dogs an ponies will be in Albany on

lies were capable OF such variety oI pleas |
ing tricks rs seen last evening ut Prot
Gentry's exhibition, The dogs and |
ponies had been carefully and patiently |
trained, % be sure, but something higher |
than mere brute instinct must have form
cd the foundation for such training |
Some OF the tricks evidenced almost hu- |
man intelligence, aud the little animals |
| seemed TO try 20 surpass each other IN the |
| performance Of their several parts 70 |
win the applause Of the audience and the |
appreciation OF their master.
! Cor Lrvr.-A couple men al the depot |
this noon waited on the north side for
the train b. Portland 10 come. In the /
meantime the train eame Ia on the other /
side, waited twenty minutes Tor dinner |
and left without them. The men, old /
Oregonians, who had not been here since /
the north bound train shifted its route /
to the south track past the depot, asked
the DEMOCRAT man how soon the train
u 4
ner remarked that that was the first /
time In their long lives that they had
been left. Nearly every day somebody /
gets fooled at Alhany's live depot. Tray-
eIers have to keep their eyes open with |
four trains around at one time.

Gators have been Going u 1--we business in

Jailed TO appear as witnesses aud no
proofs were made. There are lots Of
fools in this world.

A CnmD or MnPoRruHR.-The son Of |

accidents. The Pendleton T.. 0. SAYS:

misfortune. Yesterday, while wheeling |
baby, he happened 10 step ON pistol

One of the cartridges exploded, the ball /
passing very near the boys face, and /
burning his eyes so severely with powder
that he is hardly able TO see this morn

ability Of their parents to carry them
through, which it does, as no one wishes
to have them arrested, as they are only
boys; but such "hoods," few cities are
ever more cursed with, for they are the
terror Of several communities.
