The improvement of the Yaquina bay is a matter, in which all are alike interested. The body of a child, about five years old,' was washed ashore at Yaquina bay last Sabbath. Its mother did not wish to go out on the bay to wash it. The following from the Itemissr: the Pres byterian choir of Corvallis expects to give a concert in Bntler's Hall soon, for the benefit of the new church at Independence. Hon. M L. Piper, and Oiner Waller Of Independence was in Corvallis last Saturday for the purpose of adjusting some unsettled business for Mr. Waller, they favored the Gazette with a call.

We have heard of several men in the last week who have just arrived from California by way of Portland, who say that having heard of the work on the Yaquina railroad in California made inquiry about it in Fort land, but could not find any one who knew that work had commenced or was likely to at any time. The Albany Democrat of the 9;h says: Track laying on the Narrow Gauge from Brownsville to Corvallis began yesterday and will be rushed along rapidly until the road is completed to that point This is something new to us Corvallisites we did not know that such a road to Corvallis was under contemplation. Rev. F. Elliott of the M. E. church, is now in charge of the Corvallis circuit and the usual services will be continued at that church in this city as formerly; we have had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Elliott preach and were very favorably impressed with his sermon and general demeauer.

Last Saturday and all Aty Sabbath the streets of Corvallis were actually crowded with strangers all of Whom seemed to have business of their own to attend to, and alt were quiet and civil, many of them were connected with the railroad, but still there is quite a number of strangers or at least new commars in the city who are here for permenant residence. Hon. D. G. Clark and wife, of Albany, were in the city yesterday. , S. A. Hemphill has made a short visit to the Bay returning Tuesday evening. Wheat is now coming into town by the thousands of bushels every day. Capt. M. S. Mohteith, of Albany,, was in the city Tuesday and favored us with a call.

Star has gone to Siletz to take charge of the Indian school, to which post he has been assigned by the M E Conference. Harvest is over and the farmers are now buisy hauling their wheat to market The yield has been an abundant one and the prospect for good prices still favorable. Wm. Gird of Long Tom was in the city the latter part of last week and following the example of nearly all the people iu Benton county called and' left his order for the Gazette. Our streets are crowded with strangers anil the Hotels all filled to their utmost . capicity, many of these persons are men who have come here with a view of finding a home in this seition. H. C. Lewis says he appreciates a good newspaper, and although be is a democrat of the old style, wants the best paper he can get, so he subscribed for the Gazette. A five cent contribution fund has been started in Salem for the benefit of Sergeant Mason who shot at Guitteau recently. The fund is to be employed in his defense for the crime, A. T.

From James Hayes, who has just return ed from the Bay, we learn- that one day last week the government scow loaded with rock and anchored near the breakwater, dragged her anchor 2nd started to sea, but the anchor getting caught while on the bar, the tug went out and towed her back to her moorings without so much as the loss of her anchor. Geo. Wagner returned this week from a hunting trip near the Alsea. One of his companions killed three elk and George put an end to a large buck elk. After the poor beast was dead George utilized all of its different parts in a manner which exhibited much ingenuity. Our limited space forbids giving full particulars of his wondrous tact George, however, can give lull particulars. Mr, D. H. Woodvvorth, from Ottawa county Kansas, and Mr. Smith, from Iowa together with their fa-nilies arrivjj here last Monday, seeking permanent homes in Oregon.

Thus new 'faces greet us daily and gladly we welcome them. N. P. Briggs and family and Wayman StCIair and family returned from Upper Soda last Wednesday where they had been rusticating for several weeks. They report game and fish abundant. They further report that several persons in that neighbor hood aie killing deer in great numbers simply for the skins, leaving the carcasses for the wolves and other wild animals. This wanton destruction of game should be pun ishable in a severe manner by law. From Rev. Anthony Simpson we learn that about $700 have been subscribed for the Presbyterian church to be erected in this city, (Independence) aside from the lot on which it will be built. Of this sum W. S. Ladd, Esq., of Portland, contributes 9100. The Board of Church Erection will appropriate no doubt enough more to make the sum about $1,200. The work, it is ex pected, will be commenced this month and, if possible, the buildiug will be completed by the first of January. We are glad to note tins improvement on the moral side of our progressive city. ltemizer. All of our subscribers will bear in mind that subscriptions to the Gazette are pay able in advance. And We hope no one will ask us to deviate from this rule. Since Mr. Carter's death the subscription books have been sadly neglected thus permitting some subscribers to become delinquent. We hope therefore that onr patrons will call and pay up and save US the unpleasant trouble of notifying them to do so. All persons who have engaged to pay in wood, will please to bring us a full coid and if desired we -will pay them in cash the difference in the value of the wood and the pries of the paper for the year. hI FoTtrBK Pfrosintcrs of Bknton County. At no time in the past nas the future of Benton county presented brighter prospects than the present, for years many of our people have known that on our coast was a harbor which with a little aid from the Government would become the outlet to the sea for the whole of the Willamette Valley and Eastern Oregon. Congress has at last recognized the importance of this Bay and an appropriation has been made which we trust and believe is only a fore runner of other appropriations far more generous, the present appropriation will soon be expended and fnlicn good will be accomplished thereby, and if the present efforts of the people of this county to raise sufficient money to keep the work going on until the next congressional aid can be uti lized, only a few months will elapse before the Yaquina Bay will be one of the best har bors on the Pacific coast. The Oregon Pacific is finishing the work on its railroad from the Bay to Eastern Oregon, as fast as men and money can construct Railroads through that class of .country and in but a few months more the mountains and valleys of Benton county will echo back the sound of the locomotive from Corvallis to the Ya quina bay, and fSuch of the graiu of the present harvest will find an outlet to deep water without paying tribute to Portland and Astoria. Surely Benton county and the whole Willamette valley has. cause for feeling thaukful for the important improve ments now going on, and whose early com pletion will be felt not only by added con venience to business and an increase of popu lation but its weiget will be felt in the pocket of every farmer in Oregon in the shape of solid coin the result of an increased price of produce. Sabbath is Cohvallis. One thing that always strikes a stranger in our town is the quiet and perfect absence of drunkeness and rowdyism on onr Streets on the Sab bath day also that all stores and other pla ces of business are closed and the whole air of the town has at least an outward apper ance of respect for the religeous feeling of the community and for the laws of the coun try on that subject: in this respect Corvallis differs widely from most of the other 'cities of Oregon aud we feel assured that the ma jority of our citizens will join -us in self congratulation on this subject. This whol some state of iiiorals is owing partly to the fact that our business men recognize that Sabbath is a day of rest by common consent spend their time at home with their families, and partly to tbe fact that the city, council, fully appreciating that such a. law would be in the interest of the peace and quiet of the city, several years since passed a strict Sunday Ordinance which notwith. standing the various changes in that body, is still unrepealed, and which we trust will remain unaltered for all lime to come. Mrs. Kerr, the widow of ex-Speaker M. C. Kerr, now lives iu Louisville, Ky. She was a close friend of Mrs. Garfield, and re members that Gen. Garfield was supersti tious in regard to the length of his life. Mrs. P. R. Baldwin, of this place was a member of bis congregation in the little town of Solon, Cuyahoga county Ohio, and heard him preach his farewell sermon at the breaking out of the war, he then stated that although prompted to enlist as a chris tian c'uty to his country, be had a strong presentiment that he should never live to re turn. May the fears So generallyjfelt in the present crisis prove as groundless as his own have thus far proved. Public Examination. Teachers, and all interested, are hereby notified that a public examination will be held at the College, in this city, on Saturday, Sept. 24, commencing at 9 o'clock a. m. E. B. MeElkot, Sup't of Schools. Corvallis, Sept. 14, tt&L 2w38 Mr. Eugene Williams, of Newport, was united in marriage to Miss O'Donold, of Portland, last Tuesday at Newport The happy couple passed through this city yes terday, ea route fcr Portlvid, where tbey spend their honeymoon. Gone to his Rkst. Yesterday we receiv ed the sad intelligence that Richard C. Clark, formerly a resident o'f this county, had died at his residence iu McMinnville. We have heard no further particulars except that he had been sick a short time with fever. Mr. Clark was a native of Missouri, and about 50 years old. His wife, who survives him, is a daughter of Wm. G. Porter of this county. He had been with the exception of a few years a resident of Benton county for nearly or quite 20 years, and was well and favorably known in this city and the south part of the county, where he had re sided. About ten months since he moyed to McMiiinville where he has since resided. A good man, an honored citizen, a true friend, an affectionate husband and kind father has been called hence, and we can not believe but to a more perfect life. May his rest be peaceful and his awakening glorious. Arrested. An old wretch by the name of Lowery was arrested in this city this week by deputy Marshal Miller for giving whisky to Indians. This is the fifth time he has been arrested for the same offense and taken before Judge Dtady, and every time before he has been convicted, and the evidence this time is conclusive. Such deg radation is seldom reached by man, and the only cheering feature that we can see in the matter is that the old reprobate has about outlived God's statute of limitation and will soon sink into a disgraced and nameless grave. He was taken to Portland yesterday by Harry McCormack, Dep'tU. S. Marshal who came up after him the day before. OREGON PACIFIC R B, NOTES, Nearly every train on the -West side brings a car load of chinamen to work on the Oregon Pacific.
