P. R. R. from Yaquina, brought the following startling news: Yaquina, Aug. 17, 1882. On Wednesday morning Dr. B. F. Hutch inson, aged 75, and an adopted son named Nelvin McKee, aged about 14. were discov ered at their place on Coffrey Slough, obout one mile southwest of Oneatta, murdered. They had both beeu shot in the back of the head, probably at close range, as the top of their heads were literally blown off. A shot gun or musket did the work. Deceased had sold some cattle on Monday and had received a considerable some of money in coin which could not be found. Supposition points to a certain person who has disappeared and the search for him so far has proved unavailing. W- P. Stout, J. P., of Newport, held an inquest. The jury returned a verdiet "that Hutchinson and McKee were killed by gun shot wounds by unknown parties." The people of the whole region are greatly excited and if the party, or parties, guilty of the murder can be caught, it will go hard with the cold blooded wretches. Mr. Thos. E. farker was the first to discover the murdered ones. Run Away. List Saturday Mr. W. A. Wells returned in the morning from the Brownsville ware house and arriving at the postoffice here he found a letter which required an answer to Souver station. The cars being about ready to start he turned his horse and buggy about and started for the depot under whip. When a short distance this side of the de pot one of the shafts of his buggy came down and scared the horse. The horse started running and kicking at a hasty (rait. He soon threw Mr. W ells out of the b'iggy bruising his head quite severely. Mr. Wells picked himself up after rather ing himself all together, and proceeded to the depot to transmit his instructions down the road. The horse, however, retraced his steps and came tearing down street at break-neck speed. Wnen he came to the corner at Mrs. Hemphill's restaurant he took the sidewalk going nor.h running on the sidewalk all the way until he came to sheriff King's livery stable where he at tempted to go into the 'table, but the turn was so short that it caused him to end all heels up in the air, where he was compelled to remain until the buggy was taken loose from him. All occupants of the sidewalk gave way to him without a second invita tion. The buggy was considerably de moralized and the horse badly bruised all thin '3 considered it might have been worse. look fr success. Many farms in this sec tion, of which I would like to speak. Thence we go to Mr. John Record's a few !1 it ... nines rarensr on, ana stul we see energy and judgement displayed. I would like to linger here awhile, and look at "truits and flowers." Now we alight at Mr. Herran's and Mr. Martin's, about 15 miles from Cor vallis. These two gent'emen from the ' Emerald Isle" are making this wilderness to blossom as the rose, and are not likely to return to the land where the shamrach wields imperial sway. The yield of wheat is good all along the line where we have been. And as evidence of this, when at Mr. HughFinley' s, we discovered his ware house lacks capacity to hold the grain. Hence he will build "greater barns" with out pulling down the "old ones," to accom modate his many customers. This is a fine section of the Willamette we have nassed over. The people are well to do, and I will say in clossing, we had a plentiful supply of that fowl, peculiarly adapted to our ap petite and profession. More next time. B.

It was currently reported last week by his neighbors who claimed to know all about the circumstances that Mr. Parent across the river had deserted his wife leaving about midnight. There must have been some mistake about the report as we saw him on the street last Saturday with a lot of things which he had purchased and was on bis way across the river towards home. Child Drowsed. A report reaches us that the young 3 or 4 year old child of Abe -Rizeor was drowned last week, in the lower Alsea valley. We did not gain much of the particulars excepting that all except the child were ab sent from the premises and the river lan near the house and when the remainder of the family returned the boat in the river was turned up side down and the child was missing. A Boy. We will pay a boy the cash twice each week who will come promptly at the ap pointed time and roll for printing the Ga zette. Or we will pay a good active prompt and industrious boy the cash every Saturday night for his.services who desires to enter our office to learn the printing busi ness and continue until he learns- the trade. The contract to be made with his patents. Broken Arm. A report reaches us just before going to press, that Henry Elliott had again met with an unfortunate accident. The arm which he had broken a few weeks ago was getting well and the splints had been taken off, bnt it had not become stout. Duriusr night before last he fell down stairs, break ing the arm over again. Any further par ticulars we did not hear. It seems that his misfortunes come thick and fast. The above distribution was made August 16, 1882. The County Treasurer received the above amount from S.tlem August 12th. E. A. Milner, Supt., of Schools. An Interesting Account. MR. I'.ditoe. l nave not the time, nor have you the space, to allow an itemized report of another very enjoyable trip of mine. Last Monday, through the kind ness of Mr. Johnson, my friend Mr, and self, took passage for Long Tom, both of us having through ' tickets free. I want to say of ttts stream, that I have heard of Tom Walker of Nicaraugua, and of Tom Marshal of Kentucky and some others, but this Tom is the Longest Tom I ever heard of, or saw. However it is bordered on either side with the most beautiful and fertile farms I have seen for some time. The far-stretching landscapes, one after another, all covered with golden grain, presents at once a scene unsurpassed for beauty and profit, and how harmoniously these two equalities blend. And alon? the stream with its green embroidery, ever and n, you find the frugal granger strictly attending to his own business. A quality much to be desired. Along the road en route we pass in succession the farms of Hon Greenberry Smith. Threshing is under fall headway, and we see "rick" after "rick" of sacks of Oregon's valuable commodity. Now we reach the farm house of Rob't Buckanan Esq.. where we pause few a day or two. His well arranged and productive farm shews two essential elements in suc cessful agriculture, still and labor. , What has been learned in the science of agricul ture in college, is being practically applied by his sons. Unite muscle and brain, then Moved for Health. Mr. Cyrus Powers started with his family last Tuesday to his place about six miles from the Dalles, where he intends to remain in hopes of regaining his health. Mr. Powers has long been one of our'most active fireman and the companies will iniss him very much. Broken Leg. On last Thursday at Monroe one of Mr. Wm. Gai line-house's laree stallions met ith a severe and perhaps fatal accident in which one of his fore legs was broken near the body. He telegraphed to Portland for a horse farier to come and attend to him. Business Education. We can furnish at this office, to any per son desiring a thorough business education, a certificate for a scholarship in the Colum bia business college of Portland, Oregon, which will entitle the purchaser to a thor ough course of instruction at this school.

The Dr. while walking on the side walk stumped his toe, fell and fractured two of his ribs. If the Dr. was not a strict tem perance man people would say that he had been to Hodges. Mr. J.E. Heukle will soon commence the foundation of his new residence in the east part of town. The building when finished will cost about fifteen hundred dollars and much to the beauty and appearance of our town. A nice baby chair passed through town the other day for Mr. Holmes Blair at the bay. This looks a little significent. Mr. E. iiartless' health is still in a criti cal condition. From the present indication both the college and the public school will be crowd ed with pupils the coming winter. A great many families are coming here to school their children. Philomath can boast of her pretty women, big babies and grand scenery. Prof. Walker and family have just re turned from a sojourn at the sea side much improved in health. Correspondent.

Figuring on the salmon pack of '83, by men who have access to accurate figures results in the conclusion that there were 521,000 cases of salmon packed on the Co lumbia during the season just closed. This may be considered as accurate. Last year the pack was 555,983; this year the average valae per case may be set down at 5.25? though it will not be over $5 to the can- nerymen; at the former .figure the season's pack will represent a value of $2,735,000.
