A Docrog's OFricE.-Dr. J. L. Wallace
% now located in the Tweedale block, at
the head OF the stairs, on the second
floor; where lac has very nicely furn-
ished suite Of rooms, with three apart
ments, for different professional pur-
poses. While in New York, recently,
the doctor made specially Of the study
Of the nose, throat aud ears, ut the post
graduate school, aud brought with him
u complete set Of Instruments to be used
in the treatment of diseases affecting
these parts, az well as other valuable In
strnments. \ DEMoCHAr man who visit
cd his rooms was very much pleased at
the appearance OF things, and the facil-
itiea the doctor possesses for treating all
manner Of diseases, for which hc has
reputation here already well established.
ASorngR CAsE.-Recenlly we mem
toned the fact that In % foot well near
Albany, the water came 10 v thin II feet
OF the top, and remained. Here ts am
other case like II, mentioned by the
Monmouth Democrat:
Mrs. Sarah Davis, wishing 10 rccu-e
more water in her well, hired a wcll-bor-
er aud they went down G5 feet, making
the well now 30 feet deep. The water is
within ~ feet of the top, and by boring
80 or 100 feet further We are inclined 10
think that 4 could be brought 10 the
top. II would cost but little aud might
prove to be worth thousands OF dollars
10 the town.

A DISEASED LiyER.-This lent patent
medicine ad. but a sendoH for the news
paper Business generally, particularly up
around Walla Walla. From the Journal
Of that city We have chopped the follow
ing: "While in the newspaper business
we discovered two potent facts, which
are not generally known. One Is, that
most men will subscribe for paper
early during spring and usually promise
TO pay after they scll their wheat or kill
their hogs. Then again, most men will
quit paper about the time the editor
wants his money. To dun man for u
subscription always seems TO give ofense
but there Is no earthly sense in that.
On the contrary it's n slight indication
Of q narrow mind and diseased liver"
PLuMBAdo AND FIRE CLAY.--A man re-
siding few miles southeast Of Lebanon
brought TO Albany some specimens OF
plumbago and fire clay, 10 pronounced
by those who have seen them, which APP
pear TO be OF remarkably fine qualify.
A test is being made at the Albany Iron
Works OF the fire clay and the plunbago
will be sent away for examination. The
plumbago is fine looking mineral, and
undoubtedly is the genuine article. Its
| cimens left in Albany. II these prove TO
be the minerals mentioned they will
prove fine thing for the county, as they
are found in large quantities.
