September Is . Mr J U Crawfbrd has
operated a gallery at Harrtsburg for sev
eral years, where he has obtained an ex
cellent reputation aa an artist. Saturday
Mr Paxton showed us a couple high wa
ter pictures whinh were taken by htm in
1801, ftpeaktng very forcibly of the length
of time he has been in Albany, and how
thoroughly Identitfed he has become with
the growth of the city. According te the
picture all the buildiugs were then wood
en ones, the stores only extending from
Ferry to Broadalbin Street. On the north
between Broadalbln and Ellsworth were
teo or three small residences, while the
other side of the street was vscaa;. Op
posite the present Foster Block, occupied
by a hotel and several stores, on and near
the side walk, were f ur or five men,
among others being Mr V R Cannon, in
s stove pipe hat sod wearing, if we are
not mistaken, the identical ope overcoat
which he wears at the present time In
wintry weather. Beside him wss Mr
Mack, and near by a Mr. Davis The
street was full of wster frm the Willam
ette, reaching to tho present French cor
ner. To ( eld settlers particularly this
would he a very interesting photograph.
To new corner it exhibits wbt Albsny

sole photographer here, with slight ex
ceptions, for twenty-five veers, until now
he ban customers from all parts of the
valley. He has no superiors as a photo
grapher in Oregon. It will be with re
grets that we see him leave Albsny.

Ust Friday Mr C S Smith, of Peoria.
brought to the Democrat office a box of
plums, which, for si.-, as well as
quality, it is impos-ible to surpass.
There was one layer in the box, 8.U13
aches iu dimension, and only twenty-
qne. closely packed, in number. They
averaged about 7x8 inches in circum
ference, being a large as giant hens
eggs. The variety is the Ponds seed
ling, a kind introduced by the Tangent
rsursertes. We are anxious Tor some
reader of the Democrat to bring us a
box of the size mentioned containing a
le-s number of jlosely packed plums
than in the box brought us by cur genial
friend, mentioned above.

On last Thursday evening, Mr Ueorge

there were any hotels, Oeorgn thought
nothing more about the stranger until
morning when he srose, but oould not
find his pants where ha had left them the
night bclore, He weut Into the parlor
and found them on the tloor. Tho pock

pieces and a plug of tobacco had been
taken, but the thief left two pen knives
and a match box which were iu the pock,

took out hi purse mtaining U0 and put
it under his head, which luckily saved It,
The thef after rifiing the pants pocket,

who proposed to do so whatever the uonas-

A very curious and remarkably lonely
case occurred iu this city recently. A
tramp, or apparently one, aboqt three
weeks ago tqld a gentleman lu a First
street store, that he was hungry, had not
had anything to eat for tho conventional
length of time, and askod if be would get
him his supper. This the gentleman did,
paying two bits for the same. Last week
tho gentleman was approached by tbe
same man, who banded him a (our bit
piece, said that v,as yhat he owed him.,
and then rushed off before the gentleman
bad time to make change, The mau'u
tanned face told how he had been doing
something with his muscies in the harvest
field. Probably a like case will never
again bo reportod in the annals of Linn

I arm lime Burglarised -
On Thursdsy morning of last week, Mrs
Henry Freekson and son, living about
three miles south of Albany on tho Tan
gent road, came to Albany to tbe circus,
Mr Freekon was away with his thresh
ing orew at the tltno. On going home In
the evening Mrs, Freekson found on en -tering
the liouso, that there had been un
welcome visitors present during her ab
sence, Beds were torn open, trunks were
rid of their contents and things quite
generally presented a chaotic appearance.
It was asoertalnod then and after the re -turn
of Mr Freoksoit Sunday that a suit of
clothe-i belonging In purls, to Mr. Freek
son and a hired man, a hat and pair of
suspenders belonging to Mr. Frekson's
son, two revolvers, seven and fjVo barrel-,
ed, one pocket looking glass, two oom.bg,
one but tin of (saiagQi, three silk and threo
white handkerohlofa, one ran or, two pies,
a large dish of cake, a pan of milk and
several oilier things had been taken,
Quito a sum of money belonging to Mr.
Freekson and some of his help, which was
concealed, was not disoivored. As Mr,
Freekson was rupnlng a threshing orew It
amounted to oonsiderablo. How many
burglars thero were couid not be told for
certain, but the amount of pie and cake
eaten and milk drank, indicated that it
must have been several. As all of the
doors were found locked and the windows
fastened down, just as they were left on
Thursday morning, it is plain that the
bouse was entered by tbe aid of a key,
Thore is little clue as to who the parties
were. Thoy may have been tramns. and
thoy may have been persons who knew
about there being money in the house.
Some things indloate tbe latter. Mr,
Freekson Is anxious to recover heme of
the proporty, the razor particularly, It be
ing a present from his father and highly
valued. He will give a liberal reward for
a clue to the burglars. He is not particu
lar about the pie aud cake, They were

Tuesday and could be spared,
