John Buchanan was in town yesterday,

do any damage.
Enoch Boyle, a shoemaker at Albany, left
word with hia wife a few days age that he
intended going to another world, since
which time he has not been seen, and as he
gave no intimation as to which route he
would take, difficulty may be experienced in
ascertaining his whereabouts.
The principal reason why people do not
visit stores that do not advertise is because
the do not wish to disturb the clerks, who
are reading dime novels behiad tho counter,
and because they have to pay such a high
profit on the goods they buy in order to
make such merchants whole on the custom
they have lost by their failure to advertise.
We are endeavoring to make the Gazette
live newspaper, and in order to do so have
been at considerable expense in making im
provsments in the office, at the same time
our running expenses are very heavy, we
seed money and would be greatly obliged
if ear subscribers would come forwatd and
pay np. The amount due from each sub
scriber is small, bat in the aggregate it
amounts to considerable to us.

T. J. Blair has been building a new wharf
at his warehouse on the river. This was
reude.ed necessary by the high water lsst
winter having damaged the foundation to
some extent, when Mr. B, with character
istic energy built anew one.
Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
who never to his wife has said, "Yon never

that thoy actually melt iu the mouth."

business men of this 'vicinity, voluntarily
called at our office and renewed his sub
scription to the G Azltt'e without first having

man's soul good to have such subs cribers.
When the Yaquina railroad: is completed,
and that time is only a few months in the
future, onr young men will be able to follow
Horace GreelyV advice, " Go west, young
man, and grow up with the country." The
distance is short, and the transportation
will be cheap.
If our pressm in expects to be a- printer,
he must quit sawing wood for a living and
attend to busiuesj. as we will not have our
time wasted in the sordid erasping after
wealth, and a thorough printer must under
stand that 5ii3 mind should soar above the
vulgar contemplations of hog and rice.
Mr Phiiii.i. Price, Coast Engineer, ac
companied by Lis wife returned from New

break water, is progressing finely.
We take this means to say that Dr. Hoi
man's Liver Pad was the first article of the
kind introduced to the public, and has
proven to be a radical cure for malarial dis
eases and all stomach and liver troubles
without closing. Eevery day new testimo
ny to the correctness of Dr. Holman's ab
sorption theory. Most invalids take too
much physic.
James A. Can thorn is making preparations
for the coming wheat season, and from the
improvement that he has made this summer
one would think that the business was to
him, at least, profitable. He has just com
pleted .the erection of a new dwelling, which
is one of the neatest residences in the city,
and has put a new brick foundation under
the old portion of his warehouse. He now
has one of the most convenient and commo
dious grain warehouses on the upper river.
Rev. Louis A. Banks, editor of the Pacific
Censor of Vancouver, was in town Tuesday.
He has almost entirely recovered from the
effect of the recent shot inflicted by the
hand of a ruffian at Vancouver. He in
forms us that the temperance work in which
he is now so zealously engaged is prospering
well in Washington Territory. We are
glad to hoar this cheering news. Let the
good work go on.

He wanted to take a boat ride, so bor
rowed John Hask ins' boat without leave.
Mr. H. did not like this fro and easy way
of doing thinns, so complained to Justice
Wrenn, who issued a warrant aud placed it
in the hands of Sheriff King, who went to
Portland and brought him back, when tbey
all went liefore Justice W, and talked the
matter over, and settled by Bartlett going
to King's lodging house for a few da vs.
where Mr. H, can have the pleasure of see
in? him through the bars at all reasonable
hours, if he so desired.
Marshal Pygall is cxperieneeing dificulty
with the cow ordinnace. The last arrest
reported uuder this law was a masculine
bovine, and when this objection was raised
by the irate Cwner, Al. informed him that
the ordinance read "And a 1 other horned
cattle," but alas the gentlemam cow was
by nature hornless. This was an unlocked
for dilema, but the prisoner rendered all
of their discussion usfess by butting the
boards off the panel fence and asserting his
own right to roam the streets at large, ut
terly refusing to pay the 2,00 feo usually
necessary to secure freedom under s.uh
circumstances.
NEW STORE.
A. J. Langworthy would announce to the
citizens of Corvallis and the surrounding
country, that he has just opened a general
store at the corner of Main and Jackson
streets, opposite the terry, where he will
keep a general line of dry goods, groceries
and family provisions. Country riroduce
taken in exchange for goods. I propose to
adhere strictly to the" ready pay and one
price system, and hope' by fair dealing and
strict attention to business, to merit a share
of the public patronage. A cordial invita
tion is extended to all.
Respectfully, A. J. Laxc worthy.
Corvallis, July 29, 1881.
Surprise Party. Last Wednesday eve
ning the friends of Miss Carrie Harris gave
that lady a surprise party at the family res
idence, audits far as Miss Carrie was con
cerned it was a perfect surprise. The par
ty wa3 gotten up the same day, but not
withstanding the short time, all the arrang
ment necessary to insure a most pleasurable
evening was made, A large number of per
sons were present, among whom we noticed
tha following persons from a distance, Air.
lSder, Ecuador; Mrs. Koshling and Mr.
Burnhime, Portland; N. Baum, Ala Harris
and Simou Sidenbaugh, Albauy; besides a
large number of our own townspeople. Con
versation, music, dancing and a most excel
lent lunch was the programme, and the wee
small hours admonished the devotees of
pleasure tiiat sleep was an essential to hu
man existence before ihe party disbauded.
Bishop Kavanaugh. Bishop H. H.
Kavanaugh, of the M. E. Church, South,
will preach at the College chappel iu this
city next Sabbath at 1 1 o'clock, a. m. The
Bishop came up on the train from Portland
From the Bay. Our fellow-townsman,
Wm. Grant, returned from Yaquina Bay
this week. He reports the government
works are progressing finely since they have
abandoned the crib system and adopted the
original plan of Engineer Polhemus, which
is to build brush mattresses and sink them
to the bottom of the bay, and then weigh
them down heavily with rock, followed by
another layer of brush and then rock. Here
after the rock to be used is to be landed at
Davis' point, from whence it will be convey
ed on a short railroad track, which is being
laid for the purpose down the beach tn
where the improvements are being made.
This is another improvement which was the
original plan of Mr. Polhemus. There seems
to have been considerable money and time
expended in testing the practicability of
using these cribs, which is virtually wasted.
It is unfortunate that in making this long
needed improvement that Mr. Polhemus
should have to spend any portion of the ap
propriation in testing the practicability of
some other officer's plans, who did not un
derstand the necessities of the work as well
as did Mr. Polhemus, when if he had been
permitted to have followed his original de
signs the work would have been much fur
ther along and ' no money wasted. Mr.
Pihl, the engineer in charge of the survey
ing party on the west end of the Orjgon
Pacific railroad, is progressing finely, al
though at that end of the route there is
some rough countrv which will cans a ili
work to progress slowly for a short dsstauce.
Engineer Brown,' in charge of the surveying
party on this end of the route, expects to
reach the summit this week, which is about
23 miles from Corvallis.
j last evening and will remain in Oregon until
aftjr conference which meets in this city on
the 25th of August. This is the fourth time
Bishop K. has been to this state, and is now
In his 80th year, and it will no doubt be
his last. Reports that precede him from
California, where he has been preaching for
the last month, say that age has by no
means uimimsned nis eloquence wlucn ma
ny of our readers remember as being of the
first order. His reputation as a pulpit ora
tor is national. ' Harper's Weekly in speak
ing of him makes the following forcible ex
pression: "Bishop Kavanavgh is perhaps a
little slow at the commencement, but after
he gets started he is a minister of 'forty
preacher power. ' " We with a very large
number of out citizens, feel thankful that
we will have the pleasure of listening to this
eloquent divine next Sabbath.
Bass Drummer John, the Wader.
Scene, Portland, Sunday, 5. P. m. John,
the big drummer of the German pic-nic
band, came down on the dead run to catch
the Stark street ferry on its last trip before
the excursionists were' to board the train for
Albany. The ferry was 10 or 12 feet from
its landing ; Sohn conld'nt think about
jumping on board with his dram ; he threw
the drum on board, gt ack about 20 feet,
ccme up on the dead run, but the cowardly
legs would'nt go off, so John still remained
on the Portland side. A new thought then
came over him. He ran around to the boat
house; he was quickly after the ferry in a
row-boat. John efldeiitly did'nt have
money to pay transportation. Being a
thoroughbred 11181101317, his native wit came
to his rescue. When about 20 feet from the
landing, he tossed his huge carcass (John is
a six-footer and weighs 200) to and fro; over
went the skiff, on top came the boatman,
aud for the shore started huge John, the
water being up to his chin. Looking over
his shoulder. John shouted : Good day, mis
ter; charge this to the band."
Work at the Bay. The Government
work at Yaquina Bay under the manage
ment of Engineer Polhemus, is now under
headway in earnest. The proposed plan of
sinking cribs on the bar and then filling
them with stone to keep them in place has
been abandoned. We are informed that
this crib system was not the one proposed
by Mr. Mr. Polhemus, as it was his opinion
that the cribs could not be successfully fas
tened, and his first attempt fully verified
his former prediction and the plan suggested
by him, that of constructing a tramway
and building the jetties from the shore out,
has been adopted in detail, and the work
will be continued in this way in future. The
crib that was attempted to be sunk, is now
being used as one of the shore abutments
for the present plan of work. From Mr.
Price, from the head office in Portland, we
learn that the plans; are now fully matured
and will be carried out without delay or.
hindrance. By this plan the work can be
prosecuted in all kinds of weather even
though the bar be ever so rough.
Conjugal Perplexities. He was lean
ing upon the show-case in Grahim, Hamil
ton & Co's drug store; his left hand was
carelessly toying with his 18-karat watch
chain, while the fingers of his right were
tenderly plowing among the roots of his
chestnut hair. He was in a deep study, and
seemed entirely oblivious to everything
around him except the case, which contained
combs. It was our Senior ; and as we look
ed at him a moment we were forcibly im
pressed with the idea that he was profoundly
contemplating the "lights and shades" of
matrimony. We could almost see him im
agine that there is a moment in the life of
every married man, however humble or how
ever exalted, when he feels the humiliation
of his position, and blushes at what is ex
pected of him ; a moment when he feels as
though he would prefer to transact the busi
ness before him through an agent ; a time
when his soul would fain throw off its fet
ters, and he feels it to be a moral impossi
bility for him to go through the task assign
ed to him ; when he feels that he had almost
rather die, if he were satisfied that he were
good enough. That time is when he has to
go into a store and inquire of the gentle
manly clerk if he has got any fine tooth
combs. He looks around carefully to see
that no one is listening, and asks for the
harrowing instrument of torture, but is care
ful to tell the clerk that it i3 dandruff that
i3 the matter. "
Wild Hogs. The woods across the river
from this city are filled with wild hpga, a
greater portion of them having found a ref
uge there during the high water last winter.
Among those that came into this section
during the flood was a large boar about six
or seven years old and as large as a yearling
calf, and has been on the island above the
city for severol year, where he has been sev
eral times shot but could never be killed or
captured. Last winter during the highest
water he was seen by two young men float
ing quietly down stream on a log, they im
mediately went to his rescue in a boat, but
on perceiving them he left his log aud start
ing for the boat commenced to show fight,
and did catch the boat between his jaws and
but for several well directed blows from the
occupants of the boat he would have swamp
ed the same. . His would be deliverers when
they found themselves free from him left
him to his fate, when he took refuge in the
adjoining woods where he has roamed until
last Tuesday he started to swim a lake that
formed a portion of the field fence of Prof.
Emery and Willbank's wnen he was discov
ered by Mr. Wilbauk who secreted himself
on the bank and waited until the animal
was within ten feet of him discharged both
barrels of a heavily charged shot gun into
his head, causing instant death. Prof. Em
ery, from whom we learn the above, says he
would as soon have met a grissly bear as
this monster of the woods whose career has
at last been brought to an end.
Killed bit a Horse. Our Monroe cor
respondent has kindly furnished us with a
private letter to Alex. Lamb o.- that place,
from Heppner, giving the sad news that
James Ferguson, who was born and raised
in Lane county four miles south of Monroe,
aud the son of the early pioneer John B.
Ferguson, and for the last few years a resi
dent near Heppner, while trying to hitch a
span of horses to a hack on the 17th inst.
one of the horses, a large 1300 pounder, be
coming fractious, kicked Mr. Ferguson with
both feet, one foot striking him in the tight
groin, about even with the navel, and the
other stroke was about three or four inches
to the right. The letter above alluded to
was from the attending physician, L. F.
Shipley, M. D , who states that the kick
which struck near the navel was the fatal
stroke. He died on the morning of the 19th,
after suffering very severely, and was morti
fying internally when he died. The de
ceased was well known to the writer ever
uemce boynooa. tie was an nonorabie, to.
dustrious ar d well respected citizen, and a
brother-in-law to our fellow townsman, the
Hon. John Burnett.
Barn Burnt. The barn of Peter Hoover,
in Alseya valley, was burned last week.
There was a threshing machine and a num
ber of other agricultural implements in the
barn, valued at several hundred dollars,
which was a total loss. Mr. H. and wife
were from home at the time of the accident,
and no one was on the premises except some
small children, who were not about the barn
during the day. Ihe cause of the fire is
therefore a mystery. This accident falls
very heavy on Mr. H., amounting as it does
te a large sum of money.

No Temperance Meeting. Inasmuch as
many are aud will be away from "the city,
there will be no temperance meeting until
September. No meeting on next Monday
evening. Com.
New " Racket. " Corvallis damsels can
beat the world devising schemes to larcerate
the feelings of a rival. One of our up town
girls stuffed the sleeve of a gentleman's coat
with straw and placed it around her waist
as she sat in the window wrapped in the
soft twilight Sunday. It looked all right
and natural from a distance, and broke the
neighbor girls all up with envy; but the sat
isfaction she derived from the hug was about
as thin as strained moonshine.
Heroic Effort. We clip the following
to young Arthur Holgate, formerly of this
city, from the Daily Statesman of Wednes
day: " Our account of the drowning of Mr.
Adolph Arinbrustor was received at the
river shortly after the calamity occurred,
and was just about as correct as could be
expected when every one was excited. We
have since learned that the efforts of Mr
Holgate to save his friend were brave and
desperate in the extreme, such as make of
him a hero. Five different times he at
tempted to rescue him, and was as often
drawn under the water. Strangled, ex
hausted and half drowned, he persisted iu
his exertions until it was thought that he
too would perish. Finally whenMr. Brown
got him ashore he was insensible.
Drowned at Salem. On last Saturday
evening, about half past 9 o'clock. Adolphe
Annbruster, accompanied by Messrs. J. M.
Rosenberg, Wm. Brown, Chas. Talbot, Ar
thur Holgate and Henry Meyers, went in
bathing at the bow of the wharfboat in
Salem. With the exception of Mr. Rosen
berg, none of the party could swim. Mr.
Armbruster was playing in the water with
Mr. Holgate, when he accidentally stepped
into the channel of the mill race, getting be
yond his depth. Holgate attempted to res
cue him but without avail, and it was with
difficulty that Holgate himself was saved,
as they had been laughing and making a
noise but a moment before. Mr. Rosenberg,
supposing all right, did not heed their cries
for help until it was too late. Other per
soas were near, but supposed that they were
simply playing. The body was recovered
abont 3 p. m. Sabbath. Mr. Holgate, who
so narrowly escaped with his life, and whose
conduct at the time of the accident was
commendable and courageous, is a son of
Mr. E. Holgate, of this city, and well known
to many of our readers.
Rattle Snake. Mr. John Wyatt, who
resides on his farm two miles west of this
place, called upon us and exhibited the noisy
end of a rattle snake which was killed by
his little girl, 4 years old, and boy, 8 years
old, on his place. The little boy and girl
first discovered it between the house and a
shop near by. The boy ran to get the ax
while the little girl remained to keep watch
over their venomous discovery. While the
boy was gone the snake started to make its
exit, aud crawled under the edge of the
shop, and when he returned the little girl
had followed it under the building, and was
about a foot from it when the boy struck it
with the ax, cutting it in pieces. The only
way that Mr. Wyatt accounts for neither of
the children being bitten was that during all
this time the small terrier dog was also in
pursuit, and kept running up and back and
constantly barking at the reptile, which
probably attracted more of its attention
than did the children. The snake had upon
it seven rattles, and wa3 two feet and eight
inches long. So far as we can learn this is
the first of these unwelcome visitors to this
part of the country. We earnestly congrat
nlate Mr. W. upon the fact of his children's
miraculous escape from being bitten, for in
accordance with an old familiar saying, ' ' It
makes one's hair stand upon end " to think
of what awful consequences might have been
to ni3 little girl.

OAK RIDGE.
Editors Gazette : I presume you would.
like short communications from the country
so here goes. In the first place, I will say
that the sound of the harvester is once more
heard in the field from early morn till dewey
eve. The winter grain is ripening very fast
and is much better than we anticipated
some time ago. And as we now have a
good prospect of a railroad to the bay, and
indications of a better price for wheat, we
once more have smiling faces, f f the Ya-1
quina railroad does not get swallowed up by
V lllard s anaconda, we will bo all right.
We feel thankful that we have a newspaper
like the Gazftte, that stands up for the
railroad and the best interests of this part
f the valley. By the by, Messrs. Editors,
f you improve on the Gazette for the next
year to come the monopoly organs will have
small chance around here. Fearless and in
dependent, long may it wave.
There is a good deal of excitement in this
neighborhood about twine binders. Some

had, and he was dismissed by Bliss, ihe
surgeons have never made search for the
bullet, which was the first thing they should
have done; they have never made the
slightest endeavor to extract the bullet.
