The Corvallis Gazette is one of the best advertising mediums in Oregon, because it goes to a large paying list of subscribers who are able to buy and pay for any article they see advertised if they want it.

All hair-pins look alike to men but let a wife go oif on a visit for a month, and come home and find a ha ir-pin near the door, an I she can't wait a minute to grow red in the face. Walace Baldwin returned from his trip for health on Wednesday. He came around by Coos bay striking the railroad at Draiues where he boarded the north bound tram tor hone. The good people of Newport will under stand that Rev. A. Simpson's failure to fill his preachiet appointment was occasioned by the meloncholy events recorded in anoth er column of this paper. Mr. Armstrong arrived recently from England. He has traveled quite extensive ly and now comes to take a general survey of Oregon, with the view of making it hia home if suited to his taste. The person who permitted that lot of three cent postage stamps to stick to their dingers had best deposit them where they were taken frcra. Serious trouble may grow oat of the matter unless they are found in the proper place soon. Mr. T. J. Blair last Tuesday broke a pully on a line shaft of the cleaning appara tus for his warehouse which stoped cleaning grain temporarily. Mr. Wm. Pitsnau went to Portland yesterday to get the necessary repairs. Tlse broken part will be in run ning rder soon. State School Superintendent E. B. McEl rey, on last Friday went to Monmouth by way of Independence and returned on the same day. He is carefully contemplating the qaestion of moving to Salem as he is compelled to keep his nHSce there it is in convenient to live so far away. J. H. Aldrich, of the Summit, was in town on Wednesday. Mr. A. reports work on the tunnels at that place as progressing steadily. One day last week a blast con taining seven kegs of powder was fired off at tunnel No. 2, which shook the denizens of that vicinity up considerable. Very often farmers imagine that their crop is going to yield iaintensely, and as the grain is being harvested and stacked calcu late on so many bushels and in many in stances are lamentably surprised. We heard one farmer say the other day that he thought sure he would have 3000 bushels of wheat, but when threshed he enly had 1200. A heavy crop of straw is no more the sign of a good yield of wheat than a paper collar is the sign of a shirt. Oats.

The contract to be made with his parentis Fire In the Mountains. Fire is now burning among the timber in the Cascade Monntains east of Eutrene, says the Journal. Last Sunday the house of Mr. Bowerman, on the north side of the MoKenzie River, 12 or 14 miles east of here was burned. His barn and buildings and about everything on his place were destroy ed at the same time by the fire. On Tues day Mr. B. F. Finn's barn on the south side of the McKenzie about 30 miles east of this place, was burned. We learn that fire is burning in Camas Swale on this side of the Coast Fork, a few miles nearly south of Spencer's Butte. It destroyed the house of Tom Bell near the head of the Swale in the edge ol the mountaius last Wednesday Mr. Bell went into the house to try to get his money, about $175 in gold and silver, but failed to reach it, and was severely al though not dangerously burned in making the effort. The money was melted and the gold and silver mixed together in fragments. Na other damage has been reported in that neighborhood. The tire was still burning to some extent at last accounts. Poisoned Cigarettes. A very prominent San Francisco phy sician writes: "Leprosy is revealing itself about the lips and tongujs of the boys who smoke cigarettes made by the Chinese. The disease though fatal, is slow in giving tokeus of its first approaches. He goes on to state further that no less than 100 cases of infection of the loathsome disease by ciga rette smoking had come under his own no tice. This new horror thus developed should prove a sufficient warning to parents and youths, especially on the Pacific Coast where about all the cigarettes are manu factured by the Chinese. It in a disgust- ng habit at best, and when coupled with this new danger tiere is reason for the most vigorous efiorts to suppress the vice into which the boys of this State are being dragged every Hay by evil companions. Boys say, "I don't smoke Chinese-made cigarettes. It is an easy thing for manu facturers and dealers to bay their goods are made by white men. It is another thing to show beyond a shadow of a doubt that each particular cigarette is what is claimed for it. a The Femals with tne Fire-arm. A complaint was lodged iu Recorder's court last week and a warrant issued there on against an individual of the iomal per suasion, who is said to live in town . The complaint charged that the accused had purpose'y assaulted the dwjllinj house of the complainant with a dangerous weapon, loaded with powder and ball and with the said flre-arm, into the said house, within the city Innits, the said feminine did shoot. Our gallant Marshall with warrant in hand and bent on doing bis duty, with head erect sought the whereabouts of the tender and greatly abused female, and with her appear ing before oar courteous and obliging Re corder, who immediately in agitated and bashful tones proceeded to read to the ac cused the complaint. Whereupon she de clared that she was handling the unfortun ate weapon when it was accidently dis charged in her hand, culminating in the serious effect to comiuamant s habi tation. Under circumstances of this kind the gallant Recorder discharged the poor down-trodden feminine, whereupon she turned to her accuser and accosted him with the tender and affectionate title of "Willie Darling" and at the same time referred to some of those tender reminesencies of a re cent by gone day which caused the latter to blush with seeming agitation and bewilderment. A Bank to be Started. Hon. T. G. Hendricks, Hon. S. B. Eakin Jr., and Prof. Johnson, President of the State University, are making arrangement to establish a bank in Eugene City. We are informed that they intend to erect a suitable brick building on Willamette street, with fire-proof vaults, sates and everything necessary for the safe keeping of money and for the transaction of a banking business, and will start iu with a determination to make it a permanent institution. Journal Pnset Sound. Chas. E. Miller of this place is sojourning on the S. und for the health and pleasure of himself and new wife. They arrived at New Tacoma a Week ago last Sunday. Mr. Miller give3 a glowing account of the pres ent appearance and future prospect of the town. There is about two hundred new buildings going np among which are prob ably 25 new store buildings, four new churches and a new court house. More than as much again more building would have been done this summer but for the fact that lumber could not be had. The lo cation of the town is on a hillside and quite rough. The main street is about a mile long, and the town has about 2000 inhabit ants. They have no Are company except a Hook St Ladder Co. The Circus. The circus which appeared here last Tues day night under the supervision of Mr. Sherman, was well attended. There must have been at least fifteen hundred specta tors present, and the show from first to last must have taken in that many dollars. The horses in the way of performing tricks were very well trained indeed. The tumbling and performance on the bars were very well done. The clowns at the least calculation in drawing it mild, were about tenth rate. What riding was done was performed very well, but there was not enough of it in quantity or in variety to please the small boy and sometimes the larger ones who trust to luck for their next days rations and spend their last dollar to go to the cir cus in order to see what they call "circus riding." The performance was certainly a financial success for its managers. Indeuendence. A trip to Independence last Friday most surprisingly brought to our notice the rapid ity with which that town is improving. Not long ago several new bricks have beeD finished and there are now under process of construction four more new brick buildings to be occupied by stores. The town indi cates a general appearance of thrift and ac tivity. It is bound te continue to be a good town for trade as it has the advan tages of both railroad and river transportation. Insane. William Ballard of this county, about 27 years of age, was brought into town by bis brother last Wednesday evening, and on yesterday he was taken before the county judge, J..R. Bryson, and examined as to his sanity and declared insane, with the ex pectation of starting with him to the asylum this morning. He exhibited symp toms of insanity about a month ago, since which time having varried to some extent some times appearing much worse than at others. He is of a family wherein there are several young men. He has always ap pcared to be quiet and peaceable and ap parently one among the best of the family. Piano, Organ and Sewing machine Given Away.

Tai3p3rt oi an an5-p7 Hsld "Jooa the uoay of Miss Anuls Cameron, Aged 32, Died in Oorvallia, Or., Sopt 3, 1832. This case presented a chain of symptoms that caused us to believe it to be a cancer of the liver and kidneys. Quite an enlarge ment showed itself iu her right side ex tending from the lower line of the ribs to the top of the iliac bone (hip or rump bone) with the subject wonderfully emaciated . After death this enlargement showed a man ifest increase in size, becoming very hard. By making a free incision irom the pit if the stomach down, then two trans'rrrse in cisions, one from the pit of the stomach fol lowing the line of ribs over the region of the iiver, and the other from a point on the lower part of the bowels to the top ef the ilium, and turning that part of the abdom inal wall back, there was presented imme diately to our view the object of so much conjecture. It was a large Carcinomatous Tumor (Cancerous) together with a very small alirophied liver. This tumor adhered closely to all tho adjacent part, from about mid-way in the iliac bone up to the lower line of the ribs, completely consuming or engaging the right kidney with a large duct passing up into the very core of the liver. This tumor was filled with about a half- gallon of creamy matter frequently turmed cancer-juice. Being satisfied that this can cerous growth was the cauce of death we closed the body. But at the request of a brother of the deceased we proceeded to ex - amine the lungs. Immediately the chest was laid open and there we fou nd both lungs entirely whole; in a much better con dition than expected by anyone, free from any uloers or tubercular dacay. G. E. Alexander, M.

On last Monday morning the horse hitched to Nick Beasen's delivery wagon was beinglriven along and the cross bar between the chafts having been partly broken before gave way" entirely letting it come on to the horses heels, which he did not appreciate and therefore started at a more rapid pace than seemed desirable. He ran down the street for some distance the Iriver at the same time endeavoring to hold him but without mnch effect. He was finally stoped in front of Mr. Hodes gun shop and unhitched for repairs. Cn the Way to School. Samuel Case came out from Newport last Saturday and left last Monday morning for Portland. His daughter Nellie and also Nellie VanCleve accompanied him. He was taking them to St. Helens school where they are going to attend during the coming year. Great Destruction of Game. John Lewis, Geo. Kennedy and S. L. Henderson with their families returned fiom a pleasure excursion near Elk City. Fish and deer seemed to be the general ob ject of their attentions, yet the supply of either was not lessened in anything like a perceptible degree by their advent. Geo. Kennedy declares salalberne's may be an agreeable diet for breakfast, but a protract ed administration of them is not conducive to health according to his ideas of physics. (A Bevere Accident. Mr.'G. W. Lee, of Polk county, on last Saturday was on his way with a team and loaded wagon to this place accompanied by his wife and brother-in-law Perry Lang worthy. When about eight miles below here several dogs ran out from a house as he passed by and attempted to jump on the wagon and also to catch the horses which became frightened and started off quite briskly to run away. During the run Mrs. Lee was thrown off from the wagon. One of the wheels ran over her arm and foot breaking the arm and mashing the foot quite severely. There are entirely too many dogs in this country for safety. Whenever a dog runs out upon the public highway to interrupt travel he should be treated to a dose of powder and shot as an introduction. Mrs. Lee is a daughter of A J. Laugworthy of this place. They were at the time of the accident mooving to our town. Mr. Lee intending to assist Mr. Langwertby k the store, TERRIBLE DEATH. An Accident Which CauseSithe Death of Mr. B F. Smith. On Sunday last, Aug. 27, 1882, a large portion of the people of our county were put in mourning by the news of an accident which caused the death of Mr. B. P. Smith who lived about twelve miles south of Rose burg, says the Plaindtaler. Sunday morning Mr. Smith, accompanied by his wife and Miss Bland had started on a visit to the TunnelL They met the construction train at the rock point about one-half mile- north of Oak Grove station. At this place the wagon road runs parallel with the ti. R, and about twelve feet above it for some distance before reach ing thp crossing and is only wide enough for a wagon to pass. Mr. Smiths team having reached this stretch in taeafroad, it was im possible for him to turn back or go on and his only alternative was to keep the team quiet until the train passed. This he was not able to do and when it became evident that the team was going over, the ladies jumped out aud begged Mr. Smith to do so likewise. He still hoping that he could keep them on the road, remained in the wagon too long, and went over the em bankment with it. He fell out upon the track stunned, and immediately one of his large horses fell upon him and almost com pletely crushed every bone in bis body. The horse rolled off, and the train stopped within a few feet of where he lay and Mrs. Smith and parties from the train crowded to his assistance, but no assistance could be rendered, and with a couple of words he breathed his last in fact it is believed he never drew a single breath after the accident. Sorrowful Trip. On last Thursday morning Mr. John Simpson and wife accompanied by Mrs. Nettie E wart, started with their little sick babe to the Yaquina, hoping that a change of air might accomplish some good for their little one. They arrived at Elk City about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and proceeded immediately about 9 miles down the river to the residence of Dr. Rich who with Mrs. Rich received them with the utmost kind ness. They remained at the doctors house all night. Rev. A . Simpson, who left here on Friday to fill ai appointment to preach at Newport, met them there on Satu rday morning early hoping to find the child im proved but the infant spirit passed "within the vail" and was at rest. About 11 o'clock Bensell's steam Launch on her way to Elk City took the party aboard. On their ar rival at Elk they started immediately for Corvallis and arrived home about half past eight Sunday morning. They speak in the very highest terms of the kindness of the people of Elk City, and express with deep ly grateful feelings their appreciation of the great and sympathetic kindness of Dr. and Mrs. Rich on the Yaquina who did all that was possible to be dene, in the most gen erous manner and also of Mr. and Mrs. Crane at Summit, where the party stayed for a few hours rest on their way back to Corvallis. The kindness of Capt. Desosway and the engineer of the steam launch "Mary Hall" is also very much appreciated and vi ill not soon be forgotten. Rev. A. Simp son desires us for himself as well as on be half of MJohn Simpson and wile to thus publicly express their thanks for the great kindness of all these good people. Arrival. A dispatch at 1 1 A. M. yesterday from Yaquina announces the arrival ot the Sea Foam which wastben off the bar. Important News.
