improvement To our own certain knowl-

we understand, makes no kind of pretension

said that there are others on the ticket whose
nominations were not fit to have been made.

immense gathering is anticipated.
"A French Canadian girl, aged 10 years,
was killed few days ago at the St. Alex
andre station, near Rviere du Loup, in at
tempting to cross in front o. an engine. her
mother demonstrated, and said the tram
was too near but the father said, 100, you
can do it, if you are smart" The grl was
crushed beneath the engine wheels.
The verdict rendered by the Coroner's
Jury in the case of the Avondale calamity
annihil hates the story that the FIRE was kin
died by incendiaries, and disposes of the
base calumny upon the Irish miners which
certain Radical newspapers of this State IN
dustriously circulated for political effect
1t was the basest lie ever manufactured for
such purpose.

The losses by fire throughout the Unit
cd States during the month OF August, just
passed, amounted to $6.438 goo. This IS a
startling statement. The loss is nearly
double that Of August, 1868, and much ex
cseds the total Of any month during the
D asst or present year. The value Of proper

already amounts to S27, 100 900, while the
total losses of 1865 were less than S35 ,00O,-
900. The fire of August 5th, in Phiiadel-
phia, when property valued at 1000 900
was burned, was the most destructive one
that has occurred in the country since July
4th, 1866, when the city Of Portland, Ne,
was devastated-the loss amounting to 3l0.-
900 600. The widespread drought has, OF
course, been one of the principal causes Of
the great destruction of property.

THREE weeks ago, when we published
Grants celebrated speech to the Mayor and
citizens of Concord, n H., we believed that
nothing but itself could be its parallel. We
were simply mistaken. Our travelling Pres
ident has since paid a visit to Pottsville, in
this State, where he far ecl:pscd his Concord
performance. 1t is quite refreshing to read
such a notable specimen of Presidential elo-
qucnce as the following brilliant address to
the citizens of that place:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I am happy
to see you. You 10 not know hoI0 happy
am to see you, and / think you do not know
how tired l am. This is my first visit to

appeared to have heard Of me. And they
were no happier to see me than l to see

IT must be remembered that the election
of borough and township officers will be held
in October. The Registry Act Of the last
session contains the following section, which
abolishes the Spring elections. The law is
all wrong, but as long as it is on the statute
book, it must be obeyed. 1t will doubtless
be repealed after its evil effects have been
felt by the people:
'.Sectioni15. All elections for city, ward.
borough, township and election officers shall
hereafter be held on the second Tuesday of
October, subject to all the provisions Of the
laws regulating the election Of such officers
not Inconsistent with tnis act; the persons
elected to such Offices at that time shall take
their places at the expiration of the terms Of
the persons holding the same at the time Of
such election but no election for the office
Of assessor or assistant assessor shall be held
under this act. until the year one thousand

IL referring to the failure of President
Grant TO be present at the death of kis trust
ed friend, Gen. John A. 'Rawlins. the late
Secretary of War, the editor Of the New
York Sun. a leading radical paper, delivers
the following home thrust at the ''second
Washington" 1t is as neat a specimen of
bitter invective as has come under our Oh
servation for long time, and is worthy of
the pen of Junius himself:
"The hour of death had come. Only a
few brief moments remained to John a.
Rawlins. HAS the President yet come 2 he
asked anxiously. The physician was sitting
by his bedside, holding his wrist. and care
fully noting the fluctuations of his rapid
pulse, so as to vary the stimuants, and pro
long life to the utmost. There was such a
deep feeling-so much of agony-in the tone
of the dying Secretary, that the strong men
who were gathered around him, from their
spontaneous sympathy with the sufferer,
promptly renewed their ft-repeated assu
RANGES that the President would soon be
there.
"'I hope I may see him before all is over ,
said the dying Rawlins. You shall. my
dear friend, you SHALL responded General
Sherman. deeply moved.
'But General Grant came not. He had
fingered too late in the lap of pleasure TO
receive the last blessing Of his expiring com
rade. Yet Rawlins was never missing when
Grant wanted him. And it is probably safe
to say today-with all the solemnity of
history-that had there never been a Raw
Inns, there would never have been Grant"

The American Indians are reported to
be giving the Spanish American soldiers
on the frontiers of Chill all they want to
do. General Pinto was sent against the
Indians with an army of three thousand
men, but does not seem to have effected
much, as at the last accounts the Indians
had besieged three forts, and were with
difficulty repulsed. The Arancanians
are probably the bravest and most manly
race of Indians in South America
They feel that civilization is encroach-
ing upon their territories, and must be
driven back. Their hope is that in the
mountain fastnesses they may beat back
the Spanish invaders.

SUGG GGESTIoN-We have been inform
ed that the four blocks immediately sur
rounding Albany College, belong to that
corporation. These College grounds are
just far enough from the centre Of busi-
ness for pleasant evening or morning
walk. By the judieious expenditure Of a
small amount of money now, in the way
of erecting fence, planting few trees
and sowing with blue grass. ia short
time the College grounds would be the
most attractive place in our city. Thus
improving and beautifying the grounds
would not only enhaace their value, but
the value of property in the immediate
vicinity. With other cities and towns in
Oregon, we have nothing in the way of
a plaza or park which is free to the gene
raj public From suggestions made to
us by different citizens, we believe that
all will give liberaliy toward decorating
the grounds above mentioned, and making
them an ornament to our city. At pre-
sent they arc of no practical utility what
ever What say those In authority?

THE TWENTY SECOND BALL.-The
bail on the night of the 22d, at Parrish
Hall iu this city, given ty Albany Fire
Company No. l, was a grand success.
So far as we have heard an expression,
the opinion is the most favorable. The
hall was most handsomely decorated and
lighted up, principally through the exer-
tious and management of the Foreman
of the Company, JOS. Webber, and his
1st and I'd Assistants, Messrs. Farrell
and Rogers. The programme for dane
ing was SO arranged as to please every
body-a thing very rarely accomplished.
The suppcr-a general donation affair,
provided almost entirely by the ladies OF
our city-was another success, a big fea
ture Of the evening. It is usual to say,
.'the tables groaned under the weight, -
&c, but conscientious!y, now, we can't
say we heard the tables groan any to
speak of, but there was no lack of pas
tries or substantials and after all had
partaken freely, there were number of
splendidiy frosted cakes, pies. hams,
chickens, etc, left. which were disposed
of at private sale the next day. 1t was
decidedly the most pleasant party we
have attended for yeais- The total re
ceipts were s197 25; expenditures, s117
25, leaving $50 as net profit to the Com
pany.
