some time past have been idle, will start
again next week, SO we are informed. They
have been thoroughly overhauled and i'm
proved and the quantity of -four which
they are able to manufacture daily will be
greatly increased. We hope the Messrs.
Foster will be amply remunerated for the
additional expense which they have incur

SHREwn DETECTIyES.-Some time ago u
package containing S50, 900 was stolen from
q desk in the Canal Bank of New Orleans,
in a most mysterious manner. On careful
examination of the premises, the detectives
discovered the mark of a small nail upon the
edge of railing, on which the thief must
have placed his foot, aud that he must have
been a tall man. They concluded the nail
was in the heel of the robbers boot, and
that the wear Of the leather had left the nail
head projecting so that it would mark what.
ever he would step upon. The officers be-
came, thenceforth, anxious observers Of all
boot heels, and after many days two Of them
happened into the City Hotel. Among the
crowd a man was sitting, with one foot rails
ed upon his knee, engaged in trying to bend
or break of a projecting tack in the heel of
his boot. a glance showed that he was tall
enough, and forthwith the officers arrested
him, charging him with the robbery. He
confessed said he went to the bank 10 in
quire the rate of exchange, saw the package
lying upon the desk, and, when the clerk
turned his back for moment, reached up,
snatcEed the money and left. lie had not
ventured to use any Of Is, and the whole was
recovered.
We wish AiDany had ssaas -isssetiVss as
sharp as these; we should then have strong
hopes that the deeply dyed villain who at
tempted to burn up the city last week might
be brought to justice. lie was tracked some
distance in his stocking feet. The design Of
the scOundrel evidently was 10 burn out Mar.

LINN COUNTY FAIR.

We publish to-day the premium list OF the
Linn Co. Agricultural Association, to be
awarded at its third annual Fair, to be held
at their Fair Grounds, one mile south of
Albany, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, September 22d, 2Sd, 9th,
and 25th, 1868. The following named gen
tlemen are the officers of the Linn Co. Agri-
cultural Association President, A. Hack
leman Vice President, E. II. Griffin; Sec
retary, James Elkins Marshal, NJ. Luper.
The Directors are E. II. Griffin, D. Fro.
man, NJ. Luper, Jesse Parrish, Allen Par
ker, S. Montgomery.
We visited the Fair Grounds on Wednes-
day last, and CLEANED the following fact: :
Some new buildings have been erected
for the better accommodation of stock. The
race track has been entirely enclosed, and
the track is in most excellent condition.
We presume it cannot be excelled on the
coast. The following named horses are now
on the grounds in process of training, viz :
Running horscs-Nancy Jane March,
Red Jacket, and Flying Billy, all owned by
VIM. Gird. Also, Mr.. G. is training a
3-year old mare owned by Mr.. Riley of Al
bany. Stonewall Jackson, owned By Thorn
as Hardy. DoOdley, FLY owned by E. C.
Hurting. Timber Jim, owned by r. Stin-
net. JEFF. Davis, Big John, PeytOna and
Slander, owned by L. C. Younger of Lane
county.
TFotting horses-Wm. Gird has one but
not yet named. Silver Tail, owned by 4.
J. Thayer of Corvallis. Abe, owned By
John uurd. Mr. Wallace is training Com.
ct. Juniq., Lady Jessie, Belle Brandon, Lady
ThOrne, y =, Jake, Nelly, Oregon John,
BIaek5ird, Bald Hornet and Vermont. The
four last named horses are owned by other
parties. 1t is known that other horses will
soon be on the grounds. VIM. Gird has
three PAGERS in training in addition to those
already mentioned.
AS some have expressed surprise that we
did not, some time ago, publish the Premi-
um List, we viii state that the copy was not
furnished us until this week; the Board of
Directors, however, are blameless in the
matter.
We are glad that so much interest is being
manifested in the Fair. All classes of citi-
zens,-and especially mechanics and far
mers,-eannot well spend too much time or
take too deep an interest in the Linn County
Agricultural Fair. We know, and admit
that there are some evils connected with
Fairs; but their general tendency is exceed
ingIy beneficial to any community. Through
them the various kinds of domestic animals
are vastly improved; inventors are stimula-
ted to extra exertion; and every department
of agriculture. the mechanic arts and the
various qualifications of housewifery and
domestic economy receive fresh and healthy
impetus. Let all do what they can to make
our next Fair the best old Linn has yet had

A passenger from San Francisco to
Hong Koag4 describes disconsolate
widow that was among the Chinese pas
sengers, of whom there were some
twelve or fifteen. She had resided in
California fifteen years, had accumula-
ted about 10000, and having lost her
husband by death, was returning to
China to abide for the future with her
friends and kinsmen. She was about
forty years of age, good looking, when
cons idered from Chinese standpoint,
and, being rich, would doubtless be con-
sidered good catch by her countrymdn.
She had the bones Of the dear departed
polished after the Chinese style, boxed
ing them to the Flowery Kingdom in
order that they might be deposited in
the Joss House alongside his ancestors.
Every day she would descend to the
hold of the vessel VIII ere the remains
were slowed and spend an hour or two
with the skeleton, muttering a mixed
sort of prayer, while tears streamed
from her eyes. Her mummeries con-
cluded, she would come upon deck,
smoke her cigar, laugh and chatter with
her countrymen, as if she was the most
light-hearted person in the world. One
day, after she had terminated her hours

ton husband, II asked her." writes the
