DIRECT TO ALSEA BAY ON CASTEEL RAILS THE PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY. The great question agitating the minds of scientists as to the value of Casteel rails is set at rest in the mind of your reporter. Last Monday a week ago, he and a friend took a run to Alsea Bay we went on Cas teel rails. Setting out from Corvallis m the morning, the first station reached is En land Mr. James H, Russell has a neat dwelling house and an excellent farm there He took us to his house to dine with him, entertained ns sumptuously and tried to in duce us to stay longer. Mrs. ft. is a good housekeeper. The next station is New Brunswick Mr. Trenholm lives there. He and his wife know how to take care of strangers. Thence we hastened on to Bus. sellville. Several families inhabit this town. We were royally entertained by Messrs. Russell and Peak. Their wives are intelligent, cultivated and refined. Here we took boat and went down the Alsea riv er to the bay. Along the route are lands in a high state of cultivation ; also thousands of acres of unimproved soil. One remark as to the people in general. They are kind, generous and hospitable ; they take pleasure in welcoming strangers. I was an entire stranger did not introduce myself as reporter of the Gazette and, nevertheless, received all the attention that a Gazette man could have expected. Tha general impression upon a stranger is, that the people are well-to-do and happy. Reporter. CL08E OF SCHOOL. The North Corvallis District School, Prof. Ladru Royal principal, and Mrs. S. A. Royal, assistant, closed a very pleasant, profitable, and successful year, or ten months, last Friday afternoon. In connection with a large number of the parents and patrons of the school, we had the pleasure of being present at the closing exercises, which consisted of vocal and instrumental music, declamations, recitations, readings, dialogues, class exer cises, etc., by the pupils. Although not intended as an "exhibition," of what the scholars could do, with training, was very creditable to pupils and more than satisfac ry to all present. Some of the " little ones," especially, deserve special mention, but time and space forbids. Following the exercises, were appropriate and well timed remarks by Prof. Royal, followed by short, pointed, live addresses by Profs. McElroy, Jfl. A. Milner and E. Woodward, School Director. The editor of, the Gazette, in connection with the prima ry class, received a "reward of merit," or something to that effect, in the shape of a neat little card, containing the roll of honor of the primary department, but failing to find his name inscribed among the "good" little boys and girls, has concluded to pub lish the roll of honor, for the past term, as follows : Bayley, Mary Brock, Mollie Brown, Chistiue Duncan, Clara Gerharl, Katie Gerhard, Mary Green, Zula Green, Leon Heanel. Amelia Lewis, Edith Paul, Lillie Paul, George Collins, Charley Rowland, Frank Mrs. S. Rowland, Willie Grubbs, Frank Young, Charles Young, Wiley Gray, John Sykes, Samuel Sykes, Joseph Witham, Elvin Witham, Edward Brock, Russel Allen, Henry Thompson, John Atwood, Charles A. Royal, Teacher. Complete Vindication. We are in re ceipt of a 16-page pamphlet published by E. M. Waite, Salem, which is a full and com plete vindication of Rev. T. W. Spanswick, More than a score of affidavits, from per sons belonging to different churches, and from those who belong to no church, residing" at or near Lodi, Cal,, where his enemies claiiaed that his " wicked" transac tions occurred, are produced to show the entire falsity of the charges, and also to prove that his character is unimpeachable. No unprejudiced person can read these affi davits without being convinced that the as saults upon Mr. Spanswick were of the most malicious character, and all good peo pie will rejoice at his vindication. Coming. In response to an invitation tendered by the committee, Capital Guards, of Salem, one of the finest military organize tions on the coast, have signified their inten tinn of coming to Corvallis on the Fourth. The Guards are a fine body of young men, well drilled and handsomely uniformed, and will be an attractive feature in the proces sion and at the ball. Invitations were also extended to the various tire companies of the capital, but as yet none have decided to come, as an organization. It is expected that the popular steamer Willamette Chief, Captain Baughman, will leave Salem at 5:30 on the morning of the Fourth, arriving at this city about 10. If this arrangement with the steamer is consummated, we may look out for an immense concourse of visitors from that point and intermediate landings. Sad Acctdeht. A Mr. Burke, and only ter, were killed between Fort Stevens Skipanon, Clatsop county, on the 7th ., by the falling of a tree.

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 wpn derful. Try it. Price twenty-five cents and seventy-live cents. Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from aetive 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 fortJeneral 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 paper.. Dr. J. C.

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 ny the chemicals, as usea in the manner maicat ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona ble, and we can assign no cause why the process should npt prove a success, J A Davis, M.
