Is the case, as i Is reported to be frequent
" the case in this city. AT the same time
whatever the cause, Barney became prett,
insane and of course his word would not b.
taken in court of justice. II is a fact
though, that he had $40 and that it disap
peared. We simply give this version In
order to keep our readers posted on cur.
rent matters in the city,
UNrRUE.-Mr. c. G. Rawlings, agent OF
the o. R. & n. at this city, says the item
copied from the Corvallis Gazette in our is.
sue of Saturday, In reference to there being
case of small pox on the river steamer
Occident, was absolutely untrue. He took
pains to see the officers OF the boat about It
and they pronounced 1t a canard from be.
ginning. The Gazette will confer 4 favor
by informing us what its reliable authority
was. The DEMOCRAT published the item
simply because II Is here to let the public
know what people are saying and doing.
ODDs Too MUcH.-There are about
twenty-five persons in Albany who invest
in Louisiana lottery tickets every month
over 500 month being sent out of the
city to be placed in the pockets of this
grandest of American swindles, besides
which wheels of fortune are Insignificant.
Prizes are rarely really drawn anywhere,
most of those published as drawn not being
drawn at all. In several years $40 has been
received at Albany, where several thous-
ands have been sent out. Aren't the odds
too much.
REACHED BAKER CrTY.-In our peram-
bulatiops for items Tuesday evening we

and after a settlement of affairs would re-
turn to Oregon again, where he had been
wanting to come for sometime Blade.

than the Csleztials.
