OBITUARY.

1886. Mr.. Anderson Deckard, aged "a
years
Mr.. Deckard was born in Hawkins Co,

in the vicinity of Albany ever since, great
ly respected and beloved. From his youth,
Mr.. Deckard was firm believer in Christ
anity, and devoted member of the Cum
berlain Presbyterian Church. Through ali
his long and severe sickness, his faith in
God and assurance of heaven, seemed to
grow brighter and stronger to the very end
Among his last thoughts and feelings chat
found expression in words, were those oi
God, friends and heaven. Thus, full d
years, and ripe for the upper and bsttel
life, he has passed on before, not long henc,
to welcome to the eternal home the tieal
companion left whose privilege it was t
bestow upon him such attentive and aifec
tionate ministry, through all his sufferiags

On February 13rd and 24th, at the Opera
House in this city the ladies of the U. p.
Church viii give entertainments which, Il
may be predicted, will attract great atten-
ton. On both evenings there will be ex-
hibitions of the art and curiosity collections
of the city, which will be obtained for the
occasion. This will give an opportunity for
our citizens to display their relics as well as
fine pictures, etc. A supper will also be
spread both nights On the first night a
program viii be given consisting, among
other things, of one of the famous broom
drills. On the last evening a program Of
music, tableaux, ETC., will be presented. In
addition to the supper and art exhibition.
Every citizen in Albany should prepare 70
attend.

One of the greatest epochs in young
mans life is his twenty-frst birthday. On
that day it takes ten foot pole to reach
him. The past is boyish myth, the future
mans career. On last Monday the ranks
of the Democracy of Linn county were in
creased by at least one, William Humph-
rey, telegraph operator of this city, reaching
his majority. In the evening of that day
with many young friends of both sexes the
event was celebrated in becoming man
ner at ihe residence of George Hum 'hrey,
Esq, in the Third Ward.

sRow Poetry.

Every winter the press of the country
gushes over the number Of poems on the
beautiful Snow" that it consigns to the
waste basket. This may be genuine as TO
Eastern papers, but here it Is fiction. The
DEMOCRAT at least does not remember be-
ing afflicted with poetry on that subject.
AT this time one would be a great relief.
1t would be like an oyster at a Church
oyster supper. For the purpose Of bring
ing out the poetic genius Of the people Of
the Valley we hereby agree to publish in
our next issue any snow poetry sent us not
exceeding eight lines in length. Now dir
your icycIes in your ink and make The
fakes fly.

We have just received ST. Jacobs Oil
family Calendar, containing the twelve signs
of the zodiac in modern dress and more fun
than could be gotten from Mills Logic in a
million years. It is the most immense
comic volume ever put on the public and
all it costs is o at any drug store. voegeIer
& Co. know how to tickle the public and
advertise their wares, see first page Of DEM
ocRAT, and as well appreciate the influence
and power Of the press, every almanac sent
to an editor being gotten up with more elab-
crate taste than those given to common
mortals, and have a genuine ribbon in the
corner.

Surprised.

Mrs. Robert Brown, or, as she is gener-
ally known, Good Samaritan Brown "a title
one may well be proud of probably has as
many genuine friends among the young
people as any one in Albany. Last Mon
day evening large number of them sur
prised Mrs. Brown at her home in the East
ern part Of the city, and were themselves,
soon after surprised by the arrival Of several
older people who had gotten awinds of tbs
matter. An uncomnonIy pleasant even
| ing was passed.

How Mach.

Judges and clerks for registration will re-
ceive three dollars day. As there arc five
for each precinct, twenty precincts in the
county, the board to sit three days, forty
registry books, certificates, ETC., besides
boxes, and milage for carriage Of registry
books to county seat very interesting ex-
ample Is presented for taxpayers to solve.
The twelve or fifteen hundred dollars which
the law will cost the county will not be
paid back by any publication of the ballot
box. Registry laws do very well for large
cities, but for thinly settled counties they
are decided nuisance and an injustice TO
tax payers and people generally.

AS the original p.ice Of w. b. Aver & CO.,

bid of Mr.. Watts was as cheap as any
local printer can do the. work. As other
Portland printers charge at least $z II Is a
great query how ]. K. Gil & Co, can do II
it for half the price. Still, there are mys-
teries among job printers as well as among
Lawyers or Legislators.

Psor PeIIry.

Il Is very poor policy for a newspaper to
set itself zap as critic of other newspapers
generally, particularly when It Is published
in glass house itself. It's remarks are
bound to be back acting. Only a casual
observation of the ways of life will reveal
the fact that either person or journal in
the habit of criticizfng most Is always the
most open to criticism. We are much
obliged to the Benton Leadey, for It's mild IL
not kind remarks in reference to the DEMO
cRAT in its critique column but the man
ner in which it.slings its missiles at some
of its contemporaries is decidedly 4th of

Just as we expected the Oregon Legisla-
ture is having fun made Of at on account OF
their bicycle law passed at the last session.
The following from the famous Noristown
Herald is sample
"The Oregon legislature has passed law
to the effect that bicyclists must stop riding
whenever they approach within one hun.
dred yards of team, and after dismounting
remain standing until it has passed. This
law may be good one, but it does not 60
far enough. II should be amended so as to
compel the bicyclist to take off his hat and
remain uncovered while the driver of tho
team is passing him."

ToOIs Recovered.

The tools of Mr.. J. +. Backensto, mem
toned in the last DEMocRAT as having
been stolen from Mr.. Backensto's barn in
this city were taken to Jefferson, where
part Of them were sold to Mr.. Bellinger.
Mr. Backensto hearing Of the sale went to
that place and recovered these in the pos.
session of Mr.. BeIIinger. A warrant was
issued for the thief but Is it a question
whether he will be captured.

A wonderral Revival.

Lebanon has just experienced wonder
full religious revival never before known in
the history of that city. Carried on for
several weeks it has resulted in over one
hundred people joining the churches of
that city, the Methodist Church alone get
ting 81 converts. Finding the field almost
completely exhausted meetings in that
church have been discontinued. We un-
derstand the Cumberlain Church, though
Is still holding enthusiastic meetings. Peo-
pie who have never looked inside church
almost are among the converts mentioned.
