V. B. CARTER,
PARENTAL RE8TRAIMT-
Notwithstanding the laws of this State
are very explicit and plain, and the penal
ties attached to their violation very severe,
yet it is a well known fact that gambling is
going on continually, and many of the
brightest and most promising youths of the
land are being entrapped in gambling dens,
and led to ruin. The vice of gambling does
not always originate in the dark rooms of
gambling hells. The majority of gamblers
take their first lessons around the "card
table" in respectable parlors, or with the
"dice box" at the cigar stand, candy store,
or counter of the rerpectable (?) saloon. The
"dice box," raffles and lotteries are some of
the most effectual ways of satan for demor
izing and ruining our young men. No par
ent, who has the proper regard for the mor
als of a son, can afford to countenance these,
the first steps to the gambler's life. Dram
drinking, vulgarity, gambling, lewdness,
and debauchery are the inevitable conse
quences of evil companions and depraved
associations. And it is becoming a question
of paramount importance, "Where is my
boy, to-night ?" The jails, the penitentiaries.
the police courts and the gallows, all over
our land, are speaking, in language that can
not be misunderstood, and warning parents
to guard their own sons, in early youth
and to know where and. how they spend
their evenings. It may, to some, seem
harsh and cruel that parents, who feel
that the eternal destiny of darling sons,
(the only hope of declining years, ) should
demand and know where they spend their
evenings, and require them to be at home at
a seasonable hour. This is a duty that par
ents owe to themselves, their children, the
community and to their God. But, one says,
"oh! it will never do to be so strict with
boys, for after they get older, they will do
as they please, and be worse than those who
have more liberty when young."
This is not true. It is simply a delusion
of the evil one, to quiet the consciences of
parents who prof est to think their boys are
all right, while at the same time they know
they (their boys) are being educated in the
etreet which is ouly another name for
hoodlumism. Suppose that every parent in
Corvallis, had perfect control of their sons,
as they should have, until they reach the
years of maturity, and required them to
spend their evenings at horpe, or at proper
places, the parent being the judge, does any
body believe that we would hear so much
complaint about hoodlumism ? Of course
not. Parents, in ninety-nine cases out of
every hundred, are responsible for the evils
of hoodlumism, which are becoming so ap
palling in large cities. When parents cannot
govern their children, the laws of the land
must, and trill. Disobedience to parents is
the first step in the road to ruin, and others
follow in quick succession. The dying
words of Archie Brown, upon the gallows
in Portland, was, boys, "mind your mothers.
If I hid heeded the instructions of my
mother, I would have been a good boy, and
would not stand upon the scaffold to-day."
This is the universal voice of the lost and
ruined. Home-training, parental restraint,
under the blessing of God, is the only hope
of the rising generation, and the only guar,
antee of good society.
In view of recent development, in our
own community, and the fearful recitals of
youthful crime, with which the press of the
land teems, we would not feel, as a public
journalist, that we had done our whole duty,
unless we raised a warning voice, on this
subject, and called upon parents to consider
this matter, and act as for eternity. "As
the twig is bent the tree is inclined." It is
worse than tolly to expect to "gather grapes
of thorns or figs of thistles." No sane per
son, upon entering a nursery, will select a
gnarly, crooked, twisted, dwarfed stock, ex
pecting that it will grow up to ba a straight,
handsome, well-proportioned tree. Can't
the reader makeJftHMMication '! There is a
fearful responsn Hlug upon parents,
and especially flHHPoT the present laxity
of public morals. It is a responsibility and
accountability, that we cannot shift upon
other shoulders. We must meet it in the
acts of our children in time, at the bar of
God, and in eternity.
REVIVAL MEETWOSV
The revival meetings in progress in this
place for two weeks past, lacking one day,
Under the leadership of Rev. T. W. Spans
wick, closed last Wednesday evening. The
attendance at the day and evening meetings,
notwithstanding the' almost incessant storm,
has been very large, and the religions inter
est very encouraging, indeed, and resulted
in a large number of conversions. Great
good has been accomplished, and Christians
should take courage, and go forward in the
work of the Master.
Mr. Spanswick is an indefatigable worker,
and has a most happy faculty of getting
others to work, also. In the latter, lies
much of his power. He little expected
When he came to this state, to engage in
the work of an Evangelist ; but, under the
circumstances, he could not yell evade the
calls of duty, as Providence has presented
to him open doors for usefulness. His la
bors have been wonderfully blessed at Al
bany, Brownsville, Eugene City and Corval
fis. From here he went to McMinnville,
where' he expects to begin a series of meet
ings next Sabbath. Last Sabbath evening,
as intimated in our last paper, he intend
ed to close his work here, and start the
next morning for McMinnville, in order to
take a little rest before beginning the meet
ing there. But at the earnest solicitation o!
Rev. Jos. Emery, he consented not to speak
about his leaving, in his sermon, Sabbath
evening, and provided there were religious
indications to justify it, he would remain
until the Wednesday following. The col
lege chapel was crowded to overflowing
with attentive listeners, and he preached a
powerful sermon from the words : And
what will ye do in the end thereof ? " It
was the most impressive and solemn meet
ing of the season and quite a large number
were forward for prayers. At the close of
the meeting it was announced that there
had lieen sir conversions to God This set'
fled the matter, and Rev. Emery announced
that Mr. Spanswick had consented to re
main until Wednesday night. The meeting
on Wednesday night was a glorious one
the college chapel could not hold toe congre
gation. Great good was accomplished and
the meetings closed simply because the pas
tors were completely worn out, and needed
rest the meetings having been in progress
for several weeks prior to the arrival ot Mr.
Spanswick. a

" Died Abbie, wife of Samuel Dawaged

WAKE UP.
Eb. Gazette : The U. S. Board of En
gineers consists of CoL C. S. Stewart and
G. H. Mendell, both residing in S. F. It
would be proper and right for the people of
Linn, Lane, Benton, Marion and Polk coun
ties, and, for that matter, every other por
tion of the State interested, to meet in pub
lic; have addresses by the most prominent
gentlemen, and pass resolutions embodying
a statement of agricultural and commercial
facts, showing the economy and necessity
of Foulweather as a Harbor of Refuge, and
forward a report of the same to the Board
of Engineers, our Representatives in Con
gress, and all proper persons, concerned. If
the Portland Board of Trade can resolve on
a course, to say the least, crooked, it seems
quite in order for those so much injured by
such misrepresentation, to tell the "truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. "
Awhile ago we worked for a survey of this
point, relying on the result of the official
report. I remember of no assistance ren
dered by memorial of the Portland Board of
Trade. After a survey is made, giving us
all, and more than we claimed, we are ruth
lessly set aside, in fact ignored. Will the
people wake vt to this important matter,
or wait, with anxiety, an expression of our
leading papers and public men ?
The papers are full of the details of hang
ing Brown and Johnson. As a matter of
news this may be well enough, but it seem3
fraught with evil consequences, and I be
lieve a law prohibiting the publication of
the scaffold confessions and bravado speeches
of murderers would be of great moral ser
vice. It is a safe assertion to say an hun
dred boys in Oregon have industriously in
quired for the "songs" Brown sang, and
probably a score of street gamins, ere this,
have improvised a gallows and gone through
all the ceremony of "dying game." Re
sueetable newspapers are supposed to mold
public opinion and teach morality. Another
thing frequently seen is this : "Richard Roe
was discharged from the penitentiary, yes
terday, having served out his time for horse
stealing he was from county, and took
the train south." In other words, the law
has been satisfied, but the man's crime is
again made public, and caution is as publicly
given to look out for, a repetition of his first
offense ? Can it be wondered at that trieri
are so often returned to our jails ? What
chance is there for reformation when the
greed for" news" overrides the charity of
silence ? Rialto.

FIRE AT INDEPENDENCE.
Ed. Gazette : On last Friday night, the
21st inst., our quiet little town was startled
by the shrill cry of fire, and the clangor of
bells, and the startled inhabitants flocked to
the streets to find the saloon of Johnson &
Cooper in flames. This saloon is situated
on the corner of the most closly built block
in town, and our fire boys had no appliances
with which to combat the fiery element.
They did the best they could, and succeeded
in keeping it from crosssing the street, to
the north, and it spread to the south, de
stroying the saloon and fixtures ; next came
the shoe shop of A Deming, and extended
as far up as the butcher shop of F. D. Lev
eredge. The losses are as follows : Johnson
& Cooper, saloon and fixtures, 3,000 ; A.
Deming, stock and tools in shoe shop, 300 ;
H. Hirschberg, stock, 7,000 ; E. T. Hen-
kle, fixtures of barber shop, $50 ; M. Mitch
ell, building, $1,000 ; Butler, Smith & Co.,
building, 1,000; Irvine Bros., stock, 1,000;
F. D. Leveredge, meat market, 200 ; A. J.
Reis3 & Bro., removal of stock, 400 ; A.
Wolf, removing stock, damage, etc., 1,000.
Thi3 is the first fire that Independence has
ever experienced, except the burnuirg of the
saw mill, several hundred yards from the
business portion of the town ; and we sin
cerely hope it may bte the last. The busi
ness houses burned will be re-btiilt at once,
as most of them are already having material
placed on the ground. Q.
Independence, Marah 24, 1879.
Don't Feet. The Portland Bee says :
" We don't hear much about the Yaquina
road," and intimates that Col. Hogg is likely
to "sell out," etc. The wish is father to the
thought, in this case. The enemies of the
"Yaquina road" would like to see Col. Hogg
"sell out" and cease his iuterest in this road,
but there is no "danger in this direction,'1
provided the people fulfill their part of the
contract relative to the construction of this
road which they will, most assuredly, do.
The people of Benton and the adjacent coun
ties mean business, and if the" Bee man will
keep his ears and eyes open, for a few weeks,
he will see and henr things relative to CoL
Hogg and the "Yaquida road" that may as
tonish him. The " Yaquina road" wi'l be
built and it will not necessarily require the
limit of the charter six years to do it.

Having examined the plan and style of a County
Atlas ot Washington, Yamhill, Polk, Benton and
Lane counties, proposed to le published by Edgar

men throughout the Counties, we therefore take
pleasure in recommending them and their project to
your favorable consideration, trusting that you will
see it to your advantage to give them such informa

enterprise, and enable them to put forth an Atlas of
our Counties of such character that both patrons and

In explanation of the foregoing, we would state
that in case of sufficient encouragement, we propose
to publish a combined Map and History of VVashing
ton, Yamhill, Polk, Benton and Lane Counties, IN at
las form, containing an index and table of explana
tions, a double page Map of tho State of Oiegon,
10x26 inches, finely colored and corrected up to the
time of publication, with population of comities and
cities according to last census.
A Map of Washington, Yamhill, Polk, Benton and
Lane counties, colored by precincts, showing the loca
tion of towns, postofficcs, wagon roads, railroads, etc.
A history oi the five counties from the earliest set
tlement up to the present time.
After this comes one of the most complete, and
largest collection of Maps ever published on the Pa
cific coast, cutting all such lands in the counties as
have been surveyed into townships by the Govern
ment surveyors, into sections, such as will cover one
page about 13x10 inches, which will there be produced
on a scale of one and one-quarter inches to the mile.
This will enable us to showtheoriginal donationc!airr.s
original donees, nanus, with the number of acres do
nated to the same. The names of subscribers, with
the position of their farm lines, the number of acres,
and the location of their houses, orchards, etc., will
also be shown on the maps on lands outside of the
city and village corporations. Also the location of
waaron roads, railroads, streams, mills, manufactories,
churches, school houses, cemeteries, blacksmith
shops, etc.
The mountainous part ot the counties which are
still unsurveyed, will there be shown on a scale suffi
ciently large to show all tha is necessary.
Also fine plats of the recorded cities and villages in
each of the live counties, showing the original part of
the town, with the additions to the same, by colors,
with the numbers of the blocks, lots and namss of
streets, with a brief historical sketch of each.
A business directory of those who patronize the
work, giving their names, residence, business, post
office address, nativity, and when they came to the
State and county, with number of seres of land they
own, if any, in the State!
Fine lithographic views ( per contract) from penci?
drawings of a number of prominent buildings and
farms in the counties.
It will be about 16x17 inches square, finely bound,
making it an invaluable work to the business men
and property owners of the counties.
To insure accuracy, we have a corps of experienced
men, composed of civil engineers, artists and histori
ans, who are each particularly adapted to the depart
ment in which they work.
An experimental canvass will soon be commenced,
and should it meet with sufficcnt encouragement to
warrant the publication, we shall endeavor to' finish
tiie work in from seven to twelve months.
It is impossible for one to get a correct idea of the
work without seeing copies published of other coun
ties, which you will have an opportunity of doing,
when called upon by our agent, who will take pleas
ure in showing and explaining it to you.
Hoping that the enterprise will meet with your
favorable consideration and support, we are,
Very Respectfully, EDGAR WILLIAMS & CO.

Off for the Islands. A private note
from Capt. J. J. Winant, dated at his home
in Alameda, March 16th, says : "I suppose
you will be ao mew hat surprised, when I tell
you that I will leave to morrow for the
Sandwich Islands. It is quite sudden and
unexpected to me. I go by the Australian
steamer. I go on private business, in the
interest of other parties. The enterprise
may prove profitable if not, it will afford
me a pleasant trip. I may drop yoti a few
lines, if opportunity offers, while at the
Islands." The many friends of Capt. W,
in Oregon, will unite with us in wishing him
not only a pleasant, but profitable trip.
Rough Weather. J. Surman, Esq., in a
P. S. to a business letter, bearing date New
port, March 22d, says: "There is nothing
particular here to report on, except the pro
verbially rough March weather, which has
given us, so far, 12 days, more or less rainy,
with occasional gales and hail storms ; four
cloudy, and six warm and very fine days.
Rainfall to date 57-60 inches."
A. Cauthorn & Son have just received a
larger stock of goods than ever brought to
this city, by them, which they are selling at
" way down prices." It will pay you to call
on them. Ladies, especially, will do well
to call and examine their goods and prices.

Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's Gehman Syrut to let its
wonderful qualities be known to theirfriends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three dos
es will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty of all Drugsrists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were
sold last year, and no one case where it fail
ed was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles
to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cts.
For sale by Graham & Hamilton and Allen
Jfc Woodward.
They All Take It.
When the system is run down to that
extent that you pass sleepless nights, are
nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebod
ings, sour stomach, sick headache and coat
ed tongue, do not enroll yourself as high pri
vate, in the rear rank, under General Debil
ity, but cheer up and try White's Prairie
Flower, The Great Liver Panacea, now for
sale in every city and town on the Continent.
No medicine ever compounded is half its
equal for the cure of DYSPEPSIA and LIV
ER COMPLAINT. It has a specific power
over the liver, and by enring the liver Dys
pepsia ami all other diseases arising from it,
ijsh as it by magic, Sample bottles are

to a large congregation in this city, and
from which he has kindly permitted us to
make the following extract ;
Rev. T. W. Spanswick
Dear Brother : Robert Fagan, as
I wrote yon yesterday, is no more. He
died in the full faith of a blessed immortal'
ity. For some days before his death, he
was unconscious, and talked constantly dur
ing the whole time ; not a profane or vulgar
word escaped his lips hot one word over
which we should throw the mantle of char
ity. He often called on those around him
to pray ;- and while they were praying, al
though suffering intense agonies, he would
remain quiet, with folded hands. He prayed
a great deal of the time himself ; some of
his prayers were pronounced, by those who
stood around his bedside, as the most touch
ing and eloquent they ever heard fall from
mortal lips. In one prayer, that I heard, he
prayed, " I thank Thee, Oh Father, for that
black day on which the assassins of earth
crucified the Son of God !" A few hours
before he died, he exclaimed, "I am passing
life's December. I see beyond that beautiful
land" His was a most triumphant death.
Mr1. Henry Humphrey of Linn county,
died on the 14th inst. He was a U. S. sol
dier during the Mexican war.
Sad Havoc is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth by allow
ing impurities to collect upon their surface
or in their interstices. SOZODONT re
moves every vestige of tartar from the
teeth, and renders their' premature decay
impossible. It not only imparts to them
whiteness and vigor,- but communicates
hardness and rosiness to the gums. The
breath acquires a most acceptable fragrance
from its use; it is a- purely botauic liquid,
and it may be relied on to accomplish its
beautifying effects without injuring the en
amel like a gritty tooth paste.
Consumption Cured.
Ahold physician' retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable remedy for 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 receipe will be
sent free of charge, to all who desire it, with
full directions for preparing and successfully
using. Address with stamp, naming this
parer. Dr. J. O. Stone, 44 North Ninth
