BROWNSVILLE ITEMS.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT


BROWNSVILLE, March 2S, 1870.
We are pleased to say that we have a better lot
of items this week than we had last.
Messrs. james Blakely and James McCary,
with near 100 head of cattle each started for the
grassy slopes of Eastern Oregon last Thurs
day. They will drive to Portland, and there take
return and move his family and some stock up
there as soon as they cross the mountains.
They expect to make their homes in the Walla
Walla country for some years.
AS Spring is advancing, we notice some perma-
nent improvements going on in the shape of a
number of maple trees being set out along our
sidewalks This is as it should be, and people
ought to take more pains than they do to shade
and beautfy their dwellings.
On one evening of last week we had the pleas
ure of listening to the enlivening strains of a
violin of superior tone, manufactured in this
place. The front is Of fir the sides of yew, and
the back is of maple. The gentleman who man
ufactured this one has made several others durin
the past year, most of them good toned instru-
ments.
The NJ E. Church held a protracted meeting
last week. at the church known as Wesley Chapel,
four miles west of here, with marked success.
Twenty-six acccssions were made to the church,
and degree of interest manifested such was
never before witnessed in that neighborhood. We
suppose they have caught some of the revival
spirit that was manifested at Brownsville a few
weeks ago.
Yesterday n large funeral procession followed
to the grave the remains of Mrs. Hunter. an
aged resident of this place. protracted Illness
had confined her to her bed for number of
months, and she answered the summons with
willingness, when the master said " go hence

IMPROVEMENTS. = Considerable improvements
in the way of dwellings, etc., is under way, and
our mechanics will doubtless have their hands

Among the improvements talked of, we hear of at
least one brick business house which, if erected
as contemplated, will add not a little to the
business look of our city. We believe there is no
town in Oregon that has less chronic grumblers
than Albany. The prospects of city were
never brighter, and her people contented and
happy.

Grant elected Well, Grant being the sue

ward, with but one exception, and paid for the
paper. Nearly every man, when he handed us
the money, hoped we would give him a chance to
assure their readers that the ticket nominated by
the late Albany Convention will be elected by at
least two thousand majority. Now, fearlessly
assert that there isn't sensible man in the party
that believes any such stuff. But if there is a
man in Linn county, OF the State of Oregon, who
believes the Democracy will elect their ticket at
all, we offer him a chance to show his faith. Any
gentleman of the Democratic faith, who believes
that the Democratic State ticket will receive a
majority of the votes polled at the election in
June, can have the REGISTER sent to his any
