HOME AGAIN-
Last Saturday, at noon, we returned home
after a five weeks visit to Yaquina Bay,
breathing the fresh invigorating breezes of
"old ocean" and receiving hydropathic treat
ment at the hands of Mr. J. Surman. We
were greatly improved by our trip, but on
Monday afternoon became quite ill, and
have not been able to give much attention to
business, or editorial duties up to this ( Wed
nesday) afternoon. We are continuing the
hydropathic treatment, and hope to be ready
for regular duty in a few days. Our arrival
relieved ad intirim, and hence a dearth of
editorial this week. Hope to do better here
after. It is no easy matter to come down
to "regular work" after a a few weeks holi
day. We return thanks to the numerous
friends who hive so kindly looked after the
interests of the Gazette during our ab

LOSS OF A VALUABLE HORSE.
Mr. W. C. Myer met with a heavy loss
last Monday morning in the death of his
fine Percheon horse "Pride of Perche."
This was one of the finest Percheon horses
in the country, and sold at public auction
just after landing from the ocean voyage for
$3,070. He was then untried, and the pur
chaser would, of course, run some risk in in
vesting the money. Consequently, after
proving his worth, his value must have been
greatly increased, and he was probably
worth to Mr. Myer nearly twice the price
mentioned above. Mr. Myer has expended
a large amount of money in his endeavors
to introduce improved stock in Oregon, and
iias met witn serious losses, which were
enough to dishearten any man of ordinary
presistence and hope; but the most discour
aging feature of the mstter the evidence
that there is a presistent effort to injure Mr.
Myer and his stock, which does not stop
short of the bastardly crime of killing the
horses. Doctors Chitwood aud Royal were
called and made an examination of the body
of the horse immediately after death, and
both agree in the conclusion that his death
was caused from the effects of poison which
was administered some time previously in a
dose sufficient to cause sure, but not imme
diate death.
We have before alluded to this continued
determination to disparage this stock in Ore
gon, and the evidence we have heard proves
beyond a reasonable doubt that a u umber of
colts from Myers' horses, owned by himself
and others, have been stealthily killed for
the pnrpose of creating the impression that
the stock is not hardy. Anyone who will
take the trouble to look beyond the limits
of Oregon in investigating the matter, to
where the stock has been long years of trial,
will be convinced that any efforts to dis
credit the stock in this particular can meet
with but temporary success, as the testimo
ny npon the matter which we published
from the Live Stock Journal, a short time
since, abundadtly proves. Ashland Tidings.

In this city, August 21th. 1879, of paral
ysis of the heart Judson Sherman Palmer.
Mr. Palmer was born in Marietta county,
Ohio in April, 1831. In 1854 he Came to
the Pacific coast, stopping in Salt Lake City
until the spring of 1855. He then went to
California, where he remained until 1858,
when he removed to Oregon, and located in
Benton County, where he has ever since re
sided. In June, 1868 he was elected Sher
riff of Benton County which office he held
continuously until June 1876, when he was
elected as the Joint Senator for Benton and
Polk Counties, which office he held at the
time of h'n death. On the 25th day of Aug
ust, 1667 be was marrid to Miss Sylvia But
terficld of this city, and just twelve years
afterwards, in the same room where they
were married, his encoffined remains lay
awaiting the tomb.
Of hi early life we know but little, but
for twenty-one years be has been in our
midst, and during that time he has made
hosts of friends. Mr. Palmer had his fanlts
(who of us have not) but the worst side was
always out. He possessed a warm, gener
ous heart, and no case of poverty or distress
ever appealed to him in vain. He was a
devoted, loving husband, kind and affec
tionate father, obliging neighbor and
steadfast friend. The large funeral proces
sion was evidence of the estee-n in which he
was held by the community. He was buri
ed with Masonic honors, Rev. Jos. Emery
delivering the funeral sermon, and he now
sleeps in the beautiful Crystal Lake cemetery.
