i:eI 10 Us, on last Saturday, a sketch which he
tal just colnpleted, of block two. the property of

;, CGARrz SpECIMENs.-We were shown
specimens of what appeared to be very
rch gold and silver bearing quartz, a
few DAYS since, taken from ledges just
discovered by Mr.. j. d. Post. One
piece, about the size Of a black walnut,
was '.alve" with gold, and if the speci-
men exhibited to us was fair average
Of the rock, the lucky discoverer is the
possessor of untold wealth. Another
specimen was rich in both silver and
gold and, Mr. Post Informed US, assayed
j 500 per ton. The specimens were taken
from two different lodges, discovered by
AIr. Post some days since in the coast
range, short distance west Of Roseburg
The lodges are about fifteen miles apart.
Mr.. Post informed US that the most of
his leisure time for the past six years had
been devoted to '.rrospccting' for one of
these lodges. We hope they may prove
even richer than his most sanguiue ex-
pectations would lead him to believe, as
we like to see energy anl perseverance,
in discovering and developing the min

TIE ALBANY kEGIsLArURE.-On
last Saturday evening was perfected the
organization fthc Albany Legislature"
This institution can be made quite feat
urc for the winter, and we hope that
citizens generally will enroll their names
Us members, and take an active part in
legi>latins for the g good Of the whole
people Some very spicy debates were
had on last Saturday evening, but as we
were requested not to give full report,
we will only state that it will cost twenty
five cents to become member of the
honorable body; that as it's name indi-
Gates, it is to be Legislative body; that
it will meet at the District School house
! every Saturday evening, and that by res
oluton the ladies are invited to lend the
''charm Of their presence to heighten the
brilIiancy Of the occasion" Several mem
bers gave notice that they would intro
ducc bills for the consideration Of the
Senate on this Saturday evening. Let
there be a full atteudance
LEG BRoKEN-Master Willie Web
Der, son Of Jos. Webbcr, Esq, lad of
some eight years Of age, on Wednesday
last, fell and broke his left leg between
the knee and thigh. DIR. Rice was called
in, and attended to the immediate wants
of the little sufferer, and from him VIC
learn that his patient is doing we'll and
with the faithful nursing aud attention
that he receives, will soon be all right
again.
FIRE ESGINE-We are informed by
competent authority, that good fire
engine, with hose carriage and hose com
plete, can be had for the sum of 81 500.
We are assured by the same authority
that if an engine had been on hand
Tuesday night when he arrived there,
the main building could have been saved
and the saving Of this building would
have paid for the engine. Several citi
zens have offered to dig fire cisterns, at
their own expense, provided the city will
purchase an engine. What say our peo-
pie? As we understand it, an engine
can be obtained and the city can pay for
the same in two or more yoars-in fact,
on It's own terms as to the time the
payments shall be made. At present
we are perfectly defcnceless, can do moth
ing in case Of fire but look on and let it
burn
GONE EAsT-The last ocean steamer
that left Portland for San Francisco,
carried as passenger, Rev. VIM Mon
teith. We believe it is the intention of
this gentleman to take up permanent
residence in the East He has the best
wishes of many admirers and warm
frienGs in Albany, for his future welfare
and happiness.
SPECIAL TERM.-Judge Boise will
