OUR LEBANON CORRESPONDENT.

Everything is moving on quietly and
pleasantly. The series of religious
meetings, which have been held at the
academy for several weeks, closed last
Monday evening. Result-one person
professed conversion and united with the
church. The membership is much re-
viyed. Divine service is held here every
Sundays The NJ. Il. Church meetings
were held in the academy, and the
Southern. Methodist and the Cumber-
land Presbyterians in the " Hail." A
very good state of feeling exists between
the. members of the nj. i. Church and
the members Of the Southern Church.
They attend each others meetings, and
take partsin the services. This is as it
ought be. Whatever cause there may
nave been for estrangement during our
civil war as the war is over, they should
now love. each other as brethren. They
believe Che same doctrines, have the
same forms, and, in fact, are but one
church. I'VE think the day is not distant
when the Southern wing will drop the

Hold their annual meeting this evening,
at which time the fate of the proposed
ditch is 70 be determined. This compa-
ny was organized more than year age
foe the purpose of bringing the water of
the Safftiam into Lebanon for manufac-
turing purposes. Six thousand dollars
wefe subscribed for that purpose. When
they surveyed and located the route they
ascertained that they would need nine
thousand dollars. The additional three
thousand could not be raised very easily,
and the right of way could not be OBJ
tanned through ono of the farms without
arlawsuit; therefore, the work on the
ditch has been delayed. Some members
or the company have become discour-
aged, and they wish to dissolve the or
gAnization. But, we believe, large
majority are in favor of putting it
through. at all hazards. If it should be
completed, property viii advance one

YVHE simplicity and practicability of this new
il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are fonr feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supc-
riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens Of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay'' Plow, hereby certify that the
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the Same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it Is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con-
strueted of wrought iron-no castings used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
land and in plowing, net having to make the nec-
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not throwing the driver forward or
more Of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY'
PLow to our brother farmers, one having no
superior in Oregon.

THEATRE--The historical drama en-
titled LA Tour de Nesle, or The Cham
Der OF DEATH" was very handsomely
rendered at Washington Hall last night.
Mrs. Seton rendered the character of
Margaret Of Burgundy, the guilty, ina
perious Queen of Navarro, in a very
effective manner. Mr.. Wise's Captain
Buridan was an excellent piece of act
ing. He deserved and received the
r5zudits Of the audience for the manner
in which he rendered it. The fares was
agreeably played. Haviland's Sowerby
was arst1class eccentrio old man, as
good as we ever saw: Sefton's John
Buttercup was so-soish. This afternoon
the great drama Of HNobody's Daughter
will be given at the matinee. Tonight
we are to have an immense bill, the
great drama of 'Lucrstia Borgia" and
Nick of the Woods" being the pro-
gramme, and the best Saturday nights
performance ever given in this city.

SOUND ON THE GoosE.-Thers is no
doubt but that geese have figured more
extensively in the affairs of men, have
excited an influence for good or evil,
beyond any other insect that flies or
goes on one leg. Geese saved Rome.
To be "sound on the goose" was the
highest aim of q native-born American
citizen in Know-Nothing times. To be
known as goose is the ambition of the
Inteligenoer local. Geese brought trou-
BILE between the chignons of Mrs. Myers
and Mrs. Porter, of Webster township.
On Thursday Mrs. Myers swore out a
warrant before Squire Clohan, charging
Mrs. Porter with disorderly conduct.
The trouble was all about geese-noth-
ing but geese, and the way the ladies
made their tongues, reputation and
feathers fly, was a caution to slower
people. The trial resulted in the JUS
tice holding them to bail to keep the
peace, requiring bonds in the sum of
s25 each, and requiring them to pay the
costs between them.

Some days since we pnblished the
doings Of q gang of despersdoes in Wet
eel county, and the note we publish be-
low tells Of other outrages. We have
made inquiry in, regard to this matter,
and are satisfied. that these robberies
and murders are committed by the con.
victs who some time ago broke out Of
the pehitentiary, and who are banded
with other outlaws, under the lead OF
the Swiss, Charles Meyers, who planned
and lead that escape. Something must
be done, and that at once. If the au'
thorities cannot drive these murderers
from their Businesses and hiding places,
then must the people organize them
selves into vigilance committee and
wage q war of determination against
them:
BURTON, WEST VA, Sept. %, '69.
Editors Of the Reg lister:
Matters have come to great pitch in
this part of this (Wetzel) county. On
the morning of the 23d there was found
the body of man (name nnknown) on
Deolan Ridge, between New Martins
Vile and this place, with his pockets
rifled and marks of violence on his body,
showing beyond doabt that he hao
been fonlly murdered. DoOlan Ridge is
not far from where Mr.. Forbes, oil
Wheeling, was wounded few days ago.
1t is becoming dangerous to travel
through this part of the county, and
travel is almost suspended. This should
De looked after by the officials, and if
there was call made for volunteers,
hundreds would be glad of having the
chance of riddipg the country of such
proving vagabonds, and in torty-eight
hours the whole party would be either
prisoners or dead.
There is strong talk of organizing a
vigilance committee, and it IS probable
that one will be organized that will
scour the country over and give all such
parties their just dues, namely, few
feet of rope, ar short notice. l..

where builders encroach unnecessarily
OIL the public highways. Mortar boxes,

cover the streets sufficiently to preclude

very annoying inconvenience. Build
