LossRs SE1 TLEn.--The losses on the
house and barn OF Mark IIuhurt were al
justed Sept.Is, The lIartfort Insurance
Co, In which the house was insured
which Is ably represented here by Mr.. II
F.Merrl was satisfactorily adjusted,a was
also the loss on the barn in the Albany
company, which was paid at once. Our
contemporary says the loss In the Hartford
"may be paid" There Is not more re.
liable insurance company In the world
| than the Hartford, and the loss has already
been adjusted and the money for II Is as
sure rs anything can be. There are no
| "may hes" about the Hartford. OF course
| the DEMOCRAT though advises people to
insure IT, our home company; butthat com.
pany neither expects nor wahts TO carry
all the policies In the county.
| HousEp.--No. rs new steamer was form.
ally housed on Friday, with very little
of the old time enthusiasm, there being
only sixteen red shirts IN the procession.
At No. as iiall Mayor Cowan In one of
his ehaTacteris,ieally pointed speeches
turned over the engine to Albany Engine
Co. No. I. Henry Suesens, foreman of
that Company, responded la a speech iult
of feeling The engine was then taken to
No. rs house and placed on the side of the
engine floor until certain fixtures are OBJ.
tanned for operating II. Three hearty
cheers were given for the engine and three
for the Mayor and Common Council. AL.
bany may congratulate itself on having the
best fire department of any city on the
Coast of It's size.
CALLED-The DEMOCRAT office &c.
knowledges a call from Mr.. Mcclure, the
SJf1mgs man. Mr.. NJ. Is nice looking
man; but he has been In most awfully
small business when connected with such
sheet, as nc undoubtedly was. lie claims
that he sold out on FRIDAY but the fact Is
he did not until Monday, and II makes no
difference anyway. The man who will
run such dirty sheet Is as bad as the cor.
respondents who help TO pollutc It's pages,
whether he does the writing himself or
not. Mr.. Mcclure may be a prominent
man in East Portland; but the estimation
in which he Is held In Albany Is so small that
II would take microscope of enormous
powers to see II.
NJ. n There Is now a hole in the
toes of the shoes on each of the Man About
Towns feet caused by contact with high
headed nails evenings when electric lights
were not near enough TO do any good. IL
Is getting so that II Is necessary for one TO
feel ones way along>the street nights past
protruding nails. 4 friend advises us TO
sue the city for the price OF the shoes. but
we are not long faced enough for that.
Hundreds have been having the NJ. a. rs
experience. Speaking OF sueing gentle.
man says the water from the ditch Is widen.
| ing his sidewalk and he Is contemplating
an action for damages.

tiles say is the greatest orator In the L. S.

400 PoUSDs \ DAY.-A Lebanon cor.
respondent of Salem paper says: "Not
far from Lebanon, w. X. Cheadle has a
splendid dairy, of over fifty blooded cows
from the cream Of hich he makes 2oolbs.
of cheese daily. lie has 400 acres of pas.
ture and 400 of arabic land. Some thifty

coal has been discovered in large quanti-

LoTs or THEM.-''T. Shattuck, the mel.
lon king, of Josephine county, has shipped
! IS carloads Of watermelons TO date, and
will doubtless ship as many more before
the season ends. They go to every part OF
the Willamette valley where they find an
immense sale. Mr. Shattuck will use up
his surplus, II any, in making syrup. A
few more such men of enterprise and push
is what the country necds."-Grarts Pass

FROM TIE BAY.-Hon. Allen Parker, of
the Bay, was in the city Notwithstanding
the so called strike by the fishermen Mr..
Parker is running about IS boats right
