Democrats to the front! A Byordorof the CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE. ' Dated, Albany, Deo, mh 1874. A Sad Affaib. Ve noticed a fu neral procession leaving Monteith's building last Wednesday, and upon in quiring into the circumstances we were ' told a very melancholy tale. A ma rled couple left Missouri for Kansas a year or two ago, and had just got com fortably settled whonjthe grasshoppers came along and destroyed everything they had raised. They then sold out for about enough money to pay their fore to this city, where they arrived a week or so ago. The wife and a babe about seven months old were taken sick during the journey, and the latter lived only a few days after arriving ,in this city. Grief for her lost child bore heavily upon the poor mother and as she was completely worn out by the hardships of the journey across the plains, she survived only a few days -and was then taken and buried by her babe. The father payed for the use of two carriages at the funeral, but when Mr. Canon heard that he was nearly penniless, and also had four small children to provide for, he immediate ly started around among our citizens and in a little while had received $30 or 40 for the. emigrant which he turned oVer together with the money paid to him for the use of his carriages. There are many parallel cases to. this through out our State this full, and the people ought to hunt them up and lend a help-' ing hand to tho poor homeless emi grants. . The Entertainm ent. The euter . tainment given by theKrodelphiiin So ciety, at the College Chapel last Fri day night was exactly what we pre dicted it would be the best entertain ment ever given in this city. It had one fault though It was entirely too Jong. The chapel was literally packed, a fireat many persons having to stand up during nearly the whole of the evening. The music was splendid, the vocal part of it being a great deal better than we have ever had before. The orations, declamations, recitations and essays were with few exceptions ren dered in a matter which refleots great credit upon the members of the Socie ty. Some of the tahleaux were grand while othors were amusing, but taken together they wers altogether as good as we have had before; The exercises were spiced by the "Statistics" of the society, the"Muslngs of a Chronic Grumbler" and ono of the most mirth provoking charades we have ever seen produced upon the staRe. Every per son went home well pleased, but they would have been better pleased if they had been dismissed an hour earlier. Matbimonial. Well, our jolly meat cutter, Charley Wilson has got married; at least tbe boys around town say so. They say he was married to Miss Jennio Hunt at Geo. Simpson's, but this is as far as their information extends. They don't know when the marriage took place nor who "tied the knot," but it is supposed thatltev. Jos. Hannon was chief manipulator, as ho la up to all such electioneering dodges Jnst at present. Charley carried thi ngs along rather (lurk and got ahead of all the gossips this time. That he is mar ried we are confident because he sent us up some refreshments that would have done honor to the board of a king, and consequently we extend to the couple our congratulations and wish them a long and happy life. ' A Close Call. In the last month we have recorded the horrible death of two persons which were caused by ac cidents with Are, and this week came near being called upon to publish an other. This time It was little Etta Brown, and she had a very close call indeed. She had been down in the cellar and her clothing became ignited In some way from a candle- which she was carrying in her band. As soon as she discovered her danger she com menced screaming and ran up the steps, where she was met by Miss Maggie Miller, who succeeded in put ting out the flames before the little girl was injured to any extent. Dibtbict School. The fall term of our district school closed on last Wed nesday. The attendanoe has been pret ty large, about two hundred pupils be ing enrolled during tbe term. The winter term begins next Monday un der the management of T. J. Stites as principal. Mr. Nichols takes charge of the intermediate department, Mr. Kitchen retiring to attend medical lec tures at Salem. Mrs. Mansfield will still have charge of the juvenile de partment A Fra Cape. We have lady's fur cape at this office which was left at 8. E. Young's store a year or so a go. Mr. Young has been making inquiries for the owner ever since it was left there, but never succeeded in finding any one to claim it. Any one proving property and paying for this notice can have the cape. " , A Beau. Charley Mealey killed'a nice black bear up: at bis ranch and brought it down and sold it to Charley Wilson last Monday. We are under oblieatiousto Wilion for "hunk" of K. THE TOWN OH LEBANON. A DescrlptloH of this Enterprising Little Unrtf. , Lkbanos, Oregon. Editor Democrat : In these dull dnys of Winter when news are less exciting we profit often by learning pf each other the progress of the past and prospects of the future. Lebanon, unlike many of the smaller towns of the country, has been making a steady growth during the post season up to the present time. Six new dwell ings, a saloon, and also a mammoth livery stable have hgen erected here this fall, and next season will witness ten or twelve more dwellings and busi ness houses built. W. B. Bonaca has erected the fine stable alluded to, and by steady work has reared a struoture for the accommodation of the traveler second to none' in the country or south of Salem in the valley. ' ., The business houses here are com prised of three dry good stores, one gro cery store, one drug store, two black smith shops, one cabinet shop, one jeweler shop, one gun shop, one livery stable, one milliner shop, one harness shop, ono shoe shop, one market house, onit saloon, one tin store and two good hotels. A wagon maker would do well here, and make money. " 1 The business firms and different me chanics here learn to vie with each other in accommodating theirscustom ers and winning their confidence. The Masons, Odd Fellows and Grangers have rooms in town, and hold weekly and monthly meetings. North of the limits one half mile is located the Santiam Acadeiny,Lebonon Grist Mills and Planing Factory. An unexcelled school is taught by Prof. L. M, Nickerson at the Academy and students from a distance can receive a first class academic education by at tending it. Churches with their tall spirus also adorn our city, showing to the passing traveler our reverence to the Deity. The Lebanon Mills are owned by the Elliins Bros, and were erected in the years '71 and '72 at a cost of nearly $20,000. These Mills are built on the head waters of the Albany and Santi am Canal and are propelled by water received from it. Extensive water powers owned by them can be had on reasonable terms for factories and all varieties of machinery. The Santiam Canal, heading at this place, forms a system of navigation that needs but time to prove its impor tance to the necessities of the business and farming community. ElkinsBros. alone will ship on its waters to Albany 12 miles North-west from Lebanon over 2,000 tons of wheat and flour during the year, which will give an in come to the Conal Co. of $1000 a year or more for freights! and also allow the milling firm to give tho farmers the Albany prices for their wheat, less two cents on the bushel. The Elkins Bros, will eulurge their granary room here next season, and they bIbo contemplate building a warehouse at Albany to re ceive their wheat and Hour ready for shipment on the railroad or river.. The Canal Co. will greatly improve their canal next season for more per fect shipping which will greatly en hance its value as well as remunerate the owners. One of the finest and most improved planing and door and sash factories of the State is being fast brought to com pletion located in this village. It is at or near tho Lebanon Mills and Is owned by Messrs. S. A. Nickerson & Co. To a stranger hunting a location for a business place or fanning country we would most cheerfully recommend such to visit Lebanon and the surround ing neighborhood. Professors- Nickerson, Wooley and Bishop, together with several other literary and scientific gentlemen, will shortly commence a series of evening lectures which will continue through tho winter months. These lectures will no doubt be very entertaining and a source of great enjoyment and useful employment. DENIZEN. . The Calvaby Society. This is the name of a religious Society which was organized in Oils city last week. It is created by the union ,of the congrega tions of the Presbyterian and Congre gational Churoues, and now holds ro ligious services and Sabbath School at the church of the latter denomination. As tho membership of each of these denominations was too small to pay a liberal salary to a minister it was thought best to unite them for a few yeans. This was accordingly done, the two churches uniting for a period of three years under the above name, each one preserving its Identity as a sepa rate denomination. We are glad to see this, for, as their doctrinal differ ences are very slight, they can thus work together in the general cause to a much greater advantage, aud at the same time can add to the membership of each of the denominations that compose the society. The following officers of tho society have been elect ted and will serve to January 1st, 1S70: Clerk, E. F. Sox; Treasurer, Dr. Plum mer; Executive Committee, Nelson Wright and Profs. Warren and Aber nethy. The services of a minister who will devote the whole of his time to tills congregation will be secured by the first of January, but until that time Rev. E, Jt. Geary will occupy the pulpit every alternate Habbath. The flabbath School conducted by mis (so ciety is held at half past two In the afternoon, and though it has only Been in operation one or two weeks is already one of the largest and best conducted in our city. Ciianoes. Sam. Young has bought the corner lot which is occupied by V il- lert Busch as a wagon and black smith shop. Consideration, $1,100. The property occupied by Wm. Pe ters was purchased of Mr. P. Adams a few days ago by Messrs. i'tters auu Miller. That neat little dwelling built by ! Geo. oung wuicn Mn. jiLv-oum... j now uses as a warning nuu., ; purchased a few days ago by J. A. '. Spangler. Consideration, S1000. I 1 , ,, . Albany Colleoe. The fall term ! of this excellent institution closed last j Wednesday, and the winter term will ; commence next Mon.lay. This is one of the best educational Institutions In the t-tate, and U cow in a more 'flourisUiiijj coiiuitiou tbiu ever before, nOtllE AND ABROAD. Rainy. , ' Whitlow's gone. Wheat buck to 50 cents. Koads are perfectly horrihle all over the valley. Mnny a poorunprotectedgobblorwas sacrificed yesterday. I Our boys had a splendid time at the dance at Corvallls, last Friday night. Geo. Blakely, of Brownsville, throw himself in sight, at our office last week. We noticed the familiar "phiz" of our old friend Gus. Wheeler on the street last Tuesday. Dr. Haskell failed to put in an ap pearance at the Pacifio Opora House last Tuesday evening. Miss Rovia Alexander was taken down last week with a violent attack of inflammatory' rheumatism. ' Three extra steamers have been put upon the river to engage in the trade between this oity'and Portland. ' Parker & Morris are shipping a lot of about 50.000 bushels of wheat which they bought last week at 60 cents. Miss Maria Irvine and Miss Grace Hanna, of Corvallls came down last Friday to attend the entertainment. Judge Baldwin, Cap. Humphrey, C. E. Wolverton and M. A. vBaker were in attendance at the Polk county Circuit Court at Dallas this week. We had a call yesterday from A. J. Plnkstone, traveling agent of the Sac ramento Record. . He is on a canvas ing tour through our State and reports good success. .. The first quarter of the current year of the Albany College was finished last Wednesday. The second term will begin next Monday there being no vacation until the holidays. The Erodelphian entertainment last Friday evening was altogether too long. The audience was kept until half-past eleven o'clock, when the en tertainment closed with a quartet 'Sweet Hour of Night." The music wasplendid, but it is not to be sup posed that the words would "tickle" the audience to any great exteDt. New Insurance Company. The North Pacific Mutual Life Association is the name of new company which was organized in Portland a month or two ago. Itisstrictly a home company and numbers among ifs officers some of Portland's most solid men. It is a well-known fact that th insurance rates of the Eastern companies are out rageously high, but it is designed by tills Association to offer to the public facilities for life insurance at actual cost. The plan offered by the Associa tion proposos that say 1000 persons of a like or near age baud themselves together for mutual protection to their families, aud incase of a deatli of any one of their number each surviving member shall in effect pay to the fam ily of the deceased one dollar. This is the only oompany whose workings can be readily comprehended by the policy holders, and for this simple reason we think it will receive a hearty support. Leightou Blaiu is agent at this place, and any person wishing to inquire iuto the workings of the Association can get all desired information from him. Cheap Goods. Our readers, espec ially Grangers, will do well to glance over the price list of Bradley, Marsh & Co. in to-day's Democrat. They sell goods for cash at retail for 20 per cent. less than wholesale .houses chargo oil long credits. They take produce in ex change for merchandise and also make liberal advances on shipments consign ed to any of their branch (houses, of which they have a number in the lead ing Eastern and Europeaiiclties. They possess superior facilities for purchas ing goods at low rates, and are there fore enabled to offer extra inducements to their patrons. When you are in Portland , go and take a look at their elegant establishment. The Geanoeb. The stockholders of the Granger Publishing Co., organ ized last Saturday evening and elected the following officers: President, C. P. Burkhart; Secretary, A. S. Mercer; Treasurer, A. B. Morris; Directors, C. P. Burkhart, Allen Parker, A. B. Morris, Geo. Simpson and S. Mont gomery. C. P. Burkhart will occupy the position of Business Manager, A. S. Mercer will be the editor, and Thos. Parker foreman. Tho first number of the paper will appear next week. Godey's Lady's Book. The De cember number of this magazine is at hand and "chuck full" of everything that tends to make the ladies happy. Spine of the best holiday stories we have ever hod tho pleasure of reading can be found in this number of Oodcy. Subscribers sending $3.15 to the pub lishers will receive the magazine for one year and a copy of "The Rescue," which they claim to bo the handsom est chroino ever offered by a publisher to Ills patrons. Address L. A. Godey, Philadelphia, Pa. Burglary Last Sunday night a man named Frank Allen broke iuto Canon's livery stable and stole from the hostler the sum of $2.25. He was arrested the next morning aud tried before Justice Hannon, who bound him over on the charge of burglary to await action of the grand Jury, nis bail was placed at $100, but it is likely the county will have to furnish him with free lodging until March. Questioned. The "Grumbler" at the entertainment the other evening gave us a nice little slap, in connexion with our new office. Well, it is true that our old "chief is In San Francis co, but we arc not sure that he Is still the bead of the establishment, for the reason that as he made the trip by sea he may have thrown up that imnition together with everything else before reaching his destination. Gone from our Gaze. The depart ure of K. D. Whitlow from our midst will create a vacaucy long to be felt. He left on Thankngiving day forx Ore gon City with the intention of making that his future residence. We com mend him to the good people of that burg for his many virtues. Good bye. Old Whit; you may rest assured we remembered you in our thanksgiving yesterday. Piano Tcnino. Prof. Francis wish es us k give notice that he will be in j our city next week fm the purpose of tunics pianos. TDB H I11JAT PROSPECT. John H. Smith, Secretary of the State Grange, gave us a call last Wed nesday while ou his way home from Portland, where he has been for the last week or two engaged iu helping to straighten out the recent wheat com plications growing out of tho failure of the Morgan firm. From him we gain tho gratlllyihg intelligence that the business has been so arranged that our farmers will probably, get the full price for their wheat which they ship ped through that firm. The Patrons are still disposed not to give up the plan of shipping their, own. grain, and the State Grange has chartered the bark Privateer, and will load it with 47,000 bushels of wheat in a few days. The State Grange has secured this vessel through their agents, Eodgers, Meyer & Co., at a considerably less figure than those which they chartered through the Morgan firm. For the other vessels which they loaded they paid 4 2s 6d per ton,; but this vessel they get for about $5.00 loss on the tou, which will leave a nice little margin for our farmers. We hope our farm ers may realize a good price for tholr wheat by this transaction, as it will help to a great extent to loosen up money matters in the valley. The market at this city still remains theh same no firm that we know of pay ing over 55 cents. To Subscribers. We are happy to state that our call for cash on sub scription is being liberally responded to by the farmers. Thero may be some yet, though, who have not heard that we are building a new omce ana have two new presses coming. To those we would say that it takes cash to make these improvements, but If they will come up and pay we will be all right. P. C. Harper & Co. -AH persons knowing themselves indebted by note or otherwise to the late firm of Howell Harper & Co., are earnestly requested to call at once aud settle tho same, as the money is now due and we want it. A word, &c. is sufficient. We also have a very flue stock of goods to sell, which we offer very low for cash or merchantable produce. Come and see us. Lectures. The course of Sabbath evening lectures on "The Decalogue" which are being delivered at the U. P. Church by Rev. 8. G. Irvine are at tracting a good deal of attention, the church being crowded every evening. The subjeet for the lecture ou next Sabbath evening is "The Fifth Com mandment." . Good Boating. The rains of the last two weeks have raised the river so that it is now at a good boating stage, and steamers are whistling at our wharves at all hours of both day and night. An immense amounti of grain is being carried down the river, but it will tako a good while yet to pump "Old Linu" dry. Thakksgivino Dinner. Tho ladies of tho M. E. Church gave a very good dinner at tho Opora House yesterday, and when we left it looked as if it was going to bo well patronized. , Wo went to press before we could ascertain their receipts. UfiS For the very best Photographs, go to Bradley fc Kuiofsnn's Gallery with an ELEVATOR, 420 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. N. Baum cannot pay this year, but he informs the farmers and publlo in gen eral that lie has returned from San Francisco with a large stock of cloth ing and furnishing goods, ulso, fancy dress and dry goods, und a full assort ment of general merchandise, which he will sell at very low rates, accord ing to present times. Give him a call before purchasing elsewhere and you will do well.
