A young man from the country on sell ing a horac recommended H by saying : "It would do a man good to see that horse, on coming to a hill, get down and pull." After the purchaser had had the beast a week or two he was heard to remark : "Yet, It ::vW do a man good to see the animal pull." O The nice looking young man who manip ulates the electric lights draws big audien ces every day when he changes the carbons. Large drove of immense beetles and mas todon moths are found in the globes, gener ally without any breath left, presenting quite a curiosity shop. As he takes out the car bon stubs the yourg man meekly presents them to his country friends for slate pen cils, O Few people have any idea of the real value a well equipped woolen mill would be to Albany. A four set mill would mean the addition to Albany immediately of a popu atio.i of at Ieat 503 to say nothing of what would follow its presence here. As a means for investing money it would surpass any other institutions that can be organised, not excepting insurance companies. Men who own stuck in the Brownsville mid would not sell for ten time what it cost them. It pay them to keep it. Now is the time to take steps. O It has not been very remarkably wann up to date, yet the Albany small boy has already cooled his heated brow in the limpid waters of the Calipooia Creek and Santiam ditch. He has been very careful thougn to dry his hair and keep his shirt right side out. O The Man About Town has been handed the following item taken from the Oneida, (N. Y.) l'niri, of April Jist : "We were in receipt of a first class snow storm this morning, and at this time the ground is again robed in white. It is discouraging to 'spring poets.' Farmers are badly behind with their work and are getting anxious for fair weather. Comment is not necessary O The Lebanon fire department, so the M . A. T. is informed will have a fly hot team ready for the State tournament. They have ordered a racing cart with bicycle wneels and train tor blood, a it were, several of the members of the team are among the fast ruaners in the State. O The Man About Town observes that there is a large amount of obscene literature and pictures in circulation among the boys and young men of Albany. Some of it would pollute a sewer, as it more than pollutes the characters of HMM who have anything to do with it Candidly, now, i there any satWfactioVi, boys, when vou con template the matter seriously, in having vour MM tilled onlv with tilth. Veall eat a peck of dirt in our life time, according to an old saving ; but it wou'd be fearful to think of one living on mud exclusively. Too many of the rising generation , though. come close to a dirt diet in literature, and we warn them that it is absolutely ruining their mental digestive organs. A Vim- Kntrrtaiaasrnt The entertainment given by the ladies of the Congregational Church, at the Opera House, Monday evening, like all their en tertainments, was a success. It was pecu liarly an enjoyable affair. Amorg the parts were a bouquet drill, under the command of Capt. Annie Althouse ; a May psle drill by some boys and girls ; a tableaux, "crowning the May Queen." a quartet by Messrs Adair and Woodworth and Mrs Chamberlain and Mrs Cochran, which was heartily encored, as it desetved to be ; a character song by Mr Adair, happily ren dered, piano duct by Misses Marshall and Vance, solos by Mrs Chamberlain and Mrs Cochran, and recitations, quartets, etc. Ice cream was served .'or 10 cents a glass, and everybody patronized the stands. Go to Corvallis. This (Friday) evening an entertainment will be given at Corvallis for the benefit of the free reading room. The principal at tractions wil be the exercises by the "Hatchet" party given in the CAR Hall in this city several weeks ago.and a bouquet drill by the young ladies of the Congrega tional Church of this city, as presented on Monday evening. A special train will leave this city at 7 o'clock Friday evening and return after the entertainment. Fare for the round trip will be $1, including admission to the show,and it will pay our people to go. Without Seeing It. While coming home from his recent trip to Illinois Mr. E. F. Sox met a stranger, an Eastern man, who became interested in Al bany, inquired about various bargains in real estate, and after Mr Sox's arrival home corresponded with parties here, resulting in his purchasing Mr CL Brush's property on First street, accupied by Wm Fortmiller & Co., paying $3 100 for the same, without seeing the property. We think he secured a bargain. Seven in Two Years. Mrs. Phoebe Lynch, an Indiana woman became the mother of seven children in two years, triplets and a quartet. There would be no question about the dear little things living if they resided in Albany and Mrs. Lynch bought her groceries and produce of Conn Brothers. They keep such a fresh, pure stock that the most delicate thriyeon them. Mr Peacock has ripe strawberries garden acioss the river. Ul hii Veterinary Surgeon. Dr. A. J. ltossiter, of Marion county, who som time since graduated in the Veterinary College in Toronto, Canada, haa decided to locate in tbia city to follow his profession. He comes well recommended and will doubt less succeed well here. Sweet Potato Plants. The ouly place in town where you can find tin above ia at Bkownki.l k Stan ard's, The low price grocers. A Bnsiness Pointer. Remember that we will sell all goods carried over from last season and former years, at actual cost. These goods are fresh and clean, not damaged or shelf-worn, being in good condition ; but must be sold to make room for our immense stock of new spring goods which are arriving. ev Thompson & Waters Kveelng Dally Albany Democrat. Next Monday evening the Ukmochat will besdn the mihllcatlnn of a daily. It m f w will make no excuse for so disng. It h the oldest Democratic paper In Oregon and is entitled to the luxury. It may be said, though, that the Dkmimk at has been urtred for some time to make the move. It will, according to the custom of paper published in cities of the slse of Albany, be half the sise of the weekly, large enough to get in all the news to be obtained In a place of the population of Albany by the largest amount of rustling, with room for attempts at snice now and then. A desperate effort will he made to have It readable. We ex pect to enlarge It at an early date, as the business justifies.

O. and Weston l.mder are having a lively time throwing Aegean stables at each other, Mr. Hugh Fields, of Brownsville, in this county, figures in the matter on account of having, it is alleged received the following letter from one of the parties mixed up In the squabble : "I wish to say to vou that I am in con siderable trouble and straightened circumstance- tin.uici.ill and need help, and vou are jast the man who is able to help me out, I am in peed of stuuo which I wish you to let me have, as I know you can If you will. 1 ou know that I am well acquainted with a good many circumstances In your affairs, and could make It very unpleasant if not un safe for vou. if I feel disposed. But if you will assist me in this emergency, I will not say anything about those matters. I need $uioo and if it is not furnished I shall not feel bound to longer conceal from the public or from certain interested parties what I know." A Serious Runaway. Last Sunday afternoon Mr. Shackleford, a V. S., was returning from Corvallis with Bishop Dubs.on the east side of the Willam ette, when the team, one from the livery stable of John Schmeer, became frightened and ran away. Shackleford was thrown out and dragged about thirty rods. Bishop Dubs retained hU seat and was uninjured. Mr. Shackleford was taken to the Rum House in this city and a physician sent for. He was considerably injured Internally, but will recover. The wagon was badly broken up. Shackleford claimed to have had $So in his pockets which was lost and a boy was sent to find it, without success. We are in formed that he tried to borrow $1.0 just before starting for Corvallis, which, if true, explains that part of it. Ito.ird of Tral-.

Institute was called to order by Mr Her ron and, in the absence of the regular of ficers, II W Herron was chosen chairman and W A McGhee, Sec'y. Mr Z T True love and Miss Minnie McFarland were ap pointed critics. The subject, Primary Reading, was In troduced by Mr Burt, who said reading should be taught while the child is young and the organs tender and flexible, pronounc ing words Is not reading. Mr. Hunt said that a teacher should tell the class how to study the lesson. Mr. McGhee said we should strive for method, this method was to require the pupil to repeat what is read. Mr. Iruelove would assign a short lesson and try to get out all there Is involved In the subject. Mr. Hunt does not believe In the repeti tion of sentences but requires the pupil to narrate what Is read. Several other speak ers followed.

Mr McGhee was called to the chair and Mr Herron opened the discussion on Pri mary Arithmetic. There are two extremes, he said, in teaching Arithmetic, the one is to start the little folks in a targe book, the other, to keep them counting and arrang ing objects. He would choose the golden mean between these two. 1 he text-book he would not use, but would give lessons fro m the black-board and from slips of papei. He illustrated his methods and also guve an excellent class drill. Mr. Hunt spoke in favor of using objects in the first lessons until the pupils could count and combine numbers readily. Mr Burt would also use objects, t ha' being na ture's way of teaching counting. Mr. Williams said that more depended upon the teacher than the method, the work should be full of life and vivacity. Mr. Russell opened the discussion on Percentage. He would follow the methods in the Arithmetic closely. Mr. Williams Illustrated analysis In Per centage by analyzing a problem through its various cases. He also spoke a few min utes on teaching Compound Numbers, stating that they should be taught experi mentally so far as practicable, and that the pupils should be required to do much work in measuring outside of school house, such as boards, tots, fields, etc, Mr. Hunt agreed with the method and would extend It to all the tables. Mr. Yates would teach the tables first and apply them practically afterward. A recess of a few minutes was taken dur ing which the band played several excellent pieces. Cpon motion of Mr Hunt, the subject of grading the district schools was discussed by the Institute all the teachers speaking in favor of it The critics report was called for and showed that the usual number of mistakes had been made In grammar and pronuncia tion.
