The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1872-11-15

evening, by Rev. DR.. Lindsey, of
Portland, for the benefit of the Ero-
delphian Society of Albany College,
was received by tolerably full house
and was highly appreciated. DIR.
Lindsey has we'll modulated voice,
an easy and fluent articulation and II
prolific flow of elegant language, and
all this coupled with mind highly
cultivated and well stored with scien-
titic and practical knowledge, could
not fail to render his lecture highly
instructive and an intensely interest

dience was not more numerous, as well
for the credit of our city as for the
worthy cause for which the lecture
was delivered.

of wanting to be rid of his life, and
though he seems 10 have moral sense
enough 10 restrain him from suicide,

coil. Yesterday morning he ii.lplored

ENTERPRISE As will be seen by
reference to our advertising columns,
our enterprising friend, Wheeler, at
Shedd, is paying cash for nearly all
kinds of country produce. Judging
from the well selected stock of goods,

"money's worth.'
PERsoNAL.-IFe had the pleasure of
call from our distinguished friend,
ex-senator J. w. Nesmith, last Mon
day. The General is in good state OF
preservation, and thinks that Grants
election only more fully illustrates the
70 ct that rascals and thieves are at
premium and patriots and honest men
at a discount in this country. We be-
lieve that General Nesmith is eminent-
ly "ke-rect," as usual.
