CORVALLI8 COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT EX
ERCISES Sunday, long before 11 o'clock, A. M. , the
spacious College Chapel was filled to over
flowing to hear the Baccalaureate sermon by
Rev. J. T, Wilson, of Halsey. All other
churches were courteously closed on that
day a fact highly appreciated by the col
lege and the community. The text was :
" Who knoweth whether thou art come to
the kingdom for such a time as this ? "
Queen Esther delivered her people from a
barbarous cruelty those whom he addressed
might be called upon to aid in delivering our
country from communism. Practice self
denial. MONDAY, 10 O'CLOCK.
The Board of Regents met, President
Burch in the chair. The reports of the va
rious officers read, examined and adopted.

healthy and encouraging. The following

EXHIBITION OF THE PREP. DEPARTMENT
At 7 o'clock P. M. Large audience in the
City HalL The exercises began promptly
at the appointed time with Salutatory, by
Carrie Baldwin. Then came in quick suc
cession Ivie Eglin, Lulu Smith, Sarah Eg
lin, Lizzie Hemphill, Ella Eglin, Bertha Em
ery, Sarah Baker, Annie Kelsay, Arthur
Polly, Arthur Manning, Lucien McElroy,
Willis McElroy, G. B. Smith, Jr., Otto
Wells and Arthur St. Clair. They were en
gaged in recitations and dialogues. Then
came " Horse Dealing," by Arthur Polly,
' Papa's Pet," by Sarah Jacobs, followed by
the " Graces," in which many of the girls
above named were engaged, and also Lilly
Moore, Jennie Horning, Lucy Wiles, Lizzie
Johnson, Lizzie Keesee, Ollie Kiger and Lu
lu Miller. These little girls spoke distinct
ly, and their manner was graceful. "The
Indian as he is " Essay by Edward Wiles.
Columbus Christopher discovered these Con
tinentals in the wilds of America. They
are still here. Every Indian is a complete
barber shop. Then came a pretty little
song, by Lilly Moore, " I want to be some
body's Darling." About a hundred boys
spoke at the same time, " Aere ! "
Eva Bayley was elected "May Queen."
Kindness is rewarded. M. Bicl;ard rad an
essay on the original feubject "Man." The
mean man will not change five dollars for
you when you have no money. The lazy
man dies because he is too tired to live.
Lizzie Keesee gave the reason " Why ? "
The unhappiness of matrimony was visi
bly portrayed by Eva Bayley. If your re
porter were not too modast to discriminate,
he would venture to suggest that this per
formance was the gem of the exhibition.
The " Greatest Plague in Life " was to find
a cook that could make a Tipsy Pudding
all too temperate or too ignorant. Alice
Horning, Mary E. Holman, and Emma Rog
gers had the most difficult parts, but they,
and the others, acted true to life.
The exercises were continued with a de
bate as to " whether Washington or Lafay
ette was the greater man." One Frenchman
was considerably excited because his oppo
nent, "the gentilhomme would not stick
himself to the kesteeyon." Nearly every
style of discussion was illustrated.
The closing piece gave the trials of a
" Public Benefactor." W. Holman told
how troublesome a good deed might be if
made public. W. Emery well represented
the part of Barney Hoolan.
In all these recitations there was very lit
tle prompting, and JJrof. McElroy, the pre
siding genius conducted the exercises with a
dispatch and ease of manner that would do
credit to a veteran stage manager. From
beginning to end there was not a jar. Ex
cellent music throughout by the 2d Brigade
Band.
The rest of the Commencement exercises
will appear in the next issue. Reporter.
Beautiful Boquet. For rich beauty and
elegant adornment, nothing, in our humble
opinion, graces an editor's table like a rich
and artistically arranged boquet of natural
fiowertl While wo write this notice we feel
like making onr politest bow to Miss Rebec
ca Wren, of the Vincent House, for just
such a present and if we were ever given
to writing poetry or making rhymes, the
readers of the Gazettes would be regaled
with one of our most sentimental efforts on
this occasion. All hands, including ye
" imp of the ink keg." as well as numerous
visitors, unite in saying " exquisitely beau
tiful." May the roses on the cheeks of the
fair donor never wither and fade, like the
roses in this offering when subjected to the
heat of an editor's sanctum.
Returned. P. H. Crim, engineer, re
turned from Yaquina Bay last Sunday even
ing. He has been absent about two weeks,
engaged in repairing the little steam launch,
Eureka, which burst some tubes in her boil
er, sometime since, as mentioned in the Ga
zette. Mr. Crim says she is in excellent
order now, and ready for business. The
late starting of the stages, this spring, has
been a great disadvantage to the traveling
public, as well as Capt. Cut, of the.Eureka.
The Eureka is a great convenience,- and
makes the trip from Elk City to Newport in
about 2 hours, carrying from 15 to xi) pas
sengers. Decided improvement on the row
boat system.

excursion. Should the weather prove favor
able, a large crowd is anticipated. This has
been an unusually unfavorable month for
excursions and pic-nics.
AN OREQONIAN HEARD FROM.
Mr. L. Vineyard, who started, sometime
since, for Missouri, was still in California,
at last accounts. The Commercial (S. F.)
Advocate of the 17th of May contains a
lengthy communication, from his pen, on
Oregon, giving " facts regarding its climate
and agricaltural resources." The letter, in
the main, was well written, but rather over
drawn, in some particulars. For instance,
the yield of wheat is too large. Instead of
averaging from 40 to 60 bushels to the acre,
from 20 to 40 would have been nearer the
yield for the Willamette valley. Nothing
is gained by misrepresenting the real pro
ductiveness of a country. With a high
state of cultivation, the yield could be made
what Mr. V. represents but under the
present system of farming, in Oregon, it is
not reached, except in rare cases.
In representing our state administration
as " notably tree irom ail jods, maueasance
and corruption," we presume Mr. V. did not
intend to include the Grover-Chadwick
Democratic administration of the past eight
years, .remaps ne lias not reaa tne reports
of the investigating committees on the
THE ROYAL MARIONETTE8.
As will be seen by advertisement, this re
markably popular exhibition will be pre
sented before the people of Corvallis and
vicinity, on next Tuesday evening, June 3d.
The following neat notice is from the San
Jose Herald.
The little wooden rjeonle continue to Dlease
all who see them, particularly the children.
lhe comic antics ot the Automatons must
be seen to be appreciated, and no one who
has a child old enough to understand the
performance, should fail to take them to see
the Marionettes. Nothing benefits a person
more than a jolly laugh, and this the little
ones will have if they are allowed to see the
Marionettes.
DlPTHERlA. Some two weeks since Mr.
Asa Alexander, son-in-law of Mrs. R.
Chambers, of Kings Valley, lost a child,
about two years old, with that terrible dis
ease, diptheria. On last Sabbath the young
est daughter of Mrs. C, aged about 12
years, died of the disease, and on Tuesday,
another daughter, aged 15 years, yielded to
the terrible scourge. Still another daugh
ter, Mrs. Larkin Price, was suffering from
the same disease, with 1 ut little hopes of re
covery, at last accounts, l ne disease, so
far, seems confined to Mrs. Chambers' fam
ily. She has the sympathy of the entire
community in her afflictions.
Dedication. On Thursday, of last week,
the new Odd Fellows' Temple, at Albany
was dedicated in due and ancient form, the
Grand Lodge of the state being in session at
the time. The excursion from this place
was not as grand a success as was expected,
m consequence of the continued rains.
Quite a number were prevented from at
tending, in consequence of bad weather.
The handsome steamer, A. A. McCully,
Capt. Jas. Miller, was in readiness at the
appointed time, the Second Brigade Band
discoursed lively music, and our streets pre
sented qnite a gala appearance, while the
" Three Linkers," in gorgeous regalia, gaily
marched to the wharf. The day, overhead,
proved very pleasant, and all who had the
pleasure of attending speak of the trip as a
very pleasant one. Business prevented us
from being amoug the happy crowd. This
has been an unfavorable month for pic nics,
excursions, etc.
The Sunny South. While we have been
drenched with rain and shivering with cold
in Webfoot land, the people of " sunny
Southern Oregon " are enjoying the same
luxuries, as will be seen from the following
" growl " in the Ashland Tidings of May
23d : The " oldest inhabitant " never saw
such spring weather in Rogue river valley
as we have been having for several weeks
past. Not a day without some rain, and a
temperature wnicn Kept one sniveling unless
near a good fire. It has been rather too
wet for grain, perhaps, but grass has been
growing prodigiously. A warm spell now
will make things whoop.
Gone North. The Jacksonville Sentinel
of the 21st -inst., says : " The family of J.
H. Penn left here on Thursday last for their
new home in Corvallis. They will be joined
by Mr. Penn in a few days, and we wish
them prosperity in their new location."
New Paper. Upon our table we find the
initial number of the Journal of Education,
published in Portland, Oregon, by A. A.
Bynoa, editor and proprietor. L. W. Mor
gan, business manager. " For the boys and
girls of Oregon, for the family and the
teacher." Good motto, and while devoted
to home school work deserves to be sustain
ed. It is a neat, well filled, ably edited
eight page journal, published semi-monthly,
at $1 50 per year. Send for specimen num
bers.
Touching Incident. In introducing
Rev. T. J. Wilson to the immense audience
at Corvallis College chapel, last Sabbath
morning, Prof. Emery could scarely refrain
from tears, while referring to the fact that
they twain had been school-mates together
at old Jefferson college, Penn., more than
twenty years ago. It seemed a mysterious
providence that brought them together un
der such peculiar circumstances, at this
time, in far on Oregon.
Annual Conference. The Fourth An
nual Conference of the Evangelical Associa
tion of North America, for Oregon, will
meet at the Evangelical church in this city,
on Wednesday, June 4th, 1879, and con
tinue over Sabbath. Preaching services
every evening, during the sitting of Confer
ence. The public are cordially invited to
attend the day sessions.
On the War Path. Last Friday Messrs.
C. E. and A. C. Staats, of Luckiamute,
Polk county, appeared at the office of B.
W. Wilson, county clerk of Benton, and
claimed the bounty for another cayote, kill
ed by them. These boys made the required
affidavits and deposited the scalp with the
county clerk. Parties on the subscription
list should pay in for this one, also the bal
ance on the other.
Steamer McCully. Thanks to Jas. D.
Miller, of the steamer A. A. McCully, for
special favors. Captain Miller ranks among
the pioneers of stemboating on the upper
Willamette, and is deservedly popular. The
McCully, until further notice, leaves Port
land for Corvallis on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Returning, leaves Corvallis on Wednesdays
and Mondays laying over Sunday at this
place.
J
Vi... 7 . ml A 11 T 1
ter of the 23d inst. , says : A letter received
in this city from Beaver creek,- 80 miles from
Prineville, dated May 16th, says a trapper
named Pendleton, from Harrisburg, was
found dead about 24 miles from that point,
just, before the letter was written, killed by
Indians. Deceased was an Odd Fellow,
and an Odd Fellow's pin was found fastened
to his clothing.
To Owners of Cows. I will purchase
cows of parties living in the city, who de
sire to buy milk of me, and pay for the same
m milk and cash. A. G. Mulkey.
Corvallis, May 27, 1879. w2
I. O. O. F. At a regular meeting of Bar
num Lodge No. 7, I. O. O. F., held last
Tuesday evening, the following officers were
elected to serve for term commencing July
1st : J. W. Williams, N. G. y W. S. Mc
Fadden, V. G. ; E. B. McElroy, H S. :
Jacob Webber, Treasurer.
THE BLUE RIBBON.
The Philomath Crucible, of the 23d inst.,
contains the following neat and complimen
tary notice of Mr. Calvin B. MacDonald's
lecture at that place, and "hits " the editor
of the Gazette a lick, as well i
On last Thursday evening, at the regular
meeting or tne rniiomatu Club, tne number
of members was augmented to one hundred
and thirty. The meeting was the most in
teresting of all the meetings, owing to the
fact that the club had secured the services
of some eminent orators and lecturers from
abroad. First comes mention of Hon. Calvin
B. MacDonald, the renowned temperance
advocate from Oakland, California. He is
worthy of all the applause he has received
from the press and all other exponents of
public opinion. He won the hearts of all ;
and the victim of drink could not but feel
that in this man, rescued from the throat of
the drunkard's hell, he had a friend and an
able counselor. One thins will make Mr.
MacDonald long remembered by his hearers J
and that is, he did not seek to amuse the
auditors by humor or wit at the drunkard's
expense, thus robbing the sin of half its
hideousness and maKing the drunkard won
der whether he ought to be proud or
ashamed of his vice. He was humorous,
verily ; but it was of a chaste and reiined
spirit. The people enjoyed it immensely.
The scholarship, the polish, and power of
the speaker's ideas commended them to the
student, many of whom were present. Hon.
W. B. Carter, the state printer, and editor
of the Carvallis Gazette came forward at
the acclamation of the people and made a
few very appropriate remarks. It is pleas
ant to listen to this gentleman ; because he
has been an old wheel-horse for temperance
in Benton county since the days of the pio
neers. He has never been silent upon that
question. We are glad to have a few such
men to honor, in our county and state elec
tions, with our suffrage. We are ready to
vow that we will hereafter find sober men
thus to honor, or we shall stay at home on
election day. These gentlemen have left an
enthusiasm here which we trust will not
soon die out. Good music was furnished for
the occasion by the choir.
Eloquent Sermon. One of the most im
pressive sermons that we have listened to
for many ti day, was the Baccalaureate ser
mon delivered by Rev. T. J. Wilson, of
Halsey, in the college chapel, last Sabbath
morning. All fh other services, in the
city, for that hour, being withdrawn, the
congregation was immense, and every one
felt amply repaid for the inconvenience of
being crowded. We have not the space to
attempt even a synopsis of the grand sermon
the theme of which was "The impending
crisis, and how to meet it, " founded upon the
words of Mordecai to Queen Esther, " And
who knoweth whether thou art come to the
kingdom for such a time as this ? " It was
followed, in the evening, by another touch
ing sermon, from the same eloquent lips.
Mr. Wilson is accomplishing a grand work
for the Master, and we rejoice to know that
his health has greatly improved, and that
he now bids fair for a long life of usefulness.
Empty Houses. The Salem Statesman of
the 22d inst., says : " Lots of empty houses
around town. " Better move a few of them
up to Corvallis, where houses are in great
demand. A dozen houses here, would find
occupants, immediately.
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE OSCAR.
In last March we announced the death ot little
Oscar Albert Dow, but the lines accompanying the
notice were misplaced, and the following have been
substituted, by request of the grief-stricken father.
Ed. Gazette.
Dear little Oscar, the fevered dream of life
Kor thee is past and dona forever,
And thou ha st tasted of the heavenly peace
Beyond death's dark and troubled river.
Thou can'st not see the tears are shed for thee ;
Thou can'st not hear the bitter weeping,
Nor count the bursting sighs are breathed in'vain
Under the locust tree where thou art sleeping.
Ah no ! above thy still and lowly bed
The wayward bee his course is winging,
And flowers will bloom, and long irreen grasses wave,
And sweet birds there be ever singing.
And thou below, dear one, shalt rest as sweet
As cradled on a mother's bosom,
And know no more of sin and pain and death,
Than bird and bee and tender blossom.
Dear, childish heart ; thou can'st not comfort them
Who weep their earthly idol perished ;
They can but mourn their child forever gone,
With all the happy hopes they cherished,
But if thy sinless spirit, freed of earth,
Looks down upon their bitter grieving.
Met h inks it niarveles they could wish thee lack
To life so little worth the living.
Ah well ! it matters little what we wish
The Uod has taken who had given ;
And neither sighs, nor tears, nor eager prayers
Can call thee earthward out of Heaven.

While living they were the joy of their

home can realize the severity of this heavy
affliction. The remembrance of one thought
brings consolation they died prepared
Alice desired "to depart and be with Christ,
which is better," and Annie felt, in death's
hour, that all was " well." May the living
heed well the voice of Providence, that they
too may die the death of the righteous.

Don't Forget It.
If you are troubled with nervousness are
disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel
out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely
conclude that you have the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. 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. White's Prairie Flower proves
itself the Great Liver Panacea. Its action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely won

and seventy -five cents.

What a truly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens
and oceans, and thousands of means for en
joyment. We can desire no better when in
perfect health ; but how often do the' majori
ty of people feel like giving it up disheart
ened, discouraged and worried out with dis
ease, when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain satis
factory proof that Green's August Flower
will make them as free from disease as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complanint is
the direct cause of seventy-five per cent of
such maladies as ' Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness. Nervous Pros

toms. Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles,

The undersigned physicians of Albany, having
seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex
plained, together with the chemicals used, will say,
that as used, we do not consider there is any danger
to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap
paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav
ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva
tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat
ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona
ble, and we can assign no cause why the process
should not prove a success.
