citizens of Benton county. Rev. DIR.
Dawne, of the M. L. Church, South,
delivered the funeral discourse, being
assisted In the religious.service by Rev.

shade of sadness and sorrow pervaded
the city of Corvallis during the
mournfui ceremonies-all feeling that
they had lost beloved neighbor and
valued citizen.
THE ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION.
The Odd Fellows last Saturday en-
gagged in joint celebration of the olth
anniversary of American Odd Fellow
ship by picnic at Corvallis, which
was a rare season of enjoyment for those
who participated. The Brethren of A l.
bany, accompanied by their families
and music-ed on the route by the AL
bany Brass Band, went up to Corvallis
in carriages, and after forming in pro-
cession with the Brethren of that city,
marched to the picnic grounds, about
mile South of that city, where an ap-
propriate and charming address was
delivered by that inimitab!e public
| lecturer, Rev. ID. *. Neshit. The ad-
dress was followed by dinner, and the
dinner by fraternal greetings and So
cial intercourse of those present. II
was an occasion of much enjoyment,
rand will doubtless long be remembered
with pleasing emotions by the vota-
ries of ''Friendship, Love and Truth"
there congregated.
A FIXED FAcT.-In view of the fact
that several of our wealthiest cit
izens have strenuously refused TO sub
scribe stock to the Santiam Canal, the
Directors have been recently consider
ably discouraged and had almost de-
SPARED of making that important ell
terprise an early success; but within
the past few days our citizens have
manifested more substantial interest in
the matter, and the Directors have
been stimulated to proceed with the
enterprise. The contract for its con-
struction has therefore been let to
Messrs. y. B. Morris, Ben. Turley and
o. Fry, Jr, ana work is To be COM
menced within the next few days.
He take great pleasure in being able
to chronicle this important fact. Every
citizen OF Albany should take special
interest in this enterprise and render it
all encouragement possible.
SEVERELY kIcKED.-Last Tuesday
an old lady. the wife of IVm. Hale.
who lives just across the willamette
from this city, while holding open the
gate for her husband to drive team
into the barn lot, was kicked in the
cl4E va lLlG AIOAS ao LAS ANAAt
passed where she was standing, knock
ing her PROSTATE on the ground and
cutting an ugly cash i'll the scalp. The
blow did not render the old lady un-
conscious but deprived her of her
reason and at last account she was still
out OF her right mind. DIR. Gamble,
the attending physician, does not
think the skull was fractured or that
the brain is permanently injured.
ONE OF BEECHER's CHRISTIANS
Ben. Hayden was the distinguished
title of an obstreperous Modoc who was
arrested OH our streets last Saturday
for being drunk and disorderly. Ben
hung back and refused to go tn the
calaboose, and we doubt ifthe ''Tiger of
Polk" would have recognized his name
sake after the arresting officer had sue
ceed in subduing the noble. red cuss by
breaking a couple of oak cudgels over
his scalp-lock. He was put in the city
lava bed until Monday morning. and
he is now debased to the level of a COM
mon white man by being compelled to
work upon our city improvements for
six days.
= He REFUTEs THE BASE INsINUA-
sTIoN.-Last weeks Walla Walla States
narn states that Curly Allen, printer
of that city, was recently drowned in
| the Sacramento river. And now comes
| this day the said defuncted Curly AL
| len, who is at present a classic hash
singer for the st. Charles Hotel, in
this city, and denies the allegation set
\ forth in the aforesaid Statesman, and
further deposeth that if the court house
knows herself land he thinks she are!)
he is not drowned nor in any other way
or manner bereft of terrestrial exist
ence.
