The Gi.eb Cmjb Entehtainmhnt. The
performance at Briggs' Hall, on Thursday
evening last, was witnessed by a fair audi
ence. Of the affair we can only say that
each one tried to play his part ; but, owing
to the Aeacjf character i tne pieces pre
sented, the failure of persons to know
their part, and the fact of this being the
. first appearance of many ot the actors, the
tragical part of the performance was not
what." under different circumstances, "it
misrlit have been." The music by Miss
Brunrs and Messrs. Dohse and Dr. Biddle,
was excellent, and the songs by the mem
bers of the Club were flnely rendered.
Library Association. The following
otfrrteil gentlemen have Incorporated them
selves into a Library Association, in this
city : J. B. Bayley, Emery Allen, J. H.
Babcoek, John Burnett, J. S. Palmer, W.
T. Johnson, B. W. Wilson, M. Jacobs
and D.- K.- Nesbit. The capital stock has
been fixed at $5,000, divided into one hun
dred shares. Stock books will be opened
in a few days. This is a praiseworthy un
dertaking, and we hope to see it attended
with complete success. , .i
Thk WkAthkb. We have had "Dolly
Varden'? weather during the past week.
On Monday we were treated to a genuine
Webfoot ram, lasting all day and night.
Tuesday and Wednesday were quite fair ;
but on the latter evening- "'d Jupiter Fla

throughout the city almost to the brim,
and 'Causing a rise of some twelve feet in
the river. .
On a Time A number of gentlemen oj
this city went down to Albany, last Satur
day, on a ran. In returning, a buggy was
broken, another upset, and the mischief
played generally. As the gentlemen are
all Good Templars, and positively assert
that they got no grapes on the road, these
accidents' aw unaccountable. !

Christmas ' Day dawned on Corvallis
bright and smiling as a September morn
ing. Birds carolled in the balmy air; i
gentle breeze drifted the broken clouds in
to snowy banks; ever and anon the glorl-
sun snown turougn tne riit3 witn an
autumnal splendor, ana nature wore an
expression of joy p.iid gladness at the re

CATHOLIC CHURCH
Three masses were celebrated, by FathejJJ
Gibenv at six,; seven ana nan-past ten
o'clock in the forenoon. The Church was"
not decorated with evergreens,' but a nunv
ber of fresh and beautiful bouquets adorn
ed the altar, a new carpet covered the-:
sanctuary, new news had been placed in
the auditorium, and the whole interior of
the building clothed in a spotless garb of
snow-white paint. At the
CHAPEI. OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN
Services were held at half-past ten o'clock,
by Kev. J. H. Babcoek. The Chapel had
been very tastefully decorated. From the
ceiliiiffsdrooned elaborate festoons of ever
greens, aud the columns were entwined
with cedar and lir sprays. Over the altar
were the characters "Alpha and Omega,"
between which were wrought, in letters of
purple and gold, tne worus rne Aiignty
God." Under this appeared an evergreen
cross, sprinkled, witu everlastings, witn
the initials "I.'H. S." inscribed below
it. : A haudsome altar cloth, appropriately
embellished, covered the altar. Upon the
left wall, the words "The WOnderiul,"
" The Everlasting Father," aud upon the
right, "The Counselor, "The Prince of
.Teace," were neatly inscrmea in capitals
of everereeu. Upon the ea3t end of the
Chapel appeared the "Star," and, in let
ters of purnle, tne words . unto, us a
Child is Born f " Unto us a Son is Given, "
formed into semi-circles, upon either side
of the entrance, beneath which were hung
neavy wreaths or evergreen. " 'ne chan
deliers were trimmed with the delicate
myrtle vine. The whole presenting: an
appearance at once pleasing to the sense,
and truly emblematic of the birth of the
God of Love the Father Everlasting.
Services were held at ten o'clock, at the
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
By Rev. D. K. Nesbit. The church had
not been decorated, but in tne alter noon a
CHRISTMAS TREE : '
Was erected. ' At G:30 p. m., the church
was crowded to Its utmost capacity, by
both young and old, to witness the distri
bution of the gifts. The tree was smaller
than usual, neither lighted nor ornament
ed, but bore a goodly array of beautiful
and valuable presents. The exercises were
opened with prayer by Kev.-J. Emery,
alter which the heart of nearly everyone
present was made giaa oy a gut or some
kind. A number or .: "
PRIVATE CHRITSMAS TREES
Were erected in the city on Christmas
Eve. The residences of Harry Johnson,
W. H. McFarland, Dr. Bayley and B. W.
Wilson were thus adorned, and at each
a very pleasant evening was spent. .- In
tne evening, a penorniauce was given oy

. CORVALI.IS MINSTRELS,
A company of amateurs, and largely at
tended. Of this exhibition we can truly
say that a more entertaining, mirth-provoking,
and amusing performance has
never been given by any troupe before in
this city. The youngkgentleuoeu' engaged
in the matter labored to please, and the
frequent rounds of applause with which
they were greeted by a crowded house is
proof of how well they succeeded. We
are glad to learn that a similar perform
ance, with an entire change of programme,
Is promised us on the 22d of February.
These - entertainments are devoid of all
profanity and vulgarity, and furnish a
source of harmless amusement. After the
minstrel performance, the hall was cleared
for a " " '
To those ySfWhich was attended by about forty couple,
who mingled In the mazy dance until
"broody iaylight in the morulng." An
EXCELLENT SUPPER
Was served at the City Hotel, by that
popular and obliging landlord, A. K. Mc
Connell, - Esq. -The ball was one of -the
most pleasant affairs ever had In this city,
and the festivities of the evening were
marked throughout by general good feel
ing and unalloyed pleasure. Thus passed
Christmas, 1872 a season of enjoyment,
both religious and secular, not soon to be
forgotten by our citizens. ' -. -
The Amateur Performance has been
postponed until Friday evening.- A most
agreeable entertainment is promised by the
Company on that occasion. "Ten Nights
in a Barroom'' is on the bills, and will, no
doubt, be well performed ' After the per
formance, an opportunity will be given for
Terpsichorean enjoyment. ,., ,
The Flood. The recent storms have so
swollen small streams throughout this sec
tion that many portions of the - valley are
overflowed. Many land-slides occurred on
the railroad, and several culverts were
wished out. The waters are subsiding,
and trains are again running to Roseburg.
Too Bad. A number ofoung men, on
returning to their homes, about 6 o'clock
last Thursday morning, found that some
mischievous fellows had stolen their key
holes, and they songht to assuage their
wrath by taking "rums" at the City Hotel.
