The Albany register. [volume] (Albany, Or.) 1868-18??, 1876-03-17

CENTENNIAL. PROMENADE SoCIABIE-
TO be given by the College Improvement
Society, OF Friday the 9TH day of Aprfl,
evening, at the Opera House. Plenty of
music, eatables, etc., besides the brass band
will furnish the promenade music. The
sociable is for the purpose of raising money
to erect fence around Albany Collegiate
Institute. We believe the entire mo-
gramme has not been decided upon, but
the ''old times'' will most probably be re-
presented in song and costume. It'll be
way mp, you can rest tassured of that much.
THE WRONG MAN.-It turns ont now
that the man who suiciled at the railroad
depot in this city last week, and whom
witnesses thought was John Frost, was
not John Frost. John Frost appears in
person and denies that he is dead, and dis
claims having any intention of so violent n
taking off as the shooting himself with a
shot gun. And now the question is, what
was the name of the suicide? It's hard
case indeed if ''crOwner's requests can't
settle these little matters so that people
may rest quietly on their verdict.
S1wAsH RECEPTIoN.-The following is
from the New York Eeeni,sg Mail:
"a complimentary reception in honor of
the heroine of the lava beds, Wi-nc-ma, the
Indian woman who saved the life of Com
missioner Mcacham at the peril of her own,
when General Candy and Rev. DR.. Thomas
toll hty
1873, will be given at the Cooper Institute
on Wednesday evening next. The enter
tainmsnt will be given for the purpose of
raising funds to purchase home for Wi
ne-ma. Wendell Phillips has consented TO
| deliver his new lecture, and Prof. J. Jay
i Watson, violiniSt, and Miss Annie A. Wat
ers, the pianist, hive also volunteered their
assistance. Col. 4. B. Meacham will recite
the tragedy of the lava beds, and Introduce
| Wi-nc-ma, after which she will hold a re-
ception on the platform. Tie tickets are
| fifty CENTS
| FESTIVAL, FAIR AND SoCIABLE.-Re-
member our southern Methodist friends
| give an entertainment this evening, at the
| Opera House, which will be way up. The
ladies have been diligently at work for two
or three weeks past, getting ready, and
they have succeeded, we are assured, in so
perfecting all their arrangements that sue
cess in every feature is guaranteed. We
| suppose the house will be crowded this
evening, especially rs Ladies and children
are admitted free, AMI gentlemen pay but
| 25c each Go and see
OLD FOLKS CONCEI;T.-A grand old
folks concert is iii preparation by the
Methodist people, to come off the last of the
present month ut the Pacific Opera House.
| The programme offered will be most ex-
ceIlent. unequalled by any yet presented.
In addition to home talent, quite a number
of musical celebrities from abroad are ex-
pectcd to take part. 1t will be different
from anything heretofore given in the city,
and is certain to give the fullest satisfaction.
Save yourself mp for it.
Now Is YOUR CIIANCE.-If you want a
large farm, all under fence, well waterc,l,
nearly every acre of which is good grain
Iand-over 200 acres now under cultivation

ways be reduced in the same ratio as Elres

Centennial from the Pacific coast will be
simply immense.
