EDUCATIONAL LECTURE-
Hon. L. J. Powell, State Superintendent
'of Public Instruction, gav; a lecture on edu
tational matters, at the College, on Tuesday,
26th inst. The speaker dwelt upon the im
portance of Institute work, and the special
education of teachers, stating that he was
here in the interests of a Teachers' District
and County Institute to be held in Corvallis
during the holidays. His remarks were
listened to with close attention. Educate
the rising generation, the men and women
of the netr future. Education is the foun
dation of every good government ; and that
is the best education which will make good
citizens rapidly and effectually in accordance
with the laws of God, which always have
reference to the greatest good and the most
truth.
A large number of students was present,
to whom the closing remarks were addressed..
Form s good character at school character
is the measure of every man and woman.
Let your aim be a good character, so that
after you have done the part assigned, that
your only care shall be, how you may per
form the greatest amount of good of which
your being is capable. The speaker related
some incidents in student-life in connection
with his remarks upon forming a good char
acter, which were very impressive. Prof.
Powell is actively and earnestly engaged in
the educational work of this State, and will
be present and assist in the Teachers' Insti
tute. The time for holding the Institute
Will be published in our next number.

An Important ISdi'stry. In another
column, we call tlie attention of our far
mers to the importance of looking after
their orchards, and to the fact that apples
will soon be an important item in our ex
ports. Since that article was in type, we
have seen private letters from England, to
Mr. Waliis Nasli, informing him that the
apple crops there are short and the demand
for dried fruit immense. In addition to
this, we will state, that the Corvallis Fruit
company received orders, recently, for fif
teen tons of dried fruit, and Mr, Oeo. Sill,
Agent of the company, is now in Linn coun
ty, purchasing fruit with which to fill that
order. Many places in Benton county, not
suitable for wheat growing, would produce
splendid orchards; and fruit, for years to
come, will find a ready market at remunera
tive prices. Messrs. Waliis Nash and James
Read man. of our city, have purchased the
right of three counties for the Plummer
fruit driers, foreseeing the demand, in the
liear future, for dried fruit. They will not
only supply farmers with these excellent
driers, but they will buy your fruit, paying
the highest market price. They have the
money to pay down for what they buy.

Thanksgiving. The usual union services
were held in the Presbyterian church, in
this city, yesterday, the resident pastors all
taking part in the same. The sermon was
preached by Rev. . No notice was
made of these services in the Gazette, last
-week, from the fact that the arrangements
were not perfected until after our going to
press. The people of Corvallis and Benton
County have much to be thankful to Al
mighty God for, the past year. No epidem
ic or contagious disease has visited us ; our
harvests have been abundant, and peace and
plenty have crowned our labors. Surely
the Lord has 1 een very good to us, whereof
we should rejoice and be glad.
Bear CAPTctrEry . We have been shown
a private letter, received by Mrs. H. W.
Vincent, from her mother, at Newport, giv
ing a very graphic description of the capture
of a very large bear, which called into
action almost the entire population, male
and female, old and young. It was rare
sport for the people but rough on bruin.
Sorry we had not the space to'give Mrs. Ste
vens' account of the capture, in full.

Great demand for extra copies of the Ga
zette, last week. Everybody seemed anx
ious to read A. T. Hawley 's admirable letter
about Yaquina Bay. - All sensible, unpreju
diced, far-seeing business men agree with us
that Yaquina Bay is the natural Ontlet for
the produce of the" Willamette valley. It
would not surprise us, at next harvest, if
wheat was worth as much per bushel at
Yaquina Bay as at Portland The world
moves.
New Saddles. Mr. S. A Hemphill has
just finished one of the finsst lot of saddles

celebrated Lebanon Tree, so popular among
stock men in California, and the best Santa
Cruz skirting. Several stock men in East
ern Oregon are using his make of saddles,'
and every one gives perfect satisfaction.
They are the best, and most substantial
stock saddles in use hand-made. Call and
see them.
FAVORABLE MENTION-
It is so oldom that the Portland dailies
have anything favorable to say about Cor
vallis, that the follewing complimentary re
marks by Mr. Foley, correspondent of the
Standard, are duly appreciated, and we take
pleasure in reproducing them. In bis Cor
vallis correspondence of the 2lrh inst, Mr.
Foley says: The work on the West Side
railroad is rapidly progressing and the ceigh
of the iron horse is expected to be heard in
this city about Christmas. Mr. Wm. Mast,
with a number of workmen, is busily en
gaged constructing A station house which
will compare favorably with any between
here and Portlanii. It is the general expec
tation that Corva'lls will be, at no distant
day, one of the greatest shipping points cn
the Willamette. The construction of the
Yaquina Bay Railroad will commence at
this point next spring. This, with the ex
tension of the Vest Side road, will give
trade a lively impetus, and Corvallis will,
next Summer, be one of the best business
centers in Oregon.
The following additional cheering words
are from the Daily Oregouian of the 26th
inst. :
The grading on the westside road is now
completed to Corvallis; ties have been laid to
the Luckiamute river, and a sufficient num
ber have been forwarded to the front
for tbe entire distance. The ship Eliza Mc
Neil, from Philadelphia, bearing enough
rails to finish the track, has arrived at As
toria, and part of her carixo will be lightered
to this city without delay. The ship also
brings a 32 ton Baldwin locomotive, and
some frog and other supplies. Hairing unlooked-for
delays and tossible accidents, the
people of Corvallis can promise themselves
a Christmas " ride on the rail " within' the
limits of their own town.
Blue Ribbon. Hon. James Chambers, of
Kings Valley, add res sod the Corvallis Bine
Ribbon, at the Evangelical church, last Sat
ur lay evening. 'd Miss Nettie Speneer re
cited the " Rum filer's Sign," in a masterly
style. The attendance was very good, and
the music somewhat improved. Why is it
that the executive committee does not fr
nish prnrtmm'is for the Gazette? The
eveiiings are long now, and if an interesting
programme w; s presented the attendance
would always he lare. Nor is the time to
do good, effective work in the temperance
Our friend, the Doctor, narrates the story
of a 37oung lady who had swallowed some
leeches in a draught of water, or at any rate,
thought she had done so. She complained
of dizziness and imagined the leeches were
moving about inside her head. The Doctor
conjectured the trouble was in the brain
and not in the stomach, as she had just
graduated successfully from the University.
Feeling satisfied that Frese's Hamburg Tea
wa tbe proper remedy iu either event, he
prescribed a few doses and she was all right
in a couple of days.
SPEcniEN Books. Thanks to Messrs.
Miller fc Richard, of the Scotch type foun
dry, Edinburgh. London, Toronto nod San
Francisco, for two fine sjiwimcn books one
of o:it, end tbe other of book, newspaper
and job types. Theee boo'M contain many
late designs and stylus of type, and should

office.
Fastest Time. The steamer Ohio made
the trip from Karrisburg to Portland in thir
teen hours and thirty-five minutes, includ
ing landings. Captian U. B. Scott was at
the wheel. This is the fastest time on re
cord between tbe two points.
Goon News. The Portland Standard of
the 13th inst., says : Capt. J. C. Ainsworth
yesterday received the good news that 125
miles of railroad iron had been purchased by
Mr. Villard, anil that the first shipment
would be made on tbe loth inst., which is
intended for the construction of a road down
the Colombia from' Wallula to Celilo. We
are further unformed that it is the intention
of the Company to have the road completed
in time f r the Fall trade of 1880. The
magnitude of the trade in Eastern Oregon
and Washington Territory has necessitated
this step, as it is impossible for the Compa
ny to rely on the river to move the great
amount of freight, and while they have a
fleet of steamers amply sufiicient to do the
business, the uncertain stage of the river
makes it unreliable and dangerous, and sub
jects the Company to great loss.

our people. It works like a charm in all
cases of Consumption', Pneumonia, Hemor

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.

will relieve any case. Regular size only

Sad Havoc Is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth ty allow
ing impurities to collect upon their surface
or in their interstices. SOZODONT re
moves every vestige of tartar from the
teeth, and renders their premature decay
impossible. It not only imparts to thein
whiteness and vigor, but communicates
hardness and rosiness to the'., gams. The
breath acquires a most acceptable fragrance
from its use; it is a purely botanic liquid,
and it may be relied on to - accomplish its
beautifying effects without injuring the en
amel like a gritty tooth paste''.

Gastoria
Millions of Mothers express their
delight oyer Castoria. It is nature's
remedy for assimilating the food.
Unlike Castor Oil, it is pleasant to
take, and unlike Morphine Syrups, it is
harmless. Castoria regulates the Eon
els, destroys Worms, Cores
Sour Curd and Wind Colic,
and allays jPeverlshness. What gives
health tc the Child, promotes rest for
the' Mother. Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castoria. It is the most re
liable, effective and popular article
dispensed by Druggists.
Since Healing remedies have been used by

The experience of centuries has made the
CENTAUR
Liniments, the most speedy and effective
curative agents for
MAN and BEAST
the world has ever known. The Centaur
LINIMENTS
hare relieved more hod-ridden Crip
ples ; healed more frightful 70ixnds,
and saved more valuable animals than
all other liniments, ointments, oils, extracts,
plasters and so-called " pain killers " and
"skin cures" combined.
Physicians and Veterinary Surgeons

lions of men, women and children in all
countries use them, and Housekeepers,
