OUR CoNTEaLPLATEDgD gDAILY.--Some
of our friends express themselves fear
full Of the success Of the DAILY DEMO-
Graf which we expect to start in the
early spring. This is not to be Won
dered at considering the fact that AL
bany,is only provincial town with a
population Of less than twenty-five
hundred inhabitants. But we knoeO
the people of our little city, and dare
make the experiment because we have
ample proof of their liberality and pub
lie spirit. Realizing the fact that we
have fornearlysa a decade past devoted
the columns of the DEMOCRAT to the
interests and welfare of our city and
county, they have, irrespective of po-
litical feeling, ever given us a hearty
and liberal support. OF course this
has been a matter of business with
them. They knew paid full return
on the money invested, Having a
large circulation we have advertised
our city and county abroad and assist
ed more than any other one agency in
bringing population, capital and enter
prise hither. A live paper always
does this for its locality, and is thus
entitled to the fullest support. When
the daily starts, our field of usefulness
in this direction will be greatly
increased and proportionate appre-
citation of our labors will undoubtedly
be shown by our citizens. We have
no fears of the result. Everybody will
take the paper. However, as an addi-
tional security against failure we shall
have thorough canvass made and
ubdsrs a Id just what our tangible en-i
couragement will be before the daily is
launched upon the journalistic billows.
We havn't any loose change to fool
away in the qualification of foolish
ambitions, and don't propose to Ego it,
blind" in this venture. Look out for
our cariyasser shortly, and give him
good encouragement both in advertis-
ing and subscription. We expect to
publish live paper.

FRINK, the tarnalist leecheyest Of
all the life insurance agents, Is in town,
and we would rather undertake to
cross Niagara Railroad bridge with al
locomotive plowlng under our coat
tails than to try to get away from him
without taking policy. He is so
soothing, so harassing; SO oily, SO
rough; SO winning, SO repulsive; So
mild, so vehement; so bashful, so
cheeky; so polite, so ill-conduetedi so
patient, SO rushing and SO confounded-
ly cohesive that you might as well
try to shake off coat Of mucilage or
an Allcock Porous Plaster. There is
no chance to be ''policy dodger'
where Frink is, and our citizens have
generally given it up and sat quietly
down and submitted to their fate.
DouBLY FATAL.-Mr. NJ. A. Twine
writes us from Reno, Neyada, under
date Of Jan. 10th, giving an account
Of alamentable shooting affray which
occurred there a few days prior to the
date of the letter. 1t appears that
two men, named respectively B. r.
Smith and J. Condra, entered into a
discussion with pistols during which
six shots were exchanged and both
men killed. Smith was formerly a
resident Of this county. The writer Of
the letter gives no other particulars.
A MILL SITE.-A valuable mill site

is valuable one and Il suitable for
