RowNsAILLE. Tonight Mr.. r. Banl-
ford Is to be married to Miss Belle Windo
nj, at the residence of Mr.. Z. d. Meyer, In
this city....w. r. Kirk has got new
street laid ont In his addition, which makes
quite an improveme mt In that part Of town
-. Robinson & West, Of Albany, have
fine lot of logs In the Calapooia, ready to
come down when the water raises. Much
logging Is also being done on the Mo-
hawk and Mckenzie this summer. The
air resounded till midnight last night with
the burning OF powder and the chorus and
shouts of excited men -. Last Friday Rev
@. Sperry and wife returned home from a
two months visit 10 Iowa. They had a
very pleasant trip, but were glad to get back
to Oregon. :. .Messrs. Standish and Dyson
returned from the Blue river mines last
week. Owing to the rain they did not fin.
ish their trail TO their mines, but got with
In about mile and half and intend 10 re-
turn In December and finish Il and do
some work on the claim. The Crnsus
claim had just got the returns from ton
of ore shipped to San Francisco. II milled
them between s7o and $50, mostly gold,
and the fate of the camp, that has been so
long hanging In the balance, Is at last de.
cided, and there Is much rejoicing, for
now a road will be built and a mill 40 In
In the spring, and the work of active de-
velopment will begin In real earnest.--Cor.

A ACoMrosIrfoS.-Just what little girl
wrote the following composition on Boys"
we do not know but II Is cute enough 10
have been written by some Albany school
girl "Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas. and girls are young wo.
men that will be young ladies by and bye.
Man was made before woman. When God
looked at Adam lie said to Himself, well,
guess can do better II try again. and
then He made Eve. God liked Eve so
much better than Adam, that there has been
more women than men ever since. Boys
are trouble. They are wearing on every.
thing but soap. II had my way, half the
boys In the world would be little girls, and
the rest would be coils. My papa Is so
nice that guess he must have been a girl
when he was boy"
SMALL Pox IN PoRTLASp.-The papers
OF that city of to-day say very little about
the condition of small pox there. Never
theless there are over fifty cases of the dis
ease. DIR. Cusick, brother OF ]. w. Cusick,
who has been there, says the number ex.
ceeds fifty. A drummer says II Is nearly
one hundred. A stray case In the suburbs
of Salem Is reported In full, while the many
and the progress OF the disease at their
own doors are not mentioned. With them
II Is the business of Portland against the
welfare of the Northwest. II the reports
that reach here In reference 10 the extent OF
the disease there are true the course Of the
press OF that city In suppressing ard lying
about the disease Is reprehensible.
A DIFFERENT TaISc.-If this isn't true
about Portland man one OF our exchanges
Is to blame. The man staid out election
night and went home towards morning full
of gin. This was the dialogue that fol.
lowed "That you ~ ayes, dear" "what
time Is II ?" AUST little after eleven, /
think" "No such thing" she snapped !;
~ heard 1t strike twelve o'clock long ago.
Now, sir, where have you been ?" "Listen-
ing 20 the election returns" ayes, Of
course betting, too, suppose ?" ayes, a
little" ''Oh, dear me How can you be-
have so You, the father OF growing
family I'm panied beyond -" q But |
won FIVE hundred dollars" broke In the
husband. "Oh, did you dear oh, how
deliciously jolly OF course you'll put II
In the bank for the children. Come here
you dear old sweet thing and let me kiss
you" Curtain falls and "such Is life In
the far West"
WHEAT.-A wheat man tells US that the
market has been looking little blue, with
prospect of slight drop in few days.
rs cents, though, continues to be paid, and
the outlook Is that this will not be increas.
ed. A great many have not sold yet,
though the sales have been much more
active than generally at this season OF the
year. Some one who has figured the mat.
| ter out says the best average price for twen.
ty years has been In October and Novem.

Heren shipped to New York seventy.twc
bales of hops which had been sold pre-
viously 7on the same date he sold sixty bale
to parties In Cincinnati, which are to b,

hops are lower by from ~ to 4 cents pc
pound than a few weeks since and the out
look Is not favorable for any advance. -
