A young man, who has not made gard ening hit business, wanted to help his brother-in-law, so he saded up quite a piece of ground, took the eed given him, consisting of radish, squash, onion, pea, beans and several other varieties, and hav ing been told to sow them, did so by mixing them tin oromUcuouslv. "sowing" them over the ground and raking them in. It is needless to say there was some astonish ment expressed when his mode of garden ing was found out. The man who does business without advertising mixes things in about the same way, and the expense ac count is generally "the largest. O The Man About Town U informed that local insurance agents are kept busy trans f erring policies from foreign to home com panies. There Is a good spirit growing up generally through Oregon to support home institutions. Patronle those who help build up our glorious State. O Speaking of building up our State, few realize what an influence the local paper has as an advertiser. Take the Democrat for instance. It reaches nearly every State in the U. S. of course In limited numbers. Where it, as well as other Oregon papers, goes. It is extensively read, and we know of many cases where immigration has beea made here through its influence. The Democrat makes it a point not to allow an Issue pass without speaking for Albany and Linn count v.

A surprise supper was given on Tuesday evening at the W. C T. U. Hall, in this city, in honor of Mrs. J. II. Townsend, President f the Union, who has so faithfully filled that position for several years. It was one of the pleasantest affairs In the history of the Union. Those attending were filled with renewed purposes to work in the cause of temperance, as well as with a remarkably fine lunch. Several toasts were responded to. Mrs. Henrietta Brown, acting as toast master. The Albany W. C. T. U. i in a very flourishing condition. The Union Is to be congratulated on having so true and able a President, and the President in having such an energetic band of co-'abor-ers. Tried to Krape. Michael Martin, a prisoner in the County jail, attempted last Saturday to saw his way out of the jail with a case knife, taking the same place in the rear of the right corridor immortalized by the escape of Saundcrs.He had cut a bar off when discovered by Sheriff Smith. It U a fact worthy of note that neither during the administration of the present Sheriff or his deputy has a prisoner escaped, the only cases, we belie ve.in the his tory of the county. We predict that Mr. Smith's successor, Mr. Smallman, wi 1 be as careful In this respect A Little Treabl. There was a little trouble at the Siletz Agencv last week.rcsulting in Agent Lane : . ' , . . . , .! and Miss H. Ansel.,a teacher, being ordered . to depart, which they did.the former though only temporarily. The Albany militia were 1 I- , L.1U. Ik.ttk.. micrht lw.r:ill.,lnn , for assistance, and some of the boys are said to hae begun to tremble. If called out as they might be sometime there U no com pan'v in Oregon that would do better work. Ths troub e is said to have been caused by some white men ; but the "bottom" of the matter is not yet learned. I'inr iSadjr'-. Last Saturday the Albany tire depart- ; ment receiyed two elegant badge for the j Chief and Ass'l Chief Engineer of this city. The former is of gold and the latter of sil ver, each of a very tasty design. The cost of them was a little less than forty dollars They were made by Braxmar.ofNewYork, and are probably the finest in Oregon. $30 of the purchase money was presented the department by Messrs. Vance and Dubruille after the fire a few months ago.in which their property was saved by the department. It Exploded. The fifteen year old son of Mr. Stewart, lesidingon Jay Blain's place, in the eastern suburbs of the city, found a blasting cap last Sabbath, and was manipulating a light ed match in it Interior to show some other boys how the thing worked, when the "blasted" thing went off Three of young Stewart's fingers, the thumb and two ad joining fingers, also went off, at the first joint. They were properly dressed by Dr. Wallace and will do as well as fingers can do with the most important part left off. Spring Fever. This disease an account of the uncom monly fine weather y been prevalent dur ing the past week or two.resulting in a gen eral demand on the part of our citizens for fresh groceries and produce. In consequence Conn Brothers, the popular grocerymen, have had a lively trade,people with and with out spring fever rushing to their place for eatables. It pays to trade with them. A Correction. It has recently com to our knowledge that parties are circulating a report that we are going oat of the boot and shoe business. We with to state that such is not the case, but that ws have to-day a larger stock in thst Hue than ever before, aud that we have many new and elegant atyles not to be found else where in town.

Governor J. l St. John.the distinguished gentleman of Kansas, whom Jas. G. Blaine beat for the presidency of the United States, lectured at the Opera House, In this city,on Thursday night of last week to a$ people, about evenly divided between men and wo men, aim Democrats and Republicans. The speaker talked for fully two hours In an elo quent straln.showlng himself to be an orator and an actor. He kept his audience in re markably good humor,reeelvlng continuous rounds of applause regardless of sentiment His remarks show to the Intelligent man that he Is not stumping the state for either Democrats or Republicans ; but some what for Prohibitionists and to a great extent for Mr. St. J., who gets $5 a night for his services. Few lectures are ever delivered here more replete with vivacity. One gets interested and some mad at the same time He is entitled to the credit of striking from the shoulder. One doesn't have to be an advocate to hear a man of national fame ; It is a narrow person who cannot do so, If he refrains merely from prejudice. People who throw mud at St. John generally get spat tered themselves. It rebounds. This is a big, free country of ours and it pavs to be liberal towards strangers wandering through our valley, for they might sometime want to come out here ami start a milk ranch or woolen mill. On the tariff question Mr.St. John has a big back bone, and certainly on that point Is very reasonable ; but then peo ple generally arc waking up on the subject. Fruit 'miner Friday a Democrat man visited the new fruit cannery of Mueller & Garrett In the eastern suburbs of the city and examined the m -Jus .i a I, of that new enterprise. The building is about 40x100 feet in sixe and already contains the facilities for good work A splendid engine and large vats are in po sition in the rear, while at the right is the machinery, all of the best make, for manu facturing the cans. Seven or eight hands a . . arc now at worn turning out 1000 to 1 joo iC4n, a UJV It is the intention of the firm to put up about 5000 cases or 1 20,000 cans of fruit and vegetables the coming season, which will require the employment of forty to fifty hands during part of the season.all of which will be white labor. The fruit canned will be of large variety, those generally canned by first-class canneries, and as well a large variety of vegetables will be used. Thu will offer a reliable market to farmers and gardeners for all the produce in the line they can raise. The firm will also have a pick ling department of a limited extent,and pro pose in a short time to establish a huge fruit evaporator In connection with the cannery. This establishment is entitled to the best patronage of our citizens and should be supported by our merchants generally. Sonrwl. ItHiablr. luiM-rvat r.

Main Street, Albany, Oregon Had a Bed Shirt Or. Last Friday evening on the corner of First and BroadalblnStrcets In this city Maj. Still well, S. A., of Cast Portland, was knock ed down by William Price, an old cltlxen of Albany, with headquarters at the Bank Ex change. Mi Price was Immediately arrest ed, deposited $t0 ball, and after a couple adjournments was tried before Recorder I leuton and a large crowd on Wednesday forenoon, Hon I. II Montanye appearing for the city, and Capt N I! Humphrey and II II Hewitt for the defense. The facts in the case as nearly as we could learn, and as appeared partly from the trial, were these : Price, dressed in a red Salvation shirt, which he had borrowed from a backslider, ap- m i.n In . I ! In- Ariiv. consUtinir of five mem- bers, while they were going through their usual street exercises, and attempted to pass directly through their circle even heading for the small space between the Major atul a young lady Salvationist, this tvhitr he u . tibiwt hi bitMHtss In a Salvation shirt. Major Stlllwell objected and with one or two of the young ladies took hold of him. Then l'rlce tore loose tram them ami stepping for ward, Immediately after a police had Inter fered, struck Stlllwell as heretofore stated, knocking him down. Whether he trans acted the business he was about we have not learned. The Recorder decided that the first assault was by the Major, and that Price had a right to go through the circle In a red Salvation shirt, as the Army had no tight to obstruct the street and keep men at .ass. . s . a as . s a awny from their Business, anu mscnargeo the prisoner. The Recorder stated that If both men had been arrested for disturbing the peace he would have fined them. The case explains itself. ' ' Count y Canvass.
