AX OFFER! ftWr.ttrH U ftre Tm Bead ThU. r Recoguuirig tho fact that all oar people are now affected by the hard times, and knowing that when they pay out money for newspaper they of course want to get as much reading matter as possible, we make the following announcement and offer : To all subscribers who will settle what they owe and pay as one year in advance for the Pre ocx at, or to any m subscriber who pay in advance, we will send the following Ire ot charge: The Chieayo Weekly Anew for lis months, or the Farmer' Renew for one year. TUB CHICAGO XEW is an independent paper about the size of the Drmockat, but it is printed in smaller type. and doesn't have over two columns of adver tisements. Each number is crammed full with the latest new of the world, miscella neous articles, and as it always has from three to five stories in it a home circle can not find anything elee which would be more welcome4V . For $125 in advance we will send it and the Democrat to any address for a full year. THE FAKXEKV BKVIBW is 16-pae monthly agricultural paper, and is as full of departments as the government at Washington, and tbey all bear evidence of unusual skill and industry in their manage ment - Beside it agricultural article it gives a graft deal of miscellaneous reading and some splendid stories. It and the Democrat will be eut one year for only $3. Remember that vi cannot make these of fer to any one but new subscribers who jay in advance, or to old subscribers who s-jnare np and pay one year in advance. It isn't t"sT lay that such an opportunity i offered to get two papers for the price of one, and yon would do well to improve it. msiw This tm Year Xris'sber.'Vl The Temperance Alliance.

The narrow gaug surveying party arrived at Lebanon last Saturday evening, and Thielsen and one of hi men, not relisliiug the idea of staying out there until Monday, began hunt ing around for some way to get to Albany, At last they ran across J. L. Cowau, ourgon ial Coanty Clerk, and Ike Conn, the jolly aaw-mill man, and they hapjiening to be ef the same miad as Thoilseu, arrangements were soon made to eome down here the next morning. Conn had a lot of lumber up there, and they soon constructed a raft of it, five feet broad by thirty ia length, and live of thein boarding it lUrted down the canal for this eity. Wherever a fence crossed the caual the farmers had thrown a loug pole across, only about two or taree feet above the water, and ear voyagers varied the mo notony of their course by jumping over them or stooping down and passing under. When they had eoms down quite a distant they came to on of the pole which ..looked strong and stoat, and Thielsen having passed under Coon coming next thought he would lay hi hand on it and jump over. He did so, but the pole, or rather a small log, broke almost in two and sagged down in U mid die, throwing him list on his bauk ou tho raft, bat on the lower aide of the pole. The other three men were not fortunate; they had stooped down to pass under, aud the enrreat being very swift, before they could get p, the pel had raked the last one of them off into the water. Conn tell us that rack floundering around ia water ha not been seen ainee the days of the deluge. At last they made the bank and footed it down to where Conn and Thielsen had stopped the raft, and then embarked again. The re mainder of the veyage was made without any ntuaap, bat being wet to the skin we' sup- pose at least three of tho party did not enjoy it very well. Lebanon Laval. Scarlet fever still rases in this locality. A httle daagbter of J. L. tiilmonr' died of that disease last Saturday. William 11. Reed's eldest soa was attacked with it on the same day and died last Tuesday night, and three of V. Preston's children are dowa with that disease bow. J. A.

Mr. Follia, a "Topsey, " carried off tbe priae as the best sustained female character, and Billy Bond represeoted Dr. Brookshire so well that he was given the other prize. Sapper was served at Steatch & Rilca's, a nd it was first-class. Our little town is to have two more sa loons, add the question now is, who is going to driuk the poison? S. IL Claughton, who ha been Lebanon' postmaster for 14 years, has resigned, and is son-in-law, Sam Paul, is the new incum bent Our principal street is to have a new side walk from one end to the other. It will add largely to the look of the place. We have a woman out here who is eoual to a daily paper for new and to bear her tell it (he is worth twice a much. The University, which had suspended op eration for several week on account of the scarlet fever, opened again oa Monday of last week. Atleaspted Barglarj'. Last Thursday night, between the hours of twelve and one, a bold attempt was made to enter the store of A. B. Mcllwain, on First street between Broadalbin and Ells worth streets, which, fortunately, was frus trated. The deor of a shed in the rear of the store was forced and by that means ac cess was gained to the rear door of the store, the lock of which was picked, bat being held by a bolt, the bnrglars were unable to obtain entranee. While they were attempt ing to remove the obstacle, tbe noise'' awoke tbe son of Mr. Mcllwain, who was sleeping in the store, who attempted to shoot at them with a revolver, but the cap missed fire and the burglar fled poet haste. The coot taut recurrence of these bold outrage would in dicate the presence in our midst of a crimi nal element that needs more than the strong hand of th law to repress them, and we mistake the nature of our citizens if an ex ample is not made of some ef them before long if this state of things continue. Laales AJa aeetetr festival. We have ia our city an organization which from a philanthropic point of view, deserves more encouragement than any other. We allude to the Albany Ladies' Aid Society. This organization is wholly of a charitable and self sacrificing nature. The members comprising it are only endeavoring to per form the duties ef tbe "Good Samaritan." without money and. without ' prW? They work, sew, visit tbe sick, and often neglect their own household duties to attend the home of the afflicted and distressed. There is no duty more noble, no act more desenr ing of cemmendation. , To-night they give a fair and festival at the Opera Honse. Will tbe citizens of our community encourage as well as aid them in their laudable purpose by attending this festival? - The cost will be trifling and we are sore the member of the Society will present sufficient entertainment for every one. Don't fail to go. Rail read Meeting. The meeting of citizens was held pursuant to announcement at the Court Ifouse 1 ast Friday night, L. C.

CIHIKINM CM II?: If you want to lie fashlonablo, you ttltlst forthwith leant to cook, In other words, you, mutt joiu a cooking club. Such notable society consists of from four to six young la dies, usually, but not always, unmarried. They meet at each other houto every week or fortnight, wher th young lady host is expeated to have in readiness a supper pre pared by herself. Sometimes the supper tnsy bo cold, again it is warm, and as may b imagined a domi-toilette is considered quits dressy enough. Now comes in a chance too, for th wearing of enchantingly pretty little) aprous, and 'tis an opportunity which is not neglected. The bill of far is arranged ia thi wisei ' Each member write out on on a menu card, and deposit the sams in a box, from whence it ia afterward drawn at ran dom, and th aupper prepared according to the card drawn. Evory lady has, further more, the privilege of inviting a gentleman, and altogether these little affair ar a in. tiresting and oa profitalde a may be imag ined. WALKINIl CM!. Again, w find it qait a fashionable to walk as to cook. The club being formed of both ladies and gentlemen, on certain day they meet at aa appointed rendezvous and sot out en a tour of so many miles. Morn ing is the usual time for these walking mutches, and a stout liinchoou, ordered in advance, is prepared at aomo cuuutry hotel or farm house. Those who are nuable to re turn by font, have carriage in waiting. Perhaps the comfortable and decidedly strong minded looking ulster of gray or brown which are now so fashionable have bed something to do with th prevent fancy for waumg; (wrhsp tis th fancy for walk ing which bring alxmt the demand for ul sters. At any rat they sro greatly patron ized, and as a practical garment J can hardly aay too much iu praise of them. They seam just th thing in which to do battle with the tlusb and snow, and beside- this thoy are economical, for ono can wear a dress whose best day hav departed, and wbn is to know anything about it, for th ulster cover it all up. Ho do the circular wraps of thick woolen cloth, but theu a wrap deprive oue of the ne of one's arms aud is a bulky garment for all sleinlnr figure. Still a wrap i so easily thrown off or on, tha, it must therefore be regarded as very convenient. Writing of atroet costume remind me of a tasteful outfit recently worn by Mia W of Madisoa Avenue. The design wa the Carita prineetso dress with Atbine jacket. made up in dark green plaid trimmed with black velvet. Her younger sister, a pretty school sirl.still ia short dresse. wore a dress ef figured wool combined with brown velvet made with A fin overskirt and Parbara jack et.

Tbe skirt of tourse wa short with plaited flounce ef garnet satin, and with this wa worn the l.urindo pulouaise made ia oumbi-1 nation style of garnet satin and brocade.

Oue may walk a lung distance on Proad- wayor Fifth Avenue, or suay survey an en tire aaaembhur at a theatre of concert, and not one flower upon bonnet or hat. Vet a largo rose, or a ban;h of roses or violet at tha throat give au exceedingly woman like finish, not only to an indoor toilette, but to the masculine ulsters jat mcntioucd. Tho adoptinn of tulle string, brought under the chin and tied ia tbo most becoming of bow is another way ia which wa show that inclination for delicacy of finish, which crews spontaneously in thefotnale heart. There is a rage for thorn, and they are attached to bonnets of all kinds even dark colored felt or velvets. Veil of white tulle are also qcite fashionable, and sometimes the two ideas are united by bringing the veil over tbe face, crossing it at the back and tying tho ends iu a bow under the chin. Bretoa lace of fine quality is also used on bonnets, giving a softened finish to the severity of a winter costume. BVntAVAUAM'IKK. In a mention of some extravagancies, I said nothing of ribbon at $30 per yard. Yet such an articl i thown by a leading bouse. Furthermore I have been shown a pair ef garter marked $100, and am told that a pair haa been mail to order aad sold for $1,500. Wheace such costliness? it may bo asked. Solely in the gold-wrought or jeweled clasp, for th remainder ia but plain elastic, albeit of the finest quality. But as any ono may see, if jewel are once brought in, there is re ally no limit to tbe possible cost.
