Newspaper Page Text'2., WEEKLY C9RMHS GAZETTE. Corvallis, Oct U, 1878. THE SOUTHERN PLAGUE. Indications are that the worst of the yel low fever scourge has passed, and that the funds in the hands of the various relief com mittees will be amply sufficient to meet the present demands. We have just received, through the politeness of L. G. Kline & Co. , agents in this city, a circular and report of Aaron Stein, treasure of Wells, Fargo & Co. relief committee of San Francisco, bearing date of Sept. 21st, from which we learn the following in relation to the receipts and dis bursements of the funds passing through the hands of that company, all of which have been forwarded free of charge, throughout the Pacific Coast: Total receipts, 836,957.35; amount disbursed, $34,395.10. The various localities relieved are as follows: New Or leans, $4,750; Memphis, 18,458.50; Vwks burg, $4,825; Grenada, $1,700; Port Gibson, $500; Jackson, $250; sundry, $3,911.60; leaving a balance of cash on hand of $2, 562.25. Since the above report was made, circulars have been sent, bearing date of Sept, 30th, to the various agents of the com pany, stating that the grand total of receipts amount to $43,500; that the wants of the sufferers are all supplied; that the funds on hand are amply sufficient, and that agents will desist taking further contributions. As indicative of the feelius pervading the heart of the Southern people, we clip the following from the New Orleans Pickayune of September 22d: "The lelief which comes daily to this stricken section from all parts of the country readies further than is com monly supposed, and further, perhaps than it authors iutend. It relieves the Southern heart of its bitterness and memory of its wrongs. In the nauia of that philanthropy which has overswept all geographical and party lines, we declare that the war is over now, at last and forever. That good we can see the All-wise Ruler of nations is working out of this far-spread and desolating pesti lence. Conflicts there may be, ditfereuces of opinion there always will be; but for the future these things must b settled upon their merits, without appeal to prejudice or passion. " F!RE AT JUNCTION CITY. The heaviest blow ever dealt at the busi ness interests of Lane county, and one from which the citizen of that county will not soon recover, was the fire which laid in ashes a whole block, excepting Giimore's Hotel, in Junction City on the 7th in3t. The fire, supposed to be the work of vn in cendiary, was iirst noticed about 1 o'clock by parties wbo were in Craig's saloon, and originated in the back pirt of B. Cohen's store, about seventy feet back from Front street. Before the alarm could be given the fire had passed beyond control, and the flames were shootiag up the side of the building and through the roof as if the walk bad been saturated with coal oil. The city was without fire engines, and every man, woman and child fought bravely to subdue the flames. The total loss is estimated at $55,375, against which there is not to ex cede $18,000 insurance. Several persons were arrested for setting fire to B. Cihen's building, but the evidence se;ined to be in sufficient to fasten the guilt upon any oue. Drowned. From the Salem Becord we learn that on Thursday afternoon of last week, Mr. Shurtz, son-in-law of James Bruce of Benton county, who lives in East ern Oregon, was on his road with his wife .and infant child to pay a visit to his wife's people in Benton county, and while foard lng the Santiam near Swest Home, as they reached the middle of the stream oue of the horses balked and refused to go further.

A number of wagons have passed through Corvallis in the last few days, on their way to the State fair. They were provided with the necessary outfit for camping. Thomas Russell, Esq., Lower Alsea, was in town the first of the week. He reports everything in that portion of the county in a state of peace plenty and content. Jesse J. Houck, who returned from the East some time since, Was in the city a few days since, looking quite well. He tells us that there is no place like " Web-foot." No man's outfit is complete without s fine white shirt and neck tie, and the best place to get them is at E. Rosenthal's. The best of cigars, tobacco, candies, etc. etc., always on hand. The memorial to Congress in modification of the Burlingame treaty with China, intro duced by Hon. John Burnett, Senator from this county, has passed both houses of the Oregon Legislature. A Cauthorn & Son have a larger and more complete stock of goods than they have ever kept before, and will sell them for less than the same kind of goods has ever been sold in Corvallis.

Shurtz has been recovered, but that of the child had not at last accounts. Of course.we simerely sympathize with the bereaved husbanc', and suppose he knew where he was froi and where he was going. But upon dilierJt in quiry, we fail to place Mr. James Brlce in Benton county. We knew a James Bruce, more familiarly known as Major Bruct, who formerly resided in this county, and ow a resident of Washington county; bit was not apprised of his having a son-in-law. A prominent politician suggests that Mr. Jas. Bruce may have come to the county since the election. Accidental Shot. One day last veek, a young lady in this city was cleaning up her pistol. A by-stander asked the question. "What are you doing with that pistol, you can't shoot?" At this the young; vould-be sportswoman leveled her pistol in tie direc tion of a window and pulled the trigger, and to her astonishment (?) the pistol was discharged, the ball passing thumgh the window and into the door of a China house in fclose proximity, but luckily the Chinaman that might have b.-en accidentally standing in range of the postol was somewiiere else. The fortunate Chinaman, on hearing the report of the pistol, poked his head out of the door and asked the yung ladr, "What for you shot?" to which the younj lady re plied, "Me shoot em cats, you no telle Ray burn. " Such care'ess use of fireanns in the bands of inexperienced females, especially when they have not sufficient knowledge to tell whether the weapon is loaded or empty, Should be made reprehensible in tie extreme, as no person's life is sucure. We have omit ted names hoping that a lesson may be learn ed from this narrow escape of biting a murderess. That Democratic Resolution. Two weeks ago a correspondent to the Benton fiemacrat noticed the fact that the Oregon Legislature had ordered the saloon removed from the capitol, and then proceeded to con tend that the whisky was removed, !.... as file Legislature was Democrntie ; that had the political' complexion of that body been different, the action would have b en different.- Well, it may be the case, at all events, we hope so, for the credit of the Republi cans, for the Democrats have made a terri ble botch of it. When the resolution pass ed, the press praised the action. Temper ance people thought that at least our law makers had taken a step in the right direc tion. The proper officers were ordered to remove the saloon from' the building, and xlrith a flourish of trumoits, the world is informed that it has been done ; but still the Democratic members of the Legislature procure their whisky streight at the same place for 10 cents a drink. There is still a saloon in " full blast" in Oregon's Capitol building, "Sbamerwbereare-Uiy blushea?? .'Hi ...... 1 tttBg lrienils anil relatives. few days m Corvallis on PACIFIC COAST. Postmaster General Key was serenaded at the St. Charles Hotel, Portland, on the 3d inst. Major C. Dissosway, who had been TJ. S. Deputy Marshal since 1871, died at Pendle ton on last Tuesday. Uncle Davie Newsome is confined to his bed most of the time with severe sickness of a complicated character. The late. A. C. McDonald was son-in-law to Rev. Mr. Nelson, Presiding Elder of the M. E. Church at San Jose, California. Mrs. Kanffman, aged 61 years, living near New Era, was recently kicked by a cow, breaking her leg between the knee and ankle. Tommy, a ten-year-old son of Gold Hub bard, living near Dallas, has his jawbone broke on Wednesday of last week, by being kicked by a horse. While the steamer Ohio was going down from Dayton on the 4th inst. , and was pass ing Clackamas rapids, she struck a rock and immediately sunk. The Dallas Itemizer has dispensed with the San Francisco patent "inside," dimin ished its size and adoited the Portland pat ent "inside." This may be a wise plan, but we can't see it. From the Portland Bee we leant that Ar chie Brown, the murderer of young Joseph, h is received a letter from his mother, in which she disowns him, and leaves him to the mercy of outraged law. There is considerable emotion among the Umatilla Indians on account of one of their pamber being killed on Wild Horse creek, and fears are entertained among the whites that the Indians will retaliate. Last Saturday afternoon, says the Salem Statesman, Huge Curran, of Eage Creek, was going home from East Portland in his w-ii.'"n, and when near Millwaukie a large burning tree fell across the wagon, and coin nlc!v severed the" vehicle in the center.

"Do as I say and not as I do," is a trite adage, nevertheless seems to be still in use among those whom we should look to for an example. In our last issue we published the memorial to Congress, in troduced i l the Senate by Judge Burnett, asking for a modification of the Burlingame Treaty. Should Congress act favorably to wards this memorial, it would probably in crease the price of wood-sawing in Corvallis. led. by Bisfcnp Passed the Senate. -The Senate bill, introduced by Mr. Palmer, of this county, extending the time for the completion of the W. V. & C. R. R. passed the Senate last Tuesday. This bill provides for extend ing the time for completing the Yaqnina railroad for six years from tne time the bill becomes a law. Under the charter, as it now stands, the company would have to complete the road to tide water on the Ya quina Bay, within one year from this month. An Unexpected Wedding. Yesterday morning, Oct. 10, 1878, at 9 o'clock, Mr. E. E. Cooper, of Tacoma, W. T., and Miss Fannie B. Hamilton, of this city, were united in marriage by Rev. H. P. Dunning. This was an unexpected event even to the most intimate friends of the parties. Miss Hamilton had long been one of the. favorites of Corvallis society, and we note the fact of her marriage with some regret, from the fact that she left the city the same morning for her future home in Tacoma. However, all our selfish feelings give way to the hope that her life may be oue of unclouded happiness. Rev! A B. Arnold. We see by the pro gramme of religious exercises to be held at the fair grounds during the Fair, that on next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, a dis course on the subject of "Relations of Men tal and Moral Cultnra to Agriculture" will be delivered by Rev. A B. Arnold, president of the State Agricultural College, or substi tute. We suppose "substitute" will have to de'iver the discourse, as "Rev. A. B. Ar nold" does not happen to be president of the State Agricultural College. We have a B. L. Arnold who is recognized as presi dent, but have.net been apprised that he af fixes the title of "Rev." to his name. We presume that President B. L. Arnold is the person to whom referrence is marie, and that the subject will be ably discussed, is a fore gone conclusion. W. B. Carter returneilhomeonTnvurs REMOVED. Mr. T.

Recently, while the editor of the Rose burg Plaindealer was surveying in the moun tains west of that city, he found, just below, the falls of Lake creek, an old camp fire, in the ashes of which were a number of human bones. It is supposed the remains were those of a detective by the name of Coyote, who had been employed to apprehend and arrest a man by the name of Green, and that Green, becoming, cognizant of the fact, murdered Coyote and attempted to obilter- ate all traces by burning the body. Green is now in the penitentiary for life for mur dering a man in California. FrtOM THE CAPITAL Thursday, Oct. 3, 1878. Editor Gazette: In the Senate, the fore-. noon was occiipied in the reading of bills first time, and receiving of reports of com mittees. The afternoon was consumed in discussing Watt's bill on Insane Asylum, over which ther was a lively and animated feeling rather unfavorable to the bill. In the House, the forenoon session was occupied mainly in amending and discussing the Pilot and Harbor bill. The lobby at the Capitol is increasing, and a great pressure is brought to bear upon important measures, for and against. The business of the ses sion will necessarily be hurried through for want of time, and the members will go to the Fair. Friday, Oc1L-. The members from Benton county, Messrs. Burnett, Palmer, Green, Hughes and Carter, are oiirgeni ana active; ana ui poini oi util ity, are second to no county delegation in the State. Benton can well feel proud of her representatives in the Legislature. Judge Burnett has presented quite a number ot bills to am; ad and dissect the present code of lows, anil woro li nui a 1, I jrt.ok Democrat, I should accuse him of aiding the business success of the State Printer. Judge Haines, df Baker, also appears to have some animosity against the code. If one-half of the bills now pending before the two houses to amend the code shonld pass, we will be without any laws, comparatively, until the State wdl be again forced to ap point another Code Commission, at the ex pense of the State. It is not advisable, ev ery two years, to amend and cut up our laws in such a manner as to make many acts unintelligible and void, and increase the liti gation. I do not design any reflection or disrespect to any member for the number of bills heor theypresent; but 1 think, too much legislation is disadvantageous to the inter ests of the State. The Senate and House were both in ses sion to-day until a late hour acting on re ports, on. which there were lively discussions a few creditable speeches, and humorous hits made. The House had under consider ation a report of the committee on Univer sity, common school, swamp and overflowed lands, etc. The committee asked for fur ther time, and for leave to send' for persons and papers, and a shorthand reporter. That consumed nearly the entire afternoon, and resulted in the committee being allowed un til within three days of tho close ot the ses sion. There are a large number' of bills drawn and in readiness to be presented as soon as that order of business is reached.

ENDORSED BY THE MEDICAL PROFES SION. San Francisco, July 9, 1878. Calitornia Elastic Trass Co: After practicing medicine many years in this city, during which time 1 have had au extensive experience in the application of all kinds of Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as tbe best in every respect, tor it is as near perfection as modem science can make it. It has many advant-iges over the torturing steel-hoop Trusses, which inflict great injury, on the hips and spine, bringing on other distressing ailments, such as lumbago, morbid affections oi the kidneys and numb ness in the lower lioibs, alt of which ai'e avoided by wearing the California fcl&stic Truss. It is not only a perfect retainer, combining case and comfort, but tbe pressure ,n be changed to any decree. H dw w luaiiu in ii proiier Tpce at Ml tiroes, regardless of the motions of the boily.'and H wcrn niR-ht and day with perfect ease. It is superior to any of the Elastic Trusses now in the market, while it combines the merits of all. 1st -It is easily adjusted on and off with maps doing away" with straps and buckles. 2d The universal spring between the plate and pad prevents all irritation, which is a god-send to the suf ferer. 3d. The pad is adjusted on and off in an in stant, and can be changed for any other 6ize and form most suitable to the case. In fact it combines every quality essential to comfort and durability, and is unequaled in lightness, elasticity, natural action, and artistic finish. Many of my patients who are afflicted with hernia are wearing tnem, and all shall in the future, for I think the great ease by which these purely scientific appliances are made erncacious. is truly remarkable. You can refer any parties to me on the subject of their merits. 1 remain yours truly, L. DEXTER LYFOKD, M. D. Physician and Surgeon, 609 Sacramento street, San Francisco.
