school de voted to practical agriculture, it will not take long to undeceive him But in the nuaiiwhile, what Is be coming of ourschool in practical ag riculture? It will bo most e.Toct ually "swamped," and nobody bene fitted but those living in the im mediate viciuity, and tliey only because a good high school has been maintained for them at somebody else's expense. It is a short-sighted policy that is governing our Agricultural College and lias ruled all along in tho past. That kind of a school Has no busi ness in a town, but belongs out on tho bread, lertilo lauds that adjoiu any town in Oregon; should have not less than 010 acres. Thon we might expect to see some practical results in tho teaching of agriculture that will compensate for the expend iture. But so long as tho present site is maintained nothing can be dono even in the hauds of the friends of practical agriculture, because they havo not room to put In tho ap pliances aud use them. The host thing that am happen to the cause of agricultural educa tion in till stato now is that the M. E. Church South bo able to main tain Its suit for possession of tho Agricultural College farm. It will bo better aud more economical for t lie state to start anew that is, if a real Agricultural Collogo Is desired. Should there not bo land enough in Benton county for It, It might be well to look in othor counties for a supply of earth to meet the neces sities of the ease. Faumkh.
