We understand that Bishop Morris is in

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

was a very quiet one, there being no on-;
present except the imme liate family of the

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. Woodcock & Baldwin,
