Last Saturday evening Dr. J. L. Hill,
while returning on a livery horse from a
visit to a patient in the country, met with
quite an accident near the Callpooia bridge.
On the approach to the west side the Doctor
met a couple of young men with a boat on
a wagon. Just after he passed them his
horse became frightened, when going off a
mail embankment it began "bucking,"
throwing the Doctor on his head on the hard
gfOUfid. Getting up daaed, the young men
offered to bring him to the city, the horse
having left turn ; but thinking he was not
hurt he said he could come alone. As a
result he did not reach home for two or
three hours, and then was insensible most
of the following day. Now he is nearly re
covered from the effects of the accident,
certainly a close call for a fatal result.

On February 23rd and 24th, at the Opera
House in this city the ladies of the U. .
Church will give entertainments which, it
may be predicted, will attract great atten
tion. On both evenings there will be ex
hibitions of the art and curiosity collections
of the city, which will be obtained for the
occasion. -This will give an opportunity for
our citizens to display their relics as well as
fine pictures, etc. A supper will also be
spread both nights. On the first night a
program will be given consisting, among
other things, of one of the famous broom
drills. On the last evening a program of
music, tableaux, etc., . will be presented. In
addition to the supper and art exhibition.
Every citizen in Albany should prepare to
attend.

It is very poor policy for a newspaper to
set itself up as s critic of other newspapers
generally, particularly when it is published
in a glass house itself. Its remarks are
bound to be back acting. Only a casual
observation of the ways of life will reveal
the fact that either a person or journal in
the habit of criticizing most is always the
most open to criticism. We are much
obliged to the Benton Loader, for its mild if
not kind remarks in reference to the Demo
crat in its critique column ; but the man
ner in which hustings its missiles at some
of Its contemporaries is decidedly 4th of
July lemonady.
We have just received St. Jacobs Oil
family Calendar,containing the twelve signs
of the zodiac in modern dress and more fun
than could be gotten from Mills Logic in a

comic volume ever put on the public and
all it costs is o at any drug store. Voegeler
& Co. know how to tickle the public and
advertise their wares ,( see first page of Dem
ocrat, jand as well appreciate the influence
and power of the press, every almanac sent
to an editor being gotten up with more elab
orate taste than those given to common
mortals, and have a genuine ribbon in the

The steatstratiea law.
The registration board of the state, under
the new law, will meet on Monday, April
5th, and hold for three days as a board, sit
ting in the several precincts in the county
from 9 a. m. till 5 p. m. Registrations have
to be made personally. In case of sickness
or absence, though, the time to register is
extended three or four weeks. Below we
give the principal features of the law, as
classified by an exchange :
To be a legal voter a person must be a
male over 21 years of agc,elther native born
orltave declared his intentions of becoming
a citlien of the United States, and resi
dent of the state for 6 months and of the
county 90 days preceding the day of elec
tion and of the precinct upon the date of
registration. Tickets must all be printed on
paper furnished by the secretary 01 Mate.
No distinguishing mark Is allowed to be
placed on the outside of a ticket, but any
design adopted to distinguish regular parti
san tickets is allowable on the inside.
The County Judge and Commissioners
constitute a board of rciriatratlon to which
all contested cases must be appealed, and
will meet on the first Monday following the
close of registration. They must sit thres
days but not more than ten days.
In case of special elections registration
must be made 30 days before Uie election.
Challenges may be made either against reg
istration or voting for any legal cause where
upon the person desiring to register or vote
may be sworn as touching their competence.
Any person registering fraudulently may
be fined in any sum not exceeding $iooo,or
m prisoned in the penitentiary one year or
both in the discretion of the court. Fraud
by a Clerk or Judge may be punished by a
fine of not less than $200 or more than
$1000, or imprisonment one year or both.

On last Tuesday night at about midnight
Mr. Anderson Deckard died at his home on
First Street, in this city after a lingering
illness of over a year, leaving the legacy of
a good name. I le was noted for his afftable
disposition. Mr. Deckard was born in
Kentucky in 181 4 and came to Oregon in
1853, settling on a claim about eight miles
from this city, where he resided until with
in a few years, since which Albany has
been his home. His first wife, Lydia Cor
um Deckard, died in 1869. By her he had
eight children, only two of whom, Stephen,
now residing at Victoria, B. C. and Mrs, J.
G. Evans, of Boyd, Eastern Oregon, arc
living. He was married in 1873 to Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Lincoln, who survives him.
Mr. Deckard was Justice of the Peace in
his precinct for two years, and once, we
understand, an unsuccessful candidate for
the State Legislature. He was a member
of the Cumberlain Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Deckard will long be remembered as
one of Linn county's most worthy pioneers.

is Isaaartaat Qweatlea Answered.
Last week a correspondent of the Demo
crat said : "We have heard several farm
ers say that it would be a good thing to have
a cleaner attached to the threshing machine,
so as to clean the wheat ready for' market
before It leaves the thresher. Now whose
machine will be the one to take the lead In
the matter." The above is a sound ldca,and
there can be only one answer here to the
last question. A cleaner with a thresher
saves every farmer five cents a bushel on
his wheat, a big item. The threshing com
panies of the county first to get cleaners in
the field will be the ones to reap the biggest
harvest just from this fact. The cleaner
of Daniel Best, of this city, there Is
no doubt, l the best on the Coast, In
fact It has no superior anywhere. It took
the premium at the State fair In California,
and there are four hundred In use In that
State to testify to Its popularity. It U tk
cleaner of that State. Mr. Best wants every
man interested in the matter to call on him.
The following letter just received from
Eastern Oregon wilt show what great satis
faction Mr. Best's Cleaner gave In Eastern
Oregon.
Wasco, Or., Jan. lath, 1886
Messrs. B$t f Alt Moms,
Dear Sire : Yours of the oth at hand.
We used your Cleaner 63 days this season.
Threshed'and cleaned 2,400 bushels In one
day. We have used the Stockton Cleaner
in California, but find yours far superior to
any we have used or seen used. It gave
general satisfaction to the farmers we
threshed for. 1 would not run a machine
without one, as I can da more work and do
it better with one attached to my separator.
We think they will be used up here as soon
as there are more engines and larger sepa
rator used. The majority of threshers
use horsepowers here yet ; wo have a
Bronson Pitts, 36 inch, and a 9x12
I n right engine. We threshed about ion,ouo
bushels of wheat, oats and barley, this sea
son we get 12 cents per hundred 'for thresh
ing. Very Truly Yours,
Smith Brothers.

flat Birthday rmrtf.
One of the greatest epochs in a young
man's life is his twenty-first birthday. On
that day it takes a ten foot pole to reach
him. The pat is a boyish myth, the future
a man's career. On last Monday the ranks
of the Democracy of Linn county were in
creased by at least one, William Humph
rey, telegraph operator of this city, reaching
his majority. In the evening of that day
with many young friends of both sexes the
event was celebrated in a becoming man
ner at ihe residence of George Hum hrey,
Esq., in the Third Ward.

ful religious revival never before known in
the history of that city. Carried on for
several weeks it has resulted in over one
hundred people joining the churches of
that city, the Methodist Church alone get

completely exhausted meetings in that
church have been discontinued. We un

Smith is the name of a tailor who
been working for W. R. Graham, in this
city. Last Saturday making up his mind
that he had had enough of life he went to
his rooms in one of the small buildings just
cast of Deyoe St Robson's," where he was
"baching," drove a nail in the wall, tied one
end of a rope to it, the other to his neck,
and then lay down to die ; but he did not
die. nor begin to die. The job was a most
decidedly poor one. It was not more than
a quarter done. The rope waa too long-
lie failed to put a 400 pound weight to his
feet. He should have jumped from a high
place, and, better still, should have manag
ed to have had less liquor inside. Liquor,
though a slow kind of suicide anyway, does
not work well with ropes and nails. Smith
will probably put together many more pairs
of pants ; but, if he really wants to suicide
why doesn't he throw himself from Mary's
Peak or swallow the mercury on a big
looking glass.
Wfes WUI Prist Tkca.
J. K. Gill & Co., of Portland have offer
ed to furnish the registry books for $1 a
piece. Wait, of Salem, bid on the work at
$2.2 and C W. Watts, of Albany, at fa.
As the original pi ice of W. B. A ver St Co.,
when they thought they had the pig by the
heels, was $3, the cheapness of J. K. Gill St
Co's., bid can be easily appreciated. The
bid of Mr. Watts was as cheap as any
local printer can do the . work. As other
Portland printers charge at least $2 it Is a
great query how J. K. Gill & Co., can do it
it for half the price. Still, there are mys
teries among job printers as well as among
Lawyers or Legislators.

gushes over the number of poems on the

Eastern papers, but here it is fiction. The

At this time one would be a great relief.

Thai Bicycle Law.

their bicycle law passed at the last session.
The following from the famous Norristown
Herald is a sample :
"The Oregon legislature has passed a law
to the effect that bicyclists must stop riding
whenever they approach within one hun
dred yards of a team, and after dismounting

law may be a good one, but it does not go
far enough. It should be amended so as to
compel the bicyclist to take off his hat and
remain uncovered while the driver of the
team is passing him."

BITIARY.
Died at his residence in this city, Jan. 19th,
1886. Mr. Anderson Deckard, aged 7J
years.
Mr. Deckard was born in Hawkins Co.,
Ky. While yet a mere boy, he lost his
father by death. Soon after, he and his
mother went to Tenn., and thcrree to Mo.
He came to Oregon in 1853, and has Hved
in the vicinity of Albany ever since, great
ly respected and beloved. From his youth,
Mr. Deckard was a firm believer in Christ
unity, and a devoted member of the Om
berlain Presbyterian Church. Through alj
his long and severe sickness, his faith in
God and assurance of heaven, seemed to
grow brighter and stronger to the very end.
Among his last thoughts and feelings .hat
found expression in words, were those of
God, friends and heaven. Thus, full of
years, and ripe for the upper and bitter
life, he has passed on before, not long hi nee
to wwtcome to the eternal home the dear
companion left, whose privilege it was to
bestow upon him such attentive and affec
tionate ministry, through all his sufferings.
