Mr. Albert Wright has been visiting in Corvallis and Lane county for several weeks, returned to Umatilla county Tuesday. Our old and valued friend, Dr. John Bos well, accompanied by his daughter Miss Emma Boawell, are in the city. The printers of Salem will give a grand picnic to-day.

Linck, A. P. Perm, Jas. Parish, J. W. Sheppard, J. W. Watts, M D. N. Barber, P. M Advertised June 24th. Hon. M. C. George our member of Con gress will deliver an address at the coming, celebration at Albany. His subject will be "The future of the Northwest" The sub ject is a little out of the regular Order of things upon such occasions, but we think the innovation a good one. Mr. George being an able and eloquent speaker, will without doubt make the subject unusually interesting to his hearers. Probably no more striking evidence is furnished of changed opinion in the South than that of Frederick Douglas, a former slave, not only being permitted, but invited to deliver the address on Memorial Day at Harper's Ferry, in Virginia. He spoke from the very platform in front of a black smith shop which old John Brown had oc cupied some twenty years before him. His remarks were eulogistic of the anti-slavery hero, and his speech throughout is said to have been the most eloquent of his life. A notable episode of the occasion was the con gratulations be received from the Virginia State's Attorney who conducted the prose cution against John Brown. The scene is described as having been very impressive. T. J. Buford Keeps ail of the leading Newspapers, Magazines, Novels, etc. Fruit jars at Ray's. Ex-Senator Henry S. Lane, of Indiana, is dead.

The wool season has commenced, We heard of a large "pool" last week but did not learn the particulars of the sale if any was effected. Giles Hodges has a store at Felgar's Mill, on Mary's river, where lie keeps groceries, provisions, books and stationery. This is on the Yaquina road and a good stand. There is considerable excitement about the Alsea quartz mines. We have seen a number of specimens that have every indi cation of being rich in the precious metal.

Over4,000 sold in Portland, 1,000 in Sa lem, 300 inEugene. The latter part of last week two traveling medicine men, dressed in the georgous ap parrel and paint of Indians, yelled the va rious curative qualities of their drugs on the street corners, but not succeeding in crea ting much excitement or comment they "folded their tents like the Arabs and stole silently away." Our Senior, the large fat man James, en joyed a flying trip to our beautiful neighbor town, Albany, Wednesday afternoon to at tend to some legal business for the firm, and after he had climbed with much difficulty into the buggy, which was just large enough to only contain one of his ponderous propor tions, the team pressed slowly and steadily forward to duty as if they had never before experienced such a load. We love music and we are not very choice about the kind. We enjoy music of every kind and description from the finest operat ic singing down to those miserable fiddles so often heard in China wash houses, but there came to our town a lone exile from Erin, Missouri, Africa, or some other coun try, Wednesday and he brought with him those soul stiring. ear splitting bag pipes and well, yes, we do love music but this mas pleases us to well. iurad jS free . which they stock of gro- thousands ebility em ale to any ad- Commencement at Christian College. The commencement exercises at Christian College, Monmouth, Oregon, took place last week. The Associate Alumni met on Monday evening in the College Hall, and the meet ing was well attended. The exercises con sisted of an address by Mr. M. S. Wallis of Eugene City, an essay by Miss Rosa Bentley of Monmouth, and a poem by Miss Nancy Springer, of Idaho, all of which were ex ceedingly interesting and meritorious. On Tuesday evening the Hesperian and Vespertine literary societies united in an entertainment, and were favored with an excellent address by Hon W. D. Fenton of Lafayette. On Wednesday evening the commence ment exercises proper took place. The class this year consists of four members, Messrs Jay Butler and W. E. Richardson, and Miss Anrie Colwell and Rebecca Watkins. We are informed that the class acquitted them selves with credit, and that their orations and essays showed that their minds were well stored with practical information. At the close of the exercises of the class and an essay and recitation by the represen tatives of the literary societies, President Campbell delivered the Baccalaureate ad dress, which was replete with good thought and pertinent suggestions. The alumni had a pleasant reunion at the residence of Mr. Wolverton on Monday evening after the exercises, and the literary societies had a similar one in their society rooms on Tuesday evening. Come and Gone. Last week Marshal Pygall hearing that two strangers were just in the act of retiring for the night in a barn in the south part of town, and being really a kind hearted man, and fearing that these men might take cold sleeping in this unpro tected barn, (there was no fence around it, ) kindly offered them a bed in the city hotel back of the engine house, which was accep -eel, and, the next morning accompanied them to the city limits and bid them farewell. e are informed that the parting was one that would melt the most obdurate heart. The strangers felt keenly the distinguished honor that had been shown them by this more than human officer, while Al is report ed to have delivered to them the following short but impressive address: "Gentlemen, in bidding you farewell on this occasion, it is with the most profound feelings of respect for the memory of your departure. May your future career be long, prosperous and in another clime; may your jottrney be long and uninterrupted, with your face toward the rising sun and your back toward Cor vallis." Here the speaker paused, anAhis auditors thinking that his feelings hacfW'er came him attempted to stammer forth their acknowledgment of gratitude, but were stop ped by a gesture from Al in a direction from the city, accompanied by the eloquent and forcible expression, "git!" and they got. Indian Outbreak. On last Monday fore noon our quiet town was thrown into con siderable excitement over a difficulty end ing in a street fight between Abe Reizor and a man named Johnson on one side and Indian Jack and another of the dusky tribe whose name we did not learn. It seemed that on Sabbath Reizor and Johnston had some difficulty with these Indians about a boat at the ferry that crosses to the Island just above Corvallis, resulting at that time in the Indians throwing rocks and clubs at the white men for awhile and finally shoot ing at them. The men then came to Cor vallis to procure a warrant, but failing to make a sufficient case to procure their ar rest, they hunted up the Indians and an al tercation ensued in which no one was par ticularly hurt. The parties at least got themselves into the police court and the result was that one Indian was sent up for 12 days and the other for 20 days. Editors Gazette.

Last Satur day evening as John Riccard was starting home in a light spring wagon, and when opposite H. E. Harris' store his horses from some unknown reason sprang suddenly for ward and the forward wheels striking a cross walk, the seat on which Mr. R. was sitting beeame detached from its fastenings and threw him out of the wagon, striking the ground with considerable violence. His shoulders first struck the ground, and by almost a miracle he was not hurt other than the jar. Fishing Party. Messrs. Jas. and Geo. Foster, Thos. Overman, and Mr. Gray, of Albany, passed through Corvallis Monday enroute for the head waters of Mary's river on a fishing excursion. They were driving a rather spirited horse that was "unequally yoked" with a very slow and lazy mule, and taken al'. together, it was about as "happy co lucky" a crowd as we have seen for a week. "Bullet" was driving and seemed to be boss' of the expedition. Temperance Meeting. The usual tem perance meeting was held at the Evangelical church last Monday evening. A large audi once was in attendance and a good pro gramme presented and well executed throughout. The address of the evening was by Rev. Joseph Emery and was fully up to the justly popular reputation of Prof. Emery as a lecturer. These meetings wil be continued as usual. Fon the Bay Jas. Rader one of the Yaquina stage men informs us that the roads between this place and Newport are in excellent condition again and actually alive with pleasure seekers. That on last Thursday he met no less than thirty wagons on their way to the sounding sea, and near ly half that number Friday. Dr. Talmage on the Revison. A few days since Dr. Talmage, in the morning ser vice at the Brooklyn, N. Y. tabernacle, at tacked the new revision of the New Testa ment in the most scathing manner. He be gan the assault by stopping abruptly in the Lord's Prayer after the petition "deliver us fiom the evil one," and observing without the formality of an "amen," "I shall have to stop there for the new revision has struck out the doxology. " When he took up the bible for the morning lesson he said "I will read from the 5th chapter of John." Then he turned over the leaves and stopped as if disappointed and astonished and continued, "no the revision has done away with that." Then he turned to another chapter and be gan to read but stopped again, saying "no; that has perished too." He did the same with a third selection and finally paid, "We shall have to take the Old Testament. The Old Testament company has not reported and will not for two years. I will read from the 19th Psalm." In his sermon he pronounced the revision a literary botch and predicted that it would never be ' accepted in this country if the people would only speak their minds. lie gave as a reason against its adoption, that the changes were in immaterial matters and actually trivial. That while no new doctrines were bronght out and no old ones destroyed, that the lan guage only and not the facts were changed, yet the change was so great as to do away with the "old family bible," the uniniated being unable to find any certainty except in the record of births and marriages. The sermon as reported was eloquent and forci ble and contained many pertinent argu ments that we have not space at this time to mention. To Farmers. Study the facts. "A dol lar saved is as good as two dollars earned.' The McCormiek Twine Binder U3es a twine measuring 750 feet to the pound, and wastes no time in making small bundles, but makes every bundle the same size. Other binders in the market use twine so large,- it costs as much or more than wire. Figures won't lie: 750 feet of twine at 20 cts. per lb. 20c. 750 " wireatl'2Jc " 31JC.

Do not give your or ders until you examine the McCormiek Twine Binder for 1881, with wrought iron drive wheel. Woodcock & Baldwin, Agents, Corvallis, Oregon Base Ball. Last Saturday the second match game of Base Ball was played be tween the Shedd and Philomath clubs on the grounds of the latter. Quite a large crowd was in attendance and considerable interest manifested. The following are the names of the players: Shedd club, James Keaton, c; Dan. Troutman, p: R. 'Fletcher, 1st b; L. G.

This is the second game played and as the Philomath club has won both games, this ends the match. The Shedd boys are not satisfied yet, and will play another game at Shedd Station to-morrow. The H.vlsey Mystery Again. We are indebted to Mr. Rob't Elder of Linn coun ty for the information that Mr. Francis who disappeared from Halsey some time since and whose return wc mentioned last week is still id a condition of health that renders his recovery very doubtful. It is reported that he has a bullet wound in his head that his physician thinks will produce death. Mr. Francis in giving a description of the diffi culty at the bridge and his subsequent car rying away, says that he met a man and womau that were unknown to him at that place, that they were in a light spring wag on, and stopped to talk and that while in conversation he was shot and that all the rest is a mystery to him, that all his money and valuables were taken from him but his pistol left on his person, and with this he killed a squirrel and a bird or two which was all the food he had during his absence and that they were eaten raw. Serious Accident. A Mr. Hoovenden who we are informed lives at or near French's prairie, while travelling the road from here to the Yaquina bay this week with a team and a vehicle containing eight or ten persons, went off the grade over the bluff, the vehicle tipping over and bury ing its occupants so completely that it took some time to extricate them from their per ilous condition. A lady whose name we have not learned had her leg badly broken. Dr. Boswell came along on his way to this place just . in time to render the neccessary surgical and medical aid. Our informant states that the road at that place was sufficiently wide so as to permit vehicles to easily pass each other. We have not learned of any special reason why this accident occurred at a place where the road is of such width. Accident. On Wednesday of last week while Frank Litchfield, son of G. P. Litch field,, of Salem, aged about 10, was riding a horse he fell off, and striking the ground head first was so stunned for an hour or two he was unable to regain his right mind. His injuries are thought not to be serious. Social Dance We acknowledge an invi tation to a social dance to be given at the residence of Will Stillson next Wednesday, the 29th inst.

The British bark Ethel arrived at Portland last week from Liverpool with a cargo of merchandise, part of which was for Astoria. She has been chartered by Corbett & Mac leay to load with salmon and flour for Liv erpool. Mrs. Elkins, wife of Hon . Luther Elkins, died at her residence in Lebanon on Tues day last, aged 75 years. It is supposed the death of this honored matron was the result of an accident which occurred to her while coming to Alhany in a buggy, soma three weeks ago. The horses took fright and she was thrown between the buggy and the wheels, and in that condition dragged some distance. The funeral services took place yesterday at Lebanon, conducted by Rev. Dillon and others. Herald. 1'ROM THE DAILY STANDARD. A stabbing affray took place near Cor bett's livery stable, on second street at an early hour Saturday morning, in which Wil liam Humbell recived a severe wound in the legion of the heart, and Edward Kennedy was' badly cut on the hand and arm. The parties named had been drinking and play ing cards at the Ivy Green, a dive of the lowest order, and on leaving were accompa nied by one Manuel Hernandez, a Spaniard who had been drinking and was quarrel some. They crossed the street together and some difficulty arose, when Hernandez drew a large pocket knife and aimed a blow at Humbel. The knife pierced through a memorandum book in his breast pocket and inflicted a fearful wound in his left side from the effect of which he sank fainting to the ground. Hernandez then attacked Kennedy and gave him a gash across the hand and arm, and then seeing officer Branch ap proaching he fled. He was pursued by the officer and captured. A quarrel took pl-.ee in a gambling hell in Portland between the dealer at a faro table and Frank Barker, caused by some dispute about a bet. After striking Barker the dealer reached down for his pistol, when such a grabbina for checks and coin, and such getting down stairs ensued as one seldom sees. Barker swore outa war rant for the arrest of the dealer and says he will close up eyery game in the city. A fracas took place in the Governor's of fice at Salem a few days since between W. P. Miller, warden of the state Penitentiary and Geo. Collins, who runs the brick ma king there. It seems that Collins desired the services of a particular prisoner, also as an expert in brick making, and Miller re fused to let him have him, claiming that the man did not want to work for Collins. Some words ensued, and Collins struck Mil ler in the face. A disgraceful row occurred at the bagnio kept by the notorious Carrie Bradley in Portland, on Saturday morning, which came near resulting in the destruction of the ill-famed place. It seems that the in mates had been indulging in a grand carouse which culminated in a quarrel between the mistress of the establishment and her para mour, one Charley Hamilton. He proceed ed to beat her after the usual style of such fellows, and when he was interrupted in this by those present, he said he would set fire to the place, and accordingly seized a large coal oil lamp and smashed it on the floor. The burning oil spread over the carpet and added a new element to the danger of the affair. The fire was extinguished by those present by spreading bed clothing over it, and throwing on water, but not till alarm had been sounded, and companies One and Three had arrived at the place. Hamilton was arrested and brought up before his hon or Judge Steams Saturday. He was held under bail to the sum of $500 on the charge of felony in trying to burn the house, and $50 on the charge of assault and battery. A man by the name of Pat Burns was shot at the saloon at tunnel No. 1, below the Dalles on Friday last, by Wm. Pierce. Both were intoxicated at the time. Burns ran the men out of the saloon, cutting one named Quinn in the neck. Pierce came in again and was attacked by Burns with a knife, when the former discharged one bar rel of a shotgun into Burn's left side. A singular accident occurred at Antelope, Wasco county, resulting in the death of Frank Driver, nephew of Rev. L D. Dri ver. He was engaged in shearing sheep when a pair of shears in the hands of comrade were kicked into his side killing him at once. On the 14th inst., near Wawawai, five milef above Almota, in a dispute over a land dlaim, Wash Offield shot and killed Math ew Montgomery. The Ofnelds, father and son were engaged in tearing down Montgom ery's fence. A valuable young horse, the property of Mr. Strowbridge, while being driven around the streets one day last week by a trainer named Ross, who was engaged to break him reared up and fell over backward and broke his neck. That finished the operation of breaking him and he may be considered "dead broke." Tailoring. Mr. Wm. Morris, late of England, has opened a tailor shop two doors north of the Vincent House.

We will give full particulars in due tima. KING'S VALLEY. We have had a fine rain, sufficient to thoroughly wet the ground, insuring good crops the coming harvest. The county court has ordered a bridge to be built . across the Luckiamute at Frantz's mill in this valley. We believe that the Narrow Guage road will come this fall, and we also have faith in the Yaquina railroad sufficient to believe that it will be built. We attended the blue ribbon picnic in Blodgett's Valley, on the Lgth, and were pleased to see so much intere t taken in the cause of temperance. The meeting was pre sided over by S. M. Wood, teacher of the school at tliat place. The m' eting was ad dressed by Hon. Jas. Chambers of King's Valley, Dr, Carter and father A'len of Phi lomath. The exercises passed off quietly and pleasantly. I must ask you to make one correction' You stated that some defeated democratic candidate had bean fighting the Yaquina railroad through the columns of the Blade. Now I happen to know more defeated repub lican candidates have indulged in that kind of sport, than democrats. This statement appeared in a late issue of the Gazette, and this request is made simply for the sake of fairness, and I could give names it necessa ry, but as this i3 not intended as a thrust at any party, I give no names. It has been remarked that the Blade was suppressed and Cassius with it, but Cassius still lives. Cassius. YAQUINA BAY. The U. S. S. Shubrick came in on the 16th, took up two buoys and laid two new ones. She crossed the bar 1 efore high wa ter, finding 17 ft. After attending to the buoys she passed out after the tide had fal len some. The people of the valley will ap preciate tnis evidence of good sense cn the part of those in charge, as it looks much better than laying off the bar while vessels of deeper draft come and go at pleasure. There are two scows loaded with rock anchored off McLain's point. An "anchor crib" is tied to Hammond wharf, and everything is being placed in readiness to close the south channel. Campers are numerous and more coming. The Bay will be very lively this summer. Rialto. BELLEFOUNTA1N ITEMS- The coming fourth is the principle topic for discussion here. Hon.
