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.

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 :

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

pearances Mr. Burke had been chopping a
tree, which, evidently, fell in a contrary
direction from that expected, causing the
death of himself and daughter. A neigh
Jbor discovered their situation, and gave the
'alarm.

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 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

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,

healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need be

meat, fish, butter, etc., that has been kept several
weeks by this "process," and believe that its claims
to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and
