Situ democrat. FRIDAY.. M AIICH 14. lo73. OUIl LETTIilMiOX ABOCT COLCMBXA CITY. Tangent, March 8, IS73. Editor Democrat : I eee by the last Willamette Ihrmcr that other parties are Interested in the farmers' move that Columbia City offers favorable Inducements. I would recommend that If any one wants to know about that place let them go and aee for thtmselves. If committees send them they will want their expen ses paid ; let them bear their own ex penses as I did. So doubt the anchorage t Odumbla City Is ood, for I was told that at their wharf they have 14 feet of water. Sow suppose a vessel drawing 25 feet and having a cargo of 2,300 tons to be safely anchored there ; nothing but a freshet like '62 would move her. There Is only 11 feet of water at low tide at tlie .Hog's Back, about 5 miles south east of Astoria. A vessel drawing 12 feet of water can't get out of sight of Astoria coming up at low title. Six .hundred tons of wheat was put on board of the vessel "Zouave" at Asto ria before she went to sea. We would like Columbia City to form a Farmers' Club ; they will find our Constitution and by-laws in this isue of the Democrat. All the cities should form Farmers' Clubs, as in the cities is an excel lent, place to plow. I don't suppose the houses and barns would be much more in the way than stumps, and you can elevate your header a little to pass over obstruc tions. Philip Low. OCR JEFFERSON BECfLAR. Jf.fff.rsox, March 10, 1S73. Editor Democrat i As I have a few leisure moments this evening to d-vote to terrestrial afiatrs, I concluded to inform you that I had again arrived at Jefferson the land of niy birth; or, if not exactly that spot, ( j flui nlint iv h !( thnt iiiinortant a fv a 1 v f -- v - - - - - - & event iu our nation's history would have trauspired if I could only have had my own way about it ; and noth ing could give me greater pleasure than the privileg? of laying down my valuable life in defence of its sacred institutions its "gum-sucks" in par ticular. Thes:; rrrj social entertain ments are, I believe, a Jefferson spe ciality ; or, at most, they appear to be obsolete in other places, unless per haps in some remote corner of the backwoods. Tln-re is naught under the starry "canopy of heaven" that will seud the life blood of us "stove loafers" coursing through our veins with such lightning velocity as the mention of that one word " gum suck." irhatathtiU of icstatie bliss in anticipation ; what dreams of vol uptuous pleasure and delightful enjoy ment its comprehensive syllables call forth. irell, I was mistaken when I btated that the season for these rare enter tainments was over, for we have had two since then, but the first didn't "pan out" very well. The last, how- and it drew eijual to a "pitch pine plaster;" but I couldn't attend as I had no clean shirt with opt?n back to wear, and as the reports about the af fair are somewhat conflicting I will drop the subject, but will mention an other which might be termed a "socia ble," that occurred the same night in a thicket above town, wherein multi tudes of bottles of Hostetter's bitters and alcohol, together with a countless number of eggs and chickens, are re ported as having "mysteriously disap peared." This reminds us that our new druggist has fully and satisfacto rily demonstrated that the qualities of the above-mentioned beverages are equal to the finest "rot-gut ;" and that thev are nossessed of the same rowdv- Ureemng. peace-disturbing elements. ,He nas been driving a very lively trade in this peculiar branch of his business, selliog indiscriminately to old "topers" and , young ruffians, whether drunk or sober, thus defraud ing the more honest whisky dealers of other towns, and swindling our city out of the price of licenses which had just as well be grant2d to some more respectable doggery. And this "moral leper" purposes continuing this busi ness, unmindful alike of the entreaties end remonstrances of citizens and the tears and supplications of wives and m6thewr Vrho are directly interested, " because, forsooth, he is protected by the quibbles of the law (What about the higher law, brother W. ?). Yet this specimen of the scum from the lowest vaults in the regions of the damned has the Unparalleled effront ery to occupy a front seat in a building dedicated to the worship' of almighty GosJ as a follower of the meek aud lowly Jesus. The name he bears has already been immortalized through the columns of the Democrat, and we now leayf him with the nattering as surance that his putrescent carcass will never be disturbed by buzzards nor worms after dp.it.h. nor np 1 ho have any fears of ever disgracing the realms beyond the mythical river Styx, for his soul is tco small to be discernible, -even through the most powerful mi croscope in the possession of His Sa- J. s r" a. tauic ijiajesiy. n Enough for the present. Alpha. Again. We this week republish the articles of Incorporation of the Astoria and Albany Farmers' Company, so that our new subscribers can all under stand fully the objects of that corpora tion. It Is to be hoped that every far mer in the State will take an interest in the erection of a stupendous ware house; at Astoria during the present year. On:y $25 per share, and you get your money back in storage. Then what are you to lose by giving your encouragement to thi3 important en terprise ? , . Insane. A young: man who has for some time been in the employ of one of bur farmers, was yesterday adjudged Insane by the County Court, and sent ' to the Asylum. ; He was raving mad. He is said to have been in love with a young lady who recently married an other man, and disappointment at los ing her is said to have caused his In sanity. . . . - - The Centennial Celebration. A large audience greeted Hon A. J. Dufur, at the Court House, last U'ednes day evening, on the. occasion of his address upon the objects and aims of the Centennial Exposition of 1876 the one hundredth birth-day of American freedom. Under the act of Congress, providing for the appointment of Com missioners from each State to devise ways' and means for carrying out this Important event to a successful termi nation, His Excellency, Gov. Grover, appointed Mr. Dufur as the Commis sioner for Oregon, and that gentleman is now canvassing the State for the purpose of laying before our people the plans of the enterprise and soliciting their aid In Its acomplishmenr. A pro rata of funds is expected to be furnish ed by the inhabitants of each State, the share of each subscriber being placed at $10 two dollars of which is to bo paid down at the time of. sub scribing and tho balance in install ments of $2 at a time, to be levied In the shape of an assessment from time to time as the Board of Commissioners may require the money for carrying on the euterprise. Assessments are not to be made oftener than once in three months. These easy terms place the shares within the reach of tho poorest people in the land, as there Is hardly any one but what can a fiord to invest $2 per quarter, in greenbacks, for the furtherance of this olJtet. Each share holder is entitled to all the privileges of the Exposition during the time it Is being held, without additional cost, and he is also entitled to his propor tion of the net receipts of the Exposi tion. So there Is very little doubt but that he will receive his $10 back, with a liberal interest, after the enterprise Is over and its affairs settled. Mr. Dufur gave a glowing and eloquent descrip tion of the great benefits to accrue to our country from this great National Jubilee. It will, during the year 1S7C, lie the attractive feature of the whole civilized world, ami will br'ng together peoples and nations from every quar ter of the globe. Oregon, as well as all other .States of the Union and other countries of the world, is exjHK't ed to be represented there by her min eral, agricultural, mechanical and manufacturing industries all of whii h must greatly assist iu making her ad vantages known to the world and In enticing hither a useful and beneficial population from other countries. Jr. Dufur seems to have .met, thus far, with flattering success in securing subscriptions of stock. T.iere are about 2,000 shares allotted to Oregon, something near 300 of which are ex pected to be taken In Linn county. At the conclusion of Mr. Dufur's address, on Wednesday evening, an Executive Committee, consisting of I lev. Dr. Hoary, C. i IJurt;hart, Martin Payne, Jno. Harrows, ami Mart. V. Drown, were chosen by the audience to devi.-w measures for securing the amount of subscriptions expecteJ from Liun county. This Committee has appoint ed, sub-committees, consisting of two persons at each town in the county to solicit subscriptions in their respective localities. Let every body take hold of this matter, and we will give "Old Linn" the proud distinction of being the first county in the State to make up her pro rata of stock subscriptions. P'oliowing are the sub-committees : AtScio J B. Irvine. G. B. Christie; Lebanon S. 11. Claughton, C. B. Joti tauc; Brownsville J. II. Uashourn, IK R. Kirk; Jarrisburg E. 7oult, Hiram Smith ; alsey Jacob Thorn p sonr Caleb Gray; Shedd C. I Hogue. Frank fshetld. Subscription books will be furnished these sub-committees at an early day, and any other informa tion may be obtained by communicat ing with the Executive Committee in Albany. Dr. Geary and other mem bers of the Executive Committee will visit the different towns of the county in a few days and more fully explain this important enterprise. A Monopolist in Jaiu Last Sat urday forenoon a boisterous individual, with too much benzine in his stomach, was hustled into the calaboose by .Mar shal CVirtwright, and .ater In the day a notheT imbiber got "on the road to Baltimore" and was also "toted" ofl to the lock-up an I put into the same stall with the other inmate. Tins didn't suit No. 1 at all. lie said he was a gentleman and didn't want any man to intrude upon his domain unin vited. He said he was in his own cas tle and proposed to exercise an exclu sive monopoly of it until he and the City Recorder should be able to nego tiate other terms. So he "went for" the intruder with fist and foot, and knocked him down and kicked and cuffed him about until the Jarshal was attracted by the unusual noise and went in and extricated the fellow from the grasping monopolist's clutches. When he was brought out into the open air his clothes looked like he had been thrown through an Osage orange grove, and his face as though he had been food for a threshing machine dur ing a summer's run. His friends were only able to recognize him by the unu sual dimensions of his pedal extremi ties. Wnv They Couldn't Cojje. XTal sey has a Jl-thodist preacher who is slightly on the German order. He was last Sabbath preaching from the text of the parable of the mail who gave a great supper and sent his ser vants out to invite the folks iu to par take. In elaborating upon the account of the parable our Dutch divine said : "And when tem servants tey go out to invite te freints In, one he say he can't come pe'eause he pin pought some lant und must go und see it ; nudher man he don't can come for he pin pought a yoke of shteer3 und he must dry tem; und te oder veller he can't don't come to supper pecause he haf yust pin mar ried and he haf to dry 'em, doo." The gravity of that meeting was not a prominent feature for a few minutes after this eminent attempt at expound ing Holy Writ. , ; Thus they Come. We received quite a number of new subscribers af ter the adjournment of the Convention last Saturday, as also during the cur- at week.- Many of our new patrons are Republicans who patronize usr not for cur politics,- but for our defense- of the farmers' cause. Thanks, gentle Fotfin DYING. IFo aro informed that on Friday morning of last week an old gentleman named Samuel Crowley, about 81 years of age, whose home has been for several years in the Forks of the Santiam, left the house, of his grandson, Mr. John Gaines, a few miles above Solo, to go to his son-in-law's, Willis Gaines,, about a mile dis tant ; but it 'was ascertained during the day that he had not reached his destination, and the alarm being given, tho neighbors turned out and made search for the missing man. About 3 o'clock In the afternoon of that day one of the Gaines, while passing along the path which the old gentleman was supposed to have taken in going from one house to the other, heard a groan Iu the bushes hard by, and on going Into them, found the missing man re clining upon a bed of brush which ho had evidently made for himself; he was gasping for breath and was already In the last stages of dissolution. Help was summoned and the dying man was conveyed to the bouse of Willis Gaines, where he remained In an unconscious state until about 11 o'clock at night, when his lalorlng heart ceased to beat and the vital spark fled from his time scarred Imm ly. 1 Mr. Samuel Gain.;, grandwon of the deceased, informs us that the old gen tleman was In this city last' week, when, it Is ascertained that a man an swering his description purchased from Star Jealey, clerk at Settlemler'sdrug store, a 2-ox. vial of laudanum, and It is feared by his friends that tho aged veteran has, In a fit of mental abstrac tion, taken his own life by tho aid of tlds deadly sopotitto. Capt. Shields, our County Treasurer, was a son-in-law of the deceased, and tells us that he was aged 81 j'ears, 8 months and 1" days.
