MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Our annual city election passed off, last
Monilay exceedingly quiet. A stranger
-would scarcely have known it was "election
day," except from the fact that the saloons
were closed.. No regular nominations hav
ing been made, every candidate ran fin his
'own hook." Some interest was manifested
in the offices of Mayor and Recorder, but
the meagre vote polled shows that but little
interest was manifested in the election.
3There were no political, or even local issues,
made publicly. Although it was rumored,
during the day, that certain parties were
making a test in councilman upon the loca
tion of the railroad depots. The following is

THfe u. s snag boat, corvallis.
This substantial craft, under command of
Capt. John Gore, has 1 een doing very effec
tive service in the Vi!!a:netJ.e river, at Cen
tennial Chute, Hogue's Creek, Booneville
slough and other place?, about eight or ten
miles above this place, Most of th's river
improvement, in that locality, h.13 been pull
ing snags, having removed all that were in
sight, at this stage of witer. When the
river falls the snag boat will, doubtless,
make another trip. The Corvallis dropped
down to Blair's wharf, last Wednesday af
ternoon, and laid for the night, giving all
hands an opportunity of seeing the beauti
ful little city, which their craft bears the
name of. The officers are John Gore, cap
tain ; J. P. V. Csderberg, engineer ; John
Chamberlain, mate, and crew of six men,
all able-bodied and active, just the men for
the business. From here the Corvallis pro
ceeded to Half Moon Bend (a terror to
steamboatmen) where she will make a clean
sweep of obstructions, and then proceed fur
ther down. The steam propelling power is
a wonderful improvement on the old style.
The only trouble now is, that she has not
quite power enough to stem very strong
currents, but does most eQ'ective work.

DEATH OF MRS. CASTLE.
The Philomath Crucible of April 29th, has
the following notice of the death of the wife
of Bishop . Castle, of that place :
The loag afflicted wife of the Bishop died
on last Sabbath at about three o'clock in the
afternoon. She died suddenly, as might
have been expected from the nature of the
disease. The lungs, what ws left of them,
Lave way suddenly ; and .all was soon over.
By what would have seemed a special provi
dence, her daughter, Mrs. Sheak was at
her side when she died. Mrs. Sheak had
kept her room up stairs for, some days ; but
was, at the last, brought down, and was by
her mother's side. .
It shall not be our aim here to point the
lessons which this and its attendant circum
stances point. To say that she died in
peace would be nothing against any one s
expectations. A life of sanctity, of chan
'y and of victory always insures a triumph
ant death. For months her influence has
been most powerful in favor of the higher
life. She seemed to be spared for a special
work, which, when we have the kind con
sent of the living friends, we may in future.
set forth. Her departure should not puss
in o memory as that ot the general dead.
S' e left advice, she secured promises, her
holy life influenced vows that must be heed
ed."keDt. and paid i or a fearful account
will accrue against us.
The funeral was preached at the Bishop s
residence, at 10 o'clock, on last Tuesday,
by the Rev. P. C. Hetzler, of Salem. The
sermon was solemn and deeply impres
sive. The text which was a selection by
3ister Castle herself, was the words "Pre
cious in the 3ight of the Lord is the death
of his saints." The appointments of the
funeral were mainly specified by the de
ceased. The eotiin and all the things that
could be so were white. Flowers were there
emblems of purity and resurrection had a
new ana powernu meaning in connection
with the holy life of the departed. There
was a very large attendance. The inter
ment took place at the cemetery east of
Philomath.
ALMOST A DISASTER.
Ed. Gazette : On last Friday a young
man, Peter Lawson by name, who was at
work for Joseph Allen in Kings Valley, was
out bunting, I believe, with Mr. Allen
Phinkett. Now this same Peter Lawson
had in the behind pocket of his pants a few
trinkets, such as knives, keys, etc., but
more especially matches and a flask of pow
der. By some means, unknown, the match
es caught, the powder caught, and a terrific
explosion followed. It was fearful the way
that powder did tear things in the region of
that boy's coat tails. The whole after part
ot his pants, and they were bran new, was
fetched entirely away. But the boy, O,
where was he ? Joe Allen says he was turn
ing round and round, trying to find where
he was hit, thinking he had been shot.
Phinkett says he was dancing up and down
grabbing frantically with both hands, trying
to extinguish the fire from the lower extrem
ity of his shirt. , The damage to pants and
other garments, in the rear, was serious.
The damage to person slight.
Mfr. Lawson left this morning on a roll of
blankets, between two Chinamen, to tiy
and get a job of work on the railroad, w heie
explosions do not take place.

for the month of April, 1879 :
Handsome Monuments. Among other
specimens of artistic warkmaaship, sent
from the marble works of Mr. Ira Miller, of
this city, last Tuesday, was a very hand
some Italian marble monument, six feet in
bight, including the base, to mark the graves
of our departed "little ones," The em
b'ems : a rose, lilly, and two little lambs,
were quite perfect, while the lettering was
very fine indeed. The monument was
wrought from a very handsome marble tlib,
while the designs and finish were exquisite,
ami reflect great credit upon Mr. Miller
and those in his employ. Another very
handsome monument, much larger than
ours, being about ten feet In bight, is now
ready for shipment, and was ordered by Mr.
Ellis Knox, of Knox' Butte, Linn county,
to mark the last resting ploce of his father
and mother. The base of this monument
is a pculiar sort of granite, very beantifr.','
but rare. It is found in various places in
this valley, iu detached pieces, varying in
size from one foot in diameter to several
trms weight. No quarries of this materia!
have yet been discovered, and various con
jectures are suggested as to its presence
here. Some contend that these specimens
have been floated to our valleys in ice
gorges, in by-gone ages. Perhaps Professor
Condon could throw some light upon the
subject, if presented to him.

OREGON'S AREA.
The Resources of Oregon and Washington
says : The State of Oregon has an average
length north and south of 275 miles, and
a breadth cast and west of 250 miles, and
contains 96,250 square miles, or 61,000,000
acres of land. It embraces more territory
than New York and Pennsylvania combined ;
while the population does not exceed 200,000.
The estimate of land for agricultural pur
poses amounts to about 30,000,000 acres,
and about 20,000,000 acres may be claimed
as grazing lands, leaving the remainder, 11,
000,000 acres, as timber lands. For over
twenty-five per cent, of the agricultural and
grazing lands have passed from the govern
ment into the hands of private parties, and
the quantity under cultivation will not ex
ceed live per cent. As already stated, the
State is divided into two natural divisions
Eastern and Western Oregon, the Cascade
range of mountains crossing the State from
north to sonth is the dividing line between
the two sections, each division having its
own peculiarity of climate, soil and typog
raphy. In the western division, lying par
allel with the Cascade range, there are three
large fertile valleys, separated from each
other and from the sea coast by low ranges
ot mountains. Of these three valleys, the
Willamette valley is tar superior ; it is sep
arated from the Umpqua valley by the C'ala
pooia mountains.
Postponed. In consequence of the con
tinued rains, on last Tuesday evening a
meeting of Voung America Engine Compai y
No. 1, w ;s called, to consider the propriety
of postponing the firemen's pic-nic and ball,
announced for to-day and night, the 9th inst.
A mijoriy were so opposed to postpone
ment, realizing the disappointment and in
convenience it would occasion, voted. to ad
journ until 9 A. M. on Wednesday, when, if
the rains continued, they would agree to a
postponement. Wednesday morning came
and plenty of rain, also, with no indications
of ceasing. After considerable discussion,
it was agied to postpone the pic-nic and
ball for one week until the 16th inst. The
secretary was intsmcted to inform the tire
departments heard from, by telegraph, and
extend a cordial invitation to thein to be
present at that time. Every one regrets
the postponement, bat circumstances be
yond human control, seemed to demand it.
To wade through muddy streets and wet
grass on pic-nic day is not pleasant. We
hope the weather will be. favorable by the
16th, on which occasion We look for a large
crowd from Albany and other places. Of
course Benton will furnish large delegations,
and a good time is anticipated.

At the present time it is only about 60,000,

Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has
used Bos:hbe's German Sykup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consnmption, 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 ease, and we consider it
the duty, of all Druggists 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.
