The school at the Pleasant Valley school house closed a three month's term on Satur day, June 28th, which term commenced April 8th. The roll of honor stands as fol lows : Anna Wells, 100 ; Wm. Gellatly, 97; Price Wells, 97 ; Mary Gellatly, 92 ; Jane Gellatly, 91 ; Delia Gellatly, 90 ; Olive Al len, 88 ; Jasper Allen, 87 ; John Gellatly, 87 ; Mary Wells, 85 ; Katie Wells, 82 ; John Wells, 82. The attendance this term was small, how ever the number of children in the district are few ; hardly enough to make an inter esting school. But the interest and benefit of small schools like this and also of all schools, large or small, might be greatly in creased if the directors and patrons of the school would take a deeper interest in the working of the school, and in the educa tion and advancement of their children for success or failure of whose lives they arc in a great measure responsible. If they would give the teacher encouragement and aid in the many ways that they might, the schools would 1 e much more interesting and profit able. As suggestions on these points might be given that : Parents should send all their children that are of a proper age, even if they have work to do i certainly when there is only from three to six mont'is of school during the year they should have the benefit of that. They should endeavor to have them there every day there is school, for every lesson missed is a link lost that can never be recovered. They should give the tciicher their sympathy, and be careful never to make a discouraging remark rela tive to him Or her, or the work of the school, before their children, for the spirit exhibited by the parent is nearly sure to be carried out by the child. But if anything be wrong go to the teacher, and to him or her alone, or with other patrons or directors of the school. They should visit the school often and note the working and mode of conducting thereof, and have some encour aging word to say to the pupils. And above all, parents, do not try to think that your children are not learning anything, and if you do think so do not let them know it, but encourage them to work harder to learn; and before you give the teacher all the blame and shower censure on him, just look into matters a little. Many other sugges tiouns might be made, but a hint to people of sense ought to be sufficient. Very re spectfully submitted, C. L. Bennett. . Closing exercises of school at Union school house, Dist. No. 13, E. H. Eennett, teacher. The exercises before noon were the regu lar recitations. The most interesting part began with the dinner, which was eaten put of doors after the fashion of a pic nic dinner. We arrived just in time to get our name in the pot, soon enough, however, to help ar range the tables, by way of apology for late arrival. It is needless to say that this part of the programme was entered into with hearty good will and no less good appetites. After partaking of refreshments " ye boys'' engaged in a game of pitching quoits, while the representatives of the opposite sex were clearing the tables. At the ringing of the bell we all, like obedient children, took our seats in the larpe commodious house. A declamation of welcome was delivered by Mary Newton. The next was a reading, by Clara Bohanon, " The Baby's First Tooth," which was quite well read. Then came a dialogue between Mary Newton and Mary Davis, followed by short declamations by Charley and Otto Al len, who were about the youngest pupils of the school. The next was a selection read by Frank Davis, entitled " Father Abbey's Will," in which the " old gentleman " left all nis possessions, from the "old muskrat " to the " old gray cat," to his " dear wife.' The next was a declamation by Bertie Da vis, " short and sweet, that's the kind ! " Beading by Nanny Stout, followed by a dia logue, " The Child's Wishes," by Mary Da vis, Mary Aewton, Nanny Stout and Clara Bohanon. The next was a reading by C. Stout, entitled "Selling a Coat;" the would-be clerk sold the " boss " a coat in spite of Ijimself ; too good a salesman to let go. The selection was well read and pro voked considerable merriment. Then came a dialogue between Laura Bohanon and Mar garet Newton. The "lady" who was the subject of discussion would pet and fondle a lap dog while her twins were in the care of another woman in the country, because it was not considered " lady like " to be seen with a child in her arms. Which is of most value, child or dog ? The discussion ended in favor of the child, against the custom of fashionab e society. Next was a declama tion by Diana Newton, followed by a song by the school, after which was a select read ing by Rufus Bohanon, and a declamation by Frank Davis. The piece entitled "The Travelers " was well read by Margaret New ton ; it was rather the best reading exercise of the day. After this "The Modern Belle " was read by Mary Davis, m a very satisfactory manner. The last and most pleasing exercise of the pupils was a dia logue, "The Novel Readers," spoken and acted by Mary Newton, Clara Bohanon and Diana Newton. The dialogue was executed in a manner that would do honor to any of the several high school exhibitions we have heard. "Father Phil's Collection" was read by the teacher. There were nineteen visitors present among whom were the directors of the dis trict and a number of the patrons of the school. About three oclock, the exercises being at an end, the school and company dispersed. spectator. Hon. John Whiteaker, M. C, has our thanks for pub. docs. G. Hodes is enlarging his shop. Says bis business is increasing. Glad to see it. Rev. T. J. Conner started on his return to Indianapolis, last Monday morning. Dolmans, Summer Cloaks, and linen Suits, for ladies, at Shepherd, Jaycox & Co's. E. A. Abbey and Wm. Grant started for the Yaquina Bay last Wednesday morning. Highest cash price paid tor wool by A. Cauthorn & Son. Mr. C. Uzafovage and family, of Salem, were in the city on the Fourth. The oleaginous drum-major of the Plugs should be awarded the champion sinch.. It is not polite to hug a girl so tight as to endanger her ear-ring. Who pleads guilty ? The "paragramlet" editor of the Albany Register was in a decidedly poetic mood last week. Prof. McElroy returned from Salem, last Tuesday, where he had been attending a meeting of the school board. Billy Boone, formerly local on the Stand ard staff, is now city editor of the Bee, and is now making a spicy sheet of it. If you are going to preserve fruit, we have New York, New Orleans and San Francisco sugars. Also extra teas and coffees, and the best syrups in the market, at Ray's. W. A. Wheeler, late of the Benton Dem ocrat, returned from Portland, last Wednes day. He has about concluded arrangements to start up that paper again soon. A little " onpleasantness" occurred in a leading mercantile firm, of this city, last Wednesday -and replenished the city treas ury. Did not learn full particulars. R. Koehler, President of the West Side R. R. Co., has advertised for bids for the construction of a passenger and freight de pot at Independence. That's business. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Russ, photographers, had a movable gallery here on the 4th. Last Wednesday Mrs. Russ returned home, to Salem, while Mr. Russ removed his gallery to Junction. Last Friday morning, while the excursion ists from Salem were landing from the Occi dent, a young son of Mr. Gerber, of this city, fell from the wharf into the river. He was promptly rescued by Capt. Bell. Masonic Monthly, for June, 3. XV. Kins ley & XV. G. Alban, publishers, San Fran cisco, is upon our table. It is devoted to the interests of the Masonic fraternity in general and the Pacific coast in particular. Call at Mrs. J. H. Kelly's millinery store, two doors south of H. E. Harris' on Second street, where she is i:iw prepared to cut aud tit H kinds of ladies' and misses, dress and cloak patterns. Measures taken for paper patterns. 16:28w2. Corvallis was highly favored on the Fourth, as usual. Drenching ruins occurred, both north and south of us, while we did not have enough to soil or damage light dresses. Happy Corvallis. The only accidents that we heard of here, on the 4th, was the young man, Cole, being thrown from his horse ami badly injured, anil a hind wheel of a family carriage lieiug wrecked by a pair of heavy trucks, driven by Mr. R. Hamlin. Paul Wiley, formerly of this city, has purchased an 80 acre farm, in fine state of cultivation, one mile north of Sodaville. He ie well pleased with his location, family all healthy. He continues to trade horses "occasionally." Dr. J. R. Bay ley will organize a Bine Ribbon Club next Sunday at 1 1 o'clock, A. M., at Orange Hall, on Muddy. It is ex pected that a number of our citizens, inter ested in the temperance cause, will, accom pany him. AmoUjj the members of the " art preserv ative " in this city on the Fourth, we no ticed B ig. Gen. M. V. Brown and Major Wn Mansfield, of Albany, and Col. E. U. Norton, Capt. F. Conover Lieut. H. H. Hal lock and Major Henderson, of Salem. . Among the numerous visitors in our city, on the 4th, was Miss Libbie Brown, former ly a teacher in the North District school, of this place, but now a teacher in the Astoria Public school. Slie has been employed for another year. Miss Brown was a universal favorite here, aud she seems no les3 so, in Astoria. We have received the second number of the Welcome i-tranger, published by Wrenn & Holgate, Corvallis. It is neatly printed, contains much interesting matter, and has a large amount of instruction as to the best places to obtain homes of all kinds. Salem Mercury. The Corvallis saw-mill closed down last Monday evening, in consequence of some accident to the machinery, portions of which had to be sent below for repairs. One saw mill will scarcely be able to supply the de mand for lumber in this city. Good open ing for another. Col. Hogg arrived home from San Fran . last Saturday, and returned to Port land on Tuesday, of this week, to make ar rangements for shipping the iron and roll ing stock of the XV. V. & C. R. R. upon its arrival in Portland to this place, provided the river iB not too low. Should it be found impractacable to ship by boat, we think there is good prospect for being able to ship by the west side railroad before the summer is ended. Changing Machinery. The Portland Bee, of the 3d inst., has the following rela tive to two favorite boats on the upper Wil lamette river : " The steamer City of Sa lem has hauled in alongside the Ohio at the levee on Front street, near Taylor, where the boiler and machinery of the former will be transferred to the latter. The Salem has new engines now en route from the East, a new and larger boiler will be placed in po sition and when thoroughly overhauled will be one of the fastest boats on the Upper Willamette. The Ohio, which is the only light-draught boat on the upper river, will, when she again takes her route, be as good Printing Material. We learn from the Portland Daily Bee that Miller & Richard, of Scotland, type founders, propose to es tablish a branch house in Portland, with Mr. Samuel Robinson as manager. They will kep everything in the printing line, at reasonable prices. This will be a great con venience to the printers of Oregon and Washington Territory. This firm will im mediately put up a $2,600 fast power press for the Bee office. This indicates a rapid in crease of business for the Bee. Hotel Burned. Last Friday, 4th inst., about noon, the Comstock House, in Alba ny, was discovered to be on fire, and before the engines could arrive the fire was beyond control, and the building was reduced to ashes. A portion of the furniture was saved. In consequence of scarcity of water it was with great difficulty that the depot and large warehouse were saved. There was some insurance, but what amount we are not informed. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective flue, and caught in the second story. A large number of the firemen, and many citizens of Albany were in Corvallis at the time, and were star tled by ajdispatch bearing the startling intel ligence. The dinner station of the trains, north and south, has been changed to Berry's Hotel, at Junction, as of yore. Railroad Contractor. Mr. M. T. Ward, contractor on the Westside road, gave us a pleasant call, last Tuesday morn ing, subscribed for the Gazette and left an order for some job work. This, to us, was the first direct fruits of the approaching railroad. At that time the graders were within four miles of Corvallis in the Locke neighborhood. The farmers, along the line, find a ready market for butter, eggs, chick ens, beef, pork, etc. Mr. Ward says there will be plenty of time this fall, after com pleting the Westside road to this place, to grade the entire line to Yaquina Bay, and that he will obligate himself to do it, if the company will give him the contract at rea sonable figures. Poisoned by Succotash. A Boise city paper of late date says : On Sunday, the loth inst., at dinner, five of the members of the family of Rev. A. J. Joslyn were poi soned by eating canned succotash. Mrs. Jos lyn and one of the little girls were exceed ingly sick for several hours. Three of the children who did not taste the succotash, were not affected. The symptoms seemed to be those of antimonial poisoning, and re storatives were administered accordingly with relief to the patients. The succotash was put up by the firm of J. B. Brinkley & Son, Baltimore, Maryland. Great Mistake. The party who invaded Mr. Wm. Dixon's potato patch, one night last week, made a sad mistake and dug the late instead of the e..rly potatoes. It took thirty-two hills to produce a moderate mess, when two hills of the early ones would have yielded as many. Mr. D. says he has no objections to giving the fellow a row, if he is really in need, but he don't like to have his whole patch dug over at this season of the year. A double-barrelled shot gun would be a very good thing to mark such rogues with. Why not try it, friend Dix on. - .

Even this " quick time " can bo shortened several hours between Yaquina bay or Cape Foulweather, (the natural outlet of the Wil lamemette valley) and San Francisco. The world moves. New Officers. The annual election of officers of Young America Engine Company, No 1, for the ensuing year, occurred last Saturday evening, 5th inst. , with the follow ing result : President, J. R. Bryson ; Vice Pres't, M. S. Woodcock ; Recording Secre tary, W. S. McFadden; Financial Secretary, Jas. A. Cauthorn ; Treas., Thos. Graham ; Foreman, Cy. Powers ; 1st Ass't., J. S. Ba ker ; 2d Ass't., Geo. M. Gerhard ; Fire Del egates, Thos. E. Cauthorn, M. S. Woodcock and L. G. Kline. Is It True ? The Salem Statesman, of the 6th inst., says : "Some of the boys complain of being charged exhorbitant prices at Corvallis, hav ing to pay as high as 3 for a single bed at the hotel." Why not be a little more specific, and give the name of the hotel, as well as the " boys." We have but three hotels in Cor vallis, and it would require positive proof to convince us that either of the Corvallis landlords would be guilty of anything so mean and contemptible. Let us have the names, by all means. Found. A lady's shawl was picked up in the court house square, on the 4th, and left at this office which the owner can have by proving property and paying for this notice. Also, on the mornintr of the 5th, part of a lady's earring, which the owner can have by proving property and paying for this notice. p Sad Day. Two deaths occurred in Salem on Snnday, the 28th of June, .Mrs. Sarah M. Hyde and Mrs. Ella Ford Robinson, of consumption. Mrs. Robinson was a gradu ate of the Medical Department of the Wil lamette University, and had been married only a few months. All that skillful at tendance and tender nursing' could do, were of no avail. Surely " death loves a shining mark." Lost. On the Fourth, in this city, a la dy's gold cuff pin. It is valued as a keep sake, and the finder will confer a great favor by leaving the same at this office. 16:28w2. Nor Dead. Notwithstanding the an nouncement in some of our exchanges, of the death of young Cole, who was thrown from his horse and severly injured, on the 4th, we are glad to be able to state that he is still alive, and in a fair way to recover. State Fair. E. M. Waite, Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, announces that the time for commencing the State Fair has been fixed for Wednesday, Oct. 1st, 1879, and will continue until the 9th or 10th. Rather Queer Addition. The Inde pendence River Side is responsible for the following, but the editor is pardonable, as the paper was dated on the 4th of July : " Prof. D. T. Stanley has unroofed his dwelling house, and is making other addi tions thereto." Too Late. We were promised an ad vance proof-sheet of the report of the com mencement exercises of Philomath College, in time for our last week's issue of the Ga zette. The report came to hand by Thurs day's mail, last week, after our issue had been worked off. Why the delay, we are not informed. The report, at this late day, would be like a last year's bird's nest out of date, and for this reason, we do not pub lish it. On Trial. The Portland Bee of the 7th inst. , has the following : " Ah Lee, the vil lainous looking Chinaman arrested for the murder of a Christian Chinaman in the Joss House is now on trial in the Circuit Court. Charley Lee Quong is present and takes in every sentence and cesture. and as he is in the same boat with Ah Lee, w naturally anxious. FOURTH AT TOLEDO Ed. Gazette : You have a goodly list of subscribers to your excellent paper in this vicinity, and as " everybody " was not at our pic nic and celabration, perhaps the pro gramme and how it passed off would be in teresting. The whole affair was projected and car ried to a successful termination through the exertions of our excellent school mistress, Miss Mary M. De Vore, of Albany, for the benefit and edification of her school and any persons who chose to participate, and all agree that too much praise cannot be be stowed on that lady for the energy she ex hibited. A flag-pole was raised and the " Stars and Stripes," God bless them, flung to the breeze, amid loud shouts for the American Uuion. There was no mistaking the Union sentiment among that multitude. Mr. J. Thompson was previously chosen president of the day, but owing to the se vere indisposition of his wife could not be present. Mr. Wm. Mackay acted as such, and filled the office successfully, notwith standing his well-known " extreme modes ty." Mr. Walter Huffard, of Toledo, deliv ered the oration, which was to the point, and very interesting. Katie Mackay (7 years old) as "Goddess of Liberty," made a very pretty appearance, clothed in pure white and crowned with a wreath of beauti ful, fresh, fragrant flowers.

Mr. Editor, it would have filled your ben evolent heart full to overflowing to have heard the children deliver their pieces and sing the beauti'nl son.s selected for the oc casion. They acquitted themselves with credit, showing the careful training they had previously received. The table was bountifully supplied with substautials and delicacies ; each child received a sack full of candy and nuts, and the older ones the nuts and candy without the sacks. The steam schooner, Kate and Anna, Capt. Chas. Lutjens, was launched success fully on Monday last. She is 40 tons bur then. Recini Oleum. July 7th, 1879. Funeral. Mr. James M. Yantis, an old pioneer of Linn county, and father of Jas. A Yantis and Mrs. B. W. Wilson, died yesterday morning, at the residence of B. W. Wilson, in this city. Funeral from the Presbyterian church at 10 a. m. to-day, Fri day, 11th inst. An Old Pioneer Gone. Wm. Bilyeu, one of the oldest citizens of Linn county, died at his residence near Scio recntly, aged 80 years. He was perhaps the ancestor of the most numerous family in Oregon the Bilyeu's reaching over a hundred in number, nearly all of whom reside on the forks of the Santiam. We deeply sympathize with his large circle of relatives and friends, and shall attempt to secure a more succinct obit uary of the good old man at an early day. Peace to his ashes. Albany Democrat. Our Visitors. The Salem Town Talk, in referring to the 4th of July excursion, says : " After listening to oration by Gov. Thayer, the Firemen and Capital Guards were then treated to good square meals fur nished by the citizens of Corvallis. The ex cursionists were treated sumptuously by the citizens and enjoyed the day to the utmost. We thank the citizens of Corvallis for their kindness and hope some day to return the favors." The Albany Democrat says : Last week a Mrs. Grisham, living at Brownsville, made an attempt to take her own life. She took a large dose of morthine, and then wrote a note telling her husband what she had done and asking him to take care of their child ren, and then pinning it to her breast laid down to die. Fortunately she was discov ered in time and saved. The cause of her rash act can only be surmised. Wednesday night a fire broke out in Lut trell's butcher shop at Lebanon, and before the citizens could extinguish the flames the butcher shop, Bercaw & Gilmour's saloon, the post office and Charley Harmon's barber shop were burned to the ground. Nothing was saved in the first two buildings, but considerable was taken out of the others. It was the work of an incendiary, and the citizens are hard at work ferreting out the scoundrel. H. E. Rankin, traveling agent for Fel lows' Syrup, gave U3 a call yesterday. Ad. next week. Don't Forget It. If you are troubled with nervousness are disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely conclude that you have the Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to become torpid this season of the year as poisons arising from stagnant water or decaying vegetation are more numerous and are through inhalation taken into the blood. Unless the liver is strong and active and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure blood to drive out the impurities, the above mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if not heeded, end in more terrible diseases and death. White's Prairie flower proves itself the Great Liver Panacea. Its action on the liver is different from any medicine ever compounded. Its cures are truely won derful. Try it. Price twenty-live cents and seventy-five cents. Ask Yourself these Questions. Are you a despondent sufferer from Sick Headache, Habitual Costiveness, Palpita tion of the Heart ? Have you Dizziness of the Head ? Is your Nervous System de- Sressed? Does your Blood circulate badly ? lave you a Cough ? Low Spirits ? Com ing up of the food after eating ? &., &. All of these and much more are the direct re sults of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and Indigestion. Green's August Flower is now acknowledged by all Druggists to be a positive cure. 2,400,000 bottle were given away in the U. S. through Druggists to the people as a trial. Two doses will satisfy any person of its wonderful quality in cur ing all forms of Indigestion. Sample bot tles 10 cts. Regular size 75 cts.

Ed.Ga zsrrE. TESTIMONIALS: Albany, April 20, 1870. The undersigned physicians of Albany, having seen the apparatus used in Ames process for preserv ing meats, etc., and heard the manner of its use ex plained, together with the chemicals used, will say, that as used, we do not consider there is any danger to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona ble, and we can assign no cause why the process should not prove a success.
