Ever day, a I mot t, tome one suggest to the Man About Town the name of some one who need stirring up, as if we were a prod specially for that purpose. To a cer tain extent it is our duty to keep the public posted in matters of a public nature ; but private vices we hardly feel called upon to meddle with, except in extreme cases. Whether we should pinch the man Ailing a public position who is rarely at his place of business is a serious question. Guess not though. O The ten year old boy sawing some of the Democrat's winter wood was an example to the army of klle men around the city. The industrious lor makes an industrious man ; but ten year old boys should be in school rather than sawing wood. Necessity, though, often drives the fox Into the farmers barn yard. O Great Crocker ! when will this last spike ceremony take place anyway. Better let one of the detested Mongolians drive the 3 4ke at the awful hour of midnight, I alone, than have so much agony about It Yet It k a big event, one of great mo ment to Oregon, and should not he trifled with. O For qua'lty of milk It is doubtful if any thing equals that of the Jersey cow. You get the pure article there. The M. A. T. used to set a straight glass full of Jersey milk at night and in the morning the top fourth would be solid cream. What other cow's milk can produce 35 per cent cream a night. One of the prettiest cows of .nis breed in Albany is owned by Mr. Bruce McKnight. About fourteen pounds of but ter a week is the record, and such butter ; twenty dollar pieces in color. Unce on a time a Jersey cow had a record of 46 pounds a week ; but she was the queen of cows. O Jos. Webber, Chief Engineer eleet of the Albany Fire Department, was Secretary of the San Francisoo Htm Department as early aa 1852. and kaa been a member of torn ins department aantiaaousiy sine.

On account of a very unnecessary scare in reference to diphtheria In tlds dty, the "Dally fitraid on Saturday stating that It was reported to them that ten or fifteen case existed in the city," a report that had a dampening effect on trade, keeping peo ple away from the city, and causing un easiness among parents of children, th directors of the Albany school appointed a committee of physicians to Investigate the matter. The result was that the disease wa found to have been confined to a nar row limit, and the directors decided to keep open the public school. 1 1 ere 1 the report, which fully explain the extent of the dis ease : Albany.

He reported that all the men had quit work on both divisions, Mr. Hunt hod paid his men In full. It is reported that the O. P. R. R. Co. Is considerably behind with him. Notwithstanding many draw backs the amount of progress has been great the past season and promises to be greater next year. Nearly all ot the discharged men ar rived in the city the first of the week, some of whom remain among us. Broke His Hip. Last Friday forenoon while preparing to leave for Corvallis on an O. P. freight train, Mr. Win, Newhouse fell from the Oregon Pacific depot platform to the ground below, a distance of two or three feet, striking on his shoulder, breaking one of his collar bones, Being nearly seventy-five years of age the bone cannot heal,hence the result is liable to be serious, snd it is doubtful if he can survive the accident. Drs. Maston and Wallace attended him. Lost Tuesday night about one hundred twenty jack knives, twenty -five razors and six revolvers weie stolen from the hard ware store of Stewart Sc Sox. The indica tions were that it happened this way. After the front iron shutters in the wagon depart ment had been closed the burglar slipped in at the back door and hid in a Studebackcr wagon, one of the finest wagons made , until things were quiet, when he helped himself to what cutlery he could carry, and evidently had his hands tun, tor several knives were dropped as he passed out of the back door. The fellow was evidently aa expert in cut lery as he picked out all of the Roger knives in the show case but one or two. As Stewart & Sox keep only s first-claw stock of cutlery the loss was considerable, prob ably $150. Albany is well supplied at the present time with a bad looking lot of suspicious characters, so that more than common vigi lance is necessary, it caught in their crim inal proceedings 'some of these fellows may look for a warm reception.
