WEEKLY C0H Ai LIS GAZETTE. Oorvallis, Dec 12, 1879. OUR TRIP TO YAQUINA. Private business calling us to Yaquina" Bay, we procure! one of those excellent rub ber suits, of Jacobs anil Nsugass, and an A 1 saddle horse of Sol King, packed a few documents in a pair of borrowed saddle bags, and on last Monday week the first day of winter set out on our journey. which, to some, seemed a somewhat perilous undertaking for one in our state of health. We find, however, that riding on horseback agrees with us, and being thoroughly pro tee ted from the mud and raiu, we experi enced no inconvenience from the trip the greatest difficulty we had, being in getting our " wraps " on and off. At every point, however, we found kind friends to assist us, and got along nicely. We divided the dis tance into short rides, so that we were but slightly fatigued on the entire trip. Leaving home about 11 A. M. on Monday, we went to rtrilomath, 6 miles, and took dinner at Mr. G. W. Kisor's. After dinner we made Mr. Chas. Logsden's, 10 miles, where we found a cordial welcome, and ex cellent accommodations for the night. The day was quite pleasant, but showery. The next morning was not so pleasant rain was coming down in regular webfoot style. We were strongly urged to lay by for the day but having no assurance of bet ter weather, we proceeded on our way, ar riving at A J. Porter's, 14 miles, for din ner, where we fouur Mr. Wm. Grant and a couple of young Englishmen, named Moore, returning from the Bay, on foot. We spent a jolly hour together, while Mrs. Porter pre pared dinner for the hungry crowd, who showed our appreciation of her culinary skill bp the voracious manner in which we partook of the sumptuous repast. With Mr. Grant's assistance we were soon in full rig, our horse was at the door, and we were jogging along a dreary rood, despite the in creasing storm. About 5 p. M. we arrived at Mr. M. L. Trapp's, 14 mile3. Here the traveler always finds the best of accommodations ; and as we surrounded the bright, blazing fire on the hearth, with the happy family, after tea, it brought vividly to mind scenes of our childhood days. For real, solid comfort, so far as this world can give, the well-to-do farmer is our beau-ideal. Mr. Trapp has one of tbe be3t locations on the road, and seems to have everything that heart could wish for except school and church privileges. The former is sunplirl, this winder, by securing the services of Miss Sophia Dobse, an accomplished yonn-' lady of this city, as governess fur his children. The nsxt mmnim, Wednesday, we pro ceeded to Pioneer, 3 miles distant, left our hor'e in charge of Mr. W. W. I) wis, and seenred the services of an Indian to take oa, by small boat, to Mr. E. A. Abbey's, near Elk City, some 2 miles distant. After transacting some business with " Kit," and partaking of a hearty dinner, prepared by Oapt. Win. White, we went up to Mr. M. W. Simpson's, (Elk City) where we re mained until about 1 P. M. next day, when we took the steam launch for Newport. No person who stops once at Mr. Simpson's, will require urging to call again. It is a " good place " to stop. All travelers aree in this. Being somewhat detained, by towing a scow, we arrived at Ncport about 5 P. M. , and soon fonnd onrself most comfortably surrounded at the Bay View House. Mr. and Mrs. Abbsy kmw how to make guests feel at home and we were especially fa vored, on this occasion of which we are hot unmindful. Many thanks to the kind-hea-te 1 br3t and hostess. Unexpecte lly, but very fortunately, meet ing Hon. R. A Bensell, we were enabled to transact our business that evening, and de cided to start upon our return trip the next day having Mr. Bensell as a traveling com panion and a most pleasant one he is, too. The Bay looked to as more inviting than ever, the first time we ever visited it in winter. The people, generally, on this side of the coast mountains are greatly elated, aad well thsy may b3, over the prospects of " ' better times " in the near future. Im provements, of various kinds, are being in augurated ; lands are being cleared, fences built, house ; repaired. Lands are enhancing in value, and everything seems to betoken the " good time coming." The late survey of the harbor gives new life and energy to every settler, aed those who have been hold ing on to their improvements almost in de spair; and seeminfng to hope against hope, are now jubilant. The darkest hour has passed, and a brighter day is already dawn ing for the Yaquinaites and no people in the world more justly deserve it. With the opening of spring, the tide of immigration will set baywards, and thou sands of acres of land, now considered al most worthless, will be found to be very val uable. How can it be other wis when it is positively demonstrated, by official survey, that we have one of the best, if not the Best, natural harbors between San Francisco and Paget Sound ? Let congress make a suitable appropriation for the improvement of this harbor, this winter, as it surely will, and the railroad to Yaquina is secured, be yond all peradventure, in the near future. Benton county is now entering upon an era of prosperity, little dreamed of by the old "moss-backs," as some of the old fossils are derisively termed. But this class of citi zens are few in number, and hard to find now, in old Benton, and we are proud of it. By next spring the last one will be buried out of sight, and our citizens will be a unit for railroads and progress. " So mote it be." But, enough of this, for the present. We will close by saying that we started for home Friday morning, by steam launch to Pioneer. By horse to Trapp's, same even ing. To Charlie Logsden's next day, and home Sunday morning, accompadied by Hon. R. A. Bensell, who was en route to Salem and Oregon City on business. We arrived home in good state of preservation, having stood the trip remarkably well. The river reached its highest point last Saturday night, at this city over 20 feet &bove low water mark. The highest point fetched for about three years. The best cigars are kept by E. Rosenthal. A large variety of holiday presents for saie oy tr. r. urettoz. 3ww For yonr jewelry and holiday presents, call at W. C. Crawford's. For fine French candies, you must go to Ji. itosentnal s. County School Superintendent's conven tion will meet in Portland Dec. 31st. Unique New Year calling cards at this omce htteen varieties of the latest style. Latest styles of solid silver and plated ware, just received by W. C. Crawford. G. W. Quivey, of the River Side, has re cently been electod City Recorder of Inde pendence. If yon want to buy reliable time-keepers, cheap, either for your house or pocket, go to V. V. GreSTfc. 3w Capt. J. W. Kelly has been dismissed from the Portland police force, and Charles Critzmacher appointed in hi3 place. Peter Meads proposes to give a grand ball at his residence, in King's Valley, on the night of the 25th inst. And don't you forget it, Rosenthal's is the place to find the finest, largest, and cheapest stock of holiday presents in Cor. vallia. Dr. F. A. Vincent accompanied our young friend, Zeph. Job, on his wedding trip. The roads, over in the forks of the Sautiam, are awful. Take a peep into Carlile's and see the Christinas fixin's, and you won't fail to buy, for he sells lower than any body else. Rev. Mr. Condit, of Albany, will fill the pulpit in the Presbyterian church of this city next Sabbath, morning and evening. Rev. Mr. Dunning exchanges pulpits with him. The most suitable Christmas present is a first class Photograph, which can be had, up to life size, at the Corvaliis Gallery. Gall and see specimens. Pupils taken on reason able terms. The " valuable horse " mentioned in last week's issue as having been missing from his stable, has turned up. He was found behind an empty bran box, chewing a plac ard bearing the inscription, " Oats for sail." The jury in the case of Bernard and Fair- child, indicted for the murder of Mrs. Ha- gar, near Oregon City, last summer, failed to agree and were discharged, lhey were out twenty-three hours. This trial has cost (.dackamas county large sums or money, and is quite unsatisfactory. The Oregonian of the 9th inst. again an nounces that the citizens of Corvaliis may expect a ride on the West Side railroul about Christmas, as the iron has been taken to the front. That's just what we most de sire. Our citizens would like to have the pleasure of making our New Year call on the metropolis by rail. TO THE TEACHERS OF LINN AND BENTON COUNTIE3. A Teachers' Institute has been appointed to meet in Qoryallis, at 9 o'clock A. M., Monday, Dec. 22, 1879, and to continue two days and a half. All teadfcers of the pub lic schools of these two counties are cor dially invited to be present to participate in its work and and share its benefits. A good programme has been arranged and and competent instructors secured. Let every person who expects to either make or maintain a reputation as a live, energetic, progressive teacher, and who is within rea sonable distance of this Institute, be present and ai.l in miking it the very best pos sible. Let no trivial excuse prevent your comiug. It is to bo hiped that boards of directors will help in this work, at least so far as to allow teache.s to adjourn their schools long enough to attend the Institute, without requiring them to make up the ne cessary time so spent. Prof. E. B. MeElroy, the eminently able and efficient county siiDarinteudeut, of Ben ton county, is earnestly working to make the gathering one of great profit to those who may attend. Not teachers alone, but all persons who may feel interested in mak ing our schools more efficient, are respect fully invited to atteud and participate in the work. Persons paying full fare on the railroad in going to the Institute, will be returned free. L. J. Powell, Supt. Pub. Ins. Salem, Or., Dec. 3d, 1879. COUGH MEDICINE. Mrs. J. W. Cook, of this city, is manu facturing a superior medicine for coughs and colds, which we have used with great satis faction, in our family. One of the principal ingredients is the Mountain Balm, which is a universal favorite for lung complaints. The following testimonial has been handed us for publication, and we have no doubt scores might be added : I have used Mrs. Cook's remedy for coughs and colds, and can truly say, that it is the best I ever used. I can recommend it as a positive cure for coughs and pulmon ary afflictions. W. H. Goldson. That Ear-Trumpet. One of our En glish friends writes us : " We are indeed sory to see that a certain County Blade has so much difficulty in finding news to please its readers that they are forced to invent such an absurd story as that which appeared in their last week's issue relative to a cer tain gentleman whose misfortune obliges the use. of an ear-trumpet. We failed to see the wit, and as we attribute tue remarks that were made to ignoiance, we would strongly advise the gentleman who inserted them to remember that ' where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise. " Skating. The attendance at the skating rink last Saturday evening was good, and everybody seemed to enjoy the sport. The rink will be open every Saturday evening, and on the 27th inst. the managers, Messrs. Gardinier & Crim, will give a grand masquer ade carnival, with suitable prizes for the best sustained characters, and the best and poorest skaters. The programme will be diversified with sack and potato races. Ad. next week. Pacific Monthly. An official Gazette and travelers' guide to Oregon and Wash ington, am just lcen established in Port land, by D. H. Stearns. The initiai num ber, for October, has been laid upon our table by H. M. Clinton, editor, who has been in the city canvassing, during the week. This magazine will meet a want long felt in this State. We are glad to make the acquaintance of Mr. Clinton, and can heartily commend the work to our readers.' Success to the enterprise. Pleasant Party. We are informed, by those present, that one of the most pleasant social gatherings of the season, was that given by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pygall, on last Monday evening on the occasion of Mrs. Pygall's birth day anniversary. After a pleasant social hop, and an excellent sup per, the happy throng dispersed all well pleased with the kind hospitality shown. Burglars Around. It would be well for our citizens to get their shot guns in good order, and keep a sharp lookout for night -prowlers. Several wood piles have been robbed, and on last Monday night, during the temporary absence of the family, the residence of Mrs. S. H. Thompson was en tered and a sum of money, belonging to Mrs; Libbie Biddle, stolen, also some ac count books belonging to Mrs. Thompson, destroyed. " Grand Raffles.

DIE) TO. At Bartlett Springs. Lake county, Cal., Nov. 16, 1869, Edward N. Sawtell. The DeStli-rcic or Our country is getting to be fearfully alarm ing, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most insignifi cant origin. At this season of the year es pecially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thousands lose their lives in this way every winter, while had Boschee' eGertoan Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a Doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Boschee't German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medicine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known. Forewarned Foreamcd. Physicians and invalids use with confi dence The Kaiser Celebrated German Elixir for Consumption and throat and lung dis eases.

This would have proved an Angel of mercy in the household of those unhappy parents at Vallejo, Dixon, Beaver, Utah, and nu merous other places, whose children were slaughtered by a quack medicine recom mended by its owner to cure croup, posses' sing no properties calculated to cure it, but instead a deadly drug which has slain its thousands.
