Good tune at the Bay for the Fourth. We learn that there will be an excursion on the Bay, aud a big dance om the largest scow in the evening. Rumor has it that Kit will- make the best of masters of cere monies. We learn that there was a shooting affair at AlbaajTlast Wedtterday between a man called rfarm Spring Charley and a fellow by the name of Neil, resulting in the latter being shot seriously but not fatally. It seems to have been a drunken row in the city siibburbs, and we were unable to get further parUcisiBis, f "f jLJ On last Tuesday evening on the streets of Corvallis, we once move observed the famil liar countenance of Henry C McFarland. He left here last year for Klikitat County, W. T. , where he settled on a farm about 8 miles from the Columbia river. He is here 'or a short time to settle up business and will then return to his newly selected home. His family came down with him. The camp meeting at Robert's bridge, in linn County, was largely attended last Sabbath. Quite a number of Corvallis peo- isters prerched on Sabbath: At 11a. m. Rev, W. C. Chapman, of Corvallis; at 3 r. X. Rev. Mr. Lambert, of Salens, and im the evening Rev. Mr. Sayles, of Brownsville. There were a large number of campers and thswery best' order observed during the en tire exercises. plaint. 50 cents and $1.00 a bottle. City politics in Portland are settling down after the boiling stage of last week. Mayor Thompson has the show by one vote at present, and as the ultimate decision rests with the Common Council, Joe Simon stands very good chance of staying out in the cold. We understand that Bishop Morris is in great trouble over the special extra assess ments of about $4000 for street improve ments in Portland around St Helen's Hall and Bishop Scott's Grammar School. Rather a heavy price for locating in the commercial metropolis of the Northwest. J. M. Rankin, formerly of this city but now of Ashland; writes us that the woolen mills at that place are running to their full capacity, and other business corresponding ly brisk. Mr. R. also appreciates good reading nutter and sends an order for the Gazette. We make our most polite bow to the sec retary of the Oregon State Agricultural So ciety for a complimentary ticket to the ap proaching State fair. A large crowd ia ex pected and every effort is being mtde to make the fair a perfect success, and it cer tainly deserves to be. . A few days since we counted one hundred pie were present. The following named niin- land sixty-three pods on one Windsor bean "Among the Breakers" to-night. See the July "Colonist" this week. Wm. A. Yantis, of Linn county, was in the city yesterday on business. Dr. F. M. Carter, of Philomath, was in the city yesterday and favored us with a call W. S. Walker; President of Philomath College, was in town on Wednesday and fa vored the Gazette office with his presence. Marshal Pygall was in onr office Wednes day. He has been suffering from the effects of a billions attack and is not looking well. Mr. Nofgsker will talk temperance at the Evangelical church next Monday evening, followed by a reading by one of the boys. Singing as usual. Seryices will be held by Rev. B. E. Hab ersham at the Episcopal church in this place, in the morning and evening on Sun day, July 3d. John Wiles, one of Oregon's oldest resi dents and a prosperous farmer from near Wtlls station, favored us with a call this week and renewed his subscription to the Gazette. Mr. Wiles is a man who appre ciates the news of the day and always takes the Gazette to find it. The material belonging to the Albany Register was sold at public auction last Thursday and purchased by Col. Van Cleave for 1340. We are informed that Mr. Van Cleave intends starting up the Register again and we wish him all success in the en terprise. For Albany. -The fire department of Corvallis have succeeded in getting a boat for the Fourth of July, and will take Young America Engine to Albany on that day to compete for the prizes offered. This insures a large delegation of Corvallis people at the Albany celebration. More Railroads. Articles of incorpo ration of the Salt Lake aud Western rail road, were filed in Carson City, June 17th. The road will run from Salt Lake through Nevada to San Francisco to compete with the Central Pacific. Gould and Dillon aie backing the scheme. Died. At Mitchell, Wasco county, June 15th 1881, Agnes, wife of Jas. E. L. Keyes. She leaves a husband and three infant chil dren. The be. cave 1 busb.'.nd is a sou of David L. Keyes of this county, and is well known to many of our readers who will deeply sympathize with him in this sad dis pensation oi providence. Immigrants Quite a number of immi grants have arrived in Corvallis during the last week who expect to make Benton Co. their future home. Among them we have met the following, Samuel Beal and family, W. A. Beal and family of Hampton, 111.; Frank S. Ball, Moline, I1L, aud G. W. Ziou and family from Missouri. They all express themselves satisfied with the coun- try. The Comet. The comet has been one of the chief topics of conversation for the past week. It seems to be an erratic sort of a creature having no permanent abiding place ahd no definite time for its appearance. At first it was only after midnight, but when the young people commenced to make this an excuse for late hours, the careful parent discovers to his infinite gratification that it was visible at nine o'clock and Adolphm no goes home at 10 p. m. as u. u vi. Married. In this city, yesterday morn ing, Jane 30th, 1831, Mr. Allan Wilson and Miss Mo'lie Kelly were united in marriage at the residence of the bride's mother, Rev. H. P. Dnuuing officiating. The wedding was a very quiet one, there being no on-; present except the imme liate family of the contracting parties. Mr. Wilson aud wife took the 8:30 train for PofMand and will be absent for a few days. We trust their lives may ever be as bright and cheerful as the morning on which tuey commenced Ire s journey together. Philomath College. The catalogue of Philomath College for the present year is on our table. We are pleased to note the fact that this excellent institution of learning is in a prosperous condition and fast becoming one of the first literary institutions in the State. As citizens of Benton county inter ested in its welfare we rejoice in the pros perity of our neighboring town aud her excellent College. plant, which has stood ont all winter in the bed where the beans grew last year. Each pod will average three beans. The largest yield anyone has ever heard of from one root The plant ia in the garden of Mr. Wallis Nasb, at his hill farm one mile from town. Reported Dying. Last Sunday evening the report reached Lebanon, Linn county, thitGen. M. V. Brown, ex-state printer, was lying at Lower Soda, iu a dying condi tion, softening of the braih had set in and death was pronounced inevitable. Mrs. Brown was at the bedside of her husband, and word w as sent to Mrs. Stewart, at Al dany. the mother of Mrs. Brown, for her to lose no time in coming to Lower Soda. Mr. Brown went to that place several weeks ago in hopes of benefitting his health. If not already dead, his death may be anticipa ted at any time. Still Missing. Little Jimmie Hachehy, who disappeared on last Sunday evening in Portland, is still missing, notwithstanding diligent and careful search has been made for the child. The parents are half dis tracted over the terrible suspense. The most thorough search fails to reveal the least trace of the boy, which is certainly & strange circumstance. As he was seen last on the dock near the foot of Washington Street, it seems but a reasonable supposition that the boy fell overboard and drowned. Search is "still being, kept up for the missing one. Among the Breakers. This play was presented to the public at the close of the school at the Agricultural College, under the excellent management of Prof. E. B. McElroy, and afforded the most perfect sat isfaction. Since that time Messrs Leo Stock, Wm. Yates and Wm. Robinett have left town, and their places will be supplied by Masrs Frank Irvin, F. A. Vincent and R, L. Barnes, all of whom possess decided talent. The drama will be repeated to-night at Hamilton's ball for the benefit of Monumen tal Engine company No. 2, and will afford one of the finest opportunities for enjoying j an evening that will be offered for some ' time to come. The admission is only 25 cts j anS everyone should attend. Prof. C. Et Magers, of Independence, the Superintendent of public instruction for Polk county, accompanied by Prof. Frank Rigler of Buena Vista, were in Corvallis the first of the week and favored lis with a call. Both these gentlemen are accomplished scholars and teachers and the cause of edu cation will be advanced wherever they may be located. We are informed that John Petty, Jas. Hervey and Jas. Harris, of Albany, were arrested last Monday charged with selling liquor on the camp grounds at Robert's bridge last Sabbath, and at last reports their trial had been postponed for witnesses, though conviction seemed inevitable. The law is ample in its provisions for the pro tection of camp raestings if they will only protect themselves, and this looks as though they intended to do so. Attention Farmers. The undersigned has an eight horse Pitt's thresher, down power, and a ten foot Haines header; also a self rake reaper and mower combined, all of which I will sell cheap for cash or will trade either of them for horses, cattle or sheep. For particulars enquire at my farm, 5 miles soutftwest of Philomath, on the Alsea road . C. Bird Wells. An Editor Shot. Rsv. L A. Banks, formerly a resident of Corvallis, but now residing in Vancouver, W. T., where he ed its the "Pacific Censor," was shot in the thigh on last Thursday by a man named Sperry, inflicting a painful but not danger ous wound. The alleged cause of the as sault was that Banks had published some rather serious charges against drunkards in that town, but did noi give any names. The fell ow Sperry, however, took a portion of the article to himself and attacked the edit or with a revolver. The assault is said to have been a very cowardly one aud that Mr. B's conduct was manly and courageous. Sperry is under arrest charged with an as sault with iutent to kill. Star Routes. From our former school mate and friend, J. E. Greer of Alsea, we le.trn that there has been star route frauds in our own county. That a mail route from Gardner, Douglas county, to Collins, on Lower Alsea, was recently discontinued; that the original contract was with an east ern man at a contract price of $2593, and the man who carried tie mail was doing so on a sub-contract at $600, and claimed that the compensation was sufficient. The route seems also to have been entirely useless, as it run down the beach between the two mentioned places through an uninhabited country, and the first year there was only three letters and no other matter carried over the toute, and we s;jeak understand ingly when we say that bids werj forward ed to the postal department to carry the mail over this route for less than half the amount of the contract price stated. State University We are in receij t of a ueat catalogue of the State University at Eugene. Under the law governing vhis institution, each county in this state is en titled to one scholarship in the collegiate department of the University, and an ad di ional scholarship therein for each mem ber and joint member of tha Legislative As sembly to winch such county may at the time be entitled. Ai pi c nits for scholarship must spply to the county Superintendent of their county in writing at least a month before the commencement of the school year in which they wish to enter, and must pass an examination by the superintendent of their own county and then by the Faculty of the University. No person is eligible to schol arship in the University unless he or she has been a resident of the county where the application is made for at least one year. School Exhibition. The spring term of school at the Newton district, four miles south-west of Corvallis. closed last Saturday with a pleasant exhibition in the evening. At an early hour people from the vicinity came flocking in from every direction, and at 8 o'clock the exercises commenced with instrumental music, after which Annie Wood delivered a salutatory, which was fol lowed with short and spicy declamations by C. Cupple, Effie Ingle, Otto Allen and Ida Ingle; also part of the "Aleg tor," by Joe. Mulky. The dialogue, "Be kind to the poor," was well executed by several little girls. Lena DuBxille sang about "Kisor" that didn't want to buy a dog. Recitations by L Wood, Hattie Ing'e, Bertha Davis, Harvey Newton, C. Dixon, M. Wood, Annie Wood, Laura Bohannon, Rufus Bo hannon and Maty Davis. The entertain ment was interspersed with music, dial ogues, and charades. In this short and hurried account many pleasant features have been omitted. The hearty thanks of teacher and pupils are extended to all who kindly assisted in making the affair a suc cess. Mr. Bennett has taught seveial terms at this place and his services have hcen se cured for the coming autumn and winter. Sphinx. YAQUINA bay. The schr Alpha, Capt. Starsmith, mer chandise for C. H. Williams, arrived on the 22d. The Kate ft Annie, Capt Lutsens ar rived the same day with merchandise for Acklam and Bishop, Siletz and Oneatta. Messrs Acklam & Bishop are erecting a store at Ollallie slough, on the Bay, and will be a great convenience to the people of that neighborhood. The Gen'l Wright sailed for Coos Bay on the 24th. She will load with coal and re turn. The Kate ft Annie goes from here to Al sea with goods for H. Lutjena. - A new wharf on the site of A. W. Wright's old wharf, will be commenced iu a-j few days. A grand time is anticipated on the 4th, and will conclude with a graqd ball at Wright's hall. The anchor crib; put down some two weeks ago, raised last night and came ashore. This crib was 25 ft square, 9 feat deep, with brush bed 3 feet deep on the bottom, and was filled with 2 scow loads of rock, probably 200 tons. The removal of this by the action of the waves is an indi cation of what is to come. STATE NEWS. The five-montha-bld infant child of Mis. and Mr. L. C. PaBner, of Vancouver, says t h i Independent, was found dead in bed by its parents, on Sunday morning, on awake ning. The cause of its death is a mystery, although it had not been in full health for a few days. The sudden blow is a great grief to the family. The body of J. Denyer who was pulliing boat for Coekei of t and was lost with him, was picked up Thursday, says the Astorian, and brought to Astoria for buriaL He was found by Mr. Andrew Johnson, fisbiug for Badollet ft Co., aud brought to Astoria in one of Cook's boats. H13 uncle at Turner Station was notified by telegraph. James M. Offield, who shot and killed Mathew Montgomery near Almota, in Col umbia County, W. T., some time ago on ac count of some land troubles, was on prelim inary examination at Pomeroy, acquitted, having clearly established the fact that the killing was done in self defence Mr. Offield was for many years a resident of Clackamas County where he was considered an upright, honorable citizen. His friends in this local ity will be pleased to learn of the fact of his acquittal. The Salem Statesman of the 24th says: Another crime has been commited, but by whom, will perhaps remain a mystery, un less it be made known by some conscience stricken mother. Wednesday last while Wm. Hodson was walking on the river bank, he discovered a small wooden box lying near the water's edge. He picked it up and raising the lid, found wrapped in a white skirt a pretty boy baby, apparently two or three days of age. In the bottom of the box was a large brick. Some person had evidently thrown the box into the river a few day 8 before, and the river receding hail left it exposed on the bank. 'Squire Johnson took the baby in charge and gave it a de cent burial. Last Thursday, says the Telegram well dressed young man whs enticing a little girl about five or six years of age to a vacant lot at the corner of Eleventh and H streets where he was endeavoring to get to a place concealed from observation, when an older sister of the chiid made the discovery that her little sister missing, and looking out saw her just disappearing led by the hand of the villain who was enticing her away. So soon as he caught sight of the young lady appro aching the fellow pulled his hat down over his eyes and leaving the little girl, made off as rapidly as possible. From the child3 sto ry, the purposes of the vile scoundrel were understood to be of the basest character. At about 10 oclock this forenoon Dr. D. W. Ward was' called to attend a child in Stephens' addition who hid, while playing with an iron screw, attempted to swallow it, says the Telegram. When the Doctor reached the little patient, only about two years old, it was almost suffocated and was perfectly black in tne face. The screw was so far down in the throat as to be beyond reach, and was accordingly pushed on down into the stomach. Of course the child was instantly relieved, and will, tha Doctor says experienced no further difficulty with its pe culiar food. Other and similiar screws, with which the child was playing, were shown the physician, which, he says were ordinary inch screws, such a are used by carpen ters in hanging doors. Who has not noticied the different effect hot weather has upon men and women? A man will go fuming down the street, coat un buttoned, suspenders flying, purling like an engine, moping his face and swearing at eve ry step. Immediately behind him sails a lady dressed in some soft, flimsy, white ma terial, a bonnet pinned coquettishly on her shoulder, a dainty little parasol over head, looking cool, collected and happy, without a ruffle misplaced or a flounce out ot order. The sight of her is soothing to the mind and cooling to the eye and tho reverent man removes his hat and forgets to say "aiuf it hot." Ex. A dispatch several days since ann lanced the. death of E. G. White, of Oakland, Douglas county, by the accidental discharge of a ;un in his own hands. A correspondent from that place gives the following particu lars of that event: "Saturday brought forth one of the saddest accidents that ever befel this section. E. G. White and family and John and Will Crouch were preparing to go blackberrying. After they were all in the wagon ready to start, thev found they had forgotten a shot gnn they hail intended to take. Mr. White returned to the house for the same. While putting the last charge of shot iu Mr. White discovered te had put both charges into one barrel. He turned the gun up, emptying the shot into his band, and as he went to let the gun to the !! r again the hammer struck the lounge, causing the gun to discharge, taking effect in one side of his face, almost completely tearing it away, causing his brains to ooze out. Death was instantaneous. Telegram. OHAPTER of accidents. Mrs. John H. Lillis, while walking on College street on last Monday in Portland, between Fifth streets, with a child, the little one stepped on the end of a loose plank in thsside walk, causing the other end to fly up and trip Mrs. Lillis, who fell and broke an arm and dislocated one of her shoulders The fracture of the arm is a very bad one, the bone being much splintered Mr. Lillis intends commencing suit for damages at once. Captain L. W. Poole, an old resident of Astoria, attempted suicide at that place on Saturday evening last by shooting himself in the left breast. He was sitting in the office of the Occidental Hotel at the time. He has been , .-'cring from rheumatism and while brooding over his illness brought on a fit of despondency, during which he sought to end his misery. Mr. C. C. Phillips, while engaged in run ning a machine, called a sticker, on last Tuesday, at the corner of Second and E streets, Portland, one of his thumbs came in contact with a sharp pointed and swiftly re volving knife, and the first joint was cut off with the exception of a piece of the skin. While Mr. J. Clark, of Portland, was out driving with his family, his son Willie was thrown from the seat of the buggie striking his head on the ground, which stunned him j DIED. In this city yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, Lbcinda J. , wife of Thomas J . Blair, of this, city. Lucinda J. Montgomery, daughter of Jno. G. and Martha Montgomery, was born in tne State of Virginia in the year 1829, and in early childhood removed with her parents to the State of Iowa, where she was mar ried to Thomas J. Blair on the 27th day of January, 1851. In 1853, in company with her husband, she undertook and accom plished the long and tiresome journey across the plains to Oregon, arriving in this State in the Fall of the sam-; year, and settled in Benton county, where they have ever since resided. Abtiut two weeks since she was taken sick with neuralgia- of the heart, but by the almost superhuman skill of physicians the disease was for a time controlled and hopes were entertained of her recovery until a few days since. Mrs. Blair was a faithful and devoted wife and mother, a kind neighbor, a true friend and a consistant Christian. More cannot be said in her praise. She was a member of the Methodist church. Her family, wl-o are now grief stricken with this sail affliction of Divine providence, consist of her husband and three daughters, namely, Mrs. Martha Sawtell and Misses Ella and Clara Blair, the youngest being about ten years old. The afflicted family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends, who feel that they too have sus tained a severe loss by this untimely dispen sation. Ihe funeral will take place from the fam ily residence to-day at 11a. M. The ser vices will be conducted by Rev. H. P. Dun nine, after which the remains will be laid to rest in Crystal Lake Cemetery. To Farmers. Study the facts. "A dol ar saved is as good as two dollars er.raed.' The McCormick Twine Binder uses 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 " wire at 12Jc " 31JC Difference in favor of twine, lljc. If you intend to purchase a binder Jstudy these facts. Don't be deceived but weigh and measure the twine offered you. The McCormick for 18S1 is made for a Twine Binder, and has no twenty dollar attach ment to use cord. Every machine warrant ed as a twine binder. Do not give your or ders until you examine the McCormick Twine Binder for 1881, with wrought iron drive wheel.
