To many of the readers of the Gazette! ithe black borders of these columns will be the first intimation that death has removed from amongst us one whose presence and infln 'enoe has become habitual to us during the bast fourteen years. Yes, Wm. B. Carter, 'the proprietor and editor of the Corvallis (Gazette, was on Sunday morning summoned away to give that account of both public and private life which each of us in his turn will have to render. Let us see what report ot that life bis friends, who knew him so well And were so freely taken into confidence by that generous heart, could give of him. Tht leading incidents of his life may be summeu bp in very few words William B. Carter was born in Spring- field, in the State of Illinois, in the yeai 1831, and was there brought up and educa ted, and learned the trade which he practic ed his life long.

There he married very happily, and came back to Oregon in 1862. In the year 1865 he acquired that interest in this paper which he so faithfully worked until his dying day. Here our pen hesi tates, doubting for a moment whether pass on at once to the review of his public life, which is the property of us all, or to raise with reverent hand the veil of private life and private sorrow. But here, after all. lies the key to many a public man's subse quent career, which without a knowledge of the secret of his private life, would fail to be accounted for aright. In 1877 the family of the friend whom we mourn to-day was isited with afflictions severe beyond the common lot. Death laid his cold hand on three fair children, while it was doubtful for a time if the father would then follow them or no. We doubt not that in those terrible shocks to body and mind the seeds laid of that disease which ended suddenly on Sunday last. It would not have been strange if a n so tried had refused to lift again the burden 'of daily toil and to resume the harness, which was worn the more lightly while the family circle was unbroken, and health was vouchsafed sufficient for daily needs. But our friend resumed his pen, and as soon as strength returned was found again in his working place, striving to show once more REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

I agree fully with the suggestion as to Blaine-, and hope onr friends in convention will go further and instruc emphatically foi Blaine. He is entitled t the vote of Oregon at Chicago, and ought to have it, besides the great majority of re publicans in Oregon so desire it. tie is my decided choice and has had my voiunta pledge of support for months. 1 hope, however, the convention will not adopt the course suggested by the Oregonian, of protesting against (irant or any othe possible candidate. It is yet impossiblle to determine who the Chicago nominee will bi of the prominent candidates. Jbven Lrraut is infinitely better in my judgment than lilden or any other possible leinocratic candidate, and Uregon should not jeopadize her electoral vote, though she fail of her choice at Chicago. Let us by every nonerabie means secure ijiaine it we can, but refrain from the unpardonabl blunder of destroying onr vote in the elec toral college should another be nominated As I have been misrepresented in certain quarters by interviewers and others, you an at liberty to make this public. John il. Mitchell. Eastham of Clackamas, moved to suspend; the rules and vote for the candidate by ac clamation. The motion prevailed and Mitch ell was elected by a large vote. After some discussion tbe convention ad journed till 8 o'clock to-morrow morning.

Once a market is established, steady! alikt 'assume a splendid future.

J. SENDERS. Corvallis, Uarch '7, 1880. 17-.Hv.-5 ffair Vigor, FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vigob cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The "Vigor is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.
