C5. CORVALLIS, OR., MAY 31, 1889. THE MEMORIAL SUNDAY SERVICES." The Kindergarten. The kinder garten taught by Miss Burnham, at the southeast corner of Jefferson and Sev enth streets, gave an entertainment to the patrons and a few invited friends last Wednesday afternoon at the city hall. The exercises of these little chil dren, numbering about twenty, were in teresting and pleasing, and it is indeed remarkable to what a degree of profi ciency theyjhave attained. It is not gen erally known that Corvallis is blessed with two most excellent kindergartens, and it is safe to say that no other place in Oregon is so favored. Miss Burnham, whose school gave the ex hibition on Wed nssday, is a most ac complished lady and very thoroughly understands the kindergarten system. She was educated in the best kinder garten schools in London, England, ml Via Viflfl Were exDetience in this kind of teaching. Besides she is a lady of refinement and christian cul ture, with whom it is perfectly safe to entrust the little ones. Corvallis may have many excellent things whereof to boast, but none of more real merit than her kindergarten schools. It is to be hoped that before long the public schools here can avail themselves of this most. necessary and indispensable auxiliary to complete success. The L. O. C. Anniversary.

Notwithstanding the sultri ness of the weather some one proposed to end np the evening" with dancing and soon all were enjoying this amuse ment. Mrs. Additon read the mm utes of the club since its formation. Th officers of this club for the en suing year are: President, Mis. L. H. Additon, re-elected; vice president, Mm. R. Wilson; secretary, Mrs. M. S. Neugass, re-elected; usst secretary, Mrs. Thos. Callahan; treasurer, Mrs. Zeph Job. A Handsome Pbesent. A repre sentative of the Gazette on Monday . last was shown i very handsome thing in the shape of a book-mark, it being the property of J. R. Haddock, in the law office of F. Ml Johnson of this city. It is a "silver lerf of Table mountain," (coming from a tree of this name situated on this mountain away down in the southern regions of Africa), about one and one-half inches wide by six inches long, and upon it is delicately painted an . ocean scene with a man-of-war proudly riding the waves. It is the work of S." G. Haddock, who is second engineer on the H. M. S. Cuicocoa, laying at anchor in the harbor at Simmons Town, Cape of Good Hope, Africa, and was sent in a letter to his brother here bearing date of April 16th. It is needless to say that J. R. prizes this present very highly. Bead Closer. "In the last issue of the Corvallis Gazette the editor of that paper remarks that Corvallis will send the fastest hose team in the state to Albany to win first prize the coming 4th. The Albany firemen are now drilling for that event and will give the visiting firemen a friendly contest." Albany Herald, May 29th. You are mistaken. What was said last week in the Gazette is here repeated: 'There can be twelve or fourteen fire boys picked up here to organize a hose team that would, with a little piactice, beat any other team in the state, and they might just as well win some of Albany's money as to let it go by." Now, the question is: Will they or ganize! - Finger Cut. Mr. Godfrey, who works for G. W. Smith in his meat market, had the misfortune to have the third finger on his left hand nearly cut off on Wednesday forenoon while using a cleaver in cutting a nb-bone. He struck the bone a glancing lick which caused the accident. To the Public!

The memorial Sunday exercises at the Congregational church last Sunday were very excellent The pulpit was nicely decorated with flowers and bunting, and the choir furnished some choice music. The sermon by Rev. Rogers was ot a very interesting nature, and will be long remembered by the large congregation present. No doubt there are a large number who were not able to attend the services,and the sermon is here given: present and future warfare. v shall tudire among muny p-jople. and re buke stromf nation alar off; aurt they shall beat their worua mio piuwiiw ucn bikmms him nruniDir noons; naiion . p wi Kn nation, neitb Khali they learn war any mon." Micah,4:3. . We meet here this morning to pay a reli"ious tribute to the memory ef the men who uave their uvea lor tne lite ot tneir country and ours, as well as those who sur vived the war, ana iier iunowing lor a time the peat-able persuits. of citizenship have laid down in death, many of them going to an untimely grave as the result of disease ntit.racted or vitality joss wuue in men as ever lived nave oeneveu war was right and divinely appointed, equally as good men have been non-comlatauts and could not believe that war was com pat able with Christianity. God must sometimes permit that wbieli he would out permit under a better intelligence, 'for since Christ's time, and possibly during all time, war has seemed to be the forerunner ot civilization. An unbeliever in Christianity said to me, "In the last thousand years the church has been the cause of every war in the so-called Christian lauds." If I can put the word innocent before cause I accept the state ment as true. ' We believe in maintaining a righteous cause. To surrender a right principle is to abandon society to evil, and human life would soou loose its sacredness. Evil often becomes aggressive, and Chris tians must defend tbe right, and because thev cannot stand aside they become what is claimed to be the cause of a war. Our fathers became revolutionists be cause of oppression borne until forbearance ceased to be a virtue. In defense of a righteous cause they became the victors. I admit that the Revolutionary war w is pos sible because clergymen sustained it and aided in keeping public opinion iu its favor. The war of the rebellion had in it a vital principle. Upon the part of the North it was the maintamance of the national au thority and through the nation the protec tion of our homes. At the south it was tor the perpetuation of slavery and the protec tion of their homes from what they consid ered ii.vasinn. It cost this nation $100,000,000 and the lives of one million men to learn the lesson the pruning hook rather than the musket aud the sword. It remains tor ns to sweii the ranks of that growing army, whose commanding general is the King of all the earth, and upon who.e banner ra inscrilied, "Righteousness, Peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." When that annv becomes strong the people will learn war no more. Whitti.er belonged to this army when he wrote, "Hate hath no harm for lave.

F. Starkey, will interest many of our readers: COSVAJ.US, Or., 'May C, 188. My Dear Starkey As I promised, some six weeks ago, to write and tell you how I found Oregon, IfeelnoWas if I could give a few fivcts. We left Boston, March 22.1, on the excur sion over the Canadian Pacific railroad in charge of Conductor Spaulding, who ac companied us through to Tacoma, W. T.t aud our trip was pleasant from first to last. Mr. Spaulding did all iu his power to make the party comfort ible, and I advise any one coming to Oregon to join one of these ex cursions. The scenery ii fine along the road. We spent a few days in Portland, theu took the river bo it for Corvallis. The trip along the Willamette river was grand, showing the line farms with e-rain iron, bia m eiu teen inches high, and fine fruit orchards all along the river bauk. Everything seems to flourish here. We arrived at Corvallis, April 2, and f.m nil a bean tiful town of 2000 inhabitants ;t.iat.Hil on the banks of the Willamette river. The streets are laid out with beauti fill inaule trees for shade and most every .rar.l ,' filled with roses and all kinds of (Inurttra now ill bloom. We soou bought us a lot and house and went to housekeeping. We cannot say too much in favor of the people we have had the pleasure of meeting here. We have attended , several socials and found every one glad to welcome stranger. I have visited the country with in twenty miles from Corvallis and. I have not seeu one acre of land but what was of the very best, and a prettier sight could not he seen than to stand on the hill back of the town aud look upon the many thou ,k of acres of wheat, aud also tire fine orchards all over the valley. The apples, .lierri.a. urunes. nlums and pears are in ahuudnnce here and do finely; the currant. gooaeherry, blackberry, raspberry and stri.wberriesalso grow everywhere. The hills are now carpeted with wild strawberries, and wild flowers perfume the air for miles around. In fact I conld not do this country justice. I. can only say, after livine iu beautiful California most twenty that if I hail known what a fine country Oregon was I should have been here long ago, as it is far ahead of Califor nia. You way say to your friends that there is yet good government hind to be had within 50 miles of this town and from one to twenty miles from the railroad. bis towu is growing aud lots of new build ings can be seen going up. A new court ouse has just been completed, costing $bu,- 000, and it Io ncs as if the town was to nave boom during the corning summer and fall There are three papers published in town. the Leader, the Times, and the Corvallis Gazette which is the leading paper1, its columns being very newsy. Yn wanted me to write about game. Well, the hills are full of deer and bear, but have not lost any bear so I am not looking for any. The blue grouse and partridge ire abundant here, the China pheasant are also plentiful, and the farmers complain of the amount of graiu they take away; geese, luck, snipe and all kinds of water fowl are plenty; in fact, this is the hoow of game. There is room here for a thousand good people. With five acres of fruit a man can m ike a better living than he can on any farm iu New England. Liviug is low; some things are a litile higher than in the east. Fresh eggs are I2 cents a dozen, butter 25 cents a pound, potatoes 25 cents bushel, sirloin steak 12V a pound, lamb ten cents pound, vegetables of all kinds are cheap. flour $4 per barrel, $1 per sack of 50 lbs.
