good business sense to sec man investing in

chance of loss by fire. When it is known that

shop or his mill well insured, his credit stands
higher, as he is less liable to be thrown on his
back by the devouring element 1t being ae-
knowledged that insurance is one OF the neeess-

the "Patcnt Aron Pianos" in our Conscryatories

ing their durability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly, from

good one when it will bear such constant use with

The LECTURE NEXT WEDEEsDAY.-A note
ceiyea by Mr. Gorum, Secretary of the Library
Association, from Rev. VIM. Roberts, gives the
subject of his lecture, to be delivered on Wednes
day evening next, at the Methodist Church, thus !:
Mature and Science in Harmony with Revela-
ton, and also giving the following syllabus in
dicating the range of thought. "In this age of
books there are two volumes demanding special
attention One is the Bible the other, the Book
of Nature, and each by the same Author. The
first is the most wonderful book in existence, and
challenges our respect by its authority. The sec
ond is also wonderful; it is interpreted by Sci
ence. The sacred Canon was closed two thous-
and years ago, while yet Science was in its in
fancy. The human mind since then has not been
idle. Geology has upheaved the crust of the
solid earth, and delving deep, she has dug up the
remains of pre-Adamite generations. The test.,
nsony Of the Rocks is seen. The grapp'e OF ninu
with the vast problems of Astronomy has been the
War of Jupiter tn the Giants. Are these Books
/ in harmony with each other? Do the Geology ana
Cosmogony and Astronomy of these volumes
agree The lecture is intended to be an humble
contribution toward such harmony.

DIR. D. H. FAsY ALIAS DR. EEAM.-An indi-
ridual, claiming to be Prussian. aud styling
himself as DR.. d. Il, Easy, who arrived in this
city some weeks since, creased no little sensation
last week by dccampins, after having borrowed
from various parties 81 money aggre=atins
some $3.50. The money borrowed on the
pretense that he was daily expecting returns
from Europe. The telegraph was set in motion,
and on Saturday morning. the 18th, the Doctor
was arrested at Oakland while enjoy ing his break
fast, by Constable L. II. TafP. Tne Doetar put
on good deal of style when arrested, being
very indignant at the bare suggestion Ct he idea
that he would be guilty of deeamping with the
pitiful sum charged. In company with Consta-
BILE Tapp he took the stage bound for this city on
Sundt " morning last, and continued his journey
rs far as Eugene City, at which place. during the
temporary stoppage required in changing the
mail, he made good his scape, and at the latest
dates had not been caught. L IS stated By P2r-
ties here from Olympia that Dr. Easy is the man
who perpetratei the recent yillaiEies in Victoria
and on the Sound under the eosnomen of DIR.
Ream. The story first circulated here, that Easy
had away with the daughter of one of our citi
zens, deserting her at Corvallis is untrue.

THE SAxTIAN DrCH-Ne hear 1t from reliable
sources. that the matter of building ditch or
canal for the purpose of bringing in the waters of
the Santam to this city, is progressing favorably-
Our citizens fully aroused to the benefits to
crue by the accomplishment of such an improve
ment, and stand ready to put it through. We hope
to be able in cur next issue to report that all the
necessary arrang gements have been made, and the
contract for the execution of the work let. With
two railways eentering at this point ana line of
canal affording water power to run any amount of
machinery, what may not be predicted for the flu
ture of Albany. The settled conviction of our peo-
pie is that the water must and shall be brought
in, and the money and energy are here to do it.

CRY PARk.-Some months ago we wrote an article
noting the fact that our city was without any pub
lie park, and urging the necessity of Immediately
securing the necessary amount of land therefor,
while suitable locations could be obtained at
reasonable fgures. Portland, Salem, and N fact
almost every town of note the Pacific coast,
has one parks, suitably fenced and deco
rated, yet our City Fathers, far, from sheer
neglect or other cause, have failed to pay atten-
tion to this matter. The desircablcness of such
an institution, We opinc, none will gainsay, and
the opinion OF all with whom we have eonversed
upon the subject is that IS the tiGie to move
in the matter. The block directly ID front Of the
Court House has been suggested by some
appropriate place for park while others suggest
a place farther from the business centre ef the
city. There plenty of eligible blocks il vari-
Gus portions OF the city, that would answer all
the purposes required. that can be now obtained
and properly improved ct comparatively small
cost: but if the matter Is postponed from
time to time, it will be impossible for the city to
obtain. such property without coming down hand-
soncly- We hope those who have IN charge the
city's welfare, will think over this matter, and
ii something cannot be done in tue dlret tio.s
of at least public park, which will be open to
all citizens. We wish certainly to attract the
attention of all new coIners TO oar city and thus
secure IL large population, and we suggest that in
other way We, at little cost, beautity
and lend additional charm to city. than by
creating park, tastefuuy laid out with walks
and planted with trees and shrubIeFy.

The Masonic AND ODD FELLOW REUNION
On the evening of the 22d, the Masonic lodge of
this city gave an oyster supper at Corinthian
Hall, at which, by special invitation, Odd Fellows
and their families in attendance. We speak
bv the card, and we have the unanimous voice of
all present to back assertion, that no pleas
anter, socahle, or happier lot of people ever
assembled in the Masonic hall. We specially
mend the spirit which actuated Masonic
brothers in thus calling together in social reunion
the two great brotherhoods, and hope that the OBJ
icet aimed at may be furthered and from this time
forward there may be marked Improvement in all
our social relations community. After
fresameuts had been passed, Mr.. Humphrey,
Master Of the Lodge, introduced Father Shop
herd Of Iowa, who made u neat and appropriate
little speech. which was greeted with much ap
plause Mr. Backenste then followed, part of
the Odd Fellow lodge returning thanks for the
invitation extended. hoping that the bonds of
good fellow ship would be still closer eemented, and
giving outline of the principles nculcatcd by the
two orders aAd the good that would result to man
kind generally in their successful carrying out.
Both speeches were we'll timed and appropriate,
neither too long or too short. Tho balance of the
evening was happily spent by the large number in
attendance in the interchange of civiliues and
