We are having a very cold winter in this part of tKe country ; the snow in-this valley was from 18 to 24 inches .deep in some places, anil fearfully cold pretty rough on persons raised in Webfoot. In Goose Lake the snow is much deeper. The mail carrier in going to Lake View last week was eleven hours going seven miles, on horse back ; the. snow was several feet deep. It is feared there will be considera ble lo83 of stock all over Lake county, for as a general thing people were not prepared for such a cold winter. I think the people here who haven't much stock are the hap piest now, for those that have must lose. Paisley, a young city situated on the Chewaucan river, is in " full blast." They have a good school there, which is a great benefit to the place. Yours truly, Mary Withers. Land Pcrchased. Mr. Nick Baesen, of .the Palace market, has bought ten acres of land, of Capt. Allen, one-half mile wet of town, upon which he will erect a slaughter house as soon as the weather will permit above is what Nick says, but knowing his proclivities as well as we do, we suspect he is trying to beguile our people. We are satisfied that he has been su(et)ing for some time for the hand of one of Corvallis' fair ones, and has " rendered " weekly accounts of his " heart," and cleav(er)s to her with "tender" sweetness; Bad knowing Nick to be a good " liver," and the further fact that ten acres is entirely too much land to devote to the purpose named, we are inclined to the opinion that he is about to erect another Palace on said premises, and if he is not "chucked," he'll take a "spare-rib " home. We would not speak this above a whisper, for fear the old " Nick " would be to pay. Sociable. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Vincent of the Vincent House, Monday evening gave a select p:irty to some of their more intimate friends. The dining room was cleared, Prof. Tompson and the Dr. furnished excel lent music while the young people tripped the "light fantastic," until the "we sma hours," while the older and the more staid engaged in games of seven up, eucher and whist. The Dr. and wife are possessed of the very happy faculty of making their guests comfortable and happy to a high de gree. The Dr. as a caller is a success and draws the bow with the method of a pro fessional. All present enjoyed the affair immensely and wended their homeward steps at the close of the entertainment, with hearts full of gratitude to their hosts and hostess. English Common Room. Our English citizens, who are an important facfcr in our population, are fitting up a reading room, over John Ray & Son's grocery store, corner of Second and Monroe streets. Their tables will be supplied with all the leading English papers and periodicals together with leading American publications. A well afforded reading room is as essential to the happi ness of Englishmen as roast beef and alf and alf. We expect the enterprise will be an entire success, and will be the means of enabling our cousins in a manner to forget that they are in a strange land. The facili ties thus afforded them will enable all its patrons to keep thoroughly posted on all topics of interest in their native land and its colonies, and also to keep up with cur rent events in the land of their adoption. A Curiosity. Mr. F. M. Bewley, writ ing to the River Side, from Salem, says : I . noticed in your paper a few days ago, thai a cow belonging to Mr. Foster had been slaughtered in Independence, and from her stomach was taken nearly a pound of nails. This you call a curiosity, and so it is ; but I can beat that. In 1867 I killed a cow, and from her stomach I took nearly as many nails, also a ten cent piece and a lady's gold ring. The ring and coin I have yet in my possession. This cow was fed and milked in Salem for a number of years. Road Supervisors. Wiley Norton, L. F. Piper, A. J. Porter, M. L. Trapp are entitled to great credit and the thanks of the traveling public for the zeal and energy manifested by them in clearina the Yaquina road of obstructions. In a few days all obstructions will be removed, and travel will resume its wonted channe to the Bay. Stamps Received. Last Wednesday we received, in a letter postmarked Portland, one dollar and fifty cents in postage stamps. The envelope contained nothing except the stamps, and there was no mark upon it by which we could tell who our friend is. If the person who sent the same will send his address, and state what the money was for we will be pleased to comply with his wishes. Good Appointment. Mr. B. F. Irvin, of Salem, has received from the Westside Rail road Company the. appointment of agent at this city. Mr. Irvin is a young man of good qualities, and in his hands the interest of the company will be well guarded. Frank, we welcome you to Corvallis, and trust your stay among ua will be pleasant and profitable. Ftn Hogs.

Mr. Lewis is one of the earliest pioneers of this coast, and has undergone all the hardships and privations incident to a lite on the frontier. He says these are not like the days when with mules he packed wheat, bacon and other produce into Rogue river valley, and notes with pride the great changes and gigantic strides the Willamette valley has made since then. THE WESTSIDE RAILROAD. On Saturday evening a Large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Corvallis was held at the conrt house for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken to recognize suitably the reception at Corvallis of the first passenger train on the West side railroad. Mayor Jacobs was called to the chair, and introduced the subject to meeting. Judge Chenoweth then rose and congratulated the town on the aus picious event, so long expected, viz., the connection of Corvallis with the railroad system of the Slate. He suggested that a committee should be nominated to make arrangements for giving a suitable reception to the officials representing the railroad who would accompany the first train. This resolution was adopted by the meeting, and the following gen tlemen were named by the Mayor: Judge Chenoweth, Judge Burnett, Dr. Bayley, J. W. Rayburn and Sol. King. The question then arose as to the form the reception should take. It was suggested that the Second Bri gade Band should meet the train on arrival at the depot and escort the offi cials to the opera house. That then a suitable address should be presented, and afterwards that a social dance should close the festivities. The com mittee then met to carry out the de tails of the arrangements. Reception to Officers and Employees. The first regular train on this road reach ed Corvallis at 9 J o'clock p. M. , and was met at the depot, by the 2nd Brigade Band, and a large concourse of people. The multi tude was marched to the City Hall, where an address of welcome was delivered by Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, and -was responded to on behalf of the company, by Hon. J. N. Dolph, of Portland. Our columns are so crowded that it is impossible for us to do justice to the affair in this issue ; but our short hand reporter will dish it up in good style, next week. yaquina bay. After the business connected with the Westside road had been got through, the Mayor called for Mr. Wallis Nash. Mr. Xash then rose and stated that he had just received two telegrams from Col. Hogg, at Washington, urging in the strongest terms the immediate preparation and forward ing to Congress of a memorial set ting out the desire of the valley for the provision of national aid for the removal of the obstruction at the en trance of the Yaquina harbor. He sugsested also that each county in the valley should piesent a separate memorial, showing how universal the feeling was that this matter should receive the attention it demanded. Mr. Nash then read to the meet ing the form of the proposed memo rial, and this was unanimously adopt ed and signed by all present. A committee was then appointed to canvass the whole valley, sepa rate committees being formed in each county. The following 'gentlemen were named, and at once consented to serve : The Mayor, Dr. J. R. Bayley, Judge Burnett, E. A. Abbey and Wallis Nash. The meeting then adjourned, but the committee remained in session till nearly midnight. The Late Storm. Our readers will doubtless be glad to hear that the damage done by the late storm in the neighborhood of the Yaquina Bay was not so severe as at first imagined. Messrs. Acklom and Gray, during their late journey, had the pleasure of falling in with Mr. Miller, who informed them that beyond having a little fencing blown down, he did not suffer any damage (to use his own words) to amount to one cent, and the Oneatta mill was not unroof ed, but merely a few planks on one side blown away. Open Air Concert. The 2nd Brigade Band will play the following pieces, oppo site the Occidental Hotel on this evening at 7 o'clock. It will be followed by a soiree at the City Hall: 2nd Brigade march; Overture Light Cavalry ; Schottische Golden Gate ; Selection From Bohemian Girl ; Gallop Lightning Express, Rise and Explain. If the young gentle man who sent the anonamous letter to this office, yesterday morning, announcing the dangerous illness of a well known young lady of this city, will call and give us a satisfactory explanation of his conduct, he will save public exposure and consequent humiliation. THE CL1MAXJJF PRINTING. Have we reached it? A recent visit to the press room of the " San Francisco Chronicle" prompts an affirmative answer, but we remember that forty years ago when the "Hoe" power press with the astonishing speed of three thousand per hour was introduced by the New York dailies, the question was answered affirmatively then, as it was thought the very highest point of perfection had been attained. Looking back to Hoe's wonderful development of the crude ideas of Guttenberg and Frank lin, and lookingat his present triumph of mechanical skill in the press room of the Chronicle, we draw the same comparison that we would between the sun dial of Roman antiquity and the finest chronometer movement from a modern London workshop. The wonderful press now in use is an index to the possibilities of the hu man mind, and teaches its elastic adaptability to its own increasing wants. The very largest circulation of the metropolitan dailies in the early days of the "power press" could not have exceeded twenty thousand ; but rapidly increasing population demanded greater facili ties, and human genius at once made provision and what was lacking in mechanism has been supplied by the mysteries of chemistry. Just think of it ! A thought flows from the pen, in a moment it is in the hands of the compositor, thence to the stereotyper; crystallized into metal it is locked into the arms of the great iron giant that, with its multiplex siuews and nerves of steel, gives it to the world in legible characters at the rate of one hundred thousand every three hours, and almost with out the assistance of human labor ! Talk about the " lost arts" and mourn over the? forgotten secrets of the dying vats of Tyre, the glass weavers of Byzantium, the buried powers that built the pyramids and raised the obelisks what are the greatest achievements of" the ancients to the one great triumph of the art that preserves all others? We stand amazed at the perfect precision of these immense automatic presses, wondering what the possibilities of the future may be and recognizing in them a type of higher civilization than the world has ever seen or ever was buried. among the ruins of the ancient peoples. Oregon Sentinel. POMPEII. Though the victims of the great eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79 lived so long ago, they were our fellow-creatures, and it is. impossible to recall their fate especially, one might think, to recall it on the spot without a feeling of horror. Sir William Gell estimated the number of people who perished at 1,300 ; but during recent excavations so many bodies have been found that it seems to have been far greater, and when we consider that, closely as the inhab itants were packed, Pompeii was still bin a little place, the proportion of deaths appears large. It is, of course, satisfactory to the antiquarian to re flect that the misfortunes of Pompeii have been a great gain to modern knowledge. The maimers of the an cient Romans are better known to us by what have been discovered here under the ashes than by all the pic tures or statues or writings existing elsewhere. The town had been very recently rebuilt, and the remains are chiefly of one period ; but the deco rations are remarkable for their rarity as well as for their freshness. In fact, the state of pictorial art in the first century would be almost unknown to us but fer the frescoes in the House of the Tragic Poet, and the beautiful wall-paintings now in the Naples Mu seum. Cheering Sews for Oregon. Our people have been cut off from com munication with the outer world so long that anything which tends to hasten the time when they can come and go without that awful ocean voyage, is liailod with the deepest satisfaction ; but better than an Eastern railroad connection is the discovery of the wonderful Oregon Kidney Tea. If you have the backache, or any trouble with the kidneys or bladder, no matter what the cause, it will cure every time . and no hum bug. Ask your druggist for it. Why WU1 You 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 leadily attained. Boschee's German Syrup has gained the largest sale in 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.
