SCHOOL REPORTS.
The school at the Pleasant Valley school
house closed a three month's term on Satur
day, June 28th, which term commenced
April 8th. The roll of honor stands as fol
lows : Anna Wells, 100 ; Wm. Gellatly, 97;
Price Wells, 97 ; Mary Gellatly, 92 ; Jane
Gellatly, 91 ; Delia Gellatly, 90 ; Olive Al
len, 88 ; Jasper Allen, 87 ; John Gellatly,
87 ; Mary Wells, 85 ; Katie Wells, 82 ;
John Wells, 82.
The attendance this term was small, how
ever the number of children in the district
are few ; hardly enough to make an inter
esting school. But the interest and benefit
of small schools like this and also of all
schools, large or small, might be greatly in
creased if the directors and patrons of the
school would take a deeper interest in the
working of the school, and in the educa
tion and advancement of their children for
success or failure of whose lives they arc in
a great measure responsible. If they would
give the teacher encouragement and aid in
the many ways that they might, the schools
would 1 e much more interesting and profit
able. As suggestions on these points might
be given that : Parents should send all
their children that are of a proper age, even
if they have work to do i certainly when
there is only from three to six mont'is of
school during the year they should have the
benefit of that. They should endeavor to
have them there every day there is school,
for every lesson missed is a link lost that
can never be recovered. They should give
the tciicher their sympathy, and be careful
never to make a discouraging remark rela
tive to him Or her, or the work of the
school, before their children, for the spirit
exhibited by the parent is nearly sure to be
carried out by the child. But if anything be
wrong go to the teacher, and to him or her
alone, or with other patrons or directors of
the school. They should visit the school
often and note the working and mode of
conducting thereof, and have some encour
aging word to say to the pupils. And above
all, parents, do not try to think that your
children are not learning anything, and if
you do think so do not let them know it,
but encourage them to work harder to learn;
and before you give the teacher all the
blame and shower censure on him, just look
into matters a little. Many other sugges
tiouns might be made, but a hint to people
of sense ought to be sufficient. Very re
spectfully submitted, C. L. Bennett.
. Closing exercises of school at Union
school house, Dist. No. 13, E. H. Eennett,
teacher.
The exercises before noon were the regu
lar recitations. The most interesting part
began with the dinner, which was eaten put
of doors after the fashion of a pic nic dinner.
We arrived just in time to get our name in
the pot, soon enough, however, to help ar
range the tables, by way of apology for late
arrival. It is needless to say that this part
of the programme was entered into with
hearty good will and no less good appetites.
After partaking of refreshments " ye boys''
engaged in a game of pitching quoits, while
the representatives of the opposite sex were
clearing the tables.
At the ringing of the bell we all, like
obedient children, took our seats in the
larpe commodious house. A declamation of
welcome was delivered by Mary Newton.
The next was a reading, by Clara Bohanon,
" The Baby's First Tooth," which was quite
well read. Then came a dialogue between
Mary Newton and Mary Davis, followed by
short declamations by Charley and Otto Al
len, who were about the youngest pupils of
the school. The next was a selection read
by Frank Davis, entitled " Father Abbey's
Will," in which the " old gentleman " left
all nis possessions, from the "old muskrat "
to the " old gray cat," to his " dear wife.'
The next was a declamation by Bertie Da
vis, " short and sweet, that's the kind ! "
Beading by Nanny Stout, followed by a dia
logue, " The Child's Wishes," by Mary Da
vis, Mary Aewton, Nanny Stout and Clara
Bohanon. The next was a reading by C.
Stout, entitled "Selling a Coat;" the
would-be clerk sold the " boss " a coat in
spite of Ijimself ; too good a salesman to let
go. The selection was well read and pro
voked considerable merriment. Then came
a dialogue between Laura Bohanon and Mar
garet Newton. The "lady" who was the
subject of discussion would pet and fondle
a lap dog while her twins were in the care of
another woman in the country, because it
was not considered " lady like " to be seen
with a child in her arms. Which is of most
value, child or dog ? The discussion ended
in favor of the child, against the custom of
fashionab e society. Next was a declama
tion by Diana Newton, followed by a song
by the school, after which was a select read
ing by Rufus Bohanon, and a declamation
by Frank Davis. The piece entitled "The
Travelers " was well read by Margaret New
ton ; it was rather the best reading exercise
of the day. After this "The Modern
Belle " was read by Mary Davis, m a very
satisfactory manner. The last and most
pleasing exercise of the pupils was a dia
logue, "The Novel Readers," spoken and
acted by Mary Newton, Clara Bohanon and
Diana Newton. The dialogue was executed
in a manner that would do honor to any of
the several high school exhibitions we have
heard. "Father Phil's Collection" was
read by the teacher.
There were nineteen visitors present
among whom were the directors of the dis
trict and a number of the patrons of the
school. About three oclock, the exercises
being at an end, the school and company
dispersed. spectator.

Corvallis was highly favored on the
Fourth, as usual. Drenching ruins occurred,
both north and south of us, while we did
not have enough to soil or damage light
dresses. Happy Corvallis.
The only accidents that we heard of here,
on the 4th, was the young man, Cole, being
thrown from his horse ami badly injured,

Among the numerous visitors in our city,
on the 4th, was Miss Libbie Brown, former
ly a teacher in the North District school, of
this place, but now a teacher in the Astoria
Public school. Slie has been employed for
another year. Miss Brown was a universal
favorite here, aud she seems no les3 so, in
Astoria.
We have received the second number of
the Welcome i-tranger, published by Wrenn
& Holgate, Corvallis. It is neatly printed,
contains much interesting matter, and has a
large amount of instruction as to the best
places to obtain homes of all kinds. Salem
Mercury.
The Corvallis saw-mill closed down last
Monday evening, in consequence of some
accident to the machinery, portions of which
had to be sent below for repairs. One saw
mill will scarcely be able to supply the de
mand for lumber in this city. Good open
ing for another.
Col. Hogg arrived home from San Fran
. last Saturday, and returned to Port
land on Tuesday, of this week, to make ar
rangements for shipping the iron and roll
ing stock of the XV. V. & C. R. R. upon its
arrival in Portland to this place, provided
the river iB not too low. Should it be found
impractacable to ship by boat, we think
there is good prospect for being able to ship
by the west side railroad before the summer
is ended.
Changing Machinery. The Portland
Bee, of the 3d inst., has the following rela
tive to two favorite boats on the upper Wil
lamette river : " The steamer City of Sa
lem has hauled in alongside the Ohio at the
levee on Front street, near Taylor, where
the boiler and machinery of the former will
be transferred to the latter. The Salem has
new engines now en route from the East, a
new and larger boiler will be placed in po
sition and when thoroughly overhauled will
be one of the fastest boats on the Upper
Willamette. The Ohio, which is the only
light-draught boat on the upper river, will,
when she again takes her route, be as good
Printing Material. We learn from the
Portland Daily Bee that Miller & Richard,
of Scotland, type founders, propose to es
tablish a branch house in Portland, with
Mr. Samuel Robinson as manager. They
will kep everything in the printing line, at
reasonable prices. This will be a great con
venience to the printers of Oregon and
Washington Territory. This firm will im
mediately put up a $2,600 fast power press
for the Bee office. This indicates a rapid in
crease of business for the Bee.
Hotel Burned. Last Friday, 4th inst.,
about noon, the Comstock House, in Alba
ny, was discovered to be on fire, and before
the engines could arrive the fire was beyond
control, and the building was reduced to
ashes. A portion of the furniture was
saved. In consequence of scarcity of water
it was with great difficulty that the depot
and large warehouse were saved. There
was some insurance, but what amount we
are not informed. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a defective flue, and
caught in the second story. A large number
of the firemen, and many citizens of Albany
were in Corvallis at the time, and were star
tled by ajdispatch bearing the startling intel
ligence. The dinner station of the trains,
north and south, has been changed to Berry's
Hotel, at Junction, as of yore.
Railroad Contractor. Mr. M. T.
Ward, contractor on the Westside road,
gave us a pleasant call, last Tuesday morn
ing, subscribed for the Gazette and left an
order for some job work. This, to us, was
the first direct fruits of the approaching
railroad. At that time the graders were
within four miles of Corvallis in the Locke
neighborhood. The farmers, along the line,
find a ready market for butter, eggs, chick
ens, beef, pork, etc. Mr. Ward says there
will be plenty of time this fall, after com
pleting the Westside road to this place, to
grade the entire line to Yaquina Bay, and
that he will obligate himself to do it, if the
company will give him the contract at rea
sonable figures.
Poisoned by Succotash. A Boise city
paper of late date says : On Sunday, the
loth inst., at dinner, five of the members of
the family of Rev. A. J. Joslyn were poi
soned by eating canned succotash. Mrs. Jos
lyn and one of the little girls were exceed
ingly sick for several hours. Three of the
children who did not taste the succotash,
were not affected. The symptoms seemed
to be those of antimonial poisoning, and re
storatives were administered accordingly
with relief to the patients. The succotash
was put up by the firm of J. B. Brinkley &
Son, Baltimore, Maryland.
Great Mistake. The party who invaded
Mr. Wm. Dixon's potato patch, one night
last week, made a sad mistake and dug the
late instead of the e..rly potatoes. It took
thirty-two hills to produce a moderate mess,
when two hills of the early ones would have
yielded as many. Mr. D. says he has no
objections to giving the fellow a row, if he
is really in need, but he don't like to have
his whole patch dug over at this season of
the year. A double-barrelled shot gun
would be a very good thing to mark such
rogues with. Why not try it, friend Dix
on. - .

New Officers. The annual election of
officers of Young America Engine Company,
No 1, for the ensuing year, occurred last
Saturday evening, 5th inst. , with the follow
ing result : President, J. R. Bryson ; Vice
Pres't, M. S. Woodcock ; Recording Secre

Is It True ? The Salem Statesman, of
the 6th inst., says :
"Some of the boys complain of being
charged exhorbitant prices at Corvallis, hav
ing to pay as high as 3 for a single bed at
the hotel."
Why not be a little more specific, and
give the name of the hotel, as well as the
" boys." We have but three hotels in Cor
vallis, and it would require positive proof to
convince us that either of the Corvallis
landlords would be guilty of anything so
mean and contemptible. Let us have the
names, by all means.
Found. A lady's shawl was picked up in
the court house square, on the 4th, and left
at this office which the owner can have by
proving property and paying for this notice.
Also, on the mornintr of the 5th, part of a
lady's earring, which the owner can have by
proving property and paying for this notice.
p Sad Day. Two deaths occurred in Salem
on Snnday, the 28th of June, .Mrs. Sarah
M. Hyde and Mrs. Ella Ford Robinson, of
consumption. Mrs. Robinson was a gradu
ate of the Medical Department of the Wil
lamette University, and had been married
only a few months. All that skillful at
tendance and tender nursing' could do, were
of no avail. Surely " death loves a shining
mark."
Lost. On the Fourth, in this city, a la
dy's gold cuff pin. It is valued as a keep
sake, and the finder will confer a great favor
by leaving the same at this office. 16:28w2.
Nor Dead. Notwithstanding the an
nouncement in some of our exchanges, of
the death of young Cole, who was thrown
from his horse and severly injured, on the
4th, we are glad to be able to state that he
is still alive, and in a fair way to recover.
State Fair. E. M. Waite, Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society, announces
that the time for commencing the State
Fair has been fixed for Wednesday, Oct.
1st, 1879, and will continue until the 9th
or 10th.
Rather Queer Addition. The Inde
pendence River Side is responsible for the
following, but the editor is pardonable, as
the paper was dated on the 4th of July :
" Prof. D. T. Stanley has unroofed his
dwelling house, and is making other addi
tions thereto."
Too Late. We were promised an ad
vance proof-sheet of the report of the com
mencement exercises of Philomath College,
in time for our last week's issue of the Ga
zette. The report came to hand by Thurs
day's mail, last week, after our issue had
been worked off. Why the delay, we are
not informed. The report, at this late day,
would be like a last year's bird's nest out
of date, and for this reason, we do not pub
lish it.
On Trial. The Portland Bee of the 7th
inst. , has the following : " Ah Lee, the vil
lainous looking Chinaman arrested for the
murder of a Christian Chinaman in the Joss
House is now on trial in the Circuit Court.
Charley Lee Quong is present and takes in
every sentence and cesture. and as he is in
the same boat with Ah Lee, w naturally
anxious.
FOURTH AT TOLEDO
Ed. Gazette : You have a goodly list of
subscribers to your excellent paper in this
vicinity, and as " everybody " was not at
our pic nic and celabration, perhaps the pro
gramme and how it passed off would be in
teresting. The whole affair was projected and car
ried to a successful termination through the
exertions of our excellent school mistress,
Miss Mary M. De Vore, of Albany, for the
benefit and edification of her school and any
persons who chose to participate, and all
agree that too much praise cannot be be
stowed on that lady for the energy she ex
hibited. A flag-pole was raised and the
" Stars and Stripes," God bless them, flung
to the breeze, amid loud shouts for the
American Uuion. There was no mistaking
the Union sentiment among that multitude.
Mr. J. Thompson was previously chosen
president of the day, but owing to the se
vere indisposition of his wife could not be
present. Mr. Wm. Mackay acted as such,
and filled the office successfully, notwith
standing his well-known " extreme modes
ty." Mr. Walter Huffard, of Toledo, deliv
ered the oration, which was to the point,
and very interesting. Katie Mackay (7
years old) as "Goddess of Liberty," made a
very pretty appearance, clothed in pure
white and crowned with a wreath of beauti
ful, fresh, fragrant flowers. May her life
always be as pure and spotless as she ap
peared on that day.

Mr. Editor, it would have filled your ben
evolent heart full to overflowing to have
heard the children deliver their pieces and
sing the beauti'nl son.s selected for the oc
casion. They acquitted themselves with
credit, showing the careful training they
had previously received. The table was
bountifully supplied with substautials and
delicacies ; each child received a sack full of
candy and nuts, and the older ones the nuts
and candy without the sacks.

Funeral. Mr. James M. Yantis, an old
pioneer of Linn county, and father of Jas.
A Yantis and Mrs. B. W. Wilson, died
yesterday morning, at the residence of B.
W. Wilson, in this city. Funeral from the
Presbyterian church at 10 a. m. to-day, Fri

An Old Pioneer Gone. Wm. Bilyeu,
one of the oldest citizens of Linn county,
died at his residence near Scio recntly, aged
80 years. He was perhaps the ancestor of
the most numerous family in Oregon the
Bilyeu's reaching over a hundred in number,
nearly all of whom reside on the forks of
the Santiam. We deeply sympathize with
his large circle of relatives and friends, and
shall attempt to secure a more succinct obit
uary of the good old man at an early day.
Peace to his ashes. Albany Democrat.
Our Visitors. The Salem Town Talk,
in referring to the 4th of July excursion,
says : " After listening to oration by Gov.
Thayer, the Firemen and Capital Guards
were then treated to good square meals fur
nished by the citizens of Corvallis. The ex
cursionists were treated sumptuously by the
citizens and enjoyed the day to the utmost.
We thank the citizens of Corvallis for their
kindness and hope some day to return the
favors."
The Albany Democrat says : Last week
a Mrs. Grisham, living at Brownsville, made
an attempt to take her own life. She took
a large dose of morthine, and then wrote a
note telling her husband what she had done
and asking him to take care of their child
ren, and then pinning it to her breast laid
down to die. Fortunately she was discov
ered in time and saved. The cause of her
rash act can only be surmised.
Wednesday night a fire broke out in Lut
trell's butcher shop at Lebanon, and before
the citizens could extinguish the flames the
butcher shop, Bercaw & Gilmour's saloon,
the post office and Charley Harmon's barber
shop were burned to the ground. Nothing
was saved in the first two buildings, but
considerable was taken out of the others.
It was the work of an incendiary, and the
citizens are hard at work ferreting out the
scoundrel.

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
derful. Try it. Price twenty-live cents
and seventy-five cents.
Ask Yourself these Questions.
Are you a despondent sufferer from Sick
Headache, Habitual Costiveness, Palpita
tion of the Heart ? Have you Dizziness of
the Head ? Is your Nervous System de-
Sressed? Does your Blood circulate badly ?
lave you a Cough ? Low Spirits ? Com
ing up of the food after eating ? &., &. All
of these and much more are the direct re
sults of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and
Indigestion. Green's August Flower is
now acknowledged by all Druggists to be a
positive cure. 2,400,000 bottle were given
away in the U. S. through Druggists to the
people as a trial. Two doses will satisfy

Albany, April 20, 1870.
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.

The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon,
having had explained to us Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , can say that there is nothing un- (
healthy about it, as used, and that no fears need bo
apprehended on that account. We have also se jn
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
fresh can be sustained. H. Grbbn, M. D.,
