Last Wednesday was the tenth anniver sary of the wedding of Mr. F. H. Sawtell and his estimable wife, and iu the evening they were visited by a ho3t of friends, who came unexpected and unannounced but well laden with presents suitable for the occasion. Among the many presents received by Mrs. Sawtell was a. sparkling set of diamonds and a fine set of jewelry. Mr. Sawtell besides a lot of minor articles, received a massave watch and chain, and a large tin horn; the latter will probably be stowed in the achives unused, as Fred s well known modesty will not allow him to "blow his own horn." The evening was spent with pleasant parlor games and social converse, and all present enjoyed the event very much. Suicide at the Asylum. Of the sudden death ot that unfortunate one with whom many readers of the Gazette were well acquainted the Daily Standard of the 6th says: S. H. Thompson, who lias been an inmate of the insane asylu n at East Portland for several years suiciJed last Saturday. He had been persistant, during his confinement in the asylum, in a determination to take his own life, and had made repeated attempts in this direction. So frequent, indeed, had been these attempts, that the attendants had received strict orders to watch him carefully an I it had been customary to give him his meals in a room by himself, in which there was nothing with which he could do him self injury. As a further precaution the window of his room was covered with a wire screen, which was fastened at the mid -die, about four feet from the floor, with a small padlock. While in this room Safcur- lay afternoon Mr. Thompson took his pock et handkerchief and tying in around his neck, hung it on the pallook and then, by bending his knee3, with his feet resting on the floor, strangled himself to tieath. The body was sent to Cosvallis last Monday to his wife who iive3 there, and wa3 interred in the Masonic ce netery The Oro-iia's Home. Mr3. Jos. Holman, Secretary of the Or phan's Home at Salem, ha3 submitted her report for the year ending Dec, 31, from which we extract the following: For the pa t sixteen yers a home for orphans and friendless children for the State of Oregon has been sustained at Salem, at first by the charity of many kind hearted friends. Later, and at present, by acts of the Legislature, we have received an appro priation for this work, for which we wish to express our gratitude, that the hearts of our Legislature have been moved in favor of so worthy an object. Though called a private institution, it is doing State work in receiving orphaned children from all parts of Oregon, and even those from Washington Territory have not been r fused. The home is situated on high ground nearly opposite the In3ane asylum, in the eastern part of Salem. It is managed by a board of ladies, who employ a man and his wifejto act as superintendent and matrom who with the children constitute one fam. ily. They occupy the same house and ta ble, and enjoy all things in common. A committee of ladies visit thera often and report at the monthly meetings of the board on the welfare of the children and condition of the home. At present there are eleven children un der the care of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Melson, The wb.ole number of children entered dur ing the year is eighteon. The good health of the children is largely owing Jto the excellent situation of the Home and wholesome diet. No physician has been called in during the year. The public is invited to visit the Home at any time during the week. Letters of application or inquiry will be cheerfully attended to if addressed to the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Dr. Chase, Salem.

The common council of Corvallis met in regular session at recorder's office on Man-' day evening. Present His Honor F. A. Chenoweth, Mayor, S. T. Jeffreys, Recorder, A. R. Py gall, Marshal, and all the aldermen except Messrs Rowland and Vincent. The committee on streets submitted a re port relative to the drain from the city laun dry to the river, recommending that said drain bs changed to an underground ditch, and that its course be so changed as to cause it to empty into the river between Pitman's mill and the fruit dryer; also, that the drain from the stables in the vicinity of said laun dry be conveyed into the Slid ditch. The same committee also reported upou the complaint of John Moor concerning the drain which passes through his lots, finding that said drain is a natural water wy, and expressing doubt as to whether it is obliga tory upon the council to grant the relief de manded. And if the council has power to remedy tho evil, the financial condition of the city would not now admit of it, as the ex pense would be at least 1000. The reports were adopted.

T., Jan. 7, says: Saturday morning about 10 o'clock a Chinaee prostitute named Chung Sow was found lying on her bed literally chopped to pieces. She was still alive, but soon breathed het last. The weapon with which the murder was com mitted, an ordinary axe, was found in the room. It was upposed that Lee Chow, who until a few days since was a pantry man at one of the hotels here, was the mur derer, and as he had left on the west bound train Saturday morning, a telegram was sent to Conductor Flinn, who areested him at Bitzville. The woman's jewelry was found on his person, and bloody garments and other incidents point to his guilt. He was brought to Cheney on the afternoon train and lodged in jail. At 10 o'clock Saturday night a mob of eiarhty citizens went to the jail, broke the lock, and in ten minutes Lee Chow was swinging from the limb of p. neighboring bull pine. A guard who had been placed in the jail, made no resistance, and there was but little noise or excitement. The murderer and the victim now lie side- by side, and an inquest will be held to-morrow over both. A Key to the Metric System. It may not be generally known that we have in the nickel five-cent piece of our coinage, a key to the tables tf linear meas ures and of weights. The diameter of this coin is two centimeters, and its weight is five grammes. Five of them placed in a row will, of course, give the length of the decimeter; and two of them will weigh a decagramme. As the kiloliter is a cnbic meter, the key to the measure of length is also the key to the measures of capacity. Any person, therefore, who is fortunate enough to own a five-cent nickel, may carry in his pocket the entire metric system of weights and measures. Coast Ellis Nursery. We have received from Mr. Ed. C; Phelps, manager of the above nursery, Id eated near Newport, a circular stating that in order to carry out matured plans and be able to meet the demands of trade, he wiU discontinue the handling of seeds, and here after devote his undivided attention to the nursery and flower business. A LEGISLATIVE JOKE. Hon. B. J. Sharp'3 Great Speech In Behalf of Pure Grub. On October 17th, near the end of the ses ion, the bill introduced in the House by Hon. D. M. Dunbar, of Washington county, for an act to prohibit the adulteration of food and drink, came up for final action. The measure provided for the appointment of an Inspector, whose duty it should be to examine all articles of food and drink offered for sale in the State, and ascertain if the same contained any ingredients unwhole some or detrimental to health and if neces sary to analyze the same. Hon. L. B. Ison, of Baker was in the chair. Mr. Dunbar opened the debate in behalf to his bill with a well digested argument. Then followed two or three speakers of the opposition, who proceeded to demolish every point made by Mr. Dunbar, and one, Mr. Ford, of Marion, dwelt with particular emphasis upon the impracticability of the measure, and it was evident at the conclusion of his remarks that the bill was doomed to join the' great majority in the waste basket . It was then that Hon. R. J. Sharp, of Clackamas, whose hert is full of symphathy for those in dis tress, came to the rescue of Mr. Dunbar, and made an eloquent speech in favor of the bill. He showed the evils of adulterated yeast powders, canned salmon and oysters known among merchants as "swell heads," tainted fruit, vegetables and meats offered in themarkets, the necessity of pure tea and coffee, as well as other drinks. He saw that his remarks were effective, and straigh tening himself for a final illustration that would go home to the minds and stomach of every hearer, lie said: "There is another article that enters largely into our domestic economy that must not be overlooked. I presume that every gentleman upon this floor is as familiar with it as my colleague, Mr. Moses, and myself. No man who is the head of a family or dwells in gilded boarding houses can escape it. The rich and poor alike partake of it, and its use is so common that I feel justified in designating it a3 our National dish. Its purity and whole sorneness has been questioned by evil dispos ed persons, and even if no other interest is subserved, I want the bill to pass that an Inspector may examine and analyze this ar ticle, and settle a question that "has long vexed the public mind. The commodity I allude to is Hash! Now Mr. Speaker, what is hash ma le of?" The Speaker smil ingly replied, "I give it up." This was so unexpected, and so pat, that'the House was convulsed with laughter, and Mr. Sharp took his seat without concluding his re marks, which contemplated an answer to his own question, in " the language of Mark Twain, that hash is the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." The roll was called, and the bill went by the board. Causes of Diphtheria. Dr. Henry Mills 3ays: Among the many theories as to the cause of diphtheria, I no tice a statement of Dr. Qaesner in a recent number of the Boston Chemical News, that he has almost come to the conclusion that the disease is to be traced to a fungu3 found in spots on fruits, especially apples. The fact that the disease was very prevalent last summer and fall in many of the apple grow ing districts of our own and other states, would seem to give weight to this decision. He says, during the summer and fall chil dren are in the daily habit of picking fruit from the ground and eating immediately without rubbing or cleansing, thus taking into the system whatever may have grown or become attached to the surface of the fruit. The fungoid origin of whooping cough was asserted some years since, by M. Svet zerick, and seems how to be confirmed by M. Yschamer, who says he has found cer tain lower organisms in the spittle of whoop ing cough patients organisms not met with in any other disease accompanied with cough and expecration. He claim further, that the organisms are identical with those which by their agglomeration, form the black points or spots on the skin of many fruits, especially apples. M. Yschamer, by ino culating rabbits with this fungus, produced similar results to whooping cough. The writer of this article as a misroscop lst has examined fruits this winter, and has found the black spots on the apples to con sist of a fungus one of the oidia. The spots vary in size from a pin's head to a good sized pea. A small portion of tho dark downy tuft growing in the centra of the spot, when removed by the point of a pen knife to a suitable Slide and placed under the microscope, will show the fungus. My celium and threads and spores extending from these sometimes cover a iarge part of the apple, as may be seen with even a low power of the instrument. Slides can easily be prepared so as to show the fungus either as opaque or transparent. The spores are inconceivably small, and thousand of them with the mycelium might lodge in the fauce3 without being felt, unless they should begin to germinate. The microscope reveals the fact that the decayed part of apples also is infested through and through with a similar fungus. Mr. Thomas Taylor, a microscopist in Washington, D. C. , has discovered an Ento zoa one" of the anguelluse in a diseased pear, also in diseased peaches, and even a deseas ed tomato. Buffalo M. S. Journal. Yaquina Jottings. The steamer Kate and Ann came in on Fridaj', Dec. 29, and the steamer Ona On Saturday. Both vessels have been long de layed hv the storins. They had full loads and left freight behind that they could not bring for want of room. The supplies, especially flour, were beginning to be need ed by the merchants of the bay. ' The ball at Elk City was a success in point of numbers. Everybody was peaca ble, and went home satisfied. A large crowd, including the band, went up irom Newport. Mr. J. S. Polhemus, C. E., in charge of the government work, returned from a trip to Portland in a good state of preservation. The government tug, Gen. Wright, has gone to Portland for the winter, there be ing no immediate work for the vessel here. Rax Uncle Tom's (Cabin.

Enabling us to procure an easy chair so much needed by her in-' her severe afHictun, and to obtain other needed com forts. Mrs. Kitchen. State Temperance Aliiancs. The Oregon State Temperance Alliance will hold its twelfth annual session in the city of Albany on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1883 at 1 o'clock P. M. All societies devot ed to the interest of the temperance cause are urged to send delegates, the basis of rep resentation being one fcr tho organization and one for every twenty members and one for each fraction over ten. The usual courtes ies have been extended to members of the alliance by the transportation companies. Horse Lost . On Monday evening Mr. Perry Preston, drayman of this city, drove into the river at the ferry landing for the purpose of wash ing his dray. The river was well up at the time,-and upon entering the water the horse stepped into a hole that had been washed out by the current, lost his equilibrium, and plunged forward into deep water, taking the dray with him. The animal did not rise to the surface haviug been strangled at the first plunge. The dray and harness were recovered on Wednesday. Quick Work. J. H. Aldrich and Jack Allphin, of the Summit, did not only a substantial job but an exceedingly quick one in the work of re pairing the Yaquina river bridge at the Warren Bros'. which was taken cut by the late flood. They took the job by contract and commenced work on NTjf Years day and in just one week's time they pulled ti e old bridge from the river and replaced it with a substantial structure, 10 feet in ength and 3 feet higher than the original. Messrs. Aldrich and Allphin are to be con gratulated, as the bridge was much needed, and we must confess that for quick bridge building this -'yanks the bum." Bough time at "The Front." The rough civilization on tho works of the N. P. R. R., known as "the front," is still manifesting itself and murders are frequent. Every day reports come into the camps of desperate encounters and desperate charac ters meeting sudden and awful deaths at the hands of lawless persons. Whisky is king and drunken brawls are frequent, when the ever ready revolver is whipped out and murder is the result. No arrests are made and there is no law. Surely there ought to be some effort to have civil officers and some kind of local courts in these localitses- Forty-Five Miles of the O. & C. E. E. Accepted. Rev. E. R. Geary, James Fisk and Col. J. McCracken, the commissioners appointed by the President of the United States to ex amine and report to the government the condition of the southern extension of the O. &:C. railroad, says the Roseburg Plain deakr,ca,me up last week and went over the constructed road and formally examined the same as far as the West Fork of Cow creek a distance of 45 miles south of here, and duly accepted it. They reported this part of the road the best along the entire line be tween Portland and the southern terminus, the same being laid with steel rails and well ballasted the entire distance. Missing. Joseph Kisberger who left Corvallis this spring to work on the O. & C. R. tt. exten sure, has been missing for some time. The Roseburg Independent says that he left camp No. 8 on the 18th of December last, for George Riddle's for a hors9 and mule. He obtained them and started on his return the same day riding the mule and leading the horse. The next day the animals were found returning towards Riddle's, the mule having the saddle on, since which time noth ing has been heard of him. Kisberger was a German, abous thirty years of age and was an immigrant of 1831. He had been at work for the railroad company all summer with five animals, which are still at camp. It is supposed that in attempting to ford the stream in the dark he was drowned. Vaccination for Blackleg. L. B. Applcgate, of Swan Lake, saya the Ashland Tidings, informs us that many of the cattle men of Klamath county are vac cinating their calves with garlic, as a pre ventive of blackleg. The idea is not a new one, as the same preventive has been used for many years in European countries. An incision is made in the skin and fleshof the calf, usually about the shoulder, and a small piece of garlic is inserted, after which the skin is sewed together. Several calves which nave been vaccinated in Klamath county have had the blackleg, and have re covered from it, which is strong evidence of the efficacy of vaccination, for the disease has been invariably fatal, so far as we have heard, among calves not vaccinated. The Applegate and Collohan herds have been vaccinated, and have been free from the disease since, with the exception of the calves mentioned above as being attacked, but recovering. Three or four calves in the Applegate band were missed in the vaccina tion, however, and they have since died of the disease. Mailing Machine. Some time ago we purchased a new mail ing machine but until recently we have not had time to set up type for and arrange the mailing list.

Mr. Cook's infant daughter has a severe attack of erysipelas. Flave Hinton, who has been suffering for some weeks, with lung fever, is now con valescent. He will soon be ready to knock the "golden slippers" off that "other fellow." Our morchants are busy taking stock of their goods. The want which has long been felt in Monroe of a livery stable, has been sup plied by Mr. S. Looney. He is doing a good business. - Essica. Items From Turn Turn. Editor Gazette: Thinking that per haps some of the readers of the Gazette would like to hear from this part of the world, we concluded to write a few lines. Christmas was celebrated in this imme diate neighborhood by a dinner at Mr. Maxey's which was attended by quite a number of the youth and aged folks. After dinner the younger portion of the guests repaired to the kitchen and indulged in an old fashioned candy pulling. All enjoyed themselves and we hear that several mashes were made (of plates). New Years day Was celebrated by a din ner at Mr. Bowman's. All partook of an excellent repast and returned in the eve-' ning to their respective homes happy in the thought that God reigns over the just and the unju3t. -We have a school in this district under the efficient management of Rev. T. B. Ellis. Johnny Flickinger aiid Dick Buckley have gone to Eastern Oregon to spend the winter. Dame Rumor says there is to be a wed ding in the near future.

We are not prepared to say how they enjoyed themselves as we have not mot with any of the devotees of Terpsichore as yet. As the game law comes into" effect the jolly nimrods, Frank Yantis and Lew Rus sell will have to lay aside their guns and go fishing. - We hear that a couple of young ladies went fishing the other day. They did not bring any fish home with them however. The high water in Dec. gave us a pretty close call. The rain descended and caused the people of Turn Turn a great deal of brain work as to the nearest way to Mt. Ararat by raft. The problem remains un solved. There will be . preaching at Turn Turn school house on the third Sunday of this month. All are invited to attend. Time is pressing and Our letter already too long. Please don't consign hs .to the waste basket for we will talk. More anon, Hibs and Qitirk.- Coast News. From the Yaquina Post of ths 6th we clip the following: lee formed in upper Bay on New Years day a cold night. Ed. -Abby is very ill at his home in Newport. Fresh beef is scarce and higher, selling from 10c. to l2Jc. a pound. All the bridges between here and the sum; mit are up, except the one over Simpson creek, this side of Trapp'a.
