DEATH OF HON. W. B. CARTER.
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. Having heard, like the
rest of the early settlers here, a good report
oi this fair Western land, he crossed the
plains in 1851, and by dint of steady and

dusty the road, how great soever the obsta
cles in his way might be
He practiced his trade here in Oregon till
1859, and then for a season returned to hi
home in Illinois. 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

patch from Mr. Mitchell :
Washington, April 18, 1880.
To Hon. Sol. Birt.h: Oregonian of the!
3d inst. just received, while recommending!
selection of Blaine delegates, advises against
instructions and urges protest by conven
tion against Grant. 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.
After the adjournment of the convention,

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.
