BLUE RIBBON CLUB
The Corvallis Blue Ribbon Club had a
very interesting meeting at the M. .
Church last Saturday evening. The at
tendance was good, and the singing, by a
select choir, -with Mrs. W. T. Chapman at
the organ, was excellent. The address, by
Prof. Royal, was well received, and reflect
ed much credit on the speaker, who has a
most happy faculty of using the black board,
in his illustrations. He believes in teach
ing with the eye as well as the ear, and
makes his points clear and impressive.
Miss Godfrey's reading was good, and
the audience showed their appreciation by
hearty applause. After music, Rev. Mr.
Condit, of Albany, was introduced by the
President, and made some very appropriate
and well-timed remarks. He reported the
temperance cause flourishing in our neigh
boring city. One saloon there had recently
ciosed, for lack of patronage.
Mr. H. M. Clinton, editor of the Pacific
Monthly, who was in the city collecting
statistics for his magazine, was introduced,
and by a few well chosen remarks showed
that his heart was in the temperance work.
The pledge was then passed and several
signatures secured. Taken altogether it
was one of the most interesting meetings
we have had for a long time.
GENERAL DISCUSSIONS.
The following are the topics for general
discussion at the District and County Teach
ers' Institute, to commence in this city next
Monday at 9 o'clock, a. m. It is expected
that every teacher and friend of education
will come prepared to take part in the dis
cussions, by which great good may be ac
complished :
For Monday forenoon " Are Public Ex
aminations and Exhibitions Advisable ? "
For Monday afternoon " Should a text
book be prepared in the form of question
and answer ? "
For Tuesday forenoon " How can the
cordial co-operation of parents be secured ?"
For Tuesday afternoon " Should prizes
and rewards be offered for superiority of
scholarship "
For Wednesday forenoon "Are our
methods of teaching sufficiently practical ? "
"Remembkr the poor." When we look
abroad, during the inclement weather of
winter, and see families of children half
clathe 1. and poorly fed, it is not enough for
Christians to pray, " Be thou clothed and
be thou fed." This prayer is right and pro
per, but the true Christian, who has an
abuudance of this world's goods, should see
to it that some decisive steps are taken to
answer this prayer. While we may not,
and proliably do not, have any cases of real
destitution and want in Corvallis, like those
in large cities, yet thera are families that
need, and should receive, assistance during
the winter, and especially during the holi
days. A little coat, or hat, or dress, or
pair of shoes, of trifling co3t, might carry
sunshine and happiness to some poverty
pinched "little one." "The poor ye al
ways have with you." There arc many
open doors for true Christian charity. " If
we seek a lield of labor, we can find it any
where." A more generous, kind-hearted
people than the Corvallis! tes cannot be
found, and they only need their attention
called to this matter, to insure a liberal re
sponse. See tp it, at least, that every poor
family has a good Christmas dinner.
Cheering News. Mr. Wallis Nash, as
this city has just received a private letter
from Col. T. Egenton Hogg, who is making
his headquarters with his mother in Balti
more, hut speuds a portion of each day in
Washington. We are pleased to learn that
the Col.'s health has very much improved.
He seems very much elated over the pros
pects of Oregon, and intimates that our
citizens will have no reason to complain of
the manner in which their interests will be
looked after in Washington, this winter.
No outside party could look after our inter
ests more closely, and present our claims
more ably, than the Colonel, and we are
very fortunate in having him there to rep
resent our interests, and work with our Sen
ators and Representative. In addition to
this, ex -senator Mitchell will be in Wash
ington a part of the winter, at least, and
we can certainly count on his aid and influ
ence in securing congressional favors. And
while the interests of the state at large are
being looked after, Yaquina Bay, the natural
outlet of the Willamette valley, will not be
disregarded.
Christmas. The usual preparations seem
to be making for the due observance of this
time honored festival in Corvallis. From
present indications there will be no lack of
toys, candies, etc., for the "little ones,"
and elegant presents for the older ones,
and there seems to be a general inclination
to have a real old fashioned, good time
Christmas holiday. We hear of several
Christmas trees, public and private. There
will be trees, properly decorated and laden
with presents, on Christmas Eve, at the
Episcopal Chapel, and Evangelical and
Methodist Churches, for the- different Sab
bath Schools. It is the intention of the
managers of these trees to have a present
for every child in attendance at the various
schools. The parents, when able, are ex
pected to furnish presents for their children.
New Firm. As will be seen, by refer
ence to our advertising columns, Mr. John
Ray, one of our solid business men, has ta
ken his son Albert into full partnership
with him in business. Albert, for the past
four years, has been acting as clerk and
salesman for his father, and by his steady
habits and close attention to business, has
fully merited this honor upon attaining his
majority. His parents, und the entire com
munity as well, may justly feel proud of
such a young man, and what he has accom
plished, by sobriety, honesty and honor, is
within the reach of every young man. A
good moral character is the best capital (hat
any young man can start out into the world
with. Without this, no amount of money
can give him a " good name," which is bet
ter than much fine gold.

Weakening. Captain Tichenor has
"thrown up the sponge" relative to the
harbor of refuge being located at port Or
ford, we should judge, from the following
extract taken from the Coos Argus of the
5th inst: " The old old man of the sea,"
Captain Wm. Tichnor, of Port Orford, gave
us a friendly call, on Monday last. He is
still working for the Harbor of Refuge, but
feels a little faint-hearted about the proba
ble point of location being Port Orford.

Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer
has for many years occupied an honorable
place in the toilet of American women, and
has also attained popularity in foreign coun
tries. This, is because it does febtorm
what it promises. Its warmest friends are
those who have used it longest, and those
who sound its praise the loudest are those
who from actual experience and personal
trial have demonstrated that by its use
gray hair is restored to its natural color and
dry, harsh, and wiry hair is made soft and
lustrous, a thing of beauty, and a matter
of joy and pride to the wearer. t'ub-Soi.er

White's Prairie Flower.
Taken before retiring will insure a good
night's rest, with an awakening in the rosy
morn to health, courage and vigor. For
coated tongue, bad breath, sick headache, or
any disturbance arising from dyspepsia or
torpid liver, it is without a peer. Its action
on disease is entirely different from any
medicine ever introduced, quieting pains
almost instantly. The hue and cry raised
against it by patent medicine men, who have
foreseen in its advent the destruction of their
nefarious business, and the thousands of un
solicited testimonials flowing in from all
parts of the New World, is a sure indication
of its great merits. Trial size at all Drug
Stores. Half pound bottles, 75 cents.

Why Will Ton
Allow a cold to advance in your system
and thus encourage more serious maladies,
such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung
troubles when an immediate relief can be so
readily attained. Boschee's German Syrup
has gained the largest sale iu the world for
the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung Diseases, It is Dr. Boschee's famous
prescription, and is prepared with the great
est care, and. no fear need be entertained in
administering it to the youngest child, as
per directions. The sale of this medicine is
unprecedented. Since first introduced there
has been a constant increasing demand and
without a single report of a failure to do its
work in any case. Ask your Drcggist as to
the truth of these remarks. Large size 75
cents. Try it and be convinced.
Sad Havoc is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth Dy allow
ing impurities to collect upon their surface
or in their interstices. S0ZODONT re
moves every vestige of tartar from the
teeth, and renders their premature decay
impossible. It not only imparts to them
whiteness and vigor, but communicates
hardness and rosiness to the gums. 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 effeofcs without injuring the en
amel like a gritty tooth paste.
CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
A concert of sacred music will be given at
Hamilton's Opera, House, on the evening of
Christmas Day, at 7:30 o'clock. Tickets 50
cents each, to be obtained from Messrs. Gra
ham, Hamilton & Co., Mr. John Ray, or at
the Gazette office. As the proceeds of the
concert are to be given to the Corvallis Fire
Department, members are requested to at
tend uniform.

CHILDREN
Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. They
like it because it is sweet ; Mothers
like Castoria because it gives
health to the child; and Physi
cians, because it contains no mor
phine or mineral.
Castoria
Is nature's remedy for assimilating
the food. It our en Wind Colic, the
raising of Sour Curd and 'Diarrhoea,
allays Feverishness and Kills
Worms. Thus the Child has health
and the Mother obtains rest.
Pleasant, Cheap, and Reliable.
CENTAUR
LINIMENTS
The most effective Pain-relieving agents
MAN and BEAST
the world has ever known.
Over 1,000,000 Bottles sold last year!
The reasons for this unprecedented pop
ularity, are evident ; the Centaur Lini
ments are made to deserve confi
dence ; they are absorbed into tho struc
ture ; they always cure and never dis
appoint. Ko person need longer suffer
with
PAIN in the BACK,
Rheumatism or Stiff Joints, for the
CENTAUR
Liniments will surely exterminate
the pain. There is no Strain,
Sprain, Cut, Scald, Burn, Bruise,
Sting, Gall or Lameness to which
Mankind or Dumb Brutes are sub
ject, that does not respond to this
Soothing balm. The- Centaur
LINIMENTS
not only relieve pain, but they incite
healthy action, subdue inilammation,
and cure, whether the symptoms proceed
from wounds of tho flesh, or Neuralgia of
the Nerves ; from contracted Cords or a
scalded hand ; from a sprained ankle
or a gashed foot ; whether from disgusting
PIMPLES on a LADY'S FACE
or a strained joint on a Horse's Leg.
The agony produced by a Burn or Scald;
mortification from Frost-bites ; Swell
ings from Strains; the tortures of
Rheumatism ; Crippled for life, by
gome neglected accident: a valuable
horse or a Doctor's Bill may all be
saved from
One Bottle of Centaur Liniment.
No Housekeeper, Farmer, Planter, Team
ster, or Liveryman, can afford to be with
out these wonderful Liniments. They
can be procured in any part of the
globe for 50 eta. and 81.00 a bottle.
Trial bottles 25 cts.
