The Democrats held a convention for tlie ooinliwtion ol candidates for city offi cers, on Ft iilay night last. The boys had lot of Am hallot-boxtufflng until John H icklcmaii interfered by a mo tion, Vhleh was adopted, that all per iods voting tor candidates in tlie con vention, register their names when Offering their lallof. The convention was largely attended, and more Inter est manifested than usual In city nom inations. TV following gentlemen were placed in nomination : For May or, M. V. Ilrown : Recorder, J. K. Derrcn ; Marshal. T. P. McKnight ; Treasurer, P. C. Harper ; Councllmen, Andrew Cowan, Julius Gradwohl, John Parker. C. C. Kuhn, Frank Par Ion, Vincent Circles. An Explosion. One of Mr. Walt. Ketcluun's little boys traded with an other slmer for a gun-barrel, or a hol low iron tube resembling a gun-barrel, the other day, and finding said tube to be full of nails and other articles which 4efled all attempts at removal, be con cluded to expand the thing by heating It In the fire-place in the parlor, (Milk ing to loosen them so that they could be the more readily removed. The loosening process was most effectual, far outstripping the most sanguine ex pectations of young Ketchum, surpris ing him as well as the balance of (lie family with tlie ease and suddenness with which a gun-barrel can be emp tied of all its stuffing. Our young friend was not aware of tlie fact tit:; t flie iron tulie contained a heavy charge of powder, packed In with nails, paper, tc., else he would have thought twite Ore he tried the heating process. In blissful ignorance of the above fad, he placed the aforesaid tube In tie Ire, and patiently awaited tlie result. Pqoii unexpected results were ob Ijlned. The beat exploded the A0xhr, splitting the barrel and tin ow ing almost every partiile.ot the before Obci-tful-lookiiig and crackling fire rora the fire-place, and spreading it promiscuously all around and over the . parlor, upon tlie carpet and on (lie ' persons of the Members of the family, frMtiugt'onsternatifi) and confusion, tnd a general stampede. The loud explo-lon startled the neighbors, and fQOii the dwelling was besieged by " anxious inquirers. A daughter was i llightly burned by the Hying coals, and the carpet was pretty well perforated With holes otlierwise the damage was Ught. prrr Election. The city election fn Monday resulted as follows: For Mayor. M. V. Brown ; Recorder, J, Jt. Herren; Marshal, T. P. McKulght; treasurer, James B. Titus all gcntlc- Oicn of the Democratic persuasion, ave and except the Treasurer, who is t bedrock Republican. Of the Coui; Ilmen eleet, Messrs. J. F. Backensw And D. Froman were Republican nom inees, while Messrs. A Cowan, John Parker, C. C. Kuhn and V. Circle were placed in nomination by the Democracy. Wo congratulate the Above named gentlemen upon their faccess, and believing them honest nd capable, we hopo the interest of the city ami geucral welfare ot its peo ple may so prosper In their liands, that When tlioir term ol office expires, tliey iay receive the plaudits of a grateful tnd appreciative constituency. Can may wore? Encouraging to Boatmen. We have met tlie enemy and "scrouged" 'em some! People of retentive memo ries will buck us up in the statement that an election tor city officers was held in this city on Monday. They will also agree with us hi tlie further statement that two tickets, one repre senting the Republican party and the other the Democratic, were presented to this people ami their suffrages asked. The result of that election Is liefore us. But seven of those ten de voted Democrats were elected, although all the "arguments" and "persuading" known to Democratic strategy were brought to bear the sick and the lame, the halt and the blind were made to do duty, to elect tlie whole expectant ten. Seven noble Demo crats, men who arc. always willing to hold "offls," escaped the salt river triii, while three were doomed to cut no "flgger" in Council an honor which Is reached by few In this vain world of sorrow. However, we feel that their loss is our eternal gain ; and we hope these light a Mictions, visited upon tliem here below for a good purpose. witlMiit a doubtless, may in duce them to turn trom tlie error ot their ways, and no more follow after a strange and Godless party that uses them as prfppets hoisting them with one string and pulling them down with the other. As to the three Re publicans who are to he burdened with the cares ot office for the next twelve month, we offer them our sincere and most copious"' wishes for their ulti mate salvation alter .-ucli an infliction ! Able Counsel. In tlie proceedings liFiinst the State Board of Equalisa tion, heard at Corvallis last week, the parties instituting the proceedings re tained Hons. Ceo. R. Helm, ot this city, ami II. W. K. Clarke, of San Francisco, as counsel, and to the able manner which they presented the case are the ieople indebted for the decision rendered by Judge Mosher. If the case is carried up to tlie Supreme Court, as promised, a few days more will settle the legality or illegality of the action of tlie Stale Board of Equal ization, so far as the State Courts are concerned, at least. The Supreme Court meets at Suleni next week. Quiet. Although several wordy combats were indulged in on Monday, no blood-letting, we are pleased to say, was indulged in, so far as we have heard. There was an unlimited amount of "scratching" indulged in by our tree and independent voters, but no gouging. For Indiana. Rev. Mr. Oakes, lute pastor of tlie Evangelical Church of this city, preached his farewell ser mon on Sunday, at tlie Opera House. lie proposes to remove to his old home in Indiana, probably starting the lat ter art of tlie week. First Boat. The first boat to put in an appearance at this point this Winter, was the Governor Grover. She came up on Sunday night and went down on Monday, loaded with wheat Irom tho Farmers' Warehouse. The City Election On Monday, was hotly contested, and "scratching" was indulged in freely. There was more interest manifested in tlie result than usual. Personal. W. B. Carter. Esq., of the Corvallis Gazette, was in good spirits when he called yesterday. A.

A medicine that has done more than all the prescriptions of the phannaeopada to protect ine nunuui system nKnuiai. " bodily Ills superinduced by unhealthy snr ronndliiKS, iscertainly worthy of universal confidence. It is mainly on account of Us extraordinary- preventive properties that llostctter's Stomach Bitters is so es eeedlngly popular in localities subject to tho visitation of miasmatic fevers and other diseases produced by empoisoned air. A fiunily that has escaped slckmss during a sickly season In consequence of using the Hitters as a safeguard, is a living advertisement of the virtues of the pre mni'loii. Tho whole neighborhood real ize tho tact. " I couldn't licllevo it," says one. '1 scarcely creuiieu ine auvorusu- inentl; but one must oeneve wnai one sees," says another. " It Is tho very tiling we nei'i I in this unwholeome section of conntrv." remarks a third. And the re sult is that the instinct of self defence, tlie first law of nature, Induces three-fonrtlis of thatcoinumnlty to obtain a supply of tho great vegetable antidoto bofotv the next slcklv season sets in. In tho winter, when tho system requires extra vigor and elasticity to enable if to liaftle the olrocts of dampandoold. the Bitters will be found par ticularly serviceable. Rheumatism will not be apt to fasten npon muscles a id nerves that have been braced up by this excellent invlgorant and nervine; nor will the severities of the season, which have such a disastrous effect on l he pulmo nary organs of the feeble and delicate, le likely to exercise tho some untoward Inlln ences in cases where the stomach and the external snrfauo of the body (which always sympatbtiK wWo the digestive organs) have been tonod and stimulated by awrnrse of t he restorat Ive. The Ills of indigestion and Irregnlarlticfcof tho bowels which pro ceed from sudden changes of weather may always be averted by a timely use of tho Bitter. NEW TRIUMPHS! Mil OF LAST YEAH.
