Senator from Oregon, arrived in the stage from Albany. Private business prevented Hon. John Whiteaker M. C. , from accompanying him. Upon his arrival, the reception committee waited upon him, when he modestly, but hrmly. declined any public reception. Sta ting that be had not come for any such pur pose, but simply to learn the wants of his constituents in Benton. He desired to con verse freely with our citizens, and employ all his time, which was limited, in this way. As soon as his presence at the parlors of the Vincent House became known, a steady stream of old time friends oontinued to visit him during the afternoon, aud until 10 o'clock in the evening. Arrangements had been made for his enter tainment and conveyance to the Yaquina Bay. Thursday he spent in visiting a brother-in-law, Mr. Jos. Gray, a few miles west of Corvallis, and this morning, at 6 o'clock, himself and party started for Yaquina Bay in a carriage. Of the trip we will have re port for our next issu". The Senator is in excellent health, but has grown a trifle gray since his residence in Corvallis which dated from 1853 to about 1862. His previous en gagements make it necessary for him ro re turn from the Bay on Monday, so that it will be impracticable for him to visit the Alsea and Siletz as he desired. It is to be hoped that Mr. "Whiteaker will be abie yet to make us a visit before returning to Washington. Committek of Receptiox. The commit tee appointed, some month's since by the citizens of this place, to look alter the har bor of refuge question, had a meeting, la -1 Monday afternoon, upon call of the chair in n, Hon. Judge Burnett, at the railroad office. Dr. Bayley presided, in the absence of the chairman. The object of the meet ing was to provide for the reception of Hons. Jas. Slater and John Whiteaker, our Senator and Representative in Congress, who are expected here about this time, for the purpose of making a trip to the Yaquina Bay to examine that harbor, so that they may be able to represent our coast interests when they return to Washington. A com mittee of five, consisting of Hon. Judge Burnett, Hon. F. A. t henoweth, Dr. J. R. Bayley, B. W. Wilson, Esq., and W. B Carter, were appointed a committee of re ception, and also of escort to our distin guished visitors. The claim of Yaquina Bay, as a port of entry, has been already too long neglected, by which the commercial interests of the entire Willamette valley, have suffered. Messrs. Slater and Whitea ker, propose to look after our interests, for which they will receive the thanks of the people. Too Cold. Last Thursday our citizens were on constant and expectant suspense in consequence of the repeated assertion of one of the " social lights" of the city that he would, with his own hand, end his brief but brilliant career ; that he would bathe his fevered brow beneath the cold and chill ing waves of the turbulent Willamette ; that life was a burden that he could not aud would not bear ; that he could not live without her ; that he could not endure the usual scenes of life as they only reminded him of ; that the sad moaning of the wind, the singing of the innocent birds, the rustling of the leaves of the trees, tin screeching of the door on its hinges, only whispered her name ; that the fishes of the beautiful Willamette should gambol about his stiffening remains and the iud-turtle build its house amid his waving locks ; that the morning would shine through the willows and find him forever at rest. The water was too cold, and he still lives. Wonderful Cure. Last summer, while we were at Newport, Dr. H. S. Brewer, of Albany, late of Chicago, arrived in a very feeble state of health ; and as he expessed it. " come there to die. " He was suffering with what other physicians pronounced " heart disease," last stages, although he had not been ill very long. Upon hearing of how Mr. J. Surman had benefitted us by his treatment. Dr. Brewer sought an inter view with him and arrangements were at once made, so that Dr. B. and wife went immediately to Mr. Surman's place. Tiie Doctor remained some six weeks, and now returns, apparently, a sound man. He gave ns a call, last Wednesday morning, in fine health and excellent spirits. He says Mr. Surman, by his hydropathic treatment, beats ail the doctors. This is a testimonial worth something, coming from a regular practicing physician. Mr. Koehler's Visit. Last Monday Mr. Koehler, President of the Oregon Cen tral (weatside) railroad company, paid Cor vallis a business visit. Mr. K. conversed freely with some of our leading citizens, and took a good view of the city, remaining over till Tuesday noon. There was so meet ing of the City Council, and, consequently, no decisive steps were taken in the matter of locating the track through the city, de pot grounds, etc. Mr. Koehler has the mat ter under advisement, and in the meantime will order a farther survey of sixth street, after which he will make another proposi tion to the people of Corvallis. Work on the road is being pushed with all possible dispatch. Coming Back. Last Saturday Mr. John Stewart and wife, Minor S wick and family, and L. F. Wilson and family returned from Prine viile. They all come to stay. Messrs. Stewart and S wick have been absent some seven years. They all seem glad to get back to Webfoot, and we are night glad to welcome them all back. Senator Slator registered at the Vincent Mouse, last Wednesday. Nice lot of spring chickens for Sunday, at tne ralace market dressed. J. J. Flett, of the Roseburg Star, arrived m the city last evening, en route to the fair Fall and winter styles just received, from flew York, at Mrs. E. A. Knight s.

Would le pleased to have the ladies call and see them. 16:39w2 Y"m Kipur, day of atonement, was gen erally observed by the Hebrews of this place. Places of business were climed at 6 P. M. on Friday and remained closed till 6:30 P. M. on Saturday. Sam. Robinson, the jolly and genial man ager of Miller & Richard's paper ware house, in Portland, gave us a pleasant call, last week, accompanied by VV. H. Mansfield, Esq., of the Valley Fountain. Messrs. Chenoweth & Johnson, of this place, have been appointed agents of The Ore.-ou and Washington Colony Land Com pany. See ad. next week, which was crowd ed out.

Wood, wheat, and all kinds of country produce received on sub scription to Gazette. Wm. Mc Willis, traveling agent for Mc- Murray's steamers and strainers, having completed the canvass of Linn and Lane counties, is now operating in Benton. He wa3 canvassing this city last Monday. We have examined these little kitchen conven iences, and find them just what the ladies need, hence their rapid sale. State Fair. Last Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, we had copious showers, and the prospects for moUture were not favorable for the State Fair. But on Wednesday the clouds cleared away, and the prospects for good weather, up to the hour of going to press, are encouraging. - It is sincerely hoped that the weather may prove favorable, as the fairs for the two past years have been almost failures in consequence of the rough weather, and the Society has necessarily in curred heavy debts, which a successful fair would probably liquidate. We expect to go down the first of the week. A telegram from Salem to the Oregonian, says : " No postponement on account of weather, but the fair may be continued through next week as they must have Grant and good weather. " What is it ? While Messrs. Gerber and Donohue were excavating a cistern on Main street, last Monday, they discovered, about thirteen feet below the surface, imbedded in clay, what appears to be a portion of an immense tooth, probably that of a masta don, or some other monstrous animal. Por tions of it may be seen at the office of Messrs. Wrenn & Holgate. We understand a portion has been submitted to President Arnold for examination. Some scientist might find something of interest in this specimen. Who can tell us all about it ! French Wheat. Last Tuesday, Mr. Chas. Thompson, who lives about eight miles southwest of this city, left with us a sample of very fine fall wheat, (French) which he claims is free from rust, while other kinds, on the same kind of ground and similar culture, is subject to rust. The yield of this wheat, last year, averaged forty-nine pounds to the bushel. This year it was not quite so heavy, bnt yielded well and filled handsomely. Sample can be seen at our officec for seed wheat, our farmers should procure the best in the market. Experiments demonstrate which kinds are best adapted to our climate and soils. Too Late. We are in receipt of a hand somely printed invitation to be present at the Sau Francisco Chronicle press rooms, on the evening of Sept. 29, to witness the working of the new presses of that mam moth establishment. The capacity of these presses are stated to be 33,000 copies per hour. As our invitation did not reach ns until the 30th, of course we could not very well be present on time. Hope, at some future day, to have the pleasure of visiting the establishment, however. The Russian Court invited Dr. Ayer and his family to the Aichduke's wedding in the Royal Palace. This distinction was award ed him not only because he was an Ameri can, bnt also because his name as a physi cian had become favorably known in Russia on its passage round the world. Pueblo Cat.) People. .Notice. I wish to inform the people of Corvallis, and vicinity, that becoming a partner in the livery stable, will not inter fere with my business in- the contracting and building line, which will be conducted as heretofore. J. R. Lomer. Corvallis, Sept 23, 1879. 16:39w4 THE NEW MINISTER On last Sabbath regular services were re sumed in the M. E. church, in this -city, Rev. Mr. Chapman, the newly appointed minister, having arrived on Saturday. Notwithstanding the brevity of the notice of service, quite a large congregation was present. The minister read some very ap propriate passages of Scripture, and after singing and prayer, announced his text : Nehemiah 4:6 " So built we the wall ; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof ; for the people had mind to work." .Although disclaiming any intention of preaching a regular sermon, Mr. Chapman's remarks were exceedingly appropriate and well timed. After reciting sufficient of the interesting history of the captivity of the Jews and the rebuilding of the wall, to an swer his purpose, his application of the sub ject to the present state the Christian Church, indicated clear thought and diligent research. He vividly portrayed the strik ing analogy between the broken down wall around Jerusalem, at the time mentioned, and the present condition of the Christian church, and clearly indicated the duty of each individual Christian in the present important crisis of true Christianity. He showed the necessity of each church mem ber, no matter of what denomination, facing his own task, and performing it with a hear ty good will ; and in so doing he would have no time for criticizing his neighbor's work or faultfinding. The great need, now, is united, persistent, self -sacrifiicing labor for the Master. To this he pledged himself, and urged every church member to do the same. His appeals were so earnest and warm-hearted that they could not fail of a hearty response from every sincere. Chris tian heart. If this "pvopie have a mind to work, " we doubt not great good will be accomplished the coming year in Corvallis, as Mr. Chapman desires the co-operation of all the churches in building the walk NEW COUNTRY. The Portland Bei, of the 18th inst., con tains the following cheering words relative to the railroad survey from Astoria to Forest Grove, and the rich agricultural lands to be opened thereby : The railroad survey of the proposed nar row gauge road from Astoria to Forest Grove is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, aud will be completed, lne Held notes will show that the route is not only practicable, but easy of construction the most difficult part being Saddle Mountain, which can be avoided by a little grading. The road will open up a section of country unsurpassed in richness of soil in the Wil lamette valley. About twenty miles back of Forest Grove, over an easy ascent and good road, the most desirable land is to be found. A section of country lying between Clear creek and the Nehalem, and which was once a lake, caused by a beaver dam, contains land that for richness cannot be excelled. It is covered with a light growth of brush or willow, which can be cleared off at the rate of an acre a day. On Tuesday last, Captain Uurkhardt. who has explored the whole of the Nehalem valley, accom panied by six men, went out to Clear creek to locate claims, lhere will be enough land left for a few more settlers, and the first who may arrive. Such land, within hailing distance of market, eannot remain vacant any great length of time, and the first men to visit that section and locate will be the lucky ones. New this Week. Bread from Rusty Whe.t. Having partaken of bread made from rusty wheat, we are in a position to speak of it from actual experience. The bread is not quite so white ps that made from other wheat, but it is just as sweet, and satisfies hunger just as well. Albany Kegtster. 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 aud 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-five cents and seventy five cents. BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP can now be purchased right at home, it is the most successful preparation ever introduced to our people. It works like a charm in all cases of Consumption, Pneumonia, Hemor rhages, Asthma, severe Coughs, Croup and all other Throat and Lung Diseases. No person has ever used this medicine without getting immediate relief, yet there are a great many poor, suffering, skeptical per sons going about our streets with a suspi cious cough, and the voice of consumption coming from their lungs, that will not try it. If you die. it is your own fault, as you can go to your Druggist and get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it ; three doses will relieve any case. Regular size only 75cts. Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from active 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 for General 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.

It is harmless, yet effica cious, and a complete medicine chest in it self. As they say in the advertisements : No family should be without it.
