The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1869-03-20

BRIEF HOVE MArrERs.-Within the last
few days this section of country has been
blessed with some rain-showers. Rains are
much needed here now. as much for health
as for agricultural purposes.
Mr.. Leo Fox, of this city, has received q
teIegraphic dispatch from Portland to the
effect that Thomas Morris, one Of those
charged with violation of the revenue law
in not stamping certain articles of merchan-
die, obtained verdict in his favor in the
T. s. District Court, on last Tuesday. We
understand that one Of the pimps or inform
ers was impeached. We trust all the other
defendants may be equally as successful as
Morris.
H. W. Farmer, Esq, Of this city, leaves
here soon for White Pinc-having the White
Pine fever very badly. We trust he may be
lucky adventurer.
The new building for the Fire Engine is
now well under way, the frame work being
up and partially enclosed. Our Fire Com
pany exhibit highly commendable energy
in all matters pertaining to their vocation
as fremen.
We hare closely examined New Churn
now being manufactured by VIM. Gird OF
this place. 1t is simple in its construction,
light, easily cleaned and kept sweet, and
will produce butter from new milk in from
two TO four minutes. 1t is afforded at very
reasonable figure considering its superiority
over other churns.
1t is rumored quite currently around town
that Holiday & Co. have finally resolved
to run their road in straight line and leave
Albany out in the cold. We hope the ru-
NOR has really no foundation in truth; but
we are apprehensive that it is otherwise.
We learn from late San Francisco dis
patch that J. W. Cooley and Harry Cooley,
formerly Of this city, were seriously injured
by the explosion of canister of powder, on
board of the steamer Chrysopolis.
