the night of the 11th, near the month of
tlie Connecticut river, the latter vessel tak
ing fire and sinking. There were between
500 and 600 passenger on the lost vessel,
;be majority ot whom were rescued. The

ituselves. Both vessels belonged to the
me line.- The lost vessel was valued at
00,000. .

Public Kcbool rtawle la July.
A grand picnic is to be held at Roberts'
bridge camp ground on the 10th and 11th
(Saturday and Sunday) of July next, for
the special benefit of the public schools in
this county. We have some good teachers
In old Linn, and it l expected that they
will give to the' - public on the occasion
specimens of their quality through the
children . Recitations declamations etc..
will be the order of tbe day, while Dr.
Watts of Oregon City, has promised to be
present and give several lectures on sub
jects ot interest to the general public as
well as to the farming community. A
large gathering may be expected on ' the
occasion, and the attempt of those havii g
the matter In charge will be made to make
tlie time spent profitable ard pleasant to
all. ' -
During the past eleven months tbe pub
lic debt of the country has been reduced.
In round figures,' to the extent ot about
$75,000,000. This is extraordinary, and
Indicates a decided revival of trade,
Italy expects to have another political
crisis soon, but lias got so used to things
of that sort lately that the surface ot pub,
Jic aIrs soarcciy shows a ttyple.
Every succeeding day shows the great
necessity for a bridge across the Willam
ette at this city, and every day that goes'
by without it is a loss to the : trade and
Importance of our city. Something mast
be done soon or we will be left out in ttte
cold. Lines of railway are . stretching
their arms out all arobnd 'us, and soon we
will be bottled up, as it were ; we will see
the trade that formerly fed and bnilt up
our city, going right by our doors to build
up some ether community. It is not well
enough to say Albany is all . right, you
can't get the trade away Irom her, because
such an assertion is untrue. Our merchants
have already felt tlie effects of the Corvallis
line on the opposite Ride of the river, and
ca-i beglu to take in tlw effect ol the com
pletion of a cheap road, such as the narrow
gauge will be, fromCrawfordsville through
Brownsville, Lebanon and Scio on . to
Portland, on the trade of this city. The
bulk ot the grain and produce ot this
comity will find some other market than
ours and the stagnation at present felt in
business circles will he as nothing to what
we will then see if we do not bestir our
selves to meet the emergency before It is
too late. If railroads are to be built, we
shouli make it to their interest to center
here, if possible and nothing is impossible
with an active, liberal, enterprising peo
ple. If we sit down and wait for the
"good limes" to come to us, failing to
offer any inducements, to enterprises that
require the outlay of capital and the use
of brains we shall , be wofully left.
"Eternal vigilance is the price" of advance
ment and prosperity, as well as '"liberty."
If we continue to hum and haw and hold
back, taking a firmer grip ou our purse
strings when any enterprise is offered
calculated to build up our city, simply be
cause such enterprise will draw tbe coin
from our pockets and may not return for
a time the regular one per cent., we will
soon be left so far behind in tbe race for
wealth and power that all our little lioa ril
ed coin will be of no avail whatever in
the most earnest attempts to catch up.
If we wish to maintain the place we now
bold as a commercial center, we must act ;
we must liberally aid every iuterprise of
utility. Eveiy avenue leading to this city
as a common center must be improved,
and these matters must be attended to
now t -morrow may be too late. Bridge
the Willamette and railroads will come ;
and populatiou will soon follow and make
the rich soil opposite this city blossom like
the rose and this will be their market.
Our county will fill up, and other roads
perhaps not railroads but plank roads,
macadam roads to accommodate the firm
er, avenues of trade, commerce, that can
be used Winter and Summer, leading out,
like arteries into the country wherever
demanded, will be built.
Once fully awakened, our citizens will
advance with the demands of the times.
Let tis shake off this supiucness this
lethargy, which is betogglng our minds
and dimming our visions, and then we
will realize that we have much to do to
hold onr own with tbe moving world
around us.

Oregon Genu : Having noticed an ad
vertisement gotten up by the firm of D.
M. Osborne & Co., wherein they agree to
furnish their old and new customers with
a twine binder attachment, at a cost not
exceeding twenty dollars, next year, we
would say tliat the whole thing is gotten
up as an advertising dodge to sell their
harvesters and binders which they have
not been able to do with great success.
We, as agents of the well known Walter
A. Woods machine, do not care to hnmbug
the farmers by agreeing to furnish a twine
binder at a cost not to exceed the small
sum of twenty dollars" or at any price,
but will agree to furnish one as cheap as
any first-class binder can be furnished.
The Walter A. Woods Mowing and Reap
ing Machine Company are now In the
field with a successful twine binder, and
have been for the past two years but the
demand has been so great in tlie eastern
states that none could be obtained for the
Pacific coast trade. - Tbe D. M. Osborne &
Co. twine binder attachment, as they call
it. is an experiment of only a few days.
Farmers do not be humbugged Into buy
ing an Osborne harvester and wire binder,
on a promise that yon shall receive a twine
binder attachment another yrar, so that
you can use either wire or twine. Buy
old and reliable machines that have always
been in the front ranks in the way of lm
provemenrs and whose manufacturers
rwlil furnish all lata improve meuts at the
lowest uiHi'Kec price. no

, The Dear Hear Ui rough tbe Teetb.
An editorial in the Western Christian
Advocate of January 21. 1880, has this to
say of the Dent a phone :
We receive many inquiries from our
readers in regard to the Dentaphone, a
new invention, extensively advertised, as
enabling the deaf to hear thrcugh their
teeth. After a thorough Investigation, for
which ample facilities were afforded ns
we have come to the conclusion that tlie
Dentaphone is a most valuable Invention
and, in fact, does what is claimed for It.
in enabling tlie deaf and partially deaf to
hear sounds and conversations otherwise
beyond their range. The priuciple on
which the Dentaphone is constructed is
that a receiving diaphragm or plate which
Is susceptible to the sound vibrations that
constitute spoken language, is made to re
ceive and communicate these vibrations to
the teeth of the persons using it ; and thin
they are conveyed through the bone3 of
the head to the auditory nerves and se en
abl the person to hear without- difficulty.
Several of our citizens who have been deaf
for years are using the Dentaphone with
most satisfactory results. Ite v. D. J
Starr, pastor of the York Street
Methodise Episcopal Church, of this
city, visited the office of the company a
few days ago, for the purpose of testing
the Dentaphone In the case of his wife's
mother, whose hearing is quite deleotive.
The result was remarkably cotirUicing.
the lady being enabled to iiear distinctly
everything said in the room In an ordi
nary ton- of voice. Indeed, so much was
her hearing Improved that Mrs. Starr re
marked that a stranger who did not know
the nse of the Dentaphone would not sus
pect her of betngdenl.
The Dentaphone has been tested in the
National Deaf Mute College at Washing
ton City, and we have seen a private let
ter from one of the professors of that in
stitution vhich speaks in the highest terms
of the invention as a means ot teaching
the deaf and dumb to hear.
The question is often asked, it
the Dentaphone can be used witb artificial
teeth. As tlie sounds are not conveyed
by the nerves of tlie teeth, but are trans
miftl, through the bony framework of
the heatl; artificial teeth, when properly
placed, conduct the-sounds just as well as
the uatnrnl teeth. When not in nse, the
Dentaphone can easily be can led in the
pocket. Believing that our readers would
like to know more about this valuable in
vention, for their accommodation, arrange
ments have been' made whereby the Den
taphone Company's free pamphlet, giving
description and prices of the instrument,
will be furnished to all who write for it to
the "Advertising Department of the Meth
odist Book Concern," 191 West Fourth
Street. Cincinnati. O. "
. The Western Christian Advocate Is the
principal organ of the - Methodist Church
west of New York and is published by
the Methodist : Book Concern. Its high
standing is well known, and Its editorial
endorsement ot tho Dentaphone as given
above is of Tself alone sufficient evidence
that this remarkable invention does all that
U claim d tor it

Mr. I. C. Dickey has purchased a half
Interest with Jason Wheeler in the livery

good traveling turnouts, at fair rates.

Last night Rebekah Lodge No. 9 met
as usual.
Large quantities of wool is still arriving
for the woolen mills, aud they are
now running day aud night to try and
make up for so much lost time.
Last Thursday night there was such a
firing of anvils as never was before, mak
ing the hills fairly tremble, and our Demo
cratic friends tremble also, for the result
was so different from what they had ex
pected that it gets away with them com
pletely, and-they liave nothing' to say.
The result of the Chicago convention was
received here also last, week, and. while
Garfield is a good man and satisfactory to
the Republicans here, nis nomination was
not received with that enthusiasm that
Mr. Blaine's would have been ; but upon
tbe whole the ticket givps strong hopes lor
success this fall. Already there seems
to be an uneasiness in tlte minds of lead
ing Democrats here in regard to the presi
dential campaign, which makes itself seen
plainly since this State and county has
gone so badly against them, while the Re
publicans on the other hand view things
in a very cheerful light, and are "eager,
for the fray."
The Democrats still claim nine out of
seventeen in this county, but in all proba
bility it will finally come out like Mr.
THden's figures in the electoral committee
Instead 01 the eight he got the seven
so instead of their nine in this county, the
shoe will be on the other foot, and they
will get the eight aud we the nine, and
the average Democrat will say as usual
"its a regular thieving trick, again, of
those Black Republicans."
Owing to election matters nothing has
been done towards our railroaod yet. and
last night a rumor reached here that the
O. C. Company hail sold out to the

A cliess duel Is' how being longht Its
London between Zukertort and Rosenthal,
the best chess players In Enrope. "The
former won the prize medal at the Parts ex
hibition, while the latter came out a good
second. The contest takes pUce three
times a week at the St. George Club, and
attracts a large mi mber of experts in the
game. The French are backing Rosenthal ,
and the Eng'ih and Germans put their
money on Zukertort. Tho match m In
seven games and promises to be prolonged
as the specia 1 skill of Zukertort lies in sav
ing himself from defeat by converting a
losing game Into a draw.

malcontent seldom needs to be reasoned
witli iu this manner more titan once.
