M. L. Trapp, Sec'y-
Ixsane. Last Tuesday Alex. Lamb, dep
uty sheriff, brought from Monroe Ttichanl
Giriffon, who had been arrested at that
place charged with being insane and unsafe
to be at large. This fact was testified to by
six good and lawful men of Monroe and duly
certified to by Justice Kelly. On arriving
in Corvallis the necessary affidavit was filed
with the County Judge, and Drs. Farra and
Bayley called, and the examination com
menced, eliciting the following facts: That
the cause of insanity wr.s whisky; that it
occurred periodically when the patient was
drunk, and continued as long as his money
lasted ; that the patient was 3G years old,
an Irishman, and inclined to be violent when
under the influence of whisky. After a
lengthy and interesting temperance addre3s
by the Judge, Richard was released under
promise that he would reform.
Homicide at Albany. On last Monday
evening Frank Wheeler, son of Hon. Jason
Wheeler, of Albany, shot and killed Chas.
Taylor, in the saloon of Josh Taylor, in that
city. We have been informed that the facts
are about as follows : Taylor had for a long
time felt unkindly toward Wheeler on ac
count of some real or supposed family diffi
culty, and several times threatened the life
of Wheeler. On the evening of the diffi.
culty Wheeler stepped into the saloon men
tioned ; Taylor being there and under the
influence of liquor, commenced cursing
Wheeler, who, after trying first to expostu
late with him, turned and started to leave
the room ; Taylor followed him, and when
near the door put his hand into his pocket
as though to draw a pistol. Whereupon
Wheeler drew a pistol and fired twice, both
shots taking effect and the second proving
fatal. Wheeler is now in jail.
The Great Artesian Stock Pump. M.
W. Wilkins, of this city, has invented a
force pump which will be of practical use
for farmers and stockmen. It is so arranged
that the stock on approaching the trough
tread upon a platform slightly raised at the
end next to the well, which is pressed down
ward by the weight of the animal, forcing
the plunger down and the water upwards
into the trough. This pump is so arranged
that with a lever and weight on the top of
the plunger the housewife can constantly
supply her kitchen with water without labor.
This pump is bound to become a great labor
Baving institution. It is a credit to the in
ventor, and ought to be purchased at sight
by every one using a pump. Mr. Wilkins
has filed his caveat and applied for a patent.
Water Task. Workmen have been en
gaged for some time in buildin? a water tank
for the W. O. R. R. on the farm of Mr.
Calloway, some seven miles north of the
depot. The tank has a capacity of 50,000
gallons, and the water is carried to it from
a spring one-half mile distant, through a
wooden pipe of 3-inch bore. There is 50
feet fall between spring and tank.

Mr. William Spiers who has a large sheep
ranch in King's valley, informs us that his
loss will be from twenty to twenty-five per
cent, of his entire herd. The continuous
snow-fall in the mountains, and the extreme
cold weather, for years heretofore unknown
in this region, has been the cause.
Mrs Everest, in the Oregonian of a late
date, vents a little spleen on our city officials
and Dr. Lee, who dressed the unfortunate
man's wound, which we believe is entirely
uncalled for. We sympathze deeply with
Mrs. Everest in the loss of her husband.
Hrat we think that she, after leavine him on
account of hi3 dissipated ha.1 its, is not in a
situation to criticise our city officials, and
Dr. Lee, who did all in their power to save
his life.
His First Lesson. C. J. Bishop, R. N.
R., clerk at the Vincent House, was initi
ated into the mysteries of cattle-driving last
Tuesday, by Prof. Nick Baesen. C. J, was
hitched to one end of a rope, while a well
developed beef steer was attached to the
other end. The way the mud flew was a
caution to amateurs. But he hung on to the
line, and finally came out first best as to the
b. s., but as to the mud well, he thinks
that one does not want to be elegantly
upholstered when cattle-driving in wet
weather.
Fire. Monday last, at the hour of noon,
Mrs. Jerusha Smith's barn was discovered
on fire. The alarm was sounded and the
fire department responded promptly. But
the flames had got too firm a hold upon the
structure to be suddenly extinguished. By
well directed efforts her residence was saved.
In a short time the barn was entirely de
stroyed, together with a quantity of lard
stored therein. The fire was occasioned by
one of Mi's. Smith's little boys and one of
Mr. Rowland's playing with matches in the
barn. Those two boys ought to be forcibly
reminded that it is unsafe to play with fire
or matches. Loss $200. No insurance.
The Chinese mustgo. Last Friday while
some cattle were being loaded on the West
side train here, a big steer became unman
ageable and escaped. Having swam Mary's
river the fnrated bovine made a descent
into Geo. Mercer's garden, where one of the
almond eyed celestials was engaged at work,
and having inbibed the spirit so prevalent on
this coast against the Chinese, with one fell
swoop he made for the heathen, and elevat
ed him between hi3 horns before the unsus
pecting child of the Celestial empire knew
his adversary's intentions, ran with him
some three or four rods, when he, without
saying as much as by your leaye, dropped
the frightened Chinaman on the bosom of
mother earth and bounded away. After
recovering somewhat from his fright and
sudden shaking up, the Chinaman returned
to the house, mad as a March hare, and ac
cused Geo. of having turned the maddened
annimal loose upon him. After a good deal
of talk, Geo. succeded in convincing his
man that he was not guilty of negligence,
or aparticepi criminis m what at one time
threatened to be a disastrous affair.
Narrow Gauge. William Reid, presi
dent of the Oregon Railway Company, has
submitted to the people of Albany a propo
sition to extend the Dayton & Sheridan road
to that city. He offers to do it if they will
build a bridge and pay $45,000, one-third of
the 45,000 payable when the road reaches
that city, another third payable one year
thereafter and the last third payable when
the road is in operation from Albany to
Portland. The road would be built to a
point opposite the city of Albany, and would
be built across the river whenever the peo
ple would build a bridge for it. The Demo
crat says: " When Mr. Reid's proposition
(to bring the railroad to this city for 45,000
and a bridge) was read, it fell like a wet
blanket over the meeting. Only 50,000
was asked for when the broad gauge road
came here, and for a narrow gauge to ask
for 100,000 to 140,000 was thought to be
rather out of place. Our people will make
a liberal donation to the road, but they can
not afford to pay any such sum as that asked
for by Mr. Reid."
Scarce. Contractors who have under
taken to furnish ties for the O. & R. N. Co.
find great difficulty in obtaining workmen.
Repeated advertising, followed up by other
efforts, has failed to secure the required
number. In the towns there are "profes
sional workmen" enough, but their time is
so taken up with holding meetings to give
expression to their fear3 lest the Chinese
may do some work, that they can do little
else. Actual workingmen are scarce, as
any one finds who wishes to employ any
considerable number.
Wool. Competent judges, men who
make it a business to keep an account of the
number and condition of the sheep .between
the Cascades and Blue mountains, estimate
that the clip in that region will, this year,
reach the very large amount of 4,500,000
pounds or 2,250 tons. That the wool clip
will prove valuable this year is evident
from the fact that the common grade is to
day worth 30c per pound in this market,
while the very best quality would bring 9 or
10 cents more per pound. A year ago it was
worte 15 cents and less per pound.
-Sent Up. Geo. Moody, lately tried in
Portland for burglary, has been sentenced
to ten years. Geo. wanted mercy, and with
great energy and force repeated Portia's ad
dress to the Jew, who insisted on having
his pound of flesh from the merchant of
Venice. Judge Bellenger was cold and sel
fish and undoubtedly did not fully appre
ciate the tragic effort of the convict and
promptly on the conclusion of the above
immortal speech told Geo. he must go up for
ten years.
Pigeon Shooting. Last Friday some of
the members of the Benton County Sport
ing Club tried their hands at pigeon shoot
ing, on the common south of town. The
birds were taken as they raised from the
trap, at a distance of 21 yards. Following
is the score: R. C. Kiger, 2 shots, 2 birds;
Wm. Albrecht, 2 shots, lbird; T. J. Buford,
2 shots, 2 birds; Mark Bayley, 2 shots, 1
bird; Zeph Job, 3 shots, no birds. It is the
intention of the club to get a supply of glass
balls soon, to practice on.
Firemens' Election. At the election
for Chief Engineer of the Corvallis fire de
partment, held last Saturday, 43 votes were
cast, of which Nick Baesen, of the Hook
& Ladder Co. received 41, for chief, and W.
S. McFadden, of the Engine company, re
ceived 39 for assistant chief. There was no
opposition, and but litt e interest was taken
in the event.
PUBLIC EXAMINATION.

hereby notified that a public examination
will be held at the College, in this city, on

Corvallis, March 18, 1880. 17.12w2
Dr. Simms. This celebrated and world
renowned lecturer, during the past week,
spoke each night to a croweded house in our
city. As a Physiognomist the Dr. has no
equal in this country. Our people were de
lighted and entertained. The Dr. reads
character with the precision and accuracy of
one inspired.
Religious. Quarterly meeting of South
ern Methodists will be held at the college
chapel next Saturday and Sunday. Com
munion after 11 o'clock service Sunday.
Subject at morning discourse: "Resurrec
tion of the dead. " All are cordially invited.
T. B. White, P. E.
Big Hog. J. S. Felger, whoiivesnear Phi
lomath, raised and fattened a Poland China
hog, this past season that weighed, dressed,
760 pounds. Now let our exchanges make
a note of this and see if they can match
this porker. Don't all speak at once.
Large Egg. Mr. A. E. Acklom last
Tuesday brought into our office the cham
pion hen's egg. It weighed 4 ounces, meas
ured 6 inches in circumference at the
"bulge," and 8 inches longitudinally.
PHILOMATH ITEMS
Mr. W. T. Bryan, of our circles, is the
G. B. nominee for sheriff. Mr. Bryan has
but one eye, but he has put it to business.
The protracted meeting is progressing.
Bishop Castle is preaching some powerful
discourses; but his health is partially im
paired. A man who boarded with C. B. Wells for
a few days took a post-haste departure with
paying. The delinquent's conscience will
sometime trouble him, and Mr. Wells will
never credit him again that is the result of
repudiation.
On the road from Corvallis to this place,
on last Saturday night, at about the hour of
12, two iron-clads coming from Dr. Simms'
lecture, were actually caught in the act of
making love to each other. They seemed
to try their medicine on each other first, as
the physician treated hi3 wife. Look out,
ladies.
The Kearneyites are making the China
house on G street the "sand lots " of Philo
math. Not long since these hoods drew
weapons on the inmates, and on last Satur
day night knocked down their sisn. Here
I also might mention that I understand that
one of them came near taking the Crucible
office on the Thursday previous.
If the railroad is completed ; and if I am
to represent the feelings of this people until
next summer, I do now cordially invite the
citizens of Benton county in general to come
out and spend the next fourth of July with
us. We have a nice grove, and we really
appreciate the privilege of being host ouce
in a while, instead of being guest all of the
time. Let us have the next celebration near
Philomath. What think the citizens of Cor
vallis ?
From some of our papers one would infer
that Philomath is a disagreeable, unpleasant
little town. I have not lived here as long
as some, and will not, for my part say. But
my aunt, Mrs. G. W. Kisor, who keeps a
restaurant and sets the best tables in this
part of the county, has lived here many
years, and wiil live here many more, I ex
pect. That's good evidence, and its favor
able, f'tr we want enterprising people here ;
and she is satisfied, too, because she has too
mueh women's rights about her to stay if she
was'nt. This is the case with others, I
judge. I know the neighbors are generally
neighborly, and, of course, the society is
pleasant, with the exception of a few discon
tented politicians, who have become dissat
isfied with the principal of -the school. This,
however, c: 11 amount to nothing, as their
plans are too superficial. I understand them
all. They are too radical. Graut's out of
office wandering around, and they want to
promote him to the presidency of the insti
tution. Grant's the man.

For District Attorney.
J. W. Wright, Esq., of Junction City,
was in Corvallis the latter part of last week
on professional business, and favored us with
a call. We have heard Mr. WT's name favor
ably mentioned in connection with the nom
ination of the Republican State Convention
for the office of District Attorney of this
District, and he informs us that this is with
his consent. Should he be nominated, he
will receive the cheerful support of the Re
publicans in this couuty and nhen elected
make a competent officer.

Mr. N. Newton, agent for Benton county,

Mr. Acklom and wife are safely esconsced

Second street.
At her home, in Benton county, Oregon,
Veturia Ann, wife of Jacob Cornett. Her
maiden name was Keyes, born November
10th, 1S48; married to her now bereaved
husband, October 25th, 186G. On the 7th
of March, 1880, she cea.ied to suffer and.
with bright hope of immortality, took leave
of husband and six children, and went to
join the one that had preceeded her in the
better land. Her religious training was in
the M. E. Church, and her last hours justi
fied the saying, " Our people die well."

Our personal appearance is a matter in
which our friends and acquaintances- have a
right to a choice whether we shall inflict
upon them an exterior uncared for and un
attractive, a countenance marred by a neg
lected grilzzled beard, or a crown guiltless of
covering half covered, or thatched with
white hairs, or whether we shall in deference
to our fellows, pay due regard to our own
persons, aud make them presentable and
acceptable in society. There are many helps
for those who desire to do this, and there are
none among them more acceptable than
Hall's Hair Renewer and Buckingham's Dye
for the whiskers. Both these preparations
are kept for sale at all our drug stores, and
if any of our friends are looking a little the
worse for wear, we advise them to make a
note of it.- North Star, Danville, Vt.
It is p'easant to renew acquaintanceship
with the friends of our youth, said a weath

ply of Emil Frese's Hamburg Tea. I find
it is a complete medicine chest in itself.
Sailors and passengers, old and young, men,
women and children soon get all right after

This subject is agitating the minds of the
people of Oregon to a great extent, and re
minds one of the time when Capt. Eads
constructed the jetties in the Mississippi
river. But all these topics of the day are

of the celebrated OREGON KIDNEY TEA.
The first cases it has failed to cure in com
plaints of the kidney- and bladder, is yet to

of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated German
Physician, and i3 acknowledged to be one of
the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine.
It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Eung
troubles of the severerest nature, removing,
as it does, the cause of the affectum and
leaving the parts in a strong and healthy
condition. It is not an experimental medi
cine, but has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Beware of
medicines of similar, names, lately intro
duced. Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 18S8, and is
now sold in every town and village in the
civilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price 75 cent3. Sam
ple bottle, 10 chilis.
Sad Havoc is Created
Among the tenants of the mouth by 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 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 effects without injuring the en
amel like a gritty tooth paste.
