Official County Paper.
A Maanlarent rrcsent.
Rccontlv. Mr. William Ralston, of this
citv, received from her brother and aUtcr
in-law, Juilge and Mr. O. N. Denny, now
of Corca, ami Capt. Swain, of Yokohama,
Japan, one of the most elegant presents it is
ever ones fortune to noose. It consisted
of nothing lew than a complete ct of Chi
nese dishes, made up of one hundred and
sixty-five pieces, gotten up with the mar
vellous Ingenuity and artistic skill of the
most erudite Celestial. Every piece is an
ornament, and the whole set is a refined
curiosity shop worth a good admission to
see. Thanks to Mr. Ralston's kindness a
Democrat man had the pleasure last Tues
day of taking a thorough peep at them.
This beautiful set is worthy of more than a
passing notice. Every piece being hand
painted and entirely different from every
other piece, with their pictures of native
birds, plants and animals, the whole is a
book in natural history of remarkable value,
a well as being a first-class art gallery.
Large meat and turkey platters, in boat and
other designs, salad dishes, bowls, tea servi
ce, coffee cups with curious covers that
serve as saucers, fruit and cake dishes, etc.,
single and in sets of twelve and upwards.all
original in their unique designs and paint
ings, present topics for a days study and ob
servation, every examination bringing up
something new. Ixmking at them one won
ders if they can be used. By all mean.
That was just what Mrs. Ralston was en
joined to do. On examination you will find
that they are solid, genuine china, such as
you have never seen before here. Happy
should be the owner of such a collection of
dishes. In keeping with them, Mr Ral
ston's rooms are made elegant in, their dis
play of Chinese works of art, from curious
birds to embroidered panels, and a pair of
Celestial tyees In their gorgeous silk and
satin attirements, true pictures of the native
style. At a time when the unique and
curious in art are fashionable,lt is a great
privilege to witness the splendid collection
of Mr Ralston.

Wmr Etc Years.
On last Monday the total vote cast in the
city election was 413, just 52 more than the

self. Below we give the vote at the city
elections in Albany during eight years.

and draw their own conclusions ; in 1878,
440 votes were cast, in 1879, 407 ; in i88ot
463 , in 1881, 401 ; in 1882, 365 ; in 1883,
342 ; in 1884, 361 ; in 1885, 413.
Trie for Herse Steal! eg.
James Wilson, of Brownsville, was tried
for horse stealing at Pendleton, on Tuesday
of last week und found "not guilty " there
not being sufficient evidence to convict him
But that is a country where people take
thing into their own hands. The B. O. says :
"He received information that a train left
town at 9140 o'clock Tuesday night and if
a wise man he would leave thereon. He
left without any protestation or malice
aforethought"
A Ves Hsu
Last Saturday some hounds started a
wolf on Soap Creek and ran it about eight
miles north to Little Luckimute where it,
in attempting to go through a large crack
in a fence, wa caught by the tail by Col
umbus Yates and pulled bvek. He grasp
ed it by the back of the neck with the hand
and carried it to a neighboring house where
it was put in a box and kept till next day
when a general chase was had by putting a
doaen hounds after it.
Wilt Open Their Byes.
Last Friday Mr. John Hoffman sent to
Wisconsin a box containing some roses as
well some ripe blackberries. When the cold
blooded Wisconsinians look out on the snow
after gazing at these things, their eyes will
open in astonishment at the winter products
of this fertile country.

The amusementdoving public have cer
tainly no cause to complain for want of
theatrical events for the holiday week.
One of the most important theatrical events
however at the Opera House, will be the
occasion of the first appearance of the Lewi
Morrison Company on next Monday even
ing, December 14th. The Company are at
present playing one of the most successful
engagements that has ever been played in
Portland, where the entire pre of that
city, as well as New York, San Francisco
and other metropolitan cities unanimously
concede both the company and plav one of
the best ever seen in their respective cities.
Almost everybody familiar in the least with
theatrical events have either heard, read or
seen the play of May Blossom." It has
been presented over 500 consecutive times
and claimed to be much superior to the
famous "Hazel Kirkc" which is presented
by the same company. "May Blossom" Is
a beautiful heart play, and It Is a comfort to
think that the stage will not be held by the
wretched immortality that is becoming too
common now a days in the plays we see.
There is in "May Blossom" an air of little
children, birds and flower and clean coun
try life all through, which is very pleasing.
It is an entirely American plav and its ac -tion
happens during the late Civial war. It
serves as a lesson to every father, mother,
daughter and son. It will be produced by
the identical same company as produced
the plav in Portland and other cities with

The Board of the State Tax Commission-

only 3 7-10 mills. Last year it was 5 6-10
