XFTriXCS, Loral Mr. Umn 'aua.it - Within a faw weeks we shall give in the columns of the Dkucvuat a full description of Linn oounty, g uographical, agricultural, etc We shall give full description of all towaa and cities in the county. JJ'e shall fill ten or a down columns exclusively ie Toted to Linn county. No better plan could be adopted to disseminate in the east and south a knowledge of Liau county, than to distribute copies of that issue of the Demo crat among the people of the localities men tioned. For the small sum of 10 cents a person can communicate more information to a friend by sending a copy of the DaacocRAT than by writing a dozen letters. There will be no estimating the value of such an issue of the Democrat. 5000 copies ought to be bought and distributed by the people of Lian county. But a t shall issue just enough to supply the orders which we receive before going to press on that issue. Remember for the small sum of $1.30 you can get 25 oopies and thus you oan supply your many friends with a very long interesting description of the entire county. Business atwa, farmers, speculators and every citizen could well af ford to spend from $1 to $10 in distributing so much useful information shout eur coun ty. Now send in your orders at once. Tell ns how many copies yon want Single copies in wrappers 10 cmts ; 15 copies, $1 ; 25 copies, $1.50. Order ss soon as yon read this. Essaj os Tramp. A tramp is a bundle of rags, a holy pair of shoes and a slouch hat, with some dirty flesh in thero. It has feel ing bat little sensibility Nothing agi tates it more than a square meal of victuals. It is hollow inside, and has the capacity of an ostrich. Its morals ara the same as other animals, and it will steal as quickly as a fox. At the present time there are numerous ones ef this species lurking about the city. Last week a gentleman in the western part of the city lost several chickens. Their feathers were found on the out skirts near where a bonfire had been, and several of these animals were seen in the vicinity. They do not hesitate to take whatever they can get their hands on, and are generally seen bang ing around bouses to see when ths owner leaves, when they will make an entrance if they can do so without exert lng themselves too much, and will make short bita and silver war scarce. They deserve being dealt wiih summa rily, and caaaot be watched too closely. Arrested for Seduction. Last Saturday, Win Pennebaker was arrest el at Salem by Sheriff Humphrey, charged with the seduction of a young lady at Scio, nnder a a promise to marry. A few months ago she became a mother, but before that time the young man disappeared, leaving the state. He was net heard from until hut week, when it was learned that he was near Salem, when a warrant was issued, and he was arrested, brought to this city and placed in the county jail. On a preliminary exam ination rt Scio he was held to await the action of the Graad Jury under $300 bail. The first of the week this bail was furnished and Mr Peanebaker was released. We un derstand arrangements were made for settl ing the matter by marriage, which went se far as the obtaining of the license ; bnt this was abandoned, and the law will haro to take its course, whatever that may be, A Happy Sew Tear- We wish all of our subscribers a happy New Year, and a prosperous business ; if farmers may their crop be big and the price of wheat at least a $1.0000 a bushel ; if merchants, may their sales be large and their payments quick, and whatever basiness they are la, may their success be great, provided they show the energy and integrity and the disposition necessary to obtain it Wo make these wishes not only for their sake but as well our own, for it means that our subscribers would pay up bet ter, and onr merchants would advertise mora. We would like to be able to chronicle many deserved enterprises in Albany and Lino county during 1884 ; thebuilding of a woolen mill, a new school house, a large sheep skin tan nery, etc. and some of these things can be accomplished if our citizens begin now and pash matters.

The engravings are beautiful aad extremely ap propriate to the holiday season, especially that of tho "Christmas Rose," "Under tho Mistletoe," and "Christmas on the Over land Route." The latter in particular is a fine artistic production, and appeals strongly to the pioneer recollections of our peeplr, as does also the Christmas atory. 740 Wett Shore has won its way into popular favur by its intrinsic merit, both as an art journal nad an exponent of the resources of the Pa cific Northwest, which latter feature renders it especially valuable to any one desiring to obtain reliable information.

Wednesday a meetingof the School Direc tors of Albany was held in this city, when the resignation ef P A Moses ss principal ef the pnblic schools of this cfty was read and accepted. The board adjourned till yester day afternoon at 4 o'clock, when a successor to Mr Mooes wss to be appointed. Two ap plications, at least, have been made, both of which are good ones. As wo wont to press before that time we can not say who is our next principal. Wo may depend that he is a good one. Before onr next issue school will have been convened again, and it is to be hoped that all of enr citizens will unite with the principal in making onr public schools a complete success, so that when those who are seeking homes here from ths east and south shall ask ns about them, we can say, "Yes, we have the best schools in the state, we are proud of our teacher, the progress he in making and the standing tho school is obtaining in the community." This is the first thing that is asked, and we should all labor with the principal to be able to give a good answer. Ths schools through the county are in excellent condition, and much is due to the energy of the connty Superintendent in organizing, visiting and I vising, and it is the general desire of many to see tho schools of this city stand at tho head or at least on par with the best in the county.

The skatiag by Manciet attracted considerable attention, nearly every one present knowing how to navigate en rollers. He is a genius at it.aad performs a vsrioty of fanoy and difficult tricks with great esse. The eutertainnrent was certainly a novel one, but certainly very interesting to at least those who attended, and deserved a good patronage. The young men are all in business in Fort land, and were through the valley as much for a holiday as anything, but on account of the terrible weather had net been meeting with extra success.
