Last week the 1)rmwat gave an ac count of the finding of six dollar in silver by Bill Clark and hi nard, recently on the Monteith place near this city. From Mr V S John we learn how the money got there. The place where it was found was once the camping ground of theCallpooias, In 1875 one of the tribe, Hunch back Mariah, whom our older citizens will remember, came to the city one day, got drunk, returned home and hid under the roots of a stump what money she had, which happened to be six dollars in silver. When she became sober a diligent hunt was made for it, but the fates willed that it should not be expended for whiskey until the year 1886. Hunch back Mariah is dead. A son lives at the SlleU, her lawful heir ; hut he would have to be the fastest kind of streaked lightning to have reached Albany before those silver halves were exchanged for that which makes giddy.

The nearest to a horseman on the Demo crat's staff stumbled Into Johnny DubrulU le's harness shop the first of the week, and really you can not stumble Into a finer stocked shop in the valley. Mr Dubruifle treated us so well we are going to give him away by telling what we saw. As nearly as we remember it was something like thirty patterns of splendidly made sin gle harnesses, which Mr. D. informed us we could have for from fio to $30 ; but 'o-got he was talking to a newapapcr man ; a large stock of double harness ; about twenty patterns of elegant side saddles ; fully forty patterns of Momie dusters, hand embroidered, in artistic designs, tAorth from $1.25 to $4 ; whips, etc. AH together the bsst stock of harness. ide saddles and dus ters by a large majority, that we have ever acen in Albany.

Last week we announced the stealing of a horse, by a young man of eighteen, fiom Mr George Warren, of Halsey precinct. After an interval of about two weeks on las Friday Mr. Warren succeeded in capturing his horse. He found it 'n this city in the possession of Mr. L. Senders. Mr. Senders purchased it of Mr. John Sloan, of Eugene, for $100, and Mr. Sloan of the young man for a ten or fifteen dollar watch. That of itself should have etcited suspit ion.and call ed for investigation, particularly as the ven dor was a boy ; but it seems as if the love of a good bargain is above that of seeing property protected. Of course Mr. Sloan hid to refund to Mr. Senders, who bought the horse in good faith. An effort is being made to capture the thief ; but there is little clue to his whereabouts.

Present All members and officers, The Committee on Licenses asked ami was granted further time on the Keady liquor law license. Committee was granted further time on assessment of mortgages of D B Monteith. Quarterly reports of Recorder and Treas urer were referred to Finance Committee. Petition for cleaning alley In Block 9 was referred to Committee on Streets nnd Public property, A remonstrance agnint the Keady liquor law license ordered was referred to the Committee on Ordinances. Following is the remonstrance, which at the requssl of several, we give our readers; To tkt Honorable Common Council of the City of Albany. tltMTLKMKR t The undersigned ni likens and legsl voters of said city most respectful ly allege that they are informed that a peti tlon is now peodiug before your honorable body praying for the enactment by yau of an ordinance embracing tbe provuion of what is known as the Keady Uqnor Ijsw. And the undersigned tanner allege and show, thst the psssag of anoh an ordinance at this tint will hays no other offsets than te lesieu the annual revenue of the city and to indirectly bring about what is known a prohibition, if it lias any eifeet st all. For if those who desire to engage in the sale of intoxicstiug liquors ssn est an actual ma jority of th legal voters within the city hunt to sign tbtir petition for a license to sell such liquors, then suoh an erdiosnce will have no effsct whatever. On the other hand if those who desire to tall liquors can not get a majority of legal voters in said oity to sign their petition (or iieense then in such an event snob an ordinance will be prohib itory in its operation, and not less than 12400 of th revenues of the oity will be ent off. Snob a result a last mentioned would at this time be a great injury to the material interest of the oity, in this 1 tn eity is now in debt in about the sum of $3000, which is overdo. The net ordinary annual ex pusses of th oity is about $00, and th maximum annual tax levy is only 6 mill. Such levy will oaly raise about WW) to meet the nsosssary expenses. From tb incon trovertible facta it is quite apparent thai if such an ordinance were passed and prohibi tion would be tb result a dbt of not lees than 3000 would annually arts against the city ami tb much needed improv ements thsroof would have to stop. For tbeaa rea son w think the passage of snob a law at this time yery unwise and we tbrfort re monstrate against the same, and ask you not to great said petition, or pas suoh so ordinance until oar charter eaa be o amend ed a to provide for the raising of tne naeea sary amount of revenue by taxation te meet tb wai.ts of th eity. li Brenner J H MoUen L Header M Sternberg J 11 Com ley A A Coealey 1 Anderson I gnats Fox Jas alady lisnry Mareens Peter Riley J 8 Uireax M Cowan P Cohen John Caber C A Corran Wm H Miller fieo W Meaoa Julius Joseph Thomas Hopkins.
