While Mr. Williams who lives west of Monroe, on last Monday evening was coming to Corvallis, he accidently stepped over a bank and fell so heavily that some of the bones of his foot were dislocated. With the assistance of his crutches, he can wa'k. Why Will people continue to use blank envelopes, letter heads and bill heads, when they can get printed heads and envelopes at the Gazette office in the most approved style at only a little more than the cost of paper and a great deal less than they buy them by retail. .The program of the State teachers Asso ciation to be held in Legislature Hall at Salem, Oregon, commencing Monday eve ning August 21st, and ending August 23, 18S2, is on our table.

Wilson Bump of King's Valley, informs us that his threshing company started re cently with a Pitts thresher 32 inch cyl inder. That they had run three days and threshed three thousand bushels. One day at Isaac Zumwaltz near Lawisvifle the machine threshed 1200 bushels. This seems to be pretty good for a beginning. A young gentleman from the surround ing country while in town recently coming down street bis foot struck a vessel of paint setting on the sidewalk and knocked it over. The recorder told him it would cost about thirteen dollars which he paid thus becoming a wise? man. We did not learn how the man got pay for his paint or who sent him around to kick it over.

A CLOSE CALL. Two Families In Water Twenty Feet Deep. Last Thursday while Messrs. A. Pygall and Mr. Hyte accompanied with their families, undertook to cross Siletz river at a spot where an Indian directed them, although they had misgivings relative to the undertaking, yet they started across. The water, which was swift, became deeper and deeper till all at once they went over a "jump off" twenty feet deep. The wagon became uncoupled and Mr. Hyte took the two horses ashore. The bed of the wagon arose with some of the children and floated at a point within two feet of the top. The ladies were holding to the bed, and Mr. Pygall was swimming and helping the children by pushing them forward when ever they came up, till all got out on dry land once more. Mr. Swann afforded all the accommodations possible as soon as he came to the spot. Four indians for the sum of one dollar apiece dove into the water and secured wagon, spoons, etc. The Indians say it is impossible to cross at that place at any season of the year. When the first came to hand he began to explain that he meant they could cross at that place with a ferry boat which was on the other side of the river. Both families ar rived safe and weM in Corvallis last Sunday. Fire at Albany. Last Friday afternoon telegraphic infor mation was received here that an extensive tire was raging in Albany. It appears that the fire caught in an empty wooden build ing which had at one time been occupied as a China house. This building was situ ated just across the street and down the river from the St. Charles hotel, and at the rear of another empty building frontiug south on to the street. The fire extended to the empty building alluded to which had once been used as a saloon, consuming it entirely; along-side of this building one door farther down stream stood another wooden building occupied as a furniture store which was also consumed. Messrs. Tompkins and McFarland's tin store along-side of the latter building the tin roof of which was un sodered and damaged very much. The fire extended across the street to the St. Charles hotel burning the roof off from that build ing. The fire companies of Albany ex tinguished the tire from the St. Charles hotel after the roof was entirely burned off. Mrs. Houk who occupied the hotel removed the furniture therefrom resulting in much breakage and damage to it. Send us News Items. Our readers can greatly assist us in gath ering news items by sending us any newf that they may have in mind at any time. Should a death occur in your neighborhood you arc under obligations to the public, in general, to let the people know it. The main object of the performance of the nuptials is to give' publicity to the marriage, and this is all right; yet there are ministers who perform these sacred rites, receive their five dollars, and never send an item of the matter to the county newspaper. Now we want to know if this is right. Educational matters are of intense interest to the public. On account of the silence some neighborhoods exhibit, readers would readily conclude that nothing of a religious, political, mechanical, professional, agricul tural, accidental or criminal nature ever occurred in their midst. Send us news in a brief style, and it will appear as neatly in our columns as our facilities will allow. Runaway Xeam. Quite a severe accident happened last Sunday. While Mr. Wallace Baldwin and wife were riding in a two-horse buggy with a team which had hitherto always been quite gentle, on their way to visit friends at Philomath, one of the horses be came restless and uneasy growing worse all the time until she finally started to run. She ran some distance, and while crossing a small bridge the buggy ran off tipping it over and hurling both occupants headlong to the ground. Mrs. Baldwin was severely bruised in the face so badly that one side of her face has swolen so badly that her eye is almost closed. She received some other injuries. Mr. Baldwin was quite severely jamed on the arm, hand and side. His side is perhaps injured the worst. It is sup posed that the fractious horse had a severe attack of the colic and was trying to get away from it. A Fire Brand. A rather curious circumstance came to our ear this week. Mr. John Blanford who stops at Mrs. Stilsons residence in the south part of town, informed us that one morning of last week. Mrs. Stilson discovered under the sidewalk in front of her house a large piece of burned oak wood several inches both iu length and thickness. It was al most burnt to a coal and when found was yet warm. One would suppose that dur ing the night some scoundrel had been on his way to some place to commit destruction and fearing that he was watched or pursued put the fire brand under the sidewalk to hide it. It is possible that the same .party got down as far as Albany about the time of the recent fire there. New Carriage. The new carriage of which we made men tion of the top being put on last week by Mr. Hemphill of this place, is a Corvallis production all through. The wood work was nicely and neatly made by Mr. L. L. Horning of this place. K was ironed in a durable manner and in accordance with the latest designs by Messrs. Hutton and Hilliard, blacksmiths of this place. The finishing touches were put on by Hon. F M. Wadsworth fine wagon and carriage painter. It is an elegant piece of work and a credit to the town. Returned. Cyrus Powers, who went East of the mountains last spring in hopes of benefiting his health, returned last Friday looking somewhat improved although quite a severe cough lingers with him yet . He has pur chased a tract of land about six miles, from the Dalles, Wasco county, and intends to remove there with his family in a few days to make that locality hie future home. VAM0USED, A Husband Crawls out of Bed and Deserts the Premises. Not quite one year ago a man by the name of John Parent, was married to a Mrs. Hannon who lives just across the river from Corvallis. Parent was not well known in the country, but for a while apparently acted the part of a citizen quite well. However he exhibited a natural antipathy to work. The family lived together moder ately agreeable till Sunday night July 30th. All that is known is about as follows: Mrs. Parent is a very sound sleeper. Her hus band got up some time in the night evident ly dressed only in his night clothes; he took what clothing of his he could find and like ly went out of the back door, as a jar of some kind in that direction partially awak ened her. Though she knew nothing of what had occurred till morning revealed the story. It was then that fresh boot tracks were found leading iu the direction of Albany. On tracking them some distance the tracks of three other parties were seen to come together. These facts with others very strongly intimate the idea that it was a premeditated plan that he should so leave, and others should accompany him. Why one should act so in this land of justice and liberty, is a mystery. We do not intend to participate in family troubles; but we say there is a proper way to adjust all unpleas antness, and when a man leaves under the darkness of night, a greater darkness must shadow his character. A Chinaman Jugged. For the past year there has been working for the Warren Bros. , near the Summit, a Chinaman whose duty it was to do the gen eral house work, while the .boys tilled the ground and played the part of the "sturdy farmer." Things went along very well until last Tuesday when the almond-eyed indi vidual got his "back up" about something and concluded to come to own. The War ren boys didn't particularly object, but knowing that he had rather a "taking" way about him they thought best to have him searched. A warrant was issued for that purpose and placed in the hands of Consta ble bmith. who, after some investigation, found quite a number of articles in his dos session belonging to the boys. He was then arrested for petit larceny and brought before Justice Aldrich, after which a jury was empanneled and the Chinaman tried. The prisoner was found guilty and sen tenced to a term in the county jail. Con stable Smith, accompanied by Mr. Claude Warren, brought the heathen to Corvallis last Wednesday and delivered him over to Sheriff King, who showed him a suite of rooms in the "calaboose" and is now a guest of Benton county. Received Orders. Mr. Albert J. Ray of our town received recently a photograph of Mr. Elvin Glass, formerly of our town, who last summer was appointed to the United States Signal Service. His photo., looks natural. He was one of twelve out of fifty who passed a first-class examination and was the first of his class to receive orders. He was ap pointed to go to Cincinnatti Ohio. Card of ThanXB. We desire to return our sincere thanks tfi the friends who were so kind to us dur ing the illness of our little Hans, and so tenderiy assisted in caring for the little one so near and dear to our hearts. Especially those that were with us to the last 'sad moments of his life; also those in the vicin ity of the cemetry who so kindly assisted in placing the remains in their last resting place.

A telegram over the line of ' the Oregon Pacific Railroad announced that the ill-fated steamer Benton had been repaired and made her trial trip from Newport to Elk City on last Saturday carrying the United States mail. Ii seems that the reports of damages that had occurred to her when she was launched a second time was much exage rated. It is fortunate that the news was bad and not the steamer. Thumb Cut. A severe accident occurred last Tuesday to Mrs. Huffman. She was in Albany visit ing her sister and was holding a chicken while another party performed the act of cutting its head off. In making the stroke the hatchet or ax glanced and struck Mrs. Huffman on the thumb cutting the leader and making a very severe and painful wound. National Bank at Salem.
