SHoorINa AFFA1R.--The Albany Brew.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.--The Albany Brew
ery. on Broadalbin street, was the scene
of a shooting affair on Wednesday
evening. 1t seems that Linn. Bowers,
who lives three or four miles from this
citv. ia Benton county, went into the
brewery on the evening in question, and
called Cor beer. Charley Rogers, one of
the nroprietors, drew the beer. After
few more words between the parties,
brought about by Rogers disputing an
assertion made by Bowers, the latter re-
marked that he expected he would have
to shoot some -- before he lett town.
ROGERS remarked that if he wanted to
shoot. he could pitch in, and he would
paw all expenses. A few words passed
between the parties, when Bowers re-
marked. II will shoot ard drawing his
six-shooter he fred across the bar at
Rogers. but missed him. At the second
fire his aim was destroyed by the brewer,
John Meter, who caught hlm from pe-
hind. while Rogers hit him "one over
the head with n beer mug, cutting quite
a cash Bowers was soon disarmed ana
in the hands of the City Marshal, who
lost no time in carrying the shootlnger
into the presence of the City Recorder
Arnold Bowers, acting as his own at
torney, in justification of the shoot
ing, said it was an agreement between
him and Rogers, that he was to shoot
and Rogers was to pay all damages, and
he did shoot, and hurt nothing, while he
had received all the damages, in the way
of large cash on the head. In view of
all the facts in the case, the Recorder
bound Linn. Bowers over in $500 to await
the action of the grand jury.

MEssRs. l.. GOLDSMITH & Co.-On
last Tuesday Messrs- L. Goldsmith L. Co.,
of Portland, opened their immense stock
of foreign and domestic dry goods, at rs
Front aud rs First streets, to which they
invite the attention of the trade. From
a reference to their advertisement, which
appears in this issue, it will be seen that
their stock embraces every variety of
goods demanded by the people of Oregon,
manufactured expressly to meet their
wants, and they will be disposed of at such
prices as cannot fail TO prove beneficial
to the purchaser. If our merchants can
procure goods at as fair terms at Port
land as at San Francisco, it is obviously
to their interest so to do. Being confident
of the ability and the disposition of
Messrs. L. Goldsmith & Co. to do this,
we heartily recommend our valley mer-
chants to call and compare goods and
prices while at Portland. It will doubt
less save expenses to, and freight from,
San Francisco. The character of the
firm for hberality ana integrity is
unimpeachable.

RA1LRoAD MEErING.-A fair attend

RA1LR0AD MEETING.-A fair attend
ance was had at the railroad meeting on
last Saturday night, and upon the vote.
being taken, the meeting was unanimous
for accepting the note proposition of Mr..
Holiday, in lieu of the subscription pa
pers issued some time since. Each sub
scriber on those papers gives his note
for the amount subscribed, payable thirty
days after the road is finished to this
city, provided such completion is had by
July, 1871. 1t was the general feeling
that Mr.. Holiday is coming out of his
way, at considerable extra expense, and
against the wishes of those who would
fain see Albany left "out in the cold" in
making our city point on his road, and
that the $4,000 asked for is nothing
more than his just due for so doing The
form of the note, as given above, has been
accepted By Mr.. Holiday, and We sup
pose there will be no diff Guilty in chang
ing the subscriptions into notes. We
must have a railroad and to get it are
willing to aid in its construction. We
had better give the $50, 900 aud get the
road, even if it is not finished in two
years or more, than to refuse TO 'come
down" and get 10 road. Our prosperity
as city depends to a great extent, we
might almost say, wholly, on our being
on the main trunk of the Oregon & Cali
fornia Railroad, and SO small matter as
the changing subscription into note
shouldn't cause moments hesitaucy in
any one who has at heart the interests of
this community. The form of note has been
carefully gotten up and printed, and
com1fttee consisting of Messrs. Hanon,
Montgomery, Barrows, Froman, Conner,
>Hogue aud Foster appointed to attend to
getting them signed By those whose
names are attached to the subscription
papers. 1t is to be hoped that each per
son will sign upon presentation, SO that
thcre may be as little delay as possible in
fixing up the whole matter

years thereafter he died, leaving his wife
and children nothing to protect them
from actual want, save and except this
life policy. The New England, through
its manager for Oregon, comes promptly
forward and pays the $4,000 in full, and
the family are placed in good circum-
