WEEKLY CORVAILIS GAZETTE, Corvallis, M. 7, 1879. THE FUTURE OF CORVALLIS. Since it has become a fixed fact that the Oregon Central Railroad will be extended to Corvallis, next summer, real estate has per ceptibly enhanced in value, anil is changing hands. Several new buildings will rro up early in the spring, and Various improve ments will be made. With railroad connec tion, Corvalli3 is destined to be one of the liveliest and mo.it desirable business places, as it is the handsomest, in Oregon. Located in the geographical center of the Stite, within sixty miles of one of the best harbors between San Francisco and Puget Sound, it Deeds no prophetic ken to foretell a brilliant future. Every person visiting Corvallis, especially in the spring and early summer, is struck with its lovely location, magnificent scenery, clear, sparkling water, healthful climate, and refreshing se.i breezas, wafted through a gap in the mountains in the immediate vi cinity of Mary's Peak. It is siturted upon a beautifel level plateau, at the confluence of Mary's river with the Willamette, the banks of the latter along the entire city front, on the east, being very high, giving wonderful advantages for drainage. The streets, in their natural condition, are splendid, and are suflkiently inclined to the north and east for easy and nat ural drainage. There are no "cuts" and "fills," no grading of lots, etc. The pla teau upon which the city is built extends back to the foothills, about two miles, gen tly riring among the hills, until it is lost in the Coast range of mountains which divides the Willamette valley from the Pacific ocean Possessing so many natural advantages and surrounded by an unlimited extent of the timst agricultural and grazing land in the State, well watered and timbered, it seems marvelous to strangers that Corvallis should have so long remained in the back ground. But the day of deliverance from obscurity is brightly dawning, and every railroad project and public improvement in the State will, eventually, pay tribute to our beautiful city, which, as its name indicates, is the " Heart of the Valley." We desire to see Corvallis and Benton county grow and flourish upon their merits, alone. Jt has never bean our wish to pull down or discourage other places, or throw cold water upon any enterprise or improve ment, simply because it wa not in Corvallis. We want railroads and manufactories, which will bring population and wealth to the State, and have no fear but Corvallis will receive her full share of the benefits that Will certainly flow therefrom. We are the right side of the river, as indicated by the following westside enterprises, notices of which we find in the Oregonian of recent date: The Western Oregon Railroad Company, with Joseph Brandt, Jr. P. Schultz and J. N. Dolph, of Portland, as incorporators, has just filed articles of incorporation in the of fice of the Secretary of State, the capital stock beins? placed at 2,000,000. The busi ness of s lid corpora' iosi shall be to emuitract and equip railroad and te'egraph lines from Portland by or near McMinnville, Amity and Corvallis to or near Junction City ; also a branch from, at or near St. Joseph toa point on the O. 4 C.

The Northwestern Construction Company has also filed articles of incorporation.

It. Koehler. I. R. Moores and Joseph Simon are the in corporators, the capital stock being fixed at 8500,000, and the "principal business office being located at Portland. Entertainment.

A Real Surprise. One of those p'.eas ant episodes in a faithful minister's life, oc curred to Rev. Joseph Emery and family, last Friday evening. On that evening some twenty persons, who reside across tlie ri.er, in I inn county, made an unannounced visit to the residence of Mr. Emery, (who was not at home at the time), bringing with them a most generous free-will offering in the way of hams, flour, potatoes, butter, canned fruits, etc., and money to pay fer riage for a year. The ladies also bronght their baskets full of cooked provisions, and spread a bounteous repast, of which all par took heartily.

Last Tuesday afternoon our qniet city was thrown into excitement by the an nouncement that a young man, named Charles Brailley, had committed suicide, by shooting himself, through the head, with his own pistol. The young man is almost a total stranger in this place, arriving last sum mer from Ohio, in company with two sons of Mr. Casteel, at whose residence, on the State Agricultural farm, the terrible deed was consummated. But little is known of this young man, except that he was of steady habits, quiet and retiring in his man ner, and apparently in robust health. He has been stopping with Mr. Casteel most of the time since his arrival in Oregon, last August, we believe. His father is represented as quite weal thy, and had sent this sea to Oregon in or der to break off some love affair. So rumor says. He was expecting money with which to return home but it did not come. Dur ing the forenoon of the fatal day, he wrote a etter home, and upon returning from the post office, gathered all his letters and pa pers together and burned them leaving not a line to indicate the cause of his self de struction. The whole matter is involved in the deepest mystery as no sufficient cause has been discovered for the terrible rash, mad act, that cut him off in the very bloom of manhood being probably only about 25 or 28 years of age. He was a Roman Cath olic, and had united with the Church at this place,, we understand. Judge McFad den, assisted by Timothy Donhue, and other citizens, took charge of the remains and gave them decent burial in the Catholic cemetery. The following report of the fet ing coroner, and coroner's jury, are kindly furnished us for publication : State of Oregon, ) County of Benton. Corvallis, Feb. 4, 1879; I hereby certify that on the 4th day of Februay, 1879, the undersigned, acting cor oner for the county of Benton, State of Ore gon, held an inquest on the dead body of Charles Brailley. A jury of six men were summoned, whose names and verdict are herewith enclosed. Two witne3se3 were sworn, Nelson Casteel and his son William. Nelson Casteel testified that deceased was preparing to leave his house ; had taken his trunk out on the porch ; that they had some unpleasant conversation ; that he, (Brailley) seemed to be out of humor; considered that he (Castee!) had ordered him off ; went out into the yard ; in a short time he heard the report of the pistol, but supposed he had fired for amusement, as he often did ; but on coming to the door saw him lying on the ground as the jury found him. O.i examination of his effects there was nothing found of any value, except a small silver watch and the pistol with which the deed was done ; also a small valise, a trunk, and some clothing, all of which are now iu my possession. Respectfully submitted, this 4th dr.y of February, 1879. W. H. Johnson, J. P. and Acting Coroner. In the matter of the death of Charles Brailley. State of Oregon, ) County of Benton. We the coroner's jury, summoned and sworn to inquire into the causes producing the death of Charles Brailley, found dead in the yard of Mr. Nelson Casteel, in said county and State, on the 4th day of Febru ary, 1879, find the following facts : That we repaired to the y ird of ife Casteel on the afternoon of said day ; did proceed to examine, Under oath, Mr. Nelson Casteel, and Wm. Casteel bis son. That from said examination of said persons and from the appearance of the deceased, as to the man ner of hi3 death, we do find, under our oaths, that the said Charles Brailley came to his death in said county by his own hand, to wit : Hy firing a pistol ball into his temple, from a five shooting pistol, then and there held in his right hand.

This disfiguring defect should be repaireil without delay, by using fragrant SOZO DUAT. which removes every particle of tartar from the teeth and renders them snowy white. This admirable aid to beauty is perfectly harmless and exhales a most delightful aroma, and is in every respect preferable to the ordinary tooth pastes and powder3. Try it and see for yourself. Insane. Adam Weidener, who has been working on the farm of W. R. Calloway, in this county, for some time past, attempted suicide, about two weeks ago, by trying to drown himself in the creek, in that neigh borhood. Failing in this, he then attempt ed to amputate his arm, and in this was suc cessful to the extent of inflicting a very se vere gash, from which he worild have prob ably died through loss of blood, but for the timely aid of physicians, Drs. Lee and Farra having been immediately summoned. On last Saturday the unfortunate young man was brought to Corvallis, and after examin ation, adjudged insane, by Judge McFadden, and on Monday Sheriff King took him to the asylum, at Portland. Mr. W. is a ger German by birth, possessing a good educa tion, a pleasing address and considerable property. Mr. Calloway was appointed his guardian by the County Court. Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from active prac tice, having had placed in his hands by an East Indian missionary the formula of a sim ple vegetable reraedyfor the speedy and per manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for General Debility and all nervous com plaints, after having thoroughly tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, feels it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The diges tion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nerv ous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liyer.

The liver is very apt to become torpid this season of the year as poisons arising from stagnant water or decaying vegetation are more numerous and are through inhalation taken into the blood. Unless the liver is strong and active and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure blood to drive out the impurities, the above mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if not heeded, end in more terrible diseases and death.

Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they'fnrnish convincing 3vidence of the superiority of this Sar saparilla over every otlrer alterative medicine. So generally is its superi ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
