Next morning erery body turned out on the hunt, bat a party f harvester were lucky enough to make the capture. hen going to work they happened to I two men loaded down with some kind of plunder crossing the Geld from one point of brush, to another, and as it looked suspicious they gare chase. The burglars made their way into a very thick grove and hid, and could not be found until a hoaod was pat eat their track. Both men were captured, and, with the other, were taken to Scio and pat on trial before Squire Kelley. They con f eased erery thing and were bound over, and p the same day were brought to this city y Deputy Sheriff Daly and turned over to the tender mercie of Sheriff Dickey. When arrested the most of the plunder was found with them, except a lot of jewelry, which had been hid unler an old house soar Scio, bat all was recovered.

This is very complimentary and show that the officers bave given general satisfaction.

According to Treasurer Mealey'a report ndered in July there should be about $700 in the city treasury, and consequently con siderable excitement was caused when it waa discovered that city order could not be paid. The facts of the case are simply these : the treasurer has used the public funds for pri vate purposes, and either his bondsmen or Lis friends will have to make the city good in the sum of $682.83. We very much de plore the necessity of having to chronicle such an event, bat we have it to do. The city authorities are now balancing np the treasurer's books, and they will make their report and a settlement will be made at the meeting of the City Council next Tuesday evening. From Over the ataage. A letter from L. Vanderpool, at Des- Cbutes bridge, in Wasco county, inform as that the health in that locality is generally very good at present. W. G.

The St. 1'harles Hotel. This hotel is now having a good run of custom, and it should have, for Mrs. Honk has thoroughly renovated it from top to bot tom and keeps it in such shape that no guest can complain. The table is furnished with everything the market affords, and no one need fear bnt that they will get plenty to eat and of the best quality when they go there. commercial men will had a sample room there for their accommodation.

Having just returned from the Cascade mountains, on a hunting and Sahing excur sion, we note a few observation) Passing through Lebanon we observed a very great advance in the line of improve ment over last year. New building have sprung up, new streets laid out, sidewalks extended and a general appearance of thrift and activity pervaded the handsom little city. It is no wonder that the "cedar of Lebanon" onoe aspired to the dignity of county seatthip of Linn! The village of Sweet Home, 18 mils above Lebanon, still "hold the fort," with oar eld Democratic friend.

(By-th-way, it 1 a shame that the mail roate ever the Cas cade Mountain doesn't go by thi route in tend of the MoKsasie. On the present mail root there iant a seal to oooasmodat far over fifty mile, while on the Saatiam road there are innumerable ranches and a perfect precession of traveler through all the sum mer month. From Sweet Horn to Camp Polk there are ranches and sottlemeata with in almost hailing distance of each other, yet there is no mail; while from Eugene to Camp Polk there is eoaroely a single inhabitant t We have been informed that th pas is much lower by thi Saatiam route, and that even the winter trip eaa be made with much greater ease than by the McKsniis rente, and if these thing are true we want te know of Postal Agent Steel (why he permits this useless Eugene route to take the plaoe of one which is far more feasible and eeavcnisnt and would accommodate n Urge claas of citi ana, not only in the Willamette Valley bat in Ochooo Valley and ether Eastern Oregon region?)

Coumell rioinKin'laasi Our City Council met last Wednesday evening with all members present except Al derman Scott. Bice, from thef Committee en Firs and Water, reported that a proposition bad been received from Wm. Miller offering te act as nightwatch and engineer for the steamer for $75 per month, and that $15 of that amount would be paid from No. 2s quarterly allow- est On motion the proposition waa ac cepted, and it waa ordered that Mr. Miller assume hi dutue at th expiration of Mr. Hellron s present month. Bice moved that Mr. Heffran' services ss nightwatch be dispensed with after the 14th inst., his month expiring at that time. Laid on the table until next meeting. ' Petitions were received asking for side walks as follows: On th east side of Baker street, from First to Eighth; on th south aide of Sixth, from Lyon to Hill; on the west side of Washington, from Ninth to Tenth. The two former were referred to the Com mittee on Streets, and ths latter waa ordered built inside of 15 days. Cross-walks were then specially ordered to be built or repaired at the following place : North sids of First street, at its crossing with Montgomery; North side of First at creasing of Jefferson; south side of Sth at crossing of Washington; south side of Sth at crossing of Lyon; south sids of 7th at cross of Ferry. Besides those just mentioned ths Marshal was instructed to hav all those that neededjitfrepaired. Fifteen days were given for the work. It being ascertained that the City Treas urer could not account for all the money turned over to him, the Committee on Ac counts wss instructed to inspect his books and report at ths next regular meeting. Capt. Humphrey s bill of $5.00 was allow ed. Some gentlemen wishing to open oat a hooting gallery, on motion of Martin the li cense waa put at $20 per quarter. Fire at (he steps. One day last week Mr. Barker discovered smeke issuing from beneath the engine house at the depot, and upon going over and in vestigating the matter he found that the floor waa on fire. He worked very industri ously for a while and soon had the fire ex- j tinguished. It had caught from the furnace underneath the floor, and had it net been discovered until a few moments . later no doubt the building would have been burned. The young man who run the engine has been discharged. Dentistry. Dr. E. O. Smith, of Portland, formerly of this city, will make a tour through - this county and will do all the dental work that his friends and the public generally may re quire. He will be at Lebanon on or about the 15th of this month, and) will remain a week or so. He will then go to Brownsville and Halsey, remaining about a week at each place.

Our Board of School Directors have underta ken to grade our publio schools in this city and if ths people now give them an earnest sup port their efforts will be crowned with suc cess. The schools hav been divided into eight grades, and when pupil graduate they will hav an education equal to that which ia obtained at most college. W hav. three school house and in ths two at ths extreme ends of ths city ars taught ths tws lowest grade th 7th and Sth, while th higher ar taught at th Central School MVSXTH AND XtUKTti OSaDRS. In these grados are put all the pupil not so far advanced as ths Third Reader, and no books are used except the First and Second read era. Oral Arithmetic and Geography, Spelling and Composition are also taught A the two grade ar taught only in th East and West Ward Schools, ths city had to be divided into two sections, and th di viding lin is Ellsworth street; all of the children living sbovs that street hav to at tend the West Ward School, taught by Mrs. Gaston, and those living below will sttend ths Eastward School, taught by Miss Kovia Alexander. rtrru akd sixth obadw. These grades are taught in the Central School, by Miss Martha Wheeler. The pu pil hers goes through th Third Reader, and about half through th Fourth, and also stud ies Mental Arithmetic, Rudiment ef Arith metic, Sd and 3d Geographies, Oral Gram mar, Spelling, Penmanship (using books 1, 2 and 3), and Composition. THUD AND FOURTH OUADK. These grades ar taught by Mrs. E. F. Sox, at the Central School. In them the Fourth Reader is finished up and the Fifth completed, andjths pupil alsotitndies No, 4 Geography, Penmanship (books, $ and 6), Grammar, Practical Arithmetic, Spelling, Mental Arithmetic and Composition. OEAMMAR DaTARTHEST This comprises th first and ascood grades. and is taught by th Principal, Prof, E, F. Sox. Th studies here are ths Sixth Reader, Higher Arithmetic, Grammar, Physical Ge ography, Philosophy, Mental Arithmetic, Algebra, Hart's Composition, U. 8. History and Penmanship. The Principal spends two or three hears each day ia visiting the other departments, and during that time his room is presided over by Mrs. F. Eggert. At theend of every term each teacher holds an examination and if any pupil shows uffi. eieot advancement they will be transferred to the next higher department at the com- mcementof the next term. This incites the pupil to greater exertion and advance, meat is a great deal mors rapid than by ths old system. This grading of ths schools ws think is a ! long step ia the right direction, and will be of great benefit to our city. Parents should lend all the aid possible to maks it a success. They should visit ths schools and see the working of the new system, and thus ascer tain haw much better it is than the old, and then determine to back our School Board up in its actions. And further, they should de termine never to rest until they have built a urge brick school house in this city, one th at will be a credit to our community. Among the Salami tee who last Sunday Vxcurahed" to ear city we noticed Poet- master L. S. Scott, Hon, T. J. Stites, Com modore Bloat, Chaa. Wicks, Manny Myers, and Capt. Ira Krb. We understand that Mr. W. 8. Moss, of ths Salem Mercury, was among our visitors of last Sunday, but wo didn't have the plea en re of gazing on his 7 -benign coanten- Among the representatives of the press on th excursion last Sunday ws met Mr. Fitlii- aaof the Clackamas Democrat, Mr. Chaa. MoGowa of the Portland ,Meara. GriSo, Kelly, Cashing and Raleigh of the Stamiard, Messrs. Palmer and of the Portland Ttlfffram, and G. W. Qoivey of the Inde pendence Bir Suit. We last week had a pleasant call from Mr. Rollia Walls, a talented deaf mute, who is traveling agent for some of the finest sort of patent medicines. Messrs. Deady, Corwin and Rhodes start ed last Monday for a prospecting tour ia the Cascade mountains. Charley Wicks, of the Salem Chemeketa, was among our Sunday visitors. Wesley Grsvss, of ths Commercial Hotel, of Salem, came up with the excursionists Last Sunday. Hon, Enoch Hoult, of Harrisburfl, called during ths week, and although his farm was struck with ths rust, he doesn't look very rusty. He informs us that in ths region about Harris burg, although harvest is pro gressing, ths crop will not reach more than fifty per cent of its usual yield. server ef Alsea Star. W. M. McWillis,of AlseaJwas in the city daring ths first part of ths week, and ha in forms as that Lieut, Habersham finished up the survey of Alsea Bay and bar last Satur day, and on Sabbath went down to New port. He will remain there a few days un til a tug arrives, which will take him and his party down to Umpqua, Mr. McWillis says that Habersham's survey shows that the entrance to Alsea Bay is one of the very best on ths Coast This will be good news to the people !n that locality, and will have the effect of opening up their country. The steamer Alex. Duncan will very probably call there hereafter, thus giving them an op portunity of getting their products into mar ket That will be very good, but it is not enough; the people there should never rest until they connect Alsea valley with the Bay by constructing a good road between the two point. There is money already sub scribed for ths work, and there is not a man ever there that cannot afford to subscribe a month s work on that road. A Utile: Workman Wanted.

Editor Democrat : Being a oonstant reader of your pspsr, and having seen no communication from this place, I taks ths liberty to send this, trust ing to your known good nature for its escape from ths waste basket rather than to any merit Jn the article. Should you see lit to publish it, it will answer numerous letters from friends in ths Webfoet nation, which I have not time to answer separately t This country is rolling, with littls timber exoept in the mountains and on ths numer ous creeks running through it This plaoe has a woolen factory, 4 church as, 4 large dry goods stores, 2 grocery stores, 4 drag tores, several cigar and notion stores, 5 hotels, numerous restaurants and boarding houses, two blacksmith and 3 tinahops, 2 butcher shops, 3 livery stables, 2 planing mills, I grist mill, 2 bakeries and too many whisky mills as svery place has. Two newspapers ar published here. Of oourse every one want to know if this is a healthy country, and what th ohanoes are to get rich. As to the first, I can rooonv mend Dayton as being a healthy plaoe to lo cate, both from observation and axpsrienoe, as also ths surrounding oountry. Having cams hers in a very feeble state of health (ths doctors having told mo they could de no more for me) I am now blessed with sound sleep and an appetite that would maks an invalid star. Walla Walla however ha th reputation of being a good place to mova away from, owing, it is said, te too much ir rigation. Many in poor health get as far as that plaos and feeling no better, but rather the reverse, go back discouraged. When we get a railroad here, which ws shall no doubt do within a year, strangers with capital will flock here, where we have tli advantages of water power and the best country in the world surrounding as for grain, fruits, and in fact everything that grows oat of the tropic. No rust on the wheat here. Many are buying property ia anticipation of ths railroad, and tboss desir ing homes should secure them as soon ae possible, as property must rise. Our Oregon friend will not fail to as th familiar face of many old Oregooians, who are here to stay, and already hav pleaaanl hemes and ars surrounded with all ths oom forts. . We, like all th world, have expeneaoed a "heated term" of short duration, about one week bring decidedly warm, bat, judging from present indications, the worst is over for this year. Yet perfect as toe weather is here many are ia the mountains enjoying the wild freedom of camp life, which means making bacon of themselves, cooking what they would not eat at home over a smoky fire. And the world will never know, per- baes, just how many of them found eat how sadly sweet it waa to rise up suddenly from a bed of brush with a hornets nest therein. Bat we must and will "recreate" if we wear ourselves and everybody sis out at it la telling of the advantages I forget to mention one slight drawback to our country I don't mean ths "pttUbscks" of ths la dies' dress ea, though w have them, too. But we are so old-fashioned sad behind the times that w bars none of th "modern im provements" in the way of suns treks, tor nadoes, hailstorms, and not evsa a caa of yellow fever.

Last Monday evening Foshay i Mason re ceived soma two or three thousand volumes of the new school books recently adopted by our Btete authorities, and since that time it has kept one man busy almost all the time to pass them over the counter to customers. Parties in the country will note ths fact that all the sew books will in the future be kept in stock at this establishment, and they should also remember that after the first six months they can't get them at the prices charged now. A New aardwar Merchant. Not exactly a new one, either, for h has been in the business before. We speak of D. O. Clark, who recently bought out the hardware store belonging to J. B. Wyatt, and is continuing ths business at the old stand. He publishes his business card in ths Democrat to-day, and when our readers want anything in ths hardware line we hope they won't forget that he ia in that business. He is a whole-souled gentleman, as honest as the day is long, and it is a pleasure to deal with him. i The Co unlock Hoase. j Carpenters commenced rebuilding the Corns tock House this week and will push the work along to completion very fast.

Th Great Art Publishing House of George SunsoB X Co., of Portland, Maine, moves steadily on ths even tenor of its wsy, apper sntly aot feeling the dull time. During the year 1878 they sold over four million pio- tsres of all descriptions. They publish very description of fins pictures, and ths prioes range from ten cents to twenty dol lars per copy. Their oorrespondenoe for thi large business is Immense; they receive, on aa average, over oo thonsand letters per day. Messrs. Stinsoa k Co. publish only ths better class of pictures, and it ia well known that anything coming from this relia ble bouse is of standard merit We bave just received copies of four very fine steel engravings, which they have just brought out The plates were engraved ia London, at aa expense of four thoussnd pounds ster ling, or twenty thousand dollars, to which great sum must be added the customs duty of twenty-Mr per cent oa account of their being imported into the United States. These engraving ar after paintings by great modern masters of art and tbs artists who engraved the plates stand Ja the front rank of th world's renowned engravrrs. It ia believed, aad generally conceded, that the engraving maks up ths finest aad most elegant set of works of fins art ever brought out by American publishers.
