At 8:30 the steamer "Nellie" left the wharf with the fire depart ment of the city, and by 9 o'clock almost all the rest of the citizens had started and Corvallis was about as quiet as a church yard. But at Albany the scene was a very different one. At an early hour a perfect atream of carriages and wagons were pour ing into town from all quarters, and soon the streets were crowded by a living move ing throng, eager to get all the enjoyment they could out of our national holiday. At 10 A. M. the procession started for Hackle man's grove where the exercises usual on such occasions were carried out. The offi cers of the day were President, Hon. I . Flii.n r-ader of declaration, Hoi. '1. B. Montague; gran i marshal, L C. Dttkey; chaplain, Rev. J. V. Harris. The orator of the dav 'as Hon. M. C. George, who departing from the usual style of orators on itch occasion had selected for his subject "the future of the Northwest," this he de fined as being all that country that w?s dr.du -i by tin Columbia. Uiver and its trib utaries, aid stated that itpos eased sufficient territory and material advantages to make it one of the richest aud most influential sec tions in the world. His address exhibited considerable research, was well prepared And ably delivered.' and if it possessed a f tult it wjs the on i idea that seemed to pre vade the . whole of his argument l hat the Columbia River was the one outlet to the aea for the whole of the vast country men tioned wiiisBpeeu aud of course any friend of Yaquii! . Bay will join issue with him on that question. The address was well re ceived and justly complimented by all pres- The music for the occasion was furnished by the Lalies' Cornet Baud and the Mechan ics Brass Baud, and was of a superior order. A bountiful and excellent basket dinner was prepared in the grove quite sufficient to sat isfy the cravings of the hungry crowd which assembled to pass judgment on the same. After dinner a large number of prizes were distributed, but as they were gener . y warded by committees selected for the purpose, we did not get a complete list, so omit its publication. THE firemen's CONTEST. At 3 P. m., created considerable excitement. Two prizjs were offered, the first $45 for the engine that could throw the greatest dis tance, and second, $35 for the company that could run across two blocks set their engine and throw 100 feet in the shortest time. For the first prize Young A rcerica of Cor vallis entered fceir engine and threw first, twice their hose burst but on the third trial they threw 205 feet and 7 inches. By this time the interest and excitement was great, and No. l's of Albany took the cistern, but only succeeded in throwing 174 feet, so Corvallis was victorious by a large majority, there being no other entries. At 5 P. M. the contest for the second prize took place. The tint engine that started being No. 2 (steamer) of Albany; they run the required distance and threw 100 feet in one minute and ten seconds. Next followed Young America of Corvallis; they did good run ning and. would have carried off the second prize also but from an unfortunate mistake in which no one seemed entirely to blame. The hose cart was stopped just fifty feet short of the proper distance; the mistake was instantly discovered but they were compelled to take up their hose and run the extra distance, and by the time they got ready again the engine was working and the water running through the hose, so they could not connect them and were compelled to withdraw from the field without attempt ing to throw at all. They got water thr nigh, the hose in just 45 seconds. After Young America came No. l's of Albany, who car ried aff the prize, time one minute and three seconds. 'This closed the public exercises of the day, which was followed by a brill iant display of fireworks in the evening and a grand ball given by the firemen, at night. Everything was pleasant. The people of Albany exhibited that degree of hospitality for which they are so justly popular, and peaking for the citizens of Corvallis we say all were more than pleased with the success of the celebration at Albany.

W Mahan, of Junction City, was in the city on last Tuesday aud called at our office. About seventy-five of our citizens went to Portland on the 4tli, and a much larger number celebrated at Albany. Wes. Hinton killed four rattlesnakes last week just west of Monroe, the longest one being nearly six feet long. We are pleased to see the familiar coun tenance of T. J. Buford on the streets again after his recent illness. The Fourth passed off very quietly in Corvallis. Nearly everybody went some where else to celebrate. Mr. H. C. McFarland, of W. T, who is visiting friends in this county, favored the Gazette with a call on Tuesday. We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Bayley, who has been quite sick for some time past, is rapidly improving. Wallis Nash and Zeph Job went to Port land last Tuesday on business conuected with the Yaquina Bay railroad. There are a number of strangers in town, but they seem to know what they want, so we infer that Corvallis is putting on Metro politan airs. Corvallis bos the best drilled fire company and the boss engine of the State. If you don't believe it ask the Albany fire boys, they do. We noticed several immigrant wagons on the street one day this week, and on inquiry ascertained that they were from California and looking for a home in Oregon. On the fourth p ge appears a very in ter es tig ii lnmunication from Portland. Cur correspondent evidently sees the true states of Mr. Viilard's railroad scheme. S. L. Henderson of this city took the prize at the Albany celebration for the neatest fireman. The' prize awarded was a set of gold shirt studs given by Hon. II. S. Struhau. Mr. Milton Hamilton, one of our'Coryal lis boys who has been engineering on the N. P. B. R. for the past two years, has been in Corvallis since .last Friday evening visiting friends.

He has constantly on hand all kinds which he sells cheaper than anybody. Mat. Wilkins was at the Bay last week on a pleasure trip. He tells us that he met fifty-two wagons Saturday on the way to the ocean beach, and that there were between eight hundred and one thousand campers at the Bay when he left. A. Cauthorn & Son have for sale the Cali fornia Adjustible Spring Toothed Cultivator and Harrow, which is undou) tedly the best cultivator in market for the extermination of wild oats and other noxious weeds, and an swers every purpose of the common harrow. The firemans ball at Albany on the Fourth was weU attended and highly enjoyed by all present. The Corvallis people' speak in the highest terms of the kind treatment ex tended them by the Albany fire laddies. The music was of the first order. The Messrs. Warren, of Summit, were in the city on last Saturday and Sabbath, and accompanied by Jas. Roadman, Jr., aud C. Herbert Nasb, went to the State Fair at Salem, stopping at Albany to celebrate the Fourth on Monday. Mr. J. M. Henkle called and subscribed for the Gazette this week. He informs us that while running a mower last Tuesday a colt which was following his team ran sud denly into the machine and before he could stop the sickle cut the colt's leg off. This should be a warning to farmers to keep colts shut up when running this class of cbinery. AMONG THE BREAKERS. As announced in our last this drama was repeated but Friday evening at Hamilton's Opera House under the efficient manage ment of Prof. E. B. McElrov, and as we predicted was very successful in all respects. The drama is one well calculated to call into play the best ability of all engaged. It is a play that has had unrivaled success in larger cities when played by professionals. and was on this occasion as well sustained in all parts as could be done by the number of amateurs required. The east of charac ters : David Murray, the light keeper, was sustained by David Osborn in a manner that brought out in all its glaring heinonsness the revenge of years that bad been fostered by Murray against his foster brother, Bruce Hunter. The character of Bruce Hunter was one of nobility and generosity, and was personated by B. F. Irvine in a manner that would have done credit to a professional. Clarence Hunter, ward of Bruce Hunter, was sustained by Walter Wiles with good taste, and all were glad that he received his reward by securing to himself Miss Bess Starbright, the character of Miss S. being performed by Miss Jessie Taylor in a man ner that exhibited marked ability and called forth considerable applause. Miss Eda Ja cobs in the role of a fashionable young lady (Miss Minnie Daze) was a success and call d out frequent compliments. The humorous characters were Peter Paragraph (Vineyard Brock who seemed to have struck a happy medium between a love-sick youth and a hard-shell Baptist preacher. The Irish was brought out in all its genuine merriment by Dr. Frank Vim ent and Miss Ida Burnett, both of whom are perfectly at home on the Blaze, and provoked repeated rounds of imn.il by their quick wit and ready replies, while R. L. B rnes as Scud brought out all the fun of the negro race in a manner and style that almost invariably brought down the house. Perhaps the most difficult pait to successfully carry out was Mother Carey, but Miss Bertha Neng.vss was equal to the occasion and did it well. Naturally she has an excelleut voice, and on this occasion s' owed splendid training. The music was specially arranged for the occasion by the 2nd Brigade Band and was of the first or der. The tableaux by the aid of colored lights were striking in their effect. The audience was large and the krama appre ciated. The receipts of the evening gross were $51.50 and the expenses $28.12, leav ing a balance for the Company of $23.37. O or Band at Portland. The Corvallis Brass Band came back from Portland after the Band contest on . the 5th without any prizes. This statement, in view of the fact that they were known to have entered for the two prizes offered, namely, the best playing and the best uniform, may seem a little strange to some of our people who have a just pride in our Band, but the fact of their disappointment was that they final ly refused to compete, claiming manifest un fairness on the part of the managers and judges. It seems first that the Northwest ern Band of Portland did not enter until the 2nd, when all entries were to be in on the 1st. Thi3 delay enabled them . to secure several good musicians not members of their Band to play with them on that occasion, and also introduced into their band reed in struments, that do not be'.ong properly to brass bands, but that materially aid the music when skillfully handled. These ob jections were made by the Corvallis and Dallas Bands, and the managers ruled in fa vor of the Portland Baud, when the others withdrew from the contest. Considerable feeling was expressed by the witnesses, and all was in favor of the Corvallis and Dallas Band. The judges decided that Corvallis was entitled to the premium for the finest uniform, but as they had withdrawn from the contest they could not, of course, secure the prize. We are Eorry this difficulty ar-'Se, as our b y& feel confident they would. have been successful. BELLFOUNTAIN A Fatal Traoedy. A most melancholy tragedy occured about 8 P. M . iu Portland, on the 4th inst. Ben Cornelius, an old nnd highly esteemed citizen of Washington county, was shot by a Mr. Powers, who had some ten years ago married Mr. Corne lius' oldest daughter. It seems that from some cause Mr. and Mrs. Powers did not live happily together, and finally separated, Mrs. Powers obtaining a divorce, and it was from some trouble growing out of this sep aration -hat occasioned the killing. Stories conflict in regard to the shooting, but from the best information at haud, it seems that after the exchange of some words the son-in-law drew his pistol and shot Cornelius three times, and that Cornelius then drew a revolver aud shot twice at Powers, one shot taking effect in the neck. Mr. Cor nelious lived about twelve hours after the shooting, while Mr. Powers is in a critical condition at last accounts. On Wednesday evening Mr. John Craw ford, of Albany, whilst repairing the Santi am ditch about a mile from town, discover ed about six feet below the surface of the ground a piece of ivory forming part of a huge tusk. Farther investigation brought other pieces to light, and sevetal teeth and many bones. Ultimately the whole tusk was nnearthed, measuring upwards of seven feet in length. The teeth were found still imbedded in the jaw bone, and are as per fect as when their huge owner lay down to die. These remains, it is believed, belong to a mastadon, one of the most formidable of the extint animals which once inhabited this earth. Badly Cut. Last week while workmen were putting up the frame for a barn for Mr. Wm. Ryles, in the northern part of this county, a broad -ax in the hands of one of the workmen at the top of the barn came off the handle, and falling to the ground struck Mr. Kelley, an old resident of the county, across the breast, inflicting a very serious and painful wound, from which be is now slowly recovering. Music In another column appears the advertisement of Mrs. O. R. Additon as teacher of instrumental music. She gives instructions on either the piano or organ, and is an accomplished musician and experi enced teacher. Persona desiring instruc tion can not do better than call on her. The one hundred and fifth anniversary of American Independence was duly observed and properly celebrated at this place. At early dawn the stillness of the sur rounding country was broken in upon by the reverberating echoes of cannon announcing that the day so dear to every loyal heart had again arrived. Crowds of people from every direction came flocking to the grounds, until at 11 a. m. a- sea of humanity was congregated in the beautiful grove known as the Bellfoun tain camp ground. Mr. Palmer, marshal, ably assisted by Mr. Taylor, preserved good order. Judge Shannon, president of the day, pre sided with becoming dignity. The Philomath band acquitted itself with credit, and added very much towards the enjoyment of the occasion. The exercises of the day began with prayer by Rev. Wood; declaration read by Mr. Bellknap; after which Judge Cheno weth of Corvallis was introduced and for an hour held the audience with rapt atten tion. The Judge is a fine speaker, and be gan by paying the ladies a beautiful and timely tribute for the floral offering found on the stand. The Judge spoke of the free dom we enjoyed in being allowed to express our opinions without let or hindrance, the right to maintain and propagate new philos ophies undisturbed even if their teachings tended to disrupt and break down -old sys tems and thrones; the right of universal suffrage, free press, free schools, love of our government, and kindred topics growing out of the subjects enumerated above. Each received due attention, and were ably dis- ussed by the able and eloquent Judge. At the close of Judge Cheuoweth's remarks, he spoke very feelingly of the attempt made to assassinate the President of the U. S., giv ing to the audience the latest information he had in relation to the wounded mans con dition. The Judge said it is not that Gar field is shot at and wounded, which in itself bad enough, terrible enough, but that this shooting is taking the nations life blood, is a bullet aimed at the liberties of each of us throughout the length and breadth of the land. Many spoke in the highest terms, and all were pleased with the Judge's effort. Dinner occupied about an hour and then the people again assembled and listened attentively to a declaration by Mr. Belknap and an oration by F. M. Johnson, Esq., of Corvallis, both of which was favorably re ceived. Mr. Johnson was quite eloquent at times and evidently pleased those who heard him. Songs for the children, base ball and plug uglies filled in all the intervening space of time during the day. At evening the people went their way to their homes, feeling that the Bellfountain celebration was a success. Stranger. T. J. Buford requests the reading public to call and inspect the following named standard books, published by the American Book Exchange, which he has on 'hand at his news depot in this place for sale at the extreme low prices here given. This pub lishing house has made a revolution in the prices of literary works, which they sell at about one-third of the usual prices. Mr. Buford has been appointed their agent, and will immediately order any of their publica tions not kei t in stock by him, and will sell them at the New York prices, with postage added. These books will compare equally in binding, paper and workmanship with publications of other houses. All the following books are handsomely bi.uad in cloth : 8 vols. Chambers Cyclopedia, Eng.

By many it was considered Judge Chenoweth fairly outdid himself de livering the oration. The same may be said of his partner, Mr. Johnson's speech. Mr. Frank Belknap's manner of reading the Declaration was excellent. At about two o'clock the Plug Uglies put iu an appear ance, after which a social game of ball was played between the Bellefountain and Mud dy boys, which resulted ' in a defeat of the latter by one run. But yet the Muddy boys claim to be the boss club of the county, and say they have coin to back tbeW During the day the Philomath Band dis coursed excellent music. Campmeeting begins here on Thursday, the 7th, and lasts over Sunday. Haying has already begun on volunteer wheat and oats. Crops generally look well. ' There has been a larger acreage of oats sown this year than ever before. All of the patrons of the Gazette are highly pleased with it under its new man agement, as it is now one of the most newsy sheets in Oregon. Long may it prosper. Occasional. Hand Hurt. On the 4th at Albany when the Corvallis firemen were competing for the running prize and in the act of set ting the engine at the cistern Judge McFad den in some unknown way cauaht his left hand, tearing the palm near the thumb in a frightful manner, inflicting a very painful but not dangerous wound. Me. says he has no idea bow the accident happened, as he felt nothing at the time beyond a feeling of numbness, though it baa since been quit pamfoL TELEGRAMS, FROM the oreoonian. Washington, July 3rd. Dr. Bliss states that examinations disclosed the fact that the bullet entered the president's body between the tenth and eleventh ribs on the right -1 f lL ... ' 1 1 . . P situ? oi toe apuiai wiuuui, anu passing tor- ward and downward into and through the lower enj of the right lobe of the liver, and finally lodged in the anterior portion of the abdomen. This morning the physicians decided that no effort will be made at present to extract the ball, as its presence in the location de termined does not necessarily interfere with the ultimate recovery of the president. Mr. Lincoln and Surgeon General Barnes agree in the opinion that the ball entered the cavity of the abdomen, after striking vital parts, but it may have taken such a course as not to have injured any vital organ. Pain in the feet indicated an injury to the spinal column. The doctors are very doubt ful and fear the chances are against him. The pistol was a five-chambered navy re volver of 44 calibre. It makes a hole as large as a musket ball. The three chambers remaining in it were designed for self de fense, or as some think for Blaine. Those who stood near say that when Guitteau was stricken down he made a move as if to shoot Blaine. July 6, 1:30 a. m. At this time the at tendants in the sick room report no notice able change in the condition of the presi dent since midnight. Washington, July 5. Surgeon General Barnes says that the president cannot live. Surgeon Hammond says that the crisis is past. Public anxiety about the president con tinued at fever heat all day. Pleasure or celebrating the fourth of July has been thought of by only a few. A report of un favorable symptoms this evening has drawn a larger crowd around the White House gates to-night than ever liefore. Anxiety is in every household. It is remarkable that scores and perhaps hundreds of people adhere to the same unshaken faith in the president's final recovery that Mrs. Garfield has expressed. "Ho will get well," "I know he will," "I just feel that he will. ' is a declaration of relief frequently uttered. Persons who feel thus do not undertake to account for their feelings on any rational basis. They proclaim it simply as faith that is strong within them, faith that God who rules all nations will spare to this country a president in whom such universal confidence is felt, and who is so universally admired, respected and revered by the peo ple over whom lie rules. Hundreds of persons from the north , s uth, east and west have come to Washing n since Saturday in order that they may be ne-rso as to hear the hrst news. Jfiveiy train brings new arrivals. Mrs. Garfield continues to bear up nobly. She is the only person besides the doctors and nurses who is permitted free access to the president. All physicians agree that the turuing point will probab;y occur to day. The bulletin issued this morning showing further improvement is, in view of the favorable turn affairs took yesterday afternoon and evening, one of the most fa vorable that has appeared. The president this morning expressed himself as compara tively comfortable. Pains in the lower ex tremities have disappeared, leaving behind much muscular soreness and tenderness to touch. Portland, July 6. At 8:30 this morning the president was much better. He passed a very comfortable night. Washington, July 2. Charles Guitteau came here in February last, with recom mendations from parties in Illinois, to se cure the United States consulship to Mar seilles, France. He went in March to Mrs. Lock wood's boarding house. He pretended to know Gjn. Logan and others boarding there. He acted strange at times. When his bill for board was presented he could not Eiy it. He left the house and sent Mrs. oekwood a note stating that he was ex pecting a $6000 position aud would soon pay it. She showed the note to Gen. Logau, who said he was crazy. A gentleman who knew Guitteau at Mil waukie says : During the winter of 1878 and 1879 he had a desk in my office in this city and attempted to practice law here. Hs had but little business. He is not a for eigner by birth as reported, but I think is of French descent. I used to resard him as a little insane. He had some theory in re gard to the Eroteric meaning ot the bible, and claimed it was not generally understood aright. Among those who knew Guitteau is J ndg3 Mallorv, in whose court he had practiced for some time. The judge stated that he was a swarthy, ill-natured fellow, who certainly was not entirely sane. In the municipal court it was stated he was known as the defender of vile women, and never was known to have a raspectable client. Adolpb Heveuden, a practicing attorney who knew him while here, described him as a dork and swarthy-looking individual, who vas evidently troubled with hypochondria, and was full of all manner of visions con cerning every imaginable subject. While here he was busy a portion of the tima writ ing a book on morals. His mind evidently went on contraries, for he was known throughout the city as a wild, vicious character. Chicago, July 2. Charles Guitteau has been more or less known in Chicago for the past ten years. He was a disreputable law yer, aud has generally been considered halt insane. He went to New York 7 or 8 years ago, and upon his return in 1865 be pro fessed to have been converted, and delivered several lectures under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He next appeared at the head of a scrums to buy the Chicago lnter-Ucean, and run it on the plan of the New York Herald, but as he had no capital or backing the matter was soon dropped by him. He bored the newspapers trying to get his arti cles punted. He failed as a lecturer and then began life as a tramp of the respectable order. He was branded by the hotel asso ciation as a dead beat.- He was unusually fond of notoriety, and would go to almost any length to get his name in the papers. He was arrested here once for embezzlement. He got the idea in his head that he was fit for official position, and has been trying witb all his power to get a consulate at Mar seilles. Washington, July 6. A man was arrest ed this morning on Pennsylvania avenue who said that he had come to Washington to kill Blaine, tie was armed with a re volver. His actions were those of a crazy man. When taken to the police station he was unable to give his name. Another crazy man went into the Adjutant-General's office, slapped Gen. Drum on the back and said that he had a revelation . that he must kill Vice President Arthur. He was promptly arrested. TELEGRAPHIC EXPRESSIONS ABROAD. OF ' SORROW London, Eng., July 4. The Post says: No event has so profoundly moved the Eng lish nation for many years, not excepting the assassination of the Czar, as the attempt upon the life of President Garfield". We venture to say that not only in England, but wherever the English laugdage is spoken, the sad tidings have fallen with all the force of a domestic calamity. The Lord Mayor at the Mansion House to-day gave expression to a strong sense of the sympathy of the citizens of London for the distress occasioned by the attempt on Garfield's life. Dublin, Ireland, July 4. The municipal cSkincil, which assembled to-day. expressed great sorrow at the attempt on the life of I the gallant and distinguished president of the United States, and desires to tender its deep sympathy to Americans and Gen. Gar field's family. Vienna, Austria, July 4. Many promi nent persons and foreign representatives vis ited Minister Phelps to express their condo lence on account of the attempt on the life of the president. Newspapers, journals, and all parties without excepting condemn the attempt to assassinate Garfield. Rome, Italy, July 4. Signor Nancini ex pressed condolence to Minister Marsh on behalf of the Italian government. Berlin, Germany, July 4.
