TOPOGRAPHIC PHENOMENON.
Mig IlbbEe Halbrook, ihandsome and
highly educated young lady q AiOnhy, ms .hs
DRMoCnAr establishment and is mnilnE won,
derful headway. She has been 50 occupleu
only about week, and can now ~. ,s' y
and d half OF type in n day, and win Temarka-
biy few errors. Her typographical oretnreh
consider this an extraordinary almost nn nl5ecs
edented achievement ana EVIL Ge 30
from the Albany Collegiate Institute last year,
with high honors, and is generally SPOKEN q
as of the most brilliant young glrs ~ nhS
OF her ever coming to want through tne az
aence Of a manly protector, she iswlseiy pro-
viding against time nf possible misioltune IS
do not know that there are any other iauy'
compositors In Oregon, but there are consideIIi
able number at work In snn rrancistS tive tive
and stylish young girls to be seen on the sIroeS'
All OF which is over average, BRO.
Mac, save that Miss Libbie has not yet
graduated, although she was IN her
last year of the Collegiate, course when
she, entered this establishment. It is
I all right, though, for she is smarter now
than most young ladies Of the present
age who have attained the degree ofI
Bachelor of Arts and passed into the
ranks or the Alumni with 1ylfg colors
and waving plumes. The DEMOCRAT
establishment Is justly proud of sour
Girl.n.
WE WoN'T Do IT The Register of
last week stated, and other papers Of
the State have quoted, that the editor
Of the DEMocRAT was about to take up
his re- tlence in, Salem. This is de-
cided 8aistake. Z, We don't intend doing
anything Of the sort Our duties as
State Printer will require US to spend
the most Of the ftIl and winter at the
Capital, but we have no thought ofe
changing our Albany home for a resi-
dence In Salem or anywhere else. The
|, Linn county people have proven them
selves to be Ir friends and well wish
ers in the past, and ives would not so
soon forget heterogeneous kindness and
answering friendship as to gallop of
for other scenes and other associations
In the first flush of fortunate clrcum-
stance which we hope will only afford
US an opportunity of more fully attest
ing our appreciation OF their favors.
We will continue to grind the DEMO
Graf machine 'ahd make it more and
more an exponent and champion ol
the prosperity and progress Of "old
Linny and our own beautiful Albany
MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING

the best OF him, when Geo. Hughe

cceded in fishing him out and towin
him successfully to terra frnld. MI

the water two or three times befor
they got to fordable water. Mr., Gate
can thank the gallantry and intrepidit
OfsGeorge Hughes for his remarkabl
preservation from watery grave.
F1RE.-Lase Wednesday afternoon
fire broke out In the'upper story Of NJ
Rubart's house occupied by Mr.
Brown as boarding house-and th
building was only saved from destrnj

OF our flre department, under charge
the invincible Joe Nebber. The ro'
