The ar tides were taken to Albany and consider able excitement created, and the impression soon gained ground that a murder had been committed. The clothing and other arti cles were recognized as belonging to W. W f ran cis, a shoe maker who resided at Hal sey. and who had left Albany for his home home late on the previous evening with several hundred dollars on his person. Among the articles found was a small can vas sacK m which he hail been seen to put his money in short time before leaving Albany, and on which were ice initial let ters W. W. F.

Mr. . had recorded a deed in the Clerk's j office at Albany, transferring all his real i property to his wife, that he had also placed several notes in the hands of a collector at Halsey a few days before directing him to pay the money when collected to his wife, that he had olso recently taken out an insu rance policy on his life in favor of his wife, and now the report reaches us that when he left home on the day .above mentioned, he took with him two Hot-? and other unneces sary articles, all tending to create the im pression that this was just a little game gotten up by Mr. Francis to account for an euexpected departure. There seems to be no reason however for such an action on his part as he was doing well in business and tiad accumulated property to the Value of perhaps four thousand dollars, and seemed to be happily situated in domestic affairs, but the facts still exist as we have stated them, and his body has not been found. Mr. V3 r . mm r raucw was ior a consul erawe. time a resi dent of Corvallis and was well known to many ofpur readers, and both here and at Halsey sustained a good reputation. Hunting Party. Last Tuesday Ben White, Wm. Albrecht and . Joe Peroni har nessed UR.Mr. Albrecht's team and started so ine ooantry in a southeruly direction, with the avowed intention of returning in the evening with their buggy filled with birds. Mr. Peroni, who by the way is an accomplished driver, was holding the rib bons and the horses started off at a gait that displayed a proud conciousness that they were the boss of the road. After a drive of a few miles something about the buggy gave way and theavhorses started with quicken ed speed but-ftook with them only the two forward wheels of the wagon. Joe held on to the lines for an instant and then got out to see what the difficulty was, and Billie, actuated by a similar inpulse, also alighted lad in the hurry of the occasion planted his feet, not on the solid ground, but on Joe. Auout tne same time Ben concluded to .see what the other boys were doing and he got out also and depositing himself on top of both ths others. AH three were soon on their feet with but slight iniurv. hut as their medicine case had been broken, -they returned on fot to town to procure arnica for their bruises. The hunt will be repeated to-morrow and we trust with better success Accident. On the train which runs from The Dalles to Walla Walla, a serious and possibly a fatal accident occurred-1 In.cbang- ing the road from narrow tp( standard gauge me tracK was placed over sc as to bring the trains on passing nearer to objects, tanks, bridges, etc. At 9:30 last Friday evening the tram reached Whitman Station. A brakesman named James Welch, known as "Chicago. " and a lady passenger named Miss Minnie Welfa, both hart their heads out of windows looking back just as the train began to slow up. Their heads struck violently against a protruding water pipe frotn a large tank which stood just at the side of the track. Welch's head was very seriously cut and bruised by the pipe. Miss Wells' -head was also dreadfully lacerated and it is thought that the skull is fractured; her recovery is deemed very doubtf ul, if not impossible. Welcb. though very seriously bruised and cut, will recover. The injured parties were conveyed to Walla Walla, where they received the best medical atten dance of that 1)1 ce. ' That Indian Case. In the last issue of the bourbon smut-mill, we find under the title 'A Justice case," an article commenting on their friend Indian. Ben's case before Justice Wrenn's court in which they attribute to us unprofessional conduct in abusing the jury men engaged on that trial. we empnaucaiiy state that this accusa tion against us is willfully and maliciously false and wo honestly believe that there is no person who has the first shadow of prin ciple above the lowest type of an Indian, who would write or publish such an article about us. But as we suppose that this accusation was conceived and caused to bis published by the last addition to the boosy depart ment of that disreputable sheet, we smooth ly pass on the performance of our regular duties with unruffled feelings and wonder at the weakness of poor humanity when dreaming about snakes and Indians. Salem, Oregon, June 6, 1881. Mr. Editor. I have been informed that the impression prevails in some localities that it is the intention of the State Agricul tural society to continue its summer fairs, and to include its national holiday in all its annual exhibitions hereafter. In order that the public may understand the facts, and to correct this erroneous impression, I have been requested to make a public statement. From its organization until the year 1877, the Soeiety had met with satisfactory and increasing success; and having reason to believe their good fortune would contiuue, had incurred indebtedness for improvements on the grounds, in order to meet the urgent demands of the public and its patrons . The years-1877, '78 and 79 were disastrous to tne society, as every citizen of Oregon is well aware. In 1879, the board, in the face of all these discouragements, feeling it was no longer their duty to incur personal obli gations to meet the deficiency caused by the continued inclemency " of the weather, re solved to pay the premiums of that fair in warrants on the treasurer, redeemable at the fair of 1880. The bankruptcy and ruin of the society was then predicted by thousands. To change the current of , the terrible re vers es and to restore psblicrtihtWenco, the fair of 1880 was held in July, and as all are aware, was a triumphant success the war rants 1879, which hundreds predioied were worthless, being paid at par on presentation principal and interest in full in coin, as were also the premiums of 1880. The time for holding the fair of 1881 was fixed in December Inst, and the national holiday, after much discussion, again in cluded in the exhibition week, in the belief that the society deserved one more success to assist them in restoring the losses of the years referred to. . " ( Thousands who attended the fair , in 1880, and who will come . again, either reside in localities which have never bee:i favored with a celebration, or who prefer to enjoy the excitement and interest of the national holiday on the fair grounds, in connection with the other attractions of the day and week. To make the occasior. one of interest and plsaStire to these people and all others in attendance, and having resolved eight months ugo to include the celebration as one of the attractions of ,the fair of 1881, the board are now completing the arrangements for a grand jubilee and celebration, with no design or desire to lessen the interest which may be felt in celebrations in other portions of the state. And while I aiyt not able to say what course the board wtu pursue an other year in regard to the time of holding its annual exhibition, I do feel confident that I express the sent iment of the society and its officers wher I say that the national holiday, for many yean) at least, will not again be included in its annual exhibitions. r E. M. Waite, Sec'y O. S. A. Society. YAQUINA BAY-. The schoones Alpha beat to sea against a south-west wind on the 26th of May. On tne 27th the tug Gen'l Wright returned from Astoria on the 31st. The tug Escort brought four large scows from Coose Bay and these were all towed into the Bay by the Wright. Yesterday, three hours before high tide, the Escort drawing 10 ft. 8 in came m all right. Capt. McUee was well pleased with the entrance, and says it is a foot better than Coose Bay. uapc J as. ij. .-iii en, a man ot much ex perience on the coast, and an 51d time friend of the Bay, was here looking quite natural . Capt. Littlefield was up from Coose where he has sharge of the Jjovernhient work, ex amining the p'ans &c, here. He left on the Escort. The town is full of people from the val ley. The statement that Villard had purchased the Mollie, is contradicted by Capt. Jordan, who says he intend to run his boat regu larly from this time on. m .. . . ji, very now ana men tne Uregonian or Astorian" cemmend the business sagacity of the O. R. & N. Co. I shipped via of As toria, on that company's line, 244 bushels of oysrers. xney were put up Ul IDs in a sack, the sacks were common potatoe sacks, and usually hold one hundred pounds. The company charged for 100 lbs though there was only 60 lbs in each safik and have pos ltively refused any rebate, thus collecting pay for 9760 lbs which they never carried, received or delivered. "Business sagacity" may be the proper name for such treatment, but robbery is really a mild and better term. ijast winter i wrote my conclusions on relative situation of Oregon, and recent transactions have proven them true, alas too true. Before her time Oregon has passed into the hands of Monopolists, determined to frustrate every effort made to throw off the yoke. Every legislature in the future will be controlled by villard as Pennsylva nia was by the late Tom. Scott. From the tone ef a certain journal I should infer that Benton county has a Judas . Rialto On Monday evening the. local officers of Oregon Railway Company, limited, received a cablegram from the directors in Dundee, stating that the lines had been practically leased to Henry Villard. The cablegram also ordered work on the Portland division (from the junction of the east and west side divisions, opposite Ray's landing to Portland) to be suspended, and all available workmen transferred to the southern end of both lines. The officers here have no particulars of the lease, and do not know whether sus pension of work on the Portland division will be permanent or not.

Figures won't lie: RESOLUTIONS- At a regular meeting of the Ladies Work ing Society of the Presbyterian Church, held at the house of Mrs. Atwood, in this city on the 7th day of June, 1881, the fol lowing resolutions of condolence on the death of Mrs. Lucy A. Hamilton, ih'ii Presi dent of said society, were unanimously adopted: Vhekea8, Til view of tlie loss we have sustained by the death of our dear friend and the president of this society. Mrs. Lucv A. Hamilton, and of. the still heavier loss sustained by those nearest and .dearest to her, therefore, Resolved, That it is but a iust tri' vti to the memory of the departed to say tw bv her removal from our midst we have, as a society, lost a faithful and devoted mend er and an efficient officer; the church a consis tent and zealous member ; the community one who was always ready in acts of charity and mercy ; and her family aii affectionate wife, a dutiful daughter and. a fond mother. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensa tion with which it has pleased Divine Prov idence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things ior the best, and whose chastise ments are sent in mercy. Resolved, That this heartfelt testimonial of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend by the Secretary of the meeting and that a cotiv of these resolutions furnished the Uazette for PHILOMATH, Ed. Gazette : I have read your earnest appeal for news, and facts from all parts of the coufity for publication in your valuable paper, therefore I write. Philomath is .the second place of import ance .in Benton Countyy and contains about 350 people, four blacksmith shops, two stores, a drug store, a hotel,' a boot and shoe maker, two butcher shops, a milliner shop, a harness shop and a wagon shop. There are also a grist mill and saw mill a few rods west of town. A thriving business is done by all these. $10,000 at least were added to our town in the way of improve ment in the last year. A grand brick col lege stands in the center of our town, which cost about 12,000. It stands on an emi nence and gives the town a fine view. The attendance and success of the school has given general satisfaction, and the coming year bids fair to be one like unto this. The commencement and Alumni exercises will take place June 29th. There are 201 pupils in this district, and about 150 were in the schools here last year.1 The people have levied a ten mill tax to build a school house for the district, and the contract will be let on the 11th ine. The tax will raise about $1,000. The district school closed a very success ful term of nine months, with a splendid exhibition May 27th. The scholar made great advancement, and the writer has been again employed for the next year at fairer wages. . The directors propose to have a ten months school next year. An able female teacher is wanted for the primal y department of the district school.

A small 25 page pamphlet is just received containing a list of premiums to be awarded to the first and second best of each kind of articles to be on exhibition at the Linu coun ty fair to be held at the fair grounds, near Albany, Oregon, on Sept. 27,. 28, 29, 30 and Oct. 1, 1881. The list seems to be large and compares favorably with premiums gen erally awarded, at this kind of exhibitions. Like all other fairs of which we have any knowledge, this one offers much the largest premiums to running and trotting horses, so that the owners of them will likely walk off with most of the money.
