The cOrnet Band.
WESTON. Sent. 90.

WEsTOS, Sept. 90.
Mr.. Editor AS there las beeh
and is now great deal of talk going
on about town in regard to tho Band
charging the A. 4 NJ. Society for
their services during the coming Fair,
| ask the privilege of your paper to
let such men know how we feel on tho
subject. One plea is that the citizens
have been very liberal, and made
US what we are by furnishing funds to
qualify US to play in public, and that
We arc under obligations to them. As
for them being liberal towards US we
don't deny, but we do not consider
ourselves las Bund) under obliga-
tons to any one. In our Concerts,
&c, We think We have given them as
near value received as Concerts for
other purposes have done, that have
been equally as well patrOnized as
ours, Our time is worth something to
us aud | can assure them it is0oL
for our own amusement that brings us
on tho streets Of evenings to play =
Another reason given is that some of
the Band are stockholders, which is
true but they have paid oil the as.
scssments called for, and we think
every stakeholder could with the same
PrOpriety be called upon to donate
three days of their time for tho benefit
Of the Society. AS for social gather.
ings in or near town, we have
always given our services gratuitously,
and expect to continue to do SO, but II
We are to play for everything free Of
charge, on the plea that We are under
obligations to the citizens, and not to
turn the time spent in acquiring what
little mastery wo have of our instru.
mCnts to some profit, We arc ready to
give up at any time, and let some
others try it for a while.

Sutton vs.. LunibcrpOrt.

70 Mc Editor Of The Democrat:
Some person, or persons, not strictly
familiar with the respective local facts
pertaining to each locality, have come
to the conclusion (and 50 expressed ii
publicly that the young aud thriving
town Of Lumberport, in this county lar
slrpasscs in every essential particular
the town Of Sutton, and county scat Of
the aforesaid old county, all Of which
we propose to dissipute by the cnum.
Grafton Of I few, among the many,
available facts, and do SO moreover, not
with view, by any means, Of dispar.
aging the crcditablc efforts ofour Lum-
berport friends and fellow citizens !;
but for tho sake merely of placing our.
selves in proper and correct position
before the eyes of the peOplc-Or at
least that intelligent portion Of them
who take any interest in the social or
financial affairs of our county. That
the citizens Of Lumberport deserves no
small amount of credit and eulOgy for
the energy and enterprise that has
characterized their action for the last
two or three years all will freely and
fully admit; yet that the town Of Sut.
ton (with fewer advantagcs) las not
made equal strides in tho same direC.
ton, none can safely deny or question.
For when We take into consideration
the fact that the close of the late re.
bcllion is the era from which We date
our commencement as a town, and fur.
ther review the then chaotic condition
fiho titles 10 really by virtue of the
bankruptcy Of the principal former
owners, and the consequent fimsy
character Of the basis Oh which to build,
all of which required various and pro.
tractcd suits, DEGREES, and sales to ma.
ture the titles to much Of the property
here. When these things arc taken
into consideration TO say nothing Of
the general financial depression and
ruin that everywhere prevailed in this
and adjoining countiesj and then look
at the evidences Of improvement on all
sides-llftccn new, connections and
stylish houses for residences aud bust.
ness, have been erected, furnished and
filled. One Temporary Court House
and one substantial jails, aud one Of
the largest and most thoroughly
equipped water mills in tho State, b..
sides other various and useful I'M.
provoments, TOO tedious to mention,
even by scores. When all these things
arc noted aud fully appreciated, the
magnitude aud momentum OF tho NOV.
YRS is apparent. and filings to the world
IN example Of euergy, industry aud
hriit seldom equaled aud never sur.
,assed. Consequently, while wo arc
rec'to admit and fully appreciate tie
OmmcndaGlo efforts Of our Lumber. ]
'ort friends, yet we icmur to cOmpari. !
ons based w other than the mos,
'lainly clncidatcd facts and coucomi.
amt clrcumstanccsns before enumerated.
accredited with these we challenge

they discover that they possess the most
proseaic of all metals, lead. When Califor.

Oregon had but little to boast Of In the shape
of mineral treasures. Her lcaden windfsll
