That Eclipse.

Last Saturday evening just after the sun
had descended below the horizon, the moon
began rising in the east, when the earth was
exactly between the two, causing an eclipse
of the moon to us and OF the earth to the
man in the moon. Justhow the thing look
ed at Albany has not been definitely ascer-
tanned, as an awful density Of clouds hung
rays of the moon nor sun could penetrate a
WebfSot rain cloud, 50 that the scene was
only an every day one. Prof. Condit had
made arrangements to take in the show with
his class at the College, having placed his fine
telescope in position, but received the same
treatment offered all of US.

Al FIsndish Murder.

A horrible murder occurred at Indepen-
dence last Sabbath morning. Miss Simmis
Anatle, a promising young lady, was the
step-daughter of Wm. Landreth, with whom
she lived. Last Saturday night they had {
quarrel about some family matter. Landrett
being of very british nature, harbored the
matter in his heart until Sabbath morning
taking knife,he went TO his step p-daughter's s
room and butchered her in fendish man
ner, stabbing her in the temple and several
times in the body. She died probably i'm
mediately. After the murder Landreth
tried to commit suicide by drowning in a
slough near by but his son pulled him
out. He was captured and placed in the
city JAIL and has since been playing the in
sanity dodge. We have always opposed
lynching, but well it is aggravating
to say the least 70 see the delays Of law
month after month in such case.

First Presbyterian Church there. The Nj.

the fact that his sermons were remarkably
popular after over forty years preaching In
the same place, perhaps due to the fact that
he burned his sermons as soon as delivered,
a hint for Oregon preachers.
