To those already corresponding, or others, who will attend to the matter regularly, we will make it enough of an object so that it shall not cast them anything for paper, pstae and the Democrat. Certainly there should be those in these communities taking enough interest injtheir localities to write, if not every week, at least every other week, and in any event, when anything happens, even of small importance. What the Democbat . wants is the news, whether well worded or not. It should bo short and to the point, in paragraphs, and contain all the marriages, deaths, births, arrests, noticeable personals, parties, improvements, tires, etc., the good judgment of the correspondent will general ly settle this point. Now who will agree to help us out, as well as their community, in the above places. Let us know and how regularly the size of your community will justify you in writing. o Leg Broken. Last Monday afternoon Mr Ephraim Turner was rid'ng iu the woods near his place between this city and Corvallis. when, un fortunately, he met with an accident which caused the fracture of his right thigh bone. He was driving along, standing erect, when a jerk of the wagon threw him on one of the wheels so forcibly as to fracture the above mentioned bone, in an oblique manner. A boy who was with him st the time hastened for help, he was taken to his home, and Dr J P Wallace, of this city, sent for. The boa was set ins skilful manner, and Mr Turner is doing well for one of his advanced year. The accident will confine Mr Turner to his , e BS .

A story- A story is told on our streets of how, at the time when election returns were coming in fast, and it was uncertain who was ahead in the presidential contest, a certain man at a certain place dropped two glittering twen ties. According to the talc a certain yonng man present put his foot on one of them, whish another certain yonng man secretly took from under his f Kt, and afterwards divided with him. Of coarse the hunt re sulted in the discovery of only one 20. A boy standing near is said to haye noticed the affair, but kept it to himself until recently, when ths whole business leaked out. Arrests were threatened, but the matter was settled by another 20. This is according to the story as told, for the truth of which we publish ne vouchers.

Church, oa Sabbath evening last there were present about one hundred persons by actual count, allowing that ons hundred and fifty attended the Methodist church the same evening, an extravagant allowance, tws hundred and fifty persons mutt have atteuded church last Sabbath evening. At the last oity election about three hun dred aad seventy-five votes Were oast; count ing that each voter represented five person, there are about eighteen hundred and seventy- five persons in Albany. If only two hundred persons atteuded church, seventeen hunderd and twenty nine most have remained away, allowing sixty-five for the Jews who rarely at tend, three hundred foreigners, one hundred sick and three hundred too young to sttend withoat their parents, we have the sum of seven hundred aad sixty-five nnablo or un willing to attend. Adding seven hundred and sixty-five to the two hundred aad fifty, the number ef these who did attend we have the sum of on thousand and fifteen. If from eighteen hundred ai.d seventy-five the number of persons in the town, we subtract ten hundred and fifteen, we have the dif fere nee of eight hundred and sixty the num -ber ef persons able and capable to attend who did not attend . Which of the two con clusions weald one be justified in drawing from these facta, that divine service is not as attractive as it might be made or that Al bany is a very ungodly city as only about one out ef every nine attend church.

Nothing adds to ths life, growth and wealth of a city so much as manufacturing establishments which furnish employment to Urge numbers ef employes. It takes peo- mi'te etty. These people mast l.,vs - . I a a a. a liveitnoo'i or tney cannot remain in a city. They cannot all be merchants, doctors aud Lawyer. Laborers must have employment or they cansnt life in a city. Permanent manufacturing establishments give perma nent employment, and this establishes the permanent growth of a city. School houses, churches, railroads, are all helps in giving life and activity t a city. But, without ether things, they never make a city. We are led to these reflections f r m the move ment that is now on foot in the city to form a joint stock company for the purpose of manufacturing threshiuz machines. We are assured by one of the intelligent projectors of this scheme that these miehiaes can be manufactured hsre and sold at a good profit ia competition with thoso manufactured in the east asd shipped here. Messrs Best 4 Althouse.of this city, have invented a thresh ing machine which, when perfected, will be, it is confidently believed, the very best thresher in use. We understand these gen tlemen propose not only to Lecome members of this stock company, hat to turn ever their invention to the company end other induce ments besides. We hope to see our men of means take hel l of this .matter. There is evidently money to be mads in this enter prise. Nothing would prenute ths lagging inttrests of the city so much as thn inaugur atioa and completion of fch' enterprise. Drufh f V A. F'etrlirr. On Thursday afternoon, Jan. 15, 1885 Mr. William 8.

Respectfully, WHAT IS IT. Why do we seek with anxious mind, Fsr something which we ne'er oan find. Why strive with doubting, longing heart, To master poetry or art. We may find poetry in books, And art wherever we chanee to turn, Yet when we get what moat we need, W're seeking and hope soon to learn. - Tis this, a covering for the feet, Which easy is, well made and neat. We're sure at R. & B.'s will find Jttat what we want in size and kind. Albany, Oregon, Dfo. 30th, 1884.

The climate Is mild, and a lady In Corvallis wondered how people in Hew York and Pennsylvania managed to keep warm during tbe long, cold Winters. We asked several conductor! eoncernlng Immigration, and the in variable reply waa that as many par tite returned East as come here, and they seemed to regard tbe majority of per sobs moving here with their fami lies from such States as Pennsylvania and Illinois, as little short of fools ! he Stat e aare Company of Oregon 1.

It pays taxes here and assists in developrng and building up the various industries ef the Northwest. 3. It is the only company in Oregon, which is limited by its charter to the iusurance of farm property, private dwellings and their contents, school houses and churches. l A Consequently it cannot be burned out as it is not exposed to losses from w weeping tires. It insures no mercantile or busioes risks, but affords a safe and reliable insurance to farmers and owners of private dwelling 5. Tho fixes that destroy two cities, ruin ing over a hundred insurance companies, rendering worthless thousands of policies, demonstrate the necessity of farmers and others insuring in just such a conipaay.free from all kinds of business risks.
